"Fool! Useless!"
Before Qian Yun could finish, Qian Feng shouted angrily and swung his fist down, his rage boiling in his chest!
"Idiot! After so many years in business, don't you know not to judge a book by its cover? What's the use of keeping a fool like you!"
The more Qian Feng thought about it, the angrier he became, and the harder his fists fell. Within a few minutes, Qian Yun was covered in bruises!
"Grandpa, boohoo… I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'm an animal, I'm a scoundrel, boohoo…"
After an unknown duration of beating, Qian Feng finally stopped when his vision blurred. Seeing his grandfather cease, Qian Yun quickly kowtowed and apologized.
Mingyue Hotel was the sole source of income for their Qian family. Without the hotel, they wouldn't even be a third-rate influential family!
But now, the hotel had been sold, and Er Zhu had the backing of Elder Fang. It would be extremely difficult to get the hotel back!
"Get out! Don't show your face to me again unless I summon you!"
Hearing Qian Yun's voice only made Qian Feng angrier. He pointed furiously at the door and roared.
Qian Yun, ignoring his bruised forehead, quickly got up and left the Qian residence as fast as he could.
"Grandpa, Big Brother, what mistake did he make to make you so angry?"
As Qian Yun left, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked down the stairs. He was handsome, but a hint of effeminacy emanated from his brows.
He was Qian Yun's younger brother, Qian Lin. If he hadn't been born out of wedlock, he would have been the general manager of Mingyue Hotel!
Although he had ignored the hotel over the years, he had been secretly preparing. Once Qian Yun made a mistake, he would step in to salvage the situation, and then Mingyue Hotel would be his!
"Sigh, this good-for-nothing!" Seeing Qian Lin, Qian Feng sighed and shook his head, recounting the story of the hotel being sold.
"I was planning to expand my business. This beast actually sold the hotel, and to such a powerful and influential person! Our Qian family is finished!"
Finally, Qian Feng shook his head helplessly, despair flashing in his eyes.
The business he had poured his life's effort into creating was ruined by this fool. The Qian family's status in Huabei City would surely plummet!
"Grandpa, don't worry. Leave this to me. So what if Elder Fang is backing him? I have the ability to get the hotel back!"
Qian Lin adjusted his glasses, gazing in the direction of Mingyue Hotel, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
He had prepared for so long, and now it was finally his time to shine. Wang Er Zhu, he wanted to see just how capable this kid was!
"Good, if you can get the hotel back, then Mingyue Hotel will be yours!"
Qian Feng was startled. Although he didn't quite believe Qian Lin, seeing his confident demeanor, he nodded.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. On this day, Fang Min was reviewing the month's reports, but the more she looked, the more uneasy she felt.
The income this month had dropped drastically. Where had all the customers gone?
"Xia Lin, summon all the hotel general managers. I want to have a meeting!"
Fang Min pondered for a long time without understanding, so she called for her secretary.
In a flash, all the hotel managers arrived. Fang Min scanned the room and then threw the reports from each hotel onto the table.
"Speak, what's going on?"
Seeing Fang Min's grim expression, the hotel managers naturally guessed what had happened. Some shook their heads helplessly, while others wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If there are no problems, then you can all get lost!"
Seeing their hesitation, Fang Min's expression grew even uglier, and her voice rose several octaves.
She knew there had to be something wrong. If she found out who was stealing her business, she would skin them alive!
"It's Mingyue Hotel. They launched a medicinal cuisine called the Five-Flavor Chicken. As soon as this dish came out, it caused quite a stir, especially among the upper class. Some influential figures even drove for hours to eat it."
"Yes, every customer who ate the Five-Flavor Chicken raved about its taste. Now, the Five-Flavor Chicken is in short supply!"
"That's right, I heard Mingyue Hotel made fifty million in a month, and we…"
…
As one hotel manager spoke, others chimed in. In short, their words described the Five-Flavor Chicken as the ultimate delicacy!
"Nonsense, are you even speaking human? How can one dish prop up an entire hotel!"
Fang Min grew angrier with every word she heard. She didn't believe this was the truth but rather an excuse from the managers!
"Ms. Fang, although this is incredibly unbelievable, that's the reality. It's because of this dish that Mingyue Hotel is thriving…"
Seeing Fang Min's face darken as if it could drip water, the managers, though unwilling to contradict her, still nervously continued to explain.
"Fine, I'd like to see how one dish can prop up an entire hotel!"
Fang Min wanted to curse further but seeing the helpless look on the managers' faces, she decided to see for herself.
She wanted to see just how capable a "fool" could be!
Fang Min drove to Mingyue Hotel. As soon as she arrived at the entrance, she saw a long queue outside, including servants from wealthy families waiting in line!
"Heh, a bunch of uncultured philistines!"
Fang Min glanced disdainfully at the queue, sneering as she walked into the hotel.
As a young lady from an influential family, what delicacies hadn't she tasted? She didn't believe a mere chicken could be that delicious!
She arrived at her reserved private room, and soon, the Five-Flavor Chicken was served.
"This doesn't look special at all. It's just a regular chicken stewed with a few herbs. These people's taste is getting worse and worse!"
Looking at the incredibly ordinary Five-Flavor Chicken, Fang Min grumbled to herself as she picked at the food.
It was one thing for commoners to be impressed by the Five-Flavor Chicken, but for the wealthy to be infatuated with it – it was a disgrace to their social standing!
"My goodness… this Five-Flavor Chicken is too delicious!"
Just as Fang Min was complaining, the exquisite chicken exploded with flavor in her mouth. The Q-弹 chicken combined with the savory broth shocked Fang Min!
She had tasted countless delicacies, but none were as delicious as this Five-Flavor Chicken!
"Oh my god, this is too delicious…"
The more Fang Min ate, the more delicious it became, and the more addictive it felt. In the end, her stomach was almost bursting, but her mouth was still not satisfied!
In a flash, the Five-Flavor Chicken was finished, not even the green onions and ginger slices left behind!
Fang Min wiped her mouth and looked at the chicken bones on the table, her mind still savoring the exquisite taste of the Five-Flavor Chicken!
She had originally thought it was impossible for a single dish to prop up an entire hotel, but now, she believed it was true!
