Boss Zhong’s expression immediately turned strange. Yes, this friend of yours had indeed bought his restaurant. However, judging by the tone of this Jia Hou, it sounded like a mockery. Being the shrewd person he was, Boss Zhong immediately understood what was happening.
“Heh heh!” Boss Zhong chuckled. “That’s quite interesting. Mr. Jia, is there anything else?”
“Um, Boss Zhong, could you perhaps arrange the Heavenly Chamber for me?” Jia Hou felt that Boss Zhong should grant him this favor.
“That’s not something I can decide,” Boss Zhong replied with a smile, shaking his head.
“Boss Zhong, what do you mean by that?” Jia Hou was somewhat confused.
“It means nothing. It’s just that the Tian Lou is changing owners,” Boss Zhong said, shrugging his shoulders.
Jia Hou was a bit surprised. What was going on? The Tian Lou was changing owners? How could it be so sudden?
Wait!
Suddenly, Jia Hou sensed something was amiss. He abruptly looked at Li Se behind him, a bad premonition arising in his heart.
As expected, Boss Zhong had bypassed Jia Hou and walked directly to Li Se, a smile on his face. At least his attitude was far more polite than it had been towards Jia Hou.
“Mr. Li, this is the transfer agreement for the Tian Lou. Once you sign your name, this Tian Lou will be yours.” Boss Zhong himself was astonished. To be able to buy his Tian Lou at such a young age, one could only imagine how formidable his background must be.
Jia Hou and Song Ling were stunned at that moment, even wondering if they had misheard. Li Se had actually bought the Tian Lou?
This was impossible. How could it be? Wasn’t he just someone who relied on others? How could he possibly afford to buy the Tian Lou?
One had to know that the Tian Lou itself was worth a great deal, and its business had been consistently good. To purchase the Tian Lou would require a significant premium. This was a sky-high price. He had never expected that Li Se would be able to come up with such a sum. He was absolutely certain that Tang Xi could not afford so much money; this was over a hundred million in cash.
Who exactly was this person?
Anyone who could come up with so much money to buy the Tian Lou was definitely not an ordinary person.
He was definitely richer than him.
Thinking of this, Jia Hou’s expression became rather unpleasant. Had he just kicked a steel plate?
Li Se quickly signed his name.
“Mr. Li, from today onwards, the Tian Lou is yours,” Boss Zhong said with a smile.
“Good!” Li Se nodded, then looked at Jia Hou, a playful smile on his lips. “You wanted to reserve the Heavenly Chamber? Then you’ll have to reserve it with me. Only if I agree can you enjoy the Heavenly Chamber.”
Jia Hou was immediately very embarrassed. The main reason was that he truly hadn't expected Li Se to actually become the owner of the Tian Lou. Now, he wished he could leave immediately. He had been slapped in the face too hard.
“Um, Mr. Li, that was all a misunderstanding…” Jia Hou could only bow his head now. There was no other way. This guy had spent over a hundred million to buy this Tian Lou. He couldn’t afford to offend such a powerful figure.
“Shall we go? To the Heavenly Chamber?” Li Se said with a chuckle.
Jia Hou had no desire to go. He could only make an excuse: “Um, I have some other matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you further. Let’s meet again next time!”
Or, he simply pulled Song Ling away.
Song Ling was also extremely frustrated. She had originally intended to put Tang Xi down, but the tables had turned, and she had been thoroughly embarrassed.
“You actually bought the restaurant. You’re really extravagant,” Tang Xi teased.
Li Se shrugged his shoulders. “It’s fine. Spending money occasionally feels pretty good. Otherwise, what’s the point of just earning money and not spending it?”
Under normal circumstances, Li Se wasn’t one to waste money, but splurging occasionally was quite enjoyable.
After lunch, Li Se and Tang Xi left directly. As for the restaurant, he didn’t interfere and left it entirely to Qiao Weiwei.
Or, it was best to keep everything as it was. Naturally, managing the restaurant had to be entrusted to professionals. Therefore, even though he had become the owner of this restaurant, all positions remained unchanged. Everything was as it was before.
Just then, Li Se received a phone call, it was from Lin Junhao.
Li Se found it a bit strange. Why would this guy suddenly look for him? However, he first sent Tang Xi back and then arrived at the meeting place he had arranged with Lin Junhao.
The agreed-upon location was a coffee shop.
“You’re looking for me about something?” Li Se knew that Lin Junhao wasn’t someone who would look for him without a reason. He usually only contacted him when there was something to discuss.
Lin Junhao took a sip of coffee, appearing very hesitant.
Seeing Lin Junhao’s indecisiveness, Li Se raised an eyebrow. This guy was clearly being deliberate. If he hadn’t thought about what he wanted to say to him, he wouldn’t have asked him to meet. Yet, he was now feigning hesitation.
However, on the surface, Li Se still had to pretend not to see through him, saying, “Just say what you need to say. I can handle it.”
Lin Junhao handed a document to Li Se, then, still feigning hesitation, said, “There’s something I don’t know whether I should tell you. I’m afraid you won’t be able to accept it once you know.”
Li Se raised his eyebrows again. He was acting really well. But he still took the document and glanced at it. With that glance, his brows furrowed.
“What does this mean?” Li Se frowned. This document contained information about a woman. This woman had died twenty years ago, but what did that have to do with him?
He had never heard this woman’s name before, so he was somewhat confused as to why Lin Junhao was showing him such information.
“Do you know who this woman is?” Lin Junhao asked with a solemn expression, putting on a mysterious act again.
“Who?” Li Se was clearly not very interested. It was undeniable that this woman was beautiful, truly beautiful. But she had been dead for twenty years. She had been dead for so long, and now it was being presented to him. He truly didn’t understand Lin Junhao’s intention.
Lin Junhao’s expression remained incredibly serious. After a long pause, he said, “Do you really not know who this woman is?”
“No,” Li Se truthfully shook his head. He was truly puzzled. He knew Lin Junhao wouldn’t look for him without reason, let alone talk about a woman he didn’t even know. What was the meaning of all this?
In any case, this time, Li Se was genuinely confused by Lin Junhao. What was the meaning of this?
Lin Junhao took a deep breath. He looked at Li Se very seriously and said word by word, “This woman’s name is Wan Qiuying, and she is Third Master’s original wife!”
