Chapter 2286
A Happy Family Opens for Business
No one knows how Qin Huairu explained it, but the next day Yi Zhonghai completely ignored the matter.
For several days in a row, Liu Guangtian and the others were afraid of being scolded and did not dare to approach Yi Zhonghai.
They didn't really need to be so afraid.
Now, there are only a few of them living in the courtyard house. Even if everyone knows, it doesn't matter.
Soon, the happy family in Wangfujing arrived at the opening day.
Bang Geng drove, taking Yi Zhonghai with him, to pick up Jin Qihao for the opening ceremony.
Jin Qihao was very pleased to see the portrait next to the signboard.
"You've put your heart into this."
Yi Zhonghai said very sincerely, "When the old lady was alive, she hoped that everyone could live in harmony, and be like family even though we are not family."
It's because I'm so useless that I couldn't fulfill her wish.
This time, they chose this shop name and even used an old lady's portrait as the signboard.
I did all this to fulfill the old lady's last wish.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that, apart from the color scheme, the happy family is almost identical to the Fragrant Half City.
The restaurant "Fragrance Spreads Halfway Through the City" used Lou Bancheng's portrait as its signboard.
Yi Zhonghai's side uses the image of a deaf old lady as a signboard.
Tang Yanling originally intended to use Yi Zhonghai's image.
Yi Zhonghai has a standard square face, which makes him look like a good person at first glance, and is very deceptive.
It's perfect as a signboard.
Yi Zhonghai was just thinking that since Jin Qihao had provided the money, using the deaf old lady's image was the only way to please Jin Qihao.
Finally, it was decided to use the image of the deaf old lady.
This photo was also provided by Yi Zhonghai.
Of all the courtyard houses, only Yi Zhonghai still keeps the deaf old lady's belongings.
Jin Qihao attended the hotel's opening ceremony with satisfaction and delivered a speech.
He Yuzhu also learned about their opening.
The Happy Family started their business precisely to go against him. It's no surprise that they've become famous throughout the city.
They can easily copy the signature moves, but they can never truly learn the core essence.
He Yuzhu had nothing to worry about. He continued to entertain the distinguished guests.
The Happy Family restaurant opened for business and offered many discounts to attract customers, so business was quite good.
The crowds in the vicinity have all been drawn away by the happy family.
Several stores, including Xiangpiao Bancheng, KFC, and McDonald's, saw a decline in business.
Seeing this, Jin Qihao felt that Yi Zhonghai and the others were quite capable.
To encourage them to keep up the good work, Jin Qihao decided to treat a few people to dinner.
"Brother Yi, you can leave the business in the shop to a few young people."
Let's go to a restaurant and celebrate.
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed: "That's what I thought too."
Where are we going?
"Let's go to Chaoyang Hotel." Jin Qihao thought for a moment and decided to go to He Yuzhu's hotel.
Firstly, the food at Chaoyang Hotel was indeed delicious; secondly, they wanted to show off and lure He Yuzhu out.
He's been in Beijing for so long, and he's never even met He Yuzhu.
Yi Zhonghai, however, had a different idea.
When "Happy Family" opened its doors, it defeated "Fragrant Half the City." This was a victory for him over He Yuzhu.
Going to He Yuzhu's restaurant was a way of showing off to him.
He plans to celebrate the opening of the fried chicken shops near Qianmen and Xizhimen at the Chaoyang Hotel.
"Okay, let's go now, Lao Liu."
Yi Zhonghai saw Liu Haizhong giving random directions at the door and called out.
Liu Haizhong walked over with a smile: "Old Yi, Brother Qi Hao, I didn't expect our fried chicken shop to be doing so well."
"I discussed it with Lao Yi, and we're thinking of going to the Chaoyang Hotel to celebrate, what do you think?" Jin Qihao asked with a smile.
"Great. We have to celebrate. Let that idiot Zhu know that we'll beat him sooner or later." Liu Haizhong immediately agreed.
Yi Zhonghai then asked, "Where is Lao Yan?"
Liu Haizhong said helplessly, "Don't you know him? He's sitting in front of the cashier right now, staring intently. The cashier girl is getting really creeped out by his gaze."
His wife was there with him, keeping watch.
Yi Zhonghai was immediately a little embarrassed: "This old Yan, the older he gets, the more he acts like a child."
Go and call him over; we'll have Banggeng take us to the restaurant.
Liu Haizhong didn't care at this point; what right did Yi Zhonghai have to order him around?
He responded and went to find Yan Bugui.
A short while later, Yan Bugui followed Liu Haizhong out.
"I've calculated it. Our morning's revenue is almost more than the daily revenue of Xiangpiao Bancheng across the street."
Yi Zhonghai, afraid of losing face, didn't want to engage with the topic: "Old Liu already told you, right? We're going to eat at Chaoyang Hotel."
“Go. I must go.” Yan Bugui agreed without hesitation.
He had always wanted to help collect the money, but Qin Huairu and Tang Yanling wouldn't let him handle it at all.
Yan Bugui could only watch enviously.
If you can't get a good deal over there, you can't miss out on the cheap food here.
Yi Zhonghai then made arrangements for everyone to take a car to the restaurant.
Everything was arranged, but the driver, Bang Geng, was forgotten.
"Where's the stick?"
The third aunt said, "Tang Yanling's two best friends are here. Banggeng and Tang Yanling are chatting with them over there."
"What are you going to talk to them about?" Yi Zhonghai had absolutely no liking for Tang Yanling's two best friends.
Especially after their smuggling operation went wrong, the two men simply disappeared.
Yi Zhonghai looked down on the two of them even more.
The three women said, "I don't know either."
Yi Zhonghai then called Liu Guangfu, who was not far away, and asked him to bring Banggeng over.
Chai Ning and Cui Xin came along together.
"Uncle Yi." Upon seeing Yi Zhonghai, the two immediately adopted a fawning attitude.
Yi Zhonghai snorted: "Don't call me Uncle Yi. I don't have nieces like you."
Jin Qihao stared at the two of them, a look of interest on his face.
"Brother Yi, don't be angry. Who exactly are they?"
Chai Ning quickly said, "Uncle, I am Yanling's good friend."
Who are you? I didn't see you when I visited the courtyard house before.
Jin Qihao explained with a smile, "I am the son of the deaf old lady in the courtyard. I just came back from Taiwan."
Upon hearing this, Chai Ning and his companion knew that this person was the wealthy owner of the courtyard house, and their attitude became exceptionally good.
The two extended their hands to shake hands with Jin Qihao.
“We’ve heard Yanling say that you’re a big boss.”
Jin Qihao laughed heartily: "What kind of big boss am I? I'm just a small fry."
Since you are Yanling's friends, then you are my juniors.
We were just about to go to Chaoyang Hotel for lunch, why don't you come along?
When Yi Zhonghai heard that Jin Qihao had invited the two of them, he was very unhappy and was about to stand up and object.
Yan Bugui reacted quickly and stopped Yi Zhonghai from speaking.
Jin Qihao is their sugar daddy; they can't afford to offend him.
Yi Zhonghai wasn't an unreasonable person; after being reminded by Yan Bugui, he didn't dare to act recklessly.
He suppressed his displeasure and said, "Our car is already full. You might as well not go."
Jin Qihao smiled and said, "Let them ride in my car."
Yi Zhonghai was completely at a loss and could only get into the car and sit there angrily.
Chai Ning and Cui Xin went to great lengths to curry favor with Jin Qihao, the big boss.
The two of them, one on each side, kept trying to please Jin Qihao.
After getting into the car, Jin Qihao placed his hands on the two men's thighs.
Chai Ning and her companion were not naive young girls; they not only allowed Jin Qihao to do as he pleased, but also deliberately leaned against him. (End of Chapter)
