Chapter 1281: Chapter 668: Preparing the Jewelry Store

When the three came out of the hotel, it was around ten in the morning, and they were all hungry, especially Chen Feng.

They found a nearby food stall and ordered seven or eight dishes before they started eating.

Chen Feng ate three big bowls of rice in one go, and most of the dishes on the table were eaten by him.

After finishing, he ordered a can of herbal tea, drank half of it directly, and finally felt comfortable.

"People are steel, rice is iron," this saying is true.

Especially when one’s energy is greatly depleted, if you don’t eat something to replenish your energy, you can really collapse.

Seeing Chen Feng regained his energy, Guo Mengyao smiled and said, "I’ll treat you to a good dinner tonight."

Chen Feng quickly shook his head, "No need."

"I originally said I would treat you to stew last night, but then you paid, so I must reciprocate the invitation. It’s settled, I’ll contact you when I get off work tonight."

Guo Mengyao spoke with an undeniable tone, a demeanor like a female CEO. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But Chen Feng wasn’t buying it, saying, "I promised my mom I’d go home for dinner tonight. This time back, I haven’t really had a proper meal at home, and my mom is already displeased with me."

Chen Feng directly used his mom as a shield, but he wasn’t lying. His mom, Zhao Xiaolan, was indeed a bit unhappy with him being away, and she had sent him a voice message to scold him, asking if he’d be home for dinner today.

Chen Feng replied on WeChat that he’d go home for dinner tonight, explaining that he was busy looking for a shop these days and also had to meet some classmates, so he was a bit busy.

Although Zhao Xiaolan didn’t quite believe his explanation, she didn’t say much else and just told him to try to come home more often and not disappear entirely.

Chen Feng agreed. It was just the right excuse now.

He needed to take care of himself and couldn’t always be caught up with women, especially with these two enchanting, captivating ladies.

Chen Feng was truly feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"Alright then, how about tomorrow? You should have time tomorrow, right?"

Guo Mengyao instinctively held some respect for Zhao Xiaolan, definitely not daring to compete with her.

"We’ll see about tomorrow," Chen Feng naturally found another excuse. "I need to be busy preparing for the jewelry store, might not always be free."

Guo Mengyao frowned and said, "You’re busy during the day, but are you busy at night too? You can’t refuse me this time, let’s say tomorrow evening. If dinner doesn’t work, then we’ll do late-night snacks."

This completely blocked Chen Feng from finding another excuse to refuse.

Chen Feng really couldn’t find an excuse this time, so he pretended to be cheerful and said, "Alright, tomorrow night then."

Chen Feng decided that he couldn’t be one-on-two anymore; he could have supper with them tomorrow night, but not spend the night together.

Seeing Chen Feng finally agreed, Guo Mengyao’s face showed a satisfied smile.

Throughout, Yu Xiaohui stood by without interrupting, which also pleased Guo Mengyao. Just like in the morning, Yu Xiaohui gave her some face.

Such a sensible ally, Guo Mengyao was willing to accept.

The two ladies quickly finished their meal, and they all left the food stall together.

Guo Mengyao reluctantly bid them farewell temporarily, drove off to work.

While Chen Feng took Yu Xiaohui to Yuelou Town to prepare for the jewelry store.

In the car, Chen Feng discussed some specific details with her. Yu Xiaohui, with her experience, immediately asked for Zhao Shengsheng’s headquarters phone number, called them, and inquired when their review personnel would come over.

After reporting some of Chen Feng’s personal information, they quickly got a reply from them, stating that at the latest by tomorrow or the day after, their review staff would come over and contact Chen Feng directly.

With this clear answer, the shop issue was next.

The two quickly arrived at Baijia Square, at the shop Chen Feng had bought. They identified themselves as shop owners to the staff at the operating clothing store inside and asked for the shop owner’s phone number, called him, and informed him that the shop would no longer be rented after next month’s lease expiry.

The clothing store owner didn’t say much, his business was generally mediocre, which was why he rented every three months, fearing business might not be good and he’d lose rent.

Now that Chen Feng, the new owner, said so, he didn’t insist and agreeably complied.

This smooth sailing made Chen Feng very happy.

Next up was officially registering the jewelry store’s business license, which required quite a few certificates and documents. Yu Xiaohui was familiar with this and first asked Chen Feng to prepare relevant certificates and documents, including some from Baijia Square.

Chen Feng took Yu Xiaohui to the mall’s administration department, found Manager Li, the same person who provided shop information last time, expressed his gratitude, and invited him for lunch, as it was noon by then.

Manager Li readily accepted the invitation.

Chen Feng then smoothly asked him for a small favor, to help open the necessary documents for the business license.

The person gladly helped with such a small favor, and they conveniently opened all the documents with Manager Li personally guiding the way.

After that, Chen Feng took Manager Li directly to Yujing Hotel for lunch.

Yujing Hotel, as the only five-star hotel in Lin Nan, is undoubtedly the highest in class, hosting certain banquets and feasts, but due to the high prices, regular people obviously wouldn’t dine here.

Chen Feng bringing Manager Li here for food and drinks this time was quite reasonable; though he was responsible for market leasing over there, his power wasn’t small. Later, when Chen Feng’s jewelry store opens in the mall, there might be places where he needs his help, so it’s crucial to maintain a good relationship.

Given Chen Feng’s status and wealth now, he originally didn’t need to personally host such a person, but for the sake of smooth business for his jewelry store later, mainly to lessen his parents’ worries, befriending such current mall officials was not a bad idea.

And for Manager Li, a seasoned workplace veteran, associating with Chen Feng, who clearly appeared to be wealthy, was naturally appealing.

Especially since he previously saw Zhao Zixuan beside Chen Feng and today saw Yu Xiaohui, with both women being top-tier beauties, he inevitably paid more attention to Chen Feng.

Although Chen Feng’s exact wealth wasn’t clear to him, just seeing the changing beauties around him suggested that Chen Feng must be very wealthy.

Chen Feng bringing him to Yujing further confirmed this notion, directly reserving a private room and ordering a luxury package worth 11,888, making him feel flattered.

Additionally, he ordered a bottle of Moutai worth over three thousand, giving the person full face respect.

Naturally, with both keen to form ties with each other, the conversation was amicable, host and guest were delighted.

Everyone was pretty satisfied with the meal; though it’s not very cost-effective, expensive things have their reason. Both the ingredients and flavors could be considered top-notch.

The Moutai wine was also smooth to drink, even with Chen Feng being relatively restrained. He drank about a third, and the rest went into Manager Li’s belly.
