Daddy's Gourmet Shop
Chapter 545 - 531: I Just Saw Your Man!
Outside the Delicious Restaurant.
At this moment, quite a few people, after finishing their household chores, have agreed to come and line up together.
They are all loyal old customers.
They brought their own stools and sunshades, sitting in a row outside the store.
Lining up while enjoying the sun.
It’s like being on vacation.
And Old Qin and the other elderly folks, as usual, have set up card and chess tables at the entrance of the shop, entertaining themselves.
For a moment...
The entrance of the shop became lively.
Those unaware of the situation might mistake it for a card room...
Soon, that group of wealthy second-generation kids also drove over, having agreed to come.
Then they also brought their lining-up gadgets, orderly joining the queue behind the neighbors.
These guys!
They really cherish the meals at Delicious Restaurant before the holidays!
They are determined to eat every single meal into their bellies.
After all, every meal eaten is one less...
In the future, if they want to eat, the soonest would be the eighth day after the New Year...
So now, as long as the shop isn’t on holiday, they will come rain or shine to eat.
Liang Lu Yang glanced over, noticing Huang Tao’s car was not in the parking space, he muttered in confusion: "Huh? Where is Boss Huang’s car? Why isn’t it here?"
As soon as he said this.
It caught everyone’s attention, and they started to wonder and discuss it worriedly.
"Yeah, it was parked there this morning, how come it’s gone now? Did something come up?"
"Probably! But there are still staff inside busy, it’s probably just like last time, and he’ll be back soon!"
"Yeah, everyone don’t scare yourselves like last time! It will surely be open at noon as usual."
The crowd recalled the false alarm caused by their baseless speculations last time, and with this reminder, they were no longer panicked, waiting calmly for Huang Tao to return.
At this moment.
Huang Tao parked his car by the roadside.
Huang Yide also carefully parked his car behind Huang Tao’s.
"Boss Huang is here!"
The moment customers saw Huang Tao get off the car, their faces lit up with joy: "Boss Huang, did you go out for something?"
"Yes, I did."
Huang Tao nodded, opened the back door, and picked up Xuanxuan from her exclusive car seat.
Mr. Cheng, seeing Huang Yide get out from a brand new Mercedes with no license plate, immediately became understanding and said with some surprise and familiarity: "Yo, Old Huang, you bought a car?"
A jubilant Huang Yide, with a big grin: "How is it? Looks good, right?"
"It looks great! This is a Mercedes, right? Must be over a million?" said Old Cheng, unable to resist stepping forward to inspect the car.
Huang Yide chuckled, waving his hand: "Not that expensive, just over half a million."
"Just over half a million isn’t expensive?"
Old Cheng felt his worldview was shaken.
He worked all his life, practiced frugality and managed to buy a house around here, and drove a Passat.
Old Huang is already driving a Mercedes.
Sigh!
All working folks, why is there such a gap!
He expressed his envy: "Old Huang, who would have thought! Your little treasury is quite abundant!"
The other neighbors chimed in: "Yeah, who would have thought Old Huang, your wallet is quite hefty and thick!"
Huang Yide laughed, waving his hand again: "I just earn a fixed salary, just enough to get by, how can there be a little treasury! How could my wallet be so hefty!"
"This car! It’s a gift from my son."
"I told him not to, not to waste the money, but he insisted on buying it, said he’d be upset if he didn’t!"
Though his expression was full of helplessness, his words were full of pride!
The neighbors: "..."
Envy, they were jealous!
They strongly suspected that those last two sentences were what Huang Yide most wanted to say to them, but alas, they had no proof!
Sigh!
This is showing off his son in the clearest terms!
But, Old Huang indeed has the capital to show off!
Speaking of which.
Old Huang must have saved the Milky Way Galaxy in his past life to have such an exceptional and filial son like Huang Tao!
Though their children are also great and filial to them.
But none have shown filial piety to the extent of gifting a Mercedes...
The neighbors looked at Huang Tao with even more admiration and respect.
A dutiful son who is also generous to his parents.
Such a son is rare to find!
Of course.
Looking at Huang Yide, their eyes were full of envy.
"We envy you for having such a successful and filial son!"
"Yes, yes! Old Huang, to have such a successful and filial son, there’s nothing more to wish for in this life."
"Boss Huang, you are truly filial! Earned money and immediately bought your dad a luxury car."
Envy!
Just after getting the car, with the neighbors cheering him on, the smile on Huang Yide’s face never faded. After chatting briefly with the neighbors, he finally went into the store.
Because it was a holiday and she had returned home, Liu Menglin, who was queuing up at Delicious Restaurant, was stunned when she saw this scene and heard their conversation. She stood quietly in place, with a wave of surprise surging in her heart.
It wasn’t until Huang Tao and the others entered the store that she realized what had happened.
She walked to a corner and dialed Ye Wen’s number.
Originally, she and Ye Wen had agreed the day before yesterday that after she got back for the holiday today, they would go to Huang Tao’s for lunch together.
But plans never keep up with changes!
Ye Wen’s parents returned from out of town business yesterday afternoon.
And Ye Wen went to the countryside to accompany them. She was probably helping her parents clean up their old house at the moment...
A moment later.
The phone was answered, and Ye Wen’s gentle voice came through: "Hey, Menglin, what’s up?"
"Wen, guess who I just saw?"
Without waiting for Ye Wen to answer, Liu Menglin eagerly continued, "I just saw your man!"
"My man..."
Ye Wen was taken aback, softly spit out, "Ah, when did I ever have a man?"
Liu Menglin hurriedly said, "It’s Huang Tao!"
Hearing the name Huang Tao, Ye Wen couldn’t help but smile slightly: "Where did you see him?"
"Where else would it be?"
Finding the question silly, Liu Menglin couldn’t help but roll her eyes dramatically, "Of course, in front of Delicious Restaurant!"
"Oh, and guess what I found out?"
Ye Wen asked curiously, "What?"
Liu Menglin laughed and said, "Huang Tao, his parents, and Xuanxuan went to the dealership to get a car this morning. Guess what car he got?"
Ye Wen was slightly surprised, "He’s buying another car?"
Liu Menglin also asked surprisingly, "You didn’t know?"
"I didn’t know..."
Being questioned like this by her best friend, Ye Wen felt a little down: "How would I know? I’m not anyone special to him!"
Liu Menglin had a look of impatience, acting like the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is: "Ah, Wen, really, you’re driving me crazy!"
"Let me tell you, he bought a Mercedes for his dad, it’s an E-Class, worth five to six hundred thousand."
"Today he just got the car, and it’s in the five to six hundred thousand price range. What does this mean?"
"It means his small restaurant is very profitable! And it shows he is very filial, with excellent character."
There are many wealthy people, but truly filial ones are rare, especially those who buy a luxury car for their parents with their own efforts.
Liu Menglin had seen wealthy people before, but she initially thought that the restaurant owner Ye Wen liked made at most twenty to thirty thousand a month.
Who knew his earning ability was so strong?
In a short time, he earned enough for a Mercedes.
"Wen, you should go after him quickly!"
"Huh?"
"Huh, what? Hurry up and get him! He’s definitely a promising catch... if you don’t pursue him, someone else will!"
"But..."
"But what? No buts, when are you going to confess? If you don’t confess, I’ll go after him, okay? If I get him, why work for the rest of my life? Just sit at the store counter counting money, then figure out how to spend it..."
"Menglin..."
"Hahaha, just kidding, but I am a bit envious! The key is, he’s also so handsome and has a great physique, even if not for his money, having a relationship with him would definitely be wonderful..."
"..."
"Anyway, I’ve said what should and shouldn’t be said. You decide what to do! You better hurry, or else it’ll be too late, and if some other woman snatches him away, don’t come crying to me!"
"I won’t talk to you anymore, I need to queue up." Liu Menglin hung up the phone.
But now Ye Wen couldn’t focus on work.
She knew Huang Tao’s little restaurant was profitable, but didn’t know it was this profitable.
In just a few months, he bought two cars.
Each more expensive than the last!
With those two cars, they must be worth over 800,000...
Originally, she thought it was best to let things take their course, there was plenty of time, she just needed to wait for the perfect opportunity.
But now.
Suddenly knowing these news, her heart was a bit troubled.
Just like Liu Menglin said, such an outstanding man, even she was tempted, let alone other women?
But to take the initiative to confess her feelings, she still couldn’t do it!
The most crucial thing is, she thinks if she confesses now, it seems like she’s after his money.
Her heart is a mess!
