Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 795 - 425 Unbeatable Calmness_1

A somewhat aged building, the first floor occupied by other storefronts, and on the second floor was the signboard that Yan Fei had become quite familiar with.

The sign read "Beef from Sancha River Morning Glory Pasture".

Despite having an impressive sign, compared to the huge TV screen around the corner, it looked somewhat shabby.

Only a small room on the first floor served as the storefront, with a sign written in both Chinese and English. A staircase was immediately visible upon entering, and no greeters were seen until the second floor, where two greeted them.

The restaurant didn’t really have a style per se, and although it looked a bit shabby, it gave out a clean, straightforward impression. However, Guo Xiaowu didn’t approve of the restaurant’s decor. He kept criticizing quietly, accusing Guo Jingya of being stingy and not even willing to spend on renovations.

Yan Fei, on the other hand, thought it was quite good. It wasn’t a very big restaurant to begin with, and if they overdid it with the decorations, they probably wouldn’t have room for as many tables to serve customers.

Although it was still early for meal times, there were already a few customers. They all seemed to be friends of Guo Jingya’s. Upon seeing her, they stood up and greeted Guo Jingya. There was a young girl who seemed to be quite bold, chatting with Guo Jingya while sneakily eyeing Yan Fei. It was as if with Guo Jingya’s subtle nod, the eyes of the young men and women looking at Yan Fei suddenly began to twinkle. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Guo Xiaowu was always ready to take a dig at his sister. "She must have sold you out. These people are her cronies, they are just here waiting for you to come and have a good look at you."

Luckily, while Guo Jingya’s friends maybe were a bit impolite with their attention, they behaved rather courteously in other respects.

It was only when everyone was seated around the table did Guo Jingya casually explain: "Don’t worry. They are just here to have a glance. We agreed before that you don’t like socializing and they won’t request introductions."

Am I a monkey at a zoo?

Yan Fei was expressionless, and at this moment, really couldn’t come up with a suitable reaction. This group of young people apparently had no plans of leaving before lunch, and even if he was turned in the opposite direction, he could still feel their stares on him. Luckily, one thing he had been good at since he was a kid was ignoring other people’s stares.

Guo Jingya was eagerly watching to see how uncomfortable Yan Fei would become. In her mind, despite how good Yan Xiaofei was, there was one thing about him that irked her. This man rarely displayed emotions like surprise, shock, alarm, or discomfort. If he happened to show some emotions, they seemed to pass very quickly. Apart from when he was with Xu Xiaoyan, he usually gave her a strange feeling that when in front of him, it was as if she was in front of a family elder.

Even though he was far younger, and less experienced than the elders in her family, to Guo Jingya, he possessed a quality that her family’s elders, particularly Guo Xiaowu and herself lacked -being cool-headed during emergencies.

Yan Fei certainly couldn’t match her impression of him if judged solely based on his typical behavior and some understanding of him. The impression he gave her was quite similar to the family’s pet tiger, usually lazing around, but once it was aroused, absolutely domineering. Sometimes, when interacting with him, she felt like she was dealing with a family elder, an elder who in Guo Jingya’s unwilling heart, was her father.

After her father’s semi-retirement, he remained the pillar of the Guo family. Outside, he led a top-tier family business in Hong Kong, while at home, at least in the eyes of Guo Jingya and her siblings, as long as they did not cross his bottom line, they could act spoiled, naughty, and play tricks in front of him – just like countless fathers around the world, he would always respond with a warm smile. Because in front of his children, he would always be that sheltering mountain blocking the wind and rain.

But once his bottom line was touched, say, when his children took advantage of the family conditions to do something unprincipled, he would lose his temper. Even the most successful elder brother of Guo Jingya would keep silent in such a situation.

Most of the time, he remained composed, able to think calmly even when faced with a major crisis. although Yan Fei couldn’t match this exactly, he often displayed a degree of calmness beyond his age, or his emotions came and left rapidly. Today, Guo Jingya teased him and while Guo Xiaowu was still grinding his teeth, Yan Fei looked like nothing happened.

Including right now, when several people were watching him, he remained unbothered. Guo Jingya also recalled that when he had seen his house, his restaurant, he would only express a few comments, then he would be content and exhibited no mood swings that an ordinary person would.

Guo Jingya was annoyed at this, couldn’t Yan Fei display some uneasiness or discomfort?

If someone maliciously plans a prank on another person and sees that the person does not even react a bit, it is undoubtedly frustrating. Guo Jingya was feeling this way, so she said to Nana in frustration: "Forget it, let’s not wait for the steak here. Let’s go back to the hotel for shark fin soup instead! Let’s get our work done in the afternoon and then continue to have fun. Sister Xiaoyan, let’s go ..."

Everyone was confused.

On the way back, The Fifth Young Master Guo, the usual chatterbox, was unusually quiet. Just as they were about to reach the hotel, he suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Master Yan, you’re really something."

Before Yan Fei could ask him anything, he went off on his own tangent. "That makes sense! No wonder the little miss always pranks me, I finally get it. Finally, I’ve figured out how to deal with her."

Yan Fei had no idea what he was talking about, but one thing was clear in his heart. Usually, when the little miss would play pranks in front of their elders, she, being the youngest girl in the family, would always be indulged.

It was tolerable once or twice, but with increasing frequency, she probably found her tricks less fulfilling. If it were the eldest brother, he would unflinchingly ignore or give no response to her pranks. That tactic would cause her to retreat in no time.

Only he would throw temper tantrums every time — exactly what she wanted, right? Watching that paparazzi getting ambushed made him incredibly gleeful. If the paparazzi didn’t have a reaction, would he still be happy? Of course not.

It was such a simple lesson, yet he didn’t get it until now. No wonder he was often referred to as ’the hopeless Guo Xiaowu’. Reflecting on it now, he realized they were right — he couldn’t even handle a little girl. What a failure!

Therefore, when they entered the hotel, The Fifth Young Master Guo felt enlightened. No matter what happened, like watching his little sister show Yan Fei the contract suddenly, signing and sealing it before promptly arranging a money transfer, he remained unfazed. Though he was aware that the contract implied that, in over two months, his sister’s new restaurant opening, coupled with the original one, could net her a pocket money of one to two million every month (net profit).

Miss Xu Xiaoyan was thrilled, and immediately transferred one and a half million for the signed contract. With the advance payment for the previous contract used up, she sent all the money at once — three million!

Even if the cattle farm repaid all the bank loans, they would not be short of funds.

Although Guo Jingya appeared calm, she was absolutely ecstatic. She loved the fact that Yan Fei was making money for her to spend, and instantly brushed off the resentment she felt on the road.

However, such a joyful event would be imperfect if not ’shared’. Thus, while munching on her lunch, her eyes darted about as she whispered to her brother, "Fifth Brother, why don’t you invest some money, and we can partner up and open another restaurant? I will give you pocket money."

The Fifth Young Master Guo leisurely ate his food, apparently undisturbed, "How much should I invest?"

Guo Jingya’s second restaurant was about to open, she had all the figures at her fingertips, "Depends on where you intend to open up. If in Hong Kong, three to five million is considered a small sum. It depends on how much you can offer. If in Shen City, all you need is one million. No matter where we open, we can split it forty-sixty — you forty, I sixty. Now, don’t complain that it’s unfair. Even if you get forty percent of the profit, it’ll be several hundred thousand a month, enough for you."

"If I provide all that money, then you’re not contributing at all? And you still want sixty percent — you treating me like a dupe?" The Fifth Young Master Guo said lightly, "You just started in business, and already practicing deceit?"

Untaken aback, Guo Jingya retorted, "Although I’m not contributing money, I have an experienced operations team, a mature business plan, and a steady supply channel. Don’t these count for something? You need to understand that I am making you money, get it?"

Seeing his sister’s arrogance, the Fifth Young Master Guo composed himself, repeating ’calm down, calm down’ in his heart, and then said calmly, "I don’t need it, I’ll find my own way. You should also take care of yourself. The shop in Shen City hasn’t officially launched yet, the consumer behavior there isn’t the same as here. We are not sure whether it will make a profit, I advise you not to overstate things."

"Argh... I can’t eat anymore!" Unable to take the hits, Guo Jingya finally blew her top, her recent good mood vanished, "Guo Xiaowu, when did you learn the eldest brother’s trick? You weren’t like this before!"

Indeed, did you think I should have begged you shamelessly, haggled over the price, and given you the money, and in the future depended on you to get some pocket money? Sorry, little sister, the old Guo Xiaowu is long gone. The present Guo Xiaowu is now enlightened.

As expected, seeing his cool demeanor, Guo Jingya became more impatient and let out a yowl, then, full of fury, she turned to discuss with Xu Xiaoyan where they should go next.

Guo Xiaowu, suppressing his feeling of triumph, glanced carelessly at Yan Fei, who was now watching television. In his heart, he was secretly delighted, "Master Yan, from now on, you are my mentor."

Yan Fei pondered over the three million he had just received, and how and where he should spend it. Little did he know that soon, a matter that would make him genuinely furious beyond measure was about to happen over at the Sancha River...
