The beautiful CEO's right-hand man
That night, after being inspired by Jie Hongyan, Gao Fei thought of James.
James was hired as a mercenary several years before Highflyer, and the guy relied on his seniority to bully every new member who entered the "Sniper" squad.
Gao Fei is no exception.
Now Gao Fei still remembers that on the first day he joined the "Sniper" team, he had a fight with James.
Physically robust and with rich combat experience, the ferocious James didn't think much of Highfly.
It wasn't until he was knocked down for the ninth time that he finally realized he couldn't keep going.
But since then, the two have become good friends, and it can be said that they didn't know each other until they fought.
James joined the Foreign Legion a few years before Gaultier and left a year earlier because he fell in love with a German girl.
A wealthy German girl didn't need him to survive and he was tired of his mercenary career, determined to live a normal life.
As for that German girl James knew little about her except that the world-renowned "Deutschland Licht" restaurant was owned by her family.
Since his buddy's wife is a master of Western cuisine, Gao Fei wants to get into the business but doesn't tell them. James will definitely be unhappy when he finds out later and might even cry and say that he looks down on him.
Mr. Gao is not that kind of person who looks down on others, after using a few days to investigate all the Western restaurants in Ji'nan, he called James.
"Wow, sometimes I really envy Lao Hei. You say with his dark and gloomy appearance, how could he possibly marry a beautiful white woman? Hmm, that girl must have been subdued by his big black gun. Haha, is it too evil to think this way, bro?"
The evil smiled and ate a bellyful of foie gras and caviar, then slowly walked down the steps of the 'Royal Western Restaurant'.
There are not many Western restaurants in Southern Hebei, on the one hand, it is because consumption is too high. The main aspect is that the grade of Western restaurants is not high enough, and rich people are not willing to come here to eat.
To put it bluntly, these Western restaurants are second-rate goods. Compared to authentic Western restaurants, they differ by more than one level. Even if they try their best, they can't catch up with the glory of Germany.
If you don't do it, then don't do it; if you do it, then do it best. This can be considered as Gao Fei's motto.
Of course, as Jie Hongyan said, if Gao Fei wants to make more than 30 million, he should open a high-end Western restaurant. That's no different from a fool's daydream.
Kobe doesn't care about financial issues: with James around, are you afraid of not being able to open a restaurant?
Don't forget that guy is now dating a billionaire heiress.
"What should I name my restaurant when I open it in the future?"
Gao Fei turned his head to glance at the golden sign of the Royal Western Restaurant, pondered for a moment: "Whatever it is, it's gotta be more awesome than this place. How about Elizabeth II? Great Britain? Or the Empire Where the Sun Never Sets——hey, got it! Let's call it 'Sunset Western Restaurant'! Sunset. Sunset means the sky turns dark, and young people love darkness, right? Brother's imagination is too damn rich!"
After praising himself a few times, Gao Fei started worrying about choosing a location again.
Everyone knows that now is the era of information explosion, and the good wine is not afraid of the deep alley has long passed. If you want to open a restaurant in Ji'nan, location is key.
Don't look at Ji'nan as the provincial capital of Shandong Province, but in fact there are many prosperous streets. The pedestrian street adjacent to Quancheng Square is a place where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold.
The Royal Western Restaurant is located right here.
Looking at the fully seated Royal Western Restaurant, Gao Fei seemed to see Kong Fang's brother waving at him - so he patted his head and decided to open the future Sunset Western Restaurant on Pedestrian Street, right across from the Royal Western Restaurant!
He had already set his sights on it, diagonally across from the Royal Western Restaurant was a three-story commercial building with an area of hundreds of square meters, and on the large glass window was posted "Ji Building for Rent".
Gao Fei was absolutely confident that as long as the Sunset Western Restaurant settled here, relying on its high-end level, it would soon be able to squeeze out the Royal Western Restaurant.
"Well, no time to lose, this thing has got to get moving soon!"
Gao Fei made a decision on the spur of the moment and excitedly dialed James' phone number, tactfully mentioning the issue of funds to him.
Gao Fei knew that James would definitely agree, and he would also take the opportunity to mock him, saying something like "You regard money as worthless, why don't you have money to open a restaurant?"
To his surprise, James agreed readily and promised to arrive in Jishan tomorrow afternoon for a talk.
"Everything is ready, only lacking blacks!"
After hanging up the phone, Gao Fei snapped his fingers and walked east with his left hand in his pants pocket.
It's still early in the evening, he wants to find a quiet place to brew a pot of top-grade Tieguanyin and think about the specifics of opening a restaurant, such as hiring staff.
"Uncle, why don't you buy a bouquet of flowers for your girlfriend?"
Gao Fei had just taken two steps when a girl carrying a flower basket blocked his way.
The girl looked delicate, wearing a white blouse and blue skirt, not tall, at most about 1.4 meters, slender figure, thin cheeks, with two fine braids on her head, looking like she was underdeveloped or had some kind of illness, especially those slightly sunken eyes, filled with a heartbreaking sense of confusion and pleading.
Judging from her attire, she should be a junior high school student who came out to work during summer vacation.
Gao Fei smiled and subconsciously reached out to touch the girl's head: "I don't have a girlfriend."
"Oh."
The girl let out a disappointed "oh" and didn't notice Gaofei not buying her flowers, instead she bowed to him first before dodging to the side: "Sorry to disturb you, uncle."
The girl was about to leave when Gao Fei stretched out his hand to stop her: "Can I buy a bunch of flowers for myself? Because I'm very happy today."
"Alright!"
The girl jumped up and down, revealing her lively personality that matched her age: "I'll pick a nice rose for you, wishing you an early find of your favorite girlfriend!"
The girl took out what she thought was the best red rose from the flower basket and handed it to Gao Fei: "Uncle, ten yuan."
Gao Fei pulled out a 100-yuan bill and put it in the flower basket.
"Please wait for 90 seconds."
The girl quickly opened her purse and was about to find some change when Gao Fei shook his head: "Uncle, I'm in a good mood today, consider the rest as your tip."
Mr. Gao, who has a lot of money, can't wait to throw it around on the street and see others kneeling down to shout "Long live" for him, and give girls tens of dollars as tips. It's a very normal thing.
But unexpectedly, the girl who should have been short of money shook her head and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, uncle. I never accept tips."
Gao Fei didn't persist because he saw that the girl had her own principles and self-respect.
The girl turned out 90 yuan, but then took out a flower and handed it to Gao Fei together: "Uncle, in order to thank you for your kindness, I decided to represent your future girlfriend to give you a flower, please don't decline!"
"Hehe, then thank you."
Gao Fei had never met such a lovely little flower girl before. He took the flowers and asked casually, "Little sister, what's your name?"
The girl didn't expect Gao Fei to ask her name, and she was taken aback for a moment before smiling shyly and saying in a low voice: "My name is Wang Xiaozhuang."
Gao Fei repeated: "Wang Xiaozhuang? Is it 'zhuang' as in makeup? Hmm, this name is quite unique."
Wang Xiao Zhuang shook his head: "It's not 'zhuāng' as in makeup, but 'zhuàng' as in sturdy."
Gao Fei was taken aback: "Oh, it's Wang Xiaozhuang. Alright, your parents really know how to name you..."
Character.
Wang Xiao Zhuang lowered his long eyelashes and said in a low voice, "I've been in poor health since I was young. My father hopes that I can grow up to be tall and strong."
"Oh, I see! Good name. Uncle wishes you a strong and tall growth in the future!"
Gao Fei smiled and patted the little girl's head again.
"Uncle, goodbye!"
Wang Xiaozhuang waved his hand and walked away in the direction behind him with a flower basket slung over his shoulder.
After getting in touch with James, deciding to open a restaurant, and running into Wang Xiaozhuang who was not feeling well physically, Gao Fei felt that he was absolutely the happiest person in the world, and even felt that the sky above Jizhou was shrouded in loving auspicious clouds.
"Oh no!"
Just as Gao Fei raised his head to look at the sky and enjoy life, a scream came from behind.
He turned his head and saw an electric scooter knock down a girl.
The girl who was knocked down was Wang Xiaozhuang, who had just wished Gao Fei to find a girlfriend.
Wang Xiaozhuang was knocked to the ground by an electric scooter, and the flower basket also rolled to one side, with all the fresh flowers spilling out.
The woman riding the electric bike was young, fashionably dressed and very pretty. The legs that straddled the vehicle to keep it balanced were white and smooth, quite attractive.
On the pedestrian street, people were packed like a tapestry. After seeing Wang Xiao Zhuang being hit by a car, someone quickly gathered around.
Luckily this is a pedestrian street and non-motorized vehicles are not allowed to pass through, otherwise Wang Xiaozhuang would definitely be injured.
But even so, after she fell to the ground, her knees were still scraped and bleeding.
But Wang Xiao Zhuang didn't mind, he quickly got up and instead of picking up the flower basket, he bowed repeatedly to the woman on the bicycle: "Sorry, auntie, it's my fault, I wasn't paying attention and blocked your way."
This kid is too kind-hearted, if it were me, I wouldn't care who was right or wrong, I would have already fallen to the ground, hugging my legs and crying out loud, and then extorted money from that woman - this is what many passersby think, including Gao Fei.
What everyone didn't expect was that after the woman who collided with Xiaozhuang on her electric bike got off, she not only didn't check Xiaozhuang's injuries but instead pushed her bike to the ground and scolded her with one hand on her waist: "Is saying sorry enough? Are you blind? Do you know how close I was to being scared to death? A stinky flower seller running wildly in the street, isn't this intentionally damaging the cityscape of Ji'nan?"
Wang Xiaozhuang did not expect the woman to react this way either, and was so frightened that he hastily retreated two steps, repeatedly saying sorry.
"You scared me to death! You blinded me!"
The woman yelled and lifted her right foot wearing sexy high heels, heavily trampling the fresh flowers scattered on the road.
Trampled a few more and still didn't feel relieved, so I bent down and poured out all the flowers in the basket, then stomped my feet fiercely!
"Auntie, don't, don't step on my flowers!"
Wang Xiao Zhuang was shocked and rushed up to grab the woman's hand, crying out: "Auntie, don't trample my flowers!"
"Get out!"
The woman violently pushed with all her might, and Wang Xiao Zhuang heavily fell onto the road surface.
"How dare these stinky bitches be so arrogant!"
Gao Fei was furious at the sight, and he reached out to pull away a bystander who was watching the commotion. Just as he was about to intervene on behalf of Wang Xiao Zhuang, someone else rushed forward, bent down to help Wang up, and turned to shout at the woman, "Stop right there!"
