Chapter 55: Franchise
The next day at noon, under the bright sun, a group of restaurant owners gathered in front of the Moonlit Pavilion. When they saw the long line in front of them, they couldn’t help but show expressions of shock and envy. Comparing it to the situation of their own restaurants, they couldn’t help but sigh.
Peng, the manager, greeted them with a smile when he saw the crowd, “I’ve been waiting for you all. Please follow me.”
The group walked towards the private room of the Moonlit Pavilion. On the way, someone couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, “What method did Brother Qin use? How did he revive the Moonlit Pavilion? There’s a steady stream of customers. Back then, he even asked us for advice on how to run a restaurant.”
Others agreed.
The “Brother Qin” they were referring to was not Qin Feng, but Qin Jian’an. Due to the unethical practices of the city lord’s mansion, the living conditions for small eateries had deteriorated. They were struggling to make ends meet, so they were unaware that the Moonlit Pavilion had changed hands.
From their impression, Qin Jian’an was known for his extravagant spending and was considered a fool. How could he possess such magical means?
Peng Qing smiled and remained silent, giving them a riddle: “Wait until you meet the young master, and everything will be clear.”
“Young master?” Everyone looked at each other, their curiosity piqued.
When they opened the door to the private room, the restaurant owners were surprised. There were only two people inside, and Qin Jian’an was not one of them.
