Chapter 612: Cooperation
Hearing Gu Chaoyan’s questions Manager Song said, “Well, Prince Muyi came to me yesterday, saying that they would like to sell our brand dish, namely the hot-pot, in the Feather Mulberry Land as well. But I am not in a position to make the decision, so I brought him here to ask you about this.”
Yellow Crane was doing very well recently. It was even more flourishing than Restaurant Jixian was when it was at the highest peak.
Manager Song had a high expectation of it. He did expect to expand the business so the restaurant could be opened in some other places. He had been thinking about opening a branch in the South by the end of the year, but if the restaurant could be opened in the Feather Mulberry Land, then that would be much better than he hoped!
Hearing Manager Song’s brief recount, Gu Chaoyan more or less understood.
She was quite surprised, actually. When she heard the Imperial Master talking about wine, she had thought that people from the Feather Mulberry Land were all dumb in regards to business, but it seemed that Prince Muyi did have some ideas.
It took him no more than one day to think of hot-pot as a business, when he lost hope with the wine.
He was smart. In that case, she would be willing to cooperate with him. She could earn a portion by helping others.
She threw a look at Muyi, then she asked. “Prince Muyi, what is your plan?”
When asked suddenly, Prince Muyi got quite nervous.
Lady Chaoyan must be younger than he was, but she had an imposing air. That made Prince Muyi feel guilty – he was the Prince, the Elder Prince of the Feather Mulberry Land, and he was not even as imposing as a young girl.
He gave a light cough, adjusting himself emotionally. Then he said seriously, “The Feather Mulberry Land is not as flourishing as the Saint Divine Land, yet it is not tiny either. We have 15 cities and I believe that we can open one restaurant like Yellow Crane in one city, probably not as grand, yet still properly-looking.”
“I have some money remaining at the mansion as the Prince, and I also have savings from my father’s grants. I am rich enough to open 15 restaurants like this, so I would like to know if you are willing to cooperate with me.” Muyi said sincerely.
As long as Lady Chaoyan was willing to do that, he did not necessarily have to make that much money, he could spare the larger portion for Lady Chaoyan instead.
“Lady Chaoyan, Prince Muyi does have abundant money and he is straightforward. So he won’t make you lose.” The Imperial Master added, as he sized up Gu Chaoyan while talking.
Gu Chaoyan did not like the way the Imperial Master looked at her. She had no idea how an honest man like Prince Muyi would end up hanging out with him. He was such a drag.
However, Gu Chaoyan would not vent her anger on Prince Muyi no matter how much she disliked the Imperial Master.
She knocked on the table.
“I can cooperate with you and tell you how to make the brand-dish of Yellow Crane, and I can even help you train the best chefs for you, but that is all I can do.”
Before she was able to finish her words, the Imperial Master cheered. “That is already enough!”
He could make use of Lady Chaoyan and when they were capable of doing the dish alone, they could simply get rid of Lady Chaoyan.
The Imperial Master was thinking inwardly and making a plan for his own interest – the Feather Mulberry Land was very far from them, and they did not have to give them a hard time if they came to ask for justice. Lady Chaoyan was not from the royal family, so there was nothing for them to fear.
Gu Chaoyan glanced at the Imperial Master and said as she ignored him, “However…”
