Chapter 57: The Billionaire

  This week, Zhou Hao was busy and fulfilling. Apart from going to school, he put all his energy into the fast food restaurant.

  After what happened before, Huo Liang clearly realized that Zhou Hao was not someone he could afford to mess with, so he immediately transferred the metal store in front of Yu Ning Middle School to Zhou Hao's name. He also gave Zhou Hao 100,000 yuan as a gift. Moreover, in order to please Zhou Hao, Huo Liang not only removed all the hardware materials from the store but also found a familiar decoration team to redecorate the store for free. When he learned that Zhou Hao was going to open a fast food restaurant, he even helped him get the kitchen utensils from a nearby fast food restaurant that was about to close down. These utensils were still very new and saved Zhou Hao a lot of trouble. Zhou Hao knew that Huo Liang was not a good person, so he didn't bother to be polite to him and just accepted his favors without gratitude.

  Zhou Hao did not plan to open a traditional domestic fast food restaurant that only provides convenience for customers, but from the beginning, he moved towards the style of Hong Kong-style fast food restaurants that would become popular later. Because in the past, when working, Zhou Hao often solved his hunger in those Hong Kong-style fast food restaurants, so he was very familiar with them and didn't need to start from scratch.

  In this week, the Industry and Commerce Bureau also quickly issued a business license for Zhou Hao's fast food restaurant. On one hand, it was due to Huo Liang's connections, on the other hand, the people at the Industry and Commerce Bureau knew that Zhou Hao had a close relationship with Si Tu Li and Gao Hou Zhuo, so they naturally gave him some preferential treatment.

  Those who don't know the way, Yan Tong's eyes see that their own fast food restaurant is so tense and rapid, and they repeatedly praised the relevant departments for their high efficiency. On the contrary, Lu Shi Peng knew that a general business license would take two or three months to be approved, let alone a catering license, so Lu Shi Peng was surprised and curious about Zhou Hao's ability in her heart.

  At the same time, Lu Shi-ping had already resigned from her job at the factory and actively recruited several young waiters for Zhou Hao. After Zhao Yu-qin learned that Zhou Hao was going to open a fast food restaurant, she brought in three skilled chefs to cook for Zhou Hao, in addition to five younger apprentices. In fact, for a fast food restaurant with relatively low requirements, Yan Tong and Lu Shi-ping's culinary skills were more than sufficient, but the kitchen of a fast food restaurant is not like household chores, the workload is extremely large, Zhou Hao couldn't bear to exhaust the two elders.

  As for the name of this restaurant, Zhou Hao decided to use "Zhou Tai Tai Restaurant", and even drew the logo himself. The logo is a cartoon version of Yan Tong, with a warm and friendly smile on her face, wearing an apron, and holding a spatula in her hand, both vivid and refreshing.

  Huo Liang introduced this decoration team, their work is not bad. Perhaps Huo Liang had given them a heads up in advance, they didn't dare to slack off at all, and worked very actively and diligently. Within a week, the decoration team was able to outline a Hong Kong-style fast food restaurant under Zhou Hao's guidance and requirements.

  The interior decoration of the store is mainly in beige, giving people a warm and cozy feeling. Zhou Hao also specially found someone to customize twenty sets of solid wood-colored tables and chairs, which are simple yet elegant. As for food, Hong Kong-style fast food restaurants' dishes are similar to those in mainland China. Moreover, one of the chefs brought by Zhao Yuqin had previously worked with Hong Kong people in Shenzhen and learned many Hong Kong-style fast food cooking methods, including the famous "milk tea". After Zhou Hao tried his "milk tea", he immediately said that this milk tea alone was enough to be the store's signature product.

  There are also procurement tasks such as food materials, which were handled by Yan Tong and Lu Shi Ping. Zhou Hao emphasized to them that they must pay attention to the hygiene and freshness of the ingredients, and after the opening, the dishes should also focus on health, because the health of catering will be more and more valued in the future. Zhou Hao wanted to grasp this well at the beginning of entrepreneurship and win a good reputation for future development.

  It was Sunday, and Yan Tong and Lu Shi Ping both went to the nearby vegetable market to find a suitable wholesale store. Zhou Hao also came to the store to check on the progress. Wang Xi Jun was at home reviewing the mock questions prepared by Zhou Hao for her, preparing for next summer's middle school entrance exam. Li Ruo Lan and other English teachers from the school were attending a teaching and research course at the Municipal Education Bureau, while Si Tu Jian Ying accompanied her mother to Guangzhou for a family visit. As a result, Zhou Hao, who was usually surrounded by many people, was alone today.

  Just as Zhou Hao was about to head home, he saw a familiar Mercedes-Benz sedan approaching from not far away, and through the windshield, he could see a glimpse of a beautiful woman inside.

  When the sedan stopped in front of the store, Zhou Hao had already walked over and opened the car door. Zhao Yuqin glanced at him lightly from inside and got out with his help, walking out like a noble queen.

  "Sister, I haven't seen you for days, and Xiao Hao has been thinking of you every day." Zhou Hao said tightly holding Zhao Yuqin's hand.

  Zhao Yaqin's heart was also soft, and she grasped Zhou Hao's hand, "Sister misses you too, isn't that why I came to invite you to have dinner with me?"

  Two people walked into the store, Zhao Yuqin looked at it and saw that it was almost decorated, so she smiled at Zhou Hao: "You've done a better job here than the restaurant outside, I really can't believe this is a fast food restaurant." Her impression of fast food restaurants was still stuck in the chaotic gathering place of migrant workers.

  "Sister, haven't you been to Hong Kong? Aren't their fast food restaurants all like this?" Zhou Hao said with a smile.

  Zhao Yuqin shook her head, "I go to Hong Kong for business, where do I have time to go to fast food restaurants? By the way, when are you planning to open?"

  "A week later." Zhou Hao said: "After my publicity, the schoolmates in the school all know that 'Mrs. Zhou's restaurant' is going to open, and those who have been tortured by the school cafeteria for a long time are eagerly waiting."

  "When the time comes, sister will definitely come to cheer you on."

  Zhou Hao saw that it was already dusk outside and he felt a bit hungry. He pinched Zhao Yuqin's palm, "Sister, where shall we go to eat?"

  Zhao Yuqin's palm was pinched by Zhou Hao, making her feel itchy and unable to help but glance at him with a hint of reproach. Seeing his exceptionally handsome face, especially those bright and spirited star-like eyes, she really wanted to hug him tightly and love him dearly, but since there were people around, she could only suppress this urge in her heart. She said: "Let's go to 'Kale's', I've booked a table there."

  "Carres" is the only Western restaurant in Xiangcheng, which has been settled in Xiangcheng for half a year. The environment is very good, but the consumption is also very expensive, and ordinary people will not come here. Although "Carres" is of high grade, it does not have independent boxes like other restaurants, but every table is separated by screens, in the dim light and soft music, these isolated tables become a small world for couples to whisper and talk about love.

  The waitress led Zhou Hao and Zhao Yuqin to a table by the floor-to-ceiling window. Since Zhao Yuqin had already ordered a couple's set meal in advance, the waitress poured two cups of coffee for them and said that the set meal would arrive soon, then left without disturbing the two.

  Without anyone else, the atmosphere immediately became ambiguous. Zhao Yuqin's gaze at Zhou Hao was also eager and tender, set against the hazy dusk outside, it revealed a bewildering and intoxicating charm. Zhou Hao couldn't help but grasp her hands that were placed on the table, without saying a word, he deeply gazed at her, exchanging with her in the same way.

  Suddenly, Zhou Hao felt an itch on his leg, as if something was teasing him. At the same time, he saw Zhao Yuqin's face becoming increasingly flushed, and immediately understood what it was, with a ripple of emotions rising in his heart.

  That was Zhao Yuqin's jade foot, Zhou Hao remembered that she was wearing a black suit skirt today, and her slender legs were wrapped in a thin layer of flesh-colored tights. At this moment, Zhao Yuqin was using the wrapped jade foot to tease Zhou Hao's leg.

  Gently, slowly, that kind of texture, Zhou Hao felt that Zhao Yuqin was not only teasing his legs, but also directly scratching his heart. His breathing also gradually became heavier, when Zhao Yuqin's jade foot moved to his knee, he suddenly stretched out his hand under the table and grasped Zhao Yuqin's jade foot, sandwiching it between his two legs, gently stroking it, and making her foot palm tightly pressed against his crotch.

  Zhao Yaqin was startled by Zhou Hao's sudden movement, and then she felt a warm sensation spreading from the soles of her feet. Although she had never been in a romantic relationship before, she was already very mature physically and mentally, and naturally knew what that warmth was, which made her face even redder. After trying to pull away several times without success, she glared at Zhou Hao with a hint of annoyance and muttered, "Little pervert."

  "Who started it first?" Zhou Hao smiled and said, his hands freely caressing her jade-like feet.

  Zhao Yuqin's feet were extremely beautiful, and they were also wrapped in a layer of smoothness that felt very comfortable to the touch. Zhou Hao didn't know who invented this first, but it was really too tempting for men. His hand slid up, although due to positional reasons he could only reach Zhao Yuqin's calf at most, but this was already enough for Zhou Hao to play with.

  Zhao Yuqin was also touched by Zhou Hao, especially the hot and swollen thing pressed against her foot, although it was separated by several layers of fabric, Zhao Yuqin could still feel its unusual size, thinking that this little scoundrel seemed to have not only grown taller but also developed in other places, as soon as she thought of this, she felt a tingling sensation, and even felt some wetness there.

  "Alright little devil, stop touching." Zhao Yuqin rubbed her legs together and whispered to Zhou Hao.

  Zhou Hao also saw the waiter walking this way at this time, so he let go of Zhao Yuqin's foot.

  Zhao Yuqin hastily adjusted the expression on her face, lest she be seen through, and asked Zhou Hao at the same time: "The day after tomorrow is December 10th, shouldn't you sell those stocks?"

  "Uh, it's time." Zhou Hao nodded, "After cashing out, how much money is it specifically?"

  Zhao Yaqin smiled and said, "The money you've been investing in batches, if you cash out now, should be worth over 70 or 80 million RMB. You're a genuine multimillionaire."
