The beautiful CEO's right-hand man

  Kobe often made bets with James when he was playing overseas.

  They never gamble with money, but rather on how to tease each other.

  Gao Fei's most miserable experience was when he was guarding the entire Xiao squad, watching a comrade known as "Big Gorilla" play video games.

  That time, he considered it a great humiliation, and finally found an opportunity to even the score: let Lao Hei ride a mother pig - although it was just symbolic, but after all, it was done.

  The two of them can even do something as shameless as that, what's the big deal about calling a strange girl "mom"?

  What's more, this girl is tall and slender, just her long legs alone are enough to make it worthwhile calling her mom.

  So, despite Mr. Gao's painful expression, he actually didn't care at all. He grabbed the girl's shoulder and shouted loudly: "Mom, where have you been all these years? I've finally found you!"

  "Hah! Haha!"

  James burst out laughing, and even Katarina clutched her stomach and doubled over.

  The girl who was looking at her phone was startled and quickly looked up: "Ah, who are you - eh, Gao Fei, is that you?"

  After shouting, Gaofei let go of the girl and was about to make a quick escape when he suddenly froze: "Ah, how could it be you?"

  The girl who was called "mom" by Gao Fei is none other than his first love, Mu Tianya.

  James stopped laughing and looked at them with interest: "Hey, it seems that shouting 'mom' this time wasn't wrong after all. You two know each other. Gaofei, come quickly and introduce me to this beauty."

  Gao Fei gave him a sideways glance, his face full of embarrassment: "Mu Tianya, sorry about this. Earlier I made a bet with this idiot and lost. According to our wager, whoever loses has to stop a girl and shout out that phrase. Don't mind it."

  Mu Tianya finally understood, covering her mouth and giggling, with tenderness in the corners of her eyebrows: "I don't mind, you can shout at me a couple more times. I won't mind either."

  "Mu Tianya? Is she the same Mu Tianya who once hurt you?"

  James pointed at Mu Tianya, his eyebrows furrowed and a hint of anger on his face.

  James is the high-flying brother who can talk about anything. He had heard him mention his painful first love before, and at that time, he comforted him, saying that when there was an opportunity, he would definitely help him vent his grievances.

  Never thought I'd run into Mu Tianya here today. James immediately remembered those words from back then.

  After hearing James say this, Mu Tianya's face suddenly darkened.

  Gao Fei pushed away James who was approaching: "Go, get out of the way, I'll handle it myself. First help me rent a house and then we'll talk."

  James was about to say something else when Katarina grabbed his hand: "James, let's go."

  James couldn't help it, but before leaving, he said coldly: "Gao Fei. I remember you Chinese have a proverb that says 'a good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already passed'!"

  Mu Tianya's face turned even uglier.

  After James and the others followed the landlord into the house, Gao Fei smiled and shrugged: "Don't mind him. He's always like that, but he's my best buddy abroad."

  "Hmm, I can tell he's your best buddy, otherwise you wouldn't be sharing past stories with him."

  Mu Tianya forced a smile and brushed a strand of hair behind his ear: "Gao Fei, what are you all doing?"

  "I'm here to look at houses."

  "Looking for a house? Are you going to rent here?"

  "Yes. It's basically all settled."

  "Is it that three-story commercial building?"

  Mu Tianya turned around and looked at him again, asking: "Do you plan on doing business?"

  "What do you think about opening a Western restaurant here?"

  "The location, position and shop are all good."

  Mu Tianya looked at it a few more times before saying, "However, if you want to open a Western restaurant here, you must surpass the one across the street in terms of grade."

  "Ah, you're right. I think so too. If we're going to open a Western restaurant, it's got to be the best in Ji'nan."

  Mu Tianya hesitated for a moment: "You... have the funds? Do you want me to invest in you? Don't worry, I'm just lending you the money, not taking any shares. And, for amounts under 300 million, there's no need to calculate interest."

  "Never mind, I've already solved the funding issue. Oh, by the way, why haven't you returned to Britain yet?"

  "I'll be leaving in two days."

  "Mu Tianya explained: "We and the Beishan Group, that is, your boss Shen, have partnered to prepare a horse racing project in the southern mountainous region. The project has now officially started, and we are preparing to go to the UK for a detailed inspection. Hmm, do you have time now? Let's find a place to sit down?"

  "I'm really busy, as you can see, I have to get going with the restaurant stuff."

  "Oh, okay then, when your restaurant opens, I'll definitely come and support you."

  "Hey, remember to bring more guests, I'll give you a kickback."

  "It's settled then."

  "Then you go ahead and take care of it."

  "Goodbye."

  Gao Fei nodded and was about to leave when Mu Tianya handed him a set of keys.

  Gao Fei Na Mu: "What does it mean?"

  "This is the key to my residence and car key, right here —"

  Mu Tianya hadn't finished speaking when Gao Fei shook his head: "Thanks for your kindness, but I really don't need it, goodbye."

  Watching the back of the figure quickly walking away, Mu Tianya's expression was melancholic, and he let out a low sigh.

  After finding a suitable location, Gao Fei had nothing to do because the subsequent matters, until the restaurant opened normally, would be operated by Mary's planning team.

  The day after tomorrow, Mr. and Mrs. James will take a plane back to Germany.

  According to the high-flying meaning, this afternoon and tomorrow, he wanted to accompany others to have a good time, but was rejected by James, with a simple reason: the couple is together and doesn't want a big light bulb hovering around.

  What an inhumane and abnormal guy! A dog bites Lu Dongbin!

  After scolding Lao Zhan for a sentence, Gao Fei returned to the hotel and fell asleep with his head covered.

  ……

  "It's really infuriating, how did he end up in cahoots with the Dayerman Light Group?"

  Shen Yinbing grasped the pen and scribbled a few strokes on the newspaper, instructing Heizi: "Heizi, go investigate immediately, find out what kind of relationship Gao Fei and that couple Katarina have!"

  Hei Zi let out a difficult smile and didn't dare say anything, only sneaking a glance at Yan Hong sitting on the sofa.

  Yan Hong said: "Director Shen, if Katrina and her husband are locals from Ji'nan, Heizi might still be able to do these things."

  Shen Yinbing ordered Hei Zi to thoroughly investigate Gao Fei and Katriona's relationship, but it was just a momentary anger.

  After hearing Yan Hong say this, she also calmed down and waved her hand wearily: "Heizi, you go out first."

  Hei Zi nodded and turned around to walk out of the office.

  "Director Shen, I'm increasingly feeling that Gao Fei is not a simple person."

  Yan Hong's face turned red as if she was deep in thought: "When I first met him, I thought he was just a smooth-talking, thick-skinned rogue. But our trip to the capital revealed another side of him. These past few days, I've been thinking that for someone like Gao Ya to submit to him, it can't be just because of his rogue tactics. There must be some advantages that we haven't seen or can't do."

  Shen Yinbing twirled her pen and murmured: "You're saying that he has many secrets hidden on him?"

  "It must be so."

  Yan Hong said: "Otherwise, why would the president of the world's top 500 German Light Group personally come to Ji'nan to cooperate with him in opening a restaurant? And most importantly. You say that Katrine called William, the president of the Aachen Group, to threaten you to back down for Gao Fei's sake. What does this prove? It can only prove that Gao Fei and Katrine have a deep relationship. This raises a question. If he has such powerful friends, why is he in his current state?"

  "Where is the child?"

  "Why?" Shen Yin Bing asked subconsciously.

  Yan Hong stood up and walked back and forth a few steps: "He may be hiding from someone, or he's tired of his old life."

  "It seems he's indeed not simple, with a big background."

  Yan Hong looked at Shen Yin Bing, opened her mouth, and hesitated to speak.

  Shen Yinbing said: "Hong Jie, say whatever you want to say."

  "Alright, I'll just say it directly then."

  Yan Hong nodded and bit her lip: "Xiao Bing, do you... like him?"

  Shen Yinbing was stunned, not noticing that Yan Hong had changed the way she addressed her. She smiled and said: "I like him? Hehe, Red Sister, why would you ask this? Do you think I'd like him? Moreover, he's so mysterious now, how could I possibly like someone with an unknown background?"

  Yan Hong didn't smile, but said seriously: "Xiao Bing, if you really like him, don't let him go. In our short lives, we will miss out on many things, such as business opportunities and the last bus home. But missing those things is nothing compared to missing a person you love. Because whether it's a business opportunity or a ride home, there's always tomorrow if you miss it, but once you miss the person you like, there's no second chance."

  Shen Yinbing looked at Yan Hong without saying a word.

  Yan Hong said in a low voice: "Xiao Bing, I can tell that you actually care about Gao Fei's..."

  Shen Yinbing hastily raised her hand, interrupting Yan Hong's words: "Hong Jie, don't say that anymore, how could I possibly care about him!"

  Yan Hong said bluntly, "Xiao Bing, don't deceive yourself. If you didn't care about him, you wouldn't go compete with him for that commercial building! If you didn't care about him, you wouldn't have Hei Zi investigate and tail him."

  "Me, me - Hong Jie, don't say it again!"

  Shen Yin's words were stuck in her throat, and with some annoyance, she threw the pen on the office desk just as the door was knocked.

  "Come in."

  The door opened and Xiao Song said at the entrance: "Director Shen, Mr. Jiao has arrived, he's in the reception room."

  Mr. Jiao is actually Jiao Enzuo, and Lin Shimmei of the Royal Western Restaurant are paternal first cousins, and can also be considered as Shen Yinbing's distant cousin.

  Shen Yinbing had often played with Lin Shimei and Jiao Enzuo since childhood, and their relationship was pretty good.

  However, as they grew older, Jiao Enzo went abroad during high school, Lin Shimei got married and started a family several years ago, and Shen Yinbing gradually lost contact with them.

  This time after Jiao Enzuo returned to the country, the two of them can be considered as old friends who haven't seen each other for many years. Getting together, having a meal, and accompanying Shen Yinbing to stroll around the street is also very normal.

  But Yan Hong felt it was abnormal because she could see from Jiao Enzuo's gaze towards Shen Yinbing that he had a crush on her.

  At this time, after hearing that he had arrived, his eyebrows furrowed and he said in a low voice: "Xiao Bing, you'd better not see him, because he has ideas about you."

  "Hasn't he seen me? Does he have ideas about me?"

  Shen Yinbing was stunned for a while, and then coldly laughed: "Hong Jie, I understand what you mean, but I think this is a good thing. He is much stronger than Gao Fei, what if I miss him?"
