Chapter 9, Receiving the Fortune-Filled Building
Liang Bing glanced at Dong Ge's corpulent figure and said: "You are one of my four top enforcers, so you should lose some weight. It's embarrassing to be bullied by a chef today and by a student tomorrow. If you don't feel ashamed, I feel embarrassed for you."
Lin Mu weighed the steel knife in his hand; it felt quite heavy. However, Lin Mu's subsequent actions nearly left Liang Bing in shock.
Lin Mu fearlessly got into the car with Liang Bing, while Fan Xiaoxiao and Yu Yaqing were just about to chase after them when they were stopped by two fierce-looking individuals.
Liang Bing looked at Lin Mu as if he were a monster, for this was forged from pure steel. Not only was it impossible to mold it into various shapes, but even attempting to break it would be out of the question
At seven thirty, the three individuals finished cleaning up the chaotic battlefield. Just as they were about to pack up, a series of explosive engine sounds echoed through the night sky
Lin Mu's smile is quite distinctive; at first glance, it may seem somewhat mischievous, but upon closer inspection, it evokes a sense of warmth and safety. Liang Bing, standing nearby, was also momentarily taken aback.
Yu Yaqing looked at the two brothers in front of her, feeling somewhat perplexed. Although she knew that Lin Mu was formidable, it couldn't be to such an extent, could it? Just by casually going out for a stroll, he had prompted them to come to her door to apologize.
Dong Ge, noticing that Ya Qing did not respond, quickly took out a contract and said: "Boss Yu, this is the transfer agreement for Fu Man Lou. We have already drafted it for you. Please take a look, and if there are no issues, just sign it."
The crowd had gathered almost completely when Liang Bing took out a slender cigarette. Dong Ge, standing beside him, immediately pulled out a lighter and carefully lit it for him
Lin Mu casually picked up Liang Bing's knife, and before he knew it, it was in his hand. This caused a moment of tension for the two people driving in front, but Liang Bing, being both skilled and bold, signaled to the two in front to remain calm, as he too wanted to see what abilities Lin Mu possessed
Liang Bing, filled with rage, laughed instead. After so many years in the industry, no one had ever spoken to him like this: "Do you know who I am?"
Dong Ge, with a face glistening with oil, said: "Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!"
Lin Midao: "I reasoned with them, and they acknowledged their fault, so they brought me back."
In fact, Yu Qinqing did not wait until tomorrow at all; the owner of Fumanlou and Dong Ge took the initiative to come to her door.
Lin Mu and Liang Bing returned to the restaurant, and Dong Ge stared in astonishment, asking: "Elder brother, what is this..."
Because he saw Liang Bing jog down from the car, and then quickly come to the other side of the car, actively opening the door for Lin Mu
Both Yu Yaqing and Fan Xiaoxiao were slightly taken aback upon seeing such a convoy
Lin Mu did not expect Liang Bing to be so resolute, and was slightly taken aback. However, Lin Mu truly had no interest in joining the underworld. Lin Mu said: "I am not interested in taking on any younger brothers; you just need to take care of yourself in the future."
Upon hearing that Lin Mu would not pursue the matter, Liang Bing could not help but feel overjoyed, and quickly nodded, saying: "Rest assured, I will take care of the affairs of Fu Man Lou for you"
Liang Bing looked at Lin Mu with great interest, feeling that Lin Mu's calmness was somewhat unusual: "I am their leader."
Hearing Yu Yaqing's words, Lin Mu softly spoke: "Sister Qing, everyone is saying 60,000, you shouldn't disregard Dong Ge's good intentions."
Lin Mu turned his head and revealed a signature smile, saying, "Sister Qing, rest assured, I will be fine"
Lin Mu glanced at the opposite Fu Man Lou and said, "Sister Qing, you prepare, prepare; we will be ready to take over Fu Man Lou tomorrow."
Lin Mu stepped forward and stood opposite Liang Bing, saying: "It was me who hit the person, don't smash the guy who feeds me, I will go with you!"
Yu Yaqing does not think the price is high; rather, she believes it is too low. At the restaurant near the school gate, it is not priced at 120,000 to 130,000 per year, but rather at 100,000 for three years.
Upon hearing this word, the thugs who had followed Liang Bing came rushing in like fierce tigers, brandishing clubs and shouting that they were going to smash the store. Yu Qing and Fan Xiaoxiao were so frightened that they clung tightly to each other.
Liang Bing stared wide-eyed as he watched the steel knife rapidly deform in Lin Mu's hand, cold sweat trickling down his back
Hearing Lin Mu's words, Liang Bing inexplicably let out a sigh of relief. It was truly not easy to build such a large enterprise, and to say that she would really give it to Lin Mu, Liang Bing felt somewhat reluctant.
After returning the trees, Liang Bing respectfully led the group away from Yu Yaqing's small shop
Upon witnessing such a scene, any reasonable person would know that something is bound to go wrong, and everyone keeps their distance.
Although Lin Mu did not agree to take it upon himself, how could someone as extraordinary as Liang Bing let this opportunity slip by? He quickly took out his business card and said: "Brother Lin, this is my business card. In the future, if you need anything, just let me know. I, Liang Bing, will not hesitate to go through fire and water for you."
Liang Bing kept nodding and said: "I know! I know!"
Liang Bing stared at Lin Mu for a full minute, ultimately gritting his teeth and instructing the subordinate in front to stop the car, then ordered both of them to get out.
Hearing Yu Yaqing's surprised voice, Dong Ge's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said: "Boss Yu, the price is negotiable. If you think it's high, we can lower it again. How about 83,000 for three years?"
Observing the hurried Liang Bing and others, Yu Yaqing and Fan Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Mu in confusion and asked, "What on earth is going on? How did they let you go?"
Looking at the steel knife in his hand, which had already transformed into a spatula, Liang Bing indeed wanted to speak to someone, but there had to be someone who would believe him.
One could see Lin Mu casually kneading the steel knife crafted from high-quality steel in his hand, as if what he held was not a steel knife, but rather a piece of modeling clay
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Why do you two still hope that they won't bring me back!"
At 7 PM, Lin Mu finished preparing the last table of dishes. Those who were unwilling to leave, after throwing down their deposits, finally departed reluctantly.
What!" Ya Qing exclaimed, then said: "What on earth is going on with Lin Mu?"
Lin Mu shook his head and said, "I have no interest in knowing!"
Lin Mu nodded and said, "It's nothing, let's go back."
A Hummer and more than ten motorcycles roared up to the front of Yu Yaqing's small shop
Upon hearing Dong Ge's offer again, Yu Qinqing finally reacted. She glanced at Lin Mu, who was leisurely behind her, and said: "No need, just 100,000 for three years!"
Lin Mu is now regarded as a master in Liang Bing's heart, and Liang Bing dares not defy the expectations of a master
Lin Mu smiled mysteriously, then lowered his head and carried the stove and other items back into the room
Before Dong Ge could finish asking, Liang Bing glared over fiercely. If it weren't for Lin Mu's desire to keep his identity hidden, Liang Bing would have already slapped him.
Seeing Liang Bing speak so loyally, Lin Mu's anger diminished significantly. Lin Mu has always held a deep appreciation for those who value loyalty.
After the two of them got out of the car, Liang Bing gritted his teeth and said: "Today I admit defeat, you can deal with me as you wish, but please spare my subordinates"
Liang Bing's decision can be considered a bold gamble. From Lin Mu's performance, Liang Bing knows that Lin Mu is undoubtedly a legendary figure. Although following Lin Mu involves risks, if the gamble pays off, it could lead to a transformation from a mere fish to a dragon.
Dong Ge glanced at Lin Mu with a hint of fear on his face, then said to Ya Qing: "Yesterday, my brother and I were somewhat disrespectful, and we hope the boss can forgive us"
Lin Mu took Liang Bing's business card, glanced at it, and then put it into his pocket, saying: "Alright, now we can make it back."
At this moment, Yu Yaqing and Fan Xiaoxiao were also watching with their mouths agape, instantly captivated. They both wanted to know what had happened, how it was that after just one outing, Lin Mu had transformed into the big brother of the *illustrated* book.
Just when Yaqing and Fan Xiaoxiao were anxiously waiting, the Hummer returned.
Sitting in the car, Lin Mu looked at Liang Bing and said, "Are you their leader?"
After Lin Mu got into the vehicle with Liang Bing, the Hummer quickly started up, roaring as it drove away from Binhai University
Yu Yaqing said: "Of course not! But what on earth is going on?"
Hearing that his boss was willing to step in, Dong Ge was overjoyed. Others may not know how formidable his boss is, but Dong Ge is very well aware of it.
Dong Ge was able to see Lin Mu's masterpiece. At first, Dong Ge could hardly believe it, but upon seeing Liang Bing's expression, he ultimately chose to believe. Now, in his eyes, Lin Mu is a divine being, exalted and untouchable.
In three years, having occupied a significant advantage with 100,000, especially considering that Fumanlou is much larger than my own house in both location and size.
It is important to note that I have never done this kind of work myself; it has always been handled by my subordinates. However, at this moment, the renowned Liang Bing, who is well-known in the underworld, is acting as a subordinate to a chef.
Seeing that Yaqing remained silent, Dong Ge gritted his teeth and said: "Sixty-three thousand a year, and the tables and chairs inside are free for you."
Lin Midao: "I do not wish to put you in a difficult position either. In the future, please manage your subordinates well. Additionally, my boss's store is looking to expand, and the location of the restaurant across the street, Fumanlou, is quite favorable."
Since childhood, the boss has been learning martial arts from an old Taoist priest. His skills are nearly unmatched on the shores of Binhai, and he can easily handle two or three special forces soldiers without breaking a sweat
Fan Xiaoxiao and Yu Yaqing would certainly not believe Lin Mu's nonsense
As the car just started, Lin Mu suddenly recalled something and said: "I do not wish for others to know about today's events"
Exhaling a smoke ring, Liang Bing expressionlessly uttered a single word: "Smash!"
Lin Mu first removed the handle of the steel knife, then forcefully shaped the back of the steel knife into a cylindrical form. Next, he kneaded the front of the steel knife, and after flattening it, he looked at his creation. Lin Mu nodded and said to Liang Bing: "I don't know what it was just now, but now it is a spatula."
Liang Bing looked at Lin Mu, who had stepped forward, and couldn't help but nod, saying: "Good lad, you are quite a character. Since you are willing to take on this matter, then come with us!"
Upon seeing Dong Ge, Yu Yaqing's delicate face instantly lost all color.
Lin Mu watched Dong Ge, who was following Liang Bing with a servile demeanor, and immediately guessed who this person was. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, thinking: "I didn't go looking for you, yet you came to find me first, which conveniently saves me some trouble"
Lin Mu swaggered down from the car, while Liang Bing cautiously followed behind him, completely resembling a subordinate.
Upon hearing Lin Mu speak, Dong Ge quickly wiped away a cold sweat and said: "Yes! Yes! Boss Yu, please do not hesitate."
Liang Bing looked at Lin Mu, drenched in cold sweat, his heart filled with boundless fear. After so many years in the industry, Liang Bing had never been afraid before, but today he was truly terrified; this was simply not human.
Liang Bing picked up a steel knife from the back seat and said in a cold tone: "Do you know who it is? Do you understand the consequences of offending me?"
The frustration in Dong Ge's heart is palpable; if Lin Mu were an ordinary chef, would I be subjected to such bullying
Upon receiving the contract, Yu Yaqing glanced at it and was taken aback when she saw the transfer price: "100,000 for three years!"
Upon seeing the Hummer return, Dong Ge's face revealed a hint of smugness; however, before this smile could fully blossom, it transformed into surprise
Liang Bing looked at Lin Mu and gritted his teeth, saying: "Brother, I am willing to bring all my people with me to you"
Looking at the boss of Fumanlou, who resembled a zongzi, Fan Xiaoxiao felt a sense of relief in her heart
The Hummer stopped, and Liang Bing and Dong Ge got out of the vehicle
Lin Mu nodded and said, "My time is very precious; I still need to go back online later. Let's resolve any issues we have right now."
