Chapter 652: Chapter 652: You’re Very Upfront, I’m Going to Invest in You

CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!

Cheng Yuan was remarkably efficient. In less than twenty minutes, he had polished off a king crab.

Cheng Yuan glanced at his watch and couldn’t help but frown. ’I have to speed up!’

CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!

Fifteen minutes later, the second king crab was in his stomach.

The server bringing food to Cheng Yuan’s room spread the word about their bizarre customer.

Outside the private room, a number of staff members had gathered to watch this ’oddball,’ Cheng Yuan.

At first, they all thought there was no way Cheng Yuan could finish, and they waited to see him make a fool of himself.

But Cheng Yuan just ate faster and faster!

By the time he got to the third king crab, it only took him ten minutes!

This stunned all the staff members!

’This guest ate an eight-pound-plus king crab in ten minutes?’

’How crazy is that?’

’If it were us, we probably couldn’t even finish one of the legs.’

Only now did Cheng Yuan feel a little full.

Cheng Yuan rubbed his round, bulging belly and let out a hearty burp.

The staff outside immediately started laughing.

’He can’t eat anymore, can he?’

’Let’s see what you do now!’

Cheng Yuan’s senses were incredibly sharp, and he clearly heard the staff laughing.

A slight smile touched Cheng Yuan’s lips. ’You won’t be laughing for long!’

Cheng Yuan activated the Celestial Witch Heart Method, pushing his digestive system to its limits!

The efficiency of Cheng Yuan’s digestive system instantly increased by more than ten times!

In less than two minutes, Cheng Yuan went from feeling eighty percent full to feeling a bit hungry again.

Cheng Yuan eagerly grabbed an arm-length lobster and took a huge bite!

CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!

In less than five minutes, the eight-pound lobster was completely devoured by Cheng Yuan!

The staff outside were collectively speechless!

They were all petrified!

Even Lin Ruoxi covered her mouth, her face a mask of astonishment!

’My husband has such a huge appetite!’

’No wonder he has so much stamina...’

In less than fifteen minutes, three Boston lobsters were picked clean!

The staff outside were starting to question reality itself!

’Is that handsome guy inside really human?’

’Are you sure he’s not some prehistoric beast?’

The server in charge of Cheng Yuan’s table rushed to the boss’s office and knocked frantically. "Boss, this is bad! Something terrible has happened!"

The boss wasn’t flustered at all. He asked calmly, "Is there a lot left over? Don’t worry, proceed according to plan! When you film the video, make sure you demand they pay for everything. After you get the video, we can let them off the hook this one time. As for the leftover ingredients, if no one minds, we can all have them as an extra treat tonight."

The staff member’s expression turned strange.

"No... Boss, he ate all the king crabs and Boston lobsters! At first, it took him twenty minutes per king crab, but he got faster and faster. The last one only took him ten minutes! The lobsters were even more ridiculous! Less than five minutes for each one! I don’t think we can film that video! The original plan was to teach the guests at table 15 a lesson, but in the end, we’re the ones who got taught a good lesson!"

The boss’s mouth twitched, his mind a flurry of questions.

’Who am I?’

’Where am I?’

’What did I just hear?’

"Is what you’re saying true?"

"How would I dare lie! Lots of people saw it! If you don’t believe me, Boss, you can go and see for yourself!"

The boss couldn’t sit still. He followed the staff member and hurried to Cheng Yuan’s private room.

He arrived just in time to see Cheng Yuan devouring the last blue lobster!

SCARF! SCARF! SCARF!

Six bites!

It only took six bites!

Cheng Yuan had polished off a four-to-five-pound blue lobster!

Cold sweat beaded on the boss’s back as a chill shot up his spine to the top of his head!

’My God!’

’How can there be someone in this world who can eat so much?’

’If all my customers were like this, I’d have to close down the restaurant!’

The boss knocked lightly on the door.

Cheng Yuan said in a pleasant voice, "Come in."

"Mr. Cheng, hello. I’m the owner of this restaurant. You’ve really taught me a lesson today! You alone are worth three Hua Pangs and four Chen Suibians combined!"

Cheng Yuan scratched his head, a bit embarrassed. ’I was kind of cheating,’ he thought. ’My real capacity is three king crabs at most.’

Cheng Yuan stood up and shook hands with the owner.

"Boss, you’re a class act! I like straightforward people like you! Also, your ingredients are excellent! Very fresh! I’ve decided to invest in you! We’ll open Crab Feast Oceanview Restaurants all over Dragon Country!"

The owner’s face instantly flushed red, and he was so excited he nearly leaped into the air!

’I thought I was the one getting schooled today.’

’And in the blink of an eye, it’s become my big break?’

’The wild ups and downs of life are just too thrilling!’

"Mr. Cheng, no, Boss Cheng! Gai is humbled! Truly humbled! Please, rest assured! Gai will be sure to manage all the stores well! I will absolutely not let you lose money!"

Cheng Yuan grinned. "Whether we lose money isn’t important! What’s important is that all the branches follow the rules like the main one. We have to make sure the customers eat well!"

President Gai’s expression turned solemn. "Rest assured, I will stick to my original principles!"

Cheng Yuan grinned. "President Gai, I believe you."

As he spoke, Cheng Yuan subtly withdrew his hand.

President Gai asked, a little embarrassed, "Boss Cheng, may I be so bold as to ask, how many branches are you planning to invest in?"

In President Gai’s mind, Cheng Yuan would invest in 34 branches at most, just enough to have one in each major administrative district.

However, President Gai had underestimated Cheng Yuan’s vision and ambition.

Cheng Yuan said lightly, "A restaurant this good deserves to be in every prefecture-level city!"

WHIRRR!!

President Gai’s mind almost exploded!

’One in every prefecture-level city?’

’Holy shit!’

’There are nearly three hundred prefecture-level cities in all of Dragon Country!’

’Each branch needs an investment of at least eight million... how much is that in total?’

President Gai felt his math skills failing him; he couldn’t even begin to calculate it!

President Gai asked in a trembling voice, "B-Boss Cheng, you... you’re not joking with me, are you? A single branch costs at least eight million, and you really want to invest in over three hundred?"

Cheng Yuan counted on his fingers and said lightly, "It’s not that expensive. It’s only 2.4 billion."

’"Only"... 2.4 billion?’

President Gai’s mouth twitched nonstop, and the staff outside were so scared they didn’t even dare to breathe!

’Holy shit!’

’To this Mr. Cheng, 2.4 billion sounds like twenty-four bucks.’

’If you’re that rich, did you really have to eat like your life depended on it just now?’

President Gai asked cautiously, "Boss Cheng, are you sure you’re not pulling my leg?"

Cheng Yuan glared. "Why would I pull your leg? I’ll have Old Tang get in touch with you. Honey, let’s go see the cherry blossoms!"

Saying this, Cheng Yuan took Lin Ruoxi’s hand and walked out of the restaurant under everyone’s gaze.

Watching their figures recede into the distance, President Gai gave a bitter smile. ’What am I getting so excited for?’

’There’s no such thing as a free lunch!’

’Who would be willing to just hand over 2.4 billion for an investment?’

’That Mr. Cheng was probably just showing off. I shouldn’t get my hopes up about the investment.’

President Gai quickly composed himself and returned to his office.

He had just sat down when his phone suddenly rang.

President Gai pulled out his phone, and his expression changed dramatically! He shot to his feet!

’Tang Sihai?’

’That’s the richest man in Qingcheng!’

’Why would he suddenly be calling me?’
