Chapter 974 - 924: Playing the Good Guy for Once!

"Um, Mr. Qin, may I ask you a question?"

As the atmosphere grew more awkward and strange.

The newly appointed Forbidden member, Chang Haisheng, cleared his throat and spoke.

They were eating there.

While dozens of people on the side eyed them with envy.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable in this situation.

"Sure, go ahead!" Chewing on the meat, Qin Fan said with a smile.

"Mr. Qin, I wonder what the positioning of Cangqiong Restaurant is? Will the menu always feature what we are eating now?" Chang Haisheng asked.

Chang Haisheng’s voice was not small.

The nearby tycoons and big shots of Four-nine City all heard it.

Everyone held their breath and perked their ears up.

This answer was what they wanted to know since the first bite.

But no one dared to ask aloud.

"Positioning? Haha, what’s there to position? As a businessman, it’s natural to be profit-driven, so what other positioning could there be besides money? As for the menu, yes, it will mainly consist of these, and this is just a small part! If you want to taste everything, it would cost at least a million! I know what you’re all concerned about, alright- I won’t beat around the bush, I’ll get straight to the point! Starting tomorrow, it officially opens for business, three dishes and a soup is the standard set meal! A hundred thousand per meal, if you don’t want this standard set meal or want to add dishes to it, there’s no threshold nor limit, a unified price, a hundred thousand per serving! You’re welcome to come and spend generously, but let me warn you beforehand, we don’t play those signing deals! You’d better make this clear to your subordinates as well; showing off here is like swearing at Yama Hall! Don’t put a hat of challenging legal authority on me then!"

Qin Fan’s voice was equally loud.

The narrative carried a boundless sense of arrogance.

He didn’t care about Wang Anshi and others’ status at all.

"A hundred thousand for a standard meal of three dishes and a soup? An extra hundred thousand per additional dish?"

Before Chang Haisheng could respond, another Forbidden member couldn’t help shouting.

"Is it expensive?" Qin Fan playfully asked with a look of amusement.

Expensive?

Damn!

It’s not just expensive!

A millionaire would go bankrupt after a few meals.

A multimillionaire would have to return to square one after hosting a banquet.

Even a billionaire couldn’t withstand such extravagance!

This is the epitome of a money trap!

From now on, determining whether someone is a spendthrift or a tycoon can be seen from how often and lavishly they spend at Cangqiong Restaurant.

It’s outdated to flaunt wealth by buying houses and cars as they can retain or even increase in value!

What truly counts as splurging is consuming something that is soon digested!

Yet, as Qin Fan’s voice rang out.

The Forbidden members and the Wang Anshi couple fell silent.

Their identities made it hard for them to respond.

With a playful smile.

Qin Fan turned to look at the Four-nine City big shots watching intently, "Is it expensive?"

Heh heh-

Heh heh heh-

Heh heh heh heh-

Even someone like Comrade Wang didn’t dare to answer; how could they dare to respond directly?

They could only respond with dry, awkward laughter.

"Mr. Qin, it’s alright, it’s alright! We can afford it, we’re actually quite eager! Haha-!"

Before Qin Fan could look at those super-rich individuals.

Some of the business tycoons worth tens or hundreds of billions couldn’t help but speak out.

Shaking his head.

He remained noncommittal about these wealthy voices of anticipation.

Qin Fan turned back around.

Looking at Comrade Wang, he said, "Old Wang, do you think I’ve provided a platform for anti-corruption?"

"Mr. Qin, you’re putting me in a tough spot to answer that!" Wang Anshi smiled wryly.

"Alright, whether you answer or not doesn’t matter! But let me give you a heads-up, no matter what, remember not to cause trouble here! As long as you’re in Cangqiong, no one can cause a scene, and also—don’t set your sights on Cangqiong Restaurant, once it opens, it will strive to ensure absolute privacy and confidentiality for all consumers! So don’t worry, what comes from the people goes to the people, I know many people fill their wallets by exploiting others, but that’s none of my business, and moreover—spending at Cangqiong means you’re being philanthropic patrons! I promise, my profits from Cangqiong will be donated unconditionally, my parents will set up a charity foundation under the No.1 Group’s name, and my personal profits from Cangqiong will be fully donated!"

Qin Fan said this casually with a smile.

Even when talking about charity, he was so nonchalant.

However, as soon as these words were out.

The whole place was shocked!

All profits from shares would be donated to charity?

What astronomical amount would that be?

Even taking a step back, if Qin Fan only held ten percent, the profits would still be incalculable!

Is it likely only ten percent?

In an instant.

The dignitaries were dumbstruck.

The Four-nine City titans were bewildered.

Li Qiuzhe and others were stunned with envy and pain.

Even Old Lady Jiang and the Jiang couple were shocked.

Charity is fine, but charity to such an extent, is that not too crazy?

How many billions would that be?

The atmosphere fell silent in that context.

For a long time.

Wang Anshi stood up.

Looking at Qin Fan with utmost seriousness.

He slowly bowed, "Mr. Qin, in the name of the people, I express my deep gratitude to you on behalf of everyone in need of charitable care and help!"

"Come on! Spare me the sentimental words, I’m just impulsively wanting to be a kind person! Sit down, let’s eat and drink! Once we officially open, the foundation will launch immediately!" Qin Fan said, shaking his head.

He then looked at Qin Chu and Wei Shuying, saying, "Mom, Dad, is it okay? You two don’t blame me for my willfulness, haha!"

"What are you talking about! You’re the only one who never showed concern for the group, the group had long established a charity fund department, to prevent any embezzlement incidents from happening, your mom personally took charge of the department! So, hearing you say you want to donate the restaurant’s profits to charity, Mom feels very gratified! Son, well done, I’m proud of you!" Wei Shuying nodded, smiling, and gave a thumbs up.

"Haha, mainly because our family isn’t lacking money now! Otherwise, I couldn’t shoulder such a responsibility!" Qin Fan laughed brightly and continued, "Alright, then I’ll continue to count on you, Mom, to take on the heavy responsibility, now, let’s eat first, let’s eat first!"

"Mm-hmm?"

"Mm-hmm?"

"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm?"

Just as Qin Fan finished speaking.

As everyone was picking up their chopsticks with smiles again.

The Six Paths, who was previously savoring the exquisite dishes, suddenly put down his chopsticks.

His brows furrowed immediately.

"Master, what’s wrong?"

The accompanying Ru Yi asked anxiously as a reflex.

Such an expression from the master was extremely rare!

"Everyone, I suddenly remembered something, I’ll take my leave now!"

Without responding to Ru Yi’s question.

He stood up, waved his sleeve with a smile, and said.

Without waiting for a response from the others.

He walked out, seemingly impolite.

"Mom, Dad, Uncle, Aunt, Grandma Yinuo, you all eat first, I’ll go see him off!"

Feeling the look Six Paths gave him before leaving.

Qin Fan furrowed his brows thoughtfully.

He then stood up with a smile.

Amidst the nodding of those in astonishment.

He followed out without a second thought.
