Yang Zixuan and Zhou Tong looked at Ling Zhenfei. They knew Ling Zhenfei had plenty of ways to solve problems, his connections were extensive, and if he said he could handle everything, he certainly could.

The day after tomorrow is the restaurant's opening day, and it's hard to predict what will happen on that day. Thinking about this made Ling Zhenfei inexplicably nervous.

Xue Fei and Bai Lin had already come out of the kitchen early. Seeing Ling Zhenfei, they walked over.

"Master, you're here?"

"Hello, Master."

Ling Zhenfei looked at the two of them and said, "Are you satisfied with the environment and facilities here?"

Bai Lin smiled and said, "Of course, it's absolutely perfect, just like I imagined."

"Yes, Master, all the equipment is excellent and complete. We're very satisfied," Xue Fei said from the side.

Xue Fei and Bai Lin, one with a dominant personality and the other steadier, complemented each other well. The two of them working together could achieve a complementary effect.

"Since you're very satisfied with the kitchen, tonight I'd like to taste your skills and see if you've improved."

"Alright, Master, just wait. We'll definitely impress you."

After saying this, Bai Lin and Xue Fei ran towards the kitchen. Seeing their enthusiasm, Ling Zhenfei knew they really liked it here.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei suddenly felt his phone vibrate. There must be a call. When he took out his phone, the call had already ended, ringing just once.

Ling Zhenfei checked his phone and saw that the missed call was from Bai Ling.

Looking at the phone, Ling Zhenfei hesitated. Why would Bai Ling call him? He wanted to call back, but he remembered he had promised Su Wanlong and Su Wanhu not to contact Bai Ling.

This hesitation made Ling Zhenfei very conflicted. Suddenly, he thought of Bai Ling, and his heart was filled with sorrow. Would he ever see Bai Ling again in this lifetime?

With the opening day approaching, time became tight. Despite it being late, Yang Zixuan had already arranged for staff to start operating according to regular working hours.

Ling Zhenfei and Jiang Hui sat at a table, with Zhou Tong and Yang Zixuan beside them. They simulated the normal dining situation to find flaws in the restaurant.

Despite many preparations, success wasn't easy to achieve in one go. Ling Zhenfei pointed out several minor details.

Soon the food was served. Every worker at Xishan Manor was carefully selected.

Xishan Restaurant offered high wages, plenty of days off, and reasonable bonus schemes, attracting a lot of applicants.

Ling Zhenfei followed a principle for hiring waitstaff: prioritize those with good looks, intelligence, and quality.

In other words, he sought pretty, unpretentious, and motivated girls, making Xishan Manor a haven for beauties.

After eating, Ling Zhenfei's phone rang again. He was shocked to see Qin Lan calling.

Towards Qin Lan, Ling Zhenfei had no good feelings. This woman was too aggressive and would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. What could she be calling about now?

"How are you, Mr. Ling?"

On the other end, Qin Lan sounded back to her graceful self, unlike her previous enraged state.

"What's up? If you have something to say, say it quickly." He was already angry, and hearing Qin Lan's voice made him angrier.

Qin Lan laughed: "Of course, I have something important. Once I tell you, you'll realize it's a big deal."

"What do you mean? Hurry up and say it," Ling Zhenfei was indeed curious.

Qin Lan softly said, "I still want to cooperate with your Xishan Manor. If you refuse, don't blame me for using some methods."

"What methods? Are you going to have the industry and fire departments investigate me?"

Qin Lan's tone slightly dropped: "Of course not. I know you have wide connections; a small firefighting certificate shouldn't be too hard."

"Then what's your scheme?" Ling Zhenfei's curiosity grew.

Qin Lan laughed: "I guarantee that if you still refuse to cooperate with our Fengming Group, I'll cut off your resources."

Such a threat surprised Ling Zhenfei slightly. What could make her so confident about cutting off his resources?

"If I don't agree, I don't believe you can do anything drastic."

Qin Lan's voice turned stern: "You're too arrogant, Ling Zhenfei. If you keep being stubborn, you will regret it."

Ling Zhenfei hesitated. Was Qin Lan really bluffing or did she have something on him?

Was Xishan Manor really about to face trouble?

"If you want me to cooperate, explain why, or I won't believe your threats."

Qin Lan laughed: "Why would I tell you? I'll just say if you don't decide now, your opening the day after tomorrow won't happen."

Ling Zhenfei grew angry. Was Qin Lan bluffing him?

"Then I can't agree with you. I don't believe you've got anything on me."

Qin Lan coldly replied: "Fine, Ling Zhenfei. Since you're still stubborn, don't blame me for being harsh."

"Suit yourself, whatever makes you happy."

They hung up, both displeased, but Ling Zhenfei was slightly worried. Qin Lan's serious tone wasn't likely a joke.

"What's wrong, boss?" Zhou Tong asked.

Ling Zhenfei looked at the people at the table: "We open the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow will be crucial."

"What do you mean? Something big happening tomorrow?" Yang Zixuan asked.

Ling Zhenfei replied: "Our restaurant's opening will impact others. Not everyone wants us to open, so we must guard against sabotage."

"Don't worry, boss. I'll guard here tonight. No one will cause trouble."

"Yes, our security team is on duty 24/7."
