They definitely have their distinct personalities, just like people from affluent families. Even a maid walking out would feel superior.

"Bai Lin, no issues with the kitchen, right? The kitchen is the heart of a restaurant." Ling Zhenfei asked Bai Lin.

"No issues, the taste will be top-notch." Bai Lin said confidently.

Ling Zhenfei nodded with satisfaction and then asked Tang Tang, "How about the desserts, any issues?"

Tang Tang made an "ok" gesture to Ling Zhenfei and said, "Rest assured, when my new desserts make their debut, they'll definitely be unbeatable."

"Is the bartender ready?"

"Ready."

Ling Zhenfei went on to ask each department, and received very affirmative responses.

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Procurement needs to go to Xishan Manor early tomorrow to bring back the vegetables needed. There mustn't be any mistakes. We don't know what unexpected things might happen tomorrow, so ensure the security team is all on duty, no mistakes allowed."

The opening time will be 8:40. We must open on time. Some friends might come, maybe no one. But whether people come or not, we must be very confident, understand?"

"Set off fireworks at 8:40. I want ten thousand fireworks, and one hundred ceremonial fireworks, the more the better."

Ling Zhenfei started giving instructions one by one. At this moment, he looked at Jiang Hui and said, "Jiang Hui, what you need to do tomorrow is take some photos at different times and post them online."

"I got it, leave it to me." Jiang Hui was very proficient with these tasks.

"That's it then, everyone disperse and go prepare, make sure everything goes perfectly."

After everyone left, Ling Zhenfei stood by the glass window on the second floor, watching the bustling streets with a hint of nervousness in his heart.

It felt like taking an exam in school, completely uncertain about the type of questions he would face, not knowing if his studies were comprehensive enough to tackle all the problems.

"We can only take it one step at a time." Ling Zhenfei comforted himself, feeling slightly relieved.

At this moment, the phone rang. Ling Zhenfei glanced at it and saw it was Xu Yuyu calling, which surprised him. He wondered why Xu Yuyu was calling at this time.

He answered the call, and Xu Yuyu's voice came through: "Ling Zhenfei, is it convenient to talk now?"

Ling Zhenfei looked around and said, "It's convenient to talk, go ahead, what's up?"

Xu Yuyu laughed on the other end: "Honey, I miss you."

Ling Zhenfei was almost scared out of his wits by Xu Yuyu's boldness. Her voice was so loud, he had no idea what she wanted.

"What's up with you? Why did you think of calling me now?"

Xu Yuyu said, "I watched your video today, and the more I watched it, the more I missed you. I know you're facing some problems now, so I wanted to call to encourage you."

After hearing this, Ling Zhenfei felt warm inside: "Thank you, I'm okay, I won't be defeated by a little trouble."

"I believe in you; you are the best. Let me tell you something else; it might cheer you up." Xu Yuyu said excitedly.

"What else is there? Tell me." Ling Zhenfei wondered what Xu Yuyu wanted to say.

Xu Yuyu lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "The little one is kicking me in my belly, maybe he heard your voice and is eager to see his dad."

Ling Zhenfei felt overwhelmed, but the prominent feeling was excitement.

Ling Zhenfei even doubted himself a little, am I really going to be a dad now, maybe a soon-to-be dad?

"Have you checked if it's a boy or a girl?" Ling Zhenfei asked curiously.

Xu Yuyu laughed and said, "Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Boy or girl, it doesn't matter to me."

Xu Yuyu laughed and said, "I'll tell you, it's a boy. In the future, our son will inherit their family's assets, and we'll have something to rely on."

A son, it's actually a son. Ling Zhenfei didn't know how his heart was beating; his feelings were incredibly complex.

"Once I'm done with the restaurant matters and have time, I'll come to the Capital City to visit you, okay?"

"Of course, but I can't wait that long, I'm eager to see you." Xu Yuyu said.

"I'll come as soon as possible, don't worry."

After chatting for a while longer, they hung up the phone. After hanging up, Ling Zhenfei felt significantly better and even a bit excited.

To Ling Zhenfei, everything seemed inconsequential now. What's a little setback, why fear it?

After thinking it through, Ling Zhenfei felt more cheerful, suddenly realizing that the outcome didn't matter as much. They say a man goes through two phases of growth in his life.

One is after getting married and understanding the concept of family, the other is after having children and getting a sense of family responsibility.

Now, Ling Zhenfei experienced such a transformation; in the face of family, any win or loss seemed insignificant. As a man, one should view everything as a game.

Just as they say, life is like chess; who is the chess piece?

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and suddenly felt that this crisis allowed him to grow.

"Since we're going to play, let's play well."

With this thought, Ling Zhenfei took out his phone and dialed Qin Lan's number.

On the other end, Qin Lan evidently did not expect a call from Ling Zhenfei at this moment, though she had been anticipating it.

"Hello, Boss Ling."

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I'm very well now."

Qin Lan also smiled and said, "As long as Boss Ling is well, I'm relieved. You sound in good spirits."

"Not bad, not bad. President Qin has quite the methods, this undercut tactic is really effective."

"I dare not claim so. I've told you before, as long as you partner with me, it's a win-win situation."

"If partnering is win-win, not partnering means sending me to hell, right? Not bad."

Qin Lan laughed and said, "That's the brutal reality of business competition."

Ling Zhenfei curiously asked, "I would like to know, what other measures do you have for my restaurant opening tomorrow?"

Qin Lan said, "I've been playing business warfare for many years; I've got plenty of tactics. As long as you don't cooperate with me, you'll face two outcomes."

"Oh, I'm curious about those two outcomes." Ling Zhenfei asked.

"First, your restaurant shuts down, and your manor's vegetables won't sell. The second is more severe; I can even send you to jail."

Ling Zhenfei laughed: "You're really scaring me. What should I do then?"

Qin Lan said, "Very simple, you cooperate with Fengming Group. You become the vegetable producer, we become the vegetable seller, guaranteed win-win."

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "If this had been before, maybe I'd consider it. But now, it's impossible. I'm the kind of person who prefers soft to hard approaches. Since the game has begun, let's not stop."
