Bloody Romance: I, the big troublemaker, Zhong Yuemin!

"What's impossible?"

Zhong Yuemin's eyes revealed a cold insight into the ways of the world.

"I know Luo Yun too well. The men who get involved with her... humph, they basically all end up in bad shape."

This Chen Long? He's just a foolish young man blinded by desire who thinks he's found 'true love.' As for his father…

Zhong Yuemin leaned back slightly.

"Would someone who can rise to a high-level position in a large state-owned group like Zhengrong be a fool? I bet they're still in the dark. If they really knew, with the caution and shrewdness of an old fox, they would never let things progress so quickly and so 'smoothly.' To dare to make a single transaction of 500,000 is too ostentatious."

He paused, then continued his analysis:

"I reckon these two are cut from the same cloth as Li Yuanchao. They all understand the principle that 'you can't hide fire with paper.' No matter how careful they are, this kind of shady business will eventually be exposed."

So, they planned to take a risk, seize the opportunity and connections they had now, and make a fortune, enough money to last several lifetimes, and then…

He made a gesture as if he were flying away.

"He dusted himself off and went out to enjoy himself."

Gao Yue's eyebrows shot up, her face showing undisguised indignation, adopting the posture of an "angry young man":

"These people, receiving high salaries from the state, sit in their offices all day drinking tea and reading newspapers, living such leisurely lives. And they're still not satisfied? Instead of thinking about how to develop the company well, they're scheming like this, selling off state-owned assets, and undermining state-owned enterprises. They really... deserve to die!"

After saying that, she turned to Zhong Yuemin, her tone urgent.

"Mr. Zhong, I think we should call the police, dig out these parasites, and punish them severely!"

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but laugh as he looked at her indignant and righteous expression.

"why are you laughing?"

Gao Yue was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Am I wrong?"

"Yes, that's right."

Zhong Yuemin's smile faded, but a hint of amusement remained in his eyes.

"Xiao Gao, you have a strong sense of justice. Your patriotism and sense of right and wrong are commendable. Good job."

Gao Yue pouted, feeling that he was coaxing a child:

"Don't treat me like a student, okay? Are we just going to stand by and watch these people get away with it?"

Zhong Yuemin sighed, his tone becoming somewhat somber:

"Xiao Gao, greed is hidden in human nature. I can guarantee you that in a place like Zheng Rong Group, there are more than just one or two people like Luo Yun and Li Yuanchao."

Even without them, others would emerge. These things breed from the root; simply arresting them won't eradicate them, nor will it be able to control them.

"But..."

The tone shifted abruptly, revealing a hint of coldness.

"I can't guarantee anything about others, but Li Yuanchao, and the old man behind him... Hmph, no matter how much money they make, they probably won't have the life to live a carefree life."

Gao Yue understood the implied meaning and her eyes lit up:

"What do you mean? Did you... dig a pit for them all along? Just waiting for them to jump in?"

Having spent a lot of time with this person, she had a general understanding of their methods. Don't be fooled by their ever-present smile and seemingly kind demeanor; when it comes to scheming, they can be ruthless.

Zhong Yuemin did not answer directly, but simply said:

"You'll find out when the time comes. I understand the current situation. Continue with the usual procedures on your end. Don't alert them or make any rash moves."

“…I understand.” Although Gao Yue was unwilling, she understood the seriousness of the matter and could only nod in agreement.

After a moment of silence, she spoke again:

"Mr. Zhong, I... have another personal matter I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

"explain."

"What do you think... about opening a private restaurant now?"

Zhong Yuemin raised an eyebrow:

"What, you don't want to work for me anymore? Planning to go solo and become your own boss?"

“It wasn’t me,” Gao Yue quickly shook her head, “It was my brother.”

"Your brother? Isn't he a middle school teacher? What, is he planning to open a restaurant on the side?" Zhong Yuemin was a little surprised.

Gao Yue sighed, her face showing helplessness and worry:

“I don’t know what my brother is thinking. He was doing well as a teacher, but recently he heard from someone that all the capable people these days have quit their jobs to go into business. He said that many of the people he knows have made a fortune in business.”

"Look, I guess he got envious and his mind started racing. He insists on trying it himself, and no matter how I try to dissuade him, it's no use. He's already quit his job and is looking for storefronts everywhere, saying he wants to open a restaurant. I have absolutely no confidence in this, and I don't know anything about it. You have experience, do you think... this can work out?"

Zhong Yuemin pondered for a moment, but did not directly deny it:

"Of the basic necessities of life, food, shelter, and transportation, eating is the most important. People have to eat to live. The restaurant business has existed since ancient times, and as long as you do it well, you can definitely make money."

"But is your brother planning to open a high-end restaurant, or just a regular family-style eatery?"

“With my brother’s meager teacher’s salary and his extravagant spending habits, he hasn’t saved much money at all. He said he could only afford to open a small, ordinary restaurant,” Gao Yue said truthfully.

"A small restaurant..."

Zhong Yuemin pondered,

"There are many intricacies involved. Specifically, there are aspects such as the uniqueness of the dishes, location selection, customer flow, cost control, service quality, and even business registration, taxation, health, and fire safety... There are just too many factors to consider."

My suggestion is that you should persuade your brother again not to rush into investing money. It would be better to find someone knowledgeable in the catering industry first and learn from their experience.

Alternatively, he could refrain from putting on airs of a boss and apply for a job as a waiter or kitchen helper at a decent hotel or restaurant, starting from the bottom and familiarizing himself with all the procedures. This is similar to warfare; knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory, right?

He looked at Gao Yue and said earnestly:

"Xiao Gao, doing business is easy to watch others make money, but you only know how heavy it is when you pick it up yourself. You only see others making big money in business, but you have to look down and see how many people have lost everything and gone bankrupt under the feet of those successful people. It's too risky to throw your entire fortune into it in a moment of passion."

Gao Yue nodded, preparing to ask more questions, when someone called from outside.

"Xiaoyue, are you there, Xiaoyue..."

Upon hearing that it was her brother, Gao Yue hurriedly went outside to the corridor and down to the courtyard. There, her brother, Gao Cheng, was sitting on a motorcycle, waving to her, with a woman on the back.

"Brother, how did you find your way here?"

"Xiaoyue, come down first, I need to talk to you!"

Gao Yue went downstairs, and Zhong Yuemin and Liu Jing also came out to watch the excitement. They followed the crowd downstairs and saw Gao Cheng's fashionable attire, which was simply amazing. They had seen him once before, but if they bumped into him on the street, they definitely wouldn't recognize him.
