"Good... afternoon, Mr. Chao Ke, would you like... some delicious fish and chips?"

"..."

"How about...I'll give you a free meal?"

Chao Ke picked up a copy of the Surprise newspaper and said, "Mr. Louis, could you please explain why you are selling this outdated newspaper in your store?"

“Uh…Uh…”

Louis stuttered a little, organizing his words in his mind, thinking about how to answer Chao Ke's questions.

"Well, I'm selling these newspapers...I don't think it's against the laws of Fontaine, right?"

"After all, I have applied for a "Books and Newspapers Sales Permit."

Louis said as he took out a business license from under the counter and showed it to Chao Ke.

Chao Ke took it and looked at it.

There is nothing wrong with Louis's permission. The approval date is not long ago, so he probably hasn't been selling newspapers for many days.

Chao Ke couldn't help but sneer.

"Mr. Louis, you have indeed made sufficient preparations and even obtained a certificate."

Louis smiled guiltily.

"But the laws in Fontaine are complicated. You may not be familiar with some details of the newspaper sales law, Louis."

Louis' heart trembled, feeling something was wrong.

And Chao Ke continued to speak.

"In order to ensure a free press environment, Fontaine allows unregistered newspapers to publish newspapers, and these newspapers and approved books and periodicals can also be sold."

"only."

"The law has strict regulations on the time of sale and the price of sale."

"The sale period cannot exceed three days from the publication date, the selling price cannot exceed twice the average newspaper price, and most importantly..."

"It is strictly forbidden to reprint and sell this type of newspaper. Violators will be subject to heavy fines."

After Chao Ke finished speaking, Louis collapsed to the ground instantly as if all his energy had been drained away.

"how so..."

"Why didn't I read the law carefully..."

Chao Ke lifted Louis up and said, "Mr. Louis, please don't do this. I haven't finished what I want to say yet."

"What you just said was just your illegal sale of newspapers. Your sale of newspapers also constitutes unfair competition against my restaurant, and the evidence is conclusive."

"I think you will have to stay in Mellow Petersburg for quite some time."

At this time, Louis was frightened by Chao Ke's words and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chao Ke. I was jealous of your business, and I got angry and made a mistake."

"I am willing to compensate for all the losses in your store during this period. Please be kind and don't sue me."

A smile appeared on Chao Ke's lips.

"This compensation is not enough, Mr. Louis."

"Mr. Louis, you don't want to be imprisoned in Mero Petersburg, do you?"

Louis stepped back in horror.

"You, you, what do you want?"

Chao Ke: I want...

Chapter 116: Flying towards Ke again

Chao Ke: "I want you to have a few recipes and help me work for a while."

"As for other financial compensation, I don't need it. How about that?"

Louis was stunned. He did not expect the conditions offered by Ke.

He thought he would be blackmailed, but Chao Ke did not ask for any money and the conditions he offered were not that harsh.

"Mr. Chao Ke, thank you very much for your kindness."

"Don't waste time. If you have a pen and paper, write it down now before I change my mind."

"Okay, okay."

After Louis finished speaking, he picked up a pen and paper and began to write, writing down all the five recipes that Chao Ke had asked for.

After a while, Chao Ke held the recipe handed over by Louis, and a prompt from the system sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe - Garlic Breadsticks]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe - Fontaine Onion Soup]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe - Fish and Chips]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe - Fruit Gummy Candy]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the recipe - Circles and Rounds]

After finishing writing the recipe, Louis breathed a sigh of relief. He shook his sore hands and opened a bottle of Maison and drank it in big gulps.

Louis was quite particular. He didn't just drink for himself. He also opened a bottle of Fengda for Chao Ke and handed it to him.

Chao Ke took it and took a sip. The ample bubbles with a fruity sweetness were indeed refreshing and invigorating, making people feel happy.

As the drinks were shared, the atmosphere between the two became less tense.

Louis said to Chao Ke.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Chao Ke, in addition to being able to run a restaurant, is also so familiar with the laws of Fontaine. He even knows such details. I have nothing to say about falling into your hands."

Chao Ke took a sip of Fengda, but a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Louis, who told you that I was familiar with the law?"

Louis was stunned. "You are not? Then what you just said makes perfect sense..."

Then, Louis also reacted and his expression became extremely ugly.

"Chao Ke, don't tell me that those newspaper sales laws you just talked about were all lies to me?"

Chao Ke took another sip of Fengda and placed the empty bottle on the counter of the Louis store.

"Otherwise, how much free time do I have to memorize those various laws of Fontaine?"

After saying this to Chao Ke, he placed another business card under the empty Fengda bottle.

"However, when the fools are trying to make sense to you, you'd better choose to listen to their reasoning."

"For the sake of your bottle of Fontaine, give me the source of those Surprise newspapers in your store, and we'll be even."

"As for whether you want to work for me in my new store..."

"Think about it yourself."

Louis was silent, looking at the business card of Chao Keyu people, and a hint of relief flashed through his heart.

After giving his supply channels to Chao Ke, Louis said nothing more.

This snack bar is his hard work, and it takes some psychological preparation for him to give up the stall and join someone else's business.

Chao Ke roughly understood Louis' attitude and turned and left.

But as he was leaving, he took a copy of the "Amazing" newspaper from Chao Ke and pointed at Louis and said.

"If you dare to sell this stuff again, I will smash your stall."

......

In the Buffati Mansion.

After finishing his meal in the cafeteria, Chao Ke casually pushed open the door of Alechino's office.

I picked up my sister's teacup and took a sip. I had just finished my meal and it was just right to drink some tea to get rid of the greasiness.

Alecino was already used to this scene, and said without raising his head.

"Go wash the teacup and pour me another cup."

Chao Ke was naturally happy to carry out his sister's instructions.

After Chao Ke placed the brewed tea and a small plate of snacks on the table, Alechino also temporarily stopped the work in his hands and took a break.

"Sister, this newspaper is your handwriting, right?"

Alechino showed curiosity, neither confirming nor denying.

"Why do you have such a guess?"

He curled his lips at Ke.

"The people at Surprise are not fools. They know the bottom line of hype."

"Without our suggestion, how dare they print the newspaper again to get money from the restaurant?"

"If the editor-in-chief of the Surprise newspaper could not see this clearly, he would have been sunk into the sea long ago."

"Oh?"

Alechino said, shaking the teacup.

"Then why do you think it was I who backed Surprise, and not the Fontaine people?"

Chao Ke picked up a piece of golden crystal conch cake and put it into his mouth, feeling its softness and sweetness.

After eating a piece of snack, he answered Chao Ke.

"Sister, I understand you."

"If it's really an outsider bullying my industry, Louis will most likely disappear before I come back."

Alechino smiled, and was quite satisfied with Chao Ke's answer.
