Chapter 98

"Starting today, you don't need to go to the night market anymore. Start preparing for the restaurant opening," Lin Yihang said.

"Okay!" Tong Jie nodded without hesitation.

No one wants to work at the night market late into the night, especially when it means making a four or five-year-old daughter suffer along with her.

This also showed her trust in Lin Yihang. She believed that once his restaurant opened, it would definitely be successful.

"First, we need to find a location. Since we're going for a high-end route, the location must be large, with convenient transportation and parking. Tong Jie, you're familiar with Shuncheng. Have you noticed any places that meet these criteria?" Lin Yihang asked.

"There are several places that meet the criteria, but they seem to be already rented out. We'll need to look around to find one," Tong Jie replied.

"Alright! I'll leave the task of finding a location to you, Tong Jie. We need to get it done as soon as possible. As long as it meets the criteria, it doesn't have to be in the city center. Even a location in the suburbs is fine. A good restaurant will attract customers even if it's in a remote area," Lin Yihang said.

"Okay! If it doesn't have to be in the city center, there will be many options," Tong Jie nodded in agreement.

"A woman running around might not be safe. I'll have Xiaodao come to help you with this," Lin Yihang thought for a moment and said.

"Okay!" Tong Jie nodded. She knew that Xiaodao was going to work with Lin Yihang. His concern for her safety touched her a little.

As for Xiaodao, although they had some unpleasant experiences in the past, recent interactions showed that he wasn't as bad as she thought. At the very least, he was very loyal to his friends and trustworthy.

"Let's go! We'll head to the bank first. I'll withdraw some cash and transfer some money to your card. This will be the initial working capital, which you can manage freely. Once we find a location, I'll handle the rent and renovation costs," Lin Yihang said.

"That's not necessary! I still have some money that I can use. We can discuss the deposit when we find a location," Tong Jie said.

"Working for free and even paying out of your own pocket... You're a great employee! Don't forget, I'm your boss now. Besides, Xiaodao and his team can't work for free, right?" Lin Yihang smiled and playfully rubbed Tong Jie's long hair.

Tong Jie smiled and didn't say anything more. Her small amount of money wouldn't really help much.

They went upstairs to call the little girl down. She was unhappy about having to go out again so soon after coming back, as she was playing with her toys happily.

It wasn't until Lin Yihang promised to make her a delicious medicinal soup when they returned that the little girl cheered up.

Lin Yihang carried a backpack. Xiao Ding was his lifeline, so he couldn't leave it in the small apartment. If it were lost, he would be devastated.

They rode on an electric scooter, with the little girl standing on the front step and Tong Jie sitting behind.

After they left, Dong Qing rode her bicycle to the intersection, stopped by the curb, and looked at the back of the three of them, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

...

On the way, Lin Yihang called Xiaodao and asked him to bring his team to the bank.

"Sure, Mr. Lin! Should we bring weapons?" Xiaodao agreed immediately.

"Bring weapons for what?" Lin Yihang was taken aback.

"Aren't you going to rob the bank? Without weapons, the success rate would be low. Mr. Lin, you're so bold, starting big on your first try!" Xiaodao lowered his voice, sounding excited.

Pfft!

Lin Yihang almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Xiaodao was really imaginative. He was a real oddball, just like Han Xue.

"Do I look like someone who would do something so unproductive? I'm leading you on the right path. Stop talking nonsense and bring your team over quickly!" Lin Yihang hung up, not wanting to waste more time on that guy.

The bank they were going to was nearby, and they arrived quickly.

Tong Jie gave Lin Yihang her card number and waited in the waiting area while he went to handle the business.

VIP customers don't have to wait in line like ordinary people.

A moment later, while Tong Jie was playing with the little girl, she received a text message. She opened it and was immediately stunned. The long string of "0"s made her eyes widen in shock.

One million! It was actually one million!

Lin Yihang's background was not simple; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to command such respect from both the police and the thugs. Tong Jie had already suspected this.

Lin Yihang had announced that he was investing in a high-end restaurant, and she had mentally prepared for a significant investment.

However, he had just said that this was the initial working capital, and the rent and renovation costs would be handled later. The project hadn't even started, and he was already transferring one million as working capital... The amount exceeded her expectations.

She never imagined that the young man living in her apartment would have such determination.

Soon, Lin Yihang came out, carrying a briefcase. Beside him, a well-dressed man smiled and saw him off. He wore a name tag identifying him as the VIP customer manager, Gao Zhiqiang.

"Let's go!" Lin Yihang called to Tong Jie.

Tong Jie, who had questions, naturally couldn't ask them in front of a stranger. She nodded obediently and held the little girl's hand.

When Gao Zhiqiang saw Tong Jie, his eyes lit up with admiration. Looking at Lin Yihang, he felt a mix of envy and understanding... Such a young and wealthy client must be a second-generation rich kid. It's normal for a second-generation rich kid to have a beautiful woman by his side!

However, having a child at such a young age, and one that looked about four or five years old... This guy must have developed early! He had already attracted such a beautiful woman four or five years ago, achieving what others strive for their entire lives... Tsk tsk!

Gao Zhiqiang tsked in admiration, and for the next few days, he lamented the inequality of fate.

"Mr. Lin, please walk slowly. If you need it, you can apply for our security to escort you home," Gao Zhiqiang smiled, showing his high level of professionalism.

"No need," Lin Yihang replied coolly, walking towards his car.

Tsk tsk! A Mercedes S600!

Gao Zhiqiang admired it again. He saw Lin Yihang walking towards a black Mercedes!

Young, wealthy, luxury car, beautiful woman... This is life!

Wait? He walked past it, not the Mercedes! Could it be the Volkswagen Bora in front? Yes! There was only one Bora left in front... As for the electric scooter beside it, Gao Zhiqiang ignored it completely.

Look at him, so low-key! Transferring one million and withdrawing one million in cash, yet he only drives a Bora... Young people often care about their image, but few are this low-key!

However, the next moment, Gao Zhiqiang's eyes almost popped out in shock.

He saw Lin Yihang not opening the Bora but taking out a key, bending down, and unlocking the electric scooter, pushing it out.

What? What's going on?

Gao Zhiqiang was stunned, unable to speak. He watched as the little girl happily stood on the step, and the stunning woman, holding the briefcase, straddled the back. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would have believed that the briefcase contained one million in cash.

Is this young man just playing a game for fun?

Gao Zhiqiang quickly recovered, maintaining his smile and not daring to underestimate him because of his low-key approach.

"Mr. Lin, please walk slowly. If you need any services next time, you can call me in advance using the business card I gave you. I will be ready to serve you."

"Okay!" Lin Yihang nodded.

In the moment he turned his head, he didn't notice that the little girl was standing on the step, and her hands were not steady, grabbing the handle and twisting it.

Whoosh!

The electric scooter suddenly shot forward.

"Ah—" Behind, Tong Jie, unable to maintain her balance, screamed and fell off.

Lin Yihang was also startled. However, he was greeting Gao Zhiqiang and had no hands to grab the handle, so he couldn't react in time. In the panic, he could only prioritize safety and grabbed the little girl, diving down.

Bang!

The out-of-control electric scooter shot forward and crashed into the Mercedes.

"Damn! What are you doing! What are you doing! What's wrong with you, you broke my Mercedes with your lousy electric scooter. Can you afford to pay for it?"

At the bank entrance, a young man in his thirties immediately ran over, full of anger.
