The next morning, Shen Qiang, who was still sleeping on the floor, woke up to a call from the old man of the Zhong Family. He said that after contacting a few other major shareholders of Dinghao, they agreed to sell the shares of Dinghao Hotel as long as the price was right, but in that case, Shen Qiang would need to spend a lot of money to bribe them.

Excluding that owner's shares, Shen Qiang needed to buy all other shares in the Dinghao Hotel from others, which would cost at least 250 million.

Shen Qiang agreed without a second thought.

Because Shen Qiang's intention was clear, since the owner of Dinghao, Zhang, had sabotaged the Datong River, he should compensate with Dinghao.

After acquiring the other shares, and kicking out the interest groups behind him, Shen Qiang not only secured the 35% shares of Zhang's Dinghao Hotel.

He would get them for free.

This was an example of using their own methods against them.

Isn't that Mr. Zhang awesome?

Wreaking havoc on the Datong River, threatening Lv Shuyao's father, and bragging about his wealth.

Just wait, don't rush; wait until after collecting the shares and ousting others, when Shen Qiang becomes the major shareholder of Dinghao, these accounts will be settled little by little.

Breakfast was had in the hotel restaurant.

Because the top eight of the culinary competition had already been selected, the next matches would be broadcast on TV, so there were no competitions today.

The main reason was not what the organizers said, not to let the top eight teams recuperate, but because the TV station personnel entered to adjust various settings and construct the stage.

In such a circumstance, more than half of the team members from the Datong River who came to compete were first-timers, so taking this chance, they wanted to explore around. As their boss, Shen Qiang naturally wasn't stingy.

Making it to the top eight.

This already meant that Lv Shuyao's mother's plan could be put into action, and in the coming years, the Datong River restaurant might open in every corner of the world.

Such a celebratory event, Shen Qiang, as the boss, naturally wasn't stingy.

Ordinary team members, each received a bonus of 20,000 and a day off.

The French chef Adrian was given a bonus of 50,000.

As for Lv Shuyao's dad, honestly, he's technically a partner now. Giving him a bonus seemed absurd, but it would be awkward if this key player didn't get a bonus while others did, so he also got 50,000.

Not only that, Shen Qiang also hired a tour guide specifically to take them out for a day.

Having arranged their matters.

It was almost ten a.m.

Settling down, Shen Qiang and Xiu Ju sat quietly in the lobby of the hotel, looking at each other.

"Your vixen has abandoned you," Xiu Ju teasingly said. "Isn't this the time she should be asking you out for lunch, and then chat about the 'Daluo Heavenly Tribulation Heart Sutra'?

"Why don't you go see your chiseled-ab monk?" Shen Qiang shot back.

Xiu Ju rolled her eyes at Shen Qiang, somewhat bored, and said, "Shall we go out for a walk? It seems we are quite close to the People's Square."

Shen Qiang laughed, "I admit Shanghai is beautiful, but now it's mid-September, the sun is shining brightly, and it's thirty-eight degrees outside. Are you asking me to accompany you to People's Square? I think, we'd be better off going to a swimming center to appreciate the level of local swimsuit designers."

"You just want to look at long legs," Xiu Ju teased.

Shen Qiang earnestly replied, "I'm not as unrefined as you think. I am a connoisseur, an investor. Maybe I'll turn around, start a clothing factory specializing in fashionable swimwear, and perhaps hire you to design ab-showing outfits since you like that stuff. You might accomplish something not too silly."

Xiu Ju smiled coldly, "Ha, only those trash at the Golden Core Stage are obsessed with fair legs. Neglecting their proper duties, they deserve their low Cultivation."

Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "Female hooligan."

"Stud, playboy," Xiu Ju's gaze was frosty.

While they were arguing, Shen Qiang's phone rang.

Smiling as he pulled out his phone, Shen Qiang said, "I guess it's Miss Chu Qing. See, this is the charm of a handsome guy."

Xiu Ju rolled her eyes at Shen Qiang, "Ha, clearly she's just calculating your finances, yet you're smug about it."

Almost simultaneously, Shen Qiang answered the phone with a slight surprise.

"Brother Ma, what's up? Mr. Zhang from Dinghao Hotel wants to talk to me? Tell him to scram, I have nothing to discuss with him, and I don't have time to chat with him either. Yes, my word counts. If he damages my Datong River, I'll take his Dinghao. If I can't do what I say, then what kind of man am I?"

"Yeah, I'm free today, tomorrow there's a live broadcast from eight to five, then a day after, five to three, and then another day for the championship contest. Yeah, ha, it's terrible, they only arranged a small room, and if you're coming, you'll need to find your own place."

"Yeah, okay, see you then, hanging up now,"

After hanging up, Xiu Ju smiled smugly, "Yo, it wasn't your vixen. Listening to your tone, you sounded listless."

Shen Qiang frowned, "You are just a typical case of jealousy. When you see someone beautiful, you call her a vixen,"

"She is one." Xiu Ju frowned.

Shen Qiang laughed, "So what? She's beautiful."

"She's a demon!" Xiu Ju scowled.

"She's beautiful," Shen Qiang teased her.

"Those not of our kind must have different hearts."

"She's beautiful."

"I don't want to talk to you anymore."

"She's still beautiful."

Xiu Ju was so angry she gritted her teeth. Just then, as she turned her head inadvertently, she froze, and then whispered, "Bianyi."

Shen Qiang turned his head in surprise and saw Bianyi, who carried himself like a boss, smiling as he approached.

Sitting directly opposite Shen Qiang, Bianyi smiled slightly and said, "Brother Shen Qiang, truly envious, owning the Datong River restaurant, you're making a fortune daily."

Looking at him coldly, Shen Qiang smiled, "I'm curious, why didn't you call before coming to find me?""

"I was just here to look around but since I ran into you, let's chat for a bit," Bianyi said with a smile: "Because I'm quite busy now, still have a lot of business to attend to. There's an urgent project to dispose of, priced at sixty million, I think you might be interested."

'

Shen Qiang was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Which aspect?"

"A young man who uses poison, wears a mask, carrying a bounty of one hundred million on his back," Bianyi smiled, "Many people want to know his whereabouts, and I think you, Brother Shen Qiang, would want to know too, so I thought, maybe I could sell the info to you first."

Shen Qiang chuckled, "Sixty million is not a small number, and besides, I can't be sure that you won't sell the same information to someone else."

"Yes, indeed, there's no guarantee," Bianyi laughed, "Even I'm not clear if I'll sell it to others again, but it seems you don't have much choice. Fixed price, sixty million, before three this afternoon; if it's later, I think I'll run out of patience."
