Chapter 78 - Tianzhaicun

"You live in Tianzhaicun?"

Wang Ming didn't think that Lang Lin lived in Tianzhaicun area, it was the same place where Fu Ya had a business meeting at. The Tianzhaicun area Wang Ming had heard stories about the place from when he was little, his father's dream was to own a house there. But it's difficult to get a house there, because not only do you have to have the money to buy one, have the power and background to back it up. The people living there don't want no one's living even close to them. He had heard from his father that the average price of a house there goes for 50 million yuan! The most expensive house there sold for over 450 million yuan.

Lang Lin said nothing instead she just nodded at Wang Ming. She knew it must shock him that she lives there, as only the top 0.1% could get a house in Tianzhaicun.

Though the person who took it worst was Su Huiliang, he had driven no one remotely close to Tianzhaicun before. Just that Lang Lin mentioned the area made him sweat. The Tianzhaicun is a legendary area everyone in Liaoling city has heard about the place, but few have visited Tianzhaicun because it's a gated community so unless you live there you can't enter. He couldn't help but ask to be sure.

"Do you really mean the Tianzhaicun area? The most expensive area in Liaoling city?"

Lang Lin sighed and said.

"Yes, that's the place."

She didn't like how people reacted when she told them where she lived. Most instantly get awed, intimidated, then usually greed shines in their eyes. Though in Wang Ming's eyes there was mostly awe and a bit of insecurity.

"I can't believe you live there, Lang Lin. That's so cool!"

Wang Ming felt a bit intimated hearing that she lives in Tianzhaicun, he didn't really care where she lives if it was anywhere else than that place. Because it meant that not only is Lang Lin's family rich, their incredibly powerful, he felt he couldn't match with her family at all, what would her father think if he met him. He would definitely not agree, though he realized he had jumped the gun a bit he's only a boyfriend candidate, not her genuine boyfriend yet.

Looking straight into Lang Lin's eyes this time, Wang Ming said with as much confidence as he could gather.

"Lang Lin, I know I'm not your genuine boyfriend, but once again I like you. I will work my a.s.s off to become not only your equal but your family's equal and even past that. Wait for me."

Lang Lin didn't know what to say hearing Wang Ming's words. She had never met someone as confident as him. All men would cower hearing where she came from, or try to get closer to her because of her family's prowess. But Wang Ming wanted to equal her family? That's insane.

"I would love to see that. If you can become as strong and as rich as my family. I will become your woman, I'll strip n.a.k.e.d and wait for you in your bed."

Even though what she said was embarrassing, Lang Lin didn't show a single emotion. She meant full business now. She didn't believe that Wang Ming could ever equal her family, but if he did, then she wouldn't mind becoming his woman.

Lang Lin now truly understood more about her feelings. She didn't love Wang Ming, but she like him a lot. Seeing his sacrifices and his conviction, it melted her ice cold heart. But even if she liked or loved Wang Ming, she knew they would most likely never be an official couple.

As she would one day need to marry for the family, her father didn't want her to, but she knew that it's the only way to stabilize her family. Which is also a reason she's so hesitant about getting together with Wang Ming. Taking out her Pinky, she wanted to do a pinky swear with Wang Ming.

Seeing that she wanted to do a pinky swear, Wang Ming laughed and took out his pinky too.

"Aren't you too old for pinky swears? But I'll hold you to your word, you'll be mine soon!"

Wang Ming and Lang Lin kept talking with each other, though they had finally broken through in their relationship. They were holding hands and flirting while they talked. Su Huiliang who had been watching their interaction felt jealous of Wang Ming getting together to such a beautiful woman, but he knew to not dream and focus on his own life. Wang Ming had to be impressive to have such a beautiful girlfriend, he thought.

"Miss Lang, we've arrived at Tianzhaicun, there're guards up ahead so I can't drive further unless they open for me. Do you want to talk with them or do you want me to drop you off here?"

"Just drop me off here."

Lang Lin then whispered into Wang Ming's ear.

"Thank you for everything, Wang Ming, I can't let my father meet you yet, please remember our promise."

Biting his ear, hard enough to leave a bite mark but not hurt. She exited the taxi to walk to the guards, but her legs were still weak so she wobbled forwards. The guards instantly recognized Lang Lin and helped her out. Which made Wang Ming relieved.

"Now Brother Hui, please take me to the Feng Zhong market."

The clock was 10 am now, which meant that Wang Ming wouldn't have time to prepare any food for his restaurant. He didn't have any other choice than to open the restaurant the next day. Though this is also the perfect opportunity to find some assistants, he didn't want to share his recipe to anyone else yet, so he wouldn't hire another chef, but he could get a few servers to do everything for him. Though he would need to be there, to monitor everything at the beginning.

Since he cooks everything beforehand, the servers would only need to cut up the meat, place them in the heaters and then serve orders. So Wang Ming could use the rest of the days for other activities, Wang Ming hadn't planned for it to be like this when he started, but now it would work perfectly.

"Brother Hui, sorry I've thought about it, lets not go to the FengZhong market. You probably know many places in the city do you know a place where I can hire some servers? I need workers."

"I know plenty of places, but it depends on what people you need."

"I need dependable servers to my restaurant, they don't need to have the best qualifications but the more trustworthy the people are the better it is."

"Ok, I have a few in mind. Though I can't guarantee loyalty as no labour hire companies can, but I know of a few trustworthy companies. Have you heard about Tonsheng? Tonsheng's a big company that specializes in training multiple types of staff, their expensive, but they have a strong reputation."

"Good, please take me there!"

Even though Wang Ming had used a lot of money the past few days, he still had 250 thousand yuan to use, so he shouldn't have any problems in hiring two servers.
