30 Signing the contrac

Hearing Meng Hao mentioning the contract Wang Ming got excited, this was exactly what he wished for. Write his name on the contract as fast as possible and then go the restaurant. He hoped that Meng Hao wouldn't use too much of his time. Not that Wang Ming didn't like him or disregarded him as a friend. But the restaurant for Wang Ming is like Candy for kids right now. The only thing he could think about is the restaurant and what he would do with it.

"Thank you, Meng Hao. I will never forget this favor. I will never forget the people that helped me in my all-time low. I can't express to you how much this means to me. But you are my best friend forever." When saying those words, Wang Ming felt his eyes starting to moisten and his lips quivering, but he had promised to himself that he would not cry anymore. So he pinched his hand to distract himself from his sad thoughts. Instead, he laughed and joked with Meng Hao.

"Though, why did you take me to this restaurant and dress up so nicely? You aren't gay by any chance?" Hearing what Wang Ming said, Meng Hao's face stiffened up, and he laughed nervously. Meng Hao didn't know how Wang Ming knew, he thought he had covered it up good. Did he make it too obvious with how he acted? So Wang Ming deduced that he was so nice to him only because he liked Wang Ming. Trying to act as normal as possible, Meng Hao laughed again, but this time like he laughed at a joke and said. "Me, Gay? haha that's funny Wang Ming."

Seeing Meng Hao laugh at his joke, Wang Ming also cracked up and said. "In this world, if it's one person I know 100% that does not like men then that's you. You are so manly, I bet you slay girls daily." If Wang Ming had been attentive, then he could have noticed that after Meng Hao heard his words, there was a flash of sadness on his face but he composed himself instantly. Knowing that to charm Wang Ming would be a long battle and not something he could successfully do in one day.

"You know me already Wang Ming, if you ever meet a woman you like, then remember to tell me. In case I flirt with the sister-in-law and you catch us in bed together." Hearing this Wang Ming felt shocked, but then seeing the shit-eating grin on Meng Hao's face, he understood that Meng Hao was also only joking.

"I will not only bring you one sister-in-law but many, mark my words. But let's get down to business, where is the contract?" Seeing a bunch of paper flying towards him, Wang Ming grabbed it and saw the words on the front page which said Lease contract. Then flipping the page he started reading the contract, not that he didn't believe in Meng Hao, but friends are friends, business is business.

While Wang Ming was still reading the contract, the coffee finally came. Two cups of freshly made Civet coffee and over 20 plates of different desserts arrived. When the waiter entered the room, it shocked him to see that only two persons were in the room. Why would they order so many desserts with only 2 persons? But as long as they paid it was not any of his business, the biggest taboo of a waiter was to be nosy.

Putting the food and coffee on the table, the waiter then made his way out. When the waiter closed the door, it was also when Wang Ming finished reading the contract. Satisfied and glad that there weren't any hidden clauses in the contract or that Meng Hao tried to scam him, he signed the contract. Since there were some people that made a living of scamming people that were illiterate or trusting, Wang Ming had to read through the contract even though he believed in Meng Hao.

"1st of July next year, I will pay you the 110 thousand yuan in total. Thank you for giving me a cheap price because I know that your restaurant is worth a lot more, just because of the location." Wang Ming said while giving back the contract to Meng Hao. Then he took a small sip of the coffee and felt impressed by how rich the taste was. He could even taste a faint hint of caramel in it, even though there were no additives in the coffee.

Wang Ming couldn't help himself but keep sipping on the coffee, but after drinking about half of the cup he saw that there were lots of desserts on the table, and felt like he needed to save the coffee to drink after a bite of cake. Then looking at Meng Hao, Wang Ming realized that he hadn't even touched his coffee or dessert yet but was staring at Wang Ming.

"Why aren't you touching the food or drink? Even if I'm paying, you can still eat." Meng Hao was thinking about his battle plan that's why he weren't eating, and since the target was Wang Ming which made him subconsciously stare at Wang Ming.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something let's eat, then you can go." Tasting his first dessert, which was a Napoleon cake, Wang Ming felt deeply impressed by the person who invented this and the chef that made it. It had a great consistency the cream in the middle spongy and not overly sweet. The layers of cake were hard enough to hold everything together but not too hard that it would easily break. But the jewel of the crown was the sweet cream on the top. It made the cake go from a 7 out of 10 to easily a 10 out of 10.

Wang Ming was soaking up a lot of knowledge on western types of desserts by eating here and he loved it. He didn't eat more than a few bites of each dessert, since he didn't want to become too full. There were a lot of different desserts he tried out tiramisu, chocolate cake, pumpkin pie, cheesecake, macaroons and others. He also finally understood why people liked to drink coffee with sweets, it wasn't something groundbreaking but Wang Ming had eaten little sweets before this so he didn't know. But it was to combat the bitterness of coffee with the sweetness of the dessert.

He would have loved to personally meet the chef and ask him about his experiences in making these dishes. But felt like it would be too much of a hassle for the chef, but he promised himself that some day he would go to Europe to taste these dishes but made by the country that invented them. He felt like that would give him the best experience like how people go to Japan to get their best sushi experience he would do the same but with the desserts.

Meng Hao and Wang Ming barely talked when they ate, mostly because of Wang Ming since the sweets engrossed him. The only thing Wang Ming could think about while eating was how the chef made it, the different tastes and how he could replicate them for his restaurant and potential improvements.

Finally, both of them were full and done eating, but not knowing what to talk about now they just stared at each other. Wang Ming broke the silence first by saying. "The food was great, we need to go back here sometime. Since we are both done, then let's go. I want to check out the restaurant so I'll bid you goodbye here."

Seeing Wang Ming say goodbye, Meng Hao wasn't very willing but slow and steady wins the race. So he didn't push Wang Ming any further and decided instead to visit Wang Ming's restaurant in two days.

Bidding each other goodbye, Wang Ming made his way out of the restaurant and then facepalmed himself. He let Louzheng go earlier, so now he didn't have a car to go to the restaurant. Then calling Louzheng, he told Wang Ming that he was on the other side of the city and couldn't get Wang Ming before an hour. Sighing Wang Ming didn't know what to do, he could ask Meng Hao to drive him but didn't want to bother him.

So he decided to call another taxi instead. It would be a fairly expensive ride, but sometimes you have to do what you need to do. But as he was on the call with the taxi company, a car stopped in front of him and a familiar face popped out of the window.
