Chapter 37 Poverty Limits Imagination

"Brother Wang, do you have any other grievances?" asked Zhao Lu.

Wang Chao carefully counted the stack of money and then took out the extra money and stuffed it into Fang Cheng's pocket. "I am a fair person. We agreed on 3,000 yuan, so that's what it is. Not more, not less. You can take the extra money back."

"Get lost!" Fang Cheng yelled as he was kicked out of the restaurant by Wang Chao.

Dong Cong and the others breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wang Chao didn't cause them any more trouble, that would be the best outcome.

"You guys, get lost too!" Wang Chao coldly stared at Dong Cong and the others.

"Did you hear that? Brother Wang said to get lost!" Zhao Lu scolded them.

"Okay, okay, we're leaving!" Dong Cong and the others got back into their cars, started the engines, and sped away as fast as rabbits.

At this point, Fang Cheng and his friends were also scared and quickly left like a pack of stray dogs.

After dealing with these people, the scene finally calmed down.

At this point, all the staff in the restaurant looked at Wang Chao and Li Han with very different eyes.

Dong Cong was a well-known second-generation rich man in Canton City who was arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone.

As a result, he fell into Wang Chao's hands, which showed that Wang Chao was not an ordinary person.

"Mom, from now on, this diner is yours, and so are the employees. As for the supply channels, you can ask the previous owner for more information, I believe he won't dare to hide anything from you," said Wang Chao.

"I'll take care of that. I have a food company in Canton City, and I'll supply you with goods at wholesale prices," Qin Feng said, trying to please them.

Zhao Lu asked him to personally give the money to Wang Chao and explained to him the relationship between Wang Chao and herself. If she could establish a good relationship with Wang Chao, it would be beneficial to her.

Li Han was still a little surprised and asked, "Is this appropriate?"

"Auntie, my company is nearby. As long as you make a phone call, I will deliver the goods to your door immediately," Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you then."

Wang Chao was very generous and directly agreed to help Li Han.

"Miss Zhao, Master Qin, I really appreciate your help this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have done." Li Han was very grateful, tears streaming down her face as she held the hands of Zhao Lu and Qin Feng.

"Auntie, we're all on the same side, you don't have to be so polite. Your clothes are wet, let's go change into a new set first." Zhao Lu smiled.

Li Han's hair was wet and her clothes were soaked from being splashed with alcohol by Fang Cheng earlier, making her look very disheveled.

"I'm okay," Li Han smiled.

"No, Auntie, you must take care of your health. I have a clean set of clothes in my car that I bought for my mother. Let me take you to change." Zhao Lu warmly and generously pulled Li Han into her car, even driving away her driver so she could help Li Han change her clothes.

Soon, Li Han was wearing a beautiful, high-end and fashionable outfit, and her hair had been dried by the wind and no longer looked wet.

In the past eight years, Li Han had suffered a lot and had a thin figure with dry and yellowish skin. Even if she wore nice clothes, it could not hide her bitterness.

Li Han obviously had not worn such a high-end outfit before, and was particularly cautious in her movements, afraid of getting it dirty. She even repeatedly promised to return the clothes to Zhao Lu once she had washed them clean the next day, appearing very humble.

Zhao Lu was very generous and insisted on giving the clothes to Li Han.

"No, Miss Zhao, this outfit is so high-end and doesn't suit me. Moreover, I cannot accept such an expensive gift without doing anything in return." Li Han declined.

Seeing her mother's humble appearance with white hair, Wang Chao felt uneasy and his hatred for Wang Lin deepened.

"Auntie looks very good in this outfit and has a good temperament," praised Qin Feng.

Wang Chao pulled Li Han to the street vendor, clapped his hands and said, "All staff, gather!"

Upon hearing this, the employees immediately walked over, looking very wary and afraid of Wang Chao.

"Starting from today, my mom is the boss of this street vendor. This is her first time being a boss, so you can't bully her!"

Wang Chao glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "But as long as you work well, the business here will definitely thrive, and you will benefit from it."

"Do you understand?"

"Understood!" The employees immediately nodded.

Jokingly, if Wang Chao could kick Dong Cong's cousin, how could they dare to bully Wang Chao's mother?

"Mom, can you say a few words?" Wang Chao said.

Li Han looked at so many people and felt very uncomfortable, and a bit stage fright, blushing and nervous.

She had always been a worker, and now suddenly became a boss, she could not adapt to this kind of situation at all. She opened her mouth and stuttered a few words.

If it weren't for Wang Chao, she wouldn't be able to handle the situation at all.

After speaking, Li Han hurriedly pulled Wang Chao aside and stared at him with great concern, "Wang Chao, can you tell me what's going on with the two million? How did you earn it?"

Her eyes were still very worried, afraid that Wang Chao would make a mistake or go down the wrong path.

That was two million, the money she couldn't earn in decades of work, and Wang Chao had earned it all at once, how could she not worry?

Wang Chao looked at her seriously and said, "Mom, if I told you I have one billion, would you believe me?"

Li Han's expression changed drastically, she grabbed Wang Chao's hand in a panic, her face turning pale, and said, "Son, your mom has a weak heart, don't scare me. Did someone trick you into doing something bad? Was the money stolen, or how did you get it?"

"Listen to your mom, don't go and hang out with some bad guys anymore, let's work hard and be down-to-earth, okay?"

One billion!

She never thought she would have so much money and instinctively thought that Wang Chao had done something bad again.

"I earned it." Wang Chao said.

"You're cheating people again. How can a normal person earn so much money in just eight years?" Li Han clearly didn't believe him.

Seeing Li Han so nervous, Wang Chao felt heartbroken.

His mother had lived at the bottom of society for years, had no idea how vast the world was, and had no clue about the many ways to earn money. When she heard about so much money, she assumed he had either stolen or robbed it.

Poverty restricted his mother's imagination!

As a current soldier, he was in high demand, with people lining up from the east to the west, offering oil fields or gold mines, all calculated in billions.

However, he could not explain these things to Li Han.

"Mom, I was just joking with you. I don't have that much money," Wang Chao said with a smile.

"You little brat! Are you kidding me?"

Li Han breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Wang Chao. "What about Miss Zhao and the two million she gave you?"

"I saved her grandfather, and the two million was her way of repaying me," Wang Chao explained.

"How many times have I told you, saving someone's life is worth more than building a seven-story pagoda. We don't save people for the sake of repayment, but out of our own kindness," Li Han lectured.

"Yes, yes, I know. But the Zhao family insisted on giving it to me," Wang Chao said helplessly.

"Since they gave it to us, we can only accept it. Let's try to do well in the business and then return the money to them," Li Han said.

"Okay."

Wang Chao nodded, walked over to the cash register, and handed the money to Li Han, saying, "In that case, the things at the roadside diner are ours. Mom, you take this money first."

Li Han frowned slightly but ultimately took the money and put it in her pocket.

At that moment, Zhao Lu walked over and asked, "Wang, can you go see my grandfather tomorrow?"

"No problem. Give me an address, and I'll go after work tomorrow," Wang Chao said.

Zhao Lu was overjoyed.

After exchanging contact information, Zhao Lu and Qin Feng left.

Wang Chao had originally planned to take his mother home to rest, but Li Han insisted on staying and working in the roadside diner.

Helplessly, he could only accompany his mother and work until after three in the morning before closing up.

After packing up, Wang Chao was about to leave.

But Li Han grabbed him and said mysteriously, "Don't go back yet. Come with me somewhere."

She turned and walked into the darkness.

Wang Chao hurriedly followed, wondering where Li Han was taking him.
