A Chain Of Restaurants (1)

At that time, Gu Qingyao had just moved overseas, found her mother and settled down. She subsequently visited Hong Kong many times. She met this woman on her second trip there.0

She was in desperate straits at that time. Her mother needed money for medical bills, and she herself was terminally ill. As for her own illness, the hospital might not be able to cure her even if she had the money. The girl was in despair.

Fortunately, Gu Qingyao appeared and saved her and her mother. From then on, she had followed Gu Qingyao.

Her name was Chen Ke. She used to be a daughter of a wealthy family in the capital. Unfortunately, her father had career problems and then passed away after an illness. Everyone kicks a man who is down. She and her mother were bullied too.

Especially in the circumstances that were prevalent ten years ago. Her family was not doing well, and her well-to-do boyfriend abandoned her. She could not stand it anymore, and so she fled to Hong Kong.

Chen Ke's mother's family used to be in the restaurant business. Gu Qingyao had initially been interested in this line, and coincidentally, Chen Ke showed talent in this area, so they started right away.

At the time, Chen Ke was Jin Jiang Restaurants' chief executive officer. She not only drew a high salary but also owned fifty percent of the shares.

These were not the shares from the restaurant that Gu Qingyao had first opened but shares belonging to the entire Jin Jiang Restaurant Group. As the business grew, Chen Ke's yearly share of dividends also grew.

Now, she had successfully become a very wealthy woman. Soon, her assets would grow even more.

A life of luxury and food from all over the world!

Jin Jiang Restaurants sourced its ingredients from all over the world. This included all kinds of rare delicacies and delicious ingredients. To dine at one of their restaurants was akin to dining all over the world.

Most crucial was their alcohol selection. Besides those that were available on the market, some special alcohols were only available in their restaurants.

There were red wines and white wines. There were smooth vintages and strong liquors!

There were even two types of sweet fruit wine. These were provided to especially appeal to female consumers and were meant to maintain a woman's youth and beauty. They were especially popular.

Only Jin Jiang Restaurant customers could try these wines as they were not sold anywhere else. Also, only elite members could drink the best alcohol.

Every time they launched a new product, the elite members would snap it up!

The restaurant headquarters was currently in Hong Kong, but it had branches all over Europe.

Gu Qingyao had been there for six years and had Qiao Jewelry and the entire Qiao family to smoothen her way, plus Qin Zhiyuan to help her. Most importantly, Gu Qingyao had saved a workaholic from a noble family, who had been told he would not have long to live. To her surprise, he turned out to be a gourmet. When he had tried the best dishes the restaurant had to offer, he insisted that Gu Qingyao open a branch in his hometown, or he would have to leave the country every time he wanted to eat there.

With his help and the restaurants' own great strengths, they expanded rapidly.

This showed Chen Ke how good Gu Qingyao's connections were, and she followed Gu Qingyao even more faithfully.

Now they were in China, she could finally hold her head up high in front of those who had bullied her!

They had chosen a location for the restaurant. In fact, Gu Qingyao had chosen it herself. It was located on the busiest shopping street. Gu Qingyao had already purchased the tract of land, and Chen Ke had renovated it according to her instructions. They were just waiting to start their business!

After Gu Qingyao inspected it, she nodded. "Not bad. We can open for business. I've already prepared the ingredients for you. This is the address for the warehouse. The warehouses behind have been constructed, you can just put your supplies there."

Gu Qingyao handed the address of the warehouse to Chen Ke and said, "I've prepared the alcohol. I'll send it to you later. In the future, I will provide the high-end ingredients and alcohol. The rest can be purchased according to our usual workflow."
