Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Must Accept No Matter What_1

"What kind of return does this owner give you for investing in his restaurant?" Feng Lijuan asked.

"Seven percent monthly interest," a sister said.

"That high!" Feng Lijuan exclaimed in surprise.

You know, the annual interest rate for a bank deposit is just 2.5%.

This interest rate is much higher than the bank’s.

Her heart was moved, but she was still somewhat uneasy, "With such high interest, wouldn’t the owner be a swindler? What if he takes the money and runs away? You’ll have nowhere to cry."

There’s no helping it, the interest is too high.

It seems unreliable to offer such high interest.

"Lijuan, rest assured, we’ve known the restaurant’s owner for a long time," they said.

"Yes, we’re all old acquaintances, he wouldn’t deceive us."

"The owner is investing three million to renovate the restaurant. He actually has the money, but he just bought a house and temporarily can’t pull together that much cash, which is why we have this investment opportunity."

"He said once the restaurant is renovated and reopens, he’ll immediately repay us after making the money back."

"With this investment, both sides signed a contract, so there’s nothing to worry about."

The sisters chattered away, trying to explain.

"I see," Feng Lijuan pondered, still somewhat concerned.

"Lijuan, several of us have already invested, and we told the owner not to repay us too soon. We agreed to wait until after a full year," they said.

"With the interest compounding, our principal can double."

"The owner is only borrowing three million this time. Once he collects that, even if someone offered him more money, he wouldn’t take it."

The sisters continued to persuade fervently.

Feng Lijuan continued to ponder, without speaking.

"Lijuan, the owner has been running this restaurant for over ten years. The restaurant is right here; it’s not going anywhere. You really don’t need to worry so much," they reassured her.

"Exactly, and after all, we are sisters. If it weren’t a reliable investment, why would we even bring you in?"

"We’ve all invested. None of us are good at other things, but who have you ever seen pull a fast one on us? We’re the ones who do the tricking."

"That’s right, anyone who could deceive us hasn’t been born yet."

Seeing that Feng Lijuan still hadn’t said anything, the sisters kept encouraging her.

Hearing their words, Feng Lijuan finally felt reassured.

Indeed, these sisters might not excel at other things, but duping them was absolutely impossible.

She couldn’t miss this opportunity.

"Alright, since you’ve all invested, I’ll invest too," Feng Lijuan said with a smile.

"Lijuan, how much do you plan to invest?" one sister asked.

"I’ll put in five hundred thousand," Feng Lijuan decided to sell the Audi she had just bought, which cost seven hundred thousand. It should sell for five or six hundred thousand.

Investing five hundred thousand, the rest would be spending money.

"My heavens, five hundred thousand!"

"What’s all the fuss about? Lijuan is different from us. Her son-in-law is a billionaire. For her, pulling out five hundred thousand is nothing big," one explained.

"Right, right, my mistake. If it were me, I couldn’t come up with five hundred thousand even if I sold myself."

"Lijuan, you’re the wealthiest among us sisters. That five hundred thousand will turn into a million in a year’s time. I’m so envious."

"Lijuan, you must treat us to a big meal when you make money," another chimed in.

The sisters babbled on.

"Alright, call the owner over," Feng Lijuan enjoyed this feeling. After the sisters flattered her sufficiently, she waved her hand, signaling them to bring the owner over.

She didn’t mention the falling out with Chen Yuting.

In her view, Chen Yuting was just momentarily angry. As long as she humbled herself a little, Chen Yuting would listen to her again. Ultimately, she would return to Shen Dong’s side, and she would still become Shen Dong’s mother-in-law.

"I’ll call the boss," one of the sisters said as she stood up and left.

It wasn’t long before this sister returned with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was tall and thin, wearing glasses, and he appeared quite refined.

"Lijuan, this is Mr. Hong Maoyang, the owner of the restaurant," the sister introduced.

They greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries.

Then Hong Maoyang asked, "Miss Feng, how much are you planning to invest?"

Feng Lijuan replied, "Five hundred thousand."

Hong Maoyang frowned slightly, looking somewhat troubled. "Miss Feng, I’ve almost borrowed all the money I need, I’m just short of three hundred thousand."

Upon hearing this, Feng Lijuan immediately became anxious.

Investing only three hundred thousand meant earning only that much, which was not satisfactory to her.

She had already made up her mind to make that five hundred thousand.

Feng Lijuan thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Hong, if I invest, it has to be five hundred thousand, not a penny less. If it’s only three hundred thousand, then I’m not investing. You can look for someone else."

Such a good opportunity, not investing more to earn more, would be a disservice to oneself.

"Mr. Hong, it’s just an extra two hundred thousand. Please agree to it."

"Yes, just an extra two hundred thousand; better decor benefits your restaurant as well."

"We came to make an investment specifically for you because we heard you said the money was still not enough. Now you’re fussy about having too much, which really isn’t good enough."

"Exactly, if you don’t want Lijuan’s five hundred thousand investment, then we won’t invest either. We are good sisters with Lijuan and will advance and retreat together."

"That’s right, Mr. Hong, you must take Lijuan’s five hundred thousand investment no matter what."

Several sisters kept persuading Hong Maoyang.

Hong Maoyang gave a wry smile and said helplessly, "Alright, since all of you insist, I shall accept it."

"Good, then it’s settled," Feng Lijuan exclaimed with joy.

An investment of five hundred thousand could earn five hundred thousand in a year.

Double the return, where else could one find such an opportunity.

"Miss Feng, when will you give me the money? I need to prepare the contract," Hong Maoyang asked.

"How about tomorrow? I wasn’t prepared today; I’ll bring the money over tomorrow," Feng Lijuan replied.

"Alright, today’s meal is on the house for everyone. Enjoy your meal," Hong Maoyang said.

"Thank you, Mr. Hong."

"We are fortunate because of Lijuan."

"Yes, if it weren’t for Lijuan, Mr. Hong would not have offered us a free meal."

The sisters were all happy about the free meal.

"You guys go ahead and eat, I’ll take my leave and get busy," Hong Maoyang said as he left the private room.

After the meal,

Feng Lijuan said goodbye to her sisters and drove to the used-car dealership.

After visiting several dealerships, which all offered similar prices of around fifty-something thousand,

she opted for a dealership that quoted fifty-five thousand and sold her car.

Once the paperwork was complete and she had the money in hand, she went home.

...

The next day.

Feng Lijuan slept in until nearly noon. After getting ready, she called Hong Maoyang to confirm he was at the restaurant before taking a taxi there.

Upon arrival, she saw Hong Maoyang already waiting at the entrance.

"Mr. Hong, is the contract ready?" Feng Lijuan asked directly.
