CHAPTER 767: CHAPTER 770 THE PERSON BEHIND HAS BEEN FOUND

The next day, Li Fuyou still decided to go and see the situation at the restaurant in the town below.

As the reports from below indicated, not a single customer was coming through the doors.

People passing by the entrance of Dongfeng Restaurant would point fingers and talk in hushed tones.

"This is the one, don’t go eat there, the restaurants of the county have all had cockroaches found in them."

"Their kitchen is crawling with lots of cockroaches and rats, it’s disgusting."

"It’s so unclean, who would dare to go? What if you get sick or even die from eating there."

"Now it’s been sealed by the government office, but why not seal the restaurant in the town as well? They should seal it too, to prevent harming others."

"..."

"..."

All these words entered Li Fuyou’s ears, and his eyes turned dark and frightful; he sneered with downcast eyes. He even started to doubt his own abilities, as he had only taken over Dongfeng Restaurant for a few months and had already led the Li Family to this state.

The shopkeeper of Dongfeng Restaurant was still trying desperately to clarify and retain customers.

"Everyone, please listen to me. Dongfeng Restaurant was framed. The food we make is absolutely clean. If you don’t believe it, you can follow me inside to see for yourselves. We would never joke with our customers’ health and lives. Moreover, the government office will soon clear up this matter and restore Dongfeng Restaurant’s reputation."

But no matter how the shopkeeper of Dongfeng Restaurant tried to argue, no one was buying it, and no one was willing to go back to that restaurant to dine.

"The government office has already sealed it, how could it be false? Even if you clean it now, we won’t go there."

"Yes, knowing that there’s a history of problems, who would still go eat there? If something happens again, who here is foolish enough to risk it?"

"Exactly, exactly."

"..."

"..."

Faced with this situation, Li Fuyou knew clearly that Dongfeng Restaurant was utterly doomed. To regain trust and start anew, they might only be able to change the name and come back with a fresh slate.

He looked up at the sign of their restaurant. The four big characters of Dongfeng Restaurant—was this really the end of the road for them? His heart was filled with bitterness.

The first step for Dongfeng Restaurant to make a comeback was for the government office to lift the seal, but this step was utterly impossible.

Because that official Li wouldn’t be swayed by Silver and had made such an excessive demand.

How could he...

He clenched his fists tightly, holding back his unwillingness, but had to admit that he had lost completely this time. The Chu Family’s young master was truly more skilled, forcing him into a corner with the same move.

Now, thinking of what the people said, it was very likely that official Li would unreasonally seal the restaurant in the town, and by then, the Li Family would be completely finished.

Li Fuyou no longer had the luxury to oppose the Chu Family’s young master. What he needed to do was to step back and seek to preserve the Li Family’s assets for a future resurgence.

As he was contemplating this, Amo arrived.

"Young master, the person backing Yuelai Restaurant has been found."

"Who is it?" Li Fuyou’s eyes flashed with excitement, his heart filled with great joy. Was this a sign that there’s always a silver lining? With this person, the Li Family’s resurgence was hopeful.

"Young master, the other party did not reveal their name, but we have arranged a meeting. They said we could meet tonight, and the location is at our Dongfeng Restaurant in Shibao Town," Amo replied, also pleased to have found that person.

This news was undoubtedly great for Li Fuyou. "Then let’s head to Shibao Town right now."
