Border Soldiers: My granaries are full of grain and meat, and I guard this region.

As soon as Qi Feng pushed open the door, he saw a large crowd gathered outside the Ye Family Restaurant.

Many of them were just drawn over to watch the spectacle; only the four people at the very front were actually shouting and hawking.

Qi Feng recognized one of them as Li Fu from yesterday. The other three were dressed in gorgeous clothes with an undisguised arrogant expression on their faces, while the other two were dressed as servants and were struggling to shout orders.

Upon seeing the Ye Family Restaurant open its doors, the two servants who had been shouting fell silent. The young nobleman, dressed in splendid attire, was stunned when he realized that it was Qi Feng who opened the door, and immediately questioned Li Fu, who was standing to the side.

"Why was it a man who opened the door! Where is Ye Zhiwan?!"

Those around them were also talking about it, wondering if the Ye Family Restaurant had changed owners, otherwise why would a man be opening the door today?

"Huh? Could it be that Manager Ye secretly sold the restaurant?"

"Who says otherwise! Otherwise, why would a man have opened the door today?"

"Maybe Manager Ye is already married! This man might even be Manager Ye's husband!"

"I haven't heard anything about that. If Manager Ye really got married, we haven't seen her in the past few years!"

Hearing the surrounding chatter, the young nobleman was clearly angry, but Li Fu quickly explained:

"Young Master Wang, this man is not Ye Zhiwan's man; he is a brewing worker whom Ye Zhiwan has rehired!"

"It was he who instigated Ye Zhiwan to make that bet with us yesterday! If we win, this Ye Family Restaurant will be ours!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dun narrowed his eyes and glanced at Qi Feng again.

They lingered particularly on Qi Feng's clothes.

"Hmph! So he's just a peasant!"

Hearing the commotion, Ye Zhiwan also came out of the Ye Family Restaurant. The moment she saw Wang Dun, she frowned.

"Wang Dun! It's you again! You bought my tools and equipment while my Ye Family Restaurant was closed for business, and now what are you doing here!"

Wang Dun was not angry at all when he heard Ye Zhiwan's words. Instead, he stared at Ye Zhiwan's delicate face without restraint.

"Miss Ye, you're being a bit biased. As the saying goes, people strive for higher positions, and water flows downhill. It's not that I bought them, but the price I offered was indeed much higher than your Ye Family Restaurant! You can't stop them from pursuing a better life!"

"As for why you've come here now, Miss Ye should know very well. Yesterday, I heard from Li Fu that Miss Ye wanted to make a bet with me to see whose wine is better. If we win, Miss Ye will hand over the Ye Family Restaurant to me. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiwan subconsciously looked at Qi Feng, a scene that Wang Dun happened to witness, causing him to clench his fist.

If he still can't determine what's going on between the two by this point, then he's lived in vain!

"Hmph! I never expected that Manager Ye, who usually keeps a low profile, would actually have a man now!"

Ye Zhiwan frowned, about to curse, when she saw Qi Feng step forward.

"I saw someone spewing nonsense first thing in the morning; you'd think someone's dog had run away!"

Those around Qi Feng burst out laughing upon hearing his words, while Wang Dun's face turned ashen.

"Who are you! Do you even know who I am? How dare you speak to me like that!"

Qi Feng picked at his ear and scoffed, "I don't know who you are. I only know that some dogs eat shit in the morning and then run out to bite people without wiping their mouths."

"You!" Wang Dun was about to start cursing when Li Fu stepped forward and pulled him back.

"Young Master Wang, let's not stoop to the level of this peasant. As long as Ye Zhiwan makes a good bet with you, do we still need to worry about him? In the end, not only will Ye Family Restaurant be yours, but Ye Zhiwan will also be yours!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dun suppressed his anger and turned to look at Ye Zhiwan.

"Manager Ye, I have only one question: does yesterday's bet still stand? Does your Ye Family Restaurant dare to make a bet with Laixiang Restaurant?"

Ye Zhiwan stepped forward. Having personally tasted Qi Feng's wine yesterday, she was very confident in his abilities and naturally felt no stage fright whatsoever.

"What is there to be afraid of!"

Wang Dun grinned maliciously, "Fine! Then let's gamble on drinks! Meet me at Laixiang Pavilion in three days! I'll invite the entire city to come and sample your wine! If you lose, your Ye Family Restaurant will be mine!"

"Furthermore..." Wang Dun's gaze swept freely over Ye Zhiwan, "If Manager Ye loses, how about you take over the restaurant and all the people with you? If Manager Ye comes with me, we will naturally no longer distinguish between you and me. I will also return all the people in the Ye Family Restaurant, and Manager Ye can continue as usual."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiwan raised her eyebrows and said, "Bah! You should take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror! If I lose the bet, the Ye Family Restaurant will naturally be handed over to me with both hands, but what if you lose!"

Wang Dun sneered, a look of disdain on his face.

"I lost? If I did lose, I would naturally hand over Lai Xiang Lou with both hands!"

"Is it a deal?"

"It's a deal!"

When Ye Zhiwan heard Wang Dun say it himself, her eyes narrowed immediately, and she bowed to the crowd of onlookers.

"Gentlemen, as you all know today, there is a bet between Lai Xiang Lou and my Ye Family Restaurant. I ask that you all serve as witnesses to prevent anyone from reneging on their promises later!"

Wang Dun did the same, only his tone was more sarcastic and bitter.

"Whether you admit it or not isn't something you can just say. If Manager Ye gets scared, you can come to me beforehand to admit defeat. For Manager Ye's sake, I won't let you lose too badly."

"Let's go!"

After leaving a message, Wang Dun immediately took Li Fu and left, returning to Laixianglou.

Wang Dun had already made his plans. Relying solely on Li Fu would not be enough. In the next three days, he would invite renowned winemakers from Fuxing County and even surrounding major cities to come in person. This time, he was determined to take over the Ye Family Restaurant.

Once Wang Dun takes over Ye Family Restaurant, he doesn't believe Ye Zhiwan will continue to be a virtuous woman!

"Now that you've managed to find a random man, I'd like to see if you'll still be able to put on that act in front of me when your Ye Family Restaurant is gone!"

Wang Dun clenched his fists, his mind filled with thoughts of revenge against Ye Zhiwan when she lost the bet.

......

"Brother Qi, I apologize for taking the liberty of deciding to gamble with him..."

After regaining her senses, Ye Zhiwan came to Qi Feng and lowered her head.

She was momentarily blinded by anger, and knowing how potent Qi Feng's brewed wine was, she readily agreed to Wang Dun's bet.

But when Ye Zhiwan came to her senses, she realized that she hadn't done a good job. No matter what, it was Qi Feng's brewed wine, and by saying that, she was essentially betting with his wine without his permission.

In addition, Qi Feng was the savior of her and her sister Ye Ling Shuang, which made Ye Zhi Wan feel guilty towards Qi Feng.
