Transfer

The next morning, Jiang Feng went to the shop with two huge dark circles under his eyes.

He had fought with the game all night yesterday. There was no customer service, no reporting function, no complaints. In this game with nothing, Earth players had no human rights.

The main quest was still ???

Jiang Feng was starting to suspect that the game's owner had skipped town after racking up 350 million universe coins from gambling and drinking, taking his sister-in-law with him.

Fortunately, the items obtained in the game could still be used normally.

Even though he only had a Preservation Box and a Promotional Standee.

In the morning, before business opened, Jiang Feng was in the kitchen, being directed by Jiang Weiguo to simmer soup.

Professor Li walked into the Healthy Stir-fry Restaurant carrying a briefcase.

"Uncle, you're back from your meeting in Beiping?" Wang Xiulian greeted him while wiping a table.

Professor Li smiled and nodded at her, then asked, "Is Xiao Feng here? I have some documents that need his signature."

"Documents?" Wang Xiulian's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a look of sternness. "Did that little brat cause trouble at school again?"

"No," Professor Li chuckled, opening his briefcase and taking out a thick stack of documents to hand to Wang Xiulian. "These are the transfer papers for a restaurant property. It's under my father's name. He called me a few nights ago and asked me to transfer this restaurant to Xiao Feng."

Wang Xiulian took the documents. The dense clauses made her head spin, but she could understand the few large characters at the top.

"Tai Feng Lou Transfer Agreement"

What was Tai Feng Lou? She vaguely remembered her father mentioning it.

Wang Xiulian's intuition told her something big had happened.

"Jian Guo, Xiao Feng, Dad, come out quickly! Something's happened!" Wang Xiulian yelled at the top of her lungs.

Five minutes later.

The four of them, each holding a copy of the documents, flipped through them in silence.

"No, Junming, this is too valuable. Our family can't accept it. I'll talk to Uncle. Xiao Feng can't accept this!" Jiang Weiguo didn't quite understand things like restaurant transfers, share transfers, or deed transfers. But he had grown up in Tai Feng Lou and knew its location and size too well. Although he hadn't been back to Beiping since, he usually checked the news on his phone and knew that a house in Beiping's Second Ring Road cost tens of millions. So what about Tai Feng Lou?

Hundreds of millions?

Over a billion?

Jiang Weiguo didn't have the nerve to let his Jiang family accept over a billion worth of property from someone else for free.

Jiang Feng was also stunned.

Although he hadn't seen the full extent of Tai Feng Lou, he had at least been in the kitchen and had some impression of it.

That was a restaurant in Beiping, a standalone building!

It had actually been preserved until now!

Jiang Jiankang and his wife also knew their place and both stated they couldn't accept it.

Professor Li persuaded them, "Weiguo, Tai Feng Lou originally belonged to your Jiang family. My father searched for your brothers for more than half a century. I'm not entirely clear about what happened back then, but I know some of it."

"My mother bought this restaurant in Year 37 of the Republic of China. When she was still alive, she always said that Tai Feng Lou was originally ancestral property of the Jiang family. Later, because her father gambled away the family fortune by smoking opium, Tai Feng Lou changed hands. Then, due to the war, they moved from the Three Eastern Provinces to Beiping. Later... alas. By the time of rehabilitation, my mother had already passed away. The government returned Tai Feng Lou, but it was in a terrible state. My father spent a lot of effort restoring it to its original condition. Keeping it was always with the hope that one day we could find you and continue to run Tai Feng Lou."

"Our family doesn't have any talent for business, and I don't have any children. Xiao Feng is my junior, and since my father has decided to transfer Tai Feng Lou to Xiao Feng, we should listen to him."

"No, absolutely not," Jiang Weiguo's attitude was firm.

Did he not want Tai Feng Lou?

Of course, he did.

Jiang Weiguo still remembered that when Jiang Chengde was fleeing, he used his last bit of money to buy him a ticket to the Magic City, gave him the last steamed bun, and told him to make something of himself and return to Beiping with honor to buy back Tai Feng Lou.

He wanted Tai Feng Lou, but it had to be bought back by the Jiang family with their own hard-earned money, not as a gift from relatives.

"How about this," Professor Li said, seeing that all four members of the Jiang family disagreed. "I came here this time intending for Xiao Feng to sign the documents and then go to Beiping with me to complete the procedures. Otherwise, we can amend the terms. We can find a notary public to appraise the total value of Tai Feng Lou and sell it to you. The payment can be made in installments."

Professor Li said this, but he had no intention of accepting any money.

Wang Xiulian was hesitant.

She could tell that her father-in-law really wanted Tai Feng Lou.

But how much would a restaurant in Beiping cost?

At least hundreds of millions, right?

Just owing her second brother's family 800,000 made her so frugal that she was reluctant to buy the freshest ingredients. Owing hundreds of millions all at once?

Wang Xiulian's small-town heart couldn't quite handle it.

Jiang Weiguo was tempted.

His biggest dream as a child was to defeat his six older brothers and become the future head chef of Tai Feng Lou. His later dream was to save enough money to return to Beiping and buy back Tai Feng Lou.

More than half a century had passed in the blink of an eye, and he had never returned to Beiping.

Now, the transfer documents for Tai Feng Lou were laid out clearly before him, and the recipient was his grandson. He couldn't even find a reason to refuse.

"Okay," Jiang Weiguo agreed.

At the same time, a prompt sounded in Jiang Feng's mind.

"Ding, an optional main quest discovered: [Reopening]Reopen Tai Feng Lou in Beiping City."

"What about you, Xiao Feng?" Professor Li looked at Jiang Feng.

"Okay." Jiang Feng couldn't refuse.

Billions in debt.

Jiang Feng's legs felt a little weak.

But he knew this wasn't just about completing a game quest, it was also about fulfilling his grandfather's wish.

Jiang Feng knew all too well how much his grandfather talked about Tai Feng Lou growing up. If Tai Feng Lou could truly flourish again under their management, his grandfather would probably be so excited he'd take over as head chef.

"Xiao Feng, come with me to Beiping tomorrow to handle the transfer procedures," Professor Li said. "However, the restaurant hasn't been managed for probably seven or eight years. It might still be a bit difficult to reopen."

Professor Li was giving them a heads-up.

Anyway, when he saw Tai Feng Lou during his meeting in Beiping this time, it looked like a poorly preserved historical relic.

He estimated that the renovation alone would cost a considerable sum.
