186 Chapter 1

She saw a chubby, middle-aged man standing before her when she woke up. She quickly stood up from the chair and demanded, “Who are you? Why did you capture me?”

“Chunhong, who lives in Shanghe village and has a widowed mother. Previously, you were an assistant chef in a manor in Xiahe village. You were also the one who passed on Miss Qiao’s message to Gu Chengrui.” The man turned around and sat on the chair opposite her.

“You’re… you’re Manager Wang of the original Dongxin Restaurant? Chunhong sized him up and asked in disbelief.

“It seems that your memory is decent.” Wang Quan nodded in satisfaction.

“W, why did you bring me here?”

“For my use.”

“No, I refuse.”

“Do you think you can refuse?” Wang Quan sneered.

When Chunhong heard this, she quickly looked around and saw two big men standing guard outside the door. She immediately asked softly, “What do you want me to do?”

“You also know that Dongxin Restaurant was originally mine. I just want to take it back.”

“But that’s impossible. “I heard that the Grassland Taste Restaurant, like the Hongyun restaurant, is under General Zhou.”

“Don’t worry about that. If you want to live a good life, you better just listen to me.”

“What do you want me to do?”

“Get a way to work inside Grassland Taste Restaurant and get the recipe for the hot pot. Ultimately, make Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying fall out.”

Chunhong didn’t understand what he meant at first, but she quickly realized that he was asking her to seduce Gu Chengrui.

Thinking of Miss Qiao getting rejected and Zhou Ying’s appearance, she shook her head. “I’m afraid it won’t work. You’d better find a more beautiful woman to do it.”

“This job is yours. As long as you follow my plan, I promise to make you the manager of Grassland Taste Restaurant.” After Wang Quan finished speaking, he pulled her into the house.

When Chunhong saw this, she immediately had a bad feeling in her heart. She immediately struggled and said, “I’ll do it. I’ll do it, alright? Just let me go.”

“How will you do what I say if I let you go?” Wang Quan laughed and pushed her onto the bed in his room, then ripped off her clothes and pounced on her.

“Ah! No, no! Let me go! I beg you, let me go! I’ll promise you anything!” Chunhong shouted with distress.

However, her cries for help were soon muffled.

When she came out again, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red and swollen, and there was even blood at the corner of her mouth.

The clothes on her body were torn and tattered, and she looked like a ragdoll that had been dismembered.

Wang Quan, who was behind her, walked out in a refreshed manner. “Someone, help her wash up and get her a change of clothes.”

After he finished speaking, he left the room in big strides.

Soon, two maids came in with a basin. They gave her a simple wash and changed her into a set of neat, coarse clothes; then, they turned around and walked out.

Chunhong returned to her senses, picked up her bag, and ran out.

At that moment, Wang Quan stepped back in, and she was so frightened that she immediately retreated.

Seeing this, Wang Quan stepped forward and pinched her little face with a smile. “Silly girl, I’m helping you here.”

Afterward, he pulled her to a chair and told her some things in a low voice. “After this matter is done, you will not be short of glory, splendor, wealth, or status.”

After hearing this, Chunhong only looked at him angrily and did not reply.

“It’s wrong of you to hate me. You should hate Gu Chengrui and his wife. Would you have to be in this state if it weren’t for them? Remember, you don’t have much time,” Wang Quan threatened. “You have to hurry. Otherwise, you and your mother…”

At this point, a cold light flashed in Wang Quan’s eyes, and he continued, “Don’t play any tricks with me. From now on, you will always be under my surveillance.”
