chapter 8 Feifei Hua

Han Tang couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder. Thirty years of change, it's amazing how quickly he had Fatty Zhou under his foot. Life was truly strange.
"You, go away. I don't like dealing with dogs."
Fatty Zhou, seeing that his position was untenable, glared at Han Tang with resentment, then left in a huff.
York Li and Henry Yang also left, leaving Han Tang officially in charge of the Li family's secret palace restaurant.
He announced two things to all the employees. First, Usan Le would replace Fatty Zhou as the general manager of the restaurant. Second, the restaurant would close for a week for renovations. The salaries of the retained employees would increase by thirty percent, and for those who were not retained, they would receive an additional three months of pay before leaving.
After the meeting, many employees whispered to each other. Those who had good relationships with Han Tang and Usan Le were all in high spirits, while Fatty Zhou's loyalists wore worried expressions.
Usan Le walked up to Han Tang and said, "Why did you make me the manager?"
"You're the only one suitable for it. I'm just a doctor. I can handle delivering takeout, but managing a restaurant is far beyond me."
Usan Le said, "Do you really trust me this much? Aren't you afraid I'll ruin the restaurant for you?"
"Of course I trust you. Besides, can you be any worse than Fatty Zhou?"
"Don't compare me to that waste. With such a good restaurant, it's making only a few hundred thousand in profit a year. All he can do is bully the waiter."
Han Tang laughed, "You're not going to flirt with the male waiter, are you?"
Usan Le gave Han Tang a teasing look with her beautiful eyes. "You're not a waiter anymore, who would I flirt with?"
Usan Le was a well-known talent at the School of Business Administration of JiangNan University. Unfortunately, she came from a humble background and was already in her senior year, about to start her internship. She was worried about finding a job. Now, Han Tang had given her such a great opportunity to showcase her talent.
"Alright, it's settled then. From now on, the restaurant is all yours."
"What will you do then? Just be an owner who’s always absent?"
Han Tang said, "What else can I do? Should I deliver takeout? After all, I'm the boss now."
Usan Le shrugged, "You're right, you probably wouldn't be good at much else. The finance department needs to be taken over quickly, and we need reliable people for it."
"You're absolutely right. We need to quickly get control of the finances to prevent any foul play. I think we should have Sherry Shi take charge. She's trustworthy, and she was a top student in the School of Finance and Economics."
"Good, I'll go find Sherry now, and then we can work for this wicked capitalist together."
Usan Le had just left when Stan Zhang cautiously approached.
He said with a fawning expression, "Boss... I..."
"Pack up your things and get out!"
Han Tang didn't let him finish. This kind of person couldn't be kept around.
"Boss, I've worked at the restaurant for over ten years, and I do have some skills. Let me stay, I'll definitely satisfy you..."
"I said, pack up and get out."
Stan Zhang saw no hope and could only leave dejectedly. Fatty Zhou had been beaten like a pig's head; he didn't dare say anything more.
"Boss, there's someone outside looking for you," a young waiter rushed up and said.
"Didn't you tell them we're closed for renovations?" Han Tang asked.
"It's not for dining, it's a woman looking for you," the waiter said with a strange expression.
"Alright, I'll go see." Han Tang was puzzled. Why would a woman be looking for him?
In front of the restaurant was a red Hummer, and standing in front of the car was a woman in red. This woman was quite tall, at least 1.75 meters, but her nearly three hundred pounds made her look like a big ball.
The reason why she chose a Hummer might be that other cars couldn't accommodate her large size. No wonder the waiter had such a strange expression; it was rare to see such a heavyset woman in HuaXia City.
"Sis Hua, why are you here?" Han Tang said, surprised at the obese woman.
"Han Tang, are you really going to say that? During the holidays, why didn't you come to my place to work? You'd rather deliver takeout than see me, is that it?"
"Sis Hua, I have a girlfriend."
Seeing Feifei Hua, Han Tang felt a headache coming on. He secretly lamented that being too handsome could also be a nuisance.
Although Hua's family was a top-tier family in JiangNan City, Feifei Hua didn't rely on family connections. She single-handedly built the top pharmaceutical company in HuaXia City, JiangNan Pharmaceutical.
When Han Tang started working at JiangNan Pharmaceutical last year, Feifei Hua saw him, and ever since then, she had been relentlessly pursuing him, insisting on being Han Tang's girlfriend.
Han Tang already had a girlfriend, and besides, Feifei Hua was just too heavy. A three-hundred-pound frame wasn't something every man could bear, at least Han Tang was afraid of being crushed in his sleep at night.
To avoid Feifei Hua, Han Tang secretly came to work at the restaurant, not even telling his dormitory brothers. He didn't expect her to find him anyway.
"Don't talk, get in the car, let's go eat." Feifei Hua grabbed Han Tang and started walking.
"Sis Hua, I still have to work."
"Do you really dislike me that much?" Feifei Hua's chubby face showed a trace of sadness.
"It's not that, I really have to work. I can't afford to go without work like rich people such as you. If I don't work for a day, I won't have food to eat." Han Tang explained.
Feifei Hua took out a card and handed it to Han Tang. "Spend this 200,000 first, if it's not enough, I'll wire you more."
Han Tang smiled bitterly, "Sis Hua, I'm a man. How can I just take your money like this? How can I be considered a man?"
Feifei Hua said with a touch of resentment, "Forget it, I know you won't take it. How many times have you refused? You're always so concerned about your pride. Today is my twenty-fourth birthday, can you accompany me for a meal?"
"Uh... alright, let me ask for a leave first."
As Feifei Hua spoke, Han Tang felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had always been good to him.
After informing Usan Le, Han Tang walked up to the Hummer.
Feifei Hua said, "You drive." When Han Tang worked at JiangNan Pharmacy last year, Feifei Hua arranged for him to get his driver's license, making him her dedicated driver.
Han Tang got into the Hummer, and Feifei Hua got in as well. The spacious Hummer was filled to the brim with her, making it seem quite cramped.
"Sis Hua, you should consider losing weight." Han Tang said.
"Do you think I don't want to? But what can I do? Even diet pills make me gain weight." Feifei Hua was also extremely distressed about her obesity.
"Where are we going, Sis Hua?"
"How about Western cuisine?"
"It's your birthday today, wherever you want to go, we'll go. Whatever you want to eat, we'll eat." Han Tang said.
"Then let's go to Misrian Restaurant."
At the restaurant, Han Tang finally understood why Feifei Hua was so overweight. It wasn't because, as she said, diet pills made her gain weight, but because she simply ate too much.
Han Tang was almost full after eating a piece of steak, but she ate five steaks, three pizzas, a fruit cake, and showed no sign of stopping.
Moreover, Feifei Hua's eating habits were particularly unattractive. She didn't have the demeanour of a wealthy girl. To put it bluntly, she looked more like a pig. She even hummed while eating, "Delicious, delicious."
Han Tang watched Feifei Hua devouring her food with amazement. He couldn't help shaking his head. This was why Feifei Hua could eat so much—she was capable of it.
Suddenly, Han Tang's face changed. He activated his clairvoyant vision and saw a dark shadow above Feifei Hua's head. So that's it, Han Tang finally understood why Feifei Hua could eat so much.
