348: Who wants your kidney?

The next day, the two of them slept until almost 11 AM before getting up.

Pan Han was the first to wake up. He called the middle-aged man and told him to wait for him to have lunch.

"Friend, I just went down to check out. The front desk said I could stay as long as I wanted. What does that mean?" the middle-aged man asked over the phone.

"Yes, feel free to stay. This hotel is mine," Pan Han replied.

"Ah? This hotel is yours?"

"That's right."

"Then you really are a big Boss!"

"Haha, exactly. How's your daughter?"

"She's doing great. She was just talking about you, asking if Uncle Pan was coming today."

"Tell her I'll be there soon. We'll have something delicious to eat."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Xiaoli also opened her eyes and was looking at him with affection.

"What's wrong? Why the lewd expression?" Pan Han pinched her slender cheek.

"I suddenly realized you're really handsome."

"That shouldn't be. You just realized it? I've always been this handsome."

"No. Men with kind hearts are surprisingly handsome."

"You haven't fallen in love with me, have you? I don't want to be in a relationship."

"Who's in love with you? Besides, what is a relationship? Even dogs don't bother with that stuff." Yan Xiaoli exposed half of her buttocks, her legs clamping the quilt. She said she wasn't interested, but her eyes were full of love.

"Hurry up and get dressed. Today, we need to arrange some things for this father." Pan Han patted Yan Xiaoli's butt.

As soon as she heard there was something to do, Yan Xiaoli immediately returned to her normal demeanor and got out of bed to wash up and put on makeup.

Pan Han simply tidied up the room, then took out twenty thousand in cash. The two of them then set off by car.

At 12 PM, Pan Han and Yan Xiaoli arrived downstairs at the hotel. They found a place to park the car and went straight to the father and daughter's room.

"Uncle Pan, Auntie, you're here!" When the little girl saw Pan Han and Yan Xiaoli, she immediately jumped off the bed happily and circled around them.

Pan Han looked at her, finding it hard to believe that this was a leukemia patient.

Although she was plagued by illness, she still showed her best side to others!

"Damn it! Are you blind, God?" Pan Han couldn't help but curse in his heart.

The rope always breaks at its weakest point, and misfortune always finds the unfortunate!

"That's right! Uncle Pan is treating you to a meal today, and he also wants to talk to your father about something. After we eat, Auntie will take you to play, okay?" Pan Han said, stroking the little girl's head with affection.

"Uncle Pan, my name is Little Ling. Can you call me by my name from now on?" Little Ling looked at Pan Han expectantly.

"Of course I can! Little Ling, you're the best, we all like you." Pan Han's eyes suddenly blurred for some reason, a thin mist covering his eyes.

"Uncle Pan, Auntie, what are your names?" Little Ling straightened her back with some pride when she heard Pan Han praise her.

"You can call me Uncle Pan from now on, and just call her Sister Yan."

"How did I get demoted a generation??" Yan Xiaoli looked utterly bewildered! She certainly preferred to be called 'Sister' rather than 'Auntie'.

But Pan Han was clearly taking advantage of her!

Forget it, he had taken plenty of advantage last night, so this little bit wouldn't make a difference.

The middle-aged man saw that Pan Han was still so witty and humorous, and he also started to laugh.

"Boss Pan, Miss Yan, my name is Qin Hongbing, and my daughter is Qin Little Ling. If you don't mind, just call me Old Qin." The middle-aged man introduced himself and his daughter.

"Old Qin, I just like people named Qin." Pan Han thought of Qin Zhong from Dawn Base.

"Boss Pan, you said you had something to discuss with me. What exactly is it?" Qin Hongbing asked.

"Let's go, let's go downstairs to eat first." As he spoke, Pan Han picked up Little Ling and led everyone straight to a chain fast-food restaurant downstairs.

"You go take Little Ling to order. She can order whatever she likes. I'm fine with anything. Order a big meal for Old Qin." After they sat down, Pan Han told Yan Xiaoli to arrange it.

"Alrighty." Yan Xiaoli took Little Ling's hand, and the two of them skipped off to order food.

Seeing them walk away, Qin Hongbing's expression suddenly became serious, and he whispered, "Boss Pan, let's be clear upfront, I can only contribute one kidney."

"?????" Pan Han was full of questions.

"Do you want my heart??" Qin Hongbing nervously clutched his chest, his eyes showing a hint of fear.

"Old Qin, what do you mean? I don't understand."

"Boss Pan, we are strangers who met by chance. You're helping me so much. Are you interested in my organs?"

It turned out that Qin Hongbing had mistaken Pan Han for someone looking for organs.

Pan Han almost burst out laughing. He had tens of thousands of corpses lying in his space, still fresh.

Would he be short of organs??

"Boss Pan, a kidney is fine. But my heart really isn't an option. I still have to take care of Little Ling. What would she do if I were gone?"

"Alright, alright. Old Qin, keep your kidney safe. No one is eyeing it." Pan Han quickly reassured him.

"Then, Boss Pan, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?" Qin Hongbing nervously rubbed his hands together.

"What do you think of these few restaurants downstairs?" Pan Han looked up, surveyed his surroundings, and motioned for him to also take a look.

Qin Hongbing looked up, then looked out the window, and pondered for a moment.

"This place is very good. The location is good, there's a lot of foot traffic, it's a good place to open a restaurant. It's just that the rent definitely isn't cheap. If you use good ingredients, there's an 80% chance you won't make much profit." Qin Hongbing had run a restaurant for a few years before, so he had some understanding.

That night, after Pan Han learned that he had run a restaurant, he wanted Qin Hongbing to manage the first National Restaurant.

"What if I were to take over all these restaurants here and integrate them into one large restaurant?" Pan Han finally stopped beating around the bush and began to discuss business with Qin Hongbing.

"That depends on what kind of food you make. Hotpot might still have some profit. If it's a regular stir-fry restaurant, it's highly unlikely to make money." Qin Hongbing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Pan Han wanted to talk about opening a restaurant.

Pan Han also nodded. Chefs were too expensive now, and opening a high-end restaurant here was clearly not suitable. If he opened a regular restaurant, wages and rent would eat up most of the profits.

"I want to open an affordable fast-food restaurant."

"You're taking over all four restaurants, and then opening a fast-food restaurant?? Isn't that a bit wasteful?" Qin Hongbing asked in surprise.

He genuinely didn't understand this move.

"Hmm. And the prices need to be very cheap, the kind that ordinary people are willing to come and eat." Pan Han nodded.

"Boss Pan, you won't make money this way. Unless you use technology and dirty tricks." Qin Hongbing lowered his voice and leaned in to whisper.

"Who said I wanted to make money?" Pan Han thought of Yan Xiaoli from last night; the questions they asked were similar.

"Boss Pan, if you're not making money, why bother?"

"It's just so that when someone doesn't have money for food, they can still have a hot meal." Pan Han looked at Qin Hongbing with burning eyes, a sincerity passing through his gaze... Qin Hongbing's expression froze, as if struck by lightning, and he stood rooted to the spot.

During his time seeking medical treatment in the capital, he had experienced countless instances of human indifference and inhumane treatment; he knew it all too well.

But he hadn't told anyone, keeping it all bottled up inside.

He even thought about jumping into a river with Little Ling to commit suicide, but looking at his daughter's innocent eyes, he gave up on that idea.

But living, it was truly difficult!

Now, Pan Han not only gave him money but also let him stay in a hotel for free, and now he was even thinking about helping others who were also in need.

Could there really be such a kind-hearted person in this world??

Gradually, Qin Hongbing's eyes welled up. The grievances and sadness that had been suppressed in his heart for two years all surged to the surface.

If a forty-year-old man wants to cry, please believe him!

"Old Qin, are you willing to be the manager of such a restaurant?" Pan Han saw Qin Hongbing choking up, unable to control himself, and knowing the time was right, he extended the invitation to him.

"I am willing!" Qin Hongbing nodded vigorously.
