Chapter 69
In the Business Department on the fifth floor of Commercial Pizza Building B, a young woman wearing glasses and office attire welcomed Gilmore and his family.
“Nice to meet you! I’m Irene East, the manager of Commercial Plaza’s Business Department.” Irene, the 24–year–old manager of the Business Department stood up and introduced herself politely with a smile.
Gilmore also smiled as he said, “I am Gilmore Reed. These are my parents and my friend.
He pointed to his parents and Gerald and introduced them.
“Mr. Reed, please sit down.”
Gilmore’s group of four sat down on the office sofa.
Irene also sat down. She adjusted the spectacles on her nose with her hand, looked at Gilmore and said, “Mr. Reed, on the phone just now, you said that you are a well–known restaurant brand. May I know which brand it is!”
An awkward expression immediately appeared on Gilmore’s parents‘ faces.
Gilmore said. “This brand has never been in Newhaven Commercial Plaza before, but it will definitely become the most popular brand in the future.”
Gilmore’s seemingly serious words fooled Irene.
She looked towards Gilmore and could not help but ask, “Could it be that your brand is KFC?”
Gilmore wore a mysterious smile on his face as he gently shook his head. “No.”
“MacDonald’s?”
“No.”
“Shake Shack?”
*No.
Irene listed seven or eight brands in a row, domestic and abroad all brands that have not yet entered into Newhaven Commercial Plaza, but in the end, Gilmore’s answer was still no.
This confused Irene. She looked at Gilmore and asked, “Then may I ask Mr. Reed, what is your brand name…
Only then did Gilmore calmly say, “Evermore Diner”
As soon as Gilmore said the name, Gilmore’s parents‘ eyes immediately widened as if their nerves had been stretched taut.
Gerald, who was seated to one side, was so amused by Gilmore’s trickery that he did not dare to laugh. He desperately tried to suppress his laughter.
Irene was even more puzzled. Evermore Diner?
She searched in her mind for all the well–known domestic and foreign branded food chains. However, she was unable to recall a brand called the Evermore Diner.
Thus, she could only take out her mobile phone and searched for Evermore Diner on Internet
“Sorry, there is no information about Evermore Diner… This was the search result from Google.

+93%!
This time, Irene finally reacted, and her face turned cold. She looked at Gilmore and said, “Mr. Reed, I’m sorry, I didn’t hind the restaurant brand you mentioned.”
Gilmore said very seriously, “Ms. East, it doesn’t matter if you can’t find Evermore Diner, but this brand will become the most popular brand in Newhaven Commercial Plaza in future.”
“Mr. Reed, now I understand. Evermore Diner is not a branded restaurant at all. You are lying to me, aren’t you?” Irene sounded displeased.
Gilmore waved his hand and said, “No, I am not lying to you. Although Evermore Diner is not a branded restaurant now, as long as it opens for a month, it will definitely become the most outstanding restaurant in Newhaven Commercial Plaza.
“I’m sorry. Our Vice President specially told us that the unit number 10 is the most prime location in Commercial Plaza, with a large floor area. It can only be rented out to a well–known restaurant brand. Please go back!”
After saying that. Irene stood up. It was obvious that she had no interest in continuing their conversation.
Gilmore did not intend to leave. He continued to sit on the sofa looked at Irene and said, “Miss East, I would like to ask, how much is the monthly rental fee for this unit number 10 shop?”
Irene didn’t want to share that information initially, but since Gilmore asked, she answered casually, “Forty thousand dollars a month.”
Forty thousand dollars a month! Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
This caused Harlan and his wife to feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles,
Even Gerald felt that it was very ridiculously expensive! After all, his monthly salary as a bodyguard was only 4,0000 dollars
Tll pay sixty thousand dollars per month for this shop. How about it?” Right at this moment, Gilmore looked straight at Irene. He was determined to win, and his words sounded domineering.
Irene could hardly believe her cars.
Harlan and his wife almost fainted. Forty thousand dollars was already enough to make them tremble with fear.
Now, Gilmore actually suggested renting the shop for sixty thousand dollars, increasing the rent by twenty thousand dollars They felt that their hearts couldn’t stand the shock.
*Son, we don’t want it, we don’t want it… Harlan could not help but try to persuade Gilmore.
However, Gilmore looked at Harlan with a smile and said, “Dad, this money is nothing. As long as the brand of Evermore Diner can be set up, regardless sixty thousand dollars, six million dollars, or even sixty million dollars, it can be earned
back!
Gilmore’s words rendered Harlan speechless on the spot. Too arrogant! His son’s confidence was simply ridiculous
Even Gerald seems to be in high spirits after hearing this. “This is what a great man should be like Gerald was amazed by Gilmore’s boldness.
However, even though Irene felt his pulse race, Irene felt that Gilmore was crazy!
“Forty thousand dollars a month was already outrageously high. Not only did Gilmore not haggle to reduce the rent, he was even willing to add twenty thousand dollars to the rent, making it sixty thousand dollars! Wasn’t this something only a madman would do? What was even more ridiculous was that he said that after the Evermore Diner’s name was established, he would be able to earn back sixty thousand dollars, six million dollars, or even sixty million dollars! He couldn’t have thought that his Evermore Diner was an international food brand, like KFC or MacDonalds, could he?”
Therefore, Irene rejected Gilmore outrightly, trying to dampen his spirits. “Mr. Reed, your vision is very good, but it is not

so easy to achieve it. Please go back!”
Π
“Seventy thousand dollars!” Gilmore continued, “Call your vice president and tell him that I will rent the number 10 shop for seventy thousand dollars a month.”
Everyone was stupefied. Gilmore had added another ten thousand dollars! This was no different from throwing money.
away.
It was clear that he was rich and willful.
Irene had no choice but to turn serious, after all, the rent for the shop had doubled! Moreover, it seemed that Gilmore was determined to get the shop.
“If you are willing to call your vice president, I can give you 4,000 dollars once the rental contract of the store is signed.” parents Gilmore took out two bundles of cash from his pocket and threw them on the table. This time, when he and his came out to find a shop, he had come fully prepared.
He knew that if he wanted to rent a good store, he had to give the middleman like Irene some personal benefits. After all, dangling a carrot in front of the donkey makes it go faster.
Gilmore did not believe that Irene could remain unmoved after seeing his two bundles of cash.
True enough, Irene couldn’t remain indifferent or keep calm any longer. She only needed to make a phone call to get 4,000 dollars.
It was as easy as lifting a finger. She couldn’t refuse such a good thing.
Although she still wanted to pretend that she was not a greedy person, her hands did not listen to her. She took out her mobile phone and dialed the vice president’s number.
When Gilmore saw this, the corners of his mouth curled into an almost undetectable smile.
Money makes the world go round. It seemed that this saying was true!
