Chapter 73: Leave This Matter to Me to Resolve
Yang Tiancheng sighed, “This Yang Tiancheng, he really is heartless.”
“Exactly, he’s utterly heartless.” Liu Yujuan immediately nodded in agreement, then quickly changed the subject, “Right, Tiancheng, Yu Lu and I scoped out the area near his restaurant and found two places that would be perfect for opening a hot pot restaurant. If we take over one of those places, that wouldn’t be a problem.”
Yang Tiancheng thought for a moment and said, “Let’s talk about this later, I still want Zhao Hai’s storefront. You need to think of another solution.”
His main goal was to take this opportunity to ensure that Zhao Hai couldn’t even succeed in opening his restaurant.
In that case, he would feel an even greater sense of accomplishment.
Liu Yujuan said with bitterness, “Tiancheng, I’ve tried every method available; he won’t lease the storefront to us.”
Yang Tiancheng glanced at Zhao Yulu, “If you can’t do it, maybe Yu Lu can.”
“Me?” Zhao Yulu was stunned.
Didn’t Mom just say Dad had already turned her down?
Why did Yang Tiancheng think she had a way?
“Indeed, you,” Yang Tiancheng nodded as he spoke.
“I don’t understand what you mean,” said Zhao Yulu.
“Yu Lu, you’re Xu Yang’s ex-girlfriend, you can go and find Xu Yang, ask him to persuade Zhao Hai. As long as Xu Yang speaks to Zhao Hai, I believe Zhao Hai will agree, especially now that Xu Yang is involved in the happiness of Zhao Hai’s daughter, which is your sister,” Yang Tiancheng explained.
“Xu Yang and I have broken up, and he’s married my sister now; he won’t listen to me.”
Zhao Yulu really didn’t understand why Yang Tiancheng would think that if she tried to persuade Xu Yang, he would listen to her and persuade her father in turn.
“It’s just a breakup. I believe he still has feelings for you, or even loves you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have married your sister right away.”
“In my opinion, his marrying your sister is just treating her as a substitute for you.”
“As long as you talk to Xu Yang, he will certainly agree, and once he does, he will persuade Zhao Hai, and Zhao Hai will then lease out the storefront.”
This is why Yang Tiancheng believed that Zhao Yulu had a way.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yulu instantly understood, but she didn’t think so.
She knew Xu Yang well and didn’t believe he would treat her sister as a substitute for herself.
Zhao Yulu shook her head, “I don’t think so.”
Yang Tiancheng frowned, “Yu Lu, I’m not wrong, and what you need to do is exactly as I say.”
Zhao Yulu gave Yang Tiancheng a serious look and nodded, “Alright, I’ll do it.”
She agreed verbally, but she had no intention of doing as Yang Tiancheng had suggested.
Yang Tiancheng seemed to sense Zhao Yulu’s thoughts and said, “Call Xu Yang right now, in front of me.”
Zhao Yulu’s expression turned ugly, but she still took out her phone, dialed Xu Yang’s number, and, at Yang Tiancheng’s prompting, put the call on speaker.
Yang Tiancheng’s insistence angered her internally, yet she could only suppress her feelings.
The call connected quickly.
Zhao Yulu immediately said, “Xu Yang, do you have a moment?”
Xu Yang responded, “What’s up?”
At that moment, Xu Yang had returned home, where Zhao Yuxin was taking a shower, and he was checking emails sent by the system.
The email contained the key to success for the Yu Huo Ren Jia Hot Pot restaurant.
It detailed various extreme service measures as well as store management, staff training, and compensation packages.
With this information, he could build a hot pot empire worth a hundred billion.
To be honest, receiving a call from Zhao Yulu came as a surprise to Xu Yang.
Aside from the last time when she had called to borrow money, there had been no contact between them since their breakup.
Zhao Yulu said, “It’s like this, I hope you can persuade my dad to rent out the store…”
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Xu Yang, “I don’t know why you’re calling me, nor why you think I would agree, but I want to make one thing clear: Yu Xin and dad’s stance is my stance too. Is there anything else?”
Zhao Yulu glanced at Yang Tiancheng beside her before responding, “I understand, nothing else.”
After speaking, she hung up the phone.
Yang Tiancheng frowned and said, “How could Xu Yang say that?”
He had thought that if Zhao Yulu personally called Xu Yang, he would agree.
This was different from what he had expected.
Zhao Yulu said, “He’s not marrying my sister as a replacement.”
Yang Tiancheng shook his head, “Impossible. If he didn’t see your sister as a replacement, why would he marry her so quickly?”
Zhao Yulu stopped talking.
Yang Jingsheng, who had been silent this entire time, finally spoke up, “Dad, let me handle this.”
Yang Tiancheng was taken aback and asked incredulously, “You’re going to handle this? What can you do?”
He knew his son’s capabilities.
Good at picking up girls but not so good at getting things done.
In the company, his son would never have become a manager without him as the vice president father.
Even now, he still faced pressure since, many times, his son failed to accomplish tasks given by superiors.
This dissatisfaction often led superiors to complain to other executives.
When he told his son to look for a location for a hot pot restaurant last night, it was merely to give him a chance to earn credit while actually planning to assign a capable person to assist his son and get the job done.
Now, his son’s words were a real surprise to him.
Had his son finally become sensible? Learned to find solutions when faced with problems?
Zhao Yulu and Liu Yujuan were both puzzled and surprised at what Yang Jingsheng could possibly do to solve the issue.
Knowing his capabilities, the two women had their doubts.
They truly didn’t believe Yang Jingsheng could come up with any viable solution.
Yang Jingsheng smiled confidently, “Dad, don’t ask anymore. Just know that I’ll definitely take care of this.”
Yang Tiancheng was a bit worried, “Jingsheng, lay out your plan for me to see if it’s feasible or not.”
Yang Jingsheng got defensive, “Dad, you should trust me. I’m grown up now; can’t I handle even a small matter like this?”
Yang Tiancheng replied helplessly, “I’m not mistrusting you; it’s just that this matter is indeed quite hard.”
Yang Jingsheng said, “Whether it’s hard or not depends on the person and if they’ve thought of a solution. Don’t you always say, ‘To the unskilled, tasks are impossible; to the skilled, they are easy’? Don’t worry, I’ve already come up with a plan, and it will definitely be successful on arrival.”
Seeing that his son insisted on keeping the plan to himself, Yang Tiancheng could only say, “Alright then, if you can handle this, I will agree to the car exchange you’ve been asking for and buy you a Porsche Cayenne.”
Yang Jingsheng hadn’t expected such a pleasant surprise and immediately said, “Dad, get ready to spend that money.”
This was great; he’d wanted a Porsche Cayenne for a long time.
But it was a bit pricey, and dad had never agreed.
He had no idea how much longer it would take for dad to consent.
But now, it was within his grasp.
He was very confident in the solution he had come up with.
He believed that once it was implemented, Zhao Hai would definitely rent out the store.
