206: Seducing Me

After saying goodbye to his family, Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng left together.

They didn’t take the car to the apartment or company, but went to the jam shop in the commercial center first. However, before they got to the door, they saw a group of people standing in front of the shop. A man and woman who looked like they were a couple were arguing with Liang Youshan, while onlookers pointed at Liang Youshan.

When Wang Cheng approached, he heard them saying, ‘I will never come to this jam shop again’, ‘too poor quality’, and so on. Liang Youshan who was arguing with the customers seemed to be very proud, pulling away from the crowd and walking in.

When Liang Youshan saw him, his expression froze instantly.

"Cheng Ge, great, you're finally here."

Guan Ying was so anxious that she didn’t know what to do. Uncle Liang completely forgot his identity; it was as if he had taken gunpowder. He was obviously in the wrong, yet he still dared to constantly quarrel with customers. This attitude always made Guan Ying feel that Uncle Liang was deliberately corrupting the reputation of the jam shop. She was just wondering if she should call Jiahe Dage and Song Hai and ask them to come over.

Wang Cheng gave her a calming look, turned to Liang Youshan, and smiled, saying, "Uncle Liang, do you think that I'm too easy to bully, and think that I won’t dare fire you?"

The couple and the chattering viewers quieted when they heard him. This man was the owner of the jam shop? He seemed to have a problem with this old employee, but he looked so handsome. The direction of the crowd changed again.

Liang Youshan flushed.

"Uncle Liang, my father first recruited you because of your honesty, but now it seems that this honesty has a big discount. Even if you are dissatisfied with Song Hai and Cousin Jiahe, what do these customers owe you? Why should you take your anger out on others? I have reason to doubt that you are actually not 52 years old, but rather 25 years old. I am 25 years old, okay? But I have to declare, I am not your father, and not your grandfather. I don’t even have any blood relationship with you, so could you please not take advantage anymore? Do you know what it felt like to look at your proud expression just now? My heart had almost broken, where did your neuropathy come from? While you were indulging your wife in starting rumors and destroying the reputation of my jam shop, you want to get a promotion for a higher salary? Are you abnormal?”

Wang Cheng was half-humorous and half-serious, and the crowd could not help but smile. Even the couple had smiles on their faces. The situation that was unfavorable to the jam shop was suddenly reversed. Everyone sympathized with the handsome boss. Such an employee was really a curse of a lifetime.

"Now, I have to make a decision. Originally, I wanted to give you a chance. Since you don't want to cherish it, I also respect your decision, so I’ve decided..."

"You think I really want to work in your broken shop? I’m telling you, I won’t do it anymore." Liang Youshan threw the bag from hands onto the ground and stormed out of the crowd without looking back.

Wang Cheng also wanted to tell him to go.

Achieving his goal, Wang Cheng walked to the couple and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for what happened, you two. This is the store’s responsibility. So, what would you like to buy in my store today? It's all free, I’ll even pay you compensation. I hope you don't mind. "

The couple looked at each other. The woman's cheeks were pink, and she said nervously, "It's okay, we don't mind anymore."

The boyfriend was a little curious about her appearance, but Wang Cheng's attitude was very good, so he didn’t fault him.

Wang Cheng smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your understanding."

After the crisis of the jam shop was resolved, Wang Cheng immediately called Guan Jiahe and simply told him what happened here. He then asked one of them to take a trip to the rental house, in case Liang Youshan held a grudge and thought about doing something. Guan Jiahe didn't care about the stupid thing, but he let Song Hai look after the shop and rushed over by himself.

"Guan Ying, you work hard first. There are not many customers over at the new store, so later, I will call Cousin Jiahe or Song Hai to help you. I will recruit a new employee after the New Year."

"Cheng Ge, don't worry, I can handle it all by myself," Guan Ying said.

Wang Cheng stopped that thought. "There will only be more customers at night. Then, you will know what it really means to be busy. Let Song Hai come to help you for a few days. I still have something to do, so I’ll go first."

Guan Ying nodded.

In the car, Wang Cheng took out his mobile phone and called Papa Wang. He explained the cause and effect first, and then said that he had fired Uncle Liang. When Uncle Liang returned, he might join his wife Qi in starting rumors, so he would just let Papa Wang be prepared first.

"How do I begin with this?"

Papa Wang was a bit silly. His character was too straightforward, and he had never done such a thing as destroying the reputation of others.

"Just as I told you last time; if Qiang Zai and his grandmother come over, you can lead the topic to this, and then tell her about our family firing Uncle Liang."

"But, how do I get it?" Last time, Papa Wang succeeded because Qiang Zai’s grandmother took the initiative to mention it. This time, the gossip had passed for a while, and Qiang Zai’s grandmother had already dug out other gossip.

Wang Cheng: "Forget it, pass the phone to Xiao Yu, I’ll tell her." Wang Ziyu was much more reliable than Papa Wang. After listening to his words, she immediately promised to complete the task and speak to the grandma who loved to gossip, under no pressure.

Wang Cheng put away his phone and heard Chu Yifeng's low laugh.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Your biological parents and elder brother have always worried that you might not be able to deal with those relatives when you return to the Zhou house. I think that they are thinking too much. Those people should be thankful if they are not pitted by you."

When it was the time to be decisive, he would be decisive, and would not be soft on the enemy. The Zhou head might not know which heir was about to be chosen.

"If people don’t commit wrongs against me, I won’t do anything to them. I personally have a bottom line, but my bottom line is shallow." Wang Cheng shrugged.

"That's good."

Chu Yifeng also hoped that his significant other was not only a strong force, but could also protect himself with such conspiracy. Although he had confidence in protecting Wang Cheng, it was impossible for him to stay by his side all the time.

Cheng Cheng's ex-girlfriend had never come to the company to find him since that day; they thought the woman was too ashamed to come up again. They didn’t know that Tao Jing was actually hospitalized and directly concussed because of Sun Jian.

As the end of the year approached, the company already had employees taking vacations in advance. Those who did not take a vacation were also thinking about vacation, and had no intention of working properly. The ones who stayed in the end were definitely old employees.

Fang Tian and Cheng Cheng were very happy to see Wang Cheng. They didn't see him again after that day, so both of them wanted to ask him some things. Wang Cheng deliberately stayed in the office for half an hour, arousing their appetite, before he came out together with Chu Yifeng. However, the two people pushed each other for the other to talk first, and Fang Tian finally won.

"Cheng Ge, that, is Tao Jing's statement from that day true? Are you and Boss really dealing with the Dongwang Group?" Cheng Cheng gulped and looked at him with bright eyes.

Wang Cheng drew up a corner of his mouth, "It is if you think it is, it’s not if you think it’s not."

"Cheng Ge." Cheng Cheng shook his hand. Although he wouldn’t admit it, he already knew it. "You shouldn't do that for me. In fact, my business is just a trivial matter. I really don't need it. At this point, I’ll be very happy if you just stand up for me."

Wang Cheng was shocked by what he said. He pulled out the hand that he was holding tightly, and put it on his shoulder, saying earnestly: "Cheng Cheng, listen to me: you are right, your business is really a trivial matter. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Cheng Cheng: "..."

"Pfft hahaha." Fang Tian burst into laughter. How could he think that Wang Cheng asked the boss to turn against the Dongwang Group because of Cheng Cheng's affairs? Cheng Cheng was absolutely affectionate.

Wang Cheng couldn't help laughing.

Cheng Cheng stared at the two resentfully. Li Yu was talking to Xu Siyu, and raised her eyebrows when she heard what they said. She continued to feel that Wang Cheng had become a little different than before, but she couldn't tell where it was. She felt that it was true that the things of Dongwang Group might have a lot to do with him.

Back at Chu Yifeng's office, Wang Cheng was reading today’s newspaper. He opened the laptop on the coffee table; the news about the Dongwang Group on the Internet spread quickly. Some people had released the news that Sun Jian was going to sell his family’s five-star hotels and four-star hotels. There were also rumors that Jinding Hotel was preparing to make a move, and was currently in the process of evaluation. They would not know the results until the Spring Festival.

"I remember that the Dongwang Group has to pay more than one billion in taxes, right. If they sell two hotels, how much would that pay?"

Chu Yifeng raised his head from the case, "It can only be half at most."

"So little?"

"Dongwang Group is in danger of being seized. The Sun Jian father and son will not let the company fall to bankruptcy, and can only choose to sell hotels in the end."

Wang Cheng understood, "People who take this shot will use this to lower prices, and in any case, Sun Jian and his son can only compromise?"

"Not bad."

Wang Cheng covered the computer and walked in front of him. He supported his desk with both hands and stared angrily at him. "How likely would you say it is that I will eat Dongwang Group?"

"As long as you have enough funds, 100%." ​​Chu Yifeng glanced at him.

"What if I don't have enough funds?" Wang Cheng blinked at him.

Chu Yifeng smiled slightly. "You can consider seducing me."

[T/N: Every time 'new year' is mentioned, remember it is talking about Lunar New Year/Spring Festival/Chinese New Year, not Gregorian New Year. 

PS: I'm listening to a really good mix (you're studying in a haunted library with ghosts) and there're really interesting stories and POV's in the comments - I'm so tempted to add one.]
