Yin Dehua sensed the awkward atmosphere and frowned, asking seriously, "President Su, is there something you need?"
Su Chang nodded, took a deep breath, and then asked, "President Yin, I heard that you are going to invest in Yu Xinlei's company in the name of the company. Is that true?" His eyes were fixed on Yin Dehua.
Yin Dehua was taken aback, thinking, "Wasn't this decided in a previous meeting? Didn't Jiang Lai communicate with Su Chang?"
Although Yin Dehua was still a little confused, he nodded and said, "Yes, President Su, is there a problem? President Jiang passed this resolution at the company meeting earlier. Didn't President Jiang tell you?"
Su Chang's lips curled into a meaningful smile as he gently beckoned to Song Nuan. Song Nuan understood immediately, quickly stepping forward and handing him the documents in her hand.
Su Chang took the document and handed it to Yin Dehua, saying calmly, "Mr. Yin, please take a look at this document before we continue."
Yin Dehua looked puzzled, his brows furrowed, pondering Su Chang's intentions. He carefully took the document, slowly opened it, and his gaze followed the words, his expression growing increasingly grim. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back.
Finally, Yin Dehua could no longer contain his anger. He slammed the file heavily on the table and shouted angrily, "Yu Wenxuan is trying to drag my Yin Group down with him! They are outrageous!" His voice was filled with anger and helplessness, as if it were filled with the despair of being betrayed.
Seeing this, Su Chang's eyes flashed with disappointment. He pressed on, asking, "President Yin, has the contract been signed? Has the money been transferred yet?" He thought to himself, "This won't do. All he knows is how to get angry. Doesn't he know what the important thing is?"
Yin Dehua suddenly realized what was happening. He patted his forehead and said regretfully, "The money must have been transferred already. Today is the day my son got engaged to that girl from the Yu family, so the transfer was made today. The contract was also officially signed at the engagement ceremony. We should still be able to stop it now."
After saying that, Yin Dehua hurriedly pulled out his phone, dialed the company's finance department, and ordered urgently, "...Immediately stop that transfer with the Yu family this morning! Right now! Immediately!"
After hanging up, he quickly called the bank, demanding that they immediately freeze the transfer and cancel the transaction.
After finishing the call, Yin Dehua breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Su Chang with a helpless expression and quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, President Su. I almost caused you a loss because of my wrong decision. I'm truly sorry. Don't worry, I will definitely send you a generous gift to express my apologies later."
Su Chang simply waved her hand casually and said indifferently, "These are all secondary. The key is, what about your engagement banquet? I can tell that your young master really likes Yu Xinlei. He probably won't agree to cancel the engagement, Fang."
Upon hearing this, Yin Dehua's face instantly turned cold. He snorted coldly, thinking indignantly, "Hmph! The Yu family is going too far, trying to drag our family down with them! Their daughter can only enter our family if I'm dead! Otherwise, there's no way. I'll cancel the engagement banquet later."
Yin Dehua's eyes revealed determination and resolve; he couldn't even allow Yu Xinlei's name to appear. He had clearly made up his mind to cancel the marriage. Su Chang, on the other hand, remained calm, seemingly unsurprised by Yin Dehua's decision. In fact, he also felt that Yu Xinlei was unworthy of Yin Shangdong. He nodded slightly, indicating his understanding of Yin Dehua's actions.
Yin Dehua then flattered Su Chang, saying, "Su Chang, you are truly young and promising. I wish my son had half of your abilities."
Su Chang quickly waved his hand, a humble smile on his face, and said, "I can't compare to you, young master. I climbed up from the bottom step by step. You are very outstanding, very cultured, and pure and kind. These are rare and excellent qualities."
Upon hearing Su Chang's words, Yin Dehua couldn't help but feel uneasy. He wondered to himself whether Su Chang was praising his son or insulting him. After all, in the business world, being naive and kind was not a good thing; it was almost like being called a fool.
However, seeing Su Chang's sincere expression, which didn't seem fake, Yin Dehua could only sigh helplessly, thinking, "Perhaps it's because his family protected him so well that Shang Dong is so naive."
Su Chang didn't know how to respond, and the atmosphere became awkward. Then, Yin Dehua said he needed to cancel the engagement and asked Su Chang if he could give him the documents. Su Chang nodded in agreement, and Yin Dehua quickly left with the documents.
Su Chang gestured towards Song Nuan with her lip, a sly smile playing on her lips, and whispered, "Come on, I'll take you to eat some melon seeds."
Chapter 89 Is he about to lose his temper?
Although Song Nuan didn't know what "eating melons" meant, she knew from her boss's smug look that nothing good was going on. Nevertheless, she followed Su Chang toward the banquet hall out of curiosity. Zhou Gege, of course, was not to be outdone and followed closely behind.
Upon arriving at the banquet hall, a chubby middle-aged man walked down from the stage to greet Yin Dehua. If Su Chang was not mistaken, that was Yu Xinlei's father, Yu Wenxuan.
Yin Dehua had no intention of giving Yu's father any face. He threw the documents at Yu's father's face and roared, "Yu Wenxuan, you're really something! You want to use your daughter to drag our entire Yin family down with you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked, wondering what Yin Dehua meant. After all, Yin Dehua was usually very low-key and humble, and many people were seeing him lose his temper for the first time.
Upon hearing this, Yu Wenxuan broke out in a cold sweat. He was immediately alarmed and picked up the documents from the ground to read them. The more he read, the more alarmed he became. He finally understood why Yin Dehua had lost his temper so badly. He thought to himself, "It's over! My last lifeline is gone."
Just then, Yin Shangdong, looking puzzled, quickly walked to Yin Dehua's side, grabbed his arm, and anxiously asked, "Dad, what are you doing? Today is my engagement banquet with Xinlei..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Yin Dehua angrily interrupted him: "Engagement? What are you thinking! They're going to drag our entire Yin family down with them, and you're still thinking about engagement!" Yin Dehua glared at Yin Shangdong, her face full of anger at his lack of ambition.
Yin Shangdong was stunned, filled with confusion and bewilderment. He had been too far away to know what had happened. Hearing Yin Dehua's words, although he knew his father wouldn't lie, he couldn't help but ask, "Dad, is there some misunderstanding?"
At this moment, Yu Xinlei, who was still unaware of what had happened at home, chimed in, "Yes, Uncle, how could my father do such a thing?"
Upon hearing Yu Xinlei's words, Yin Dehua flew into a rage, pointing his finger at Yu Xinlei and shouting, "Don't call me uncle! I can't accept that! Go ask your father what he did before you speak! You can look at the documents on the ground yourself. Do you think I would wrongly accuse Yu Wenxuan?"
Yu Xinlei had never been yelled at so fiercely before. Her eyes instantly reddened, and tears welled up in them. But she still suppressed her grievances, squatted down, and asked Yu Wenxuan anxiously, "Dad, what exactly happened? Please explain it to Uncle."
Yu Wenxuan sat on the ground with his eyes vacant. His mother, Wu Xinyi, kept her head down and stayed with him, clearly having known all along.
Seeing that Yu Xinlei had been wronged, Yin Shangdong disregarded his fatherly authority and quickly advised, "Dad, I don't know what happened, but we can sit down and talk it over. Besides, Xinlei is your future daughter-in-law, and she doesn't know anything. Why are you yelling at her?"
"Snapped!"
Yin Dehua was so angry at his foolish son Yin Shangdong that he laughed. He slapped Yin Shangdong across the face and shouted, "I hit him? They're trying to drag our whole family down with them, and he still doesn't know who's on his side and is even speaking up for them!"
"Dehua!" Su Wanrong was heartbroken to see Yin Dehua hitting his son and immediately called out to him, "Why are you hitting your son? You can talk things out."
Yin Shangdong covered his face, feeling both wronged and helpless. He didn't understand why things had turned out this way, nor did he know how to face the situation. Yu Xinlei, on the other hand, cried silently beside him, feeling utterly confused and helpless.
Yin Dehua pointed at Yin Shangdong and said to Su Wanrong, "Wanrong, this is the good son you raised. He can't distinguish right from wrong. If he wants to know what happened, can't he look at the pile of documents on the ground? I think he's blinded by lust."
Su Wanrong felt helpless after hearing this. She knew that Yin Dehua was right, but no matter what, Yin Shangdong was still her son. The two of them had never laid a finger on him since he was a child. Now, she had slapped Yin Shangdong in front of so many people. How painful must it be for Yin Shangdong? She could only sigh and come to Yin Shangdong's side to persuade him: "Shangdong, don't blame your father. He was just too angry. Go and look at those documents first before you speak. If it's really as your father said, and you still want to protect Yu Xinlei's family, then I won't stand on your side this time either."
After hearing Su Wanrong's words, Yin Shangdong calmed down, squatted down to pick up the documents on the ground and began to look through them. The more he looked, the uglier his expression became. Then, with an incredulous look, he asked Yu Wenxuan, "Uncle Yu, is all of this true?"
Upon hearing Yin Shangdong's words, Yu Wenxuan's eyes lit up. He immediately scrambled to his feet and grabbed Yin Shangdong's hand, saying, "Shangdong, I know I made a mistake, but Xinlei doesn't know anything. She loves you so much. I don't ask you to forgive me, but please help us protect Xinlei from now on, okay?"
"This..." Yin Shangdong didn't expect Yu Wenxuan to admit his mistake so directly and entrust Yu Xinlei to him. He also believed that Yu Xinlei was innocent, but his father was in a bad mood, so he was in a dilemma.
“Yes, Shangdong, you and Xinlei love each other so much. Your aunt and uncle will handle the current troubles themselves. Just please take good care of Xinlei, okay?” Wu Xinyi came over and persuaded him.
"Dad! Mom! How could you do this?" Yu Xinlei knew from her parents' words that they had done something wrong to the Yin family, and she ran out of the banquet hall after saying that.
"Young Master Shangdong, hurry and chase after them!" Xixian whispered to Yin Shangdong as he came up behind him.
"Oh, right." Yin Shangdong didn't care about anything else now and ran out after Yu Xinlei: "Xinlei, wait for me."
"Yin Shangdong, come back here!" Yin Dehua was furious. He had just finished speaking when his son ran off with someone else again. He was so angry that he could hardly breathe and almost fell over. Fortunately, Su Wanrong, who had been watching Yin Dehua closely, caught him in time.
"Sigh!" Su Wanrong shook her head helplessly, then comforted Yin Dehua while helping him calm down, "Alright, Dehua, don't be angry. If something happens to you, who will support the Yin family? And Shangdong will be even more neglected."
Su Wanrong was very smart. She knew that if she kept advising him at this time, she would not make Yin Dehua angry. It would be better to tell him what he needed to do. This is probably what it means to marry a virtuous wife and bring prosperity to the family. This is also the difference between the Yin family and the Yu family.
Hearing Su Wanrong's words, Yin Dehua finally came to his senses. He then stared at Yu Wenxuan with a serious expression and said, "Yu Wenxuan, for Shang Dong's sake, if you tell your daughter to stay away from our Shang Dong, I won't pursue your fraudulent behavior. Otherwise..."
Although Yin Dehua didn't finish his sentence, Yu Wenxuan understood what Yin Dehua meant. However, he was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity for Yu Xinlei to marry Yin Shangdong, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Dehua, we've been together for so many years. You can hold me responsible however you want. I brought this on myself and I have no regrets. But Xinlei and Shangdong are truly in love. We can't separate them, or they will both suffer."
"Haha..." Yin Dehua laughed out loud as if he had heard a big joke, then looked at Yu Wenxuan with a gloomy face: "Yu Wenxuan, how dare you talk about friendship? Did you ever think about friendship when you were scheming against me? And Shang Dong, don't think I don't know what kind of devil you're up to. If he doesn't repent, I'll kick him out too. Let's see who you scheme against next."
"You..." Yu Wenxuan had never seen Yin Dehua so resolute before. He hadn't expected that Yin Dehua would not even give face to his own son.
"Get out!" Since Yin Dehua had already chosen to tear off the mask of civility, he would not give Yu Wenxuan any face at all.
"Hey! Wenxuan, let's go first." Wu Xinyi saw that Yu Wenxuan still wanted to say something, but she knew that it would be useless to say anything more at this time, so she quickly grabbed Yu Wenxuan and advised him to leave quickly, otherwise it would only make him more embarrassed.
"Sigh!" Yu Wenxuan could only sigh and, with Wu Xinyi's help, left the banquet hall with his head hanging low.
"Alright, that's enough drama, let's go!" Seeing that most of the main characters had left, Su Chang lost all interest in watching.
Song Nuan and Zhou Gege felt helpless seeing Su Chang's lingering enjoyment. They felt he was gloating, which was very immoral. But they didn't dare to say anything and could only follow Su Chang away.
The three of them went downstairs. Su Chang originally planned to take Song Nuan and Zhou Gege to Pinzhentang to enjoy a meal. After all, they couldn't have the wedding banquet, so they had to eat something good. He also wanted to get closer to Song Nuan. Zhou Gege was just an afterthought.
He also wanted to ask Lu Yuan how that Bull Terrier got together with Yu Xinlei, and at the same time he was worried about whether Xiao Cai could handle Pinzhentang alone.
However, as soon as Su Chang stepped out of the hotel, she saw Yin Shangdong and Yu Xinlei arguing in the parking lot. Yin Shangdong kept explaining, and although his voice was not very clear, Su Chang immediately became interested. She tiptoed closer and even turned around to signal the two women to be quiet.
Song Nuan and Zhou Gege exchanged a helpless glance, muttering to themselves, "Family members, who understands? Our boss is like a child, always wanting to join in the fun. It's just unbelievable."
The two had no choice but to follow Su Chang's example and casually approach the two people. Once they got closer, the three of them finally heard the two people's conversation.
Yin Shangdong held Yu Xinlei's hand tightly and said with a firm gaze, "Xinlei, you must believe in me. I have the ability to solve all the problems."
Yu Xinlei gently withdrew her hand, lowered her head and said, "Shang Dong, it's my family that has wronged your family. I think it's better for us to separate. Besides, I can't abandon my parents. I still need to help them earn money to pay off their debts."
Yin Shangdong hurriedly interrupted her: "Xinlei, you didn't know about this, it's not your fault! I love you deeply, and I will definitely share this burden with you. As long as I go back and beg my dad, I believe he will definitely help, after all, I am his only son."
Yu Xinlei raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes: "But this will put a lot of pressure on you, and I don't want you to be blamed by your aunt and uncle because of me."
Yin Shangdong embraced Yu Xinlei and whispered, "Xinlei, I'm not afraid of any of that. I'm only afraid of losing you. Believe me, we can definitely get through this together."
Yu Xinlei leaned on Yin Shangdong's shoulder and nodded silently.
After listening to their conversation, Su Chang thought to himself, "If Yin Shangdong's dad knew you said that, he would definitely 'thank' you, you son who's ruining his family. Aren't you just pushing your family to the brink of ruin?"
At this moment, Yu Xinlei didn't know if her plan would work, but she was still very naive (foolish). In her heart, Yin Shangdong was like an omnipotent prince charming. Despite some hesitation and worry that Yin's parents would humiliate her, she ultimately decided to agree to accompany Yin Shangdong to his home to ask for his parents' help, considering her family's predicament.
Chapter Ninety: Back to Kyoto
Su Chang pursed her lips, feeling like there was no more gossip to be had. What was so interesting about their hugging and cuddling? She waved to Song Nuan and Zhou Gege and walked towards her car.
"Let's go, I'll take you to get something to eat," Su Chang said casually as they got into the car.
"Ah... no, President Su, we have to go back to work this afternoon." Zhou Gege was about to agree when Song Nuan preemptively refused.
"It's okay, just call your supervisor later and say you're with me and something came up. Just say it was me who said it." Su Chang waved her hand dismissively. After all, there were only two interns. What difference would it make if the company didn't operate without them? However, Song Nuan's answer still earned her a lot of points in Su Chang's eyes.
"Alright." Seeing that Su Chang didn't give them a chance to object, Song Nuan felt that Su Chang was a bit domineering, but she could only agree helplessly. After all, Su Chang was their biggest boss, controlling their "economic lifeline," and she dared not easily disobey.
The two sat in the car, and Song Nuan called her supervisor to explain the situation. Hearing that it was Su Chang's idea, the supervisor dared not refuse and quickly said, "No problem, no problem. If you don't come back this afternoon, just come to me tomorrow to fill out a fieldwork form."
Su Chang knew that his supervisor had misunderstood, but he didn't bother to explain. Song Nuan, on the other hand, was completely confused and looked at Su Chang with a puzzled expression.
Zhou Gege, however, was fully aware of the situation. She was secretly pleased with herself, thinking that with Su Chang's background, she would definitely be able to "walk sideways" in the company in the future.
Afterwards, the three arrived at Pinzhentang. The shop was empty, without a single customer, except for Xiao Cai, who was dozing off like a chicken pecking at rice. Su Chang was furious when he saw this. He strode over and slapped Xiao Cai on the head.
"Who, who, who hit me?" Xiao Cai suddenly woke up and saw that it was Su Chang, who was looking at him with a hostile expression. He was so scared that he stammered, "Su... Su Chang... Brother."
Su Chang said irritably, "What's going on with you guys? I've only been gone a short while, and there isn't a single customer left in the store?"
Xiao Cai was also a little helpless. He scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, Su Chang. Lu Yuan was hired by a customer today for a high price of 20 to cook, so we decided to change the lunch reservations to the evening."
Upon hearing the price of 20, Su Chang couldn't help but admire Yu Xinlei's generosity. He thought to himself, "No wonder Lu Yuan went; the price is indeed very tempting." At the same time, he was also somewhat dissatisfied with the way the two handled the situation. After all, was he someone who lacked money? What he needed was a good reputation.
Xiao Cai seemed to have seen through Su Chang's thoughts, and he quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Brother Su Chang, that guest insisted on inviting Brother Lu Yuan, and the price was so high, we couldn't refuse."
Su Chang frowned and said, "You should have informed me beforehand. How can this store operate without Lu Yuan? If you keep doing this, what will happen to our reputation? Who will come back? You're really something, doing this for a little short-term profit."
Xiao Cai lowered his head and said softly, "I know I was wrong, Brother Su Chang. We won't do it again next time."
Su Chang sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, let it go this time. You arrange for these two beauties to wait, and then quickly call Lu Yuan. He should be fine now. Tell him to get back here as soon as possible. I'll go cook some dishes first. If he's not back by the time I'm done, then tell him to get lost."
Xiao Cai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly, saying, "Okay, Brother Su Chang." After saying that, he hurriedly led Song Nuan and Zhou Gege to the booth, while Su Chang shook his head helplessly, went to the inner room to change his clothes, and then went into the kitchen.
Half an hour later, just as the dishes were being served and Su Chang was about to call everyone to eat, Lu Yuan rushed back in a hurry, covered in sweat and still out of breath. It was clear that he had been rushing all the way.
"Su...Su Chang, I'm so sorry, it was my oversight, today..."
"Forget it." Just as Lu Yuan was about to continue explaining, Su Chang waved her hand to interrupt him: "Sit down and eat something first. Just be more careful in the future. Don't ruin the restaurant's reputation for a little profit. If it happens again, you can pack your things and get out. I really don't know how you got your Michelin chef title. You don't even understand this simple thing."
"Okay, Su Chang, there will definitely be no next time." Seeing that Su Chang did not pursue the matter further, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
On Monday, Xiaoming was basically able to handle things on his own. Su Chang was worried about any unexpected situations, so he left Xiaoming 2 yuan in cash and then bought a plane ticket to Kyoto. After all, Xu Hongdou had been gone for quite some time. She wouldn't answer his calls or reply to his messages. If it weren't for Chen Nanxing, the spy, he would have thought that Xu Hongdou had disappeared.
