Divorced Dad's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 424: Chapter 423: Prince Consort Jiang

Still, the plan itself was a good one.

She reviewed it carefully one more time before sending it to Jun Xinghe.

Jun Xinghe received the report and smiled with satisfaction.

He replied, "Since it’s approved, let’s move forward with it."

"Also, you guys draw up the contract. I’ll hold forty percent of the shares, and Jiang Liu will hold sixty. And make sure to structure my shares as non-voting, with no management rights."

"If you run into any obstacles, just tell the departments directly that he’s my, Jun Xinghe’s, son-in-law. No need to hide it."

In the Jing Circle, many big bosses give their children "toy industries" to practice on.

Usually, the parents help them hide their identities, worried they’ll be ridiculed if they fail.

They keep a very low profile.

After all, it was just for practice.

But Jun Xinghe didn’t care about that.

If it failed, it failed. A real man doesn’t hide in the shadows.

He was already prepared to take the fall for Jiang Liu.

It didn’t matter.

Even if the business did show some promise, he’d be happy to hear others praise his son-in-law.

And if it lost money?

People could just come and laugh at him.

Ren Qingqing: "President Jun, may I add Little President Jiang on WeChat? I need to discuss things with him."

As a woman, she had to be careful to avoid any impropriety. Everyone knew Boss Jiang was the son-in-law Jun Xinghe doted on.

Jun Xinghe: "Alright."

He forwarded Jiang Liu’s WeChat contact to Ren Qingqing.

Once that was done, Jun Xinghe suddenly felt a craving.

He sent a message to his housekeeper, asking her to heat up the half-catty of spicy boiled fish he’d snatched from Secretary Wang earlier today.

A moment later,

The housekeeper brought a small tray-table and placed it on Jun Xinghe’s bed.

"Enjoy your meal, President Jun."

"Mm."

SNIFF!

Jun Xinghe took a deep whiff of the steaming, spicy slices of fish in the orange dish, a look of pure bliss on his face.

"This stuff Xiao Jiang makes is incredible. Just the smell is enough to make your mouth water!"

’Oh, right. I haven’t posted on my Moments today. Can’t forget that.’

Thinking of this,

Jun Xinghe picked up a slice of fish with his chopsticks and quickly snapped a photo, adding a caption before posting it to his Moments.

"What a great feeling to come home after a long day of work and eat spicy boiled fish made by my son-in-law. Sigh, I’m just a little worried I’ll gain weight. Oh well, I’ll just have to exercise more lately. My son-in-law keeps feeding me so well, I have to work out. I’ll eat up and get to bed. I have to discuss opening a restaurant with my son-in-law tomorrow."

Yang Zhengwu spat out a mouthful of toothpaste foam, finished brushing his teeth, and lay back down in bed.

Just that afternoon, he had noticed Jun Xinghe hadn’t posted on his Moments all day, so he’d secretly unblocked him.

’It’s such a shame I didn’t get to eat Boss Jiang’s spicy boiled fish today. I wonder what it tastes like. The craving is killing me.’

Yang Zhengwu muttered to himself as he opened his phone.

He casually opened his Moments and... ??! He instantly fell apart.

The very first post was from Jun Xinghe.

A long-winded caption paired with a photo of spicy boiled fish, a picture designed to make you crave it in the middle of the night!

"I’m gonna die!!"

"Fuck! Does it ever end?!"

"That old bastard! He doesn’t deserve to be human!"

"You humblebragging dog! I never should have unblocked your sorry ass!"

He cursed up a storm.

Yang Zhengwu wasn’t just drooling from the craving; he was also green with envy and furious.

Showing him Little Boss Jiang’s spicy boiled fish this late at night on purpose.

Wasn’t this trying to kill him with craving?!

Yang Zhengwu didn’t care about the two of them starting a company together.

It was just small potatoes.

Yang Zhengwu watched for a few minutes and started to feel a lot better.

Because Jun Xinghe’s post only had one "like"—and it was from Jun Xinghe himself.

’Good. Fine. Perfect! That old bastard must have pissed everyone off, right?’

’Hah! Let’s see how long you can stay smug, you old coot. Sooner or later, everyone’s going to isolate and despise you!’

A new Moments post appeared at the top of his feed.

Yang Zhengwu hesitated for a moment.

In the end, he couldn’t resist and refreshed his Moments.

It was a video posted by Zhao Chuan.

The video showed a vicious dog trying to bite a passerby, only to get smacked with a brick. It ran home yelping, then stuck its head out and started barking furiously.

In just one minute,

dozens of likes appeared below it.

They were all from the big shots of the Jing Circle. The sourness was unknowingly starting to spread.

Yang Zhengwu forcefully tapped "like" and saved the video for good measure.

’Hmph, smug? I’ll see how long you can keep that up. Just you wait. The day Boss Jiang dumps you, I’m going to backstab you so hard and flame you to death on Moments!’

’Just because you have a doting son-in-law, you have to show off all day? Can’t you live without showing off?’

’That old turtle!’

’Serves him right his own daughter ignores him!’

Muttering curses, Yang Zhengwu rolled over, ready to sleep.

As if possessed, he opened his phone again. It wasn’t for any other reason than to see how many likes the dog-beating video had gotten.

He was just too jealous; this was the only thing that could soothe his sour heart.

The moment he opened his Moments,

he saw a picture posted by Guo Dapao.

"First day of mooching a meal at my daughter’s place! Today was spicy boiled fish and steamed buns from Boss Jiang. The fish was spicy as hell, haha, but it was damn satisfying. Coming back for more tomorrow!"

The picture showed him and his daughter holding steaming bowls of rice, eating spicy boiled fish with green and red peppers mixed in with tender, white fish slices.

Yang Zhengwu took a deep breath.

He couldn’t take it anymore!

He couldn’t fucking stand it!

He furiously commented below: "A pack of scheming wolves! Birds of a feather! Partners in crime! You’re all as bad as each other!!"

Guo Dapao replied: "Ah?? You’re not jealous, are you? Hahaha, go on, keep cursing. It feels so damn good!"

Yang Zhengwu: "..."

「 * 」

Jiang Liu waited for Jun Qingmeng and Tongtong to finish in the bathroom before he went in to brush his teeth and use the toilet.

In the bathroom, after brushing his teeth, he sat down on the toilet.

Jiang Liu opened his phone.

He saw a friend request from Ren Qingqing.

Her message explained who she was and why she was adding him.

He accepted the request.

The moment he did,

Ren Qingqing immediately sent a stream of messages: "Hello, Mr. Jiang. I’m Ren Qingqing, the director of the evaluation and assessment department at Huaxia Pharmaceutical. We have reviewed your plan, and we’ve unanimously agreed that it has great value. We approve the investment."

Ren Qingqing: "We are currently preparing the necessary documents for company registration. Once they are ready, we will send them to you for review first."

Ren Qingqing: "If you think everything is in order, we can sign the contract. An electronic signature is fine. Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions afterward."

Her attitude toward Jiang Liu was very friendly.

He was, after all, the husband of the company’s young heiress. That made him their Prince Consort.

Jiang Liu replied politely, "Okay. Thank you for your trouble, President Ren."

Jiang Liu: "Regarding the trademark, can we do it according to my ideas?"

Ren Qingqing: "No problem, Mr. Jiang. We can."

Jiang Liu thought for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "I’m the one with actual control over this company, right?"

Ren Qingqing: "That’s right. All control of the company is in your hands. Whatever you say, goes."

Jiang Liu let out a long sigh of relief. "Okay, thank you."

He wasn’t worried about Jun Xinghe trying to seize power.

A dinky little company on a scale of a few million yuan was not something Jun Xinghe would even look twice at.

The reason he asked was that he was considering what would happen if the company grew much larger in the future.

Eventually, it might face the option of going public.
