Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Someone’s Here to Cause Trouble
About ten minutes later, Yang Xiaofu, sitting alone at the dining table, started cursing again like a bitter, resentful woman.
"That hateful guy! All he knows is how to flirt, but he never sticks around to clean up the mess. This is torture!" Yang Xiaofu picked up a soup dumpling and bit into it fiercely, as if she were biting into Wang Chenning’s flesh. "Wang Chenning, you’re despicable!"
After eating two soup dumplings, she sighed again. "His resistance to beauty is surprisingly strong. I really didn’t expect that. Are his standards just too high, or is there something he’s worried about?"
After a moment of thought, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Yang Xiaofei: "Sis, what are you busy with?"
Before Yang Xiaofei could reply, she sent another message: "Have you told Grandpa your thoughts on the engagement? What exactly is the relationship between you and Wang Chenning now? Can I call him my brother-in-law?"
About half an hour later, a reply from Yang Xiaofei finally came.
"It’s none of your business!"
Reading the message, Yang Xiaofu couldn’t help but get angry again.
After thinking for a moment, she sent another message: "Sis, I think you two have similar personalities—you’re both very strong-willed. If you really end up living together, I bet you’ll be fighting every day. He’s not the type to back down and compromise, so you’d better be prepared to be the one making all the sacrifices!"
But Yang Xiaofei didn’t reply again, so Yang Xiaofu had no choice but to give up.
After leaving Yang Xiaofu’s place, Wang Chenning returned to the university to teach his classes.
Around noon, Wang Chenning received a message from Luo Yuqing: "Let’s go to Qingyun Hall together this afternoon and sort some things out. Once we have a plan, we can hand things off and won’t have to personally manage the daily affairs."
Wang Chenning had already finished his teaching duties for the morning. He had originally planned to check on Yebei Bar in the afternoon, but after Luo Yuqing’s message, he decided to go to Qingyun Hall first instead.
He asked Zheng Qiuhang to go with him.
Lately, Zheng Qiuhang had been incredibly busy. She looked like she had lost some weight, but her spirits were high.
Although she had slimmed down, it was all in the right places, making her figure look even better.
Since Wang Chenning was taking her out on business, she had specially dressed up, wearing a rather form-fitting suit with a down trench coat over it for when she went out.
When Wang Chenning drove over to pick her up, Zheng Qiuhang was already waiting at the entrance.
However, she didn’t see Wang Chenning’s car right away. She was on the phone, and she seemed rather emotional.
After turning and seeing Wang Chenning’s car, she immediately hung up the phone.
But as she got into Wang Chenning’s car, her expression was still a little strained.
Wang Chenning didn’t notice her strained expression and just casually asked about the business operations at Li Garden Hall over the past two days, as well as the handover status of Qingyun Hall and Yebei Bar.
Zheng Qiuhang immediately gave him an update on the situation, then said a bit sheepishly, "There are too few capable people, and I don’t dare entrust important responsibilities to some of them. Young Master Wang, how about you ask Miss Luo to assign a few more people to come help out?"
"We can ask her in a bit. She’s at Qingyun Hall too!" Wang Chenning smiled apologetically. "I haven’t been in Yanjing for long, so it’s not that easy to recruit people. As for you, keep an eye out for people around you. If you think someone is capable, please recommend them to me!"
"Thank you for your trust, Young Master Wang!" Zheng Qiuhang said, looking touched. "I will definitely keep a close watch!"
"Don’t keep calling me Young Master Wang. I’m not some rich young master. Why don’t you call me Brother Ning instead?" Yang Xiaofu often called him that, so Wang Chenning was already used to it, and now he was telling Zheng Qiuhang to call him that as well.
"Okay, Brother Ning!" Zheng Qiuhang called out, a little shyly. "I will definitely help you recruit some capable people!"
’Since Wang Chenning doesn’t have any other capable people, that must mean I’m the one he trusts the most. I have to seize this opportunity.’
When the two of them arrived at Qingyun Hall, Luo Yuqing was already there.
With Luo Yuqing were several other people, all of whom looked like shrewd and capable individuals.
"I know you don’t have many people on your team," Luo Yuqing said without any pleasantries, getting straight to the point. "I’ve arranged for a few people to come and help you. If you trust them, use them. If you don’t, I’ll send them back."
"Of course I trust the people Auntie has arranged!" Wang Chenning replied with a smile. "I have too few capable people on my side. This is a godsend!"
"Then put them to work," Luo Yuqing said, then turned to directly instruct Zheng Qiuhang, "Put them in key positions. You must keep a tight grip on finance and human resources. Other matters can be delegated to people you trust less."
"Then let’s have them handle finance and HR," Zheng Qiuhang said, pointing to two of the individuals. She then asked if the others could go help her at Li Garden Hall, since she was also short on trustworthy people there.
"What’s your opinion?" Luo Yuqing asked Wang Chenning.
Wang Chenning shook his head with a smile. "I have no objections. I’ll go with whatever you two decide."
"’Trust those you use, and don’t use those you doubt.’" Luo Yuqing nodded. "You do have a decisive streak."
Then she said bluntly to Zheng Qiuhang, "You’ve really lucked out, meeting a man like him."
Before Zheng Qiuhang had a chance to say anything, a man’s loud voice drifted up from downstairs, sounding like he was cursing someone out.
"Well, well. We’ve only been in charge for two days and someone’s already here to make trouble. I’d like to see just who’s so bold." A cold smile on her face, Luo Yuqing stood up and gestured for Wang Chenning to go downstairs with her to see what was happening.
As Wang Chenning and Luo Yuqing got up to head down the stairs, Zheng Qiuhang’s phone rang.
But she only glanced at the screen before immediately declining the call.
Following Luo Yuqing downstairs, Wang Chenning saw a short, middle-aged man standing at the reception desk, pointing and yelling at the staff.
The short, heavyset man looked to be a person of some status or wealth. He was dressed head-to-toe in designer brands and had two bodyguards standing behind him.
"Your hall has a new owner! I don’t trust this new boss, and I don’t want to be a member here anymore. You need to give me a full refund of my membership fee," the stout man shouted arrogantly. "What right do you have to refuse me a refund? Believe it or not, I’ll have people tear this place down!"
"Sir, your membership is about to expire in a few days anyway. Furthermore, when you applied, you signed an agreement stating that the membership fee is a one-time payment and cannot be used for consumption," the lobby manager on duty replied in a calm and respectful tone, adding a reminder, "Since you are voluntarily relinquishing your membership, we do not offer compensation."
This was a standard rule in any industry; unless there were special circumstances, membership fees were non-refundable.
Of course, anyone could tell that this guy who had shown up demanding a refund wasn’t really after the money.
He was clearly here to cause trouble!
The owners of such establishments were never simple characters. Anyone who dared to come and cause trouble must have taken that into account, which meant that the person backing this troublemaker was also someone extraordinary...
