Chapter 201 - Someone’s Up To No Good!
Suppressing his anger, Su Yang went back to the back room and asked Deeny to release Sanque and Pool. The milk tea shop would then be left for them to continue managing it.
The inspection was already over for today, so it wouldn’t be a problem for them to come out.
As for tomorrow’s inspection… Let’s talk about that tomorrow!
It wasn’t that simple, and Su Yang felt that he had to find out the root cause.
With that in mind, Su Yang called the landlord again after the shift, intending to meet him.
It was probably because he was aware that he was in the wrong or some other unexplained reason, that the landlord gave a myriad of excuses this time, saying that he was busy and unable to come out to meet him.
As he hung up the phone, Su Yang secretly cursed. ‘Do you think I can’t find you even if you don’t come out?’
Just as the thought passed through his mind, his phone rang again with an unfamiliar landline number flashing on the screen.
Su Yang paid the fare while playing with an hourglass in his hand, and walked in.
Seeing a stranger walk in, the old men and women all looked in curiosity.
Su Yang ignored them, but looked around the room with a stern gaze before locking his eyes on the panicked landlord.
Su Yang said with a smile on his face, “Uncle Fang! What a coincidence it is to even be able to meet you here.”
The landlord looked nervous. In his eyes, the current Su Yang was like a fierce beast that seemed like he could pounce and bite him at any moment.
Just as he panicked, Su Yang heavily slammed the hourglass in his hand on the table nearest to him.
“Bang!”
The sound waves spread as if they were visible to the naked eye. As the waves traveled through, everything it passed through seemed to stand still.
Space began to rotate. Everyone and everything was drawn into the vortex before being drawn into Su Yang’s eyes.
A moment later, when Su Yang opened his eyes again, he appeared in Uncle Fang’s memories.
Su Yang didn’t waste any time, but instead he toggled the memory sequence backward. He wanted to check out Uncle Fang’s recent memories to see if it was him or someone else who was stirring things up!
Soon, the memory sequence came to a halt when Su Yang was in a restaurant. A man in a suit was talking to Uncle Fang, “Uncle Fang, why don’t you rent your milk tea shop to me.”
Uncle Fang waved his hand. “I can’t. I’ve already signed the contract.”
The man in the suit replied, “Don’t you want to hear the price? After all… a contract can be broken.”
Uncle Fang’s drooping eyelids lifted but he pretended to be uninterested. He asked, “What price are you offering?”
The man in the suit held out his fingers. “Twice. I’m willing to pay twice the amount.”
Uncle Fang’s expression was one of shock.
The man in the suit saw the expression on Uncle Fang’s face and added, “We’ll even pay the penalty.”
Su Yang frowned at the suited man. Was he the man competing with him?
Su Yang continued to swipe backward on the holographic panel, trying to see if he could get more useful information.
Soon, the imagery stopped. It was still the same restaurant with the same two people.
Uncle Fang. “Gee, I really can’t help it, he raised the price.”
The man in the suit drank his water. “How much?”
Uncle Fang’s eyes rolled.”Ah, it’s 12,000. He’s paying 12,000 a month.”
The man in the suit was startled as he replied, “Hold on, I’ll ask my leader.”
After saying that, he got up and took a few steps to the side to take out his cell phone for a call. “Director Qiao, the landlord said Su Yang is offering 12,000 a month.”
Su Yang leaned in close to the microphone and heard a woman’s thunderous voice, “Raise him! No matter how much he offers, let’s double it. Just drag down those three companies of his and see what kind of bottom line he still has in refusing to be acquired by the Junqing Company.”
The man in the suit replied cautiously, “Director Qiao, but buying this store is useless for us.”
The voice over the phone replied, “You’re such a fool! Do you think we really have to buy it after making the deal?”
The man was speechless, and so was Su Yang.
With just a few lines of dialogue, Director Qiao’s image in Su Yang’s heart had materialized. ‘This person is so ruthless.’
…
A simple explanation — One is able to find out all the other companies that another person runs via the name legally registered in the corporation. That was why Junqing was able to pinpoint several of Su Yang’s other companies.
