Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Detention

Liu Yujuan, though she didn’t like Yang Jingsheng, felt a bit pleased to hear that Yang Jingsheng had been detained.

However, she knew how much Yang Tiancheng valued his son Yang Jingsheng.

Even though Yang Tiancheng hadn’t asked her to do anything, at times like this, she still needed to show a willingness to help.

Seeing her like this, Yang Tiancheng couldn’t help nodding his head.

He was quite satisfied with Liu Yujuan’s performance.

Just then, Zhao Yuxin’s voice came through the phone, “Liu Yujuan, you dare to call my dad heartless, say he has no humanity, but ask yourself, do you even have the right to say these words? To be honest, I have never seen anyone as shameless as you. I’m telling you, stop calling us. That Yang Jing Sheng, having done what he did, must face the consequences. We will definitely pursue this to the end!”

After that, the call was abruptly disconnected.

The expressions on the faces of the Yang family members became very ugly.

“Yulu, your biological father is really inhumane, not even listening to his own daughter’s words!” Yang Jingsheng complained a bit.

Zhao Yulu pursed her lips and said nothing.

“Since reconciliation is impossible, we have to think of other solutions,” said Liu Yujuan, diverting Yang Jingsheng’s attention to prevent him from targeting Zhao Yulu.

“Dad, what other solutions are there?” Yang Jingsheng asked, no longer blaming Zhao Yulu.

“There’s nothing else we can do now but to contact some connections and see if we can suppress this matter,” Yang Tiancheng sighed.

“Okay, Dad, use all your connections. After all, it didn’t cause any damage to Zhao Hai’s restaurant, so it should be fine, right?” Yang Jingsheng said.

“I can’t be sure. I can only try to get help,” responded Yang Tiancheng, who truly lacked confidence.

Things weren’t like before when just pulling some strings could easily gloss over such matters.

But now, as things become more regulated, even with officials wanting to help, they do so within the boundaries of the rules. They wouldn’t risk their careers for this.

“Dad, you must find someone to help solve this. I really don’t want to be detained,” Yang Jingsheng said bitterly.

“I know. I’ll go make some phone calls,” Yang Tiancheng said, standing up and going back to his room to make phone calls.

…

The next day.

Yang Jingsheng went to work with zero mood for it.

In the past, upon arriving at the company, the first thing he would do was flirt with the pretty female employees in his department. Today, he had no mood for that and went straight to his office.

His gloomy expression was a clear indicator of his bad mood.

And indeed, Yang Jingsheng was not in a good mood.

His father had said he reached out to some connections, but wasn’t sure if it would be effective.

This uncertainty left him anxious. If it didn’t work, he would be detained, and he was in no mood to flirt with female employees.

Even when the beautiful female employees greeted him, he didn’t respond.

“What’s with Supervisor Yang today?”

“I don’t know, seems like there’s something on his mind.”

“Could it be that he broke up with his girlfriend?”

“Even if he did break up, he wouldn’t be like this. He’s not short of girlfriends; if one leaves, there’ll soon be a new one.”

“We should focus on our work and not worry about that. With a father who’s a vice president, his life is better than ours no matter what.”

“Right, we should mind our own business and pay attention to the work at hand.”

The employees were all abuzz with gossip.

Yang Jingsheng entered his office, set down his briefcase, and leaned back in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling.

After some time, the phone on his desk rang.

It startled him.

He looked at the caller ID, and his face suddenly changed—it was a number from the city bureau.

This was not a good sign.

He took a deep breath and answered, “Hello.”

A deep voice came from the phone, “Hello, I am a police officer from the city bureau. Is this Yang Jingsheng?”

Yang Jingsheng’s heart trembled, “Yes, what’s the matter?”

The officer said, “You are suspected to be involved in a case, please come to the city bureau for an investigation.”

Yang Jingsheng’s complexion turned pale, “Okay, okay, I’ll come over.”

His father’s connections were definitely useless now.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be asking him to come in for an investigation.

He quickly stood up, left the office, and soon arrived at his father’s vice president’s office.

“Father, the city bureau called. They want me to come in for an investigation,” Yang Jingsheng’s face was still somewhat pale.

“Sigh, I just got off the phone with a friend who said it can’t be fixed. Zhao Hai hired a lawyer to follow up on this matter. There’s no way to help even if we wanted to,” Yang Tiancheng said with a sigh.

“Dad, is there really no way out?” Yang Jingsheng’s face grew even paler.

“There’s nothing we can do,” Yang Tiancheng said with a bitter shake of his head.

He wanted to save his son, but if he couldn’t, there was nothing he could do.

“How long will I be detained?” Yang Jingsheng asked with a gloomy face.

This was absolutely terrible news for him.

Once he was taken there, he would surely lose his job.

Even with his father’s connections, the company couldn’t possibly keep him.

Unless the boss or shareholders intervened, there might be a chance he could stay with the company.

But the weight of his father as vice president was still not enough.

“In such cases, my friend said it should be seven days to half a month,” Yang Tiancheng said.

“Father, is there really no hope?” Yang Jingsheng still couldn’t let go.

He hadn’t considered running away.

After all, the matter wasn’t that serious; if he ran, it would become serious.

If caught, it could mean not just detention or a stay in detention center, but possibly prison.

He still had that much sense.

“There are no other options. Go on, and don’t do such foolish things in the future. As for your job, we’ll discuss it after you get out,” Yang Tiancheng said with a sigh.

Yang Jingsheng didn’t speak again and dejectedly turned to leave.

Watching his son walk away, Yang Tiancheng sighed deeply.

Then, a cold light flickered in his eyes.

“Zhao Hai, you caused my son to be detained. If I ever get the opportunity, I definitely won’t let you off.”

…

On the other side.

Xu Yang and Zhao Hai arrived at Haidilao and called a high-level meeting.

“This is Mr. Zhao Hai. Mr. Zhao will be the president of the company from now on, and he will be fully responsible for the company’s day-to-day management,” Xu Yang introduced Zhao Hai to Haidilao’s senior executives.

Xu Yang said a few words and then left.

The rest was up to Zhao Hai.

He believed that with Zhao Hai’s abilities, he could definitely manage the company well.

Zhao Hai announced that the company’s employees would undergo unified training and that all the company’s stores would be renovated.

He also announced the latest salary system and incentive system to all staff.

The employees were thrilled.

Their salaries had increased by half.

To them, this was an immense surprise.

Such an opportunity for a raise wasn’t something that came around often.
