Chapter 2859 Peng Jiahe, Homeless
"Correct!"

Sitting across from Lu Yuan at the desk, with his age and experience, he was astonished to see that the shop owner was Jiang Lai, but he didn't show it on his face.

"I just heard from someone that you belittled my menu to the point of being worthless?"

Jiang Lai, with bright red lipstick, sat gracefully in her office chair, her legs crossed.

As she spoke, she leaned slightly forward, as gracefully as a swan. Her back was straight, her shoulders relaxed, and her head tilted gently as if listening to a melodious tune.

She recognized Lu Yuan because when she went to smash up Jiang Haokun's house that day, she happened to see a group photo of their old classmates, and then followed the clues to find out the relationship between them.

Otherwise, if anyone dared to overturn her menu, given Miss Jiang Lai's temper, she would have turned her back on them and kicked them out long ago. How could she possibly have Lu Yuan come for an interview the next day?

The main reason for keeping Lu Yuan around was to cause some trouble for Jiang Haokun!
Although I've gotten everything I wanted, the ease with which I got it doesn't bring me any real joy.

We can't let him get away with this so easily. Jiang Lai must avenge Chen Fang!

"Boss, your menu is indeed worthless. I don't know where you found your chef, but if you use my menu, I guarantee I can boost the restaurant's revenue!"

Just like Jiang Lai recognized Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan actually recognized Jiang Lai as well. The two had met before, after all, he and Jiang Haokun were "good brothers".

However, Jiang Lai was still young at that time, so the impression may not be very deep. Now that she has grown up, she has changed a lot.

The reason I recognized the other person at a glance is because I went to Jiang Haokun's office a while ago and happened to see a photo of the brother and sister together. I also heard from the waiter that their boss's surname is Jiang. With these connections, I confirmed their identities.

"Let's try the dishes!"

"Good~"

The two of them were each harboring their own secrets and scheming against each other.

The Western restaurant has an extremely advantageous location, practically worth its weight in gold. After Jiang Lai took over, she implemented sweeping reforms, spending at least tens of millions on renovations, plus various other personnel and miscellaneous tasks, bringing the total to tens of millions.

Putting aside other aspects, Lu Yuan's cooking skills are at least okay. He quickly made his signature Wellington steak.

"Okay, congratulations on joining the company!" Jiang Lai made the decision immediately after taking a quick bite.

……

Now that the family business has split up, Jiang Haokun, whose plans have been disrupted, naturally no longer has a group office. Without anyone asking him to leave, he readily moves out to make room.

He specifically arranged for someone to rent a floor in the Lujiazui Financial Center to set up an investment company, mainly to manage AI and artificial intelligence, as well as invest in electric vehicles such as Tesla.

The current office is not as big as the previous one; it's mainly a temporary temporary measure.

"Mr. Jiang, Ms. Gan's situation has been resolved!"

"Fine!" Jiang Haokun didn't care about the house and the car at all, but he didn't want to let Lu Yuan get away with it so easily.

"By the way, Mr. Jiang, I should mention that after Mr. Jiang took over the real estate company, he has already halted the previous merger and acquisition plans!"

"Well, if it's going to rain, it's going to rain; if Mother wants to remarry, let her be!"

Jiang Haokun wanted to go public because he was not optimistic about the future of the real estate industry. But the old man was now obsessed with making money with Xu Jiayin, the boss of Evergrande.

So why bother listing it on the stock exchange?

Older generations generally don't care much about this, feeling that they don't have all the power in a listed company and have an extremely strong desire for control.

"Mr. Jiang, if you have nothing else, I'll head back now. Call me if you need anything!" The lawyer said goodbye after completing his task.

"I'll take you."

You're too kind!

Meanwhile, Gan Jingna was in trouble.

Not only did she lose her house and car, but her company was shut down due to some unqualified practices, leaving her with almost nothing in the blink of an eye. She's been looking for work for the past two days, but nothing has been ideal. Gan Jing feels there's too much discrimination against 38-year-olds in the workplace these days.

Faced with the good news that Lu Yuan had brought back, she couldn't muster any interest at all. Exhausted, she slumped on the sofa, not wanting to move a single finger. Having been used to a life of luxury, suddenly being moved to a rented room was somewhat unsettling.

She said weakly, "Lu Yuan, I want to be alone. Can you please be quiet?"

"If there's nothing else, you can go now."

Well, Gan Jing is kicking people out again.

But Lu Yuan wasn't Jiang Haokun; he wouldn't just leave obediently. He used his smooth talk to slowly get closer to Jiang Haokun.

A few minutes later, the two of them ended up rolling around together in a daze, just as they were about to take the next step.

"You and I are just ordinary people, born into this world..." A loud cell phone ringtone sounded.

This startled Gan Jing, who shoved Lu Yuan aside. "Answer...answer the phone!"

Lu Yuan, who was about to succeed, was furious. "Ignore it!"

Just as we were about to continue

"Gan Jing... Ouch~" He was kicked to the ground.

He rubbed his lower back and said with displeasure, "What are you doing?"

"Lu Yuan, can't you show me some respect?"

"I haven't agreed to get back together with you yet!"

After this interruption, Lu Yuan lost interest. After all, he was middle-aged and had no choice. He lived a life of pleasure in America, which was why he looked so strong.

"Go, I'm leaving, I'm leaving, okay!" Seeing that Gan Jing was angry and wanted to kick him out, he simply didn't bother with the trouble, grabbed his coat, put on his shoes and left the rented room, planning to stay in the dormitory assigned by the restaurant tonight.

I had just reached the bottom of the stairs when the phone rang again. I answered it immediately and angrily held it to my ear. "Who is it?"

"Lu Yuan, it's me!" Peng Jiahe cried helplessly on the other end of the phone.

"Who are you? I don't have time to play dumb with you!" Lu Yuan was already angry. He felt that his good time had been interrupted by this phone call, and it would be strange if he had a good temper, after all, he was a rotten person.

"Lu Yuan, you bastard, I am Peng Jiahe!"

"What's wrong with you!" Lu Yuan barely refrained from swearing because of Peng Hai. "Didn't we already send you to your mother's?"

"Lu Yuan, that woman doesn't want me, and that bastard is no good either, he actually dared to take advantage of me!"

"Lu Yuan, what should I do now?"

“Jiahe, Peng Hai entrusted you to me, and I safely sent you back to China, then handed you over to your mother. I didn’t keep a single penny of the money your father left behind; it was all transferred to a tent that only you could withdraw.”

“You’re a grown woman now, and I’ve transferred guardianship to your mother. You should know I have no right to interfere in this matter, so my suggestion is to call the police!”

Lu Yuan's meaning was already very clear: as Peng Hai's friend, he had done everything he could, without cheating or harming him, and without keeping a single penny of his money. So why was he still looking for him at this point?
"So you don't want to care about me anymore, is that it?" Peng Jiahe felt extremely helpless. At this moment, she was sitting alone by the roadside, filled with anger and feeling like the whole world had abandoned her.

"Lu Yuan, you're a real bastard! My dad made a mistake in choosing you!"

"No..." Lu Yuan was about to say something when he heard a busy signal in his ear.

I was about to call, but I hesitated and put the phone away. Guardianship had been transferred to her mother, but she still had to take responsibility for her own life.

He's not a pushover.
