The Godly Rich System is looking for a replacement, and I've become a weapon!
Chapter 78 The Steps
Zhiye Collection.
Every time Zhang Yifang sees this name, he wants to complain.
I have no idea which idiot came up with this ridiculous name; it has a strange, indescribable flavor to it.
Jiang Chongshan invited him to dinner tonight, so he chose this place as the venue.
Everything must have a beginning and an end!
Just because Zhang Yifang can chat and laugh with Jiang Wanqin doesn't mean his business with the Jiang family is over.
Only now that he's sitting down to have this meal with Jiang Chongshan, waiting for Jiang Chongshan to give him a way out, does he truly intend to end things.
Today's Zhiye Market was quite lively, with about ten tables full of people.
Most people sat at the dozen or so tables set up outside, which is a unique feature of eating barbecue in the summer.
There were only two tables inside. One table was for Jiang Chongshan himself, and the other table was for Jiang Chongshan's bodyguards and driver.
Shen Youchu, whom we haven't seen in a long time, was actually in the store today. When she saw Zhang Yifang, she smiled and greeted him from behind the bar.
"Brother Fang is here!"
"Oh, is Boss Shen personally overseeing the shop today?"
Zhang Yifang smiled and said to her.
"The receptionist is on leave, so I'll cover for her for a day!"
Shen Youchu explained with a smile.
"Brother Fang, you've brought friends to support me again! Should we sit inside or outside today?"
She's obviously trained in traditional opera; her posture and demeanor are truly captivating!
Fortunately, Zhang Yifang was a seasoned veteran who had tasted good pork, so he handled the situation with ease.
"I made an appointment with Wanqin's dad, you see... that guy over there is him."
"Oh my, that uncle is actually Wanqin's father! Now that you mention it, it really does seem like him."
Shen Youchu leaned in and peeked inside, then covered her mouth and whispered.
On the other side, Jiang Chongshan saw Zhang Yifang looking over and waved to him.
"One side, this way!"
Zhang Yifang also raised his hand in acknowledgment and then stepped over.
"Mr. Shen, shall we talk later?"
"Okay! See you later."
Zhang Yifang unusually brought people with him today; Chen Hu and Liu Jie both came along.
Passing by a table, Zhang Yifang casually pointed to them and sat down.
Jiang Chongshan sat at a table by himself, while Zhang Yifang spoke with him alone.
Zhang Yifang casually placed two phones on the table, plopped down, and muttered curses under his breath.
"Uncle Jiang, it's freaking hot today! Just a few steps after getting out of the car and my underwear is soaked with sweat!"
"Hahaha! Here, have a sip to cool off."
Jiang Chongshan poured him a glass of draft beer, placed it in front of him, and said with a smile.
Zhang Yifang picked up the pineapple cup, clinked it with Jiang Chongshan's, and downed it in one gulp.
This is the drink you have to have in the summer! It's so refreshing and invigorating!
He acted as if he had never had any conflict with the Jiang family, picked up the menu on the table, and ordered some of his favorite dishes.
Shen Youchu's restaurant still has two dishes that can interest him.
For example, smashed cucumber and tiger salad!
"Uncle Jiang, it's been years since we had a meal together alone."
After Zhang Yifang finished ordering, he finally had time to take a look at Jiang Chongshan.
The old man's face showed obvious signs of fatigue, probably because his son had really worn him out this time.
"It's been two or three years, hasn't it? Our schedules never align; either you're busy or I'm busy!"
Jiang Chongshan responded with a smile.
Zhang Yifang placed the glass under the beer keg, taking the beer while talking.
"I won't be so busy from now on, so let's get together for drinks more often! Uncle Jiang, I've figured it out, I can just leave everything to the people below."
"Just focus on the big picture; doing everything yourself is too tiring and unnecessary! Right now, I mainly just enjoy life."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chongshan nodded heavily twice, agreeing and saying:
"Yifang, what you said really hit the nail on the head! I only realized this too late, and now I have to do everything myself."
"And what was the result? He worked hard all his life, made a lot of money, but failed to raise either of his children well."
"Especially my eldest son... Sigh! Come here, Yifang, let me apologize to you on his behalf!"
"We've spoiled this kid rotten. He doesn't know his place anymore, thinking he can cause trouble just because I have a little money!"
"If you hadn't spared my face this time and hadn't personally taught him a lesson, he'd be crying now."
Zhang Yifang waved his hand, picked up a few peanuts with his chopsticks, and put them in his mouth.
"Hey, Uncle Jiang~ Let's not talk about this! We can still have a drink together, right? There's no need to bring this up~"
Hey, these fried peanuts are good too, they taste like peanuts, so fragrant!
Jiang Chongshan couldn't really stay silent about why he came tonight; he was just offering Zhang Yifang a way out!
"Hey, that's not the same thing! We drank because we're good friends! Apologizing is my duty as a person."
"Here's what we're doing: my company still has a few projects that need manpower! I remember you have a few brothers who work in this industry, so we can assign them to these projects as an apology, okay?"
"There's another favor I need your help with! My company happens to have two projects that need spokespeople, and your son, Xiao Du, is a perfect fit! Yifang, do you think you could ask him to help out?"
The steps were offered, and Zhang Yifang went down them.
Aside from his wife being unvirtuous, his son being unfilial, and his daughter sleeping with other women, Old Jiang is otherwise a decent man.
"Uncle Jiang, I can make decisions about my brothers! But I really don't dare to agree to your request about my wife. I need to go home and ask for your permission."
Jiang Chongshan breathed a sigh of relief, laughed heartily, and held him in his arms, saying:
"Hahaha! Yifang, you're being modest, aren't you? Who in Jiangcheng doesn't know the name of 'Old Thief'?"
Zhang Yifang laughed heartily and proudly raised his head.
This guy is really not humble about this!
At this point, the waiter brought out all the dishes and skewers one after another. After a couple of drinks, the matter was resolved, and they started chatting.
The two started talking about the past, reminiscing about those days.
When the conversation turned to when Zhang Yifang planned to have children, Jiang Chongshan began to feel melancholy.
Let's not even talk about his unfortunate son; he's basically a useless son.
My daughter is obedient and sensible, and she also demonstrates good abilities at the company.
However, her sexual orientation has always been a thorn in Lao Jiang's side.
Come to think of it, if Li Shuran's father already knew, there's no reason why Jiang Wanqin's father wouldn't know.
Moreover, Jiang Chongshan's approach differed from that of Li Shuran's father; Jiang Chongshan chose to play dumb.
There was no other way; he had already ruined one son, and if his daughter interfered too forcefully, he was afraid he would ruin another one.
"Yifang, tell me, am I a complete failure as a person? I can't manage my wife, I can't teach my son, and my daughter... sigh! Apart from making hundreds of billions in business, my life is utterly worthless."
Jiang Chongshan picked up his wine glass and said something listlessly.
Zhang Yifang didn't think Jiang Chongshan was showing off, because he also had hundreds of billions.
After thinking about all the mess in this family, he really felt that Jiang Chongshan was a bit of a failure.
Old Zhang was a straightforward man; he couldn't think of any comforting words for the moment, so he just toasted along with everyone.
