C372 – I Was Wrong!
The Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant collapsed, at least that was what Yang Maocheng felt.
In his opinion, with Yang De here, the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant was like Mount Tai that no one could shake, but he did not expect that the mountain would collapse even faster after the mountain god came back.
Before the Eighteen-arhat House could show its power, Yang De had already announced that the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant had been successfully bought by the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant. All the chefs would be taken over by the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant in the future. Those who were unwilling to leave could leave, and those who stayed could basically receive a huge increase in salary, including the waiters.
With such a condition, almost no one was willing to leave.
Humans were animals that valued relationships, but they also valued reality. If Old Master Yang continued to host the restaurant, and everyone was harmonious with each other, knowing that he was going to rise again and start a new business, there might still be people who would follow him.
But now that Old Master Yang said that he did not have that intention, no one could refuse to work. Since that was the case, why not work here? If they followed the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant, their salary could still increase by a lot, so why not?
As for Yang Maocheng replacing Old Master Yang to rise again, forget it. They did not believe in this person. If it wasn’t for him messing around here, the Flying Phoenix Great Restaurant would not have come to this step.
The Flying Phoenix Restaurant closed down, and people came one after another to renovate it. Other than the name not changing, the material and style of the signboard were like the Divine Dragon Great Restaurant’s phoenix and dragon.
Even if they were passersby, they knew very well who they were selling to. However, this result was not surprising, because Divine Dragon Great Restaurant had been too popular for a while now.
Flying Phoenix, which had been standing here for so many years, had met a powerful Divine Dragon. It was the time for it to fall.
Almost no one complained about the purchase, including the chefs of Flying Phoenix. At first, they were a little surprised, but they quickly accepted it calmly and looked forward to the future developments.
The only one who was hysterical was Yang Maocheng. After knowing the truth, he thought that the old man had gone crazy.
“Why? You sold such a big family property just like that? What kind of bewitching soup did Zhang Xiaolong feed you? And those chefs, were they working for you? Otherwise, why would they work so hard for Zhang Xiaolong? You must be old and confused. This is the blood and sweat of our family. Even if you don’t want to hand it over to me, you can’t hand it over to our enemy!” Yang Maocheng became more agitated as he spoke. He wanted to slap the old man on the table.
Pow!
Yang De slapped him on the face. His lips trembled as he said, “Why? You have the face to ask me why? Flying Phoenix is the blood and sweat of my entire life. Do you think it fell because you sold it to Zhang Xiaolong? It had fallen long ago! You didn’t want to properly manage it, nor did you think about how to improve the quality and taste of our Flying Phoenix. Instead, you tried to curry favor with Qiu Yuquan, and even brought Flying Phoenix to him to beg for mercy. Flying Phoenix had already fallen!”
“Don’t… Don’t say it so harshly. The Qiu family is a veteran in this industry, and the Restaurant and Catering Association is also a person who keeps his word. Yanjing Capital City knows that they are quite influential, and I have a good relationship with Qiu Yuquan because of the Flying Phoenix.” Yang Maocheng thought that these things would be done secretly and would not let the old master know. Who would have thought that it would be exposed now? His face immediately turned red.
Half of it was because he was beaten up, and the other half was because he knew that this matter was not honorable.
“Is there a need to go and pull the strings for him if you want to have a good relationship? I have already asked your senior brothers. Do you think that there are still a few people in the Flying Phoenix who don’t know about these things?” Yang De said with pain in his heart, “Your father has also been through a poor life, and it’s because he has suffered too much that he doesn’t want you to suffer any grievances. But now, it seems that I should let you experience more. Only then will you understand what you should do. Before you do something, you have to learn to be a human. Otherwise, it will all be bullshit! “
“You don’t have to scold me like that, do you? Why did I pull the strings? Qiu Yuquan has taken a fancy to a woman, so I helped to persuade her. If those women were not greedy, would Qiu Yuquan be able to get them?” Yang Maocheng argued, “I have never bullied men or dominated women, and I have never forced them to Qiu Yuquan’s bed …”
Yang De was so angry that he raised his hand again, scaring the other party into hurriedly retracting his hand. “You still want to force others? Do you know that that is against the law? Your father’s reputation in his entire life was ruined by a little brat like you. You pulled the strings for others, and you actually brought out the sense of honor? Fortunately, you didn’t bully men or dominate women, otherwise, I would have personally killed you! “
“In any case, I already said that in the end, they were caught by Qiu Yuquan because they were greedy for money, right? At most, I am just a support …” Yang Maocheng still did not think that he was in the wrong.
“What woman are you talking about? If they were really so greedy for money, why didn’t Qiu Yuquan succeed before? In this world, how many people are not greedy for money, and how many people are in trouble? Unless it is absolutely necessary, not many people are willing to exchange their women for two pieces of filthy money. But you, he didn’t succeed, and you jumped out to help these people overcome their difficulties. Instead, you tried to lure others. Honestly speaking, when I heard about Luh Xiaoya, I even had the heart to strangle you to death,” Yang De’s face was as ugly as death, “Do you know how your mother died?”
Yang Maocheng was stunned, and said in disbelief, “You … What did you say?”
“Back then, I didn’t have anything. I was guarding your mother and father, and I couldn’t do anything. Your mother was also working in a factory at that time, and the boss of the factory wanted to keep her. She didn’t agree no matter what, but in order to raise us useless father and son, she continued to work there. One time, when they were having a meal, someone drugged her drink. When she realized that something was wrong, she ran up the stairs with all her might. Some people saw it, and some people knew what was going on, but no one cared. They just watched her get stuck on the roof. In the end, your mother jumped down from that place to protect her innocence …”
When Yang De said this, tears were already flowing down his face. “If there was someone who could extend a helping hand, would your mother have died at such a young age?”
“Who was it? Who killed my mother? Why didn’t you tell me about it in the past?” Yang Maocheng was also anxious. He never thought that there would be such a thing.
At that time, he was still young and did not know what was going on. Sometimes, he even thought that it was because his mother disliked the family for being poor, but he did not expect it to be like this.
“It’s useless to ask those people. The people who killed your mother did not have a good ending. The problem is you.” Yang De said with pain in his heart, “What are you doing now? Compared to those people who watched your mother get killed, you are even more bastard and more detestable. Think about it, if you were there at that time, what kind of person would you be? You would have followed that bastard to block your mother. Yes, these people have nothing to do with you now, but who doesn’t have their parents? They might be other people’s mothers, other wives, other daughters, sisters …”
“Dad, stop talking.” Yang Maocheng fell to his knees and slapped himself hard on the face. “I am not good. I was wrong …”
