Chapter 331: Chapter 223: All Very Capable

“The company only has so much Maotai, and it’s all for entertaining VIPs. That Zhao Rui is just some wet-behind-the-ears kid. Why would we give him Maotai? Is a 300-plus yuan bottle of liquor not good enough for him?”

Han Chao felt awkward. He’d misunderstood Li Yang. When Li Yang told him to bring a couple of bottles of good liquor, he’d thought he meant Maotai. It turned out Li Yang was just saying it for show.

“President Li, Zhao Rui and I both thought it was going to be Maotai…”

Li Yang understood instantly. This idiot must have let it slip. If there was no Maotai tonight, the whole dinner would be a waste. Zhao Rui would definitely be unhappy.

‘Oh well. I’ve already spent so much money, what’s the cost of these last two bottles of liquor?’

After signing, he tossed the form to Han Chao. “You fucking… Don’t go wild the second I give you some leeway. Save money where you can. Business is tough right now, and money isn’t easy to make.”

“Yes, Boss. I understand.”

After sending Han Chao away, Li Yang sat back in his executive chair and thought of Yang Hui again—he was useless to him now. ‘Relying on others is never as good as relying on yourself. It’s safest to keep your resources in your own hands.’

In Xia Jie’s rented apartment, Zhu Jing was lying on the sofa, her hand guiding Yang Hui’s forward advance from behind.

Yang Hui was perfectly composed, an expert at using stillness to counter motion. “I told you I could understand what’s in your heart. I know why you’re unhappy now. It’s because the news that you’re leaving Futong Commerce has spread, and some of your staff are sad to see you go, isn’t it?”

Zhu Jing buried her head in the sofa’s throw pillow, listening to the voice coming from behind her and nodding repeatedly.

Yang Hui laughed heartily. “Aren’t you foolish? Let me knock some sense into you. Even Xia Jie knows to bring a few of her trusted people with her. If you have any truly promising employees, you can just bring them over to Yanghe Commerce in the future.

“As for the others, I don’t think you should overthink it. All good things must come to an end. You need to get used to it.”

Zhu Jing struggled to turn her head, her black hair cascading down. “I don’t want to part with you.”

“Of course you can’t part with me. Besides, you know… I’ve been proving it with my actions.”

With a soft moan, Zhu Jing’s face flushed red. Yang Hui helped her sit up. “And, Zhu Jing, you’ve also been proving it with your actions—”

Zhu Jing faced him, her eyes hazy as she gazed at him, not understanding what she was supposedly proving.

“Ah—”

‘This boss of mine is so naughty. He’s always saying such strange things.’

「One hour later.」

Yang Hui sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking refreshed and invigorated. Zhu Jing sat down beside him and said softly, “Are you tired? Let me give you a massage.”

He waved his hand. “Forget it. I feel like you worked harder than I did. You should rest. I have to leave in a bit. If Xia Jie comes back and sees this, she might think you were sneaking a snack, haha!”

“Why would you say ‘sneaking a snack’? Could it be that Xia Jie and you—”

*Er…* ‘His smile froze. He hadn’t expected the girl to learn how to counterattack.’

He quickly changed the subject. “You’re getting ready to take over Zen next week. Xia Jie has been managing it in the interim. Since you two live together, it’s a good opportunity for you to get familiar with it ahead of time. You can consider it part of the handover.”

“Starting July 1st, you’ll be managing the store while also undergoing company training. It’s probably going to be a very busy few days for you.”

At the mention of her new job, Zhu Jing’s eyes lit up. She talked with Xia Jie every day. Besides the company being attractive because of Yang Hui, it was also a paradise for employees like them.

The pay was high, the benefits were good, and the company was both customer-first and employee-oriented—it was a utopia they’d never even dared to dream of before. According to Xia Jie, the current employees cherished their jobs so much that everyone spontaneously looked out for the company’s interests. And why wouldn’t they? With a job this good, who wouldn’t want it to last forever? Anyone who acted against Yanghe Commerce’s interests would probably be treated as a public enemy.

“It’s fine. Xia Jie has already gone through the training and has the materials. I’ve already started studying them in advance. I’ve also been familiarizing myself with the Zen brand materials for a long time. Plus, I talk with Xia Jie a lot, so managing the store won’t be a problem.”

Yang Hui stood up. “Of course I believe in you. You’re the most capable.”

Zhu Jing felt there was a hidden meaning in his words and subconsciously asked, “What about Xia Jie?”

He looked down at her, his charming eyes narrowing into a wicked smile. “She’s also very capable.”

Near the end of the workday, Yang Hui drove off first. When he got home, he found that Yang Bing had come over again. He couldn’t help but find it strange—’My little girl’s grades are so good, how could she have so many questions she doesn’t understand?’

He didn’t think much more of it, though. ‘The later lessons are probably getting harder. No matter how smart a child is, it’s impossible to understand everything after hearing it just once.’

During dinner, Yang Hui spoke politely to Yang Bing again. “We’re troubling you every day, Teacher Yang. I’m really sorry. Du’Er is naughty at school and must cause you a lot of trouble.”

Yang Bing smiled faintly and looked at Du’Er. “Du’Er is actually quite well-behaved. She’s also getting along well with little Feng Yan now.”

“Is that so?” Yang Hui looked at Wenren Du’Er, finding it hard to believe that a person’s naughty personality could change just like that.

In a moment of carelessness, he lost his grip on his chopsticks, and they fell to the floor. He immediately bent down to pick them up. As he straightened up, he felt a rush of heat to his nose and almost had a nosebleed—she was wearing white panties.

At that moment, Yang Bing, whose legs had been parted, snapped them shut. Yang Hui had already picked up his chopsticks and sat up straight, but he didn’t dare to look Yang Bing in the face. However, in his peripheral vision, he could see her staring at him with a frosty expression, her eyes full of contempt. ‘Well, so much for my good image. It’s collapsed again.’

The little girl said, “Daddy, you’re a grown-up. How could you drop your chopsticks?”

This comment made Yang Bing’s glare even more hostile. She had already suspected this big pervert had done it on purpose to get a cheap thrill.
