Chapter 1680: Not Everyone Can Understand

Huo Zhenteng:...

He suspected something was wrong with his ears and had misheard.

"You, what did you say?"

"I am preparing to open a restaurant, a chain, are you interested in being the General Manager? If you are interested, take these documents back and look them over. If there are no problems, come over at 8:30 tomorrow morning to sign the contract. If there are problems, come over tomorrow and ask them together. If you don't want to, then forget it." As Sheng Hanyu spoke, he took a file folder from the drawer and placed it in front of him.

This information had been prepared yesterday; it was prepared specifically for him, tailor-made.

Sheng Hanyu wanted to use this person. Even though he was a bad egg, if placed in a useful position, a bad egg could also shine and generate heat.

"I'm willing, I'm willing!" Huo Zhenteng nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Fine, then go back, go back and look at it carefully."

Huo Zhenteng left clutching the file folder. This time he didn't say thanks; he forgot.

The next day.

He appeared in Sheng Hanyu's office on time and replied: "I am very satisfied with the content of the contract; I have no objections."

Since there were no objections, it was signed and became effective. Immediately following that was the preparation, and then the opening!

For Dingsheng to want to open a restaurant, it couldn't be easier. It opened in minutes, large and impressive.

As the General Manager of the restaurant, Huo Zhenteng naturally wouldn't let go of the golden signboard that was Dingsheng. Before the restaurant even opened, the whole world knew that the boss behind him was Sheng Hanyu.

Sheng Hanyu returned home. Shi Youxuan took the coat her husband had taken off and said with a smile: "I heard a joke today, it's very funny. Huo Zhenteng opened a restaurant and actually said you are the boss..."

"That's right, I am the boss." Her husband gave an accurate answer.

Shi Youxuan:...

She was surprised for a moment, but quickly understood what her husband was thinking, and asked: "You are trying to pave the way for Zichen, right?"

Having been husband and wife for many years, many things didn't need to be said to be understood.

Her husband nodded: "Yes, but don't tell him. I said I would never support him being a cook; I have to keep my word."

Can this be called keeping one's word?

It was nothing more than deceiving oneself and others.

Shi Youxuan smiled and said nothing. Fine, whatever makes him happy.

But if someone is happy, someone else must be unhappy!

The news that the restaurant Huo Zhenteng opened was funded by Dingsheng spread as if it had wings, and it quickly reached Gu Zhihao's ears.

At first, he didn't believe it, thinking it was fake news, one hundred percent fake.

Huo Zhenteng was at odds with the Sheng Family everywhere, the two families were even in a lawsuit, and their relationship was like fire and water. How could they possibly cooperate?

But the false cannot become true, and the true cannot become false.

Although there were more and more people proving it, he had to believe that this news was actually true!

He flew into a great rage at home. For the first time in many years of marriage, he lost his temper at his wife, cursing her brother-in-law as a muddle-headed fool whose brain was flooded, and that her sister's brain wasn't working well either, acting as an accomplice to a tiger, and being a simpleton...

Shi Yuke was scolded but didn't talk back.

She knew her husband was suffering inside.

If it hadn't been for Huo Zhenteng back then, her father-in-law wouldn't have been framed and imprisoned unjustly, leading to the destruction of the Gu Family!

This hatred, whoever it happened to, no one could accept it.

There was more than just this that she couldn't accept; there was also why Sheng Hanyu would hire Huo Zhenteng to open a restaurant?

Weren't they enemies?

She couldn't understand it either, yet it wasn't easy to call her sister.

Shi Yuke owed her sister too much. In the past, she always felt that others owed her, and life was never satisfactory.

Later, she suffered a lot, and later still, when she looked back on the first half of her life, it was like a big dream. After she figured it out and changed her thinking, life gradually got better.

Although the current days weren't wealthy or noble, she was very satisfied, satisfied with this down-to-earth life.

Her personality had changed, so her methods had changed too. Shi Yuke wouldn't go around questioning others or troubling others about everything.

She silently cleaned up the mess her husband had made on the floor, and after cleaning up, she went to another room, ignoring him, letting him be quiet by himself.

She knew her husband's temper. No matter how big the matter was, after crying and making a scene, at most he would get drunk once, and in the end, it would be over.

But this time, her estimation was wrong; it wasn't that easy to just let it go.

Gu Zhihao got drunk, but he didn't get drunk at home. He carried a wine bottle to his parents' grave and cried bitterly. The more he cried, the more stifled he felt; it was simply too sad.

Why?

They were all relatives, how could they not show any consideration for family ties?

His family had a blood feud with Huo Zhenteng. It wasn't that Sheng Hanyu didn't know, yet he let him be the boss of the restaurant.

He couldn't understand it. Were all the people in this world dead?

It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but aren't there plenty of two-legged people?

Who couldn't be hired as General Manager? Why did it have to be him...

Gu Zhihao went down a dead end. The more he thought about it, the more stifled he felt; the more stifled he felt, the less he could understand it!

They say alcohol gives a coward courage, but there is a kind of coward who, even when drunk, still lacks the guts.

Gu Zhihao didn't dare to go find Sheng Hanyu to settle the score, so he took a taxi to outside the University City and smashed a branch of Chenxin Snack!

When a drunkard causes trouble, the store manager couldn't indulge his bad habits and immediately called the police.

When the police arrived, he was still cursing non-stop, clamoring for the boss, Sheng Zichen, to come out and see him.

No one notified the boss. The boss was in class at the classroom at this time, and naturally didn't know what had happened here.

The police took Gu Zhihao away, and only then did the store manager send a WeChat message to Zichen, telling him what had happened here.

"Smashed the shop? Who is it?"

Store manager: "It's a drunkard, drunk and rambling, and even claimed to be your master..."

Zichen hurriedly pulled up the surveillance footage, and upon looking, it really was his master!

He asked his teacher for leave and went to the police station to pick him up.

"Officer, this is a misunderstanding. It's a matter within our own family; please let him go."

Although Gu Zhihao had smashed up the shop, there were no casualties, only some property damage to the shop; since the owner wasn't pursuing the matter, the police wouldn't refuse to release him.

Releasing him was fine, but before doing so, they still had to criticize and educate him.

He had to be made to realize his mistake and promise that such a mistake would not be repeated next time.

This was the procedure, something every person who made a mistake had to go through upon coming in.

It was just that... after seeing Zichen, Gu Zhihao suddenly went crazy again, took off his Spring Shoes, and with scarlet eyes, charged over to beat him!

"You brat, you still dare to come? I'll beat you to death..."

Never mind beating him to death, the police didn't even let him get close to Zichen before they dragged him away.

"I said so much just now, and you're acting like you didn't hear a word? If you do this again, don't leave; let's just make it fifteen days of detention."

For once in his life, Gu Zhihao was tough, and he retorted to the police with bravado: "Fifteen days is fifteen days, you think I'm afraid of you?" He turned around and went back in, while Sheng Zichen stood where he was, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

His master was "tough," but he couldn't be; he said all the nice things he could, and only then did he convince the police to let him go in and talk to Gu Zhihao.

When Gu Zhihao saw Sheng Zichen follow him in, his anger flared up; he glared and said sarcastically, "Your family really has ability, every one of you is a person with connections everywhere; you can get in anywhere, is the police station run by your family too?"
