Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 142: Let You Understand Your Place

“How could this happen, how could this happen!” Chen Guanglei muttered to himself, his complexion turning somewhat pale.

“So, no matter what you have with him, don’t provoke him anymore. Otherwise, it will only be a case of asking for trouble. This time, the other shareholders of Xingchen Film and Television have joined forces to pressure me, and I will have to lose at least fifty million to settle this matter, just because you provoked Xu Yang. I lost fifty million; if you provoke Xu Yang again, if he retaliates, I could lose five hundred million or even more,” Chen Ankang said.

Chen Guanglei said nothing, his face a fluctuating mix of expressions.

He had not anticipated that Xu Yang, whom he looked down upon, mocked, and regarded as a country bumpkin, would so quickly become someone he could not afford to provoke.

Merely mocking him had cost his father fifty million.

Fifty million.

Even if his father’s net worth was several billion, fifty million was no small sum.

Their family’s villa was worth about the same amount.

Just like that, a villa was gone.

“However, the idea you proposed, for the stars of Xingchen Film and Television to cooperate with Jia Sheng Guild in live-streaming sales, is a very good one. No one has yet tried this, and I believe it will achieve good results. If you focus your mind on your business, you will be able to achieve something,”

Chen Ankang changed the subject upon seeing the look on his son’s face, giving him a certain degree of affirmation.

“Dad, I understand,” Chen Guanglei said, his complexion improving somewhat upon hearing his father’s affirmation.

“All right, just remember what I said. You can go now; I have work to deal with,” Chen Ankang waved his hand, dismissing his son.

He had said his piece, believing his son knew what to do.

If his son could not understand even this, then he would be incredibly foolish.

His son was not that foolish!

Chen Guanglei returned to his own office.

“Xu Yang, you’re ruthless, making my dad lose fifty million!”

“This time, with Jia Sheng Guild collaborating with Xingchen Film and Television on live-streaming sales by celebrities, pioneering celebrity live-stream commerce, we’ll definitely surpass your Fengcai Guild!”

…

After eating lunch, Xu Yang, Wu Jing, and others went home.

Once home, he received a call from Ye Kaifeng, the owner of Hui’an Pharmaceuticals.

“Mr. Xu, we’ve succeeded in developing the cancer drug!” Ye Kaifeng said excitedly.

Persistence finally paid off; they had developed the cancer drug.

This was epoch-making.

One could imagine that Hui’an Pharmaceuticals, with this drug, would definitely become a giant in the pharmaceutical industry.

The person Ye Kaifeng wanted to thank the most for the success in developing the medicine was Xu Yang.

Without Xu Yang’s investment, even if he wanted to persist, he could not have continued.

It’s not that the investments from other investors were unimportant; it’s just that Xu Yang was the one who came through in his hour of need, the one most deserving of his gratitude.

“That’s great! Next up is the clinical trial phase, right?” Although he knew it was bound to succeed, hearing the news still made him very happy.

This investment, in just a few years, could bring him an income of at least ten billion.

“Yes, after the clinical trial, we can start selling, but it will take some time,” Ye Kaifeng laughed.

The two chatted for a while before ending the call.

In the blink of an eye, it was April.

Jiang Bottom Fishing’s stores in the four major first-tier cities were officially open for business.

Xu Yang and Zhao Hai flew to various first-tier cities to attend the opening ceremonies.

After making the rounds, a week passed.

As expected by everyone, the opening of Jiang Bottom Fishing was very popular.

Online calls for Jiang Bottom Fishing to open stores in second- and third-tier cities rose again.

Xu Yang and Zhao Hai discussed it and thought it feasible to gradually proceed with this.

Zhao Hai took care of these specific matters.

Xu Yang was a hands-off manager; after discussing it, he did not concern himself with the details anymore.

…

That day.

Zhao Yulu finished work and went home.

Liu Yujuan noticed Zhao Yulu’s complexion and asked curiously, “Yu Lu, you seem to be in a good mood these days. Is something nice happening?”

Indeed, Zhao Yulu always seemed to be in a good mood whenever she came home these past few days.

It had been like this for several consecutive days, and today Liu Yujuan couldn’t help but ask.

Zhao Yulu nodded with a smile and said, “There is good news. Our guild collaborated with Xingchen Movies and TV to pioneer celebrity livestreaming sales. The effect has been very good. Last month, our sales ranked first among all the big guilds on Douyin, and the company awarded bonuses to every employee.”

Liu Yujuan said, “That is indeed good news.”

Then, she pulled Zhao Yulu down to sit and swiftly changed the subject, “Yu Lu, I’m asking you, if I divorce Yang Tiancheng, would you support me?”

Zhao Yulu was taken aback, then quickly said, “Whether I support you or not, it wouldn’t change your decision, would it?”

“That’s true,” Liu Yujuan said. “I’m going to confront Yang Tiancheng today. When you get a chance, pack up your things; we’ll move out tonight. We’ll stay at a hotel first, and in the next few days, I’ll rent us a house.”

Zhao Yulu nodded, “Okay.”

If Liu Yujuan was divorcing Yang Tiancheng, she naturally would follow Liu Yujuan.

She never had much of a sense of belonging to this home.

It wasn’t like she would stay in this house after Liu Yujuan left.

At that moment, Yang Tiancheng and Yang Jingsheng returned home.

Yang Tiancheng looked very upset.

Today, he had resigned from the company, having completed the procedures.

Starting from tomorrow, he would have to look for a new job.

There was no other choice; recently, his boss had stopped assigning him any work, cut his performance bonuses and other rewards, retaining only his base salary.

The boss was forcing him out.

Moreover, his previously good colleagues began to avoid him.

Many employees were talking behind his back.

He couldn’t take it anymore and resigned in the afternoon.

The boss made a token effort to keep him, uttering a few symbolic pleas before approving his resignation.

Yang Jingsheng was still jobless and had gone out to hang out today.

On their way back, Yang Jingsheng happened to run into Yang Tiancheng returning from work, so they went upstairs together.

Seeing Yang Tiancheng’s foul mood, Yang Jingsheng asked what was wrong.

Yang Tiancheng shared the situation, which soured Yang Jingsheng’s mood as well.

“Yujuan, let’s have dinner,” Yang Tiancheng said, putting down his briefcase and heading towards the dining room.

It was basically the same routine every day when he got home from work.

His return marked dinner time.

“I didn’t cook,” Liu Yujuan said.

She was planning to confront Yang Tiancheng today, so of course, she wouldn’t have cooked dinner.

“Why didn’t you cook, and why didn’t you tell me if you hadn’t cooked?” Yang Tiancheng stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Liu Yujuan, and feeling even more irritated than before, his expression grew darker.

“There’s no reason. I just didn’t feel like cooking today,” Liu Yujuan said expressionlessly.

“Liu Yujuan, you frequently skip cooking these days. You could at least have notified us. We put up with it. Today you didn’t cook, so why didn’t you inform us? What exactly are you trying to do, stage a rebellion?” Yang Jingsheng, also in a bad mood, immediately roared.

Liu Yujuan glanced at Yang Jingsheng but didn’t say anything.

“Say something, I’m telling you, if you don’t give a solid reason, I will have to teach you a lesson and make it clear to you what your place is in this family!” Yang Jingsheng’s anger intensified upon seeing Liu Yujuan’s silence.
