Chapter 211: Chapter 211 The Immortal Son-in-law
"Hello, General Manager Zhang, welcome to my restaurant," Gao Le'an exclaimed excitedly.
To be honest, Wang Dalin gave him an impression of being high and mighty.
Zhang Yimin seemed much more approachable to him.
Then, one after another, a series of big shots stepped out of the other cars.
There was the general manager of Ali Investment.
The general manager of Green Pine Capital.
And there was Jiang Dahai, father of Jiang Yuheng.
Also the general manager of Hui'an Pharmaceutical, Ye Kaifeng.
Gao Le'an was utterly shocked.
Ali Investment, backed by the powerful Ali Group, had become a top-tier capital firm as soon as it was established.
The helmsperson of Ali Investment, the right-hand man of Boss Ma, was often featured in the newspapers.
Green Pine Capital, a globally top-ranked investment company.
Many of the companies it invested in had grown into Fortune Global 500 firms.
Jiang Dahai, Jiang Yuheng's dad, hailed from the southwest.
It was said that Jiang Yuheng's dad had extensive connections; he knew people from all walks of life.
Shen Wanpeng introduced Gao Le'an to the several big shots.
All the big shots nodded slightly toward Gao Le'an as a greeting.
Since Shen Wanpeng was making the introduction, the big shots naturally showed some politeness.
But that was it.
They were unlikely to have an in-depth conversation with the owner of a small restaurant.
At this time, at another restaurant nearby.
Two taxis arrived.
Five people got out of the cars: it was Liu Yujuan and her four sisters.
Yesterday, after careful consideration, Liu Yujuan felt there were no issues and that it was a viable investment, with a return of fifty percent per year; investing a million yuan could yield five hundred thousand, which was probably more than what the executives of a small company make annually.
Such an opportunity had to be seized.
As for the possibility of the restaurant owner deceiving people, Liu Yujuan did not believe it would happen.
Did they look like people who could be easily fooled?
So, today at noon, she came with her sisters to sign the contract and also to mooch another meal; after all, Owner Lu had said these two meals would be free—there was no reason not to take advantage of the offer.
"Ms. Liu, you've arrived, please come in quickly, I've prepared the dishes for you,"
Owner Lu Wei had been observing the gathering of big shots at the Elite Private Kitchen and noticed Liu Yujuan and her party arriving. He quickly retracted his gaze and came over to greet them.
Despite his curiosity about the big shots, his own business mattered most.
"Owner Lu, you sure know how to treat people. Knowing that we were coming, you prepared all the dishes in advance," Li Fang said with a smile.
"Hehe, of course," Lu Wei responded with a chuckle.
"Alright then, let's go inside," Li Fang said.
"Wait, look over there… why are there so many luxury cars?" Liu Yujuan noticed at the entrance of a restaurant a little distance away, a fleet of vehicles. These weren't just any cars, but Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, Maybachs—typical rich people's cars.
Cars like these were rarely seen, and stumbling upon just one was tough.
But now, there were several all at once.
"Could it be that some big shot is dining at that restaurant?" A question popped into Liu Yujuan's mind.
"Jie, look, isn't that your son-in-law Xu Yang?" Li Fang suddenly exclaimed.
"What, Xu Yang too?!" Liu Yujuan followed Li Fang's pointing finger,
"It is indeed Xu Yang!"
Why would Xu Yang be here? Did those cars have something to do with Xu Yang?
"The one standing with Xu Yang is Wang Xiaocong!"
"And also Jiang Yuheng, Young Master Jiang!"
"There's another one I don't know, but he must be a rich second-generation like Wang Xiaocong and Jiang Yuheng."
Liu Yujuan's sisters couldn't stop exclaiming in surprise.
Hearing their conversation, Lu Wei's face showed his amazement.
What did this mean?
The one standing with Wang Xiaocong and the others was this Liu Yujuan's son-in-law?
Liu Yujuan's son-in-law is that awesome?
Looking at Liu Yujuan, she doesn't seem like it.
If this Liu Yujuan is the mother-in-law to such a person, she wouldn't need to borrow a million to make five hundred thousand.
If she mentions it to her daughter and son-in-law when she gets back, they will certainly know she's lying about borrowing the money.
The son-in-law standing with Wang Xiaocong definitely can't fail to see through her tricks.
You guys don't need to make such a fuss, I already told you, Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, as well as Jiang Yuheng, are as close as brothers,"
Liu Yujuan said, brimming with pride.
Although Zhao Yulu hasn't gotten back together with Xu Yang, she feels it will definitely happen in the future.
Even if they don't get back together, with her sisters flattering her like this, she can't help but be swayed.
"Sister Yujuan, your son-in-law Xu Yang is too impressive!"
"Sister Yujuan, you're going to live the high life from now on."
"Sister Yujuan, you have to introduce my daughter to Xu Yang sometime, see if he can help me find a wealthy son-in-law."
"Ah, if my son had even one percent of your son-in-law's success, I'd be completely content."
"One percent? If my son had one-thousandth of that, I'd be satisfied."
"Sister Yujuan, don't forget about us in the future. We'll be counting on your help with our lives."
The sisters chatted animatedly, though their feelings were complex and hard to define.
To be honest, they were conflicted inside.
They both hoped that Liu Yujuan's daughter, Zhao Yulu, would reunite with Xu Yang and yet hoped they wouldn't.
If Zhao Yulu and Xu Yang get back together, Liu Yujuan would become the mother-in-law of a billionaire.
Then the gap between them and Liu Yujuan would widen, and they would have to curry favor with her.
Given Liu Yujuan's character, she would definitely act all high and mighty.
This was not something they wanted to see.
The feeling of having to cozy up to a once close friend was particularly unpleasant.
They could watch a stranger succeed without any issue, as it had nothing to do with their lives.
But it was difficult for them to accept seeing someone they knew doing better than themselves.
The better someone they knew was doing, the worse they felt.
Yet deep down, they still wanted to see Xu Yang and Zhao Yulu reunite.
Liu Yujuan had a very strong vanity and a few kind words could bring many benefits—she could take them out to dine, to beauty salons, or even buy them clothes and bags.
That's why they had such conflicting feelings.
"That's Billionaire Wang!" Li Fang exclaimed again.
"Billionaire Wang, are you serious, Wang Xiaocong's dad is here too? Where?" Liu Yujuan was also shocked and immediately looked around until she saw him, "It really is Billionaire Wang!"
Seeing Wang Xiaocong was surprising but still within the realm of acceptance, as she already knew about Wang Xiaocong's close relationship with Xu Yang.
But seeing Wang Dalin, that was beyond her scope of acceptance.
"My God, it really is Billionaire Wang!"
"I thought only Wang Xiaocong would come, never expected Wang Dalin too—he and his son have joined forces."
"Look quickly, Billionaire Wang seems to be walking over to where Xu Yang is."
"My God, isn't that Zhang Yimin from Byte Tread Company?!"
"What do you mean 'it seems to be'—it is!"
"TikTok is from Byte Tread. I read the reports. Zhang Yimin was ranked in the top ten on the last Fortune list, becoming as significant as Billionaire Wang and CEO Ma."
"And there are others, that one looks like our city's top tycoon Shen Wanpeng."
"I may not recognize the others, but to be in their company, they must be on the same level."
"My God, look, Xu Yang seems to be having a great time chatting with Billionaire Wang and Zhang Yimin."
"It's not 'seems to be', they are clearly enjoying themselves."
"Xu Yang being all chummy with these tycoons, just incredible!"
"I thought Xu Yang being brothers with Wang Xiaocong and Jiang Yuheng was impressive enough, but who would've thought he'd get on so well with someone on Wang Xiaocong's dad's level."
"Sister Yujuan, Xu Yang is literally a son-in-law sent from heaven!"
Liu Yujuan's sisters chattered non-stop, filled with envy and jealousy.
Envy was evident on their faces, while jealousy and resentment lingered in their hearts.
