Chapter 2020: Chapter 1980: Local Tyrant
Ye Weidong remembered Ye Qiu saying he would go to Jiangzhou tonight with him to handle some trouble at a branch, so he left work early and came back home.
When the three returned, Ye Qiu, Xiaomai, and Lin Xiang had just finished dinner.
Ye Weidong took out his unfinished cigar and continued smoking, looking at Ye Qiu and asking, "Ye Qiu, didn’t you say you were going with me to solve the problem? How are you going to solve it?"
"Dad, you’ll find out then."
In Ye Qiu’s view, it doesn’t matter what kind of troublesome ants there are, it’s really just whose fist is bigger, and they fear that person.
Ye Qiu had seen a lot of such situations.
But now, it’s still early.
Ye Qiu wasn’t in a hurry.
"Dad, just enjoy this cigar, and I’ll go upstairs."
"You cheeky brat."
After Ye Qiu went upstairs, he opened his computer to continue playing a gun battle game.
Lin Xiang pushed the door open and came in, seeing Ye Qiu playing a game, it seemed like a gun battle type, and thought he was playing CF.
"Are you playing CF?"
"What do you think?"
Lin Xiang could play this game but not often; the game is played by quite a few in the Chinese community.
However, now she looked closely and found some differences, as the upgrades also seemed different, this game appeared much harder.
Looking at it, she realized it really wasn’t.
"Ye Qiu, what game is this?"
"My company is the agent. If you want to play, do it in your own room."
Ye Qiu’s company is the agent?
She had already seen the endorsing actress, Huo Yingying.
This Huo Yingying is popular all over Southeast Asia, especially loving her Cantonese and Mandarin songs. Unexpectedly, she’s endorsing this Mainland China game.
Huo Yingying eagerly returned to her room, opened her laptop, and searched the web, and indeed it’s the game Ye Qiu mentioned.
This game was developed by Korea, but it’s agented by a not-so-famous game company.
This turns out to be Ye Qiu’s company.
This made Lin Xiang even more shocked.
Especially going online to check, discovering that at its peak in August, when all schools nationwide were on holiday, this game’s online count surpassed eight million, making it one of the hottest games.
As for today, there are still more than five hundred thousand online.
This was unexpected for Lin Xiang.
Upon seeing the game introduction, Lin Xiang liked it even more and hurriedly downloaded the client to play.
Soon, she found out that actually, this game doesn’t require frequent spending to recharge to play; if you’re good at it, you can still earn money.
...
While Lin Xiang was playing, Ye Qiu checked the time and came downstairs.
Ye Weidong was enjoying his cigar the whole time, the smell of donkey dung made Chen Fang and Ye Xue, and Xiaomai feel uncomfortable, so they made Ye Weidong smoke outside in the yard.
However, now Ye Weidong had grown fond of the cigar’s spicy taste and the throat-hitting sensation, he really felt a bit unaccustomed to smoking regular cigarettes.
But these cigars, Ye Qiu didn’t bring back many, he gave some away to others too, so he smoked them occasionally.
"Ye Qiu, are we ready to go?"
"Ready to head over."
It’s about an hour’s drive from here to Jiangzhou, not too far.
When getting in the car, Ye Weidong didn’t drive his own.
Heading towards Jiangzhou, Ye Qiu had already notified Cai Yong to bring a few people over.
It’s just a few people.
Arriving at a place located in a prime area of the city center and parking outside, Ye Qiu said, "Dad, now I understand why the previous restaurant here had such good location but poor business."
"Why?"
"Besides possibly poor culinary skills, more naturally because someone is causing trouble."
Actually, no matter what business, as long as someone causes trouble, it’s very hard to succeed.
Obviously, it’s the same here now.
Ye Weidong thought about it and agreed.
As Ye Weidong and Ye Qiu went inside, Ye Qiu saw the interior was already about seventy to eighty percent renovated, but now because someone caused trouble, it delayed quite a bit.
For Ye Qiu, time is money, especially when the rent here isn’t cheap, and now, with Imperial Cuisine Restaurant’s business still doing so well.
Going up to the second floor.
"Dad, did you notify the boss to come over?"
"I called him."
"Boss Xiao, regarding your protection fee, we’d like to discuss it."
"Boss Ye, that’s better, we’ll come over."
From the other end of the line, after a few beeps, a rough middle-aged man’s voice came.
Such parasitic disgusting things, Ye Qiu genuinely detested them.
Standing on the second-floor window with Ye Weidong looking outside, it was clear that the Jiangzhou night market is still bustling, even though it’s already past ten o’clock.
Jiangzhou, being the second-largest city in Jiangnan Province with over ten million people, and near East Sea City, is comparable to Jinling.
Opening three to four branches of Imperial Cuisine Restaurant here is surely no problem.
"Qiu Ge, we’re here."
Cai Yong just heard Ye Qiu say to bring a few brothers over, and he brought them, exactly a few, in the car downstairs.
"Just stay in the car, afraid if you come down, you’ll scare the local turf snakes."
Turf snakes?
Cai Yong already understood.
About half an hour later, a black tough SUV stopped downstairs, a middle-aged man in casual wear with a few young folks behind him.
Seeing it’s Boss Ye personally calling, obviously he was yielding.
As Boss Xiao entered, going to the second-floor office, he saw besides Boss Ye, there was a young man.
"Boss Xiao, you’re here. This is my son; as long as you can convince him, I’ll pay any protection fee."
"What protection fee, it’s our equity co-operating fee."
Charging protection fees is illegal; this Boss Xiao isn’t that stupid.
Equity co-operating fee?
Ye Qiu sneered inwardly.
But Boss Xiao, looking at the slender young man in front, smiled and said, "Boss Ye, your son is taller than you, but why doesn’t he look like you!"
He doesn’t look like him?
Isn’t that an insult?
Ye Weidong inwardly disliked it.
Even if he knew Ye Qiu wasn’t his biological son, who would say that to his face?
Ye Qiu was even less happy, coldly asking, "Are you the damn Boss Xiao? Get to the point, what benefit do you want from me?"
Damn Boss Xiao?
The young men Boss Xiao brought were angered, looking at Ye Qiu saying, "Kid, watch your mouth."
"Who said you could speak?"
Before Boss Xiao could react, that young man was directly sent flying, hitting the wall.
