Chapter 249: Sheng Jianan’s Protection (9)
Qiao Zi wouldn’t ask much, although he thought that Sheng Jianan opening the backdoor like this wasn’t a good thing. One must know that most corruption starts with backdoor dealings.
But from another perspective, this is also the domineering CEO’s spoiled wife mode.
Moreover, Qiao Zi believed that Sheng Jianan had a sense of measure in his heart; he wouldn’t really joke around with Shengshi.
On the other end, Tang Yanqi returned to school for classes. There were no classes in the morning and two in the afternoon. After finishing classes, Tang Yanqi took out her new phone and found several missed calls, all from the Western restaurant.
This surprised Tang Yanqi a little. This was a phone Sheng Jianan had just given her. How did the Western restaurant’s owner know the number? Or perhaps Sheng Jianan hadn’t changed her number?
Tang Yanqi found a secluded corner to call back. As soon as the call connected, the restaurant owner’s wife spoke in an anxious tone: "Miss Tang, please don’t blame us. This Western restaurant is my heart’s effort. I didn’t know that such a thing happened that day..."
The restaurant owner’s wife rattled off a whole pile of words, leaving Tang Yanqi completely confused. What on earth was going on?
After talking for a full three minutes, Tang Yanqi finally understood what was happening. It turned out someone had caused trouble for the restaurant because Tang Yanqi was bullied in the Western restaurant that day.
Knowing about this incident, without even thinking, Tang Yanqi knew who was behind it. With a helpless sigh, she said to the person on the other end of the line, "Boss, I know. I’ll handle it, don’t worry."
On the other end of the line, the restaurant owner’s wife felt deeply grateful, while Tang Yanqi felt a bit helpless. The person who bullied her that day was Yang Yixiang; why was Sheng Jianan causing trouble for the restaurant?
Pressing her lips and falling silent for a moment, Tang Yanqi dialed Sheng Jianan’s number. It wasn’t long since they had parted, and now there was something again to discuss with him. For the first time, Tang Yanqi deeply felt that the relationship between her and Sheng Jianan seemed much closer than she ever dared to imagine.
The call quickly connected, and Tang Yanqi didn’t waste words, getting straight to the point. On the other end, Sheng Jianan’s tone was light: "At his restaurant, my person was bullied. Is there a problem with causing him trouble?"
Tang Yanqi: "..."
On the surface, what he said seemed fine, but this... was problematic.
Not to mention that the issue between her and Yang Yixiang was a personal vendetta unrelated to the restaurant, and she was bullied in the restroom, not in public view. Even if the restaurant staff wanted to protect her, how could they be so attentive?
Tang Yanqi focused on Sheng Jianan’s overbearing but unreasonable logic, completely ignoring the "my person" part, and sighed lightly, saying, "The restaurant owner has been kind to me, and I’m fine too. Can we not do this?"
Tang Yanqi’s tone was gentle, and she spoke in a negotiating manner. She felt she was seriously discussing the matter, but Sheng Jianan on the other end of the line heard a hint of coquetry.
Young Master Sheng threw away the pen in his hand, leaned back comfortably in his leather chair, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. This was the right tone—soft and gentle, pleasing to hear.
Sheng Jianan tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, raised one eyebrow, and said, "It’s not impossible for me to let them off, but what benefit will you give me?"
The last two words were spoken with a rising intonation, leaving Tang Yanqi completely stunned.
What benefit should she give him?
My goodness, he’s the one who went out of his way to cause trouble for others, and now he wants to get some benefit from her? What kind of logic is that?
