400块钱4个小时上门后给钱

In the short term, this might bring in more money, but in the long term, it would be a losing deal.

Running a company, Xu Yang always considered its long-term development.

He was not the kind who would make a quick buck and then take off after a few years.

Therefore, he felt the need to caution Xiao Dongsheng.

Xiao Dongsheng was shaken and quickly responded, “Boss Xu, rest assured, I am not the kind of person who would do anything for money without scruples. I have my limits and know how to ensure the company’s long-term development. I would never do anything to harm the company’s interests. As soon as we finalize the cooperation with Douyin, I will definitely supervise the product selection for the live streams strictly, ensuring they are all of excellent quality and well-received by the public.”

Honestly, even without Xu Yang’s reminder, he wouldn’t have gotten involved in such things, or let the hosts sell fake or inferior products for the sake of profits.

But he wouldn’t have placed as much emphasis on the quality and reputation of the products.

With Xu Yang’s reminder, he now had to take it very seriously.

The selection of products had to be the best of the best.

Xu Yang nodded with satisfaction, “Good, then prepare these next few days and reach out to Douyin for the collaboration. As soon as the partnership is settled, choose high-quality, highly-reputed brand products. If you need me to step in for anything, call me right away.”

Xiao Dongsheng immediately replied, “Understood.”

“Alright, I’ll be taking my leave now.” Xu Yang stood up and left.

…

That evening, at the Yang’s.

Liu Yujuan had finished cooking and called everyone to dinner.

Yang Tiancheng brought out his treasured Moutai liquor.

He also took two glasses and poured two servings.

One was for himself, and the other for his son, Yang Jingsheng.

Zhao Yulu and Liu Yujuan didn’t drink liquor, so Yang Tiancheng didn’t pour any for them.

Seeing his father’s actions, Yang Jingsheng couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, is there some good news today?”

Yang Tiancheng took a sip of Moutai with relish, let out a contented “ah” and smacked his lips before cracking a slight smile, “Today the boss held a senior management meeting and discussed the hot pot chain plan I proposed. The plan got approved, and I’m in charge of the hot pot chain project. We will start with opening twenty hot pot restaurants in Jiangcheng. As long as the Jiangcheng hot pot chain operates smoothly, we will expand to major cities across the country. The boss also promised that if the project is successful, he will make me the Executive President of the group.”

Yang Tiancheng worked for a company called Meiwei Group, where Liu Yujuan and he benefited from his position, both serving as managers.

He had discussed the hot pot chain plan with Liu Yujuan and Yang Tiancheng before.

He was currently a vice president of the group, where there were several vice presidents each managing different areas.

As a long-standing catering group in Jiangcheng, Meiwei Group owned several brands, including fast-food brands, high-end restaurant brands, as well as various snack brands catering to different regional tastes.

In brief, Meiwei Group was a large-scale catering conglomerate.

They hadn’t yet ventured into hot pot.

Yang Tiancheng’s proposal coincided precisely with the boss’s vision.

The senior executives also felt it was necessary to fill this gap.

So, after discussions, they decided to initiate the hot pot chain project.

Many of Yang Tiancheng’s ideas had the boss’s support, which led to him being appointed to lead this project.

If Yang Tiancheng could handle this well, he would be promoted to president.

This promise from the boss made other high-level executives in the group quite envious.

It could be said that with the boss’s backing, there was almost no chance of failure for this project.

Yang Tiancheng’s appointment as the president of the group was a done deal.

After the meeting today, other senior executives from the group had all come over to show their goodwill toward Yang Tiancheng, which gave him a tremendous thrill.

How could such good news not be celebrated?

To be honest, if it weren’t for the fear of leaving a bad impression on the boss, he would have liked to invite the other senior executives to dine out and celebrate.

Coming home now to drink some treasured Moutai with his son was already keeping a low profile.

“Fantastic!” Yang Jingsheng was so happy he almost jumped up.

With his dad becoming the president, his own position in the company would definitely see a promotion as well.

One could say, his father’s success was his success.

His success depended on his father’s success.

In and of himself, he didn’t have much ability; his career heights were determined by Yang Tiancheng.

“Tian Cheng, it’s a case of hard work paying off, and you’ve finally gotten your chance,” Liu Yujuan was also very happy.

Whether she could live well also depended on Yang Tiancheng.

The more Yang Tiancheng earned, the more spending money she would have.

Only Zhao Yulu silently ate her meal, saying nothing.

She wasn’t really concerned with these matters. In fact, she had always felt that she couldn’t integrate into this family.

Whether Yang Tiancheng succeeded or not, it had little to do with her.

Yang Tiancheng treated her, his stepdaughter, very differently from how he treated Yang Jingsheng, his biological son.

From childhood to adulthood.

Yang Tiancheng would take Yang Jingsheng on trips but never her.

Yang Tiancheng would agree to any request from Yang Jingsheng to buy anything, but never from her.

Yang Tiancheng would spend a fortune to send Yang Jingsheng to the best schools but wouldn’t care for her education, only letting her attend ordinary public schools like any regular child.

Moreover, if something was done wrong, Yang Tiancheng wouldn’t scold him.

But if she did something wrong, Yang Tiancheng would indeed scold and hit her.

All such things made it difficult for her to accept Yang Tiancheng as her stepfather, to accept Yang Jingsheng as her half-brother from different parents.

“Dad, I toast to you, to you, the future president of the group, haha!” Yang Jingsheng, wearing an excited smile, raised his glass.

“Tian Cheng, I’m also going to toast to you with tea instead of wine,” Liu Yujuan poured a cup of tea, poured another one for Zhao Yulu, and even gave Zhao Yulu a meaningful look, fearing she wouldn’t understand.

With no other choice, Zhao Yulu could only lift her teacup.

“Good, today our whole family will toast to this occasion,” said Yang Tiancheng in high spirits, clinking glasses with the others, downing the liquor in one gulp, then letting out a satisfied “ah” with a smack of his lips.

Drinking at home, he would do this when he was happy.

After all, it was just family watching; he didn’t need to worry about anything.

Drinking and dining out, of course, he wouldn’t do such a thing.

Otherwise, he would certainly be laughed at.

“This treasured liquor really is different,” Yang Jingsheng also downed his glass and smacked his lips.

Afterward, he very sensibly filled up another glass for Yang Tiancheng, then another for himself.

Zhao Yulu and Liu Yujuan each took a sip of their tea and set down their teacups.

Zhao Yulu continued to eat her meal in silence, not speaking a word.
