Chapter 95: Chapter 95 What’s the Use of You_1

"Dad, no matter what, he’s still my brother. I’m begging you, please give him a chance, okay?"

Chen Yuting didn’t want to say that because she would have preferred Dong Junjie to be detained.

However, with Dong Qikang and Dong Junjie watching her, she had no choice but to speak.

Only by uttering a plea could she demonstrate that she had tried her best to persuade Chen Yuanxiang.

Otherwise, once the call was over, she would definitely be scolded by Dong Qikang.

"Your pleading is useless. What will be will be, and besides, such trash isn’t worth pleading for," Chen Yuanxiang said coldly.

"I’m saying, Chen Yuanxiang, Yuting has already pleaded with you, and yet you won’t forgive Junjie. Do you even consider Yuting as your biological daughter?"

That’s when Feng Lijuan spoke up angrily.

Over at the restaurant.

Chen Yuyan was listening to the call between her dad and Chen Yuting.

Hearing Feng Lijuan’s shameless words, she immediately snatched her dad’s phone.

"Feng Lijuan, my dad treats Yuting as his own daughter, but does Yuting treat my dad as her biological father?"

"That Dong Junjie, arranged for someone to frame my dad and almost forced my dad’s restaurant to close down. Yuting still pleads for him, and you dare criticize my dad—who gave you the right?"

"I know all this is orchestrated by Dong Qikang and his son. You can relay my words to them. Tell them my dad will definitely not drop the charges, and Dong Junjie should just wait for his detention."

After speaking, Chen Yuyan hung up the phone directly.

At the Dong Family’s.

Feng Lijuan had a very ugly look on her face and cursed furiously, "That Chen Yuyan is really despicable, she dare to call me by my name, not respecting me as her biological mother at all."

"Dad, what do we do if Chen Yuanxiang won’t drop the charges?" Dong Junjie asked, panicking.

His dad’s plan was clearly ineffective.

Chen Yuanxiang was obviously not so easy to fool.

Even his own daughter’s personal pleas couldn’t soften Chen Yuanxiang’s heart.

Seeing his anxiousness, Chen Yuting actually felt quite pleased, but she didn’t show it on her face.

"If this way doesn’t work, we’ll have to take another path. I’ll pull some strings to press down the matter," Dong Qikang thought and decided that was the only option left.

He had to do his best to lobby and try to prevent his son from being detained.

If he was detained and got a criminal record, it would make future employment difficult.

Even if he became the president of the company and wanted to promote his son, the stain of his son’s detention would remain.

"Dad, you must find some really good connections, I really don’t want to be detained," Dong Junjie said bitterly.

If he had known it would come to this, he wouldn’t have done what he did.

Being detained could really affect his whole life.

"Of course, I know," Dong Qikang glanced at his son with some dissatisfaction, his brow furrowed, but in the end, he said nothing.

"Yuting, your biological father is truly despicable. Even when you plead like that, he still doesn’t agree. He completely ignores the bond between father and daughter. Remember this in the future and do not regard him as your biological father anymore!" Dong Qikang roared at Chen Yuting angrily.

Chen Yuting nodded and said nothing.

The next day.

During breakfast, Dong Junjie’s phone rang.

Seeing who was calling, Dong Junjie’s face turned pale.

He looked at Dong Qikang with a trembling voice and said, "Dad, didn’t you say you had connections and had taken care of the matter? Why are the police still calling me?"

Dong Qikang sighed, "When I got up this morning, my friend called. Chen Yuanxiang has hired a lawyer to follow up on this case, and my friend couldn’t really intervene."

In fact, he was mistaken. The lawyer wasn’t hired by Chen Yuanxiang, but by Shen Dong.

The goal was to eliminate the possibility of external interference with the case as much as possible.

And, should the case need handling, Chen Yuanxiang might have to visit the police station several times without a lawyer.

To avoid hassles, Shen Dong had hired a lawyer to follow up.

The police will leave any issues to be dealt with by the lawyer; after all, the lawyer has been briefed and naturally knows how to handle it.

Dong Qikang and his son may try to use their connections to prevent Dong Junjie from being detained, but a lawyer can also play a crucial role.

With a lawyer involved, even those who wish to use backdoor methods will have reservations.

"This Chen Yuanxiang actually hired a lawyer, he’s truly malicious!" Dong Junjie gritted his teeth in rage.

In his heart, it was all Chen Yuanxiang’s fault; he did nothing wrong at all.

Chen Yuanxiang should have forgiven him and not been petty.

"Chen Yuting, the phone call you made last night was not only useless but also made Chen Yuanxiang cautious, prompting him to hire a lawyer. You can’t even handle this simple task; what use are you!"

The more Dong Junjie thought about it, the angrier he became, taking his anger out on Chen Yuting.

Chen Yuting’s face was expressionless, and she said nothing.

For over a decade, this kind of incident had happened frequently. Whatever the Dong family father and son asked her to do, if she failed, she would be scolded, even her mother would not stand up for her.

If she had any money now, she would have moved out and rented a place, but decent rentals were too expensive for her.

"Enough, stop talking and answer the phone quickly. If you don’t answer, the police are going to come knocking," Dong Qikang gestured with a wave.

Although he felt it was wrong for Dong Junjie to vent his anger on Chen Yuting, he did not intend to scold Dong Junjie.

In his eyes, his son Dong Junjie was the only one that mattered.

As for Chen Yuting, his step-daughter, he could not care less.

Dong Junjie snorted coldly and answered the phone.

After tens of seconds, he hung up, his face pale as he said, "Dad, the police want me to go to the station."

Dong Qikang sighed, "Now that it has come to this, you cannot run away. The more you try to escape, the more serious it gets. It’s just a detention, nothing serious. Fifteen days will pass quickly."

He was unable to rescue his son and could only comfort him in this way.

...

Shen Dong and Chen Yuanxiang arrived at the Meizizi Hot Pot office in Jinmao Tower.

The business license for Meizizi Hot Pot had already been changed to Shuidilao.

Other aspects of the company had not yet been updated.

That was not a problem; it would be done step by step.

After starting work, Shen Dong immediately called a senior management meeting.

The news of the boss’s change had already spread throughout the entire company the previous afternoon, and all employees knew there was a new boss.

In the conference room, the senior managers gathered together.

"Everyone, this is Chen Yuanxiang, the new general manager of Shuidilao."

Shen Dong introduced to the executives.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

The senior managers greeted him respectfully.

This was the general manager brought in by the boss, definitely a trusted confidant. They would have to work under Chen Yuanxiang from now on, so respect was natural.

"Mr. Chen, I’ll leave the rest of the time to you," Shen Dong said with a smile.

In such a public setting, he naturally could not address Chen Yuanxiang as usual.

"Alright," Chen Yuanxiang nodded slightly and began to lead the meeting.

Shen Dong was just listening in.

He truly didn’t understand company management.

Seeing his father-in-law’s presence and his way of speaking, not at all like a small restaurant’s owner but more like a CEO, Shen Dong couldn’t help nodding in approval.

It seemed right to have his father-in-law serve as the CEO; no one could be more suitable than him.

Shen Dong even took out his phone to record a short video, then sent it to Chen Yuyan: Dad really has that CEO aura!

Chen Yuyan was, of course, very happy: Dad’s energy, spirit, and tone are completely different from before. This is how Dad should be.
