Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Can’t Make a Phone Call?

The moment Liao Fangpo thought about turning one million into ten million, or even twenty or thirty million, he felt an irresistible itch, "Dad, Mom, why don’t we sell the convenience store and scrape together a million?"

"This..." Liao Mingliang hesitated as the convenience store did well in business and many wanted to buy it, but he couldn’t bear to let it go—it was their family’s source of income, after all!

Yang Hua sneaked a glance at Chen Guosheng and, seeing that he didn’t seem too concerned about whether they invested or not, was sure it would be her son who would benefit, "Mingliang, your in-law is thinking of your son, how can you be so petty?"

Fang Po was also very anxious, "Dad, what are you still hesitating about?"

"Alright," ultimately persuaded by his wife and son, Liao Mingliang nodded, "Once today’s wedding banquet is over, I’ll talk to those who want to buy my convenience store and try to negotiate a higher price."

Chen Guosheng smiled slightly, "I have already prepared the share transfer contract; whenever you guys transfer the tax money to me, Fang Po can sign."

"Thank you so much, in-law," Yang Hua said with a big smile. "An elder from a big family like you really does things differently. Unlike my brother’s son, who went out and got himself a fake big family girl and borrowed two million at high interest rates to build a villa, all just to trick them into a dowry, which is absolutely hilarious to me!"

"Yang Yu? Him?" Liao Fangpo looked disdainful, "Just a brick-moving construction worker, daydreaming."

"Exactly," Chen Guosheng’s face was filled with a scornful smile, "These days, daughters of big families aren’t so easy to find. If Xiao Meng weren’t really into Fang Po, I would have at least found her someone of equal status."

"Dad, what nonsense are you spouting?" Chen Meng glared at her father, "Am I that kind of vain person? It’s not like our family doesn’t have money!"

"Yes, yes, yes, haha!" Yang Hua laughed heartily, "Fang Po, aren’t you going to toast your father-in-law?"

"I appreciate dad’s nurturing, here’s a toast to you!" Liao Fangpo stood up eagerly, trying to flatter, and toasted Chen Guosheng.

"What are you doing? Why are you taking away the dish after serving it?" Someone at the next table started to quarrel, to which the waitress quickly explained, "Sorry, I served the wrong dish, this belongs to another private room."

"We don’t care, a mistaken serve means it’s ours!" A middle-aged fat woman was very aggressive, and the others also yelled in agreement, "Exactly, the dish served by mistake is ours!"

The Yang family glanced over and immediately understood why the fat woman was so insistent.

That was some fine dish there; they had seen it on the menu, and it seemed to be called "sea treasure," filled with all sorts of exquisite seafood, this one dish alone cost over fifty thousand.

Having such a dish served at their table, they felt it was the server’s fault; they had the upper hand and weren’t willing to miss out.

The waitress was about to go mad from the pressure; thinking that if she couldn’t confront them she should at least be able to avoid them, she quickly took the dish away.

"Ugh!" The middle-aged fat woman spat directly onto it, making the waitress burst into tears, "How can you do this? Manager Ling, please come up..."

Using the walkie-talkie, the waitress called for the manager, who immediately arrived with several security guards, a dark look on his face, "Who did this?"

"I did it, so what?" The fat woman was brazen, "It was your staff who served the wrong dish. My saliva just accidentally splashed on it, is there a problem?"

"This place is surrounded by surveillance cameras; whether it was an accident is easily verified by checking the footage," Manager Ling said coldly. "This sea treasure is clearly marked with a price of 50,000 yuan. Either pay up, and I’ll set aside this dish for you while we prepare another, or I’ll send you to the police station. Intentionally damaging someone’s property—a crime that could get you detained depending on how good the lawyer you hire is."

Seeing Manager Ling’s strong stance, the plump woman finally panicked, "The host is at that table; ask them for the money, I don’t have it!"

Liao Mingliang also became anxious, quickly glancing at Chen Guosheng, "In-law, aren’t you quite influential here in Tianhai City? Could you maybe speak to the hotel owner and let this matter slide?"

"I’m not acquaintances with the owner, so there’s nothing I can do," Chen Guosheng shook his head, "Pay up. The owner surely won’t let it go easily. It’s better to settle with money now, rather than being forced by the owner later; either way, you will have to pay up."

Liao Mingliang’s face suddenly darkened—this was 50,000 yuan, not merely fifty, nor five hundred!

Besides, this relative was from the Chen Family, not his own. It was one thing for him to pay for the wedding banquet, but to pay for this mess as well? Was he expected to be the sucker?

Seeing Liao Mingliang seemingly reluctant to pay, Chen Guosheng shook his head, murmuring to himself, "I’ll pay the money, but considering how petty you are, I’m starting to doubt whether Fang Po will also be like this in the future..."

"Dad, it’s just 50,000 yuan, right?" Liao Fangpo said urgently, "If you don’t have it, I can borrow it from a friend. I will pay this back no matter what!"

Having no choice, Liao Mingliang had to charge the 50,000 yuan to his "Hua Bar" in advance. He really didn’t have any money left for this month.

Only after the Liao Family settled the bill did Manager Ling let the matter go, "Ladies and gentlemen, it was our server’s fault for bringing the wrong dish, but we did not shortchange you any dish. I hope that when you visit us again, such incidents will not happen again. I wish you all a pleasant dining experience."

Manager Ling’s managerial skills were rather formidable; he knew when to be strict and when to be accommodating.

Having said that, Manager Ling left the banquet hall.

After such a commotion, the mood of Liao Mingliang and his wife had obviously soured.

Having spent millions on shares that hadn’t ended up in their son’s hands, the additional 50,000 yuan now out of pocket was bound to leave anyone feeling uncomfortable!

After losing such a large sum of money, should they try to get some of it back from somewhere else?

"By the way, how come I haven’t seen your uncle and aunt?" Liao Mingliang was thinking of having his son and daughter-in-law go around toasting, to openly ask for red envelopes—whatever amount they could get.

His wife had mentioned that her older brother was very concerned with face, so their red envelope should be at least a few thousand, right?

"Dad, if you hadn’t brought it up, I would have almost forgotten about them," Liao Fangpo snorted. "I thought you had arranged for them to sit at another table!"

Yang Hua immediately understood her husband’s intention and picked up her phone to call Yang Rongguang, "Big brother, where are you and sister-in-law? We’ve been looking for you for so long!"

Yang Yu’s voice came from the other end of the line, "Auntie, you’ve almost finished the banquet and only now you remember my parents? Didn’t you say that when a nephew gets married, the mother’s brother should have a seat of honor? You’ve been looking for so long, couldn’t you have made a phone call?"

"I bet you just didn’t want to invite my parents to the wedding banquet at all. You remembered them because you want their red envelope, am I right?"
