Jiang Cheng seemed to have anticipated his question.
"Is this a loss for China? Or for all of humanity? It's a real shame that someone as outstanding as you isn't making any more contributions. Oh well, everyone has their own thoughts. I may not understand what you're thinking, but I can understand it."
"Thanks."
Jiang Cheng nodded, feeling even more favorably disposed towards him.
Will you continue to dedicate yourself to scientific research in the future?
He asked again.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Cheng uttered words completely different from those he had said to Elder Zhong that day.
I will.
I just don't know when I'll have the energy to do that research again. I need a rest. This rest might be for a year, or it might be ten years? Nobody knows.
The light in his eyes dimmed somewhat.
I will definitely go back... but I have to wait, wait for the perfect opportunity!
Jiang Cheng said to himself.
After a conversation, they had probably finished eating.
You Lixuan crossed his arms, wiped his hands, and put on his glasses.
"Jiang Cheng, do you know why I brought you to this store?"
A glint of brilliance flashed in his cunning eyes.
"Not because it tastes good?"
"On one hand, but there are other reasons as well?"
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng became puzzled and completely confused.
"Do you know who the owner of this shop is?" You Lixuan said, waving his hand behind him.
At that moment, the owner of the braised food shop behind me walked over.
Jiang Cheng stared at him intently.
You Lixuan had a smile on his lips.
In front of him, the boss slowly took off his mask...
He revealed a face that shocked him greatly!
He never imagined that the person hiding behind the mask was this person!
Because the identities of these two people are simply incompatible.
"Zhao Wunian!"
The eldest son of the Zhao family!
"How did you end up here?" Jiang Cheng asked in surprise.
The other person lowered their head dejectedly.
Zhao Wunian's fair face had lost its arrogance; his skin still retained the delicate smoothness of a noble young master, but his eyes no longer held any haughtiness...
Facing Jiangcheng, he deeply lowered his once arrogant head.
"sorry."
Today, he finally apologized for spreading rumors and framing Qiao Nana, who had already dropped out of school!
"I was wrong back then. I used despicable means to slander you, and the damage to Professor Jiang's reputation is irreparable. I'm sorry..."
"What's going on? Why would he open a braised food shop here?" Jiang Cheng was still in shock.
You Lixuan rubbed his chin twice, looked up at the chandelier, and said seriously.
“When I first started investigating Zhao Wunian’s slander against you, I encountered some resistance. Their family has some influence and they are not trash that can be easily dealt with.”
"But later... I gained unparalleled support."
"What kind of support can you think of?"
He habitually pushed up his glasses.
"After that, the Zhao family fell apart overnight. All the things they had done were exposed, and each one could have landed them in jail, and the number of people involved was countless!"
"The reason why Young Master Zhao did not go in is because the elders of his family took all the blame!"
"Entrepreneurs are normal; none of them are without malice. There are no clean entrepreneurs. Their so-called business methods are all shady dealings: tax evasion, framing, hiring hitmen..."
You Lixuan looked into Jiang Cheng's eyes and said, "If you don't want to keep him now, Young Master Zhao will still go to prison and won't be able to open his braised food shop."
······
Jiang Cheng wandered aimlessly through the streets.
His worldview had been shaken, and the last words of You Lixuan still echoed in his ears.
"Jiang Cheng, the power you possess is actually much greater than you imagine. Just one night, a high-and-mighty young master became the owner of a 40-square-meter braised food shop in Lanjing Street. Before, he was dealing with big business and orders worth millions. Now he's dealing with duck necks and braised duck legs."
You must understand that you are giving up not only a position, but also power—the power to be free from any persecution… Please return to the career you love as soon as possible. Your life should not be bleak; it should be radiant.
