Inheritance of Rebirth

208. Settling down

In the second week after the dinner party, Qiao Yi and Zhu Li made a verdict at the first instance.

The two were found to be negligently causing death and were sentenced to six years in prison and three years and six months respectively, with a total of more than 43 civil compensation attached.

Lawyer Tang explained that because the investigation concluded that Wu Xiaoling's death was indeed an accident, it was determined that the death was caused by negligence, and the sentence was not light.

But the civil compensation can't get much, because Qiao Yi and Zhu Li don't have much property under their name.

Luo Chao was very uncomfortable with this result, his mother lost his life, and the two of them could spend a few years in prison and have nothing to do.But he can only forget it, because he can't prove that the two men were deliberately murdered.

Qiao Yi and Zhu Li refused to accept it and filed an appeal.But the facts were clear, and they could neither offer compensation nor get the understanding of the family members, so the second trial upheld the original judgment.

Mrs. Wang didn't object at first, until she heard that she could only get more than 2 yuan in compensation, she started crying and shouting, calling for Luo Chao to appeal and asking the two people to pay for her daughter's life.

Luo Chao...

Attorney Tang...

Yuan Cheng sent Lawyer Tang out, and when he came back, he heard Luo Chao persuade, "All the money is yours, and I don't want a cent. Grandma, they don't have any money. If you appeal again, you won't get any money. You have to pay for it." Pay a lawyer"

Old Mrs. Wang was furious, "You didn't even fart when your mother died! You white-eyed wolf! You have no blood at all! You might as well have been born by your mother"

Yuan Cheng slapped away Mrs. Wang's hand pointing at Luo Chao's nose, "If you want to appeal, you should hire a lawyer yourself, don't shout at him! Are you waiting for someone to throw you out here?"

Mrs. Wang looked at the security guard who had already walked towards them, and closed her mouth.

Yuan Cheng paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for her daughter's medical bills, funerals, and lawyers' lawsuits. He was just a friend of Luo Chao's, and he had no relationship with them. She couldn't be angry anymore up.

Yuan Cheng stretched out his arms to embrace Luo Chao, "We're going home, follow if you want to go, keep shouting if you don't."

After finishing speaking, he pushed Luo Chao to leave, Mrs. Wang...

With Yuan Cheng's pressing on people, what Luo Chao said to his grandmother - how lonely she is now, and what he should ask for in the future, he didn't agree to a single one.

Apart from repeatedly stating that Lawyer Tang would give her all the compensation after getting back, Luo Chao did not make any promises, including his grandmother's request that he return the 5 yuan cheated by his mother, but he ignored it.

Yuan Cheng was very satisfied, and forced Luo Chao to leave while Mrs. Wang was speaking.

Yuan Chengcai said, "Chao, don't blame me for treating your grandma like this."

Luo Chao was surprised, "What do I blame you for?"

Yuan Cheng...

Luo Chao touched Yuan Cheng's arm, "I promised you that grandma will not appear in our life in the future. Besides, I have no ability to meet her demands now."

Yuan Cheng laughed, "Yeah."

Luo Chao also smiled, "Don't worry, I won't be distracted by these things."

Yuan Cheng couldn't help but leaned over and kissed, "Good boy."

Luo Chao continued to review after returning home, and never mentioned grandma again.

Mrs. Wang may have called him several times, but Luo Chao never told Yuan Cheng, but Yuan Cheng had seen her number in his mobile phone blacklist.

Yuan Cheng was very satisfied.

He continued to take good care of the third-year dog, feeding it in various ways and recharging it from time to time. "Everybody haggis" already has a brand effect in the local area, and people who come to join after the winter have not stopped.Yuan Cheng's income has increased sharply, and Wen Zhixia has long since stopped accepting promotions from other stores, and only focuses on promoting him.

The days passed quickly with each monthly exam, and Luochao was still second in the final exam, but he got closer to the No.1 score, which is considered an improvement.

There are only seven days off for the Spring Festival No. [-] Middle School, and there are a bunch of papers attached.

Yuan Cheng...

Looking at Luo Chao who had slept all day after the exam, he silently canceled the trip to Krabi that he expected last year.

Doing New Year's shopping, sweeping the tomb, and making New Year's Eve dinner, they took Luo Shan to the central square to watch the fireworks on the evening of the [-]th.

This is a fireworks venue circled in the city. The two of them didn't buy cannons, they just picked a few small firework sticks for Luo Shan, and the little girl kept running around happily.

The countdown to the Spring Festival Gala began on the big screen, and the square was filled with fiery trees and silver flowers. Luo Chao looked at Yuan Cheng, "Chengcheng, it's good to have you."

Under the wide sleeves of the down jacket, Yuan Cheng firmly held his hand back, his eyes were full of stars, "Yes, it's good to have you."

Thank you for still having you.

Luo Chao's hands tightened again, his big black and white eyes curled up with a smile, and the fireworks shone like stars, "Together forever."

Yuan Cheng smiled, his smile was extremely warm, but he didn't speak.

Before going out, Luo Chao sent his dad a WeChat message for New Year greetings, but as expected, there was no reply.On the way home, Yuan Cheng noticed that Luo Chao would take out his phone to look at it from time to time, and he took out his phone to look at it too.

Mom has deleted his WeChat and QQ, so he only sent a text message at night.As expected, there was no reply.

Yuan Cheng put away his phone, feeling calm in his heart.

On the first day of the new year, Luo Chao took his younger sister to pay New Year's greetings to his grandmother, and Yuan Cheng drove the siblings there.On the way, they went to the supermarket to buy a bunch of dried rice, flour, oil and fruit, and carried several large bags.

Yuan Cheng didn't want to see Mrs. Wang, but he had too many things, so he helped Luo Chao to the seventh floor before leaving.

Luo Chao didn't prepare a red envelope for grandma - it's not appropriate to give it anyway.But grandma lives on the seventh floor, and shopping is difficult, so he takes these.

The better stewed meat shops were closed years ago, and Luo Chao took a pork elbow from home.

Yuan Cheng...

Forget it, although it sounds too stingy to say it, but he really doesn't want to give the old lady anything.

For the remaining days of the holiday, Luo Chao spent all his time brushing up questions.In fact, Yuan Cheng planned to go for a drive in his car, but it started snowing in his thirties, making it unsafe to travel.

The year passed smoothly.

When the seventh and third year of junior high school started, Luo Chao continued his desperate mode.When they were together, Xintian made a decision: they wanted to stay because Zhou Tingting was pregnant.

Yuan Cheng, thinking about it is neither surprising nor understandable.

After knowing each other for more than a year, he can see that Zhou Tingting is a serious person.Maybe she was a little poor in spirit, but Xin Tian didn't particularly ask for it.

Their getting along is warm food, rice, oil and salt, increased deposits on the card, tangible things, and specific small fortunes.

Yuan Cheng thought, since they can all feel happy from it, there is nothing wrong with it.

Happiness is always simpler, purer, and easier to obtain for people who think less.

Yuan Cheng suggested that Xin Tian settle down near No. [-] Middle School.Here is the same as No. [-] Middle School. There are good schools from kindergarten to high school, and the store is nearby. It is the most suitable place to buy a house.

Xin Tian has saved his salary with him for more than a year, but Zhou Tingting's savings are only 10,000+, and the down payment is not enough. The young couple plans to start a family in the dormitory.

Yuan Cheng listened and laughed, "Daxin and Xiaozhou, you can watch the house with peace of mind. I'm almost there. I'm going to leave after Luo Chao's exam. I have to settle you down before I leave."

Even though these words were expected, Xin Tian was still moved, "Don't worry, Boss, I will pay you back as soon as possible."

Yuan Cheng smiled, "I'm not in a hurry, and neither are you."

Zhou Tingting also said, "In fact, we can just rent the house first. The store doesn't even have enough money. If we buy a house, we won't be able to give you a penny."

Yuan Cheng smiled, "Since you have a child, you have to make plans for the housing in the school district. Da Xin is my brother, and I said I won't let him regret it."

Zhou Tingting wiped the corners of her eyes, and laughed again, "How could you regret it? Boss, don't worry, within five years, even the store and the house will definitely be returned to you."

Yuan Cheng didn't answer, he just smiled and pushed Xin Tian towards Zhou Tingting, "Xiao Zhou, you are a woman, being sentimental is not suitable for you."

Xin Tian hugged his wife, "That's right, why are you crying? Did you not want to see that room last time? Do you still have a phone number? Let's contact the landlord directly."

Zhou Tingting wiped the corners of her eyes again and laughed.

Xin Tian is also a man, so Yuan Cheng can't say to him "it's okay, I don't want it anymore", although he won't mention it until the money is paid back.

Yuancheng now has ten stores, and the five new ones he opened are as usual with great care, and the business has started. Although the overall is not as good as the old stores such as Qinghu, the income is stable and the profits are also considerable.

Xu Weidong had to give in.

Since He Yuancheng had an acquisition intention, he often haunted the store as the future boss, and the newly opened ones were his focus, and he witnessed with his own eyes that the turnover ranged from a few hundred to a few thousand a day. process.

Finally, Xu Weidong had no objection to the 28 transfer fee.

On the contrary, he began to worry about signing the contract with the original owner and transferring the ownership—the business is booming, and the early transfer of ownership can make money early, and there are continuous franchising, which is even more of a no-cost business.

Yuancheng only sells nine stores, totaling 250 million, and does not wipe out any fraction. The [-]th High School is determined not to sell.

The trademark has not been issued yet, but Yuan Cheng has firmly stated that his trademark will only be authorized for use by Shisan Zhongdian.It has nothing to do with Xu Weidong—if you want to use it, you can pay for it separately.

Xu Weidong scoffed.

Yuan Cheng also knew that this was vain. Xu Weidong had never been a man of rules. In the past half a year, he tried several times:

At one time, he had to sell two or three stores first, at another time he had to renegotiate the price, at another time he said that the [-]th Middle School had the best location, and if he didn't sell it, he would not want the other stores... all kinds of troubles.

If Yuan Cheng hadn't always been tough, and he would be angry when he heard it, he still wouldn't give up.

In fact, the trademark authorization that Yuan Cheng insisted on was just to prevent Xu Weidong from making trouble for Xin Tian.

Xu Weidong will definitely develop franchise stores, and Xin Tian can't compete with him even with the authorization.But with this authorization, at least when Xin Tian develops a franchise, Xu Weidong can't go there and beat him up.

Xin Tian is a brother he recognizes, and he will help him pave the way as much as possible.

In fact, the impact of the pandemic has lasted for several years, and the profit of the store cannot be compared with what it is now. There is a high probability that the franchise will stagnate after the Spring Festival in [-], but Xu Weidong still has to guard against it.

With Xu Weidong, Yuan Cheng currently maintains a strange peace.

Xu Weidong often tries to provoke, and Yuan Cheng always replies with the attitude of "you want to buy it or not, anyway, I don't worry about selling it". You are not polite, but when Xu Weidong wants to talk to him, the two can sit down and have a drink Tea.

At this time, Yuan Cheng would take the opportunity to brainwash the other party.

The first point of brainwashing is to advise him not to make any changes after taking over—maintaining the status quo, he will be able to pay back the cost in half a year, but withholding employees and shoddy, the little money saved will only quickly consume the brand.

Yuan Cheng never hides his secrets when he talks about these things, and the development of his store is the best proof.

Xu Weidong slowly recognized this, because he found that Yuan Cheng did a better job than him—the haggis really employs fewer people, but it is really efficient.

Originally, there are only two or three people in a store. Although the salary is high and there are bonuses, these two or three people are very capable, have good working habits, and are well organized, so they are very worry-free to use.

After digging a hole for Xu Weidong and helping him open the store, Yuan Cheng was not without struggles.He even struggled: whether to sell the store again at the end of [-]—the eve of the epidemic, completely killing Xu Weidong.

But there is no way to prove the harm in the previous life, and Xu Weidong didn't do anything to him in this life, Yuan Cheng... He can't be a judge after all, and he can't take revenge without scruples.

The teenager who slays the dragon becomes a dragon. It's hard to say whether it's the tragedy of the dragon or the tragedy of the teenager.

He was in awe and did not dare to do evil easily.

And with the 30-year-old death hanging over his head, he would not separate from Luo Chao for revenge.

Xu Weidong bought nine restaurants at once, and it was still in the off-season. In addition, his original business was basically in catering, and his profit level was estimated to be mediocre. The days of the epidemic will be very sad.

But Yuan Cheng still hopes that these nine stores can continue to open after he struggles—he hopes that honest people like Chen Yi and Lu Hu can continue this job of supporting their families after he leaves.

The work in the store is hard, but the salary is basically [-] yuan higher than that of the peers, and the store managers like Chen Yi are even higher, and they never default on the salary. This kind of treatment is hard to find with their ability.

There will be no intersection between him and them in the future, and now to highlight their value in front of Xu Weidong and make Xu Weidong recognize their treatment is the last thing he can do for them.

Even if it doesn't take long, he has tried his best.

Because the takeaway platform takes a quarter of the income, Yuan Cheng has never introduced it before, but now he has signed an agreement with the [-]th Middle School branch and the two platforms.

During the epidemic, the stores were unable to open for several months, and only takeaways could not be affected in the later period.

Xin Tian didn't understand, "Boss, why don't you participate in other stores?"

Yuan Chengxiao, "I mentioned it to Xu Weidong. He thinks the platform fee is too high. Let him decide. The [-]th High School belongs to you. You listen to me. Add it now. If you think the fee is too high, you can restrict access." single time."

Xin Tian had always trusted Yuan Cheng, so he stopped asking, "Okay."

On May 2019, 5, Yuancheng received the full payment of 29 million from Xu Weidong, and officially transferred the nine stores of our haggis.

Among them, the nine stores are 252 million, and the various expenses paid in advance by the nine stores are 14.

Because the lease period is different, the rent of some stores is paid after June. Yuan Cheng listed the schedule and carefully calculated the rent, property fees, and water and electricity charges stored on the card for each store-in the end, only a few dozen yuan were wiped. Fraction.

Xu Weidong was very angry at his penny-pinching, "You can't do business like this, Xiao Yuan! I bought your storefront worth more than 200 million yuan, and you're still so clear with this little money!"

Yuan Cheng couldn't even roll his eyes, "Did I count your money? I counted all my money. Of course, you don't have to pay or buy it if you don't want to, it's okay."

Xu Weidong...

Because Xu Weidong has been frequenting the store for more than half a year, and has repeatedly promised that the salary will not change, the panic of the employees about the transfer of the store has subsided, and the handover has been smooth.

In the past few days, Yuan Cheng has been reconciling accounts with suppliers, and he settled the last two in the afternoon.In the evening, they had a dinner together as usual in the store, and during the dinner, he distributed the salary and bonus of the month.

In addition, Yuan Cheng transferred 660 to each person, "Thank you for helping me in the past few years, Liuliu Shun, I hope everyone will be able to work and live smoothly in the future."

To his surprise, he saw red envelopes popping up on the screen before he took his phone back.The first two that appeared were from Chen Yi, with amounts of 66 and 88.

The big brother was very sad, "Little boss, you are a good person, you should go out smoothly and make a fortune."

Yuan Cheng smiled and nodded, feeling very warm in his heart.

The store is hard work, except for Zhou Tingting, he didn't hire a female worker, and most of the twenty or so men sitting here are not talkative—it's been a long time since no one held a cup to say a word, but now they started offering him red envelopes in unison.

After a while, Yuancheng received more than [-] messages, all of which were thanks and blessings.

Yuan Cheng's smile grew bigger and bigger.

His consideration for them was rewarded, and he didn't regret not killing Xu Weidong.
