chapter 3.2

Ah Xing was wailing in his heart, It’s over, Third Young Master will be sure to find any excuse to scold him when he is free. This time, he would definitely have a reason not to let him go.

Will he get beaten?!

A Xing was aggrieved with indignation and panicstricken, but then he saw Qiao Yang swept his glance at him and then turned away indifferently.

Ah Xing, ???

Qiao Tiancheg was still very angry, “You bought so many cars to park them haphazardly. What do you think that would look like?”

“If you don’t move those cars inside the garage, I will have them all towed for you tomorrow.”

Being cursed at his face, Qiao Yang blinked his eyes innocently, twice.

The middle-age man in front of him was tall with elegant manners.

Even though he lost his temper, it didn’t diminish his bearing at all, it still gave people an inexplicable favorable impression.

Qiao Yang digested his words and recalled what the original owner had done.

He finally opened his mouth to say, “You mean the cars in the garage? I parked them all neatly last night. I gave (up) the parking spot to elder brother and second brother.”

Qiao Jin, the second brother, put down his spoon and gave Qiao Yang an indifferent look. There was an underlying blame in his tone. “You parked them neatly, but big brother is still moving out.”

The plot was actually like this in the novel.

Neither the big brother or the second brother of this family approve of Qiao Yang’s behavior, but they also didn’t want to make things difficult for their father with their brotherly in-fighting. So in the end, the two brothers moved out of the Qiao’s residence.

Qiao Yang quickly said, “Don’t! I know that I’ve done a lot of things to provoke big brother and second brother to be angry during this time, it’s my fault.”

“So I’ll move out, and you persuade big brother to come back to stay.”

Qiao Tiancheng’s angry expression faltered slightly.

He was disappointed and disgusted with Lao San’s behavior of hardly disguised desire to inherit this Qiao family’s old residence with over a hundred years of history.

But now Lao San actually took the initiative to apologize and even said that he would move out.

Only then did Qiao Tiancheng take a closer look at Qiao Yang.

The tall and thin Lao San was wearing loose pajamas, he seemed a little thin and fragile, completely lacking his usual violence and impatience!

His barely-woke-up cheeks were still pale with traces of pillow marks. The pair of drowsy phoenix eyes were hazy just like a young child.

Qiao Tianchen was not really convinced by his words as he questioned him, “Where are you moving out to? Didn’t you say that you want to sell your house at Century Residences?”

Qiao Yang, “Yes, but it’s not sold yet, I’ll move out today.”

Qiao Yang’s mannerism seemed sincere and didn’t look like he was joking at all. Qiao Tiancheng sighed in his heart, he only wanted his three children to get along harmoniously and didn’t want any of them to move out of the Qiao family’s house.

“All right, let’s not talk about this now, quickly eat your breakfast.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Yang went over to sit down, in addition to the main entrees and the side dishes, there was also a cup of warm milk.

—This was the original owner’s habit.

In a family, even if they appear to be disgusted and resentful on the surface, (even) aggressive, but they still remember their children’s habits and hobbies.

Towards the Qiao Tiancheng, who’s anger had not subsided, and the Qiao Jin who was still impatient and indifferent, Qiao Yang curved the corners of his mouth and grinned at them.

He originally had stern eyebrows, upturned eyes, thin lips and sharp jaws creating a detached appearance. When he wasn’t smiling, it was frighteningly like a sharp blade.

However, when he smiled, his phoenix eyes bent down and one could see the light in his dark eyes, even his angular jawline became soft and supple, just like an unsuspecting child.

Qiao Jin looked away, let out a scoff, then continued eating.

Qiao Tiancheng’s face had somewhat softened, and he coughed uncomfortably then fiercely said, “Don’t even look at what time it is, and you are still dressed like that.”

“Don’t slack off just because it’s the weekend. Employees take holidays to rest, but you as the department’s manager you must put your work first all the time.”

“Otherwise, if you don’t do well, you’ll still get fired for poor evaluations.”

Fired!

Qiao Yang’s eyes lit up.

Century Residence.

In a high-rise apartment building, Gu Ye sat in a simple and bright dining room, basking in the golden sunlight pouring in through the window, while eating breakfast in a leisurely but graceful demeanor.

On the side, his assistant Geng Hui was giving him reports about the business.

“Because of our company and the Qiao Corporation participating in the bidding session for the Qi Fengtai development project[1], the other companies immediately dropped out of the bidding.”

“The only competitor we have today is the Qiao Corporation.”

Gu Ye took a sip of his coffee and asked slowly. “Which department of Qiao Corporation is in charge of the development of this project?”

Geng Hui replied, “Currently, it seems to be the Planning Department, and the person in charge is Qiao Yang.”

“Qiao Yang.”

Gu Ye thoughtfully pronounced the name once, pronouncing each syllable clearly[2].

He carelessly sneered, “It’s really as incompatible as fire and water[3].”

Geng Hui continued with his report, “Although the Third Young Master of the Qiao Family has an average reputation on his character, but he does have an outstanding ability in the aspect of market research and project planning.”

“Otherwise, he also wouldn’t be able to push out the Qiao family’s second Young Master out of the planning department in such a short time.”

“Once he figures out the liquidity we can deploy, he’ll be able to prepare the fund in advance. We…… might lose to the Qiao Corporation.”

Geng Hui sounded slightly worried as he analyzed the situation.

Gu Ye sliced the bacon on his plate, not the least bit concerned, “He can only use the data published by the market to estimate the available liquid funds the Gu Corporation could use. That’s all.”

No one on the market could estimate the hidden assets of the Gu family.

Geng Hui was still worried, “Qiao Yang’s attitude toward you last night was like a different person compared to when he first met you. I originally thought that he would start a fight with you last night. In the end, he actually took the initiative to express his goodwill.”

”

”

“I suspect that Qiao Yang deliberately approached you because of the Qi Fengtai project…”

Gu Ye put down his knife and fork, raised his head and looked at Geng Hui. His lips curved upward as he smiled, however, there seemed to be a sliver of hidden contempt within those peach-blossom eyes.

“Approach me deliberately? And so what, don’t tell me I can still be entrapped by him?”
