Seventies Sweetheart: From Breakup to Billionaire-Chapter 267: The Ownership of Quanfulou

Chapter 267: Chapter 267: The Ownership of Quanfulou
"Where’s Deng Qiye?"
"He should still be in Beijing. His colleagues said he hasn’t shown up to work for three days."
Without submitting any leave application, he skipped work to go to Beijing, and what’s more, he indulged his daughter in making such a grave mistake. This is absolutely intolerable!
As a result, Deng Qiye was dismissed without his knowledge, and his story was turned into a notice and posted on the bulletin board at the town government entrance. Anyone passing by could see Deng Qiye’s ’great achievements.’
Lin Xiang was completely unaware of all this.
At that moment, Lin Xiang was eating watermelon, listening to Lin Yun describe the events from a few days ago.
"...Anyway, Quanfu Building is now in my hands."
Although the process was full of twists, because Cheng Jianping was in charge, even if Cheng Jianfeng and his current wife wanted to make a fuss, they couldn’t do it at all.
Lin Xiang took a big bite of watermelon and asked Lin Yun, no, she should call him Cheng Jinyun, "So he just willingly gave Quanfu Building to you?"
"Of course not. Their family of four can maintain their current glamorous lifestyle only because of Quanfu Building. Wherever he goes, he is respectfully called Boss Cheng, all thanks to Quanfu Building."
Forcing Cheng Jianfeng to hand over Quanfu Building unconditionally is harder for him to accept than cutting off his limb.
But so what?
Cheng Jinyun didn’t care if Cheng Jianfeng was so upset that he couldn’t eat or sleep.
Just like how his father never cared whether the missing Cheng Jinyun was safe or not.
Feelings are mutual, and since Cheng Jinyun felt no fatherly love from Cheng Jianfeng, he didn’t care much for this father either.
Cheng Jianfeng did make a fuss, but Uncle Cheng presented quite a bit of evidence.
"In those years, business was prohibited nationwide. Quanfu Building was the only privately owned restaurant in Beijing besides the state-owned ones. Both fame and profit were obtained by Cheng Jianfeng, but he wasn’t satisfied and dabbled in some grey areas."
Luckily, Cheng Jianfeng retained some rationality, understanding that he couldn’t touch certain areas, otherwise, Uncle Cheng would have been selfless and righteous enough to personally send him to jail.
Under the threat of that evidence, despite his unwillingness, Cheng Jianfeng eventually returned Quanfu Building to Cheng Jinyun.
"By the way, this is for you."
Cheng Jinyun handed over all the documents for Quanfu Building to Lin Xiang.
The documents were already updated, and the name on them...
"Lin Xiang?"
Lin Xiang was shocked, staring at Cheng Jinyun, unable to utter a complete sentence for quite a while.
She pointed to the documents of Quanfu Building on the table, then pointed back at her own nose, her voice so faint that it could barely be heard.
"Bro, are you not joking with me?"
"Why would I joke with you?"
"You put everything under my name?"
"What else could I do? I’m a soldier now, and according to regulations, soldiers can’t engage in these activities. If I put it in my name, I’d be breaking the rules."
"But you shouldn’t just put my name directly!"
If Uncle Cheng and Cheng An found out, who knows what trouble it would cause!
Lin Xiang loves money, but she loves earning every penny with hard work even more.
Quanfu Building is indeed great, but it doesn’t really belong to her, and holding onto it is nerve-wracking!
Cheng Jinyun looked at Lin Xiang’s conflicted and troubled face and carefully asked, "Did I do something wrong?"
The word "yes" was already at her lips, but seeing Cheng Jinyun’s expression, Lin Xiang couldn’t bring herself to say it. She could only shake her head, "I’m just worried, with such a large restaurant under my name, if anything happens in the future..."
"You don’t need to worry about that at all. Quanfu Building has its own management model, and it can operate normally without your involvement. Over the years, Cheng Jianfeng barely visited Quanfu Building."
"And I know you are capable and talented. If you want to manage it well, Quanfu Building can surely rise to a higher level. Rest assured, I won’t put any pressure on you. Whether you choose to let it be or take drastic actions to reform it, it’s all up to you."
Lin Xiang’s gaze towards Cheng Jinyun was somewhat complicated.
If they weren’t siblings, any couple hearing such words from their beloved would probably be overjoyed, right?
Isn’t this what security feels like?
"But if your uncle finds out..."
"This was Uncle’s suggestion as well." Cheng Jinyun said, "I mentioned it to him, and he said this is the best arrangement for now."
Due to Cheng Jinyun’s occupation, even if Quanfu Building was reclaimed, it couldn’t be registered under his name.
It could be in Cheng An’s name, but Quanfu Building was originally established by Cheng Jinyun’s grandfather and expanded by his mother. Changing the name to Cheng An could create friction between brothers in the future.
As for Mrs. Lin, she’s just an ordinary rural woman. She may have some skills in the countryside, but when facing Cheng Jianfeng and his current wife, Mrs. Lin would surely be at a disadvantage.
In conclusion, from any perspective, transferring it to Lin Xiang was the best choice.
Knowing that Uncle Cheng also agreed, Lin Xiang reluctantly accepted this predetermined reality.
"Let’s make a deal first. I’ll only manage Quanfu Building temporarily for you. Once you retire or get discharged, you’ll definitely get it back."
"But it’s unrealistic for me to manage such a large restaurant without any involvement. So, from now on, let’s split the net profits from Quanfu Building, you take eighty percent, and I take twenty percent. My twenty percent will be given directly to me, and how I spend it is none of your concern. As for your eighty percent, I’ll save it for you to use for your future wedding."
Cheng Jinyun originally wanted to say that since Quanfu Building was already given to Lin Xiang, there was no need to split any profits with him.
But he knew Lin Xiang’s character all too well. Once she made up her mind, he couldn’t change it.
"Alright, it’s up to you."
"I start my official classes tomorrow. I’ll be required to stay on campus from Sunday night to Thursday night, so I can only visit Quanfu Building on Saturdays and Sundays."
"But my own small store is about to open too, so I’ll definitely have to prioritize my side of things first..."
"You don’t have to explain all this to me, just follow your own pace."
Cheng Jinyun only had two hours of rest. After handing over the transfer documents to Lin Xiang, he hurried back to the troops.
"I won’t have any time off for a while. I can’t come to see you and mom during this period, so you two must take good care of yourselves. Buy plenty of nutritious food, and don’t worry about spending money. I have money now."
"Yes, yes, I know you have money now. Can you leave already?"
Lin Xiang forcibly urged Lin Yun out.
