A month later.
With the help of the Shi family, Yushu Buyi quickly solved the problem of the order with Xu Lang’s high-end restaurant.
After Yushu Buyi underwent big reforms and recruited nearly thirty people in this month, it began to get back on the right track. In addition, this was an old factory that had been around for decades and still had the customer base that it had accumulated previously. Soon, the funds began to show signs of flowing back.
Shi Yi didn’t let Xu Lang off either. In the end, she received two million yuan as compensation. Xu Lang also had to apologize on social platforms. His haute couture shop fell into a quagmire overnight and closed down the day after it became famous.

After hiding for a month, Xu Lang’s patience was exhausted. Just as he couldn’t hold it in anymore, he received a call from the Jiang family.
Xu Lang looked at the caller ID. He had long lost his patience, so before the other party could speak, he asked, “Cousin, I’ve already done as you asked. My reputation is ruined now! It’s been a month. What about the promise you made me?”
The person who called Xu Lang was the current head of the Jiang family, Jiang Chen. His cousin had married Xu Lang’s biological sister. With such a relationship, it was really far-fetched to call him cousin.
The person on the other end of the line chuckled. “Heh, what’s the hurry? I’m here to help you arrange it. I’ve already acquired Down Ridge Clothes Workshop. This company will be handed over to you to manage. From now on, you’re its chairman.”
When Xu Lang heard this news, he was delighted at first, but before he could rejoice, his spirits was dampened.
“Wait, cousin, if I remember correctly, Down Ridge Clothes Workshop is Yushu Buyi’s competitor, right? From operations to business structure, the two companies are almost the same. Since you’re asking me to manage the Down Ridge Clothes Workshop, could it be that you want me to cause trouble for the Shi family?”
Xu Lang still had some reservations about going against the Shi family. After the copyright infringement case, although Jiang Chen had secretly helped him, the Shi family, especially Yuan Shu, wasn’t to be trifled with!
Xu Lang didn’t know what was wrong with him. He was actually afraid of a mere woman!
Jiang Chen praised, “You’re very smart, but you’re only half right. I’m not asking you to go against the Shi family, but Yuan Shu.”
Xu Lang’s heart skipped a beat. In that case, he might as well go against the Shi family.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Cousin, do you have any grudges with Yuan Shu? Why do you keep causing trouble for her and making her unhappy?”
Jiang Chen suddenly said coldly, “Don’t be nosy. Just do your job!”
Then, the call was hung up.

Half a year ago, Jiang Chen suddenly asked someone to find him and ask him to set a trap for Yushu Buyi to lure Yuan Shu into the trap. At that time, Xu Lang didn’t agree. He was very business-minded and managed a high-end custom-made clothing store himself. He was very satisfied with his current life and didn’t have such big ambitions.
However, Jiang Chen’s offer was too tempting. He asked Xu Lang, “Are you willing to be ignored in the Xu family and work in a clothing store for the rest of your life? I believe in your ability. Working in a clothing store is a waste of your time. As long as you can help me, I can let you have the same treatment as your brother, Xu Jing, and own a company of the same size.”
Xu Lang was tempted. Having a company of the same size meant that Xu Lang would have a place in the Xu family from now on. The Xu family had to consider his words carefully.
Xu Lang agreed to Jiang Chen’s plan, but the Shi family was more determined than he had imagined.
Initially, he thought that with Yushu Buyi as a threat, the Shi family wouldn’t continue to pester him regarding the copyright infringement case.
Unexpectedly, the Shi family, who could barely even protect themselves, helped Yuan Shu at this time. The most unruly second daughter of the Shi family kept pestering him, causing him to lose the clothing store.
Over the past month, he had endured countless looks of disdain and ridicule from the Xu family. If it weren’t for Jiang Chen’s instructions, Xu Lang wouldn’t have been exposed. Xu Lang would have explained things to them already!
Forget it. Fortunately, he still had a company.. So what if he had to go against Yuan Shu?
