Chapter 386: Take Legal Action
Although Yang Yi had secretly decided to help solve Thousand Miles Chuan-Shu’s contract issues, he didn’t tell Lu Xiaoshu and Miao Chuan, as he wasn’t entirely sure of the outcome.
Yang Yi didn’t use his own methods this time; it wasn’t worth it.
Taking direct action himself would involve great risk. Now that Yang Yi had a big family and business1, he didn’t want to put his family’s safety at risk. Unless it was something that particularly angered him or involved his family, Yang Yi was reluctant to take action easily.
Besides, most problems nowadays could be solved with money, so why should he take the hard road?
However, when Yang Yi consulted Miss Mo Fei, a “senior figure” in the entertainment industry, she expressed her indignation but couldn’t offer any advice.
But when Mo Xiaojuan learned about the situation, she gave Yang Yi a suggestion: “You can take legal action. First, find someone to review their contract if there are any issues, or if Ronghuada has done anything to breach the contract. If so, you can take the opportunity to sue them and request a termination of the contract.”
This would require a top lawyer to help with the case. Mo Xiaojun didn’t have a suitable candidate, but Yang Yi received a recommendation from Lan Zhoukai. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The main reason was that Xixi was a bit bored at home and wanted to play with Xin’er. Since Lan Zhoukai wasn’t busy, he invited Yang Yi to have tea at one of the clubs2under his name, allowing the two little ones to play together. Yang Yi also brought along some specialties from his hometown as a gift.
“Huo Yang?” Yang Yi read the name on the business card that Lan Zhoukai handed to him.
“Laywer Huo, a genius in Jiangcheng’s legal circles. This guy specializes in handling tricky and difficult cases. Ordinary lawsuits don’t interest him. Of course, his fees aren’t cheap,” Lan Zhoukai introduced to Yang Yi, “Early last year, he helped me resolve a blackmail case at a construction site. He found the opponent’s flaws, gathered evidence, and defended in court. This guy, tsk tsk, even my company’s legal advisors were full of admiration.”

Yang Yi put away the business card, planning to visit him when he had some free time.
……
Ding Xiang didn’t stay long in her hometown and soon returned to Jiangcheng. As soon as she put down her luggage, she hurriedly changed into her uniform and came to the coffee shop for work.
“Has your grandmother’s condition improved?” Yang Yi asked with concern.
Compared to before she went home, Ding Xiang looked more spirited. She gratefully said to Yang Yi, “She’s much better now. I took my grandmother down the mountain to the city hospital for treatment. Although she couldn’t have surgery due to her old age and frail health, the doctor prescribed some medication. Now, she can finally get out of bed and walk around!”
Her grandmother’s improvement was a huge encouragement for Ding Xiang, allowing her to feel at ease and focus on studying and working hard in Jiangcheng.
Guo Ziyi joined in the fun and enthusiastically offered his advice: “Sister Ding Xiang, since your parents are no longer around, why not bring your grandmother to Jiangcheng? With housing prices in Tingshan District still relatively low, you can quickly save up and take out a loan to buy a place. This way, you’ll have a residence in Jiangcheng and a place for your grandmother to stay, and you can take care of her nearby!”
Currently, housing prices in Tingshan District were indeed not expensive. Jiangcheng was a second-tier city, with property prices in the Binhai District reaching nearly 21,000 yuan per square meter. In contrast, Tingshan District, which was sparsely populated and a bit farther from the Binhai District, the prices were still under 5,100 yuan per square meter. In Guo Ziyi’s view, as long as Ding Xiang could come up with the down payment, the mortgage wouldn’t be a problem.
Of course, the down payment was a big issue for Ding Xiang. Guo Ziyi was already prepared to generously lend money to help his friend.
However, Ding Xiang shook her head and said, “Our village has a tradition of returning to one’s roots, especially now that my grandmother is old. She wouldn’t want to move to the city. It took a lot of effort just to convince her to go down the mountain for treatment, so bringing her to Jiangcheng is impossible!”
Guo Ziyi scratched his head helplessly and said, “Then buy a house for yourself. You’ve made money but haven’t spent any. Keeping it in the bank will only depreciate. I’m telling you, investing in real estate is the most profitable these days.”
Yang Yi watched their conversation with interest and said with a smile, “Ding Xiang, if you want to buy a house, I can introduce you to someone. With his connections, you should be able to get the best discount possible.”
However, Ding Xiang still shook her head, declining Yang Yi’s kind offer. She looked apologetically at Yang Yi and Guo Ziyi and said, “Sorry, Big Brother Yang, the money I’ve saved up has other uses right now. I won’t consider buying a house at the moment.”
With that said, Yang Yi didn’t push further, but Guo Ziyi continued to mutter to Ding Xiang, “What else could you use it for? Just saving it? I haven’t seen you spend money on anything.”
Lin Muan and Ran Jin also returned. Lin Muan immediately came to work at the coffee shop. Seeing that Yang Huan wasn’t there, he helped out with the responsibilities of the coffee shop staff during his piano breaks.
“It seems, Xiao Lin, I’ll have to prepare a uniform for you as well in the future!” Yang Yi said with a smile.
Lin Muan smiled shyly and said, “Big Brother Yang, it’s the least I can do. You’re paying me such a high salary, and you only ask me to play the piano for an hour in the morning and afternoon. The workload is too little. Even Ran Jin says I should do more!”
Guo Ziyi was munching on the wife cakes3that Lin Muan had brought back from Guangdong Province while whispering to Ding Xiang, “Sister Ding Xiang, these wife cakes are so delicious. I think you should try learning how to make them.”
“And then what? Make them for you to eat?” Ding Xiang exposed him.
“And then sell them in the shop!” Guo Ziyi said shamelessly. “Anyway, I’ll come by to support it, so don’t worry about them not selling.”
“I bet you’ll eat them all yourself!”
Guo Ziyi protested, “I really think they’re delicious, and everyone else does too. Xixi, do you think they’re good?”
Next to them, Xixi was happily eating, with a few sesame seeds stuck to her cute little face, though it was unclear how they got there.
Hearing Uncle Guo Ziyi’s question, the little girl lifted her head, but her mouth was full and she didn’t want to open it, so she could only nod vigorously.
“See!” Guo Ziyi pointed at Xixi and said proudly, “Xixi likes them too.”
Ding Xiang could only nod and say, “Since you all like them, I’ll look into it.”
At this moment, Guo Ziyi finally had the chance to turn to Lin Muan and said with a smile, “By the way, Brother Lin, today I saw a poster for a singing competition at the school activity center. It’s called ‘Singing Youth.’ They’re currently holding auditions in various provinces and cities, and the best contestants will be selected to participate in the main competition! The main competition is organized by a TV station and will be recorded as a TV show. I think you should sign up!”
“‘Singing Youth’? I remember, it’s a talent show from Xiangnan TV!” Lin Muan reacted quickly but he frowned and hesitated, saying, “But this competition is quite big, selecting the best singers nationwide. Do you think I can make it?”
“Whether you can or not, just sign up and give it a try! Who knows, you might win the championship?” Guo Ziyi chuckled, sitting comfortably and speaking without concern.
“How could that be? I couldn’t even win a competition held by Jiangcheng TV before,” Lin Muan said with a bitter smile.
Yang Yi also encouraged him, “Actually, I think what Guo Ziyi said is right. No matter the result, you should give it a try. Even if you don’t succeed, you won’t regret it! And if you can win, even if it’s just the regional championship and not the overall title, I think that’s still a great achievement!”
Lin Muan was persuaded.
