Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 303 - 303 296 The Cat by the Pond

?Chapter 303: Chapter 296: The Cat by the Pond Chapter 303: Chapter 296: The Cat by the Pond Chairman Shu had always believed he was quite skilled at reading people, able to guess what they were thinking from subtle changes in their expressions, but now, he was puzzled.

When Professor Jiao and Mr. Yuan had heard Boss Cai mention that phrase, specifically when he referred to “Hengwu Square,” their facial expressions had become very…difficult to comprehend. He truly didn’t know how to link their reactions to “Hengwu Square” and that cat.

Looking at the two still with subtle expressions, and then at the Black Cat, Chairman Shu coughed and said, “Professor Jiao and Mr. Yuan, what are your thoughts on Hengwu Square? Could you discuss a bit, offer some advice, so Old Cai can avoid some trouble after he goes there? I’ve heard that place is quite particular.”

Some ordinary small shops wouldn’t be much of an issue, but for those wanting to expand, becoming involved in some interests was inevitable, like dealing with certain people there, such as Ye Hao, the boss behind Hengwu Square. Chairman Shu wasn’t very familiar with many local big shots in the mainland, having hardly any interactions with Ye Hao. His knowledge of Ye Hao was limited to the information his assistant had given him, which included Ye Hao and some other unofficial forces around Hengwu Square. Chairman Shu actually didn’t approve of Boss Cai choosing that location, but since Boss Cai insisted, he was left with no option but to do his best to help.

“This… Hengwu Square…” Mr. Yuan hesitated, opened his mouth, but then looked at Mr. Jiao, “Mingsheng, you talk, after all, your family…someone is more familiar with it.”

That someone…

Zheng Tan had stopped flipping through the tofu’s erect ears when they started discussing Hengwu Square, jumped back to the chair beside Mr. Jiao, and listened to their conversation. Mr. Yuan’s gaze kept darting towards Zheng Tan as he spoke, and Zheng Tan didn’t know what this guy was thinking.

Mr. Jiao thought for a moment and said, “I believe Chairman Shu and Boss Cai have done some research on Hengwu Square. Although I live near Chuhua University, I don’t often go there, and I might not know more about it than you two.”

Chairman Shu picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and looked at Mr. Jiao, “Do you know Ye Hao?” Not knowing about Hengwu Square doesn’t necessarily mean not knowing about the person behind it.

“I know him, but not well,” Mr. Jiao did not deny. There were many things he didn’t want to discuss, especially since it involved his cat, but Chairman Shu was too sharp, and since it was their first meeting, they were hardly acquainted, let alone likely to share much.

Hearing Mr. Jiao say he knew Ye Hao somewhat surprised Chairman Shu; he hadn’t expected the two people he happened to meet to actually have connections there. He knew from the material given by his assistant that Ye Hao, much younger than him, wasn’t easy to deal with, having quite ruthless methods. This was also why he was worried about Boss Cai opening a shop there. Boss Cai wasn’t very tactful and could easily offend people. Back in South City, they had a few people to back him up, but it would be different in Chuhua City, even if it was just a branch. Boss Cai would surely spend more time there, as it was his first branch. As a friend for many years, he didn’t want to see Boss Cai fail shortly after arriving there.
