CHAPTER 49: CHAPTER 49: YOU HAVE TO GRAB THE CAKE FOR YOURSELF

"Don’t joke around." Chen Yiyang felt he was so embarrassed for the first time.

"I’m not joking." Yang Yu looked at Chen Yiyang very seriously and said, "There’s no better way to cooperate than marriage. This guarantees benefits for both of us.

If you choose to marry me, the pawnshop’s client needs list will be open to you. Our families will instantly transform from competitors into the closest partners."

"Besides," Yang Yu added, "I consider myself to be pretty. You’re quite good-looking too. The quality of our children would be very good."

Chen Yiyang was directly approached in this way for the first time.

It made him feel a bit embarrassed.

But after a few deep breaths, he suddenly became calm.

Eight or nine out of ten things feel wrong.

It’s not that Yang Yu’s sudden marriage proposal feels wrong.

There’s not that much love in this society.

Everyone thinks the conditions are pretty good, the personality is passable, and after marriage, both parties’ quality of life can be improved.

Then just get married.

After all, there are very few high-quality marriage candidates on the market, and many people have to shell out a astronomical dowry to get a wife.

The question now is why Yang Yu has this idea of proposing marriage.

"What’s your relationship with the pawnshop’s behind-the-scenes boss, Yang He?"

"I’m his illegitimate daughter. My mother wasn’t married to him. He has another son and daughter."

"Is marrying me your own suggestion or your father’s?"

"My father explained your situation to me, then I made the decision, and my father agreed."

"I had a deal with Liu Zhaodi before, does your father know?"

"He knows."

I understand.

Chen Yiyang figured everything out.

He fancied the pawnshop’s reputation intending to use it for business.

But they fancied him as a contingency plan.

Yang He’s net worth is at least over a billion, and the pawnshop is just one of his many ventures.

The reason why he suddenly transferred the pawnshop manager and sent his daughter over is because he heard about Chen Yiyang’s previous transaction.

The local wealthy woman Liu Zhaodi said while playing cards that she wanted a set of bone-carved mahjong.

The next day, Chen Yiyang delivered it to her.

This efficiency is unimaginable for a normal pawnshop. After all, you can’t purchase such illegal items from the seller and store them in a warehouse.

Moreover, Chen Yiyang made deals via the pawnshop route at Ma Ge, and Yang He definitely knows.

And after Chen Yiyang helped the pawnshop contact Zhang Jiuqian for an art exhibition and bought the judicial sale house, completing the eviction process the following day.

He thoroughly caught Yang He’s attention.

In Yang He’s eyes, Chen Yiyang surely resembles him as a pawn pushed to the front by certain forces.

Since the people backing Chen Yiyang and those backing Yang He aren’t the same group.

Yang He’s reasons for sending his daughter to marry Chen Yiyang are quite sufficient.

Once Yang He’s own backers get into trouble, he hopes Chen Yiyang can be a channel to ensure his son and daughter’s safety.

Such an old fox with sharp vision, acts decisively and promptly.

Chen Yiyang only met him once, and he dared to decide in such a short time to send his daughter over.

And it’s free of charge.

Chen Yiyang only needs to provide a marriage certificate.

He’s marrying an illegitimate daughter, even if Yang He gets caught and thrown into jail, it won’t implicate Chen Yiyang.

This is a free cake, and it seems there’s no reason not to eat it.

Chen Yiyang looked at Yang Yu.

Yang Yu extended her fingers and slowly unbuttoned her suit.

Underneath, she wore nothing else, revealing lace edges.

The cake looks good.

And it seems tasty.

But Chen Yiyang quickly made up his mind.

The cake must be eaten, but not Yang He’s; it has to be the one he snatched himself.

He’s already on a roll, so why does he need others to give him cake to eat?

Can’t he snatch it and savor it slowly?

Chen Yiyang thought of this and directly asked Yang Yu, "You said you want to marry me, so can I ask what assets you own now?"

"I only have a car in my name. But my mother and I have more than five million in savings together." Yang Yu answered honestly.

"Let me say something harsh." Chen Yiyang’s thoughts became clearer, but he continued speaking slowly.

"This five million can’t even buy a brick from your pawnshop."

"That’s right. But the pawnshop is impossible for me to inherit." Under Chen Yiyang’s pressure, Yang Yu’s ambition gradually expanded.

"A woman with no assets in her name. Marrying you means I’m at a loss. Unless you want to become like your mother, someone’s insignificant concubine."

Yang Yu was somewhat enraged by Chen Yiyang’s words. She gripped a water cup angrily looking at Chen Yiyang.

As if she was ready to splash water on Chen Yiyang’s face in the next second.

"I have a proposal." Chen Yiyang said calmly, "I neither want to marry you nor want to get the pawnshop’s client list and contacts from you.

What if we do this? You take advantage of your new position and take all the client records from the pawnshop and bring them to me. I’ll give you a partner’s status.

If I complete a transaction through the client records you hold, I can give you a ten percent share.

Doing this for a few years, you can buy some ventures yourself, and you won’t have to look at anyone’s face."

Chen Yiyang’s words directly made Yang Yu release her hand from the water cup.

"You want me to steal my dad’s client records?"

"According to today’s popular saying, he’s only your biological father. If he were your real dad, would he treat you as a marriage tool?

It’s a new era. If you have time, you can watch how the female bloggers online fight for their independence. We might not be able to learn the good, but can’t we at least learn the bad?"

"Wouldn’t doing this carry legal risks?" Yang Yu began to seriously consider whether Chen Yiyang’s proposal was feasible.

"Definitely none criminally. Possibly civil risk, but don’t forget what your dad’s status is. Would he dare sue you over this, risking his life?"

"Besides, what does stealing mean." Chen Yiyang guided, "You are the manager of the pawnshop, you should be able to access client lists and needs originally.

Once you leave the pawnshop, you’d merely have a covert partnership with me.

Openly, you’re not my employee; I can conduct business with whoever I wish, and those clients would be eager for another trading channel."

If Chen Yiyang proposed this to the previous pawnshop manager, they might turn and run.

But Yang Yu would not.

Yang He used the father-daughter relationship to control her, now it becomes the reason she can smoothly become independent from the pawnshop.

Her dad didn’t give her a share of the ventures, so why can’t she secure some herself?

"Let’s agree on this then." Yang Yu fully accepted Chen Yiyang’s words.

No parents can beat self-reliance.

This might be Yang Yu’s only chance to independently break free.

All she has to do is acquire a list.

No, actually two lists.

Originally, Chen Yiyang required only the client needs list; now, he wants the client contacts list too.
