Chapter 046: You Think You Can Push Me Around?
To be honest, I have no interest in shaking the world with my name, and finding my father doesn't matter much to me either.
What I truly want is to give Sister Yan a happy and fulfilling life, letting her have a man who truly loves and cherishes her, pampering her throughout her entire life.
If I also find a suitable girl, I would treat her the same way.
We would live our peaceful and ordinary little life.
However, a semi-disabled guy like me, who is certainly no handsome man, naturally has no woman looking twice at me.
I don't force it either; as long as Sister Yan can be happy, living alone myself is quite good too.
Not wanting Third Master to be overly exhausted, Sister Yan and I had him lie back down in bed to rest.
I originally wanted to replace Little Monkey and let him go back to the company with Sister Yan, but the kid stubbornly refused. Wenliang also wanted to stay here to take care of Third Master, so I had no choice but to head back to the company with Sister Yan.
To my surprise, it was already almost eight o'clock in the evening, yet the shop doors were still open. Could they still have not finished work?
There was a car parked at the entrance, so it seemed there were guests.
Sister Yan and I got out of the car and walked into the shop. At a glance, we saw the person in the reception room and both of us froze in place.
Sister Yan clapped her hands and said, "Oh no, I forgot I made an appointment with someone!"
I widened my eyes and pointed at the reception room, asking, "Sis, you're the one who made an appointment with this guy?"
"Mm!" Sister Yan nodded and said, "I originally wanted to discuss it with you, but a call came from the hospital, so it got delayed!"
I took a deep breath and said, "Sis, since you've decided, just do it your way!"
Sister Yan smiled slightly, pulled my arm, and walked inside: "Then let's go talk to him together!"
The reception room was made entirely of glass, so the inside could be seen clearly from the outside, but it was soundproof, preventing any voices from being heard.
Sister Yan and I pushed the door open and walked in. Chen Yinan was sitting on the sofa, chatting happily with Zhao Shangde, who had bandages wrapped around his head.
It seemed that the wound from when Third Master smashed his head hadn't healed properly yet.
"Sorry about that, President Zhao. Something came up unexpectedly, making you wait for so long!" Sister Yan walked over with an apologetic expression and bowed to apologize to Zhao Shangde.
Xiangxiang, who had come over to serve tea, curled her lips and said, "Boss, you weren't here just now. President Zhao was so terrifying when he first arrived! He brought a whole gang of thugs and almost smashed our shop!"
Zhao Shangde's old face flushed, and he snorted, "If I had known that Prosecutor Chen's precious son was working here, I wouldn't have dared to act rashly even if you gave me a hundred guts!"
Sister Yan and I exchanged glances, both looking at Chen Yinan with a bit of curiosity.
This guy's reason for joining our Yanhui Company was quite bizarre, and his background was also rather strange.
However, I could sense he harbored no malicious intent, and we indeed lacked manpower, so I agreed to let him join.
As for his family background and such, that was his personal business. Since he was unwilling to speak of it, we didn't pry further.
Now it seemed this kid's identity was not simple at all!
He actually managed to make someone as unprincipled as Zhao Shangde—who even dared to scam Third Master—feel a sense of apprehension!
Chen Yinan waved his hand and smiled, "President Zhao, don't be like that. I've already said that I have nothing to do with that person anymore! President Zhao, feel free to smash the place if you want, no need to save face for him. When the time comes, I'll just prosecute you based on my own ability. At worst, you'll just have to pay compensation, and then spend anywhere from three to seven years inside. When you get out, you'll still be a fine fellow!"
The muscles on Zhao Shangde's face twitched as he forced a smile and said, "Young Master Chen sure loves to joke!"
He turned his head, looked at Sister Yan, and asked, "I wonder what instructions Miss Shi has for inviting me over?"
"Please wait a moment, President Zhao. I'll be right back!" Sister Yan smiled at him, turned around, and walked out.
I sat down next to Zhao Shangde and nodded at Chen Yinan.
Chen Yinan yawned, stood up, and said, "I'm leaving then! But let me remind President Zhao: choose your words carefully and don't act on impulse! You can't afford to lose your better half like Wu Zetian!"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Shangde was stunned for a moment.
Chen Yinan pointed at his own forehead and said, "You've lost your Li Zhi!"
Zhao Shangde's face darkened, and with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, he said, "Rest assured, Young Master Chen, I won't!"
Chen Yinan curled his lips and turned to leave. After he closed the door, Zhao Shangde pointed at him and asked, "Does your company also have shares from the Chen family?"
"No!" I shrugged and said, "He just came here to work odd jobs, monthly salary three thousand!"
Puff!
Zhao Shangde spat out a mouthful of tea, stared at me with wide eyes, and asked, "Do you have any idea whose son he is?"
"No idea!" I shook my head very honestly. "Whoever's son comes here, the base salary is three thousand. If you want to make more, it depends on your own ability to bring in business. There's no helping it, it's a small company, we can't afford such high salaries!"
Zhao Shangde looked at me, then looked at Chen Yinan's retreating figure outside, swallowed hard, and cursed, "You're all out of your damn minds!"
Sister Yan returned, holding a long box in her hands. The moment he saw this item, the look in Zhao Shangde's eyes began to contract.
Of course he recognized this thing!
Yet he didn't show excessive agitation; instead, he crossed his arms, leaned back, and looked at Sister Yan and me, saying:
"It seems the two of you are truly the ones Third Master trusts the most!
Speak, how much money will make me hand it over? But let me tell you in advance, if it's the price Third Master negotiated before, then we don't need to talk! If I had that much, I wouldn't have needed to let you take this treasure away!"
I smiled slightly and asked him, "Then how much does President Zhao think it's worth? Or how much are you willing to pay to take it away?"
Zhao Shangde looked at me with a gloomy expression, let out a cold chuckle, and said, "Kid, playing these tricks with me, you are far inferior to Third Master! I wouldn't dare play tough with Third Master, but I wouldn't dare play with you two? Do you really think that seeing me take a hit means you can manipulate me too? Or do you think that with that Young Master Chen sitting here as backing, I wouldn't dare touch you?"
Sister Yan wanted to say something, but I shook my head at her, looked coldly at Zhao Shangde, and said, "Then what is President Zhao's intention? Direct robbery? Well, you can make your move right now then."
Veins bulged on Zhao Shangde's forehead, and he glared at me with a fierce gaze, as if he wanted to swallow me whole in one bite.
I smiled and looked at him: "Zhao Shangde, no need to put on a brave and fierce act for me, I don't buy that routine! I know you have influence in Haizhou, and maybe a single phone call from you could make me lose everything overnight..."
Before I could finish, Zhao Shangde sneered hideously, "Since you know, good! Without Third Master's strength, don't try to pick a fight with me! The one I fear is Third Master, not you little crawling bugs! Piss me off, and I'll make you two sister and brother wish you were dead!"
I nodded, smiled coldly, and said, "You have this ability, so I believe your words. But now I'm putting this thing right here, do you dare to take it? If you're going to deal with the two of us, do you believe that as long as I don't die, I will definitely find every possible way to turn you into a lonely man with no one left? Everyone has weaknesses. No matter how ruthless and fierce you Zhao Shangde are, you still care about your wife and children. Do you have the ability to follow them around every day?"
Zhao Shangde slammed the table and cursed at me, "Don't fucking scare me! Don't you know the rule that troubles shouldn't reach the wife and children? How the hell did you learn your skills from Third Master!"
I directly smashed the teacup on the coffee table with a single palm, pointed at his nose, and cursed, "You fucking laid hands on my sister, and now you're talking this kind of bullshit to me? Do you even believe those words yourself?"
Zhao Shangde's expression changed. He looked at the shattered ceramic teacup on the coffee table from my palm strike, and then at my right hand, which was embedded with ceramic shards and still bleeding, unable to utter a word for a long time!
I expressionlessly pulled out the ceramic shards embedded in my flesh, tossed the blood-stained shards into my mouth, and chewed them up with a crunching sound, just like eating candy, before swallowing them down!
