Chapter Index

    Inside the office.

    “Chairman Xu, I wonder what you came here to discuss today.”

    Zhang Mingrong looked at Xu Shaochen with a smile and asked.

    I have to admit, this woman is still quite beautiful. In her work attire, she exudes a mature charm.

    But Xu Shaochen wasn’t interested at all. He didn’t lack women; in fact, he had so many that it was getting hard to find time for all of them.

    “I just came to inform you, Chairman Zhang, that if you keep poaching people from my company, Yunbei Industries might not remain stable.”

    Xu Shaochen looked at Zhang Mingrong and spoke lightly. He was here specifically to warn her.

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingrong shook her head. “Chairman Xu, we simply offered a fair price. Whether your employees choose to resign or not is beyond my control.”

    “Knock, knock, knock…”

    At that moment, the sound of knocking came from the door.

    “Come in.”

    Zhang Mingrong showed an apologetic expression to Xu Shaochen before raising her voice to speak.

    The secretary walked in and looked at Zhang Mingrong. “Chairman, someone from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau has arrived. They said there’s an issue with our paperwork and asked us to cooperate with their investigation.”

    “How is that possible? Our paperwork…” Zhang Mingrong started to speak but suddenly thought of something. She looked at Xu Shaochen. “Chairman Xu, this is not amusing.”

    “I’m just reminding you to behave. Otherwise, today it’s the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, tomorrow it could be the Price Bureau, the day after that the Police Station, and the next day the court’s seal.”

    Xu Shaochen looked at Zhang Mingrong, his tone calm. Then he smiled slightly, walked up to her, placed his hands on the desk, and looked down at her as he spoke word by word:

    “If you dare to poach from my company again, I’ll make sure Yunbei Industries is harassed by government officials on odd-numbered days and attacked by thugs on even-numbered days.”

    After saying this, Xu Shaochen pinched her delicate cheek and then turned around and walked out of the office.

    Zhang Mingrong touched her reddened cheek, and a sharp gleam of coldness flashed in her eyes as she watched Xu Shaochen’s back.

    “Chairman, are… are you okay?”

    The secretary asked cautiously. It was only then that he realized what arrogant behavior Chairman Xu of Chen Yu Company had displayed.

    “I’m fine. You can leave. Don’t worry about the people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau; they’ll leave on their own.”

    Zhang Mingrong waved her hand, then picked up her phone and dialed a number.

    ……………

    After leaving Yunbei Industries, Xu Shaochen went to visit Song Xinran, then Du Ruyan, Xie Wei, Zhou Sixian, and finally Zhao Qingyu. He spent time with all the women, one after another.

    By the time he was done accompanying them, it was already evening.

    “Ding, ding, ding…”

    Xu Shaochen had just dropped off the last woman at her house when his phone rang.

    “Boss, it’s been taken care of.”

    “Alright, I’ll be there shortly.”

    Xu Shaochen hung up the phone, then bent down to get into the car. “To the company.”

    About twenty minutes later, Xu Shaochen arrived at the Chen Yu Company.

    By this point, everyone had already left, but the lights at Chen Yu Company were still on.

    A few bodyguards were stationed at the door as Xu Shaochen made his way straight to his office.

    Inside the office.

    Zhou Wei and two others were trembling on the ground, their faces bruised and battered. Clearly, they had not been very cooperative when they were ‘invited’ over.

    Hearing the door open, all three turned their heads at once.

    “Chairman Xu… what is the meaning of this? Do you realize this is illegal?”

    “Exactly, this is unlawful confinement!”

    “Let us go immediately. We promise not to pursue this matter any further.”

    Seeing Xu Shaochen, the three became extremely agitated and shouted at the top of their lungs, trying to get up and rush toward him.

    But just as they made a move to stand, several bodyguards ruthlessly kicked them back to the ground.

    “Illegal? Oh, so you do know the law. Then do you also know that stealing confidential company information is illegal as well?”

    Xu Shaochen looked at the three of them, his face full of curiosity.

    “Evidence? Show us evidence! Without proof, you have no right to accuse us. None!”

    Zhou Wei glared at Xu Shaochen and questioned him. He was confident that he hadn’t left any evidence behind.

    Xu Shaochen must have inferred this from Yunbei Industries’ recent actions.

    Because recently, Yunbei Industries had been just countering every move of Chen Yu Company. How else could they manage that without inside information?

    “Evidence? Who do you think you are to demand evidence from me?”

    Xu Shaochen sneered coldly, kicking out his foot in disdain.

    “Ah!”

    Zhou Wei let out a scream as Xu Shaochen’s kick sent him flying about two meters back.

    “Damn it, I trusted you back then, and that’s why I gave you these important positions. But this is how you repay me? Ungrateful scum!”

    Xu Shaochen spoke coldly, then waved his hand. A bodyguard handed him a baseball bat.

    “Chairman Xu… What… what are you going to do?”

    The remaining two were scared pale by the sight and trembled in fear.

    “What do you think? Of course, I’m going to beat the dogs! Disobedient dogs must be disciplined.”

    As Xu Shaochen finished speaking, the baseball bat in his hand came down mercilessly.

    Of course, he didn’t strike their heads. After all, they didn’t deserve to die; a painful lesson would suffice.

    “Ah! Stop! Stop it, Chairman Xu! Please, stop!”

    “I was wrong, Chairman Xu, I was wrong! It was all Zhou Wei! He incited us!”

    The two of them howled on the ground, confessing everything and putting all the blame on Zhou Wei.

    “Clang!”

    After a few minutes, Xu Shaochen casually tossed the baseball bat onto the ground.

    A bodyguard nearby immediately stepped forward and handed him a clean towel.

    Xu Shaochen took the towel, wiped his sweat, and then tossed it back to the bodyguard. He looked at the three of them and said, “Chen Yu lost a lot of money because of the three of you. I don’t care about the money, but I will not let this go.”

    “Throw them out, strip them naked, and dump them on the street for the reporters to see. Let them report that these three thieves tried to steal from the company and were beaten up by security. I want to see if Yunbei Industries will still want garbage like you.”

    “No! No, Chairman Xu! I was wrong! I was really wrong! Please, spare me! Spare me!”

    Zhou Wei was so terrified that he wet himself. He crawled to Xu Shaochen’s feet, begging and confessing.

    He hadn’t expected Xu Shaochen to be this cruel. With this, it wasn’t just Yunbei Industries; no company in Jiangzhou would dare hire them.

    Forget about holding high positions; finding any kind of work would be a challenge.

    “Take them away. I don’t sell regret medicine!”

    Xu Shaochen loosened his tie and said coldly.

    “No, Chairman Xu! Please give us one more chance! Chairman Xu, Chairman Xu…”

    The three of them struggled and screamed, but Xu Shaochen was unmoved until their voices gradually faded away.

    Chapter Summary
