Li Ping was brought to tears by what Chen Haoxuan said. She cried for the hardships Chen Haoxuan had faced in the past. With a trembling voice, she scolded the women who had come to trouble her, saying, "You heartless people, when Xuan was struggling, you laughed at him. Now that Xuan is doing well, you are unhappy and come to create trouble for him. Is this how you treat others? He doesn't owe you anything, and you are not his family. Why should he treat you well? Why should people like you, who can't even sew, be allowed into the Clothing Factory? Are you expecting Xuan to support you? What gives you the right? Just because you are from Chen Family Village? Huh? Tell me!"
Li Ping was feeling quite impulsive at that moment; if those women dared to retort, she might just rush forward and confront them.
The women causing the disturbance fell silent. They began to reflect on their actions. The reason they had come to stir up trouble was out of jealousy. After hearing Chen Haoxuan and Li Ping's words, they felt very embarrassed. They realized that Chen Haoxuan had worked hard to reach his current position and that they should not have troubled him.
Seeing that the women were silent, Chen Haoxuan did not hold back either. He addressed them firmly, saying, "I have achieved my current status through my own abilities. If you have the capability to cause trouble here, then you should have the ability to build an even greater career than mine. You are not welcome here; please leave."
Chen Haoxuan stepped aside, indicating for the troublesome women to leave immediately, while the security at the entrance cleared a path for them. The women left Li Ping's home with expressions of shame and embarrassment.
After they left, Chen Haoxuan turned to Li Ping with concern and asked, "Aunt Ping, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Aunt Ping replied with a faint smile.
Chen Haoxuan took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to Li Ping gently, saying, "Aunt Ping, please don't cry anymore. It's all in the past now. If something like this happens again, just let Jiang Dong and the others handle it; let's see who dares to bully you."
"I'm not crying because of them; I'm crying because of you. What you just said reminded me of the old you. I remember back then when you..." Li Ping's words were cut off by Chen Haoxuan.
"Aunt Ping, I don't want to hear about my past anymore," he interrupted her. Chen Haoxuan didn't want to dwell on those sad memories; he had only mentioned them out of anger. The villagers had told him about his past.
"Oh," Li Ping responded softly.
"There's nothing more to discuss; I’ll head back now," Chen Haoxuan said to Li Ping.
Chen Haoxuan turned around and said to Jiang Dong and the others standing at the door, "Follow me."
Chen Haoxuan led Jiang Dong and the others to their usual training place. Once they arrived, Jiang Dong and the others lined up neatly.
Standing in front of Jiang Dong and the others, Chen Haoxuan spoke seriously, "From now on, if anyone comes to trouble me, you just drive them away. If they confront you, provoke them. If they make a move against you, don't hold back; teach them a harsh lesson. If anything happens, I, Chen Haoxuan, will support you."
"Understood," Jiang Dong and the others replied loudly.
"Now continue your training. Don't be afraid of hardship. The stronger your skills become, the more money you'll earn in the future. Trust me; I'm not lying to you," Chen Haoxuan said sternly to Jiang Dong and the others.
Due to his bad mood from earlier events, Chen Haoxuan decided to spar with Jiang Dong and the others. While it sounded like sparring, he actually intended to push them hard. He allowed them to fight him ten at a time using any weapons and methods they wanted. As long as they could subdue him, he would reward them with ten thousand Renminbi.
Talent often comes from financial investment, just like those sharpshooters who fire thousands of rounds daily; it's hard not to become a sharpshooter. Chen Haoxuan frequently offered bonuses, motivating Jiang Dong and the others to practice hard for both rewards and reputation.
No one understood the hidden dangers of society better than Chen Haoxuan; otherwise, he wouldn't have put so much effort into training so many security personnel.
Chen Haoxuan wasn't afraid of Jiang Dong and the others going all out against him, nor were they afraid of him being tough on them, so their fights were intense. Chen Haoxuan was not physically strong; he didn't want to compete in endurance but rather in skill. He didn't go all out but did hit hard enough that each time he struck, Jiang Dong and the others would temporarily lose their combat effectiveness.
Two hours later, all of Jiang Dong's group had been taken down by Chen Haoxuan, who also collapsed on the ground from exhaustion. Lying on the grass, Chen Haoxuan happily uttered one word: "Refreshing." After fighting so many battles in the 21st century, this was the most enjoyable one.
Unbeknownst to Chen Haoxuan, everyone in Chen Family Village was discussing what had happened that day. The women who had caused trouble at Li Ping's house were now too afraid to go out; whenever they did, people would point and gossip about them.
Early the next morning at 6 AM, Chen Haoxuan's phone rang. The ringing woke him from his deep sleep. He turned over and reached for his phone on the cabinet without checking the caller ID because he was too tired to care. Pressing the answer button, he said, "Why are you calling me so early? What's so important?"
The sound of " Jiang Xianghan " came from the phone: "Xuan, your sister is going crazy from being urged by everyone. You need to hurry up and make some clothes for me. I'm on my way to your house now, so get up quickly and help me make breakfast. I'm starving! See you soon, bye!"
The phone line beeped, indicating that " Jiang Xianghan " had hung up. Chen Haoxuan looked at his beeping phone and muttered to himself, "Seriously, does she think I'm her maid?"
Despite his complaints, Chen Haoxuan quickly got up, dressed, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and went to prepare breakfast. He made two servings: one for himself and another for the young lady, " Jiang Xianghan."
After finishing the breakfast, Chen Haoxuan noticed that " Jiang Xianghan " hadn't arrived yet, so he decided to eat first. Just as he finished eating and was about to wash the dishes, he heard the sound of a car outside. In Chen Family Village, only Chen Haorong and Chen Haoxuan owned cars, so it must be " Jiang Xianghan."
Chen Haoxuan hurried downstairs to greet her. As he descended, he saw his security guard blocking " Jiang Xianghan," not allowing her to enter.
When " Jiang Xianghan " saw Chen Haoxuan coming out, she happily waved at him and said, "Xuan, it's me! Your security guard won't let me in."
