Sure enough, it wasn't long before Chen Ming called me, accusing me of being rebellious and daring to assault the Helmsman. He mentioned that he could no longer manage this situation, as Qian Cun Jin had already sought someone of higher authority from Tian Ye Group. Now it was up to those above to decide how to handle this matter.
Assault the Helmsman? What are you talking about, Chen Duozhu? I don’t understand.
I pretended to be confused.
What do you mean you don’t understand, Xiang Dong? What other tricks are you trying to play? This time I can’t protect you! You better not drag me down with you!
Chen Ming shouted, clearly furious.
Hearing this made me chuckle. Chen Ming was hoping for me to make a mistake; there was no doubt about it. As long as Lu Ying was safe at my home, Chen Ming wouldn’t dare let me take any risks. He knew that if I were to die, I would definitely drag him down with me!
Don’t say that, Chen Duozhu. If I die, you won’t be any better off either. I really didn’t play any tricks this time; I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just dealt with someone who came to disrupt my place.
I said calmly.
What do you mean just dealing with someone who disrupted your place? Xiang Dong! If you’re looking for trouble, don’t involve me! Didn’t I tell you? Qian Cun Jin is the Hebei Province Leader; he will come looking for you!
Chen Ming said with a sour expression.
I laughed; this fool was probably too agitated to grasp my meaning.
Did you ever tell me that? You must be mistaken.
I asked. Chen Ming paused for a moment, realizing the misunderstanding.
Oh! So that’s why you’re so bold, daring to hit Qian Cun Jin. So this is the trick you’re playing? That’s pretty childish!
Chen Ming said, understanding now. I smiled dismissively and replied: As long as it works out, I hope Chen Duozhu has the sense to keep his mouth shut and not get himself involved.
After saying that, I hung up the phone.
Indeed, this situation was rather childish; anyone could see that I was playing a trick. However, such tricks could bypass the strict regulations of Tian Ye Group!
And why did I dare to do this?
Being domineering isn’t about risking your life; it’s about having reason and justification!
I had my own deductions regarding this situation.
If those above didn’t come to handle it, then Qian Cun Jin could only have Chen Ming punish me. But does Chen Ming have that capability? Clearly not.
If those above were to intervene...
How does Chen Ming’s position compare to Qian Cun Jin’s?
The headquarters of Tian Ye Group is in Kyoto; as the Helmsman of Kyoto Headquarters, Chen Ming should hold a higher status than Qian Cun Jin, who is merely the Helmsman of Hebei.
Moreover, Chen Ming had only recently been appointed as Kyoto Master. Even so, he still wasn’t favored by his new boss and had to remain vigilant at all times, afraid of making even the slightest mistake lest his new boss replace him with someone else.
And what about Qian Cun Jin?
He isn’t any more handsome than Chen Ming; in terms of flattery and sycophancy, he certainly isn’t better than Chen Ming! They are essentially on the same level!
And the root cause of all this? It was Qian Cun Jin’s son who had harassed my girlfriend.
What’s going on? Just because he’s the son of the Helmsman, does that mean he can freely tease the girlfriends of those below him? If this situation escalates, and the new boss sides with Qian Cun Jin, it would imply that the Helmsman’s son can do as he pleases with others’ girlfriends. What kind of impact would that have? It would destabilize the morale of the troops!
Thank you, Dong Ge.
After I finished the call, Zheng Yu spoke up, and I couldn’t help but chuckle.
Thank for what?
Lu Ying should be protected by me, as her older brother, but I haven’t done as well as you have.
Zheng Yu smiled and said that when I decided to call Qian Cun Jin, he was taken aback.
I laughed.
It’s just a matter of our personalities. I believe that if your sister were in danger, you would also risk everything to save her.
I said with a smile. Although I didn’t fully understand the sibling bond between Zheng Yu and Lu Ying, I knew Zheng Yu’s character; he was definitely not a coward. Compared to me, he was more rational.
In fact, being rational isn’t wrong; sometimes being overly rational can lead to missing out on opportunities. This is where Zheng Yu and I complement each other perfectly.
After hearing this, Zheng Yu laughed. He didn’t mention Lu Ying anymore but said, “This operation is a bit risky. After all, Qian Cun Jin is the Helmsman’s son. If you strike him, it will make things difficult for the upper management of Tian Ye Group.”
I understood what Zheng Yu meant; everything has two sides. It’s not good for the Helmsman’s son to forcibly take someone else's girlfriend; such behavior is a serious taboo. It could undermine morale and lead to disobedience among subordinates.
I still leaned towards my previous assumption: this new boss has only been in charge of Tian Ye Group for a few months; what he fears most should be unstable morale. Disobedience can be dealt with gradually later on, but unstable morale poses a greater threat.
Both sides have their points; it all depends on whether those above will address this matter and who they will side with.
Two hours later, several luxury cars stopped outside my door. I knew reinforcements had arrived for Qian Cun Jin.
From upstairs, I spotted a red Ferrari!
Such an ostentatious car clearly wouldn’t belong to Chen Ming or that old man Qian Cun Jin; I realized someone from above had come to handle this situation.
I went downstairs to greet them.
“Xiang Dong! You’ve done well! How dare you hit Qian Duozhu?”
As soon as I stepped out, Chen Ming immediately spoke up. This was just formal talk; he was my direct superior and needed to make his stance clear.
I nodded in response and watched as a woman emerged from the crowd surrounding the red Ferrari. She was dressed in professional attire, her figure voluptuous and her appearance striking.
They actually sent a woman to handle this situation?
Great! Generally speaking, women are more emotional and less likely to accept the forcible taking of another's girlfriend! From the very beginning, I had the upper hand!
“Miss Fang! This is him! Not only did he break my son’s leg, but he also beat up all my little brothers! He even slapped me more than ten times! Miss Fang, we at Tian Ye Group prohibit internal strife; I had no choice! Otherwise, I would have really brought people to level his company!”
Qian Cun Jin pointed at me while complaining to that woman. I observed her expression closely; she seemed somewhat disdainful towards Qian Cun Jin!
"Xiang Dong, as a member of Tian Ye Group, you dare to defy authority and assault the Helmsman? What do you think our family rules are?" The woman said, her gaze piercing as she looked at me.
"I'm sorry, Miss Fang, but I didn't know he was the Helmsman of Tian Ye Group. He came to my company early this morning and caused a scene. As a Southern District Brother of Tian Ye Group, how could I just stand by?" I frowned.
"Didn't know? Can you brush me off with just that? Is Qian Duozhu a fool who wouldn't identify himself when he came here?" The woman frowned, clearly not fully aware of the situation.
"Qian Duozhu really didn't say anything," I replied calmly. He indeed hadn't mentioned it.
"You’re talking nonsense! If I had said it, you wouldn’t let me! You clearly knew my identity, which is why you stopped me from speaking!" Qian Cun Jin cursed, and I couldn't help but laugh.
"So you're Qian Duozhu? Look at that—you just said it yourself. Since I didn’t let you speak, then you didn’t say anything. I genuinely didn’t know your identity!" I said nonchalantly. Sometimes, being shameless was necessary! Qian Cun Jin took a deep breath, nearly choking on his anger, then turned to Chen Ming.
"Chen Duozhu, don’t tell me you didn’t inform your subordinate that I was coming to settle the score with him!"
"I'm sorry, Qian Duozhu. I tried calling Xiang Dong but couldn’t get through," Chen Ming replied.
"What? Old Chen! What do you mean by that? Are you lying?" After Chen Ming spoke, Qian Cun Jin was left dumbfounded! I had warned Chen Ming not to say he had informed me.
At this moment, Chen Ming kept giving Qian Cun Jin helpless looks. If I guessed correctly, they were on the same side; Chen Ming couldn't do anything to me because Qian Cun Jin probably already knew that.
"Alright! Let’s stop discussing what’s irrelevant. Everyone knows the truth. Xiang Dong, whether you knew or not, your defiance is wrong. According to family law, it calls for dismissal and flogging! You have no objections, right?" Miss Fang looked at me with her narrow eyes cold as ice, seemingly looking down on everyone present.
"What? Dismissal and flogging? That’s unacceptable, Miss Fang! Yes, I admit I made a mistake in this matter as a man—a man who stands tall. But let me be honest with you: even if I had known this old man’s identity, I would still have hit him! They were in the wrong first! It was intolerable!" I pointed at Qian Cun Jin passionately. Looking at the woman’s expression, she probably still didn’t understand the full context of this situation! I needed to assertively guide her thinking!
I wanted her to realize that if she didn’t side with me, it would lead to instability within our ranks!
I needed her on my side!
