"Who the hell are you?" Wang Kang said disdainfully.
"Watch your—this is Director Dong..."
The assistant beside him had not finished speaking when Li Wen stopped him.
He reined in the killing intent radiating from his entire body and turned his gentle gaze toward Xu Yi.
"It's him. You look so much like him. You have his shadow between your brows."
Xu Yi found it amusing inwardly, but he still put on a managerial expression.
"Are you the uncle who was boxing this morning? What are you doing here?" Xu Yi asked, confused.
"Xiao Yi, I'm your uncle."
Uncle?
Everyone present wore strange expressions, and they all looked toward Yu Shu in unison.
Another uncle had appeared...
Director, was he really an orphan?
Xu Yi looked even more puzzled. "I have another uncle?"
"That's right. Your father and I are brothers by different fathers and different mothers."
Everyone: "..."
"I made you suffer before. From today onward, no one in Harbor City will dare—or be able to—bully you. I mean it!" Li Wen declared domineeringly.
"Heh, I don't care where your uncle came from. If you offend me, don't expect to have an easy time in Harbor City."
Yu Shu shook his head. "It's fine, Xu Yi. At worst, you can come work at the Education Bureau. It's a civil-service position that countless people dream of."
Li Wen shook his head. "Thank you, Director, but this is a family matter. I'll handle it myself."
Yu Shu: "???"
Seriously, buddy, are you stealing my job?
Smack~
Yu Shu was still displeased when Li Wen had already slapped Wang Kang across the face.
"You're just a small manager at the Furun Group. Who gave you permission to throw your weight around outside?
"You corporate parasites—did Human Resources take the wrong medicine when they hired you?"
Li Wen's imposing presence seemed to frighten Wang Kang. He covered his face and retreated repeatedly. "You... who are you, exactly?"
"Heh, you're asking who I am? Are you qualified to know?"
Zhang Quan said quietly from the side, "President Wang, don't let him bluff you. How could a poor student have a powerful relative? I suspect he's just putting on a show of strength."
"Exactly..."
Wang Kang nodded repeatedly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Wen slapped him across the face again.
He had been a soldier, so he naturally hated evil. Besides, this was an employee under him who was committing crimes.
"Call your superior now and ask him who I am."
"Ask him!"
Wang Kang was completely intimidated by his presence and called the general manager.
"Hello, brother-in-law."
"How many times have I told you? At the company, you address me by my title."
"Plant."
"What exactly is going on?"
"It's nothing much. Someone asked me to call you."
Chen Xiao could no longer keep his composure and immediately launched into a tirade at Wang Kang. "Are you a stupid donkey? If someone tells you to call me, you call me? What next, are they going to tell you to eat shit?"
"Calm down, brother-in-law. It's just that the man's presence was practically that of a leader."
"You! Forget it... Ask him what his name is."
Wang Kang looked at Li Wen nervously. "My brother-in-law is asking your name."
"Li Wen."
"Li Wen? That sounds a little familiar."
"Brother-in-law, his name is Li Wen."
"Hmph, Li Wen... Li Wen!"
A chair could be heard crashing over the phone. "Isn't that the chairman? Go to the company website right now and look at the chairman's photo. Compare it with him."
At that moment, ten thousand grass-mud horses seemed to be galloping through Wang Kang's heart. I can't be this unlucky, can I?
Please don't let him be the chairman...
He quickly opened the official website, looked at the photo, then looked at Li Wen standing before him.
Great... the heart that had been hanging in suspense finally died.
Chen Xiao: "So? Did you compare them?"
"Uh... he is the chairman."
Thud~
The sound of another chair overturning came from the other end of the phone.
Chen Xiao's voice was tense and curious. "Why did he ask you to call?"
Wang Kang could no longer hold himself together. His voice even carried a sob. "Wuwuwu... brother-in-law, I might be screwed. I thoroughly offended his nephew. Brother-in-law, he's here to settle the score with me."
The other end of the phone fell silent for a moment.
"Brother-in-law, what should I do?"
"Brother-in-law... brother-in-law?"
"Haha~ It's all a minor matter. By the way, what did you say just now?"
"Brother-in-law, what should I do? I only got into the company through your connections. You have to protect me."
"Who the hell is your brother-in-law? I was just about to get a divorce."
Beep beep beep~
The cold busy tone followed immediately.
Clearly, Wang Kang's sky had completely collapsed.
But he still had to face what was coming. He looked at Li Wen with a mournful expression.
"Chairman, I didn't know it was you."
"What a coincidence. I didn't know it was you either."
"..."
"Chairman, if I say I didn't do it on purpose, will you believe me? I apologize to you and your nephew."
"I didn't send that lawyer's letter on purpose either. Will you believe me?"
Thud~
Wang Kang could not hold himself up any longer and collapsed completely onto the floor.
If the chairman of the Furun Group wanted to investigate an employee, it would be far too easy.
Over the past few years, he had used the company's name to take bribes and kickbacks and stir up trouble.
If it really went to court, he would be spending the rest of his life in prison.
President Wang instantly became Prisoner Wang.
"President Wang, are you all right?" The supermarket owner hurried forward to comfort him.
"Fuck you!"
Unable to restrain himself, Wang Kang slapped him hard across the face.
"Didn't you say he was just a poor student? Have you ever seen a poor student whose uncle is the chairman?"
The supermarket owner looked aggrieved. "How was I supposed to know he was so good at pretending?
"What normal person has such an awesome background yet goes to sell instant noodles? Is he crazy or what?"
Everyone present was completely dumbfounded. They looked at Xu Yi with strange expressions.
With such a powerful background, why didn't you bring it out sooner?
Other people pretend to be rich, but you pretend to be poor? What kind of hobby is that?
You even hate capital. Buddy, you are the biggest capitalist of all!
At that moment, the confusion in Xu Yi's eyes finally cleared somewhat. "Are you... Uncle Li?"
"Yes, yes! It's me!" Li Wen was overjoyed.
"My father said that if I ever had trouble, I could come to you because you were his best friend. I thought my father was lying before."
Guilt Points +100
Xu Yi could not help raising an eyebrow.
Looks like Li Wen really considered my father his best friend.
"Xiao Yi, would you be satisfied if Uncle Li sent Wang Kang to prison?"
Xu Yi nodded. "Satisfied."
"But... my instant-noodle stall has still been canceled."
Zhang Quan broke into a cold sweat. "No! Actually, Wang Kang coerced and bribed me. You can take over the cafeteria stall however you like. You can have all of them if you want."
Xu Yi shook his head. "I only want my original instant-noodle stall. I can't afford to rent the others anyway. Selling instant noodles is already enough to keep me fed."
Guilt Points +200
"Don't say anything else, Xiao Yi. This was all Uncle Li's fault! You don't have to keep selling instant noodles either..."
"Hm?"
"The school supermarket belongs to the Furun Group. We'll take it back for you now. From now on, you'll manage the supermarket. All the profits will be yours, and you won't need to pay the costs."
Everyone was filled with envy when they heard this. Isn't this basically giving him money for free?
Unexpectedly, Xu Yi shook his head. "But my academic workload has been rather heavy lately... I won't be able to take care of the supermarket."
Li Wen smacked his forehead in frustration. "I didn't think this through. Then I'll find a few managers for you, and you can be the hands-off owner. Who should I choose?"
The supermarket owner and the others looked at him expectantly, barely short of raising their hands.
Wang Kang had fallen, but that did not matter. Working for anyone was still working.
Managing a supermarket was a lucrative job.
Li Wen pointed at them, and their hearts leaped with joy.
"Get the hell out of here!"
