Zhang Yu: There's a Limit to Pretending to Be Poor

The five people in front of him were stunned by this operation.

Are people so self-aware nowadays?

Causing trouble and then proactively confessing your last words.

Lu Wei shot a reproachful glance at the four women. Did you bully the honest person again?

Society is so full of hostility these days.

If you really encounter a ruthless person who's willing to take four down with them, you'll regret it.

Lu Wei cleared his throat. In front of the four women, he couldn't miss any opportunity to show off.

"Little brother, even though you've proactively said your last words to your family, you won't be spared the punishment you deserve."

Xu Yi shot him a look. Who asked you?

[Negative Emotion Points +50]

What the hell? He's looking down on me... Kill him!

Receiving the order, the security guards lunged at Xu Yi like hungry tigers.

Even though they were at the bottom of society, they loved bullying those even lower than them.

Working as security guards during the day, blocking delivery drivers. Being delivery drivers at night, cursing at security guards.

This was their life.

"Stop!" a roar came from outside the door.

Yu Shu walked in with a look of shock. He carefully examined Xu Yi from head to toe, and breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed Xu Yi was unharmed.

After discussions above, it had been decided to promote him further. He was currently in a probationary period.

Logically, with his current abilities, he had no hope at all.

Retiring peacefully would be considered good.

It could be said that Xu Yi was his benefactor.

But if anything happened to Xu Yi, not only would he have no chance of entering the department, but his conscience would also be severely burdened.

"Uncle Yu, why are you here?"

"Are you okay? Did they hit you? Were you scared?"

[Negative Emotion Points +50*4]

Zhang Yu: You should be asking us that question.

Seeing Yu Shu wearing an administrative jacket, she couldn't help but ask warily, "Who are you?"

"Brother Wei, he's just this poor kid's uncle, so he must be poor too. Why bother asking?"

Stupid woman, administrative jacket, thermos… do you know the value of these two things?

Yu Shu looked at them coldly. "Hitting people is against the law, do you know that?"

"Old man, hurry up and get lost. This doesn't concern you. Otherwise, we'll beat you too." another female white-collar worker blurted out.

"Heh heh~ I'd like to see if you dare."

"Wearing a cheap jacket, and you think you're an official?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Shu's assistant proactively produced his ID.

"I am the Director of the Port City Education Bureau. Are you sure you dare to hit me?"

Just then, the TV on the wall played a video of Yu Shu inspecting and visiting various schools.

The face on the screen perfectly matched the Yu Shu in front of them.

[Shock Points +100*5]

The crowd was completely dumbfounded.

The security guards unconsciously took a few steps back. This was a high-ranking official!

They couldn't afford to offend him...

Lu Wei turned his head and looked at Zhang Yu angrily, displeased. "What were you thinking? You bullied the Director's nephew?"

Zhang Yu retreated a few steps, flustered. "I, I didn't know! I thought he was just some cheap ride-hailing driver."

[Negative Emotion Points +200]

Zhang Yu glared resentfully at Xu Yi. What were you thinking? Your uncle is the Director, and you're still driving a ride-hailing car?

I know of a department head, and even the dog in his village became a police dog.

Lu Wei, abandoning his previous arrogant demeanor, obsequiously offered Yu Shu a cigarette, poured him tea, and water... but all were coldly refused.

Lu Wei: "Oh, Director, it was all a misunderstanding. Since he's your nephew, I won't pursue it. As long as he compensates for the store's losses."

Yu Shu remained silent, instead handing the decision-making power to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi sneered. "Compensate your mother!"

"It's your own fault for crashing into us, and you still want compensation? Hurry up and pay me the 1150."

[Negative Emotion Points +200]

Lu Wei's face was extremely ugly, especially being scolded in front of the four women, which made him feel like he had lost all face.

"Aren't you going too far?

Even if your uncle is the director, you can't be this arrogant!

Director, if you abuse your privilege in broad daylight, don't blame me for reporting you."

Yu Shu's expression flickered slightly, but he remained silent, leaving everything to Xu Yi's decision.

Xu Yi didn't hold back, slapping him on the forehead. "Are you sure you're not going to pay me the 1150?"

"No! And you owe our shop a large sum in compensation, plus their emotional distress damages.

So what if you're the director? We common folk aren't made of clay."

Seeing his righteous indignation, Xu Yi almost wanted to applaud him.

Kid, you think you've cornered the moral high ground.

But you're too naive if you think that's all the connections I have.

I hope you can still maintain this unyielding attitude later.

The atmosphere fell into a stalemate, and Yu Shu looked somewhat troubled.

Lu Wei was right; his position was a convenience, but also a restriction.

There were people watching his every move.

Even picking his nose without doing it from the left side could get him reported.

Lu Wei: "How about this, we both take a step back. You compensate our shop for the losses, and I'll give you the 1150."

"Are you dreaming?"

Xu Yi laughed.

These losses would cost at least tens of thousands to compensate. You want to get all the good stuff? Is that fair?

"So, no negotiation then?"

"No compensation."

"Today, out of respect for the Director, I won't touch you. We will be filing a lawsuit.

Our company is based in Magic City, are you sure you dare to offend us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another person appeared at the entrance.

Just like Yu Shu's reaction, he first scanned Xu Yi's body carefully.

Only after confirming he was unharmed did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Wen wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Director, thank you."

"Xiao Yi, Uncle Li is late. Fortunately, nothing serious happened, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain to Brother Fan."

"It's okay, Uncle Li. I just missed my father too much just now."

[Guilt Points +100]

"You've been wronged, Uncle Li will stand up for you."

Li Wen turned around and faced them.

His presence exuded an aura of authority once more.

"What exactly happened here? Who bullied my nephew?"

[Negative Emotion Points +50 * 5]

Zhang Yu was so angry she wanted to curse. Who exactly is bullying whom?

Can't they see that huge car parked inside the house?

My legs are still trembling.

But despite her internal complaints, she meekly hid behind Lu Wei.

Lu Wei narrowed his eyes. "And who are you?"

"I'm his uncle."

Zhang Yu: "Brother Wei, don't mind him. He's just an uncle who's a director, otherwise, he wouldn't be driving a ride-hailing car."

"My name is Li Wen, Chairman of Furun Group. My nephew will be the next chairman. It's on the official website, you can check it."

[Shock Points +200 * 5]

Slap~

A crisp slapping sound echoed.

Lu Wei's ruthless hand struck Zhang Yu.

"I've told you so many times, don't call me 'Wei Ge'! It sounds so awful..."

"Wei Ge, I..."

Slap~

"You're still calling me that!"

[Negative Emotion Points +100]

Zhang Yu shot Xu Yi another resentful glare.

Your uncle is the Chairman of Furun Group, so why are you driving a ride-share car?

Are you sick in the head or something?

There's a limit to pretending to be poor!

Lu Wei's hands went numb, and then the rest of him followed.

He deeply regretted getting involved in this mess. He had thought they were dealing with some poor kid, but it turned out their backgrounds were more incredible than the last. In front of the Chairman of Furun Group, he was less than nothing.
