"What can you not tolerate?" Miss Fang exclaimed, her brow furrowed. "You can't tolerate Qian Cun Jin either! He is one rank above you! He is your superior!"
I could feel her fierce demeanor; she was quite spirited. But I was even more assertive, more unyielding in my stance. His son was trying to take my woman, Miss Fang! Which man could endure such a thing? If Miss Fang thinks that the men of Tian Ye Gang should just accept this kind of humiliation, then I can't help it. If you say to dismiss me, then dismiss me! If you say to whip me, then whip me! If Tian Ye Gang truly operates this way, then I ask you, which subordinate would willingly follow such a leader?
I pointed at Qian Cun Jin and spoke loudly. "It's sheer tyranny!"
Miss Fang was momentarily taken aback, then frowned and turned to Qian Cun Jin, asking, "Is there such a thing?"
"That’s not the case!" Qian Cun Jin replied immediately. "Although my son is not capable, he knows better than to steal someone else's woman. It's impossible."
Hearing this made me laugh out loud. "Impossible? Qian Duo, you really know how to joke! You know very well that your useless son loves to stir up trouble and yet you sent skilled people to follow him day and night. How could you not know what kind of person he is? Otherwise, why would I have gotten into a fight with him?"
I continued, looking at Miss Fang. "Miss Fang, if you don't believe me, we can investigate. There were plenty of eyewitnesses that night. Tell me, as a proud man, should I just stand by and watch while he takes my girlfriend and humiliates her?"
Miss Fang frowned deeply.
In her heart, Miss Fang had already made a decision about the truth of this matter. After all, as I said, there were many eyewitnesses that night; many people saw it happen. With the power of Tian Ye Gang, investigating this would be easy. Given the circumstances, how could I dare to lie?
"Qian Duo," I pressed on, "strong-arming women while providing your son with top-notch protection? What if one day your son mistakenly tries to take the girlfriend of the Prime Minister's son? Would you also go knocking on the Prime Minister's door?"
Miss Fang turned to Qian Cun Jin and asked coldly.
Qian Cun Jin was left dumbfounded!
I smiled with satisfaction.
Miss Fang made a valid point; his son was running rampant under the protection of Tian Ye Gang's name. In these peaceful times, it's best for us to prosper steadily. If such people increase in number, they will inevitably disrupt the peace of Tian Ye Gang and bring trouble.
I fanned the flames further; Qian Cun Jin's face turned pale. "What I said makes sense! Why don't you refute it? Go ahead and refute it!"
"Miss Fang," Qian Cun Jin stammered, "that won't happen! I know my son well; he wouldn't do anything too outrageous. To be honest, I'm not very clear about this incident. My son shouldn't have stolen his woman."
He said this immediately.
I laughed and continued speaking.
"Qian Duo is quite a father indeed—charging in without understanding the situation? A troublesome son and a troublesome father; oh dear, I'm truly at my wit's end."
I sneered. "Isn't that right? You know nothing yet you come knocking on doors! What else could you be but troublesome?"
"You! You! Shut up!"
Qian Cun Jin was about to lose his temper, pointing at me but unable to say anything useful in return; he couldn't refute my words!
"I'll take a break; you take care of yourself."
I smiled calmly; I had already set the rhythm of the conversation. Whether I spoke or remained silent no longer mattered.
Qian Duo, if this is the case, then we cannot handle it in the way I previously promised you.
Miss Fang looked at Qian Cun Jin, her eyes filled with disdain.
Qian Cun Jin was taken aback, his expression troubled. He certainly did not want to let this go so easily, but now he couldn't press Miss Fang for more without provoking her further.
"Xiang Dong, I understand your situation. Now, I will call the General Manager to ask how to handle this. You have no objections, right?"
Miss Fang turned to me, seeking my opinion. Her inquiry indicated a level of respect towards me! Perhaps my assertiveness had earned her admiration.
"Of course, no objections," I replied calmly. With Miss Fang as the reporter standing on my side, what could I possibly disagree about?
"Just wait," Miss Fang said as she took out her phone and stepped aside to report the situation. Qian Cun Jin gritted his teeth and glared at me. After suffering such a significant loss, he must have been seething with hatred towards me.
I chose not to look at him. Instead, I focused on Miss Fang's figure; she was quite an eye-catcher. I couldn't help but wonder about her true identity. Was she the General Manager's secretary? Or perhaps his woman? Or maybe both?
Miss Fang spoke with the General Manager for over ten minutes. It was clear that this matter needed to be addressed; we couldn't allow the prevailing atmosphere of bullying and intimidation to continue unchecked. My own misconduct would not contribute to that either.
Given the current situation, I suspected that the General Manager would punish both sides and then let it drop. Following that, Chen Ming and Qian Cun Jin would likely team up against me.
Due to the explicit regulations of Tian Ye Gang prohibiting harm within the organization, although they were two major factions, they could only resort to some underhanded tactics if they wanted to harm me.
The General Manager had given instructions: Xiang Dong's assault on the faction was serious due to Qian Duo's identity being unknown and the severity of the incident. He should be expelled and receive a whipping as punishment. However, considering the circumstances, Xiang Dong would be fined all personal earnings from his affiliated companies for one year and would also bear all medical expenses for Qian Duo's son, Qian Peng.
Miss Fang looked at me slowly as she relayed this information. After hearing it, I nodded with a smile. A fine? All earnings for a year? That would amount to tens of millions! It didn't really matter; it was no big deal.
And as for Qian Duo's son attempting to steal our Tian Ye Gang's regional boss's girlfriend? The nature of that incident was equally severe! Additional penalties were warranted; since Xiang Dong had already broken one of Qian Duo's son's legs and left him in such a state, it served as a lesson for Qian Duo. Therefore, he too would face a year-long penalty of surrendering all personal earnings from his affiliated companies; any hint of kickbacks would result in expulsion and whipping!
Miss Fang coldly addressed Qian Duo, who wore a bitter expression. "I am just the boss of Kyoto South District; how much do you think my earnings are in a year? He is the boss of all of He Bei! How much does he earn?"
Although the penalties were similar, it was evident that his consequences were far more severe than mine.
"And all fines collected from you will be distributed as bonuses to those who have contributed to the company over this year. You have no objections to that, right?" Miss Fang asked me and Qian Cun Jin.
"That's fair!"
The handling seemed appropriate; after all, our current boss needed to maintain stability among his subordinates. By fining us and then winning back some goodwill from others, who could argue against his decision? Everyone would have to accept it wholeheartedly!
"I have no objections," I immediately replied before turning to Zheng Yu beside me. "Brother, go get a bag of money from our company for Qian Duo; we should indeed cover his medical expenses."
Zheng Yu nodded in response and turned to enter the company to get the money. At that moment, Qian Cun Jin spoke up.
"Miss Fang, when I arrived just now, I knocked on his door, and he extorted three million from me!" Qian Cun Jin complained, clearly hoping to reclaim that three million.
"Qian Duo! I don't want to blame you for this, but after all, Xiang Dong is one of us in Tian Ye Gang. How could you, a dignified leader, let someone beat you and then extort money from you? Are you really going to let this slide? Have you no shame?"
Miss Fang's words made Qian Cun Jin's face flush with embarrassment. He had nothing to say in response.
Qian Cun Jin felt wronged as well. "He only dared to do this because I'm part of Tian Ye Gang and because of our strict rules! Otherwise, he would have brought people to deal with me long ago!"
"Indeed, Qian Duo, as a man of Tian Ye Gang, you should..." I laughed and added, "Damn it! I'm going to make you furious!"
"Shut up! Just wait!" Qian Cun Jin gritted his teeth. I chuckled at the sight of the old man fuming; it gave me an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. Perhaps this was what they called schadenfreude! Ha!
Dong Ge.
Zheng Yu emerged from the company with a bag full of cash, probably just a few hundred thousand.
"Here, Qian Duo. This money should be enough for your young master’s medical treatment. Take it." I handed the money to Qian Cun Jin, who looked at it with a gloomy expression. He seemed embarrassed to take it but didn't know how to refuse.
"Just take it; this is what the general manager instructed. Hurry up and don’t be polite with me."
I smiled as Miss Fang coldly observed from the side and remarked, "I've never seen such a stingy old man. I really wonder how you became a leader!"
After saying that, Miss Fang turned and got into her Ferrari, ignoring us completely! More accurately, she was unwilling to acknowledge Qian Cun Jin.
Qian Cun Jin's face shifted between green and purple with rage. He snatched the bag from my hands and threatened me through gritted teeth, "Xiang Dong! I'll remember this! You better watch yourself!"
"Sure, just go ahead. Don’t worry about me; I’ll live happily," I replied with a warm smile that felt like spring sunshine as I watched the furious Qian Cun Jin leave alongside Chen Ming, who had been playing ostrich throughout the ordeal.
As they walked away, I couldn't help but sneer. Two old geezers!
