"He’s from Zhengdong Group? That’s a dangerous one to provoke!"
"This kid doesn’t look like he has much going for him. Trying to steal someone else’s woman, isn’t that suicide?"
The restaurant was filled with patrons, and this kind of affair, which resembled a cheating scenario, immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Hearing that Dong Yi was a project manager at Zhengdong Real Estate, everyone became leery.
On the other hand, while Su Chengyu was undeniably handsome, his attire was plain. These days, what counts is both talent and wealth.
"Brother Yu, he’s being too arrogant. You have to show him some color, or he’ll really look down on you."
Cheng Xiaoyun, standing by Su Chengyu’s side and holding his hand, acted like a girlfriend fawning over her boyfriend.
Su Chengyu looked sideways at Cheng Xiaoyun without saying a word, but Dong Yi couldn’t stand it.
"You son of a bitch, dare to steal my woman! You’re asking for death!"
Dong Yi picked up a bottle of red wine from the table and aimed it at Su Chengyu’s head.
Cheng Xiaoyun, having witnessed Su Chengyu’s abilities, knew that even Pan Hongji was no match for Su Chengyu. How could someone as ordinary as Dong Yi harm even a single hair on his head?
Cheng Xiaoyun remained fearless at Su Chengyu’s side.
Indeed, Su Chengyu didn’t use his hands, but his foot instead. Before the bottle in Dong Yi’s hand could hit him, Su Chengyu delivered a kick to his knee. Dong Yi fell flat on his face right in front of Su Chengyu, in utter disgrace.
"Ah, it hurts like hell! How dare you dodge? I’m not letting you leave this building today!"
Dong Yi was burning with rage; ready to rise from the ground and make a phone call, but Su Chengyu stepped on his back, preventing him from moving.
"Let go of me! You son of a bitch, just you wait! If I don’t make a mess of you, my family name ain’t Dong!"
Dong Yi was pounding the ground in fury.
"I wasn’t originally interested in arguing with someone like you, but you seem to enjoy causing trouble for yourself. I’ll fulfill your desire and give you a taste of your own medicine."
"Who are you scaring? If you have guts, let me go!" Dong Yi continued to bellow.
Su Chengyu pulled out his phone to call Lin Huanfeng, asking, "Huan Feng, who in your family is in charge of Zhengdong Real Estate?"
"Brother Yu, Zhengdong Real Estate is overseen by my uncle." Lin Huanfeng answered.
"Tell Lin Zhihua that a project manager named Dong Yi from his company has gotten on my nerves. How he deals with it is up to him!"
After Su Chengyu hung up the phone, Lin Zhengxun next to him asked, "What was Mr. Su’s call about?"
"Brother Yu said a project manager from Zhengdong Real Estate has upset him, and he wants us to handle it ourselves." Lin Huanfeng relayed truthfully.
"What?! That damned fellow actually dared to provoke Mr. Su. Call your uncle immediately. This person must be punished severely, and we must give Mr. Su a satisfactory explanation."
Lin Zhengxun instantly rose to his feet. Nowadays, whatever concerns Su Chengyu was of utmost importance to Lin Zhengxun.
In the restaurant, Dong Yi heard Su Chengyu’s phone call and sneered.
"You really should consider acting. The fake phone call was quite the performance, but your acting is too fake and exaggerated. You think I’d believe you could directly order around our Boss Lin from Zhengdong Real Estate? Hilarious!"
Dong Yi didn’t believefor a second that Su Chengyu had the power to order Lin Zhihua around.
"Could this kid actually have some powerful backing? The way he spoke on the phone, he seemed to have no regard for Lin Zhihua at all."
"Anyone can boast, right? If he really had such a status, why would he be dressed so shabbily?"
"Exactly! Lin Zhihua, who is likely to be the Lin family’s future heir, has such an important status. How could this kid possibly know him?"
Those around them, engrossed in the drama, all couldn’t believe it. They discussed it amongst themselves, expecting Su Chengyu to be made a laughing stock.
Then, Dong Yi’s phone rang. Su Chengyu removed his foot, allowing Dong Yi to get up and answer his phone, while threatening Su Chengyu, "Just you wait!"
Without looking at the caller ID, Dong Yi answered the phone, "Hello, who’s this?"
"Dong Yi! You have a lot of guts to offend Mr. Su. Are you tired of living?" Lin Zhihua roared on the phone.
"Boss ... Boss Lin, what’s going on?" Dong Yi was stupified by Lin Zhihua’s fury, struggling to comprehend the situation.
"Starting now, you are fired from the company! Furthermore, I’ve received an anonymous tip that, during your tenure, you embezzled company funds and received bribes. You’re going to jail!"
After his tirade, Lin Zhihua hung up the phone. Finally understanding what had transpired, Dong Yi’s face fell as he collapsed onto the ground.
"It’s over! It’s all over!"
As a project manager at Zhengdong Real Estate, accepting kickbacks was the norm. Lin Zhihua turned a blind eye to it under normal circumstances.
Reaching this position wasn’t easy; he was considered part of the company’s upper management. People had to be allowed to make some extra money, so they’d remain loyal followers. This was also a method for Lin Zhihua to control his subordinates!
But now that they had a fall out, Lin Zhihua would show no mercy. All the benefits Dong Yi had taken would become evidence of his crimes!
"Dong Yi, do you understand now how powerful my boyfriend is? Let’s see if you dare to harass me again!"
Cheng Xiaoyun’s face fell, giving her a perverse pleasure in taking revenge on Dong Yi.
"Damn! So, this kid wasn’t just bragging?"
"Who is this guy? How did he manage to settle the matter with one phone call? He’s certainly not simple!"
Those who had previously mocked Su Chengyu now felt their faces heating up in embarrassment. They were all taken aback.
Dong Yi quickly knelt in front of Su Chengyu, hugging his feet and pleading, "Mr. Su, I was wrong! I’ve been blind not to have realized who you are. Cheng Xiaoyun is yours. I won’t bother her again. Please spare me, sir. I don’t want to lose my job or go to jail!"
"Let go! This is what you brought upon yourself." Su Chengyu coldly replied.
"Mr. Su, I was wrong. I truly repent! I have elders to take care of and children to raise, I can’t afford to have problems. Whatever way you want to beat me or scold me is fine, just spare me, please!"
While Dong Yi was knocking his head on the ground and slapping himself, he soon had a bleeding forehead and a bloody mouth.
"Elders and children? Who are you trying to fool? Don’t I know you? You deserve this; it’s your own doing!"
Cheng Xiaoyun unceremoniously exposed Dong Yi’s lies, then turned to pull Su Chengyu, saying, "Brother Yu, let’s go. Ignore him."
As Su Chengyu and Cheng Xiaoyun left, Dong Yi tried begging for mercy to no avail. He decided to take drastic measures, picked up a half bottle of wine and said, "If I’m going to die, none of you are going to live!"
Without turning around, Su Chengyu raised his hand and flung the violently approaching Dong Yi away, causing him to pass out. What he would be facing next was indeed imprisonment!
