Chapter 805 - 774: Han Shangyuan
Liang Wenjing said, "These are your recent transfer records, you’ve got quite an income."
Chen Jianxin replied, "That’s right, I’ve made some investments with classmates. Your career is so successful, I want to improve myself too, don’t want others to say I’m only relying on you."
Liang Wenjing asked, "What kind of investment is it, making such good money? Why didn’t you invite me?"
Chen Jianxin laughed and said, "President Liang wouldn’t be interested in small businesses like this."
Liang Wenjing responded, "There’s no such thing as secrecy unless you don’t do it, Chen Jianxin. You could’ve had a great future, if you needed money, you could’ve told me. Why engage in shady dealings?"
"What are you talking about? I don’t understand."
Liang Wenjing said, "Stop pretending, you weren’t at some reunion, you went to Jingfu Building to meet people from Mingde Group."
"You were following me?"
Liang Wenjing scoffed with a laugh, "You think you qualify?"
Chen Jianxin felt as if a whip had lashed his soul. He looked at this woman, who once appeared to him as unreachable, yet ultimately ended up beneath him. Disdain me? What right do you have to disdain me?
Chen Jianxin said, "Are you suspecting me?"
Liang Wenjing replied, "You know what you’ve done. Everything leaves traces, I’ve already traced every penny in your accounts."
In reality, Liang Wenjing couldn’t possibly have investigated everything in such a short time, but there’s no harm in deceit. She’s experienced in business, while Chen Jianxin is still too green.
Chen Jianxin believed it, shouting in anger, "So what if you found out? Can’t I have my own things? Can’t I do business with others? I’m an individual, I’m not your appendage, and certainly not your pet!"
Liang Wenjing took a drag on her cigarette, looked at Chen Jianxin and said, "Don’t insult the word ’pet.’ In my eyes, you’re nowhere near my Genie."
Genie is the dog she keeps.
Chen Jianxin was deeply provoked, pointing at Liang Wenjing and said, "I knew it, you’ve never respected me. You don’t have feelings for me. You only engaged with me to get back at your husband."
Liang Wenjing replied, "So what if it’s true? What have you done to earn my respect? How could I have feelings for someone like you?"
Chen Jianxin roared, "Fine, I’ll just consider it as fooling around with a female dog!"
Liang Wenjing frowned slightly, "Chen Jianxin, I don’t care about money, but some lines can’t be crossed. You’ve exploited my trust, stealing Enheng’s trade secrets to sell to Mingde Group. Your actions involve commercial crime. If I decide to sue you, you’ll end up rotting in jail."
Chen Jianxin sneered, "Go ahead and sue me, as long as you’re not afraid I’ll reveal our secrets in court. You go on and sue! Let’s see who ends up behind bars and who ends up disgraced, shamed by everyone."
Liang Wenjing nodded, "Kneel!"
Chen Jianxin shook his head, believing he now has the means to confront Liang Wenjing: "Bitch, you should be the one kneeling. Kneel and lift your skirt for me!"
Liang Wenjing sighed, "How could I possibly trust someone who would sell out even his girlfriend? You’re from a poor family, lost your parents in elementary school. Your sister sacrificed herself to raise you and your younger sister, providing for your education. You, brother and sister, managed to enter the city and get jobs. You’re their pride."
Chen Jianxin clenched his teeth, realizing how little he truly has to challenge Liang Wenjing.
Liang Wenjing said, "I can assure you that if you dare to spread our affairs, you’ll live to see your sister and younger sister’s tragic fate, along with their families. If you can be bought for money, others can too."
Chen Jianxin clenched his fists, filled with criminal urges. Both Liang Wenjing and Sheng Chaohui are demons; Sheng took his lover, and Liang Wenjing is trampling on his dignity.
The thing he cares most about is his sister and younger sister. If anyone dared to harm them, he’d risk everything, even his life.
Liang Wenjing saw what Chen Jianxin was thinking, yet she wasn’t afraid in the slightest and continued to look at him disdainfully.
Chen Jianxin finally rushed at her, "Bitch!"
A flash of white filled his vision as Liang Wenjing slapped him hard, leaving Chen Jianxin seeing stars. Before he could come to his senses, Liang Wenjing viciously kicked him in the groin.
Chen Jianxin groaned and fell to the ground on his knees, his hair grasped by Liang Wenjing, who looked down at him. Few really understand her; she and Sheng Chaohui bonded over martial arts — never underestimate a woman’s fighting prowess.
Liang Wenjing quietly said, "You’re fired."
Chen Jianxin saw her fist magnified before his eyes.
The boss lady of Wangjing Han Shangyuan Barbecue Restaurant, Jin Xin Hui, was Che Shixiong’s lover. Che Shixiong would often come to help at the restaurant when he wasn’t busy; he also has investments there.
Today, business was a bit slow, and it started to rain outside. As Che Shixiong suggested closing up early, someone walked in from outside.
Jin Xin Hui went out to welcome the guest, while Che Shixiong was taken aback to see that it was Xu Chunliang who had come in.
He believed Xu Chunliang wouldn’t just happen upon this place; he must have come prepared.
Jin Xin Hui warmly invited Xu Chunliang into the restaurant. Che Shixiong approached and said, "Sorry, but we’re closing!"
Jin Xin Hui looked at Che Shixiong in some surprise, "What are you saying? A customer has arrived, don’t interrupt my business."
Xu Chunliang said with a smile, "The boss lady is really beautiful. I heard the barbecue here is delicious, so I came expressly. It would be a shame if you’re closing."
Jin Xin Hui replied, "Please come in, please come in!"
Che Shixiong shot Xu Chunliang a fierce look, his gaze like two sharp knives.
Jin Xin Hui asked him to pour tea for the guests and handed the menu to Xu Chunliang.
Xu Chunliang flipped through the menu, ordered some grilled meats, and when Jin Xin Hui went to prepare them, Che Shixiong came over with tea and rudely slammed the teacup on the table.
Xu Chunliang said, "What’s your attitude?"
Che Shixiong lowered his voice and said, "If you’re smart, you’ll leave quickly, instead of waiting for me to throw you out."
Xu Chunliang laughed, "You seem to have forgotten whose territory this is? Get lost! Don’t ruin my appetite."
Jin Xin Hui served the dishes; she clearly didn’t know Xu Chunliang and Che Shixiong knew each other and enthusiastically introduced the way to eat the grilled meat to Xu Chunliang. Xu Chunliang pointed at Che Shixiong and said, "If you don’t mind, let this gentleman grill for me."
Jin Xin Hui said, "I don’t mind, of course I don’t mind."
Though Che Shixiong was fuming inside, he didn’t show it in front of Jin Xin Hui. He smiled at her and said, "Xinhui, you go ahead and be busy, leave this to me. I’ll serve this guest throughout."
Jin Xin Hui had a lot of things to do in the kitchen, she bowed and said, "Then it’s hard work."
Che Shixiong watched Jin Xin Hui leave, placed a few slices of pork belly on the grill, still staring at Xu Chunliang. Xu Chunliang said, "I heard people from your country can’t afford beef, so they have to make do with pork belly?"
Che Shixiong said, "Not as rich as your big country with vast land and abundant resources."
The pork belly on the grill sizzled.
Xu Chunliang said, "Looks good, smells nice, where’s this pork from?"
Che Shixiong said, "Domestic, your country has a lot of pigs!"
Xu Chunliang nodded and said, "Forgot that your local specialty is Korea."
Che Shixiong, with tongs in one hand and scissors in the other, stared at Xu Chunliang’s neck, as if he might stab his throat with the scissors at any moment.
Xu Chunliang didn’t take Che Shixiong seriously at all, opened a bottle of Hannashan soju, poured a glass, tasted the soju, ate a piece of grilled meat: "Not bad! You don’t look too smart, but your grilling skills aren’t bad."
Che Shixiong said, "You picked the wrong place to start trouble."
Xu Chunliang said, "I’m not here to cause trouble, I’m here to find Lu Taiyin."
At this moment, Jin Xin Hui came over with dishes, smiled at Xu Chunliang and said, "How do you find the taste, sir?"
Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Not bad, and I’m having a pleasant chat with this big fellow."
Jin Xin Hui smiled, "His name is Che Shixiong, he’s also a shareholder here."
Xu Chunliang said, "I apologize, didn’t realize you’re the owner."
Jin Xin Hui placed a serving of lettuce and perilla leaves down, indicated to Xu Chunliang that he could wrap the grilled meat with them, said a few words and left, before leaving she specifically instructed Che Shixiong to take good care of the guests.
Xu Chunliang looked at the back of Jin Xin Hui and said, "The lady boss treats you well."
Che Shixiong said, "What’s it to you?"
Xu Chunliang glanced at the tall and burly Che Shixiong, this guy’s height is nearly two meters, probably Huang Youlong’s strongest fighter.
"Where’s Lu Taiyin?"
Che Shixiong placed the grilled Korean sausages on his plate, "Once you’re full, get out quickly, otherwise I’ll be impolite."
Xu Chunliang said, "Are you good at fighting?"
Che Shixiong looked coldly at Xu Chunliang, "No problem dealing with someone like you."
Xu Chunliang nodded, "How about we spar a bit after I finish eating?"
Che Shixiong said, "Overestimating yourself."
Xu Chunliang said, "I’ll take that as a yes." He wrapped a piece of pork belly in perilla leaves, surprisingly it tasted good.
Che Shixiong said toward the kitchen direction, "Xinhui, you can go back first, I’ll take care of this guest."
Jin Xin Hui probably had things to do in the evening, she packed up simply, left early, and before leaving specifically expressed her apologies to Xu Chunliang.
After Jin Xin Hui left, Che Shixiong put the tongs aside, glared at Xu Chunliang and said, "Let’s go, find a place."
Xu Chunliang said, "Don’t rush, let’s handle one thing at a time, I need to finish eating first, keep grilling for me."
Che Shixiong glared at Xu Chunliang.
This sentence really worked, Jin Xin Hui was Che Shixiong’s soft spot, he could only obediently continue grilling.
Xu Chunliang said, "Looks like you’re not earning much, Huang Youlong doesn’t treat you well either."
Che Shixiong placed the grilled pork belly slices in front of Xu Chunliang’s plate, "There’s an unfinished building behind, we can go there later."
Xu Chunliang said, "You should eat some too, better be full when you get beaten."
