Chapter 2714 - 2716: Did You Mess with the Wrong Person?
There were a few more people following behind Liu Yan.
There was no way this could be a mistake.
No matter how this old guy managed to come back to life.
He absolutely couldn’t afford to slight him.
Grinning obsequiously, he walked over. "President Liu, how do you have time to come inspect our branch in person?"
"If I hadn’t come, I would’ve been screwed by you, damn it!"
Liu Yan shot Aguang a cold look and said, "I’ll settle accounts with you later."
Then he walked toward Xiao Chen with great respect.
Right now, Zhou Li was standing quite far away and hadn’t heard their conversation.
She also recognized Liu Yan.
Although she had no idea how Liu Yan hadn’t died.
He was definitely here to back her up.
After all, Aguang was a junior Liu Yan really valued.
She looked at Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng with a squinty smile. "You’re done for. See that? Even the boss of our Liu Group came personally.
Now do you see how much face my husband has?"
After saying that, she deliberately walked toward Liu Yan, trying to get chummy. "President Liu, we were just teaching a lesson to two punks who don’t know their place.
They actually dared to come make trouble at our company."
"Get lost!"
But Liu Yan directly shoved Zhou Li aside with one hand.
He came up to Xiao Chen, bent over, and said, "Mr. Xiao, if you’re doing business with Liu Group, you could have just come to me.
As long as you say the word.
Don’t say one patent— even if it’s all our patents, we’ll authorize them for you!"
Everyone present was stunned by these words.
Zhou Li was dumbfounded!
Aguang was dumbfounded!
The deputy manager was dumbfounded!
Even Jiang Meng was dumbfounded!
She was finding her own husband more and more impossible to figure out.
How did he end up connected with the boss of Liu Group?
And this President Liu Yan seemed to be treating Xiao Chen with extreme respect, as if he was terrified of offending him.
"Crap, how does this guy know Liu Yan?
Isn’t he just a rideshare driver?"
Zhou Li’s face turned green from fright.
Xiao Chen glanced at Liu Yan and said, "Looks like you’ve recovered pretty well.
The people who were tailing me today, that was on your orders, right?
Don’t have them follow me anymore.
I don’t like it."
"I’ve offended you, Mr. Xiao, please forgive me."
Liu Yan jumped in shock. He’d secretly sent people to tail Xiao Chen.
It was actually so he could help Xiao Chen at any time.
That way he could curry favor with Xiao Chen.
Otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to show up so fast today.
He just hadn’t expected those people to actually be discovered by Xiao Chen.
Those were experts— being discovered like that was simply unimaginable.
"Alright, it’s just a small thing.
But this whole patent issue today really pissed me off.
Your company charges a million a year for licensing, yet you tried to charge my wife a hundred million.
You don’t happen to think my consultation fee was too high, so you decided to rip me off on purpose, do you?"
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare."
Liu Yan glanced at Zhou Li and Aguang. "It was these two bastards stirring up trouble on purpose.
Starting today, you’re both fired.
Get out!"
"President Liu, give me a chance, I was wrong!"
Aguang was terrified.
He dropped to his knees, shaking uncontrollably.
Zhou Li’s face was even more filled with despair.
It was over.
It was all over now.
With Aguang down, her long-term meal ticket was gone too.
And she’d finally scored this cushy job with a lot of power.
Drawing a high salary.
Dumping the work on other people.
It had been so comfortable.
Now she had nothing.
"Someone come and throw these two out.
I don’t want to see them again."
Liu Yan roared.
People immediately came over, grabbed Aguang and Zhou Li, and tossed them out of the company.
The two of them were on the verge of tears.
Suddenly, Aguang swung his hand and slapped Zhou Li hard. "It’s all because of you, you bitch.
If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have offended Mr. Xiao, let alone President Liu.
You ruined me, I’ll kill you!"
Zhou Li wasn’t about to take it lying down. "You’re the one who was drooling over Xiao Chen’s wife. I’ll fight you to the death!"
The two of them started brawling in the street.
But that had nothing to do with Xiao Chen anymore.
Next, they smoothly obtained the patent authorization.
And of course, they didn’t pay a single cent.
Liu Yan couldn’t wait to give Xiao Chen more benefits.
After all, his life was in Xiao Chen’s hands.
"Thanks for today, President Liu.
Stop sending people to tail me.
Six days from now, just call me directly and send someone to pick me up."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he left with Jiang Meng.
Jiang Meng held onto Xiao Chen’s arm.
She was delighted inside.
Her husband always managed to make her proud.
And he was getting more and more mysterious and impressive.
She felt ridiculously lucky.
Originally, she’d thought her husband was still quite a bit weaker than the Black and White Divine Palace.
But now she realized that might not be the case.
Her husband might really be able to win.
Maybe even she herself didn’t know that much about her husband anymore.
The two of them were just about to head to Chenhe Group.
Suddenly, Wu Mingli called.
He said he had something to talk to Xiao Chen about.
He’d run into some trouble.
Xiao Chen told Jiang Meng to go back to the company.
He himself called a car and went to Wu Mingli’s place.
On the way, Wu Mingli told Xiao Chen the general situation.
Wu Mingyin had come again.
And this time, he’d brought along Wu Mingli’s second uncle and second aunt.
This family had shown Wu Mingli a bit of kindness in the past.
They’d treated him pretty well when he was a kid.
But after bad luck struck Wu Mingli.
They completely stopped contacting him.
Probably after hearing from Wu Mingyin that Wu Mingli had gotten rich.
They decided to show up again.
Wu Mingli was an honest man.
This kind of thing was precisely what he was worst at dealing with.
So he could only call Xiao Chen.
And ask Xiao Chen for help.
As soon as he entered the villa and reached the door to the living room.
He heard a woman’s voice from inside.
"Let me tell you, Mingli, this is where you’re in the wrong.
Your parents died early.
We’re the ones who raised you.
Now that you’re doing well in life.
Yet you don’t know how to repay kindness, that’s not right.
I heard that last time you actually almost had your cousin thrown in jail.
You really made your second aunt heartbroken."
In reality, this so-called "raising" him was complete nonsense.
When he was sixteen, Wu Mingli’s parents died in a car accident.
His second uncle and second aunt, who were also Wu Mingyin’s parents, seized his family’s assets and the compensation money.
They took care of him for two years.
Those two years were indeed not bad.
But after those two years, Wu Mingli enlisted in the army.
All the way until he came back with both legs disabled.
Wu Mingyin’s parents never once came to see him.
When Wu Qianqian fell ill.
Wu Mingli had gone to borrow money from Wu Mingyin’s parents, and they refused.
So what this woman was saying now was completely shameless.
"Second Aunt, just tell me what you came here for this time."
Facing relatives, Wu Mingli really couldn’t harden his heart.
Even though they were utterly shameless.
He was still very polite.
"If you hadn’t asked, I almost would’ve forgotten.
Here’s the thing.
Your cousin Mingyin is at least a college graduate.
Right now he’s really being wasted.
He’s stuck working as a food delivery guy.
Those company bosses are blind, they actually won’t let him be management."
Once his second aunt started talking, it was like a machine gun: "So, we came to you.
Mingyin’s got real skills and could’ve started his own business.
But since he knows you’ve started a company, he wants to help you out."
Wu Mingli understood.
They wanted him to arrange a job for Wu Mingyin.
