“That’s two hundred thousand, you should think carefully!”
Lu Yang saw that Li Xiumei was drunk and reminded her kindly.
“You good-for-nothing, I told you to get the money, why are you talking so much? Are you afraid I’ll cheat my sister?”
Li Xiulan stared at Lu Yang and yelled fiercely.
“Sister, I’ll go. This good-for-nothing isn’t one of us. I don’t trust him to get the money!”
Feng Tenglong immediately stood up and said to Li Xiumei with a smile.
“Yes, this good-for-nothing is an outsider. I don’t trust him to get the money. Tenglong, you go get it then!”
Li Xiumei swayed her head and handed the key to Feng Tenglong.
Feng Tenglong and Li Xiulan exchanged a smile, suppressing their inner joy. They immediately went out to get two hundred thousand, stuffing it into a sack they had prepared.
Seeing this, Lu Yang shook his head helplessly. He knew that his mother-in-law had been flattered by this family and had let the two hundred thousand go. By the time Li Xiumei sobered up tomorrow, she would regret it immensely.
However, Lu Yang had already given his reminder. As for who got the two hundred thousand, it had nothing to do with him. With Lu Yang’s current status, let alone two hundred thousand, even two million or twenty million wouldn’t catch his eye.
He was currently focused on feeding Tang Shimin bird’s nest.
“Open your mouth!”
“Ah…”
After feeding Tang Shimin, Lu Yang couldn’t stand the sight of Li Xiulan’s family fawning over Li Xiumei and went out to the restroom.
As Lu Yang finished his business and came out, he saw a man entering to clean the restroom. In just one glance, Lu Yang instantly recognized the man as his college classmate, Lei Peng!
Back in college, Lei Peng was Lu Yang’s roommate, and they had a good relationship. However, after graduation, Lu Yang became a live-in son-in-law to the Tang family, and they lost contact.
“Lei Peng?”
Lu Yang exclaimed excitedly.
The man heard Lu Yang’s voice and immediately looked up. A surprised expression appeared on his weathered face.
“Lu Yang? Is that really you?”
Lei Peng also recognized Lu Yang, and the two old friends were very excited to see each other.
“What’s going on with you?”
“Alas, don’t mention it. I offended someone, and I had no choice but to clean toilets here!”
Lei Peng said helplessly.
“Who is so audacious to insult you like this in broad daylight?”
Lu Yang finished speaking, directly snatched the cleaning tools from Lei Peng’s hand, and threw them on the ground.
“Hey, Lu Yang, I can’t afford to offend this person, and neither can you. Let’s just forget it!”
Lei Peng sighed and said.
The person who had wronged him this time had a very deep background. Lei Peng also knew that Lu Yang was just a live-in son-in-law to the Tang family and couldn’t help him at all.
“Lei Peng, you are my friend, and I will help you to the end!”
“Don’t worry, no matter who it is, I will get this respect back for you!”
Lu Yang’s eyes were extremely firm. He then took out a cigarette and offered one to Lei Peng. They talked while smoking.
Just then, a middle-aged man walked in directly, looked at Lei Peng, and yelled coldly, “You damn lazy bum, I told you to clean the toilets, and you’re here smoking? I’ll kill you!”
As the middle-aged man spoke, he kicked towards Lei Peng.
However, before he could reach Lei Peng, Lu Yang kicked him away. He crashed heavily into a urinal in the restroom, breaking it.
“Ah…”
The middle-aged man cried out, covered in urine.
“How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am?”
“I am from Haitong Group, and I will make sure you have no place to be buried!”
The middle-aged man directly revealed his identity.
“How can there be a dog like you in Haitong Group?”
“What’s your name?”
Lu Yang looked at the middle-aged man and asked directly.
“You little bastard, you’re finished! My name is Wu Dongxu, and I’m the deputy manager of the logistics department at Haitong Group. I’ll make you clean toilets here just like this good-for-nothing!”
Wu Dongxu said, and took out his phone to call for backup. However, before he could make the call, Lu Yang directly took out his phone and called Lin Guoxiong.
“Old Lin, check if Haitong Group has someone named Wu Dongxu. Fire him immediately!”
Lu Yang said angrily.
“Yes!”
Lin Guoxiong recognized the anger in Lu Yang’s tone and quickly replied.
Meanwhile, Wu Dongxu’s call hadn’t even gone through yet. Hearing Lu Yang’s words, he immediately burst into laughter, “You’re a f*cking idiot! Do you think Haitong Group is your family’s? You can fire whoever you want?”
However, as soon as Wu Dongxu finished speaking, a phone call came in.
“Manager Li?”
Seeing the caller ID, Wu Dongxu was stunned for a moment and quickly answered.
“Wu Dongxu, you’re fired. You don’t need to come to work tomorrow!”
After the phone call, a busy tone rang out.
“This…”
Wu Dongxu was instantly dumbfounded. He didn’t know who this young man was to be able to get someone fired from Haitong Group with just one phone call. This was unbelievable.
Lei Peng, standing beside him, was also dumbfounded, staring blankly and unable to snap out of it for a long time.
“Lu Yang isn’t the Tang family’s live-in son-in-law. When did he have such a powerful background that he could influence the personnel decisions of Haitong Group with just one phone call?”
However, before Lei Peng could remain stunned for long, Lu Yang directly said, “I’ve resolved the matter for you. Go to Haitong Group tomorrow and take this person’s position!”
“Lu… Lu Yang, am I dreaming?”
Lei Peng couldn’t believe that all of this was real and quickly slapped himself.
“Ah… it hurts… this isn’t a dream, it’s real!”
“I told you, you are my friend, and I will take care of your matters!”
“Don’t ask anything, just do as I say. I don’t need your thanks, just work hard in the future, and that will be the greatest thanks to me!”
Lu Yang patted Lei Peng’s shoulder with a smile, and the two of them walked out of the restroom.
“Lu… Don’t worry, I will definitely work hard and not let down your good intentions!”
Lei Peng said emotionally.
“Mm!”
Lu Yang nodded.
“By the way, Lu Yang, our college classmate Liu Xiaoyuan is getting married tomorrow. Are you going?”
Lei Peng suddenly remembered something and said to Lu Yang.
“Liu Xiaoyuan?”
A thought of a reasonably good-looking girl flashed in Lu Yang’s mind. He remembered that in college, Liu Xiaoyuan had pursued him. However, at that time, Lu Yang only wanted to focus on his studies and didn’t have the time for romance, so he had rejected Liu Xiaoyuan. He didn’t expect that Liu Xiaoyuan would be getting married now.
“Yes!”
Thinking of this, Lu Yang looked at Lei Peng and nodded, deciding to go.
“Then can you bring a gift for me? I won’t be able to go, as I need to report to Haitong Group!”
Lei Peng immediately said.
“No problem!”
Lu Yang smiled slightly, chatted with Lei Peng about old times, and then left the place, returning to the private room.
When Lu Yang returned, the dinner party had already ended. Li Xiulan’s family drove Li Xiumei’s Phaeton back home and helped her to bed. Seeing that Li Xiumei was already drunk like a dead pig, Li Xiulan’s family immediately disappeared with the two hundred thousand.
Lu Yang coaxed Tang Shimin to sleep and then went to sleep himself.
The next morning, Lu Yang went directly to the address given by Lei Peng to attend Liu Xiaoyuan’s wedding.
