“Divorce? What's divorce for? Do we get cake?” Tang Shimin exclaimed loudly.
“Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat!” Li Xiumei slapped Tang Shimin across the face and roared, “Young Master Ye will be here soon. After the divorce, we'll get the marriage certificate with Young Master Ye!”
“Beep beep!”
Just then, Ye Shangwen’s Mercedes stopped in front of them. The window rolled down, and Ye Shangwen honked at Li Xiumei.
“Shangwen, you’re here. Shimin is all dressed up. Let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get it done!” Li Xiumei said, pushing Tang Shimin forward.
“Hurry up and get in the car!”
“I don’t want to ride in a car, I want to ride in Lu Yang’s electric bike!” Seeing Lu Yang, Tang Shimin immediately ran over and grabbed his hand. For three years, Tang Shimin’s favorite things had been riding Lu Yang’s electric bike and eating snacks he bought.
“Ride your sister’s electric bike! Get in Shangwen’s car immediately and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate!” Li Xiumei shouted coldly. “This good-for-nothing has been freeloading at our house for three years. It's time to kick him out!” She then pulled Tang Shimin into Ye Shangwen’s car.
“Good-for-nothing, see this? This is my power. With this, you can do whatever you want!” Ye Shangwen extended his hand and rubbed it in front of Lu Yang, looking smug. Just as he was about to start the car and leave, his phone suddenly rang.
Ye Shangwen glanced at it and quickly answered. “Dad!”
“What? How could this happen? I’ll be right back!” After hanging up the phone, Ye Shangwen’s face turned very grim.
“Shangwen, what’s wrong?” Li Xiumei asked anxiously.
“Something’s happened at home, I have to go back immediately!” Ye Shangwen said, then pulled Li Xiumei and Tang Shimin out of the car and sped away. Li Xiumei stood there, stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment.
“Lu Yang, I want to ride your electric bike!” Tang Shimin, without a second thought, immediately ran behind Lu Yang’s electric bike, got on, and said with a smile.
“Okay, let’s go. I’ll take you to buy some delicious food!” Lu Yang smiled slightly, took Tang Shimin to a nearby convenience store to buy an ice cream and some spicy strips, her favorite snacks, and then sent her back.
“Should I go check out my own company?” Lu Yang thought. Since he had nothing to do now, and the Ye family was probably finished, Li Xiumei wouldn’t force him and Tang Shimin to divorce for a while.
Soon, Lu Yang, riding his electric bike, slowly headed towards Haitong Group. Haitong Group was located in the center of Jiangbei City, a 188-meter-tall building, a landmark of Jiangbei City, and ranked among the top fifty in the world’s top 500 enterprises.
Lu Yang parked his electric bike outside and walked directly into the lobby.
“Hey, beggar, this is not a place you should be. Get on your electric bike and scram!” Before Lu Yang could enter the lobby, a man in a security uniform stopped him and shouted coldly.
“I’m looking for Lin Guoxiong!” Lu Yang said directly.
“What? You’re looking for General Manager Lin? You? What’s General Manager Lin’s status, how could he possibly know someone like you? Scram!” The security guard showed no respect to Lu Yang and drove him away again.
Seeing that the security guard was unreasonable, Lu Yang didn’t bother arguing. He walked straight inside. At this moment, a woman with a hot figure, her curves accentuated by her professional attire, with long, straight legs moving with each step, walked towards Lu Yang.
“What’s going on?” Seeing the security guard and Lu Yang arguing, the woman asked coldly.
“Manager Zhang, this idiot broke in and refuses to leave!” the security guard said to the beautiful woman.
“ Hurry up and get him out. He’s so dirty, he’ll get our company’s floor dirty!” The woman glanced at Lu Yang with disdain and waved her hand.
“Let Lin Guoxiong come out to see me!” Lu Yang shouted coldly.
“What? You’re looking for our General Manager Lin? Who do you think you are, daring to call our General Manager Lin by his name? Get out, or I won’t be polite!” Hearing Lu Yang’s words, the woman’s attitude immediately became arrogant.
“Here’s ten yuan, hurry up and leave, don’t make it difficult for me!” The security guard also contemptuously took out ten yuan from his pocket, as if to shoo away a beggar.
Seeing the despicable behavior of these two, Lu Yang didn’t waste any more words. He took out his phone and made a call.
“Chairman Lu!” The phone only rang once before the other party answered and asked respectfully.
“I’m downstairs at Haitong Group, but your people seem to be very impolite, insulting my ancestors for eighteen generations!” Lu Yang said coldly.
“What?”
“Chairman Lu, please wait a minute, I’ll be right down!” Hearing this, Lin Guoxiong suddenly stood up and rushed out. His secretary, standing by his side, was stunned, not knowing what had happened.
“Oh, kid, you’re really putting on a show. I’ll give you ninety-nine points. I’ll deduct one point so you don’t get too proud!” The beautiful woman said, “But now, you should get out quickly!” Just then, two more security guards came up and flanked Lu Yang, about to throw him out.
However, Lu Yang was no longer the same as before. The two security guards couldn’t move Lu Yang.
“Damn it, you think you can push your luck?!” One of the security guards, seeing Lu Yang’s uncooperativeness, took out his baton and was about to smash it towards Lu Yang’s head.
“Stop!” Just at this critical moment, a clear voice rang out. Everyone looked inside and saw a middle-aged man in his forties rushing out, not even having time to button his suit, completely losing his composure.
“General Manager Lin, hello!” Everyone stood up straight upon seeing the middle-aged man and greeted the elder.
“What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and throw this idiot out! What if he offends General Manager Lin?” the beautiful woman said, running towards Lin Guoxiong while instructing the security guards to deal with Lu Yang.
“Who gave you the guts to treat the Chairman like this?” Lin Guoxiong shouted at the two security guards.
Chairman?
“General Manager Lin, you must be joking? How could this idiot be…” The beautiful woman smiled and continued speaking to Lin Guoxiong. However, before she could finish, she saw the anger on Lin Guoxiong’s face and immediately stopped. From Lin Guoxiong’s expression, she had confirmed one thing: Lin Guoxiong was truly angry, and what he had just said was true! The person in front of her, whom she had treated as an idiot, was indeed the Chairman of Haitong Group!
“General Manager Lin…”
“Chairman…”
“I…” The woman stammered, tears welling up in her eyes, not knowing what to do.
“You’re fired!” Lin Guoxiong shouted coldly at the woman, then respectfully walked up to Lu Yang. “Chairman Lu, I apologize. I failed to manage my subordinates and caused you distress!” Lin Guoxiong said with deep self-reproach.
