"Lu Yang, don't talk nonsense. Based on what? You dare to claim you're in the same company as me. What gives you the right? Because you're the useless son-in-law of the Tang family? Or because you have a foolish wife?"
"No matter whose connection got you in, I can tell you right now, you're fired!"
"I know you're broke. Considering we're classmates, I won't even make you pay for the clothes. Just get lost!"
Song Nuan looked at Lu Yang with disdain. From his words, she was completely convinced that Lu Yang was an absolute idiot, not speaking a single truthful word. She was even more certain that all their classmates had been tricked and deceived by Lu Yang the previous night.
"You want me to leave? Who gave you the right?"
Hearing this, Lu Yang shook his head. This was the second time he had been stopped at the entrance of his own company and told to leave.
"That's right. I don't care who hired you, and I don't care what background you have. From now on, you are fired. Get out immediately, and Haitong Group will never hire you again!"
Song Nuan spoke arrogantly, as if she were already a manager at Haitong Group and had the final say.
"Is Haitong Group run by you?"
Lu Yang looked at Song Nuan and continued to ask.
"Whether it's run by me or not, it's not something a useless person like you can ask!"
"Look at your pathetic state. Don't you just want some money?"
Song Nuan snorted coldly, reached into her bag, pulled out a wad of cash that looked like a thousand or eight hundred yuan, and threw it directly at Lu Yang's face.
"Take this money and get lost!"
At this moment, a Bentley suddenly stopped in front of the crowd, and a middle-aged man got out of the car. He stood in front of Lu Yang and bowed respectfully, asking, "Chairman Lu!"
Chairman Lu?
The useless son-in-law was the chairman of Haitong Group?
Seeing this, everyone's jaws dropped in disbelief.
But the person who arrived was Lin Guoxiong, the general manager of Haitong Group. How could his words be false?
Zheng Xiangdong, the sales manager standing nearby, had his legs turn to jelly. He realized he was the clown!
The person he had treated as useless was actually the chairman, and he had just been showing off in front of the chairman.
"It's over, it's all over!"
Zheng Xiangdong cursed Song Nuan in his heart.
Song Nuan's eyes widened, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. The useless son-in-law she had looked down on yesterday had now transformed into the chairman of Haitong Group. Was the world too crazy, or had her mind gone haywire!
The most critical point was that she had been insulting and cursing Lu Yang all along, and had even thrown money at his face…
"Chairman… Chairman Lu, I didn't do it on purpose!"
A few seconds later, Song Nuan put on a pitiful expression and said to Lu Yang.
"Does it matter if you did it on purpose?" Lu Yang sneered, walked directly to the electric scooter, rode it, and disappeared into the crowd.
Lin Guoxiong turned to look at Zheng Xiangdong and Song Nuan and said, "You two are fired!"
With a thud, Zheng Xiangdong fell to the ground. To get into Haitong Group, he had spent all his family's savings and begged everyone he knew, using countless connections, just to get into Haitong Group. He never expected that after less than half a year, he would be fired by the chairman for being snobbish.
Song Nuan also felt dizzy. Without the income from Haitong Group, what was she? How would she pay her high mortgage and car loan?
Without the income from Haitong Group, she would have to go out and sell herself…
Song Nuan immediately ran forward and blocked Lu Yang's electric scooter.
"Chairman Lu, I really didn't do it on purpose. Please, for the sake of our old classmates, be magnanimous and don't dismiss me. You… I'll do anything you want!"
As she said the last sentence, Song Nuan's face instantly turned red.
"You'll do anything?"
Lu Yang sneered. Yesterday, he was looked down upon by Song Nuan when he sat in front of her. Now, Song Nuan was standing in front of him, saying such things. Women, truly…
"Mmm!"
Song Nuan bit her lip and nodded heavily. To keep her job at Haitong Group, she had already decided that nothing else was important, including her body.
"You're overthinking it!"
"Whether you can stay or not depends on your future performance!"
After speaking, Lu Yang directly walked into the Haitong Group building.
In the chairman's office, Lu Yang sat in his chair and looked at Lin Guoxiong opposite him, asking with a smile, "Did we find a project for the fifty billion investment proposed in yesterday's meeting?"
"We are currently looking, but we haven't found a suitable one yet!"
Lin Guoxiong explained.
"Mmm, increase the fifty billion quota to one hundred billion and look for suitable projects throughout Jiangbei City. There are no restrictions on company size. As long as it's a good project, Haitong Group doesn't mind supporting small businesses!"
Lu Yang said to Lin Guoxiong.
"Okay, I'll arrange it immediately!"
Lin Guoxiong nodded and then went out to arrange this matter.
Lu Yang, meanwhile, began to review all the documents on the desk, which were prepared by Lin Guoxiong long ago, covering all aspects of the company's operations.
Without realizing it, the entire afternoon passed. Lu Yang gained a comprehensive understanding of Haitong Group.
As the largest group company in Jiangbei City, Haitong Group was primarily in the building materials industry, but it also had extensive involvement in other sectors, with branch companies in tourism, real estate, services, finance, and more.
Just as Lu Yang was about to stretch his back, a woman in high heels walked in. The woman was not wearing a work uniform.
"Chairman Lu, have you been sitting for too long? Are your shoulders uncomfortable? Let me give you a massage!"
The woman said with a slight smile, walked directly behind Lu Yang, and placed her slender hands on his shoulders, beginning to massage him.
"Song Nuan, we're classmates, you don't need to be so formal!"
Lu Yang chuckled awkwardly.
"We were classmates before, but now you are my leader. Caring for my leader's health is a subordinate's duty!"
Song Nuan said, her hand unconsciously sliding down Lu Yang's shoulder, while her head leaned slightly against Lu Yang's shoulder, exhaling gently into his ear.
"Chairman Lu, actually, I liked you back in school. But I was too shy then and didn't have a chance to confess. Now that fate has given me such a great opportunity, I've decided I want to be with you!"
"I don't mind that you have a wife. As long as you have me in your heart, that's enough!"
Song Nuan leaned against Lu Yang's shoulder, her lips moving by his ear, her hot breath mingling with her fragrance and filling Lu Yang's ear. Her other hand gently traced Lu Yang's chest, exuding an irresistible allure.
"Really?"
Lu Yang turned his head and looked into Song Nuan's eyes, asking with a smile.
"Of course, it's true!"
Song Nuan was overjoyed and immediately nodded.
"Then I'm sorry, I might disappoint you. My heart only belongs to my wife, Tang Shimin. As for you, I'm not interested!"
"Alright, I need to go home and cook!"
Lu Yang sneered, gently removed Song Nuan's hands from him, then stood up and walked towards the exit.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the residential compound, his phone rang.
"You useless bum, where did you run off to? Come back here to me right now!"
Li Xiumei's voice immediately roared from Lu Yang's phone.
Lu Yang sneered and hung up. He had expected Li Xiumei to demand an explanation after she sobered up, but Lu Yang had already made arrangements and rode his electric scooter back.
At the Tang residence, Tang Mingde had already returned and was sitting with Li Xiumei on the sofa. Both their faces looked very dejected. Seeing Lu Yang walk in, Li Xiumei immediately shouted, "You useless bum, did you give the thirty thousand yuan from my car to Li Xiulan's family?"
"You gave it yourself!"
Lu Yang immediately retorted.
"I gave it? Bullshit! I've never taken advantage of anyone in my life, how could I give them thirty thousand yuan!"
Li Xiumei yelled again.
"You were drunk and couldn't resist their flattery, so you gave them the money!"
Lu Yang continued.
"What did you say? You useless bum, you've gone too far, daring to talk to me like this!"
Hearing Lu Yang's words, Li Xiumei stepped forward to slap him, but Tang Mingde, who was still somewhat clear-headed, stopped her.
"Lu Yang, speak properly. What exactly happened?"
Tang Mingde looked at Lu Yang with a serious expression and asked.
Lu Yang remained silent. Instead, he took out his old phone and played a recording that he had made during their meal at Guoxing Hotel.
Hearing the recording, Tang Mingde and Li Xiumei's expressions changed. Li Xiumei had never expected that she had indeed given thirty thousand yuan to Li Xiulan's family and had said such nauseating things, like treating Feng Zhiyuan as her own son. This made Tang Mingde's face stretch long like a donkey's.
"I thought you lent the money to someone, but it turns out you gave it to your own son. Li Xiumei, oh Li Xiumei, how many other shameful things have you done behind my back over the years?"
Tang Mingde immediately began to mock Li Xiumei.
"Tang Mingde, what the hell are you saying? I was drunk, and you believe everything I say when I'm drunk?"
Li Xiumei was not to be outdone and launched a fierce counter-attack against Tang Mingde.
"Drunken words reveal true feelings. You don't even tell the truth when you're sober!"
"Damn you! Even if I gave it, that money was gotten from this useless bum. I can give it to whoever I want, it's none of your business!"
"..."
Watching the two of them argue, Lu Yang took Tang Shimin out. He didn't want to get involved in their quarrel.
"Lu Yang, I want to fly a kite in the park!"
Seeing someone selling kites at the entrance of the residential compound, Tang Shimin immediately pestered Lu Yang to buy one.
Lu Yang took out ten yuan from his pocket, bought a kite, and took Tang Shimin to a nearby small park.
As soon as they got the kite flying, Tang Shimin was cheering with delight when two young men suddenly walked up.
"A fool and a loser, they truly are a match made in heaven!"
These two youths were once classmates of Tang Shimin and had liked her before. However, after Tang Shimin became foolish, especially after marrying Lu Yang, they would always taunt them whenever they met.
One was Liu Changxin, the eldest son of the Liu family in Jiangbei City, and the other was Mo Yunsong, the young master of the Mo family in Jiangbei City. These two were not good people and were sour grapes.
"Get lost, you little bastard and you cheap whore! This is my territory, and you are not allowed to be here!"
Mo Yunsong coldly yelled at Lu Yang and Tang Shimin.
"This is a park, a public place. We're flying kites here, what does it have to do with you?"
Tang Shimin angrily shouted at Mo Yunsong.
"Oh, haven't seen you in a few days, your IQ has improved quite a bit. You even know that a park is a public place. This public place was also built by our Mo family, so it's our Mo family's territory. Get lost!"
Mo Yunsong coldly yelled.
"Don't be like that, Brother Song. Tang Shimin is such a beautiful woman. Why don't you let her have a drink with us two brothers?"
Liu Changxin looked at Tang Shimin, saliva almost dripping down, and immediately harbored wicked intentions.
