After spending half a month in the hospital, Quan Xingfa was finally discharged. The first thing he did after leaving the hospital was to have Tong Xiuqiong push him to the front of the Chu Corporation building.
Chu Rong had already warned the administrative department not to let him set foot in Chu Corporation again. Therefore, when Tong Xiuqiong pushed the wheelchair forward aggressively, intending to go in and argue, they couldn't even get through the main gate.
Quan Xingfa, furious, cursed at the gatekeeper, "Are you blind? Take a good look at who I am! I'm your boss's uncle, and my niece is your boss's wife. Hurry up and let us in."
The gatekeeper sneered, "We know. Aren't you Quan Xingfa, the one with a thicker skin than a city wall? Everyone in the company knows you. You come to our boss for money every few days. What, still want money? You might as well change your profession to begging."
"You... you can't say anything decent. I'm related to your boss, I'm practically his master. How dare you, a mere guard dog, bark at your master? Who taught you the rules?"
The gatekeeper was also enraged. He lunged forward and grabbed Quan Xingfa's collar, "Say that again, I dare you."
"I'm not afraid of you," Quan Xingfa said without restraint. "If you have the guts, kill me. If you kill me, you'll pay with your life."
The gatekeeper clenched his fist. If it weren't for the surveillance cameras around, he would have truly thrown a punch.
Seeing him raise his fist, Tong Xiuqiong immediately started to act up, shouting, "He's hitting me! He's going to kill me! The gatekeeper of Chu Corporation is going to beat an innocent civilian!"
Her voice was quite loud, and some passersby on the roadside immediately looked over.
The gatekeeper released Quan Xingfa's collar, feeling both angry and wronged. "You people are truly shameless."
However, Quan Xingfa and Tong Xiuqiong clearly didn't care about shame. Since Quan Xingfa couldn't get in, he simply had Tong Xiuqiong push him to the side of the road and then shouted at the street:
"Someone's going to die! I can't live anymore! Chu Corporation is heartless and has stolen my company. I came to reason with them, and the gatekeeper tried to beat me to death. Oh, now my company is gone, I'm crippled, and I have two children to support. They're trying to force me to my death!"
Most of the traffic on the road consisted of cars, but there were also occasional pedestrians. As they passed, they stopped to look for a moment. Gradually, a small crowd gathered around, with some people even taking out their phones to record.
...
In the president's office on the top floor of Chu Corporation building, Wang Xiao pushed the door open.
"Boss, Quan Xingfa is here again, causing trouble downstairs. Should we just kick him out?"
Chu Rong raised his eyes slightly, looking at Wang Xiao with a cold gaze.
Wang Xiao immediately nodded briskly, "Understood." He quickly exited the office and then contacted a law firm, making arrangements accordingly.
The law firm acted swiftly. Within a short time, a team of five people arrived downstairs.
Quan Xingfa was enthusiastically shouting when suddenly a path opened up in the crowd. He looked closely and saw a group of sharp, well-dressed individuals, and he instinctively fell silent.
The lawyer leading the group approached Quan Xingfa and unhurriedly took out a piece of paper from his folder, handing it to him. "Mr. Quan, you have fabricated untrue events, slandered, defamed, and damaged the reputation of Chu Corporation. Chu Corporation has now decided to file a lawsuit against you. This is a lawyer's letter."
Quan Xingfa had been a boss before and knew that a lawyer's letter was just meant to scare people. So, he stuck out his neck and said, "You think a lawyer's letter can scare me away? Are you trying to fool a three-year-old child?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another group of uniformed officials arrived. The leader, with a stern face, said, "Are you the one inciting a crowd and causing trouble? Come with us to the station."
Quan Xingfa panicked, quickly waving his hands and shaking his head. "I'm not causing trouble, I'm just airing my grievances. Are you not even allowed to speak?"
"Whether it's causing trouble or not isn't up to you to decide. Take him away."
With a command from the leader, several people stepped forward and, without a word, directly took Quan Xingfa and Tong Xiuqiong away.
This reversal happened too quickly. The spectators were stunned for a moment before they gradually dispersed.
...
Quan Zhiwei and Quan Xiaotang, siblings, were eating takeout at home when they suddenly received a call from a landline.
Quan Xiaotang thought it was a sales call and hung up without hesitation. But as soon as she hung up, the phone rang again.
Impatiently, she answered, "Go to hell! If you call again, I'll report you."
Tong Xiuqiong, on the other end of the phone, roared, "I'm your mother, you unfilial wretch!"
"Ah? Mom?" Quan Xiaotang asked, confused. "Why are you calling from a landline? Didn't you and Dad go to Chu Corporation? Did you get any results? Are you getting the company back?"
Tong Xiuqiong, full of anger, said, "The Chu person has many tricks. Your dad and I have been detained. Go to Guanghuan Building and find that little slut. Tell her to beg for mercy and get us released. If she has any conscience, she won't ignore us."
Quan Xiaotang gasped in shock, "You've been detained? Where? Why were you detained?"
"We can't get out anyway. You and your brother quickly go find that little beast. The Chu person definitely listens to her."
Quan Xiaotang hung up the phone, snatched Quan Zhiwei's chopsticks, and said, "Stop eating. Mom told us to go to Guanghuan Building to find that woman. Mom and Dad have been detained and told that woman to go to Chu Corporation to beg for them."
Quan Zhiwei was shocked. "How did they get detained? Weren't they going to reason with the Chu person?"
Quan Xiaotang quickly put on her shoes. "The Chu person has all sorts of tricks. Hurry up!"
The two quickly dressed and left, driving directly to Guanghuan Building.
Having learned from the previous experience, Quan Xiaotang was prepared this time. She casually found an interview notice and Photoshopped the company name and date to "Chuxin Culture" and the current date.
At the security gate on the first floor, Quan Xiaotang showed the interview notice to the property service staff. As expected, she smoothly passed through the security gate. Then, the property service staff used a card to swipe the elevator floor system and pressed the sixteenth floor. The two successfully got into the elevator.
"Ding~" The elevator soon stopped on the sixteenth floor.
Quan Zhiwei and Quan Xiaotang stepped out of the elevator and immediately saw the reception desk of Chuxin Culture.
Quan Xiaotang disdainfully cursed, "Heartless wretches. They have money to open such a shabby company, but they don't even mention repaying our family for raising them for so many years."
Quan Zhiwei, on the other hand, walked directly forward and knocked on the door.
Those who could go to the sixteenth floor were either employees with separate floor access or external personnel like interviewees allowed in by property management. As for employees on other floors and reporters, they couldn't access the sixteenth floor because they didn't have access cards, and the safety fire escape was locked from the inside. Therefore, Guo Xiao didn't suspect the identity of the two people outside the door at first and directly opened the glass door.
"Are you here for an interview?" Guo Xiao asked, taking out the interview sign-in sheet.
Quan Xiaotang's expression was arrogant. "Is your boss in?"
Guo Xiao was displeased with her tone and attitude and replied coldly, "Do you have an appointment with our boss?"
Quan Zhiwei impatiently urged, "Go call Quan Jiu out. Tell her her cousin and cousin are here."
Cousin and cousin? The boss's relatives? Guo Xiao sized them up. These two did look somewhat alike, likely siblings, but they didn't resemble their boss in the slightest.
"If you are the boss's relatives, then please call the boss yourself. Without an appointment, I cannot let you see the boss."
Quan Xiaotang's face darkened. "What's a receptionist being so arrogant for? If Quan Jiu is truly your boss, then our family owns at least half the equity in this company." She raised her voice and shouted towards the office area, "Quan Jiu, come out!"
