Cai Jinqu closed the door behind him as soon as he entered.
He felt no guilt about Zuo Ru, who was delicate and had been hospitalized; it was her own doing.
"Swish!" An office folder flew over. Before Cai Jinqu could speak, Cai Rong roared:
"Look, look at what you've done!"
Cai Jinqu thought it was about company matters, otherwise, why would a folder be thrown at him?
"What good deed? It's just company business!"
Cai Jinqu grumbled as he picked up the scattered documents.
"Company business? You still don't know what foolish thing you've done?"
"What foolish thing? What have I done?"
Cai Jinqu actually got angry, something he never expected in his life.
The 'wedge' in his back couldn't be provoked; once his emotions became unstable, especially when angry, it would be triggered.
This was the same temperament as the wedge's original owner, and Cai Jinqu's wedge happened to be a fierce god, one with no patience at all.
Cai Rong's words, rather than helping, reminded Cai Jinqu of his mother.
This further fueled Cai Jinqu's inner defiance; he wasn't just doing this for himself, but also to vent his anger on his mother's behalf.
Although he had never systematically figured out how to do things beautifully, he had never stopped acting.
From Cai Rong's scolding, he knew Zuo Ruxiu had a miscarriage.
To be honest, this was good news for him, truly great news.
A trace of secret delight rose in his heart, but he feigned an innocent expression.
"She provoked me. The documents I prepared for reporting, she didn't even look at them, just threw them aside. You didn't see..."
Cai Jinqu wanted to explain further, but Cai Rong gave him no chance.
"Enough, enough, don't say anything more. It's come to this, in my opinion, you shouldn't come to the company anymore!"
Cai Rong exploded upon hearing this.
"What? If I don't come to the company, where will I go?"
"Go wherever you want, you don't need to come to the company!"
"Heh... ha... fine! Fine!"
Cai Jinqu, enraged, said while chuckling and nodding.
This seemingly compliant expression vented his anger through his tone.
"For a woman, Old Cai can even kick his own son out of the company. Fine, Old Cai, you're ruthless! Let's see if I don't make you pay!"
Cai Rong's face was ashen, he didn't take Cai Jinqu's threat seriously at all.
What storms hadn't he weathered? He wasn't afraid of anyone else, so why would he fear his own son? Ridiculous.
Cai Jinqu grumbled for a while before grudgingly leaving the office.
At that moment, he severed all father-son ties from his heart. A thought of revenge began to sprout from the depths of his being:
Although I can't do anything to you, I want to see how you'll eat a fly that lands in your bowl.
The wedge on Cai Jinqu's body reacted, and the Ten-Faced Raksha saw it clearly. Correspondingly, fierce god number 47 in the taming disk stirred, the sensation quite distinct.
At this moment, Na Qianlai also happened to arrive.
"How is it, is the time right?"
"Reporting to my lord, the time is almost right. We can make our move in a few more days!"
"Since it's almost time, then move. Why wait those few days? Fussy, like a woman!"
Na Qianlai said with a stern expression.
It had been a long time since he had been in a Shura arena; he felt like he had been busy cultivating all day and hadn't had a chance to test its effectiveness.
This was a good opportunity to show off during the quest for the lucky fruit.
"In a few more days, it will be the first of the lunar month. The Yin energy will be at its strongest then, and we can obtain those lucky fruits with no effort!"
The Ten-Faced Raksha replied.
"I see, fine! Then we'll wait a few more days."
Na Qianlai said, lit a cigar, and leisurely left the taming ground.
Cai Jinqu lacked the ability to manage a company, but he possessed some cunning. He already knew that Xiao Li Zi was Zuo Ru Xiu's husband, and he decided to start with him.
Xiao Li Zi had not fully integrated into Zuo Ru Xiu's life, so he naturally didn't know how the rich truly lived, or how rich a rich person needed to be.
However, since getting married, he no longer had to do arduous work. The captain always assigned him lighter tasks, saying it was special consideration from above.
Xiao Li Zi was content, thinking this was a good life.
Although he occasionally heard about the storms, he avoided them as much as possible, still managing to deceive himself and live his life.
But when Cai Jinqu found him for a drink, his heart became restless.
Cai Jinqu found him after work when he was changing shifts and took him to Si Ji Xiang across the street for a meal.
Speaking of Si Ji Xiang, it was a place everyone in the security team talked about for gatherings but had never been to. Whoever treated them, always said it had to be Si Ji Xiang.
He hadn't had the chance to go before. He heard the dishes were quite expensive, a place only for the rich. Although Xiao Li Zi hoped to eat there until he was sick of it one day, his wallet wasn't that full.
But this time was different; Cai Jinqu took him. Not only was there a table full of food, but even the small portion of wine felt several grades better than the noodle shop next door.
Since coming out of his mother's womb, this was the first time Xiao Li Zi had enjoyed himself so much. Not only did he have a full meal and a bit of wine, but Cai Jinqu also called him "Brother Xiao Li" affectionately, which felt amazing!
Cai Jinqu couldn't manage a company, but he was adept at these routes of eating, drinking, and entertainment. After the meal, he took Xiao Li Zi for a whole package of singing, foot soaking, and massage.
This made Xiao Li Zi truly experience what life was, what enjoyment was.
At first, he felt that those so-called high-end places weren't much different from ordinary ones, just more luxuriously decorated. Cai Jinqu paid for everything, and he just played, not realizing that it was money that allowed such carefree indulgence.
Cai Jinqu treated Xiao Li Zi not to build a friendship, but because he needed him to do something. Without giving him some benefits, how could he ensure he would be loyal to him?
Thus, for three to four consecutive days, Cai Jinqu treated Xiao Li Zi with utmost sincerity, even smiling apologetically when Xiao Li Zi lost his temper.
The captain told him that there might be continuous overtime in a few days, so he was given four or five days off to relax in advance.
Xiao Li Zi didn't think much of it. In the past, he could only dream of having consecutive days off like this. Who would have thought such a good thing would happen this year?
It would be a waste not to take the rest, and besides, his good brother Xiao Cai was waiting to drink with him. Xiao Li Zi agreed without a second thought.
Cai Jinqu's approach was predictable, he didn't change his strategy. Given Xiao Li Zi's background, these were probably the most effective stimulants for him.
Xiao Li Zi seemed bewitched, especially after taking a liking to a girl at the KTV.
Cai Jinqu knew he had taken the bait.
