"You have to stand up for me! I'm someone close to you, and I can't stand being treated like this!"

Liu Gaoshan was crying loudly outside, tears streaming down his face, unaware that Chen Yaofu inside the office had already frowned and looked extremely grim.

"What is Liu Gaoshan up to now?!"

That's what he said, but Chen Yaofu knew in his heart that Liu Gaoshan was still useful. He couldn't lose patience with Liu Gaoshan before he lost his usefulness.

So at this point, he could only nod and say impatiently, "Let's let them in first!"

Chen Yaofu was initially overjoyed because Jiang Sheng's cannery was about to go bankrupt, and he was planning to find some people to celebrate with.

Hearing Liu Gaoshan's mournful voice outside the door, his mood immediately soured.

This Liu Gaoshan is not only a traitor, but he can't do anything right.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still somewhat useful, he really wouldn't have bothered to even glance at him again.

She came to him with a long face this time; who knows what kind of trouble she's gotten herself into this time.

As soon as the door opened, Chen Yaofu saw Liu Gaoshan limping into the office, his face bruised and battered, unrecognizable from his original appearance.

If he hadn't been holding his work ID, even the factory gatekeeper probably wouldn't have let him in.

"Director Chen, you must do me a favor!"

Upon seeing Chen Yaofu, Liu Gaoshan immediately began to cry and plead with him.

On the contrary, Chen Yaofu was seeing Liu Gaoshan beaten up like this for the first time; he was completely disheveled and looked utterly pathetic.

He frowned, startled: "What happened to you? How did you get beaten up like this? Who did this to you?"

Although that's how he asked the question, Chen Yaofu already had a general idea in his mind.

Could this kid have offended someone again, or maybe he got beaten up by Jiang Sheng's people?

Chen Yaofu had no idea that he had only guessed half of it correctly.

Liu Gaoshan was already filled with anger, and when he heard Chen Yaofu's question, he immediately became extremely aggrieved.

"All of this is because of that bastard Jiang Sheng!"

Liu Gaoshan quickly began to speak, relentlessly accusing Chen Yaofu.

"Although we had already signed a contract and he promised to give me 30% of the profits, in the end, I don't know what happened, he arranged for someone to investigate me secretly, and I found out that I was just pretending to cooperate with him!"

"So when Jiang Sheng found out that I had been helping you all along, he was furious. Plus, he had given me so much money, so he hired people to ambush me in an alley that night and beat me up!"

Liu Gaoshan cried as he recounted his grievances, his head bowed, his eyes and heart filled with hatred.

He already hated Jiang Sheng to the core, and now he wished he could exaggerate as much as possible, even if it meant turning black into white, as long as Chen Yaofu stood by his side, he didn't care!

Chen Yaofu has been in the business world for many years and has long been a shrewd and cunning man.

Hearing Liu Gaoshan's words, and knowing what kind of person Liu Gaoshan really was, he realized...

Looking at his tearful and aggrieved appearance, how could one not guess whether he was telling the truth or lying?

He knew better than Liu Gaoshan how much of this was true and how much was false.

He was already happy about the impending closure of Jiang Sheng's cannery, so he didn't care which of Liu Gaoshan's words were true and which were false.

He sat there without saying a word, and Liu Gaoshan thought that the other party did not believe him, so he quickly cried and expressed his loyalty to Chen Yaofu.

"Director Chen, as you know, ever since I started working for you, I have always been loyal to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

"Others may not know what kind of person I am, but don't you know my personality better than anyone else?"

"I've suddenly been beaten up, and I can't find anyone else but you to help me get revenge. You absolutely have to help me get back at them; I can't just let this beating go unpunished..."

Hearing Liu Gaoshan's words, Chen Yaofu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Watching the other party constantly profess loyalty, coupled with his face swollen like a pig's head and his tearful appearance, was both ridiculous and disgusting.

Chen Yaofu frowned subconsciously, suppressing his impatience, and waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, I know what you want to say."

"You got beaten up, but I'll take care of it for you later!"

Upon hearing Chen Yaofu's words, Liu Gaoshan breathed a sigh of relief and began to flatter and fawn over Chen Yaofu.

"Director Chen is so good to me. You've helped me resolve this matter. I will definitely remain loyal to you from now on, without any further complaints!"

"Saying those high-sounding words is useless."

Chen Yaofu stood up, in a good mood, and too lazy to argue with him.

"Since you've suffered so much because of me, I'll treat you to dinner today. I'll take you to Night Rose and let you enjoy yourself. Consider it compensation!"

Upon hearing that it was Night Rose, Liu Gaoshan's eyes lit up instantly.

Others may not know, but he knows very well that Night Rose is a place only the wealthy can enter.

Although he had made a lot of money with Chen Yaofu, the money he would spend on Night Rose for one night would make him feel bad for days.

What Liu Gaoshan didn't know was that Chen Yaofu did this entirely because Jiang Sheng's Shengde Canned Food Processing Plant was about to go bankrupt.

He was already happy and had planned to find an opportunity to celebrate properly.

As for Liu Gaoshan...

He glanced at the person next to him whose face was swollen like a pig's head, and then looked away in disgust.

Just consider it a way to win him over so that he'll be more willing to work for me in the future.

...

Jiang Sheng and Zhao Defu had just finished their afternoon classes and were preparing to find a place outside the school to have lunch together.

"It's been a long time since I've been outside of school. I remember there's a noodle shop that's really delicious. My third sister recommended it before."

Zhao Defu scratched his head and rubbed his hands together as he walked forward.

"Brother Sheng, I treated you yesterday, so it's your turn today, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, it's my treat today, order whatever you like!"

Zhao Defu chuckled, and the two of them chatted and laughed as they walked forward. After a short while, they arrived at the entrance of the noodle shop.

Just as the two were about to go inside, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.
