“Brother Hong…Brother Hong is dead, he’s dead.”
Someone shouted, and the dozens of thugs panicked. They dropped what they were holding and tried to scatter and run away, but a large group of people surrounded them and held them down.
In less than half an hour, dozens of people were tied up and brought to Gu Manyun's side.
Gu Manyun stood up and slowly walked over to these people.
"Sister Yun, please spare me! I was forced into this."
"I won't do it again. It was all Han Moon-seo who forced us to do it."
"Mr. Yun, I've been with you for six years, please spare me."
The group knelt on the ground, and cries of pleading for mercy filled the air.
"I, Gu Manyun, although I am a woman, I consider myself to have been loyal and righteous over the years." Gu Manyun stared coldly at the dozens of people.
“Over the years, if any of my brothers have died, I will take care of their wives, children, and elderly parents. If any of them are disabled, my Fengwu Chamber of Commerce will support them for the rest of their lives.”
"Humans are driven by profit; it's human nature, and I don't blame you."
"Thank you, Mr. Yun, thank you."
"I will be loyal to General Manager Yun from now on, even unto death."
A group of people knelt down and shouted, thinking that the matter was over.
However, Gu Manyun was clearly not finished speaking.
“However, if you do something wrong, you have to accept the punishment. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, nor is there any trial and error without paying a price.” Gu Manyun turned around abruptly and said coldly, “Everyone, lose an arm, be expelled from the Fengwu Chamber of Commerce, and may never appear anywhere in Jinling again.”
"Yes." A subordinate bowed and led his men out in pairs, twisting the people around.
"Have mercy, Mr. Yun, I really won't do it again."
"I know I was wrong. From now on, I will only be loyal to you..."
The scene was immediately filled with cries, and a group of people were dragged out one by one, while someone picked up a machete.
A moment later, screams of agony rang out from outside.
Gu Manyun walked out and saw a patch of open ground outside, covered in blood, with dozens of arms lying on the ground.
She ordered people to clean up the scene and then drag these people out. Throughout the whole process, Gu Manyun was frighteningly calm.
Ye Xingchen couldn't help but take a deep look at her. This woman was ruthless, and even ordinary men were probably no match for her.
"What, do you think I went too far?" Gu Manyun looked up at Ye Xingchen.
"No." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "You absolutely cannot use those who betray you. You should strike them down with swift and decisive measures. That's normal for a normal person."
“I think so too. If they don’t pay a price, more and more people will betray me in the future.” Gu Manyun smiled slightly: “Cheng Qiang didn’t come on his own initiative. It seems that the kid is quite cunning.”
“He doesn’t dare to come because he knows how powerful the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce is. If such a powerful Chamber of Commerce is destroyed, even if he covets Phoenix Terrace, he wouldn’t dare to take the initiative to make a move,” Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile.
"I'm going to meet him," Gu Manyun said through gritted teeth.
“There’s no need to meet him now, because he’s already hidden away, unless you’re prepared to go to war with the Cheng family of Hedong.” Ye Xingchen said leisurely, “The Cheng family is different from the Shengshi Chamber of Commerce; it’s a family business.”
“Simply killing the Cheng family father and son will not solve the problem. On the contrary, the rest of the Cheng family will fight us to the death.”
"What if we run into the Cheng family sooner or later?" Gu Manyun looked up at Ye Xingchen.
"We'll find a way when the time comes," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile.
The following day, the Chen Group.
The recent turmoil at the top of the Chen Group has affected many people.
Yu Lu's older brother is in prison, but her family has too many people in the company, so Chen Qian can't take control of the situation in a short time.
In the past few days, I've heard stories of executives being taken away or people being fired.
Inside the office, Chen Qian held a pen, constantly fiddling with it and turning it around in her hand.
Her expression was cold and stern as she quickly began to think.
Ye Xingchen pushed open the door and entered. Seeing Ye Xingchen come in, she was delighted, put down her pen, and went to greet her: "You've come?"
"You seem to have something on your mind. Have things not been going well these past few days?" Ye Xingchen asked with a smile.
“It didn’t go as smoothly as I had imagined.” Chen Qian shook her head: “Yu Lu is still the vice president of the company, while my foundation in the company is relatively weak. They are all my father’s loyal subordinates from the past.”
"Moreover, she is ruthless and reckless, and she is trying to squeeze me out of the company like a madwoman. I can't be like her because the company belongs to Chen's. If I am like her, the company will soon be unable to operate and will come to a standstill."
“It’s normal for her to be crazy, because the company isn’t hers,” Ye Xingchen said. “So she can act recklessly and lash out at you like a mad dog.”
“But you are different. The Chen Group is your father’s life’s work. If you are like her, then even if you take over the company, the losses will be enormous.”
"What should I do?" Chen Qian sighed. "Am I not trying hard enough?"
"It's not that you're not working hard enough, it's that the enemy is too shameless." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "You need to stay calm. The more challenging the situation, the tougher your attitude needs to be."
"You need to show Yu Lu your relentless attitude, and you also need to show your supporters your toughness. Only in this way can you make them feel at ease following you."
Chen Qian nodded. Ye Xingchen was right. It was precisely at times like these that she needed to stay calm.
"Where's my mom?" Just then, Chen Wenhao poked his head out.
"She's in the planning department." Chen Qian looked up and asked, "What are you doing here? Don't you have school?"
"None of your business?" Chen Wenhao glanced at Chen Qian disdainfully, then turned and left.
"This kid's pretty arrogant." Ye Xingchen grinned. "He's Yu Lu's darling and your half-brother. Have you ever thought that starting with this kid might yield unexpected results?"
“Him?” Chen Qian was slightly taken aback: “He’s just a student, and… aside from being disobedient, he’s not a bad person. I don’t want him to get involved in company matters.”
“He is your father’s only son. Now that things are like this in the company, do you think he can get away with it?” Ye Xingchen shook his head: “Yu Lu is brainless. If she wins this business war, then the future of Chen’s will most likely fall into the hands of the Yu family, and will have nothing to do with your brother.”
“I understand this principle, but what can I do? My younger brother is still young, he doesn’t understand these things at all, and his mind isn’t on this,” Chen Qian said quietly.
“He also has the surname Chen. How could he possibly stay out of this?” Ye Xingchen laughed. “This kid isn’t a bad person, but he’s too young and might be taken advantage of.”
