Just then, a commanding voice rang out from the doorway of the private room: "Who is it? Speaking so arrogantly!"
Everyone in the private room turned to look.
A middle-aged man with a large belly, wearing a black jacket, walked in with a stern face.
A large, dark-skinned entourage followed behind them!
It was He Liqiang who arrived!
The bidding process for the operating rights of the new port built by China Shipping is about to end.
The results of the invitation to tender will be announced in a couple of days.
He Liqiang was to return to Beijing to report on his work and, as Qin Lao had requested, confess his mistakes to the organization and accept punishment.
What kind of punishment will he receive upon returning to Beijing?
Is it a demotion or a dismissal?
He didn't know it himself!
So, as the day of my return to Beijing approached, I came here to have a meal with my colleagues.
It was both a celebration of the successful completion of the work and a farewell dinner in disguise.
Unexpectedly, right after finishing his meal, he learned that his subordinate Zhao Zhichun had been beaten up.
And I heard that the person who did the assault was extremely arrogant!
So He Liqiang decided to personally lead a group to see what was going on.
At this moment, Zhao Zhichun saw He Liqiang arrive. Ignoring his pain, he went up to him with a fawning expression and said, "Boss, I'm so sorry to have bothered you because of some ignorant fool."
When He Liqiang saw the injuries on Zhao Zhichun's face, his expression darkened, and he asked, "Who beat you up like this?"
Zhao Zhichun pointed at Chen Yun and said angrily, "It's this little bastard!"
He Liqiang looked in the direction Zhao Zhichun pointed and then saw Chen Yun.
When he saw Chen Yun's face clearly!
Boom!
My head exploded on the spot!
He stood there dumbfounded.
A chill rose from his spine and tailbone, reaching the top of his head.
It was terrifying, it made my scalp tingle!
He stared at Chen Yun in shock, inwardly lamenting: My God, how could it be this man?
Not only did He Liqiang recognize Chen Yun.
Even several of He Liqiang's entourage recognized Chen Yun, and they all showed expressions of shock.
However, Zhao Zhichun completely failed to notice the subtle changes in the expressions of He Liqiang and the others. At this moment, this guy was filled with hatred for Chen Yun and wished that his leader would stand up for him and help him kill Chen Yun!
He pointed at Chen Yun and kept babbling, "Boss, this little punk beat me up like this. He even threatened to fire me. When I revealed your identity, he had the audacity to say that you wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of him!"
He got more and more excited as he talked.
Relying on his superior's backing, he walked straight up to Chen Yun and provocatively said, "Kid, weren't you very arrogant just now? Now, in front of my boss, try being arrogant again."
"Don't you dare?"
"Then it's my turn to deal with you!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand, intending to slap Chen Yun.
When He Liqiang saw this scene, he was so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his body.
His bloated, pot-bellied body suddenly burst forth with terrifying speed. He rushed forward, swung his right arm, and before Zhao Zhichun could attack Chen Yun, he punched Zhao Zhichun in the face.
bang
Zhao Zhichun took a solid punch from He Liqiang, flying sideways and crashing to the ground with a thud.
He couldn't get up for a long time.
The sudden scene not only stunned Zhao Qingyu's family, but also the group of followers behind He Liqiang.
Even Chen Yun and Shu Lingyue showed surprise.
Neither of them expected that He Liqiang's fat and bloated body could suddenly burst out with such speed, rushing over and knocking Zhao Zhichun flying.
He Liqiang punched Zhao Zhichun, sending him flying, but his anger did not subside. He cursed at Zhao Zhichun, who was lying on the ground, "You dog! I told you a thousand times not to bully others, and you still dare to use my name to cause trouble everywhere?"
Zhao Qingyu's family was a little confused!
When He Liqiang first entered, he asked Zhao Zhichun with concern who had caused the injury on his face, clearly indicating that he wanted to stand up for Zhao Zhichun.
How did things suddenly change so drastically, with He Liqiang now taking care of Zhao Zhichun instead?
Zhao Qingyu and the others looked at Chen Yun with suspicion and wondered if Commissioner He's change in attitude was related to Chen Yun.
really!
After scolding Zhao Zhichun, He Liqiang immediately rushed over to Chen Yun, repeatedly apologizing: "Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry. I never expected this to happen. I failed in my management. Please forgive me."
Chen Yun said coldly, "Commissioner He, your subordinates are really something! They've got their eyes on my assets and even threatened to bankrupt me and make me spend the rest of my life in regret!"
He Liqiang was stunned upon hearing this, looking incredulously at Zhao Zhichun, who was lying on the ground.
This blind fool, he's so greedy for money that he's even trying to seduce Mr. Chen, and he even dares to threaten him.
This is like stealing offerings from the King of Hell's table—you're asking for death!
He Liqiang hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, this guy is blind and doesn't recognize you. He has been very offensive to you. I apologize on his behalf..."
Chen Yun interrupted, "Is he dead?"
He Liqiang was taken aback upon hearing this, glanced at Zhao Zhichun lying on the ground not far away, and said, "No way!"
Chen Yun said indifferently, "Since he's not dead, why should you apologize on his behalf?"
He Liqiang immediately shouted at Zhao Zhichun, "Zhao Zhichun, are you dead or not? If you're not, get up right now and apologize to Mr. Chen. If you don't get Mr. Chen's forgiveness today, you don't need to come back to Beijing with me. You're dismissed on the spot!"
Zhao Qingyu's family all gasped in shock.
Zhao Zhichun had recovered from the pain, but he hadn't yet recovered from the shock of the mental impact.
Only after hearing He Liqiang's words did he shudder. He struggled to his feet, his face bruised and swollen, and came to Chen Yun. Gone was his previous arrogance; instead, he became timid and fearful.
Even if this guy is stupid, he knows he's really messed up today.
He lowered his head, not daring to look Chen Yun in the eye, and said in a trembling voice, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Chen Yun asked expressionlessly, "What did I do wrong?"
Zhao Zhichun lowered his head even further, looking as if he had lost his parents, and said weakly, his voice barely audible, "I shouldn't have interfered in Mr. Chen's divorce from my niece, and I especially shouldn't have let Mr. Chen give half of his property to my niece..."
Chen Yun sneered: "Heh, you really know how to downplay your mistakes. Is this all you've got?"
"You take advantage of your power to act arrogantly and bully others, threatening to take half of my property or use your authority to suppress and retaliate against me if I don't take it. You even threatened to shut down my hotel and company and bankrupt me. Why don't you mention any of this?"
He Liqiang's gaze toward Zhao Zhichun had become stern.
Zhao Zhichun was so frightened that he begged for mercy repeatedly: "Mr. Chen, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please give me a chance to make amends."
Chen Yun said indifferently, "Are you giving me the chance to continue to act arrogantly and oppress the people?"
After saying that, not bothering to look at the despair on Zhao Zhichun's face, he turned to He Liqiang and said, "He's your man. Should you deal with him yourself, or should I clean house for you?"
He Liqiang hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, let me deal with this troublesome thing!"
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Zhichun and said sternly, "Zhao Zhichun, I will report your problems to the organization truthfully. You can expect to be dismissed!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhichun felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud. His life's struggles were now completely over.
He was heartbroken and regretful, and couldn't help but cry.
Zhao Qingyu looked at her once-glorious cousin, now crying like a beggar on the street, and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but didn't know how to start.
Moreover, she also wanted to cry.
The idea of taking half of Chen Yun's property came from her uncle and family, without consulting her beforehand.
After this incident, her image in Chen Yun's eyes has plummeted.
The possibility of her getting back together with Chen Yun is almost zero.
The thought of losing Chen Yun forever made her want to cry.
