Chapter 143 Taking Ruthless Actions Behind Shang Wu's Back
Su Tingting's face was as pale as paper, and she was trembling uncontrollably. She looked like she was about to faint from fright.
Shang Wu suddenly felt bored.
Sometimes, prey that is too weak can kill one's desire to hunt.
She had lost interest in dealing with Su Tingting and gestured with her chin towards Tang Xueli: "You take care of her for me."
Tang Xueli laughed: "Su Tingting, you'd be better off in A Wu's hands than in mine. At least her methods of dealing with you won't be as despicable as mine."
She took out her phone and handed it to Su Tingting.
"Post all the photos of you fooling around with those foreign men online, so everyone can see what kind of person you are, the one who keeps saying that nobody wants you in Shangwu!"
As Shang Wu was looking at it, a phone call suddenly came in.
It's Qianjue.
She paused slightly, then went downstairs to a quiet spot.
"Hello?"
Qianjue said in a deep voice, "Let me remind you, the elder of the Yu family said that you have to settle the dock workers within half a month. Don't just focus on dating the young master and forget that there are only twelve days left."
Shang Wu's eyes turned cold: "I don't need you to remind me, I'll handle it myself."
After hanging up the phone, she frowned and pondered.
Although Lu Zheng had already relented, saying that as long as she resolved these issues, the elders of the Yu family would agree to her being with Lu Rang.
But things are definitely not that simple.
As the head of the Yu family, Lu Zheng has been trying for many years to bring Lu Rang back to Wanhu and arrange a marriage according to the Yu family's plan.
If she really resolves the labor union issue, Lu Zheng will accept her as his daughter-in-law.
not necessarily.
Shang Wu seemed to be deep in thought. When she returned to the private room, she saw Su Tingting slumped on the floor, crying as she edited all the photos of her past misdeeds onto her social media account and posted them.
Tang Xueli leaned against the table, looking at her with a half-smile.
"This time I'll see just who in the entire Lincheng is truly unwanted!"
Su Tingting trembled all over and didn't dare to utter a sound.
Shang Wu glanced at her, looking at the group of trembling young masters and ladies.
"Call home and tell your parents or elders to come and pick you up."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's face turned pale and ashen.
Most of these wealthy young men are not only children, and they cannot afford to make any mistakes when competing with their siblings for control of the company.
Now, they've become so arrogant and have offended the future wife of the Yu family. If their parents find out about this, the consequences are predictable.
The parents will definitely be disappointed in them, and will then reconsider who should inherit the company.
The sounds of pleas for mercy echoed continuously from inside the private room.
Shang Wu had something on her mind, so she didn't stay there any longer.
She straightened her sleeves, stood up, and nodded slightly to Tang Xueli.
"I'm going back first. As for Su Tingting, there's no need to deal with her anymore. You can send her away."
She was so scared she almost wet her pants; Su Tingting would never dare to provoke her again.
"Okay, leave things here to me."
Tang Xueli not only considered Shang Wu a friend and genuinely stood up for her, but she also had her own plans.
Now she has a ready-made shortcut: she is a good friend of the future wife of the Yu family. Naturally, she should cherish and maintain a good relationship with her and do things to make Shang Wu even happier.
After watching Shang Wu leave, she turned around, picked up a cigar from the table, lit it, and walked towards Su Tingting.
Su Tingting sat on the ground, unable to move, held down by two men in black. Her face instantly turned pale and ashen.
She stared intently at Tang Xueli: "What are you doing? Tang Xueli, Shang Wu told you to let me go, why are you still trying to harm me!"
"You can only blame your bad luck for going against Shang Wu time and time again. Now she's the girlfriend of the Yu family's young master. If you offend her, you'll never be able to recover."
Tang Xueli curled her lips and looked down at her: "Now you have to do whatever I want to you!"
She walked up to Su Tingting, reached out and pinched her chin, lifting it up to look at her beautiful face.
"The Su family also has a very good company. Even if you release these photos, there's no guarantee that someone won't try to marry into your family for the sake of your company's interests."
"Won't someone still want you then? That won't do. If A-Wu finds out, she'll be very disappointed."
She had already raised the cigar to Su Tingting's face with her other hand.
Feeling the heat and burning pain, Su Tingting trembled uncontrollably.
She stared intently at Tang Xueli, gritting her teeth as she asked, "What exactly do you want! Tang Xueli, let me tell you, if you dare offend me, the entire Su family will be your enemy!"
"Don't think that just because you have Shang Wu backing you up, you can do whatever you want to me!"
Tang Xueli's face turned cold, and she gripped her chin even harder.
Seeing Su Tingting's pale face due to pain, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"What right do you have to threaten me? Even if I offend you, even if the entire Su family becomes my enemy, so what? I have Lu Rang and Shang Wu backing me up!"
“You…” Su Tingting opened her mouth, but for a moment she was speechless.
Seeing that she dared not talk back, Tang Xueli forcefully slapped her face away.
"Don't struggle. If you get hurt more badly, I might not be able to control my strength, and then it's not my fault."
After saying that, Tang Xueli gave the two men in black a wink.
The men in black exchanged a glance, hesitated for only two seconds, and then did as they were told.
No matter what happens, since Tang Xueli is Shang Wu's good friend, she will not cause conflict with Shang Wu by making decisions on her own.
Following Tang Xueli's words, they forcefully pushed Su Tingting to the ground.
Screams soon echoed from the private room.
Half an hour later, Tang Shirley came out and threw the blood-stained cigar into the trash can.
Two men in black followed them out.
"Notify the Su family to come and pick us up," Tang Xueli instructed before leaving.
Soon, Su's father rushed over.
He pushed open the door to the private room and saw his daughter's arms covered in cigarette burns on the floor. His legs went weak and he almost fell over.
"Tingting!"
He was both angry and in pain, so he quickly went over to help Su Tingting up and held her in his arms.
The father of Su felt like he wanted to fight Shang Wu to the death because his daughter, whom he had raised with his own hands, had been tortured like this.
Su Tingting was in so much pain she almost fainted. She weakly said, "Dad, you must find a way to help me get revenge."
Su's father was heartbroken. He nodded and gritted his teeth, "I will. We can't afford to offend Shang Wu now, but that doesn't mean we won't have a chance in the future. I won't let her get away with this, and I won't let you suffer in vain!"
...
Shang Wu had already gotten into the car and left.
Lu Rang was fast asleep, leaning against the sofa.
She subconsciously slowed her pace, took off her high heels and placed them on the blanket, then went upstairs barefoot.
Shang Wu entered the study and began to look through the Yu family's account books.
The ledgers detailed the expenditures of each labor union at the dock.
Just as Lu Rang said, the monthly wages of each labor union are different.
If they're lucky, they can make a fortune at docks with high cargo volumes, but sometimes they only earn the basic wage.
The total wages received by the various labor unions each month were indeed different.
Even between the first and last place, the overall salary difference is several times.
This wage gap will definitely cause some people to complain.
They all do the same work, they all work for the Yu family, yet their monthly incomes differ so much. This is simply too unfair.
Shang Wu seemed to be deep in thought.
Giving the money-making opportunity to any dockworkers would likely not be convincing.
After all, they do manual labor and don't have the skills or abilities to back it up.
Shang Wu thought for a long time before opening her computer, drafting an agreement, and printing it out.
She took the written agreement and pen, stuffed them into her bag, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw that Lu Rang was already awake and sitting on the sofa, deep in thought.
Shang Wu curled her lips.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lu Rang looked up: "I thought you hadn't come back."
Shang Wu smiled: "I've been thinking about this for a long time and finally came up with a way to stop each labor group from causing trouble. I'll go to the dock now."
Lu Rang raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting her to find a solution so quickly. He immediately got up and grabbed his coat.
"I'll go with you."
"Your arm injury is too severe, it's inconvenient for you, you should stay home and rest."
Shang Wu stopped him without saying a word: "I can handle it myself. Besides, the elders of your Yu family and Lu Zheng are testing my ability to deal with things. I have to prove myself to them."
Lu Rang was about to say something more when Shang Wu interrupted him, "Lu Rang wants you to trust me. I will prove that I am capable and can manage the Yu family's business alongside you. You wait here for me to come back."
Lu Rang nodded after a long pause: "Okay."
Shang Wu curled her lips into a smile and turned to leave.
After she left, Lu Rang picked up his coat and then made a phone call.
"Gather all the bodyguards at the dock."
"What's wrong?" came the bodyguard's head voice on the phone. "Young Master, has something happened at the docks?"
Lu Rang: "It's related to the labor union."
Upon hearing this, the head bodyguard's tone turned serious: "These people have been causing trouble for who knows how long. Last time, because of a wage dispute, several labor groups couldn't stand each other and almost came to blows. We can't let them get away with this again! Young Master, I'll go with you to teach them a lesson!"
The bodyguard captain on the other end of the phone sounded like he'd been with the Ninja Workers for a long time.
This is exactly what Lu Rang was worried about.
Shang Wu has always been a shrewd and decisive strategist in the business world, but that is ultimately a bloodless affair.
The labor unions consisted of manual laborers who generally had low levels of education, and there had been long-standing grievances between the various groups.
He was afraid that something might happen if Shang Wu went there unintentionally.
...
Half an hour later, Shang Wu arrived at his destination.
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw a checkpoint stretching for three or four kilometers at the dock, where many staff members were carrying out a tense and complicated cargo sorting process.
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes, looked for a while, and then walked towards the dock management office.
She went inside and looked at the man sitting at the desk.
The man had a sign hanging on his chest.
Shang Wu walked over: "Dock manager, He Dong?"
He Dong looked up and was taken aback to see a beautiful woman standing against the light at the door.
"I am He Dong. Who are you?"
Shang Wu parted her red lips slightly: "Shang Wu."
Upon hearing the name, the administrator's attitude instantly became enthusiastic, and he quickly went over and extended his hand to Shang Wu.
"Hello, Miss Shang, I already heard from the young master that you will be managing the docks and resolving conflicts between labor groups in the coming period. Thank you for your hard work."
Shang Wu shook hands with him politely, but didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"Call all the representatives of the labor unions here now for a meeting."
