Chapter 158: Settling Accounts with Xinmin Daily



Chen Hanfeng couldn't hide the joy on his face, "Oh! Okay, I'll listen to the manager." In the past, his brothers always thought of him when good things happened, and this time he could finally lead his brothers.

It only took Chen Hanfeng one day to find eight strong young men. "Manager, take a look at it, they are all good fighters."

A group of strong young men in cotton-padded clothes and felt hats came forward. Before Huang Wanzhen could say anything, Mrs. Huang exploded. "What are you doing? Wanzhen, we are good girls. We can't become like those bandits in the mountains."

Even Xiulan was terrified watching from the side, "Miss, we can't put this in our shop. It's scary to look at."

"Is it scary?" Huang Wanzhen turned around and asked.

Huang Dongshi and Xiulan nodded in succession and said, "Scary, very scary."

"Pa—" Huang Wanzhen clapped her hands. "Good! Very good! I want to scare you. Come with me."

Huang Wanzhen led the way and walked out of the door in a rage.

As she walked out of the door, she saw a thin man wearing a felt hat, pulling a rickshaw. He bowed and nodded to her, "Hello, manager. I'm Brother Feng's guy. I'm here to pull your rickshaw. Please get in."

Huang Wanzhen turned to look at Chen Hanfeng, who immediately took two quick steps, passed Huang Wanzhen, opened the rickshaw's rain cover, and vigorously wiped the seat twice with his sleeves before quickly stepping aside. "Manager, please sit down. This is Sanbangzi. Even though he's not as strong as me, he's a good rickshaw puller and will definitely not shake you."

Huang Wanzhen thought about the distance to the Xinmin Daily and got on the rickshaw without saying anything.

The group paraded through the city, attracting many people's attention on the road, but when the patrolmen saw them, they stayed away from them and did not approach them to make things uncomfortable.

Arriving at No. 169, Ping'an Road, Xicheng District, Huang Wanzhen got off the rickshaw and turned to instruct Chen Hanfeng, "After you go in, don't do anything. Follow my instructions!"

"clear!"

Only after he nodded did Huang Wanzhen enter the revolving door. Although Chen Hanfeng was not good at studying, he had a lot of experience and knew how to use the revolving door, so there was no joke.

As soon as they entered and stood still, the chaotic hall suddenly became quiet. Someone who knew Huang Wanzhen came up to greet her tremblingly, "Mr. Huang, I'm honored to see you. What can I do for you?"

"Call Zhan Yongwen and Shen Changkun out!" As soon as Huang Wanzhen finished speaking, everyone in the back row shouted in unison, "Call Zhan Yongwen and Shen Changkun out!" The momentum was enough to break through the roof, making people afraid.

Some of them were smart and ran to the second floor as soon as possible.

After a while, Shen Changkun, dressed in a long gown, came down the stairs quickly and walked over. "Mr. Huang, what are you doing..."

"Hmph! You're asking even though you already know the answer. We're considered acquaintances, so don't play dumb and act like I've bullied you. Just tell me that your subordinate, Zhan Yongwen, gave Liu Zimo bad advice and slandered me in the newspapers. How could you not know about that?!"

"Hey! Mr. Huang, calm down. I only found out about this when the Liu family came to my house. As soon as I found out, I immediately terminated Zhan Yongwen's position and didn't even pay him the salary he had withheld from the newspaper."

Huang Wanzhen wasn't one to be fooled. She immediately said, "This is your internal problem. If he didn't rely on your newspaper, would he have the nerve to harm me? Ultimately, it was your newspaper that gave him the opportunity. I'm here today to settle accounts with Zhan Yongwen. Tell me how we can resolve this matter."

Shen Changkun glanced at the burly man behind Huang Wanzhen and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead in the winter. "Mr. Huang, we have something to discuss. You also said that we have known each other for such a long time, we are old acquaintances. Please come up and let me make you a pot of tea."

"Where's Zhan Yongwen! Call him out first and let us brothers vent my anger." Huang Wanzhen half raised her head, stretched out her thumb and pointed back.

Shen Changkun quickly cried out "Ouch!" and ordered a man in a long robe beside him, "Quickly pick up a table and make a pot of good tea for Mr. Huang to moisten his throat."

Shen Changkun appeared polite on the surface, but he was furious inside. If they were right, he would have called the police long ago. It was New Year's Day, and he hadn't figured out how his superiors would punish him for causing such a thing.

Shen Changkun had to say all the nice things he could to finally invite Huang Wanzhen to the second floor. As soon as she sat down, Huang Wanzhen pulled out a gun from her handbag and slammed it on the table with a "bang".

"Editor Shen, give me the answer. Where is Zhan Yongwen? I don't need you to take me there. I can go and settle the score with him myself!"

Seeing Huang Wanzhen's bandit-like demeanor, Shen Changkun didn't dare tell her that Zhan Yongwen was his capable subordinate. Although he felt that Zhan Yongwen did something immoral, he didn't stop him. The blame was borne by his subordinate, and he had to remember his subordinate's kindness. "Mr. Huang, I have already fired him. I heard that his family has moved away and is no longer in Beijing. You can take the 100 yuan salary I deposited as compensation."

"Humph!" Huang Wanzhen sneered and looked at Shen Changkun mockingly, "Are you sending away a beggar? Forget about redeeming my reputation. The loss to my shop is more than 500 yuan!"

Shen Changkun took out a coarse plaid handkerchief and wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead and eyes. At this time, he really wanted to find a middleman to help him mediate. Facing this group of jackals, tigers and leopards, he was really tired.

"Mr. Huang, this was done by the Liu family after all. We have a responsibility. I won't shirk it. How about I help make up for half of your losses?"

Seeing Huang Wanzhen's cold face and silence, Shen Changkun pretended to be pitiful and said, "Don't think I'm rich just because I'm the editor-in-chief here. I don't make much money at the end of the month. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and the New Year is coming soon. I have a lot of expenses. I may have to borrow some of the remaining half."

"Editor-in-Chief Shen, you underestimate me. I'm not here to ask for money. I'm here to seek justice from your newspaper. As long as you hand over Zhan Yongwen, I won't take a penny!"

"Oh my! My dear! Zhan Yongwen left Beijing a long time ago. The world is so big, where can I find someone for you? How about this? I'll give you three hundred dollars, plus the one hundred dollars that Zhan Yongwen was taken away, a total of four hundred dollars. What do you think?"

Huang Wanzhen picked up the pistol and pointed it at Shen Changkun. "You don't understand what I'm saying, do you? I want someone! I want that bastard Zhan Yongwen to pay the price!"

"Oh my God! Be careful of the fire!" Shen Changkun, who is in his forties, complained about his back and leg pain all day long. Today, Huang Wanzhen cured him in an instant. He didn't even stumble and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chen Hanfeng quickly ran to the door and looked outside. "Manager, he's already entered the first office on the east side. Do you want me to bring him back?"

"No need. The monk may escape, but the temple cannot. Let's wait for him."
