The best thing to do is to take revenge on the Chen family, with whom I have a long-standing grudge anyway, no one will suspect my motives. And with Chen Ruhai dead, those false accusation-like last words before he died would definitely make the Yin family behind me take revenge. Instead of waiting for the Yin family to take action against me, I should strike first.
There was business between Junran and Ju En, and I had the marketing manager sort it all out. All of this business was cut off, and any further business talks that hadn’t been signed were interrupted, while those that had been signed were ended as soon as possible, and we could pay damages for breach of contract. I have also thought of a reason, because the chairman of the Ju En Group, Chen Ruhai, suddenly died, Jun Ran fears that continued cooperation will be risky.
Liu Rong was the first to get the news, and before I had time to leave the company, he stopped me at the company gate with his men.
“Zhang Chao where are you going?! You have a personal grudge against Ju En, and you can’t let Junran bear the loss, you have no right to do this!”
“You can withdraw your capital if you have a grievance, this company is still Zhang’s in the end, and since my surname is Zhang, I am entitled to it.”
I didn’t bother to talk more nonsense with Liu Rong, who was so red-faced by my few words.
“Junran is a group company, it’s nice that Zhang Jun founded it, but he doesn’t own your Zhang family, I will immediately convene a board meeting and reject your unreasonable demands!”
We were standing in the lobby of the ground floor of the company, with guests and company employees coming and going watching our buzz.
Seeing that I was silent, Liu Rong justified himself a little more and sneered, “And your status as a director has never been up for a board vote! You can inherit Zhang Jun’s legacy, but you’re not qualified to dictate the running of the company, you bugger. Don’t think you can be lawless in the company just because you have a few stinking dollars in your hands, do you know anything about business and management? Do you know anything about business and management? Do you know anything about the laws of business and economics? You don’t even go to university, you’re an illiterate soldier, you’re not qualified to be on the board!”
“What, so Zhang Chao has not studied at university.”
“I really didn’t expect that, how could that be, how easy it is to go to university nowadays, university students are running all over the place, there are more university students than dogs.”
“I also heard that Zhang Chao didn’t even graduate from high school.”
“Huh? So he’s got a junior high school education? My God, if we let this kind of person manage the company, will Junran collapse?”
“Why would Han Rul give the succession to such a person, I’m so worried, luckily Mr Liu still has the bloodlust to take Zhang Chao head on.”
These chattering comments were incessant, but my heart was silent, I just quietly watched Liu Rong pretend and perform.
I said, “Are you done? Don’t forget, Liu Rong, you haven’t found Lin Fang yet.”
Liu Rong’s face changed so much that the words stuck in his throat and he couldn’t say them.
I said, “If I find Lin Fang first, you know what that means. If you have time to talk to me, you should think about how to erase your crime. Still not letting your people get out of the way?”
The group of bodyguards behind him were still blocking the door to stop me from leaving, but Liu Rong had been pinched to death by me and didn’t dare to fight me hard.
He clenched his fists and roared low, “Get out of the way, let him go!”
I stood there with my hands on my chest, not moving. Qingqing nudged my elbow to remind me, and I laughed, “Wait.”
Liu Rong was green in the face, seeing my unrelenting look, hating me with a pa*sion, so he had to make a gesture of invitation in front of so many people, “Zhang Dong, please.”
Everyone covered their mouths and huffed, unable to believe that I could make Liu Rong’s attitude change drastically with just one word.
As I brushed past Liu Rong, I said, “Uncle Liu, don’t act like a p*ssy when your a*s isn’t clean.”
“You!”
Before Liu Rong’s face turned red and he was about to curse at me, Qing Qing and I left the Junran building.
Sitting in the car, Qingqing turned her head and complimented me, “Wow, boss, you were so handsome just now! You made him unable to let out a single fart, but why is he so afraid of Lin Fang?”
He wasn’t afraid of Lin Fang, he was afraid that Lin Fang would accuse him of attempted murder as a witness, and I’m afraid that Liu Rong was looking for Lin Fang all over the world right now.
Of course I wouldn’t tell Qingqing about this, I just laughed and said, “Heaven’s truth cannot be revealed.”
Qing Qing bristled, “Where to now?”
I said, “Back to Lu Tong, Xiaoxia is at the company, I want to see her.”
Qingqing said, “Oh, boss, take your dog food away, leave us single dogs a way out.”
When we arrived at the downstairs of Lu Tong, Qingqing parked the car and when we were going upstairs, she specifically reminded me, “You don’t know, you are now the big hero of our city, many people are your fans, online you are more popular than the stars in Tong. A lot of people in the company will definitely ask you for an autograph later.”
I smiled and shook my head, in everyone’s eyes I had done something immense, but it was too ordinary for me, I had done too many similar things as a soldier, and even now, there were many of my comrades who had done things countless times greater than me, silently and anonymously guarding the country’s borders.
But when I got upstairs, it was a different story altogether. Quite a few people were gathered around a huge handful of roses at the front desk and were taking pictures with their mobile phones.
After Qingqing was promoted, Lu Tong recruited another receptionist, and when he saw us coming, this receptionist gave a special excited shout, and only then did everyone turn around and run excitedly towards Qingqing and me.
“Oh my God, Mr. Zhang, you are too romantic, this is 999 roses eh, it must not be cheap.”
“What’s money to us, Mr. Zhang? It’s the thought that counts. It’s too rare for such a rich man to spoil his girlfriend.”
I was confused, “What are you talking about? Is this about me.”
“Mr. Zhang, don’t pretend, we all know that the roses are from you. Manager Chu has gone to dinner and hasn’t arrived yet, we’ll carry the flowers to her office later and give her a surprise.”
I scratched the back of my head, “I bought them? How come I didn’t know?”
Qing Qing had sharp eyes and found a card from the flowers and brought it back to me.
It was a very ordinary greeting card with the words, To my love, To my Luna, written in flowery English.
I learnt many languages when I was a snow leopard, not just English, but the languages of the small surrounding countries and the dialects of the places where the snow leopards were stationed.
It’s true that I didn’t go to university and I didn’t graduate from high school, but I’m no worse than most university students, but I rarely use English on a daily basis, let alone pretend to do so.
Luna is Chu Xiaoxiao’s English name, which she used when she was studying abroad and hasn’t used since she returned to China.
“It’s not from me.” I placed the card at the front desk, “It was given to Xiaoxiao by someone else.”
