"Ah, you are so magnanimous! Enough said, I'll host dinner tonight and treat you to Outer Heaven as my apology, how about that?" Lin Jianye said with a smile.
"Sounds good, I haven't had dinner yet anyway, just send me the address and I'll come over for a meal!"
"Sure thing!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang looked at Zhou Youming with a smile that was not quite a smile: "Do you still want to break my bones now?"
Zhou Youming immediately knelt on the ground and said: "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, it was all my fault earlier for not recognizing you, I apologize to you with kowtows!"
Saying that, Zhou Youming directly kowtowed three loud times to Chen Yang.
The salary of the head of the security at Lin Group is very high, and Zhou Youming really didn't want to lose this job. He was willing to pay any price to keep it. It wasn't just about kowtowing to Chen Yang; if it meant cleaning Chen Yang's shoes, he would do it too!
"Alright, get up, you're well into your forties, kowtowing to me is shortening my life," Chen Yang said indifferently.
Zhou Youming stood up with an embarrassed grin: "Thanks for your forgiveness, Brother Chen! It was all because of my good-for-nothing cousin causing me trouble today, otherwise I definitely would not have offended you!"
As he said this, Zhou Youming shouted at Zheng Taibao: "You, get over here!"
Zheng Taibao walked over with a swollen face, but before he could finish speaking, Zhou Youming kicked him in the stomach.
"You damn bastard, you almost made me offend Brother Chen, I'll beat you to death today to vent Brother Chen's anger!"
Zhou Youming used all his skills on Zheng Taibao, beating him until Zheng Taibao screamed again and again.
To please Chen Yang, Zhou Youming nearly beat Zheng Taibao to death.
Zheng Taibao was filled with regret, knowing that if he had known the young man had such a powerful background, he would never have provoked him and would have treated him like an emperor instead. There are so many people pretending to be pigs to eat tigers these days, a little weakling feels very helpless.
"Alright, you're all colleagues, why be so rough? Look what you've done, his arm is broken. How is he going to drive or contribute to the company in the future?" Chen Yang said with a smile.
Zhou Youming's face showed an increasingly sycophantic smile: "It's okay, Brother Chen, as long as you are happy, I can break his other arm too!"
"Forget about it, I'm not that cruel! Go ahead and have fun, I've got to meet with the chairman, can't accompany you guys!" Chen Yang waved to Old Wang.
At this moment, Old Wang truly regarded Chen Yang as an idol.
"Brother Chen, you are so freaking awesome! I bow to no one but you, Old Wang!"
"Cut it out, what time is it to still show off."
Chen Yang rolled his eyes at him, then handed him a King Size Yunxi cigarette, and laughed: "You okay?"
Old Wang lit the cigarette, took a deep draw, and laughed: "I'm fine, I'm fine, not gonna die. I know these guys, it was all just an act just now!"
Saying that, Old Wang whispered softly.
"Alright then, I'll buy you drinks sometime when I'm free, thanks for today."
Chen Yang patted his shoulder. Honestly, Old Wang stepping up bravely just now was quite moving for Chen Yang.
"Sure thing, you are busy Brother Chen~!"
"Brother my foot, we're all in the same boat, just call me Little Chen, or Chen Yang."
Chen Yang cursed jokingly, then waved his hand and strode off towards the direction of the underground car park.
He had not been in Flower City for long and hadn't had the time to buy a car, so for this appointment, he planned on catching a ride with his wife. After all, Lin Yunxi was also going to Outer Heaven for dinner with her father.
When Chen Yang arrived at the underground car park, Lin Yunxi had not yet gotten off work, and her flashy Bugatti Veyron was still parked in spot A1.
"Ah, such a workaholic, not leaving even when it's time to get off work!"
Chen Yang heaved a sigh, pulled out a cigarette, and leaned against the Bugatti Veyron as he began to smoke.
He didn't seem to consider that Lin Yunxi, as the president of Lin Group, had far more on her plate than he did as an idle driver. How could she possibly just leave work on time? If that were the case, the Lin Group wouldn't be far from going under.
After waiting for half an hour, Chen Yang was so bored that he started counting his leg hairs when Lin Yunxi finally came out of the elevator.
Upon seeing Chen Yang, she immediately said coldly, "What are you doing? Get away from my car!"
This Bugatti Veyron was custom-made from the factory for Lin Yunxi, painted pink and enhanced with some high-tech decorations. It was very cool and Lin Yunxi loved it dearly. So when she saw Chen Yang leaning on her beloved car and smoking, a hint of anger stirred in her heart.
Chen Yang threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said with a smile to Lin Yunxi, "I'm waiting for my precious wife to get off work and then I'll take you out to dinner! How's that, isn't it thoughtful? With a slow motion, left hand to right hand, have you fallen for me yet?"
Lin Yunxi's eyes conveyed a loathing expression as she said, "Can you stop being so narcissistic? I've told you many times, I will absolutely not fall in love with a hooligan like you. Please don't harbor any illusions!"
She had always longed for a romantic love of her own choosing and was utterly dismayed when her father suddenly arranged her marriage. However, she couldn't blame her father and, therefore, directed all her anger towards Chen Yang.
Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Yang chuckled, "My precious wife, you shouldn't speak so absolute. Someone as outstanding as me—someday you'll fall for me. Maybe for my robustness, maybe for my talents, maybe for..."
Before he could finish, Lin Yunxi spat at his feet in disgust and cursed, "Scoundrel!"
Afterward, she opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and started the vehicle.
Chen Yang tried to open the passenger door, but found it was locked.
"Sweetie, open the door! Give me a lift, I'll go to Outer Heaven with you!" Chen Yang said, pounding on the car door.
Lin Yunxi was unmoved. She stepped on the gas pedal and the Bugatti Veyron sped off.
The casual, teasing words from Chen Yang had irked Lin Yunxi greatly. If it weren't for Chen Yang being her husband in the eyes of the law, she would have called the police to report sexual harassment.
Chen Yang looked bewildered at the departing Bugatti Veyron, clueless as to what he had done wrong. The things he said just now would be considered extremely conservative abroad; he had no idea why that woman would be angry.
Right then, Chen Yang's phone suddenly rang; it was Lin Jianye calling.
Chen Yang answered the phone, "Hello, father-in-law, what's up?"
Lin Jianye laughed and said, "Nothing much, just wanted to check if you've left yet?"
"Left my ass! I wanted to hitch a ride with my wife, but she flat-out refused! How am I supposed to find Outer Heaven when I'm a stranger in Flower City?" complained Chen Yang.
"What? How could Yunxi do such a thing?" Lin Jianye said angrily, "I'll call her and tell her to come back for you!"
Chen Yang sighed, "Forget it. Judging by the look on my dear wife's face, she seemed like she wanted to eat me alive! She definitely won't come back for me. I better quietly take a taxi there."
"How could that be alright? How can I let you take a taxi? I'll arrange for my assistant to pick you up. Just wait at the group building entrance for a while!"
"That... How could I possibly impose?" Chen Yang scratched his head, "Is your assistant pretty?"
Lin Jianye burst into laughter: "You can rest assured on that. My taste is not bad; the assistant I chose is very pretty. She'll definitely be a feast for your eyes!"
"Well, that sounds good. Worth the wait then!" Chen Yang said as he walked towards the entrance of the group building.
The moment he arrived at the entrance, Wang Dashun and a group of drivers just happened to walk out of the group building.
Upon seeing Chen Yang, Wang Dashun approached with a full smile and wrapped his arm around Chen Yang's shoulder, "Brother, haven't left yet?"
Chen Yang nodded, "Waiting for someone to pick me up. You guys go ahead!"
Wang Dashun laughed, "True to being the chairman's son-in-law, while we all serve as drivers for others, you've got someone to drive you!"
Other drivers chimed in, "Old Wang, that's a strange thing to ask. If Brother Chen weren't the chairman's son-in-law, could he manage to handle Team Captain He and Minister Zhou so obediently? Brother Chen is simply an idol in my eyes. Brother Chen, give me an autograph!"
