I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

They answered very quickly.

“Hey, Committee Member Gao! How did your Lu family manage to raise such people?” Lin Yumeng said, her voice trembling with tears. “I told Chen Ya that you had already spoken to them, but they said your words were useless and indirectly caused me to have a conflict with the shop assistants here.”

Gao Jinliang raised his eyebrows: "Is that so?"

"How could there not be? Tell me, what kind of people are in your Lu family! Is the Lu family about to fall apart, and your words no longer carry weight? I think I'd better not call you anymore, I'll go directly to Director Cao."

Upon hearing this, Gao Jinliang became anxious and quickly stopped her, saying, "No, Miss Lin, don't worry. Chen Ya is a bit of a character, but I will definitely handle this matter properly and give you a satisfactory answer."

How do you plan to resolve this properly?

"Anyway, it will definitely make you feel better."

Only after this point did Lin Yumeng reluctantly agree.

She had just hung up the phone when an employee ran over from a short distance away, hurriedly saying:

"Mr. Jia is here!"

Chapter 244 You'll Be in Trouble

"Mr. Jia is here?" Su Yeqing turned around abruptly.

"Mr. Jia is here!" Zhu Hongbao stood up excitedly.

Mr. Jia's real name is Jia Shifei, but few people dare to call him by that name directly.

His true identity is a secret to most people, but those who know a little about the inside story describe him as: famous throughout Hanoi.

The phrase "famous throughout Hanoi" means that when people come before him, they must bow their heads and respectfully address him as "Mr. Jia."

Few people know that he is behind the Fireworks Tower. Of course, this small place, which serves the aristocratic families, would have had a hard time gaining a foothold among them, let alone establishing such a renowned brand, without the backing of a famous figure like him.

As the behind-the-scenes owner of the fireworks restaurant, he rarely comes here.

Zhu Hongbao had no idea that he would come here today. He had been repeating to Su Yeqing that he wanted to tell Mr. Jia, but that was just a pretext. In reality, he didn't dare to tell Mr. Jia anything like that.

It was just a trivial matter; how could he dare to bother Jia Shifei?

Mr. Jia's unexpected appearance here today is exactly what I wanted. It's not an overreaction for him to casually mention Su Yeqing to Mr. Jia.

He glanced at Su Yeqing with a smug look, and Su Yeqing was somewhat taken aback and annoyed by his smug gaze.

She didn't take Zhu Hongbao's threat seriously at first, thinking she could just let it go. She knew perfectly well that Zhu Hongbao wouldn't bother Mr. Jia with something like this.

Who knew that man proposes, God disposes, and Mr. Jia just happened to come today?

As everyone held their breath and waited quietly for Jia Shifei to arrive, a gaunt and thin figure appeared before them at the entrance of the Fireworks Tower.

He was just a thin, bony old man. He wasn't bald, but with his hands behind his back, he strolled around like a retired old man taking a walk. There was no sign of him being "famous throughout Hanoi".

Upon seeing the real person, Miao Aoxue was immediately disappointed. She nudged Li Jiayi beside her with her elbow and asked in a low voice:

"Who exactly is Mr. Jia? Why does he seem like he has a very powerful background? He looks quite ordinary to me."

Li Jiayi smiled wryly: "Keep your voice down, or do you believe that if someone hears you saying this today, you'll be dealt with tomorrow?"

Miao Aoxue shrank her neck: "I'm scared."

Li Jia looked up at the old man and whispered, "My dad is the president of the Xuanyuan Chamber of Commerce. You tell me, isn't that awesome?"

Miao Aoxue looked at him and asked, "Is that even a question? What's wrong?"

“Once, he was drunk and accidentally bumped into another car. Someone said it might be Mr. Jia’s car,” Li Jiayi said. “He was so scared that he made more than a dozen phone calls on the spot to make sure it wasn’t Mr. Jia’s car before he breathed a sigh of relief.”

Miao Aoxue's eyes widened: "He...is he really that ruthless?"

“It’s not that it’s brutal… but rather…” Li Jiayi thought for a long time but couldn’t find the right word, “Okay, it’s just brutal.”

The "ruthless" old man, Jia Shifei, slowly walked over to Su Yeqing and Zhu Hongbao with his hands behind his back, and looked them over.

He first stared at Su Yeqing with his eyes. Because he was not tall, he looked up at her from below. Su Yeqing stood there with her hands behind her back, graceful and elegant, like a female soldier standing at attention.

After looking at her, Jia Shifei walked up to Zhu Hongbao with his hands behind his back, circled around him, and made Zhu Hongbao dare not breathe.

“You have something to say,” Mr. Jia said to Zhu Hongbao. “You have at least three sentences to say.”

Zhu Hongbao was stunned for a moment before tentatively asking, "Su Yeqing...did she get into trouble?"

Mr. Jia's expression was a half-smile, seemingly a slight nod, as he said, "Anything else?"

Zhu Hongbao was greatly encouraged and continued, "She offended our major client, and I'm trying to find a way to make amends."

"Hmm, anything else?"

“I think she’s not suited for this job and should be kicked out.” At this point, Zhu Hongbao finally revealed his true intentions.

After listening, he nervously waited for Mr. Jia to speak, but Jia Shifei smiled and stared at him for a long time, making him feel uneasy and his scalp tingled.

Finally, Mr. Jia's face suddenly turned cold, and he said, "It's not those three sentences."

The old man sat on the sofa, crossed his legs in the most uncouth way, pulled a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it with his own lighter.

"Today I received a call from an old friend. He hadn't contacted me for a long time. I was very happy to receive his call. In fact, I was overjoyed."

Jia Shifei pursed his lips, smoking as he spoke. At this point, he took a deep breath and exhaled a smoke ring with a "pop," instantly filling his face with smoke.

“But what he said made me fall from the heaven of happiness to the hell in an instant,” Jia Shifei said. “He was very unhappy, he was very angry. And the reason for his anger was caused by someone.”

Jia Shifei sat there, his sharp gaze fixed on Zhu Hongbao and Lin Yumeng, his scalpel-like eyes seeming to dissect the two of them.

“He got angry, so I got angry too. When I got angry, someone else was going to suffer,” Jia Shifei said slowly.

Zhu Hongbao was a little confused at first, but the more he listened, the clearer he understood. By the end, he almost wanted to raise both hands and applaud.

Jia Shifei received a call from a friend. Wasn't that friend Director Cao, Lin Yumeng's backer?

The fact that Director Cao is unhappy means that Chen Ya and Su Yeqing have teamed up to make Lin Yumeng unhappy.

Mr. Jia is unhappy, so Su Yeqing is going to be dealt with. I'm going to step up! Yay!

Zhu Hongbao almost wanted to shout out in his heart.

Jia Shifei looked at Zhu Hongbao, then suddenly stood up and kicked him in the waist.

Despite Jia Shifei's thin frame, his kick was both cunning and vicious. Zhu Hongbao felt a powerful force and was sent flying.

"Oh my goodness!"

Zhu Hongbao screamed and collapsed to the ground like a cabbage.

"I'm innocent, Mr. Jia! It has nothing to do with me!" Zhu Hongbao cried on the ground.

Jia Shifei looked at him, his eyes filled with disgust:

"I get angry just seeing you look like a eunuch. What are you accusing me of? Didn't you offend Mr. Chen? I'm going to get you!"

The name "Mr. Chen" lingered in Zhu Hongbao's mind for a long time, but he couldn't remember which Mr. Chen it was. He had only heard the name Chen Ya, but had never met Chen Ya, so he couldn't match "Mr. Chen" with Chen Ya. He immediately cried out in grievance even louder.

Jia Shifei said fiercely, "I can't deal with outsiders, but I can deal with you, you dog, as a way to vent my anger. You owe me three million, when the hell are you going to pay it back?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongbao smiled ingratiatingly and said cautiously, "Mr. Jia, I'm a little short on cash lately..."

"When are you ever short of money?" Jia Shifei said disgustedly, kicking him again and knocking him to the ground once more. "You're out. You're not allowed to show your face anywhere in this store from now on. Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I see you."

Zhu Hongbao was stunned and started crying out on the spot:

"Mr. Jia! Please don't do this, Mr. Jia! I've worked hard all these years, even if I haven't made any great contributions. I'm bankrupt now, and if I don't get my share of the profits from the fireworks tower, I'll starve to death on the streets, Mr. Jia!"

Jia Shifei said, "You have neither merit nor hard work. I only took you in here to freeload because of our old friendship. Xiao Su is the one doing all the business. Do you think I don't know that? I don't care if you starve to death. It would be best if you starved to death."

Zhu Hongbao had never heard such heartless words in his entire life. If he had been faking his tears just now, he now felt like he was really crying.

However, just as he was wallowing in melancholy, Jia Shifei picked up his shoes twice and said:

"Did you hear what I just said? You're out! That starts now. If you stay here any longer, don't blame me for starting to hit you!"

Zhu Hongbao hugged his leg and wiped his snot all over Mr. Jia's trouser leg:

"Mr. Jia, please give me another chance, just one more time..."

Jia Shifei didn't have time to waste words with him. He waved his hand and said to the employees beside him, "Grab your weapons, sticks, shovels, anything will do..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongbao was terrified. He knew that Jia Shifei was a man of his word, and he would never joke with him or just scare him.

So he ran away as fast as he could, and when he got outside, a scream still escaped his throat. It was because he didn't know what to do with his life anymore, and the sound of despair was emanating from his throat involuntarily.

This swift and decisive combo drove Zhu Hongbao away in an instant.

Su Yeqing stood there, stunned, as if in a dream.

That's it...?

She had thought Mr. Jia had come to deal with her!

Moreover, Mr. Jia's words just now contained a great deal of information.

What "Mr. Chen"? Which "Mr. Chen"?

Is it Chen Ya, Chen Ya's father, or someone else?

If it were Chen Ya, how could Chen Ya possibly know Mr. Jia? The two are not only vastly different in age, but also on completely different levels…

Su Yeqing suddenly felt that she couldn't quite understand the pleasing-looking young man from earlier.

Miao Aoxue and Li Jiayi witnessed Mr. Jia cleaning up his household, and both of them fell silent, forgetting to breathe.

Things gradually took a turn that they couldn't comprehend...

Miao Aoxue did understand one thing—Mr. Jia was indeed as ruthless as Li Jiayi had said.

However, while she understood one thing, she also became confused about another—

Why did Mr. Jia drive Zhu Hongbao away?

Shouldn't he have driven Su Yeqing away?

Shouldn't his friend be someone Lin Yumeng knows?

If the situation hadn't been so serious that she dared not speak, she would have gone up to Jia Shifei to confirm again whether she had misheard the information or dealt with the wrong person.

After driving Zhu Hongbao away, Jia Shifei's eyes turned to Lin Yumeng.

Lin Yumeng felt a little uncomfortable seeing the old man's sharp eyes, so she crossed her arms and pretended to be calm, saying:

"I don't care if you're a fake Mr. or a real Mr., I'm the customer, God. Your employees were at fault first, so I demand compensation. You need to come up with a plan."

Jia Shifei didn't say anything, but just silently took a puff of his cigarette.

As smoke filled his face, he seemed to be thinking through the smoke about how to deal with Lin Yumeng.

Lin Yumeng felt a little flustered under his gaze.

After staring at Lin Yumeng for a long time, Jia Shifei finally spoke:

“You should be the culprit. Zhu Hongbao was just an accomplice. Legally speaking, he is at most an accomplice, while you are the principal offender. I took my anger out on him purely out of spite.”

Hearing this, Lin Yumeng felt a little more at ease.

Although she didn't know who this Mr. Jia was, she knew that he wouldn't dare to touch her.

After all, she was Cao Kunguan's person. In the capital, how many people would dare to touch her?

Knowing that Mr. Jia wouldn't dare to touch her, Lin Yumeng spoke with a bit more conviction, saying:

"Since you know you can't do anything to me, then I'm asking you for compensation. I twisted my ankle when your employee pushed me. I have to appear on camera and do a variety show tomorrow. She caused me huge losses in my profile. I want you to compensate me in full."

Mr. Jia said while puffing out a cigarette:

"I can compensate you, I'm willing to compensate you, as long as you dare to accept it."

Lin Yumeng's face twitched slightly: "Then what is there that I wouldn't dare to accept?"

Mr. Jia said, "You can tell Cao Kunguan about this. You can ask him if he dares to accept the money I'm offering. You can see if he throws the money away or throws you and the money away together."

Lin Yumeng was momentarily startled by what she was told.

After a while, she thought about it again and realized something was wrong.

If Mr. Jia is really that tough, why would he need to put on an act in front of me?

Thinking of this, she straightened her back and said, "Do you want to call Director Cao right now?"

"You hit."

"If Director Cao knew about this, things might not be so easy to resolve."
