Chapter 541: Small Conflict
Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
When Zhao Ying finished her words, she hung up the phone. Yang Ming didn’t know whether should he be happy or anything else. Why do I feel that I have become a specialist in a fake boyfriend service?
First, Lin Zhiyun. Then, Sun Jie. Now, it is Zhao Ying… Do I have the potential of being a temporary worker? If one day I’m unemployed, it isn’t a bad idea to open a company like “Contract Lover!” specializing in rental boyfriends…
However, it wasn’t a big deal. It was just helping to handle a social situation. It was much easier than impersonating someone like following Sun Jie to her home. Therefore, Yang Ming didn’t refuse, not to mention deep down in his heart, he hoped to foster the relationship with Zhao Ying.
He thought about the schedule for tomorrow. Although the invitations of Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun somehow clashed, it should be fine if he arranged his time reasonably.
For example, it wasn’t too late to stay at Chen Mengyan’s home until 8 o’clock at night and then go to Lin Zhiyun’s house.
In the next morning, Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan met at the entrance of the Xinheng Department Store on the business street.
“Yang Ming!” Chen Mengyan was a little embarrassed to shout at Yang Ming who was looking around. There were too many people in the subway today. She didn’t manage to get on the first one, so Chen Mengyan was somewhat late.
In fact, Yang Ming had already seen Chen Mengyan. But only when she came over, he pretended to look around anxiously. Yang Ming was only earlier by a few minutes.
“Mengyan!” Yang Ming pretended to be surprised when he saw her.
“I’m sorry. I’m a bit late.” Chen Mengyan apologized.
“No big deal. I’ve just arrived.” Yang Ming said, “How is it? Are you certain on what to buy?”
“Just buy sweaters…” Chen Mengyan and Yang Ming joined their hands together and walked into the Xinheng Department Store.
They came with a purpose so they didn’t shop for much. Hence, they went straight to the cashmere sweater counter on the third floor. Cashmere sweaters were quite popular in the north because the region was cold. Every year during winter, the sales of cashmere sweaters would soar.
Especially last year, there were many people around the kiosk. Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan finally squeezed into the front of the kiosk, but some people were unwilling.
“Where the hell are you squeezing in? Little bastard, if you squeeze over my mother, I will kill you!” A man in his thirties suddenly yelled at Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan.
Yang Ming frowned. This man’s mother was far away from him. How could they squeeze over her? Moreover, look at the old woman with a body full of fat. She was standing there like a huge gas tank. It would be not bad if she didn’t squeeze over the others.
“I’m sorry…” Chen Mengyan didn’t mind it. When she saw the man shouting, she just apologized… After all, Yang Ming and she did really squeeze in.
” Hmph .” The man snorted and rolled his eyes.
Yang Ming originally wanted to argue back with him, but seeing that Chen Mengyan apologized, he just left it be.
Yang Ming noticed there was a lot of people here. Hence, he and Chen Mengyan roughly discussed on the design, and then called the staff for the bill. Just as the staff was invoicing, the gas tank woman just shouted, “Come, staff. Come over. Get the dress and show it to me.”
“Please wait a minute. I will get it to you after I issued a bill to them.” The staff member said.
“What bill are you issuing? Isn’t it first come first serve? We came first. How can you issue their bill first?” The gas tank woman said quite unreasonably.
“Miss, that’s a bit extreme. It’s true that you were here first, but you are trying out the style. There are a lot of customers at this counter. I can’t just serve you alone.” What the staff said was reasonable, but the man was unwilling.
“Motherf*cker, do you still want your job? Do you know who I am? F*ck!” The man cursed and swore. “You still want to serve the little bastard?”
” Pak .” With a crisp sound, Yang Ming gave him a slap. “Who are you scolding?” Yang Ming was already irritated by this fellow. At this moment, the man extended his scolding onto him and Chen Mengyan. How could Yang Ming act indifferently?
Originally, Yang Ming’s temper belonged to the kind of person who was accustomed to using violence against violence. So, he simply said nothing. Yang Ming first slapped him till he became dizzy.
“You dare to hit me?” The man spoke as he reached out to punch Yang Ming. The people next to him noticed a fight had started. The crowds at the counter that was congested began to spread out on both sides.
“What’s wrong with punching you? With that dumb*ss face of yours, do you still want to act pretentious?” Yang Ming threw a punch at him which directly caused bleeding at his nostrils. Yang Ming didn’t put the man in his eyes at all.With only mere strength, you dare to fight with me?
“Security? Where is your manager, Zhu Wanli? Let him come! Hurry!” Then, he pointed at Yang Ming with one finger and said, “Little bastard, don’t go away if you have guts. Look at how I will kill you in a while! Motherf*cker, you even dare to hit me? Are you courting death?”
When the saleslady who sold the cashmere sweater heard that the man actually knew the manager of the store, she was a little surprised. At this time, a woman who seemed like a store manager quickly came over. “This big brother, don’t be angry…”
“Stop wasting my time. Let Zhu Wanli come to see me!” The man said in an arrogant voice, “This is my business card. My name is Yi Chuncai!”
“You’re stupid [1]?” Yang Ming listened and said with a smile.
The manager looked at the business card in her hand and she was shocked. Then, she turned around and whispered to Yang Ming, “Young fellow, I think you should apologize to him. Let us resolve it privately. You can’t afford to offend this person…”
Yang Ming shook his head. In Song Jiang, he didn’t think that there was a person who he couldn’t afford to offend. He smiled and said, “Can you give me the invoice first. I’m in a hurry.”
“You want to slip away? Not so easy…” Yi Chuncai shouted, “If you have the guts, just stand here.”
“Who are you?” Yang Ming was flabbergasted. “If you want me to stand here, then would I just stand here? If you give me a stool and let me sit for a while, I might consider taking a break.”
“Give… give him a stool!” Yi Chuncai hesitated, said to the female store manager next to him.
Yang Ming’s physique just now, Yi Chuncai had also noticed it. He knew that he wasn’t Yang Ming’s opponent. He was already thirty years old. How could he be the opponent of young people! If Yang Ming really turned around and left now, he couldn’t stop it!
At this time, he saw a fat man and several security guards rush over.
“President Yi, you’re here. Don’t you want to say hello to me before coming?” The fat man was Zhu Wanli, the manager of the Xinheng Department Store.
“Isn’t it just my incognito private visit? But, when I came in, I noticed the management of the shopping mall isn’t quite on par. Can any kind of people come in?” Yi Chuncai pointed to Yang Ming and said, “These two hecklers also came in!”
Incognito private visit? Hecklers? Yang Ming was stunned. This guy really thought of himself as an emperor?
“What’s the matter, President Yi?” Zhu Wanli frowned and he thought to himself. The department store opened its doors and everyone could come in and buy things.
“Firstly, capture the two of them!” Yi Chuncai said, “This kid actually hit me. Bring him to the security room. I don’t believe that I can’t teach him a lesson.”
“President Yi, let’s call the police for such matters…” Zhu Wanli wasn’t as dumb as Yi Chuncai. If he captured Yang Ming, wouldn’t the credibility of Xinheng be finished?
However, President Yi was also quite difficult to handle. He relied on his identity as a relative of the vice president of the company and became the deputy manager of the business department of the Xinheng Group. Coincidentally, he was in charge of the premises like hotels and malls under the Xinheng Group. Zhu Wanli still didn’t dare to offend him.
He might not have any power, but if he really badmouthed him with a few words in front of Vice President Yi, his position as the department store’s manager would be done for! After all, he was a relative who had stronger power in speech as compared to him!
Moreover, the salary for this position was great. There would be eight to ten people who were eyeing this position. They all couldn’t wait for him to screw up and get fired.
However, Zhu Wanli had attained his current position due to the support from the group. Wu Fugui, the chairman of Xinheng Group, was backing him. But, he was merely good friends with him. If Vice President Yi really wanted to get rid of him, Wu Fugui might not come forward to protect him.
Therefore, Zhu Wanli hesitated. He was already familiar with this Yi Chuncai as a troublemaking expert. In each subsidiary company of the group, he couldn’t stay still. He needed to make a fuss every time. It seemed that this was really the truth!
“What’s the use of calling the police? Call the security guard to beat him up badly. I’m responsible for anything that happens.” Yi Chuncai said.
“This…” Zhu Wanli had a lot of sweat on his head. Isn’t this pushing me into the fire pit? If this matter is exposed by the news media, I will be the first one to step down!
“Motherf*cker, do you all know my identity?” Yi Chuncai pointed at the several security guards behind him and said, “You guys, go and beat him up!”
The few security guards looked at each other. The person in front of them was the boss of their boss. They could notice it, but since the boss didn’t speak, they dared not to act rashly!
When he saw that the security guard didn’t make a move, Yi Chuncai was immediately anxious. “Just go. If you don’t, then leave the company tomorrow! Anyone who makes a move will be paid a thousand yuan bonus!”
