Chapter 311 - Penny Wise, Pound Foolish

Chapter 311 Penny Wise, Pound Foolish

"You... Forget it, and stop now." Manager Hao hung up the phone with annoyance and slammed the table a few times. He slammed it so hard that his palm turned numb.

Manager Hao knew Yang Xu too well. It was not that he didn't believe Xia Yu was in a relationship with Shen Yan. On the contrary, he was able to boldly take one side exactly because he believed their relationship.

In any case, Xia Yu was his classmate as well. As long as he didn't offend Shen Yan, Shen Yan wouldn't do anything to him, considering his status as Xia Yu's classmate.

On the contrary, Shen Yan would not let him off easily if he did something against Shen Yan. At the same time, he would lose the classmate connection.

The bastard was too canny and was beating about the bush now while he also did not make it clear. Meanwhile, his backstage supporter was Shen Mo, Shen Yan's older brother. He knew that the suffering would come to him all the same if he offended Shen Mo.

In addition, that bastard, Yang Xu would not care even if he knew that information. After all, Shen Mo never went to Yang Xu. So Yang Xu didn't have to bear any responsibility. If Shen Mo's task failed to be finished, the consequence would only fall on Manager Hao himself, not Yang Xu.

He not only would be exempt from any responsibility, but also he might pick up a bargain because Manager Hao provoked Shen Mo. Then Yang Xu would be promoted to the position of manager if Manager Hao was forced to step down after displeasing Shen Mo.

Thinking of this, Manager Hao became angrier and was gnashing his teeth in hatred in the office while cursing Yang Xu. If that day actually came, he would fire Yang Xu one second before he fell on a hard time. He would not let Yang Xu pick up a cheap bargain.

Yang Xu put the phone in his pocket and exhaled a foul breath. This was the sorrow of being nobody. Anyone could make a show of authority in front of him, and he could only put on a smile to please others.

Damn it! When he made it to be rich one day, he would let this gang of bastards kneel in front of him and lick his ankles or rub his buttocks.

Of course, these could only be imagined in his heart. He knew that it would never happen in this lifetime.

Then he walked to the front door, and his car was parked outside. Just as he was about to walk there, a "boom" exploded in his head. His entire body was stunned.

Jesus, which bastard did this?

He borrowed this car from others in order to save his face when meeting Shen Yan. Now someone smashed the car to a horrible state! That car was worth millions. How could he pay for the damage?

"Where is the security guard? How does your hotel do the job? The guest's car is parked here without the guarantee of safety. I will call the police!" Yang Xu was angry and started to yell at a security guard while pointing at the guard's nose.

Compared with Yang Xu's anger, the security guard was much calmer. At the first glance, people could tell that he had been professionally trained and was able to refrain from talking back or striking back.

After Yang Xu scolded for a while and eased his anger a bit, the security guard smiled and explained to him. "Sir, first of all, you are not a guest of our hotel. I already consulted the reception desk when you scolded me just now. Perhaps you will say that you come here to visit a guest who lives in our hotel. If so, you can be regarded as our guest. However, although your parking place is near our hotel, it is out of the charge of our hotel. Sorry, we have no responsibility."

Yang Xu was dumbfounded. He indeed did not park his car on the property of the hotel. In order to save a little money on parking fee, he parked the car in the open space between the hotel and the coffee shop next door. Originally, he thought it was a savvy move and could save the parking fee. But now it gave the hotel a perfect excuse to be exempt from any responsibility.

It was known that the repair fee could reach hundreds of thousand yuan. This was "Penny Wise, Pound Foolish". Yang Xu felt like weeping, but had no tears.

"But you can't just look away." Although his tone remained stiff, the arrogance was obviously less.

Yang Xu’s heart was bleeding. How many insurance policies would he have to sell in order to pay for the damage?

"Gentleman, to be honest, we indeed tried to stop them when we saw the act. But they said that it was their car and they were tired of driving it. They had to smash it in order to get a new car." The security guard explained it in a cool-headed tone. They had no reason to stop the owners of the car from smashing their own car.

Did they actually believe this kind of explanation? Couldn't they see this was a new car? Only they fools would believe this kind of bullshit that someone smashed the car to get a new one.

Yang Xu wanted to cry, but had no obvious solution as the guard was not obligated to watch his car. So he left the security guard and walked towards his car. After walking around the car for several laps, he had the rush for taking his own life.

"Hey, isn't this Manager Yang? Is there an insurance claim? Hey, this car is worth millions yuan. How did it become like this? Is this car insured by your insurance company? It looks like your company has to bleed a lot of fortune again." Li Tianci came over with a few buddies while gloating.

What? What sarcastic remark was that? Yang Xu had a fire in his heart, but did not dare to let it out in front of Li Tianci. Not only did he not dare to lash out his anger, but also he hurriedly greet to him. "Brother Tianci!"

"I don't deserve it. Now, you guy is relying on Young Master Yan who is powerful. You don't even take notice of Young Master Mo, and do you still know me? Li Tianci?" Li Tianci slammed Yang Xu's head severely. Damn it! Who did he think he was?

Yang Xu listened to Li Tianci's words and became shocked. He looked up at Li Tianci and looked at the car again. He suddenly realized something and looked at Li Tianci with surprise.

Before Yang Xu could say something, Li Tianci smiled and tapped his forehead gently with his fingertips. "It's no wonder that Manager Hao praised your intelligence before. He was not boasting."

Li Tianci burst into laughter. He extended his arms and looked at Yang Xu. "How about this? Are you satisfied with my buddies' masterpiece?"

He bluntly admitted that he let some people smash the car. His arrogance pushed Yang Xu to the point of punching his face. Although Yang Xu was ready to do it, he thought about it again and found that he didn't have that courage.

"Brother Tianci, this is a misunderstanding. Not to mention the important people like Young Master Yan and Young Master Mo, even Brother Tianci and your underlings will not take notice of a nobody like me." Yang Xu had already swore Manager Hao's ancestors in his heart. Not only did Manage Hao send him out to seek a doom, but he also stabbed a knife in the back.

Yang Xu vowed that if he was lucky to escape this time, he would be at daggers drawn with Manager Hao to the end.

"Wow, you are actually being modest. Do you dare to say that Young Master Yan didn't ask you to come over before? You betrayed your boss. If Shen Yan didn't offer you some benefits, how could you be his lackey?" Didn't Li Tianci know Yang Xu's personality?

Yang Xu sought nothing but profits. He could even betray his mother as long as he received benefits.

Yang Xu hurriedly cried and explained. "Brother Tianci, it's unjust! Manager Hao asked me to check the insurance fraud case of a former Tengfei employee. I originally wanted to get some information through my classmate Xia Yu, but Young Master Yan was already upset when I went to meet her in Tengfei. Today, Manager Hao asked me to attend the opening ceremony of Miss Yang Ke'er's new company on behalf of him. On the way there, Young Master Yan became jealous after I said a few words to Xia Yu. He asked me to come here and let me stay away from Xia Yu."

"Oh, that's why! Then, how did you explain to Young Master Yan when you went up?" Li Tianci touched Yang Xu's head with his hand and looked at Yang Xu with interest.

"How can someone like me bear the dealings of Young Master Yan? I naturally told him the truth. So, I was able to walk away in one piece. I was really forced to do it." Yang Xu said while squeezing a few drops of tears.

"Hey, look at you! You didn't lose a piece of flesh, did you?" Li Tianci looked at Yang Xu with contempt. This fair-faced man was good at charming others with his tearfulness. This goddam coward! Let alone Shen Yan himself, Yang Xu would be equally scared and pee his pants even if Liu Sijie asked for an appointment.

"So did you betray Young Master Mo?" Li Tianci exhaled. Yang Xu did not dare to provoke Shen Yan, but did he have the nerve to provoke Shen Mo?

"Young Master Mo? What does this have to do with Young Master Mo? I just went to investigate the insurance fraud case." No one mentioned Shen Mo to Yang Xu before. Even if someone did it, he could not admit it.

Well. The business of the insurance company had nothing to do with Shen Mo. Li Tianci was mistaken.

Li Tianci gave Yang Xu's shoulder a pat. "You are a smart kid. Let me remind you of respecting your boss." After saying that, those fellows swaggered away.

"Yes, yes, yes. I, the little brother, will remember Brother Tianci's teaching. Brother Tianci, mind your steps. I will invite Brother Tianci to have some tea some day!" Yang Xu had been bowing and scraping behind Li Tianci until Li Tianci and his entourage disappeared from Yang Xu's vision. Yang Xu sat heavily on the ground finally.

Now those who smashed his car took the initiative to admit their act. But what could he do about it? He did not dare to mention a word all the same.

Damn it! That Manager Hao was a bastard. It was his business if he wanted to fawn on Shen Mo. Manager Hao should not implicate him!

This bastard named Hao! Yang Xu vowed that he would let Manager Hao repay ten times in the future for making him lose tens of thousands yuan today. If he did not do that in the future, his name would not be Yang Xu.

Shen Yan saw clearly everything that happened to Yang Xu while standing in front of the window. It was probably not his older brother's idea of asking Li Tianci to come over and threaten Yang Xu. His older brother wasn't a good-for-nothing.

Why couldn't Zeng Mina who was supposedly his older brother's woman on the surface learn a lesson? Shen Yan shook his head and called Liu Sijie. "You guys can go back to the store. The Old Madame is probably leaving now."

Since the play had already begun, it would be boring if there was a lack of suitable audiences.

"Yes, we are heading back now!" Liu Sijie put away the phone and nodded to the rest of the group.

"Can we go back now?" Yang Ke'er was rubbing her fists and could no longer contain herself.

"Yes. Let's go back." Saying that, Liu Sijie started to return to the store.

When they arrived at the door, the Old Madame was saying goodbye to Yang Weiming couple. Yang Ke'er walked over and took the Old Madame's arm while pushing Zeng Mina aside, who was standing next to the Old Madame.

"Great Aunt, you are so mean! My company is opening today, and you're leaving after visiting for a short while. No way!" She said that while shaking the Old Madame's arms like a spoiled child. She then rested her head on the Old Madame's shoulder.

"You are a little child, and you always act spoiled with your Great Aunt. Now you have your own business and can't act like this in the future." The Old Madame patted her face kindly and said with a doting smile.

"Don't leave in a hurry now. Stay for a little longer." Yang Ke'er said with a smile.

"No, it's fine for me to take a look. I'm old now. How can I have the same energy as you young people?" The Old Madame said with a smile. "Work hard! I am confident in you."

"Great Aunt, thank you for your encouragement. I will work hard!" Yang Ke‘er nodded repeatedly.

"Well, I will wait for your good news." The Old Madame looked at Zeng Mina and said. "Mina, you help me walk."

"Yes, Grandma. I will help you." Zeng Mina said with a smile. She looked at Yang Ke'er next to her, meaning that she could step aside now.

But Yang Ke'er did not mean to step aside at all. Zeng Mina stepped forward and poked at Yang Ke'er in order to remind her.

Yang Ke'er thought that Zeng Mina was going to hit her and tried to defend herself by raising her arm. Zeng Mina, who did not have any precaution, fell to the reception desk aside.

She reached out her hands and tried to seize the reception desk to stabilize her body. However, she happened to hit the small plant on the reception desk, and the plant was smashed to thousands of pieces on the ground. Bang!

"Yang Ke'er, why did you push me?" Zeng Mina did not fall to the ground thanks to the support of the reception desk, but she was embarrassed enough. She looked back at Yang Ke'er with anger while holding the reception desk.
