326

t her freshly manicured nails, a hefty sum spent on their vibrant color. Her tone was icy, completely agreeing with her mother, Du Cai Yi's words!Feng Ling smiled coldly. "This is me marrying a wife,...Chapter name: 326

Fang Meijia was so stimulated by these words that she couldn't say a word. Her eyes turned red, as if she were about to cry.

How could Liu Hao Min tolerate her daughter being bullied like this

"You, woman—"

With a shriek, she lunged at Lin Meng. It seemed she was going to resort to violence again instead of words!

This time, she had completely miscalculated. Miao Qing leapt out, her long legs launching forward with incredible speed. With a fierce kick, she sent the menacing Liu Haomin sprawling to the ground!

"Momma—" Fang Meijia screamed and rushed over.

Liu Haomin then let out a wail and immediately started acting like a shrew, crying dramatically on the spot.

"Such a heartless woman! How could she treat me like this What's wrong with this family They let all sorts of people move in here! Jiao Lan (Ruan Chengyi's mother), you saw it, didn't you As soon as you left, the whole place went crazy! Your son has been fooled by that outsider! Look at how that woman beat the old lady and your own son didn't even help! Oh my God, what is going on here What is going on!"

Fang Kun finally spoke, commanding, "Cheng Yi, quickly help your aunt up!"

Ruan Chengyi furrowed his brows, feeling fed up!

He knows best what's right and wrong! The old man and his mother's affair is hateful, but this has nothing to do with Lin Meng. It wasn't Lin Meng who made the old man and his mother unhappy, so Aunt Li is just making trouble out of nothing!

It's been almost half a year, if Ruan Chengyi still can't see this clearly, then he might as well just ram his head to death. This is better than dying stupid!

"Uncle, please help Aunt walk!"

"Cheng Yi, what do you mean!" Fang Kun was furious. "Is this how you act as my nephew!"

Ruan Chengyi was cold. This man, sometimes, his heart could also be very cold and hard.

If you don't leave, I'll have someone send you off!

Fang Kun also got slapped in the face.

Liu Haomin wiped a tear fiercely, and stopped crying out to the heavens. She recovered her fighting spirit and said forcefully.

“You three are being foolish, blinded by that woman. I can't just leave like this. Your mother has passed away, and I can’t betray her trust. This woman must leave the Ruan family, she must divorce your father. Otherwise, there will be no place for the three of you in the future prosperous Ruan family!”

Actually, there's no place for this family to stay. Even her daughter's friend Lin Zi is useless and disrespectful, just like her sister, a real nuisance. When her daughter went to find her, she agreed nicely to talk to Lin Meng, but she didn't do anything. When her daughter went back to her again, she simply used the excuse that she had tried but couldn't do anything. Hmph, they are sisters, probably teaming up against their Fang family!

Her three nephews were originally good, and even when she was short of money and needed some help, they never hesitated. But ever since this woman came along, things have changed drastically. Not only can she no longer ask for money, but her work has also vanished. With three mouths to feed in the family, all young and dependent on her income, how could she allow this source of income to be cut off Besides, her daughter is destined for fame, returning home with awards in hand. Someone needs to take care of things behind the scenes, how could she do without her three brothers' help! But as long as Lin Meng stays in this house, her daughter gets less and less attention from them!

How can this be!

Liu Hao Min saw the changes in the three brothers, but she only attributed it to Lin Meng's influence. As long as Lin Meng, this "troublemaker," was gone, their Fang family could maintain the previous relationship with the three brothers!

So, her visit this time, claiming to repay the debt, was a lie. Her true intention was to drive Lin Meng away. She repeatedly brought up Liu Jiaolan, the mother of the three brothers, because that tactic had worked well in the past. Whenever Liu Jiaolan appeared, it was like receiving an imperial gold medal, and the three brothers always obeyed without question!

But, time flies!

The most ridiculous and pitiful people in the world are those who think they are something special while standing still, blind to their own stagnation!

“I’m not leaving tonight!” Liu Haomin started to act stubborn, intending to get up, but as soon as she tried to move, a sharp pain shot through her body. She must have been kicked hard by that woman just now! Liu Haomin cursed inwardly, lifted her face, and looked at Lin Meng and the others arrogantly.

"All of you, get out of my way! I want to have a good talk with my three nephews!"

Who is she talking to!

"Ruan Chengyang was extremely annoyed. 'Aunt, are you leaving or not! If you don't leave, I'll really have to kick you out!'"

He was truly audacious, the three brothers were planning to keep Lin Meng here, and she came here to cause trouble! If not for the sake of his deceased mother, he would have really wanted to beat her up!

"Liu Hao Min was taken aback and said earnestly, "Cheng Yang ah, Auntie has put in so much effort, all for the three of you brothers!"

"I'm so fed up!" Ruan Chengyang growled impatiently. "Get out, get out, all of you, get lost!"

Saying that, he stepped forward and personally drove them away!

Fang MeiJia immediately jumped up from the ground and stood in front of Liu HaoMin, arrogantly shouting along with her, "You dare!"

What does he have to be afraid of!

Ruan Chengyang found it strange. His cousin seemed more like the owner of this house than he was!

Look at this face before you. It's the face he's loved for over a decade. Although it's lost its former beauty, he still doesn't want to do it himself. He won't tear away that last layer of skin!

"Miss Miao, could you please help me Call some people from outside in and get them out!"

Turning his head, he looked at Miao Qing. Ruan Chengyang already had a good idea of Miao Qing's identity!

So, those who are silent may seem a bit reserved and taciturn at first glance. But don't underestimate their intelligence. They remain quiet, yet they use their eyes to observe silently, taking everything in without making a sound. They may have calculations in their hearts, but they won't voice them. They will only strike when necessary!

This is truly a case of "no sound, no fury!"

At this time, among the three brothers, Ruan Chengyang was the most ruthless. He did what he said!

Miao Qing responded and walked a few steps outward. Raising her hand, she patted the windowpane. Soon, several people rushed in from outside.

Get rid of the three of them!

The four newcomers nodded silently and strode towards the three from the Fang family. The situation today was completely different from that day. Back then, Lin Meng had no one to protect her, so she was bullied like that. Now, she had people around her! The Fang family picked this time to stir up trouble, they were practically courting death.

Liu Haomin was taken aback by this sudden scene. Seeing that muscular man walking towards them with a grim face, she screamed in alarm.

"Cheng Yi, what's going on Where did these people come from Why are they listening to a woman Were you threatened by her Is she controlling you That despicable woman! I knew it, I knew it. She's no good…"

> But she was suddenly lifted onto the shoulders of a man.

“Let me down, let me down!” Liu Haomin shouted, Fang Meijia also screamed along with her as she was also carried up by a man. As for Fang Kun, who was usually strong and tough, he was the most silent at this time. With a wife like Liu Haomin, who was a real gem, Fang Kun had been relying on her to feed him all along, so he basically didn't have any backbone!

Being led by two men, Fang Kun obediently followed along. He thought to himself, "Anyway, there's plenty of time in the future." After all, they were relatives; he couldn't just cut ties completely. He'd visit again another day.

Liu Haomin had always been domineering and could be playful anytime, anywhere. When she was being carried around like this, she immediately started berating Lin Meng and the three young boys, but soon, she couldn't speak anymore because her mouth had been covered by someone.

Lastly, Liu Haomin and Fang Meijia were unceremoniously thrown to the ground like garbage bags. Fang Kun was pushed hard by two burly men, stumbled, and also landed on the ground.

Liu Haomin was swearing incessantly, her voice shrill. Among the four, one leading figure, like a magician, pulled out a long sword from within their clothes. It pointed chillingly at Liu Haomin. That icy gleam, in the darkness, was dazzlingly bright, making anyone who looked upon it feel a chill deep in their bones.

"One more word, and I'll cut out your tongue!" the man threatened fiercely.

"One more word and I'll blind you!"

"One more word, and I won't let you see the sun tomorrow!"

Liu Hao Min stood there, her mouth open in a silly O shape, completely motionless for what seemed like an eternity!

She -- was terrified!

Fang Meijia and Fang Kun were also frightened, their eyes widened in unison, and they dared not utter a sound!

The man frowned, shaking the knife hard. The act was brief and controlled, yet it cleanly shaved off a curl of Liu Haomin's hair!

This long sword is truly sharp!

“Ah—” Liu Haomin cried out in terror, but she remembered the man's previous threats and immediately reached out to cover her mouth. Fang Meijia was so frightened that she stumbled back several steps. Even Fang Kun retreated a step. The two father and daughter left Liu Haomin alone, who stood at the front.

Such cowardice and lack of regard for family are truly despicable!

In light of what they've said and done before, their actions now seem ridiculous!

"Get out of here!" The man roared, raising his icy blade once more.

Liu Haomin's eyes widened in alarm, she nodded frantically and then scrambled out like a dog. But she had just been kicked by Miao Qing, her body ached, and she couldn't stand up at all. Seeing that her husband and daughter were about to run several meters away, she had no choice but to call for help. "Husband, Jiajia, come and help mommy up, mommy can't get up!"

Fang Kun stood there, not moving much.

Instead, Fang Meijia bit her lip and glanced cautiously at the man holding the knife. She stomped her foot, seeming reluctant, and pushed Fang Kun away gently.

"Daddy, you go carry Mom quickly!"

Fang Kun's back was pushed by his daughter, and his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the man with the knife. He slowly walked to Liu Haomin's side, but instead of carrying her on his back, he just helped her up and said in a low voice, "Run!"

Then, he half-dragged her out with all his might.

Poor Liu Haomin was in so much pain, but she didn't dare cry out loud. She could only bear it. When they finally turned a corner and dodged those men's gazes, Liu Haomin exploded. Her body still leaned against Fang Kun for support, but with one hand she punched him hard.

"You're asking to be killed! Why didn't you carry me just now I almost died from the pain!"

Fang Kun didn't say a word, muttering to himself in his heart: "Carrying her Humph, isn't that too embarrassing!" Besides, this woman doesn't even know what she's made of!

Liu Haomin cursed for a while, and finally Fang Meijia went out to hail a taxi. The three of them got in the car and drove away.

They were stopped by someone as soon as they got home!

In the Great Hei Tian, this person was wearing both a hat and sunglasses, covering most of his face. It was truly unsettling because one couldn't see much of him. Due to past experiences, Liu Haomin feared that it might be another group wielding knives. He instinctively covered his mouth with his hand and shivered all over in terror.

The man probably knew what these three had been through, and he laughed, saying: "Don't be afraid! I'm here to give you money. Of course, this money can't be given for free. But, this money is definitely easy to earn!"

When it comes to money, Fang Kun perks up!

After scrutinizing the man in black up and down for a while, making sure he seemed harmless, the Fang family let out a collective sigh of relief. Then, Fang Kun asked.

"What kind of business!" He was worried about running out of money! The day before yesterday, he invested in the stock market, but because of a major earthquake in a neighboring country, the stock market plummeted, causing him to lose a lot of money. He was so upset that his heart felt like it was growing hair!

"Easy!" the man chuckled after, then explained his intention, which was to have Fang Kun dig out the large corner of the wall!

"This won't work!"

Fang Kun shook his head slightly, but in reality, his stance was wavering. After all, one million wasn't a small sum!

But he didn't seem very insistent, his tone tinged with regret. "Well, then I guess I'll just look for someone else. I thought since you used to be a big-shot manager, you might have some insight. But with this money, I could just hire a few more people anyway. After all, there's no one in the world who doesn't love free money!"

After that person finished speaking, they walked away directly and decisively.

Fang Kun was dumbfounded!

Liu Hao Min was also stunned, her heart conflicted. But when she thought about how Ruan Cheng Yi had embarrassed her so much tonight and even threatened her with a knife, a surge of anger welled up inside her.

She tugged fiercely at Fang Kun's sleeve and, in his stead, called out loudly. "Wait!"

Just say it, who's afraid of whom! If those few under Ruan Chengyi don't know how to respect her, then she'll let them taste some bitterness.

Finally, both parties discussed in detail and reached a consensus. After Liu Haomin logged into her phone and saw the one million yuan deposited into her account, she beamed with joy.

This is what truly matters to her!

On the other side, because of Liu Haomin and others' sudden intrusion, Ruan Chengyi and others naturally lost their appetite for going out to eat. Lin Meng dreamed about Liu Haomin's accusations just now. Although she knew that it was nothing but malicious slander, there was no need to take it to heart, but Ruan Chengyi's three brothers were not her. Perhaps, what Liu Haomin said would go into their hearts.

The worse this situation gets, the more it drags on!

She has already promised Rong Ling, saying that things need to be done quickly. If they dragged on any longer, Rong Ling would probably get impatient. She also didn't want to give him the impression that she was a child letting things run wild!

Then say it!

Ruan Chengyi and the others aren't children anymore. After this period of experience, they should have their own values. She laid everything out, perhaps she couldn't get the results she wanted right away, but as time passed, things would eventually work out!

Moreover, she didn't want that family to show up again one day, in front of her and the children, being rude and nasty. That would inevitably have some negative effects on the child.

Made up her mind, Lin Meng told Xiao Youyou and Xiao Haohào to go upstairs together!

Ruan Chengyang was quick-witted. Seeing this situation, he immediately patted his head and feigned panic. "Oh no, today the teacher assigned me a task, but I forgot to do it!"

Saying that, he rushed out the door.

"Chen Yang, wait for me!"

"See you later!" Ruan Chengyang waved his arm at Lin Meng and ran away without looking back.

"When are you coming back!"

Ruan Chengyang didn't answer, he had already run out of the house.

Ruan Chengyang secretly praised his younger brother for doing a good job. He turned to face Ruan Chuyi and said, "Let's talk business."

"Brother, Chengyang has something urgent to attend to over there. I think we should reschedule this meal for tomorrow night instead. I'll also rearrange my schedule for tomorrow night!"

"Sounds good!" replied Ruan Chengyi eagerly.

Then Nguyen Cheng-hui turned back and rushed to Lin Mengxiao. "Mengmeng, let's stop here for today. I need to go out and take care of something early!"

Saying that, he didn't give Lin Meng a chance to refuse and just left!

Then Ruan Chengyi started making phone calls to order takeout!

In short, the three brothers had made up their minds to put it off. They figured that once they got past this hurdle, everything would be fine. Even Ruan Cangsheng, whom the three brothers had always disliked the most, was now being courted. They all softened and reached out to him, calling and video chatting relentlessly, urging him to come back as soon as possible!

Then, when this person is not kept, these three will be unforgiving to this old man!

However, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go astray!

The next day, newspapers reported that Fang Kun, a former department manager of the procurement department at Guangda, had revealed serious quality issues with Guangda's furniture. The materials used were far from as high-quality and substantial as advertised. They were often using inferior materials, cutting corners, and employing shoddy workmanship. Some furniture labeled as handcrafted was actually mass-produced on an assembly line!

The newspaper listed in detail several low-end companies that Guangda had contacted, as well as the materials secretly purchased. It also leaked Guangda's internal organization structure and several relatively confidential production lines.

Meanwhile, the newspaper also criticized Guangda's service quality. Sales staff were described as arrogant and dismissive. Guangda had promised refunds for unsatisfactory purchases, but in reality, they refused to honor these promises.

Such revelations appeared not in just one media outlet, but across five or six of them, as if they had coordinated beforehand. The widespread sharing on the internet further amplified the impact of these reports.

For everything that is booming and thriving, this is actually a considerable blow!

Following that, there were reports of tracking, with media interviewing consumers. Several consumers testified that they had bought products from Guangda which indeed had quality issues, and moreover, the quality of Guangda's service was simply terrible.

These video reports, which even aired on local stations, prove the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words." This makes the original malicious report even more powerful and aggressive!

Some consumers even went so far as to make a scene at the headquarters of Guangda!

But阮承毅 knew, this was definitely a premeditated plan!

Because the newspaper was only recently published, and yet so many people flocked to his door, this was definitely out of the ordinary. He was confident in his products, and his girlfriend Liyuan worked on the production line, so under her supervision, it was impossible for anyone to take such a risk. It's possible that a small number of products might have quality issues due to human error or unforeseen flaws in the materials themselves, but even world-famous furniture brands couldn't avoid this entirely. And the probability of this happening would be less than one in a thousand!

Of course, there must be some shady hands behind this.

He quickly summoned the company's executives for a discussion. They initially speculated that it was likely done by a competitor. Because only a competitor would know where the most vulnerable points are, which areas could be used to raise issues, and the report, at a glance, showed that it wasn't written by someone unfamiliar with the industry. The level of professionalism and use of specialized terminology clearly indicated the author had in-depth knowledge. This kind of writing couldn't have been produced by a journalist simply following trends and piecing together random information.

While I was dealing with these people and trying to get them to come up with a solution, I immediately called the police station and asked them to send someone over to arrest Fang Kun's family!

He had finally reached his limit with that family! Last night, in front of Lin Meng, he tore apart a large bundle of newspapers in the living room. It looked impressive at first glance, but what was inside was hilarious – it was just a cardboard box, and when he opened it, there were only five pitiful little squares with characters on them.

$50,000!

Hehehe, what a joke! The Fang family only sent over 50,000 yuan and said they were repaying the debt. They're playing around, aren't they This repayment is just a tiny fraction of their misappropriation, not even enough to cover it! They really think the three brothers are fools!

He endured it and took the money, solemnly telling Lin Meng that he would recover the remaining amount. At that time, he still held some affection. But Fang Kun turned around and sold him out, even selling Guangda directly. This made him feel that his attachment to old feelings was simply a huge joke!

He knew that the one who truly held sway in the Fang family was Liu Haomin! Doing such a thing, the newspapers said it was Fang Kun, but that was actually Liu Haomin's plan as well!

Yesterday, who was it that kept saying it was for the Ruan family, for their glory, putting on such a show of deep affection!

Yesterday, who was it that cried out in pain, that wailed and shouted for their parents!

It's utterly shameless!

Despite their brash and reckless behavior, it was they who turned out to be the ones in the end!

They are the ones who don't even care about half their feelings.

They are the ones who go to any lengths, employ every dirty trick imaginable, and shamelessly act without a shred of integrity!

What they do pales in comparison to what Lin Meng, the stepmother, does. They aren't even a hair on her head!

She put so much effort into it, pulling up the grand enterprise, but because of their three brothers' momentary indulgence, weakness, and compassion, it was destroyed by that shameless person!

He even felt a bit resentful toward his own mother. What kind of person did she bring back for the three brothers! As the saying goes, "It's easy to change one's surname but hard to change one's nature." Liu Haomin had such a character, and his mother was so close to her, even showing so much consideration for her family during her lifetime! They say "one becomes like those they associate with," how could his mother get along so happily with Liu Haomin That --

No, he couldn't think deeper!

Let the deceased rest in peace, and that's enough.

It was only Liu Haomin and others who actively tore away the last layer of pretense. Why did he foolishly help them cover it up!

Fang Kun was swiftly apprehended because he confessed to orchestrating the entire scheme. He emphasized that his wife and daughter were completely innocent, stating it was not out of love for his family but out of pragmatism. He knew these police officers had arrested him due to his embezzlement from the company. His release hinged on the word of Ruan Chengyi. To sway Ruan Chengyi, he needed his wife and daughter as leverage.

Before being forced into the police car, he gave Liu Haomin a meaningful look.

Liu Haomin couldn't possibly be unaware of the kind of person this man who slept beside her every day was. This was a clear warning. If she didn't find a way to get him out, he might flip and implicate her as well.

In a flurry of anger, she hurried to find Ruan Chengyi. She was furious because last night she had made an agreement with the man in black: absolutely no revealing their names. He had agreed wholeheartedly, but now, her husband's name was plastered all over the newspaper!

Those people are two-faced and have no integrity at all, they're truly despicable!

But she doesn't even think about what kind of person she is, and what kind of people her family are. She deliberately framed Guangda, doing something disgraceful. The black-clad men were from several companies working together to bring Guangda down. As for Liu Haomin's family, they wouldn't be honest for a moment!

I'm looking for Fang Kun and Liu Haomin because they are easy to work with. Moreover, it's not because of Liu Haomin's family ties to the Ruan family. They have been relatives for many years and know quite a bit about the Ruan family's inner workings. If Fang Kun spills the beans, wouldn't outsiders be even more convinced!

When Liu Haomin arrived at Guangda, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy seeing so many people making a commotion in the square. She knew very well that many of them were here to stir up trouble, and she herself had contributed quite a bit to the chaos.

She shuffled in, shielding her face with her hand as she entered the imposing doorway. The guard, a security officer, recognized her and gave her a scornful look before letting her pass nonetheless. He didn't dare to stop her out of personal dislike; he had no idea what his superiors were thinking.

But the front desk receptionist knew. As Liu Haomin walked in, she headed straight for the stairs and was stopped by the receptionist on duty today.

"Ms. Liu, you can't just wander around!"

Even a "you", front desk lady, you didn't even show basic respect.

Guangda was falsely accused, and so were the employees who followed him. The front desk girl wouldn't forget, the man in the newspaper, that was this woman's husband.

"I'm going to find Ruan Chengyi!" To this former subordinate, Liu Haomin's attitude was still arrogant.

The front desk lady smiled faintly. "The CEO has instructed that he won't see you, so, farewell, goodbye!"

“What do you mean!” Liu Haomin was furious and went to scold the receptionist. “Yellow-haired girl, you’ve gotten bolder after a few days away!”

"Security, take her away!" the front desk lady said coldly, then shouted at the security guard who had come over. "The CEO said, for this shameless person, don't be polite, just drag her out!"

"You're lying! The CEO is my nephew, he wouldn't say such things. You little brat, you dare to lie! Just wait, I'll have my nephew fire you!"

“Drag him out!” the front desk girl said coldly and angrily.

The security guard had been waiting for this, there was nothing to say. He immediately grabbed her arm and dragged her out like trash. During this time, Liu Haomin cursed angrily and acted like a shrew again. But all the passersby just watched her with cold eyes, their eyes filled with utter contempt and disdain.

Ruan Chengyi was deliberately humiliating her, belittling her in front of so many people. I believe that it wouldn't be long before the news of Liu Haomin being dragged out with no dignity at all would spread throughout the entire building!

Such a person should be ridiculed by many people!

Liu Haomin didn't react until she was dragged out and shoved to the ground, the wind blowing across her face. Her brain finally caught up with what was happening. She hadn't come here to cause trouble, she had come here to beg for help. How could she have been so impulsive, letting herself get dragged out first It's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with his minions. Now that she wanted to go back in, it would be much harder.

Out of desperation, she called Ruan Chengyi, but he didn't answer. She called the other two brothers, but no one answered either.

After some thought, she decided to take a risky approach and sent a text message to the three brothers, claiming to have insider information. Ruan Chengyi read the message and scoffed. Given that they were being sold and still happy counting their money, what could they possibly know about any inside information! Besides, did it even matter now They had already been framed by someone behind the scenes. You might be able to guess who the mastermind is, but can you expose them Those people planned meticulously, naturally leaving themselves a way out. Was Liu Haomin really that naive to think everyone else was as stupid as them

Downstairs, it's still noisy and chaotic. Even a few large shopping malls have sent word that there are people causing trouble. The most urgent task is to quickly nip this situation in the bud!

He's already contacted them, but those damn bastards, they were drinking with him just a while ago. As soon as something big went wrong, they vanished!

This is the second time!

Ruan Chengyi wiped his face hard. He felt like he had seen through human nature!

What kind of friends are those, but just people who follow you when things are good and add icing on the cake! They wouldn't even deserve to be mentioned when it comes to being there for you in times of need.

He was fuming, when the head of security down in the building called. "Mr. Ruan, people from Jidian are here!"

"What's going on!" Ruan Chengyi tightened his face. Could it be that even Li Song, his father's old friend and his girlfriend's father, were coming to make things difficult for him! They had been taking a large chunk of Guang Da's business lately.

“He’s here to help us maintain order!” The head of the security office sounded noticeably excited. “It’s Yuan Daitou who brought people, haha, he brought a lot of people. This time, it’s estimated that things outside won’t be so chaotic!”

As I mentioned before, when the lawsuit occurred, many talented individuals from Guangda left with Li to establish Jida. The security chief’s “Yuan Datou” refers to the former head of Guangda before it split up. Back then, this head was just an underling under Yuan Datou's command. Seeing his former superior, the current head seemed quite excited.

Ruan Chengyi was taken aback and immediately stood up. He looked down through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and saw that the crowd outside had indeed swelled considerably with people in uniform security guard attire surrounding the outer edges of it.

In an instant, Ruan Chengyi's mood became complicated. What did Li Shu mean by this Was he here to help him, or...

But Yuan Datou, leading people to quell the disturbance, hadn't anticipated the way he was going to be framed for it!

But the way Li Shu had forcefully taken away the company's core talent was still fresh in his memory. Although he didn't say anything at the time, he was secretly resentful, which is why when Li Yuan came to look for him, he purposely avoided her! But now that he thinks about it, apart from taking what he could have rightfully taken away, Li Shu hadn't done anything else. He didn't take advantage of the situation, drain the company dry, or retaliate against him, seizing the opportunity to swallow Guangda whole. Instead, he had invited him to several banquets, even private gatherings, but he had refused them all directly. He thought Li Shu was trying to humiliate him indirectly! Now that he thinks about it, even after he stole Li Shu's business, Li Shu didn't make any special counterattacks.

Guangda was at its peak, rising rapidly. This inevitably led to envy and hatred from others, and one day, it would face backlash from its rivals. But he never expected that the betrayal would come from his own family; in the end, it was the person he initially thought was cold-hearted who came to his aid.

It seems that all his previous conceptions were wrong!

This is another example like Lin Meng!

Suddenly, he found himself sitting on the ground, staring blankly downward. But quickly, the weight of being the CEO brought him back to reality. Now was not the time to dwell on such trivial matters; he needed to go down and contact Yuan Datou, to understand what attitude Li Shu had.

Just as he was making his way down the stairs, the security office director's phone call came in again. He sounded so excited he didn't know what to do with himself.

"Ruan… Ruan Zong, he… he's here again!"

My goodness, I knew staying behind was the right decision! This is the CEO he should follow his whole life. Look at his power, his people - they keep coming in waves! Those troublemakers are nothing compared to this.

To his surprise, when Ruan Chengyi stepped out of the door, he saw such a scene —

The chaotic crowd grew louder, but their faces were no longer adorned with feigned anger and veiled triumph. They were panicked, disoriented. When a line of security personnel emerged, their bearing clearly distinguished them from ordinary guards - they looked more like soldiers. Their imposing presence sent shivers down everyone's spine.

And one after another, similar to military trucks, more people kept jumping down from them. Their fierce figures and clean and sharp movements were truly impressive. Ruan Chengyi's own bodyguards were completely incomparable to these people. These people were more like warriors; not to mention anything else, they must have received more rigorous training.

In fact, it wasn't just Ruan Chengyi who had this illusion, even those who were bribed to come and make trouble panicked. They thought their deception had been exposed, that government agents had come to arrest them. So they shouted and rushed out together, wanting to escape. But it was too late, the excellent security personnel, well-trained, formed an impenetrable wall of flesh with their bodies outside. They stood there, under the sun, each face expressionless, watching— truly awe-inspiring, making one's legs go weak!

When the crowd was in a heated uproar, a powerful voice suddenly boomed out of a loudspeaker. As everyone looked around, they saw that atop some high point, a tall man had appeared at some unknown time.

"Don't panic, everyone, just stay calm," the man said as he reached out and pressed down, signaling the crowd to settle. His powerful voice had a strange kind of strength that instantly quieted the noisy crowd.

“We are the security personnel of Wang Tu Security, hired by Mr. Guangda's chairman to temporarily maintain order at the scene. Mr. Ruan has briefed me on your situation. I know you are here today to seek justice, so please don't worry, come one by one, Mr. Ruan promised to give each of you an explanation! We are only here to maintain order at the scene to prevent any unpleasant incidents from happening again and causing harm to everyone! So, please be quiet for now, your questions will be addressed immediately by Guangda side. At that time, there will be intervention from the Securities Regulatory Commission, the Audit Bureau, TV stations, and other media reporters, I believe it will give you a satisfactory answer!”

After finishing his words, the man grabbed the loudspeaker and jumped down from a height of two meters. His agility left many people swallowing hard in astonishment. This man was ruthless; if they didn't leave, they were finished. What's more, he hadn't mentioned that the Securities Regulatory Commission, television stations, and reporters would all be involved! Once they were investigated and found guilty, who knew what would happen – they might even end up in jail. Fortunately, they managed to avoid that fate, but if it all came to light, wouldn't they be pointed at and gossiped about wherever they went from now on

The man left, and the crowd became even louder!

But that's no longer something that man needs to worry about. He has said what he needed to say on the surface. Some responsibilities can be completely cleared. As for what comes next, it's time to slaughter the sheep! These people, for a little bit of money, foolishly run to someone else's doorstep to make trouble, without even bothering to find out who that woman on top is!

Ruan Chengyi was astonished by this inexplicable man who had suddenly appeared and defended him. Just then, the phone rang—it was Lin Meng.

"Hey, Chengyi, where are you!" Her voice was also very urgent, her tone a bit breathless, she seemed to be running!

"The company's front door!"

“Oh, wait for me then, I’ll go find you right away. Just a moment, hold on!”

When Lin Meng hurried over, Miao Qing followed behind her, along with Yu Xu and several high-ranking executives from Wang Tu's security firm. Lin Meng had long passed the age of naively thinking she could handle everything alone. After such an incident occurred, she forced herself to remain calm and racked her brains for a solution before reaching out to Yu Xu. She remembered Rong Ling mentioning that Yu Xu ran a security company with tens of thousands of employees under him. If one day she was ever bothered by someone, she could just invoke Yu Xu's name or ask him to send someone over directly. So this time, Yu Xu proved to be incredibly useful!

He received Lin Meng's call for help, and after discussing with Lin Meng, he came up with this, and generously invited the people who needed to be invited.

Joke, Lin Meng directly expressed his intention to leave the Ruan family through this. He didn't cooperate well, and Yu Xu felt that his own eldest brother would definitely punish him when he returned! Now, even if he were to go through fire and water, he was willing to do so for Lin Meng's sake!

Lin Meng quickly introduced Yu Xu's identity and that of the other executives. Ruan Chengyi had a general understanding of Yu Xu and Rong Ling's relationship, so he was not so surprised anymore. He quickly invited several people to the temporary meeting room to talk.

Soon, Nguyen Cheng Huy and Nguyen Cheng Yang arrived, along with Ly Van. People from various departments also took their respective positions. After much discussion, Nguyen Cheng Yi led the way, walking out of the company gate with his head held high and full of confidence, just as the loudspeaker had promised earlier, starting to keep his promise!

Firstly, to those claiming quality issues, please show us the products. Oh You say the furniture is too bulky and you didn't bring it That's fine, just give us your address and Guangda will send someone to pick it up, no need for you to move a muscle. And besides, Guangda will provide drinks, and if you get hungry, we'll even offer you some delicious bread!

The local station mostly broadcasts this event live. What viewers see on the screen is a determined and steadfast chairman of Guangda Group. Faced with such clamor, he simply keeps his gaze fixed on the consumers, asking them one by one. Naturally, they also saw Guangda employees, both male and female, politely serving food and drink to these “consumers”!

The quality of this service is truly exceptional!

When asked about the feelings of these employees, they all expressed their willingness to fight for the company. As members of the company, they will use absolute service to show others what it means to have excellent customer service attitude.

During the tedious wait, the television station would occasionally insert reports from reporters interviewing consumers. And those interviewed hardly ever said anything negative about Guangda!

It's not just television stations anymore, even public vehicles and subway stations are showcasing content that has become a hot topic. Most viewers have been lucky enough to witness this truly impressive spectacle with their own eyes!

In the first round of rough screening, more than half of the people were eliminated because they either couldn't provide valid invoices or receipts, or they couldn't provide physical proof.

This brings up Ruan Chengyi's quick reaction. Knowing that someone was stirring up trouble at the beginning, he immediately mobilized all the security guards to surround the crowd without making a sound, and then hurriedly called for reinforcements. Once these people started arguing and dispersed, it would be difficult to catch them again. And Guangda might be labeled as having substandard products by these people. It's also worth mentioning that Li Sheng and Yu Xu's men arrived just in time. After layers of encirclement, basically, there weren't any fish that slipped through the net.

I guess all those companies that united to oppose Guangda never expected Guangda to have such strength, did they

Then, those questioned pieces of furniture were set up one by one. There were quite a few of them, and they looked impressive. The "consumers" providing samples stood calmly in front of the camera, but their inner strength was wavering. Although they knew these pieces of furniture must be problematic, they couldn't withstand the immense pressure from such a grand occasion. Beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, more or less.

"Please have a seat first!" The Guangda employees were very polite in asking the "consumers" to sit down one by one beside them in their homes.

Then, Ruan Chengyi stood up and pointed at Li Yuan. “This is our company’s design director, Li Yuan. Most of the designs in this home are from her!”

Then, he introduced a tall and slender middle-aged man. "This is Mao Xunguang, our production director. He's in charge of everything that happens in the factory. Now, I'll have him inspect these items to see if the defects are due to our production process or human error!"

The production director carefully checked each piece of furniture one by one. Then, he took out his pen and quickly jotted down notes on paper. Finally, after finishing his inspection, he summarized his findings as he walked.

"This, should be man-made destruction..."

He pointed out the difference between human-caused damage and damage caused by natural factors. An expert from the Quality Supervision Bureau, who stood beside him and was knowledgeable about this aspect, nodded in agreement, indicating that what he said was true.

The refuted consumers, ashamed and embarrassed, lowered their heads or covered their faces with their hands. The staff quickly removed the household items and took the people away. Those waiting for them would undoubtedly face severe legal consequences!

This resulted in a lot of people and homes being kicked out, but there were still many left. Director Mao shook his head: "I don't know how so many problematic homes appeared. These things were all rigorously inspected before they were allowed to leave!"

One person immediately shouted, "That's enough, stop defending your own company. The facts are right here, Guangda, what else is there to say!"

"What's the rush!" Ruan Chengyi smiled slightly, first saying to General Mao, "It's hard work," before adding, "Actually, since our Guangda split up, our home furnishings production has taken a brand new route. Our home furnishings, I dare say, while there may be some imitations currently, they definitely haven't reached the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing. Fake is fake, and it can't become real. Real is definitely not fake!"

"Hmph, you're accusing us of faking things Hmph, you big bosses always just talk a good game. If you have the guts, point out where our products are fake! Come on, we have all the proper documentation, these are clearly your Guangda-produced home goods. Where exactly is the fakery!"

Ruan Chengyi glanced coldly at the person who had been talking incessantly, knowing in his heart that this person must be the leader. He silently made a note of this man and then raised a smile, looking towards the camera.

"Everyone, please remain calm. Now, let's have our chief designer, Liyuan, explain this!"

Li Yuan nodded.

Then, a staff member walked in carrying a toolbox. Li Yuan walked up to a reclining chair and pointed with one finger, indicating for the staff member to remove a wedge from a certain spot, then dismantle part of the reclining chair, and finally hammer the wedge into the bottom portion. Through optical instruments reflection, it was finally projected onto a small screen, but there was nothing displayed on it!

"What are you doing!" It was the same person again, starting an argument out of malice. "What's going on here Give us an explanation! In front of all these people, your big company shouldn't be wasting time and pulling this kind of nonsense!"

Liyuan smiled, very calm. "It's not just random things, it's verification! Now, I can confidently say that this reclining chair next to me, although very similar to the products we produce at Guangda, is a counterfeit, a fake!"

"Nonsens!" the man shouted, and the others chimed in with agreement.

Li Yuan didn't panic, just calmly said to the camera, "When designing at the beginning, I already considered that one day it might be copied and even maliciously framed. Our company Guangda had experienced a major disaster before, and we couldn't afford another heavy blow. So, in the initial design, I left a unique mark on most of our products, which is something that people who don't know the truth can't imitate! Come here, bring our real Guangda product over!"

Immediately, another lounge chair, identical to the previous one, was brought over.

Liyuan sighed a little. "Originally, this secret was supposed to be announced to the public at Guangda's anniversary celebration, but now reality forces me to announce it ahead of time! That is――"

She peered into the gap that had just been reopened by the staff, This time, on the small screen, a character appeared like flowing water. Everyone looked closely and was surprised. At the same time, Li Yuan smiled and raised her voice, saying loudly: "Not bad, it's a 'he' character, meaning harmony and prosperity for all. I hope that as our Guangda furniture enters thousands of households, we can also bring this 'he' to everyone. I hope that all families, big and small, will be harmonious, happy, and have a fulfilling life!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. Then, following a scattering of applause, the applause swelled, growing like thunderous waves. Even the viewers watching from elsewhere on the screen were moved!

"A happy family is blessed with prosperity in all aspects, harmony and beauty, leading to a life of happiness." Who wouldn't wish for this!

This is quite a remarkable piece of work from Guangda! Having such furniture in your home, whether sitting, leaning, or lying on it, knowing there's a "harmony" character somewhere on the piece probably brings warmth to your heart! It could also foster greater harmony among family members.

Unconsciously, some people followed suit and raised their smiles. This was a heartfelt smile after being touched!

On site, a few leading figures refused to back down, clamoring and saying that this was Guangda's one-sided statement. Putting a single character into a household involved an extra step, requiring a lot of effort. Would Guangda really do such a laborious and tiring task Besides, their informants hadn't heard anything about it!speaker, continuing their lesson. "Politics is something you don't understand. That kind of person is indeed quite ruthless, making a lot of people afraid. There are many who want to bring him down, b...
