"That’s right, Mom, just stay out of it."
Catherine felt a surge of anger burning inside her. After shooting a glare at her son, Liu Yichen, he imdiately cowered on the spot.
But when it ca to Jin ngyu, Catherine was utterly powerless—after all, he was the son of the Chairman’s Wife.
Catherine knew very well that Yu Nianyao was a true Shanghai high-society heiress, with a terrifying amount of power and influence behind her.
She and Yu Nianyao were simply not on the sa level.
"Li Zhiyan, hurry up and clean up this trash for !"
Jin ngyu’s oppressive deanor left Catherine fuming, but the only thing she could do was take it out on Li Zhiyan.
"Li Zhiyan, just pick up the trash."
Standing with her back to Jin ngyu, Catherine spoke gently to Li Zhiyan, even winking at him discreetly as she did so.
Catherine hoped Li Zhiyan would back down first, so she could later comfort him—perhaps even with a passionate kiss.
That way, their relationship could beco even closer, and her chances of making Li Zhiyan take on massive debt for her would be significantly higher.
However, Li Zhiyan didn’t pay Catherine any attention.
Instead, he turned to Jin ngyu and shouted, "Go to hell!"
"Clean up your own ss, you bastard."
Li Zhiyan’s direct and brutal retort stunned everyone in the sales departnt.
Their gazes at Li Zhiyan were filled with shocked disbelief. This was a guy who had refused to give Liu Yichen any respect and sohow remained unscathed in the company.
That in itself was quite the miracle, but now he wasn’t even giving Changlong Group’s chairman’s son a shred of face.
Wasn’t this just way too audacious?
Wang Ya also realized in her heart that Li Zhiyan was probably about to get fired.
Hearing Li Zhiyan’s defiance, Jin ngyu was boiling with rage, tempted to rush up and beat him on the spot.
But recalling Li Zhiyan’s terrifying strength, Jin ngyu chickened out; he didn’t even dare argue back.
Li Zhiyan was so fearless—if he landed a punch on Jin ngyu’s face, even if there were retribution later, the fist would still hit first.
Seeing Jin ngyu standing there, not daring to make a sound, Li Zhiyan scanned the other three one by one.
Each and every one of them averted their gaze. It really was true—the world only bullies the weak and fears the strong.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Li Zhiyan turned around and walked straight out of the sales departnt.
...
Once outside, Li Zhiyan still felt a surge of satisfaction in his chest.
No matter what, he couldn’t stomach that face-slapping humiliation just now.
Thinking about the way those three avoided his eyes while backing down, Li Zhiyan felt a sense of cathartic triumph in his heart.
Arriving at the Lottery Store, Li Zhiyan claid his modest prize money. His savings now sat at 970,000.
"Almost a millionaire now, huh."
Li Zhiyan couldn’t help but feel quite anticipatory about hitting the millionaire mark.
Shortly after stepping out, Li Zhiyan received a call from Evelyn.
"Hello, President Jiang."
Li Zhiyan knew full well that this mixed-race mature woman and Catherine both had dubious intentions. They wanted to use despicable tactics to control him,
turning him into their subservient plaything. However, Li Zhiyan couldn’t deny that when they expressed concern for him,
it gave him a strange sense of enjoynt—it felt like watching a theatrical performance.
"Li Zhiyan, you’re too reckless."
"You’ve embarrassed Young Master Jin again in public. You’re likely in real trouble this ti."
At this mont, Evelyn’s concern sounded genuinely sincere. She hadn’t yet succeeded in turning Li Zhiyan into her pawn to undermine Catherine.
She also didn’t want him to lose his job, but she was already crafting a backup plan in her head.
If Li Zhiyan really got fired, she would bring him to her own company,
making it even easier to entrap him. Thinking of Catherine and Li Zhiyan kissing passionately, Evelyn’s heart filled with resentnt.
The determination to gain control over Li Zhiyan grew even stronger within her.
"Doesn’t matter."
"You reckless boy, sigh. Aunt will go find the Chairman’s Wife later to plead for you. But if it doesn’t work, there’s nothing more I can do."
"Thank you, President Jiang."
Li Zhiyan offered a deliberately insincere thanks, making Evelyn quietly pleased—this brat was clearly starting to fall in line.
"Alright, go focus on your work. Aunt will do her best to ensure you keep your job."
Just as Evelyn hung up, Aunt’s call ca through.
"Hello, Zaizai, what are you up to?"
From Aunt’s voice, it was evident she was drinking.
"Aunt, I just left the office. Did Aunt Rong stop by your place?"
"If she were here, would I be calling you right now?"
"Co over, Zaizai. Aunt’s waiting for you."
"Alright, I got it."
Thinking of Aunt’s gorgeous, alluring face, Li Zhiyan couldn’t suppress a twinge of excitent building inside him.
Soon after, Li Zhiyan headed straight to Aunt’s villa.
Arriving outside, Li Zhiyan didn’t see Aunt Rong’s car in the nearby lot, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the sa ti, he acknowledged how particularly resourceful Aunt Rong’s daughter was—calling her mother ho for dinner every night.
Of course, if it weren’t for Liu Xiaoxiao, Aunt Rong wouldn’t have been able to keep things together until now.
As he reached the front door, Aunt sprinted out from the living room to greet him.
"Zaizai, Aunt’s here!"
