Yang Jian stayed in Yu Feng's office for three days, spending his time playing on the computer, eating, and sleeping, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
Yu Feng also rarely came to the office, only arranging for a trusted attendant to bring Yang Jian his meals. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
On the fourth day, Yu Feng arrived with a look of excitement and handed Yang Jian the keys to a Volkswagen.
"Sister, what's the situation outside? Can I go out now?"
Yang Jian had been cooped up for too long, with no one to talk to.
Yu Feng smiled and said, "Don't rush. Have a cup of tea first. I'll tell you about the situation over the past few days, and then I'll take you to the police station to clear your case."
"What case?"
"Of course, it's your case. Hong Ying called the police that night, identifying you as the one who broke into the house and crippled Liu Ming. The police then launched a city-wide search for you. That case hasn't been cleared yet."
"Can it be cleared now?"
"Of course. Because Pan Wenbin's gang has been completely wiped out. Pan Wenbin has fled to avoid punishment and is now wanted. Liu Ming, Hu Yunfei, and other key members have all been apprehended. The company's assets have been seized, and bank accounts frozen.
However, Liu Ming being crippled is also a fact and constitutes an illegal act. The two cases cannot be mixed. But given Liu Ming's status, the police's attention to this case has decreased. And there's no conclusive evidence proving you are the perpetrator. After my efforts over the past two days, your charges have been cleared. You just need to go to the police station to complete the procedures later."
This news surprised Yang Jian greatly. "Pan Wenbin ran away? His influence collapsed so quickly? That was too fast."
"Of course. I handled this matter myself. Speed is of the essence. I mobilized all of my father's connections, informing everyone from top to bottom, giving Pan Wenbin and his protectors no time to react, and preventing them from seeking help from higher authorities, forcing him to flee in panic." kanδん
"Sister, you're amazing. If I had reported Pan Wenbin by mail, who knows how long it would have taken to get any progress. This society really needs connections."
Yang Jian's perception of Yu Feng completely changed at this moment.
This woman appeared flirtatious and had always shown ambiguous interest in him, but she was truly capable, meticulous, and decisive. She was a person destined for great things. kΑnshu伍.ξà
Yu Feng smiled. "So-called connections are merely products of economic interests. It's a simple principle. When you're penniless, will anyone pay attention to you? 'Poor in a bustling city, no one asks; rich in a secluded mountain, distant relatives come' perfectly illustrates the meaning of connections."
"That makes sense, Sister. Can we go now?"
"What's the hurry? I still have something to discuss with you."
Yu Feng poured him a cup of tea, her expression serious.
"Alright, try to be quick. I've felt like I've been in prison these past few days, I'm getting moldy and want to go out and get some sun as soon as possible."
"Okay, it's actually very simple, just two things. If you agree, you can leave immediately. First, I've discussed it with my father, and we've decided to hire you as the Vice President of our Dongsheng Group, primarily responsible for security matters."
Having crippled Liu Ming and brought down Pan Wenbin, Yang Jian's reputation in Xinhe had been firmly established. With his joining, the Yu family would no longer be troubled by the underworld. This was also why Yu Feng had gone to great lengths to help him after Yang Jian's solo confrontation with Cao Wu.
This invitation was incredibly tempting for Yang Jian. Dongsheng Group was the largest private enterprise in Xinhe District, primarily engaged in the construction industry, and also involved in real estate development, which were fields he was familiar with. Becoming the vice president of a group company was akin to reaching the heavens in a single step.
However, Yang Jian was also rational. This position would not be easy to hold. Both real estate and the construction industry inevitably involved dealing with various criminal forces.
Whether in a big city or a small town, the earthwork projects of real estate companies and the supply of sand and gravel for construction companies were controlled by local criminal forces. Sometimes, fierce battles erupted over project bids, leading to fatalities.
Taking on the role of vice president meant continuing to deal with the underworld, which carried significant risks.
"Sister, I need to think about this. Please tell me the second thing."
Yang Jian did not agree, but he couldn't refuse outright.
Yu Feng was somewhat disappointed by his reaction. "Yang Jian, I'm going to take over the management of the group company completely within two years. Can't you come and help me? You promised me yourself that if I ever needed anything, you would help me without hesitation."
"Sister, those are two different matters. If someone truly threatens your safety, I will not shirk my responsibility. Regarding the position, I need to discuss it with my father. My father must know about me crippling Liu Ming this time. If I go back now, I'll probably get beaten again."
"Beaten? Don't joke. You're so old, and your father still hits you?"
Yang Jian gave a wry smile. "My family is a hereditary martial arts family. The ancestral teachings throughout the ages have been not to use martial arts to break the law, to do evil, or to bully others. Since childhood, if I didn't train diligently or got into a fight at school, my father would give me a severe beating. This Chinese New Year, I lost money and he beat me with a few sticks, and then kicked me out of the house on the third day of the new year."
"Then does your father know you're working with Brother Hao at the casino?"
"Of course not. If he knew, he'd really break my legs. He's a very stubborn and obstinate person. He'd rather have me work as a laborer at a construction site than be a bodyguard for someone. When I graduated from high school, my physical education teacher introduced me to a bodyguard job, but my father rejected it. He didn't want me to rely on martial arts for a living; fighting and killing were too dangerous."
"I see. Then you should go back and discuss it first. I can hire you anytime."
"Thank you, Sister. Is there anything else?"
Yu Feng took a sip of tea and paused. "Yang Jian, can you persuade your brother-in-law to sell me that piece of land on the outer ring? I guarantee the best terms."
It was about that land again, which gave Yang Jian a headache. Too many people had their eyes on that location.
"Sister, I'll go back and talk to my brother-in-law to see if he's willing to sell. Don't worry, as long as he's willing to sell, I'll definitely persuade him to consider you first."
"Good, I just wanted to hear that. But you should still try your best to persuade him to sell. That piece of land is over a thousand square meters. It would be a waste to build only a few detached houses. If I acquire it, I can maximize its value."
"Okay, I'll try my best to persuade him. By the way, can my brother-in-law's repair shop continue to operate? That's his livelihood, and this part won't be sold."
"That repair shop doesn't take up much land, so it can be kept for him."
Yang Jian knew she had misunderstood. "Sister, I mean officially, the repair shop has been shut down. Can you smooth things over so I can resume operations and build the repair shop?"
"Oh, that's no problem. I'll handle the official procedures for you."
Yu Feng was eager for him to make requests now, as it increased the probability of acquiring that piece of land.
