Chapter 55 Coercion
Shi Yong's eyes swept over Liu Ran, who was wearing a scarf, a hint of cruelty and a cold smile appearing in his eyes.
Then he looked at Chen Yang next to Liu Ran.
He sized up Chen Yang's clothing and attire, and a dismissive smile played on his lips.
He directly addressed Chen Yang, "Hey, buddy, that delivery electric scooter parked downstairs, that wouldn't be yours, would it?"
Chen Yang frowned slightly, looked at Shi Yong, and nodded, "It's mine, why? Is it in your way?"
Shi Yong let out a burst of hearty laughter upon hearing this.
He sat down opposite Chen Yang and said, "Haiyue Hotel is considered a high-class establishment. In the entire parking lot, only your delivery electric scooter stands out. I didn't expect that when I asked, it really was yours."
"Liu Ran, the boyfriend you found is quite interesting. So many rich young masters pursued you in college, including myself, who was a sycophant for two years, yet you never gave us a chance."
"Unexpectedly, you've now found a delivery driver. But then again, it's quite fitting. Hahaha."
Shi Yong chuckled, poured a glass of water, and took a sip.
Xie Na, sitting next to Shi Yong, also smiled with pride on her face. She said to Liu Ran, "Classmate Liu Ran, it's a pleasure to meet you. You surely don't know me. However, we are fellow alumni. Brother Yong and I are from the same year, though you were in the School of Design, and I was in the School of Foreign Languages. Back then, as soon as we entered university, I heard about your reputation as the great campus beauty, Liu Ran, hahaha."
Xie Na and Shi Yong sat down, Shi Yong's position perfectly blocking the entrance.
This subconscious action made Chen Yang's brows furrow even tighter.
The first time Chen Yang saw Shi Yong, he felt that this person was no good. He exuded a murderous aura, clearly indicating that he had been involved in no small number of homicides.
Originally, Chen Yang thought that the classmate Liu Ran had found would at most be a braggart or a thug.
But he hadn't expected Shi Yong's murderous aura to be so thick, his face so ferocious, and covered in blood-red malevolence.
Clearly, he was the type of person who had lost all conscience and taken lives. He must have killed countless people!
It seemed that his offer to find Liu Ran a job wasn't just to cheat her out of money, but likely to cheat her out of her life entirely.
Chen Yang's brows furrowed. He had indeed planned to have a good talk and apologize with the other party when he accompanied his wife here.
But he hadn't expected Shi Yong to be such a scoundrel.
Liu Ran, at this moment, hadn't realized the danger of Shi Yong at all. She simply said to Shi Yong, "Classmate Shi Yong, let's not mention past matters. Today, my boyfriend and I are indeed here to apologize, because I found a new job this afternoon. Therefore, I won't be taking the job you offered."
Shi Yong frowned and looked at Liu Ran, "Liu Ran, what kind of job can you find that can compare to my job with a monthly salary of 200,000? It's just going abroad for half a year, and you'll be back after half a year. Earning over a million in half a year, a normal person would be grateful for such an opportunity."
"But you, on the other hand, have gone back on your word and directly refused. To put it bluntly, this is a typical case of ungratefulness. I introduced you to this opportunity out of our classmate relationship. Now you've changed your mind, how can I explain myself to my boss?"
Xie Na, standing nearby, also chuckled coldly and said to Liu Ran, "Yes, Liu Ran. If I were you, I would definitely choose to accept the job Shi Yong offered right now."
"Let's not even talk about the over a million yuan in income it would bring you. Just going abroad now is better than staying in Qingzhou!"
"In a month, it will be the 100th anniversary of our university's founding. At that time, everyone will gather in Qingzhou, and people will definitely talk about you then."
"Think about it, you look like this now, an ugly freak, married to a worthless delivery driver, with no money, no looks, and not even a graduation certificate.
"I'm sure everyone else will be doing well, either driving their cars or having bought houses in first-tier cities, but what about you? You have nothing, no husband, no looks, no job, no graduation certificate, and you're also burdened with the reputation of being morally corrupt and plagiarizing others' work."
"Anyway, if I were you, I would definitely go abroad. After earning over a million in half a year, you can get some cosmetic surgery upon your return and start a new life, right?"
Xie Na and Shi Yong stood by the door, lecturing Liu Ran.
Liu Ran's face turned red, and she knitted her brows, sensing the wrong atmosphere.
Originally, she did feel apologetic towards Shi Yong.
But now, she hadn't expected Shi Yong and Xie Na to come and only verbally mock her.
It was as if her refusal of his job would cause Shi Yong significant losses.
Liu Ran's voice turned cold. She said to Shi Yong, "Have you two finished talking? I have become the director of Tianliu Commercial Building today. Therefore, I really cannot take this job of yours."
"Since you say it's so good, then you can find your own relatives to work overseas. With 200,000 a month, I'm sure many people would be willing to go."
"Today, I came with sincerity, intending to treat an old classmate to a meal, but now it seems unnecessary. Here is a thousand yuan, consider it the cost of today's meal."
"In short, I will not go abroad. We'll be in touch later."
Liu Ran stood up and threw out a thousand yuan.
She couldn't be bothered to deal with Shi Yong and Xie Na anymore.
A sense of sadness welled up in her heart. She hadn't expected her university classmates to view her this way. She had initially thought Shi Yong was an enthusiastic and helpful old classmate.
Now, it felt like this guy had ulterior motives.
Shi Yong suddenly stood up. He didn't even look at the thousand yuan, but stared coldly at Liu Ran and said, "Liu Ran, you think too highly of yourself."
"You broke your promise and backed out of this job, causing me to lose face and money. Out of our classmate relationship, I won't ask for much more. You will compensate me 1.5 million yuan in the future."
"If you cannot produce this money, then use your family's old house as collateral. I checked, and although your family's house is dilapidated, it should still qualify for demolition compensation in three to five years. It might be worth one to two million yuan then. If you cannot repay the money, then use your family's house as collateral and give it to me."
Liu Ran's face turned red with anger upon hearing this. She looked at Shi Yong and said, "Shi Yong, I never imagined you would become this kind of person. Since you say so, then there's nothing more to discuss. Originally, I hadn't made any promises to you. In short, I will not go abroad for work. Goodbye."
Xie Na, standing beside him, heard Liu Ran say this and said with cold anger, "Stop right there, you ugly freak. You're still claiming to be the director of Tianliu Commercial Building? With your looks, they wouldn't even hire you as a cleaner at Tianliu Commercial Building! Look at that爛 face of yours. Do you know why you ended up like this?"
"It's because you never knew how to be humble, how to curry favor with important people. In college, you offended Miss Qin's family, which ultimately led to your disfigurement and expulsion, and the reputation of being morally corrupt."
"Now, you've offended my Brother Yong. Let me tell you, it won't just be disfigurement, but also the ruin of your family."
