Chapter 64 Scoundrel
Chen Yang, Liu Ran, and Liu Xiaomei arrived at their destination.
They got out of the car and walked towards the office building of Zhongyuan Transportation Company.
As soon as they entered the lobby, they were stopped by ten security guards.
One of the security guards scanned the three of them and asked coldly, "What business do you have?"
Liu Ran immediately replied, "We are representatives from Tianliu Department Store, and we are here to see Manager Zhao. We had already spoken with Manager Zhao on the phone."
The security guard heard this and said, "Oh, you're from Tianliu Department Store. Please, have a seat. Manager Zhao instructed us to have you wait a moment. He is currently in his office meeting an important guest. He will see you after he finishes."
The security guard gestured towards a simple sofa nearby.
The sofa was tattered and moldy, but it was the only place to sit and rest.
Liu Ran frowned upon hearing the security guard's words. She then walked to the sofa and, seeing that it was impossible to sit on, stood there and waited.
Liu Xiaomei raised her wrist to check the time.
She picked up her bag, placed it on the sofa, and said to Liu Ran, "Ms. Liu, you sit down first. It will probably be a while before Zhao Dahai sees us."
Liu Ran paced back and forth, frowning, "Is Zhao Dahai deliberately stalling for time?"
Liu Xiaomei thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait for ten minutes. If nothing happens, we'll think of another plan."
Liu Ran could only nod; there was no other choice now.
The ten security guards stood not far away, forming a line and watching Chen Yang and the other two.
Their lips curled up in disdain.
Some of the security guards’ eyes were fixed on Liu Ran, constantly appraising her.
One security guard whispered with a chuckle, "Hey, look, the new director of Tianliu Department Store is really damn beautiful."
Another security guard chimed in, "What's the use of being beautiful? She's just a pretty face with no brains. Does she really think she can get the money back from our Manager Zhao?"
The security guards beside them couldn't help but grin and whisper, "Alright, alright. Manager Zhao's orders are to keep these people here and let them wait. Don't let them sit, don't give them tea, let's see how long they can endure!"
One of the security guards took out his phone and said with a smile, "These three brainless idiots can wait. But their newly appointed director is truly beautiful; I'm tempted to sneak a photo."
A few men then let out vulgar laughter.
At this moment.
In the manager's office on the upper floor of Zhongyuan Company, Zhao Dahai, a corpulent man, sat at his desk, laughing heartily.
Opposite him was a heavily made-up woman, who was the current financial supervisor of Tianliu Department Store, Duan Lili.
Duan Lili sat elegantly opposite him.
Her phone rang. Duan Lili picked up her phone and answered.
From the phone came Liu Xin's voice. Liu Xin said to Duan Lili, "Cousin Lili, how's it going over there?"
Duan Lili chuckled at Liu Xin and said, "Don't worry, everything is under my control. Liu Ran is a fool; her trying to get the money back from Manager Zhao is a pipe dream! In short, she won't be getting these thirty million today. She definitely won't be able to pay the salaries for Tianliu Department Store on time."
Liu Xin, hearing this, couldn't help but giggle. She said to Duan Lili, "Thank you, cousin. Your move is really effective. This strategy of cutting off the roots will directly cause Liu Ran, that b*tch, to be completely in violation. Then, let's see how she shamefully gets kicked out of Tianliu Department Store. With her poor background, she actually wants to be the director of Tianliu Department Store, it's hilarious."
Duan Lili smiled and said, "Cousin, I'm helping you this time. When you become the director of Tianliu Department Store in the future, remember to give me the private benefits you promised."
Liu Xin immediately said coyly, "Cousin, don't worry. From now on, I'll turn a blind eye to whatever you do regarding the financial situation of Tianliu Department Store. As long as you don't skim too much, I absolutely won't interfere."
Duan Lili hung up the phone with relief.
Then, she turned to Zhao Dahai opposite her and said, "Brother Zhao, our cooperation this time has been very pleasant. In the future, whatever benefits can be obtained from Zhongyuan Transportation Company and Tianliu Department Store, I will give them to you privately."
Zhao Dahai laughed heartily and walked over to Duan Lili, saying, "Sister-in-law, we are fellow villagers, from the same village; no need to be so formal. Is it not just dealing with a lowly little girl? That's a piece of cake. Today, you just sit in my office and watch the show. See how I play Liu Ran around my finger. I might even take her body and still have her not get the money."
Duan Lili's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She immediately gave Zhao Dahai a thumbs-up and said, "Brother Zhao, if you can achieve that, and maybe take a few photos, it would be truly perfect."
"Hahaha!" Zhao Dahai also burst into laughter.
Zhao Dahai checked the time and said, "I've also arranged to meet Director Hu from the bank. He should be arriving soon. You stand aside and act as my secretary. Today, I, Zhao Dahai, will let you watch a good show."
Duan Lili nodded and smiled triumphantly.
At this point, Liu Ran, Liu Xiaomei, and Chen Yang had been sitting in a corner for ten minutes.
The ten security guards around them were whispering and laughing vulgarly.
Their eyes roamed freely over Liu Ran's body, occasionally letting out mischievous chuckles.
"So what if she's a goddess? What's the use of being beautiful? Isn't she still sitting there like an idiot, waiting foolishly?"
These ten security guards made no effort to hide the lewdness and mockery in their eyes.
Chen Yang glanced at his watch, his expression indifferent. He said, "Alright, we've waited ten minutes. Let's go up."
Saying that, Chen Yang turned and was about to walk upstairs.
Seeing Chen Yang about to move, the ten security guards immediately became serious and collectively blocked his path.
The security captain looked at Chen Yang coldly and said, "What do you think you're doing? This is Zhongyuan Transportation Company. What are you? How dare you roam around our company? If you find out our company's secrets and leak information, can you bear that responsibility?"
Chen Yang glanced at the security captain, too lazy to say more, and directly said, "Get lost."
Liu Xiaomei was startled by Chen Yang's sudden words.
She quickly jumped up and grabbed Chen Yang's arm.
Liu Xiaomei quickly whispered, "Driver, driver, don't be impulsive. This is Zhongyuan Transportation Company. These security guards are ruthless. They've all been on the streets before. You must not act rashly."
The security captain just sneered. He reached out and grabbed Chen Yang's neck.
He said coldly, "F*ck, you dare tell me to get lost in our Zhongyuan company? If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'll be letting down my former title of 'desperate blade'."
With that, the security guard's fingers tightened around Chen Yang's neck.
