Chapter 324: Chapter 324: What do you think you are!

Although Chen Feng’s resolute intervention had given Yang Dashan a sliver of hope, he was about to confront the boss of the Liu Family Village Construction Company, his direct superior.

To say he wasn’t nervous would be bullshit.

And today, he was here to collect debts, plus having been sent away several times before, his visit today was especially nerve-wracking, his palms already drenched in sweat.

"Who’s there?"

The moment the knocking stopped, an extremely impatient voice came from inside the office.

Hearing this, Yang Dashan pushed open the door and entered, smiling sheepishly, "Director Liu, it’s me!"

Behind the large desk in the office sat a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt, his beer belly pushing forward.

Around the man’s neck hung a particularly thick gold chain, and he was puffing on a cigar, exuding the air of a vulgar nouveau riche.

He was leaning back in a comfortable leather office chair, and in his lap sat a petite, young girl dressed in a black blazer.

The man’s hands were roaming unchecked over the girl’s body.

The girl’s face was flushed with a mixture of hesitancy and resistance.

Upon seeing Yang Dashan enter, she yelped, quickly jumped out of the middle-aged man’s embrace, and moved to the side to straighten out her creased clothes.

The middle-aged man’s expression immediately soured, especially upon seeing Yang Dashan, growing even more livid.

"Did I allow you to come in?"

The middle-aged man glared at Yang Dashan with fury and barked.

"Uh... Director Liu, I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect you guys were..."

Yang Dashan also realized he had interrupted the middle-aged man at a bad time and quickly tried to apologize with a smile.

There was no helping it; in these times, those in debt are the true ’lords’—one could only serve them carefully.

"Hmph!"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly at Yang Dashan and turned his head to glance at the girl with a greedy look, saying briskly, "Alright, you go down first. Remember to wait for me in my car after work!"

"Oh... okay."

The girl replied softly with a flushed face and hurriedly left the office.

The middle-aged man watched the departing figure of the young girl, especially her graceful figure, with a lecherous smirk curling at the corner of his mouth.

The girl had only recently joined the company; young, beautiful, and shapely, he quickly took her as his secretary.

Just moments ago, with nothing better to do, he had planned to have his way with her in the office, experiencing the thrill of an office romance.

But his plan was foiled by Yang Dashan’s sudden appearance, and the duck that was nearly in his grasp flew away.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man’s resentment toward Yang Dashan peaked.

"Director Liu, may I ask, can I come in now?"

Yang Dashan clearly didn’t know what was going on in the middle-aged man’s mind as he looked toward him with an embarrassed smile and asked.

"What are you here for again? Haven’t I already said that the company’s funds are tight, and there’s no money for your salaries? Let’s talk about it later; I’m busy now, please leave!"

The middle-aged man clearly had no interest in letting Yang Dashan enter and intended to send him away with just a few words.

This left Yang Dashan, who was just about to step through the door, frozen in place, quite embarrassed.

With no other choice, he turned to look back at Chen Feng, hoping for a solution.

Chen Feng, seeing Yang Dashan’s glance, smiled slightly and without another word, walked straight into the office.

Yang Dashan paused, wanting to stop him, but Chen Feng had already entered,

so he had no choice but to quickly follow.

It was a case of trying anything in desperation.

"I told you to leave, didn’t I? Hurry up and don’t hinder my work, or you’ll never get your wages!"

The middle-aged man, bent over the documents on the desk, heard footsteps entering and assumed it was Yang Dashan disobediently coming in on his own, which annoyed him, and he said coldly.

However, the footsteps did not stop but came closer and eventually stopped right in front of the desk.

This made the middle-aged man’s face darken as he looked up sharply, glaring at the figure before him in anger, "Yang Dashan, you’ve got some nerve..."

But before the middle-aged man could finish, he froze.

Because he realized that the person standing before him was not Yang Dashan, but a strange young man.

The young man was smiling at him.

That smile, for some reason, sent chills down his spine.

The middle-aged man furrowed his brows and asked with a dark expression, "Who are you? Why have you entered my office without permission?"

"Who I am is not important. What’s important is my purpose!"

Chen Feng sat down directly opposite the middle-aged man and said indifferently.

"What purpose?"

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, puzzled.

"Debts must be paid. I’m here to collect on behalf of Captain Yang and the group of workers at the construction site!"

Chen Feng said with a slight smirk.

"Hahaha, just you? You’re here to collect for them? Who do you think you are!"

The middle-aged man first stared in surprise, then burst into laughter, brimming with scorn and contempt.

He turned his head to look at Yang Dashan, who stood nearby, and sneered, "Old Yang, I’ve already made myself clear. The company has no money. Your wages will have to wait. We can settle it once money comes in. Everything is negotiable. But what’s this you’re doing today? Bringing this greenhorn to help you collect debts? Are you sure you haven’t lost your mind?"

"Director Liu, it’s been half a year since we received our wages. Dozens of brothers at the construction site are counting on sending money back home for their children’s school fees. We really can’t delay any longer; life is becoming unbearable!"

Yang Dashan said with a pained expression.

"Are you deaf? How many times do I have to tell you? I don’t have money right now! Not to mention your wages, even my company is barely staying afloat. And you still bring up wages? Take this greenhorn and get lost. Keep nagging, and you’ll never see your wages for as long as you live!"

The middle-aged man glared at Yang Dashan with a dark face.

As for his claims of having no money and the company barely staying afloat, it was all nonsense.

The Liu Family Village Construction Company had made a tidy profit in recent years with Jiangnan’s help.

Plainly put, he just didn’t want to pay!

"Maybe... maybe we should go?"

Yang Dashan hesitated for a moment, looking at Chen Feng with a bitter face and asked.

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, then turned to look at the middle-aged man and said, "So you’re dead set on not paying the wages, is that it?"
