Chapter 478: Chapter 478: He’s Really Not a Good Person

"Everyone, please wait!"

Seeing everyone getting up to leave,

Jiang Baoguo started to feel panicked.

After all, these people were all top figures in Jiangning.

Why did it now seem as though they were frightened by mere mention of a tiger?

"City Lord, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhou Yizheng stopped, turning his head to look at Jiang Baoguo.

"Yizheng, I was the one you brought here today. How can we just leave like this? Besides, even if Qiu was at fault first, the other party should be a reasonable person. Apologizing should not be a problem."

Jiang Baoguo also stood up.

He grabbed Zhou Yizheng’s wrist.

He knew very well who Zhou Yizheng’s grandfather was.

How could he let him go at a time like this?

"Mr. Jiang, although that is said, it’s not entirely up to me. I brought you here to Phoenix Building to repay a debt of gratitude to the owner, but don’t forget, you came here to resolve worries as well. So, it would be fair to say we are even. It doesn’t amount to me abandoning you here."

Zhou Yizheng, smiling, said, "And about that last thing you said, I’m really not sure if he is a reasonable person, but I can assure you of one thing—he is definitely not a good person."

"Not a good person? What do you mean by that!"

Jiang Baoguo became even more confused by Zhou Yizheng’s words.

They all referred to him respectfully as Boss.

How could he suddenly not be a good person?

"City Lord, in today’s society, being a good person is no longer a term of praise. Moreover, black and white labels don’t seem appropriate for the world of adults. If we must categorize, the good person label includes being charitable, enduring grievances, lacking temper, and valuing harmony—all of which he lacks,"

Li Yizhen said with a wry smile, waving his hand.

Luo Jiuying, standing to the side, shrugged her shoulders helplessly.

"Indeed, Lin is ruthless, but that’s only against enemies. In my eyes, Lin is definitely vengeful and doesn’t postpone revenge to the next day. Therefore, your man humiliating his woman and him not storming in here already shows you great respect. So, I think your visit here is thoroughly doomed. Better hurry up and leave after dinner, especially since you missed Qi Qi’s excellent soup due to your overly diligent secretary, who even took over as the City Lord for you!"

The consequences of offending Lin Fan were severe.

The rowdy young men earlier were the perfect example.

"If a child is untaught, it is the father’s fault; just as a dog’s bite involves its owner. They didn’t kill the dog and flay it to serve to you; that’s already showing utmost kindness. Let alone a secretary, I bet even Zhou Yizheng here wouldn’t dare provoke him like that."

Zheng Tianxiang shook his head helplessly, looking toward Zhou Yizheng.

Hearing this, he shook his head even more.

"Madness, to provoke him? My grandfather would break my legs and personally send me over. Honestly, inviting you today was to show your position for exposure, so you could lend prestige to the occasion. Otherwise, my grandfather isn’t really free."

The back and forth between the four thoroughly confused Jiang Baoguo.

If it were anyone else saying this, he naturally wouldn’t care.

But these four were different.

Their status and position couldn’t even be mentioned in the same breath.

"You four...you four, let’s not kick a man when he’s down. We’ve been chatting all this while, and I knew nothing, which makes this an unwarranted disaster. You can’t just ignore me!"

Jiang Baoguo tightly grabbed Zhou Yizheng’s wrist.

The more they talked, the more mysterious it seemed.

"Mr. Jiang, it’s not that I won’t help you. I really can’t. Managing Grandfather’s crises and your problems are beyond me,"

Zhou Yizheng said regretfully, shaking his head.

He was the only one at the table who understood Jiang Baoguo’s biggest trouble recently.

"You’re the one who let the dog out without a leash. Now that it’s caused disgust, you, the owner, have to figure out a solution. We’re powerless to help!"

Li Yizhen looked disdainfully at Qiu.

Just a look from Li Yizhen made him shiver involuntarily.

And Jiang Baoguo, at that moment, also turned to look at him.

Qiu’s face instantly turned pale.

"City Lord...I did this all for your reputation...I didn’t mean to... You can’t leave me hanging... I’ve been diligent and unbegrudgingly responsible all these years..."

"Shut your mouth!"

Jiang Baoguo said with a cold face, "You voluntarily worked on my behalf as the City Lord, didn’t you? Do you really think I don’t know what you’ve been doing behind my back? Minor issues are forgivable, but now you’re here stirring up trouble. Someone, tie him up!"

"Yes!"

The bodyguards at the door immediately rushed in.

Qiu, the secretary, had often domineered over them.

They certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity for revenge.

They pressed him down on the table and tied him up like a rice dumpling with rope.

"City Lord... I am wronged... I..."

Qiu, the secretary, still tried to proclaim his innocence.

But the next second, someone’s unwashed sock from three days ago was stuffed into his mouth.

He was then kicked to the ground.

Like a maggot that had left the pit of the toilet, he struggled and rolled on the ground.

But the outcome waiting for him was already sealed.

"What should we do next?"

Jiang Baoguo, sacrificing the pawn to save the king, finally turned his head to look at Zhou Yizheng.

"With the City Lord personally visiting and bringing this gift, they shouldn’t make things too difficult for you. As for whether it will work or not, it’s up to Mr. Jiang himself."

Zhou Yizheng smiled and patted his shoulder.

Although their positions differed greatly, being the grandson of Zhou Weimin,

His background wasn’t much less than that of Jiang Baoguo.

"Alright, I understand!"

Jiang Baoguo seemed to have made a big decision.

He then waved his hand to have the bodyguards carry the roped-up Qiu.

He stepped out of the private room,

And headed straight to the fourth floor’s office area.

Zhou Yizheng, Li Yizhen, Luo Jiuying, and Zheng Tianxiang, naturally couldn’t just sit idly.

As they walked into the hallway, they didn’t immediately split up to toast each other.

Instead, they all looked at Zhou Yizheng together.

"Was that scene we just played a bit too much?"

"Yes, I feel we might have scared the City Lord."

"Why did you make us act out that scene?"

The three of them were all curious.

Zhou Yizheng had secretly messaged them earlier,

Asking them to go along with it.

Zhou Yizheng then looked at the three with a smile on his face.

"Don’t worry, that act was not too much, but just right. After all, what he’s asking for isn’t a minor matter. If just now Lin had come in and agreed to it over drinks, there wouldn’t be such a big favor owed. Now with that fool causing trouble, it’s the perfect moment to take action. If we agree to help him now, wouldn’t he be incredibly grateful?"

Zhou Yizheng blinked his eyes.

As a public servant, he wasn’t just good at finance,

He was also a master manipulator.

"From now on, Lin will unconditionally support any condition Lin raises; this kind of exchange will maximize the benefits."

"What exactly is he asking the boss to do?"

Li Yizhen asked curiously.

It’s truly baffling that a City Lord would have to ask for favors.

Li Yizhen then leaned in and lowered his head,

Speaking in a voice only they could hear.

"Murder!"
