Chapter 132: Chapter 135 He is my friend

(Here’s the fourth update of the day, thank you to the readers for the rewards from *censored* and Liangliang DouDou, thank you!)

————————————

"Don’t you know the rules here? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? Do you think Jingyue Pavilion is some fast-food joint outside? You actually believe in theft? Even if such a thing really happened, do you have the authority to deal with it? I have always emphasized that Jingyue Pavilion isn’t just any restaurant or tavern—it’s a high-class club! Every customer who comes in here is your God! Did that go in one ear and out the other? You actually let people submit to your investigation? Are you a police officer or a judge? What damned right do you have to investigate others?"

Chen Jianguo got angrier the more he thought about it, and the more he cursed, the more his anger flared up. He hadn’t used foul language for over a decade or two, but he suddenly let out several swears in a row, his speech becoming somewhat incoherent.

"Starting tomorrow, no, starting right now, the two of you don’t have to come to work at Jingyue Pavilion anymore!"

Even after berating them viciously, Chen Jianguo still felt it wasn’t enough to calm his fury, he angrily pointed at the two security guards who had collapsed on the ground.

"Chairman Chen, please, give me another chance. We were just confused for a moment, that’s why we made this decision!"

"Please, Chairman Chen, give me a chance!"

When the two security guards heard Chen Jianguo’s words, they almost blacked out and fainted, barely regaining consciousness before repeatedly begging for mercy, especially the leader of the guards who grabbed Chen Jianguo’s leg and wept bitterly for leniency.

He was the deputy captain, after all. How hard had he worked to barely earn that title of deputy captain over several years? Wasn’t it tough for him?

If he lost this job, how would he explain to his wife and children, how would he face his friends and relatives?

"Get lost!"

Chen Jianguo kicked him away fiercely, then turned his gaze to Li Ziming and the other rich second generations with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, his voice chillingly cold, "Young Master Li, such great audacity. Which one of your friends lost their wallet at Jingyue Pavilion? How much was it worth? What kind of wallet was it? If it’s proven with solid evidence that it was indeed lost at our Jingyue Pavilion, I will surely repay you tenfold. However, if it turns out someone has no evidence and intends to discredit Jingyue Pavilion and the reputation of my friends out of thin air, then I, Chen, though not talented, will certainly not let him off! Even if it means going bankrupt, I won’t hesitate!"

Chen Jianguo recognized almost all of this group of rich second generations; they all had some business dealings with Jianguo Group to varying degrees. Under normal circumstances, he would never be so discourteous and tear into them so directly, even if he found their behavior despicable and infuriating. Even if these people had offended him, Chen Jianguo, he would still maintain some face-saving civility. But unfortunately for them, today they had offended Xiao Yi!

This was Chen Jianguo’s untouchable boundary!

Putting aside the immense favor he owed to Xiao Yi’s grandfather, that respectable old man, during his early days of entrepreneurship, just yesterday, although he didn’t know how exactly Xiao Yi managed to single-handedly confront those kidnappers and work hard to save his daughter, as well as help him weed out a malignancy from his company, he had set up a banquet to thank him but instead subjected him to grievances and distress. If he were to remain timid and unwilling to stand up for Xiao Yi for the sake of business or so-called interests, then even if others didn’t despise him, Chen Jianguo, he himself would look down on himself for the rest of his life!

Besides, Jianguo Group, his company, wouldn’t stop functioning without the cooperation of these second generations’ parents, from which he profited, and they also gained huge benefits from the cooperation!

The wealthy heirs in front of them could never have imagined that this rural stranger was actually a guest invited by Chen Jianguo and that Chen Jianguo would really offend them to stand up for this rural stranger. Before, they had thought that Chen Jianguo’s loud berating of the security guard was his way of making a big issue small and a small one nonexistent.

Hearing the normally amicable Uncle Chen, Chen Jianguo, speak so sternly and harshly shocked the group of wealthy heirs, causing their drunkenness to dissipate by seventy to eighty percent. Sweat beaded on their foreheads, and their complexions turned pale.

"Uncle Chen, I think, this is just a misunderstanding," said Li Ziming, his complexion also turning pale at Chen Jianguo’s words. He too had never expected that Xiao Yi was not with Zeng Xiaoxiao but had come with Chen Jianguo, and what’s more, that Chen Jianguo actually put on an attitude of not being afraid to offend them, determined to defend Xiao Yi, this rural stranger. This put him in a very passive position.

He was well aware that although Chen Jianguo was not from a noble family like the Li Family, the roots he had laid down over the years in G City and the connections and financial power he had accumulated there were not to be underestimated. If it really came to a showdown, his Li Family could indeed crush Chen Jianguo, but they would at least suffer a loss of six or seven parts of their vitality. At a time when the Zeng family was lying in wait and many smaller families were also lying in wait, offending Chen Jianguo was definitely unwise.

At the same time, he felt extremely frustrated. How had he completely missed any information that Xiao Yi, this rural stranger, had any connection to Chen Jianguo, and such a deep one at that?

"Yeah, Uncle Chen, let it go, it must be a misunderstanding," said Xiao Yi, who had been silent until now, speaking up. With a hint of mocking in his expression, he glanced at the group of pale-faced wealthy heirs, then turned and smiled at Chen Jianguo.

"Yi, you..."

Chen Jianguo was taken aback and looked at Xiao Yi in confusion.

The group of wealthy heirs was also taken aback, not understanding why Xiao Yi would speak up for them.

Uncle Chen, it’s really okay. Oh right, you came up to use the restroom, didn’t you? Go ahead, and we’ll continue drinking when you’re done," said Xiao Yi with a smile.

"Well... Hmph, since Young Master Xiao doesn’t intend to pursue this matter further, let’s leave it at that. Young Master Li, it’s always wise to leave room for maneuver, so we can meet amicably in the future. I hope such incidents won’t occur again. Young Master Xiao is my friend, Chen Jianguo. Even though I may not be as talented or come from as influential a background as you all, with your deep roots and great power, I am not someone who is afraid of trouble, nor will I allow my friends to be wronged!"

Seeing that Xiao Yi had already decided not to pursue the matter, Chen Jianguo didn’t feel it was appropriate to continue pressing the issue either. After all, if he had to tear his face off with these wealthy heirs, the consequences would be very serious. If it wasn’t necessary, there was no need to do so. However, he still earned a lot of face for Xiao Yi verbally, declaring in no uncertain terms that Xiao Yi was his friend and that offending Xiao Yi meant Chen Jianguo himself would be ready to fight them to the end.
