Chapter 163: The Grumpy Old Man
Jiangnan sat on the stool with his legs crossed!
Completely unflustered!
He looked at Feng Changqing's freshly bald head with great satisfaction.
Tsk~ How satisfying!
Feng Changqing gritted his teeth and said, "Deal with me? Who gave you the right to deal with me?"
"Do you think I'm scared just because you made one phone call? Anyone can act tough!"
"Today, you're signing this contract whether you want to or not!"
Jiangnan squinted his eyes and said, "I didn't come here today for anyone's sake."
"The premise of a transaction is giving the other party equal respect."
"Heh... you probably won't have a chance to get diabetes again in this lifetime."
Just then, the phone rang suddenly!
Feng Changqing looked at the caller and his heart sank immediately!
The headquarters of the Kyoto Spirit Martial Association! President Chen!
"Oh, President Chen, why are you calling so late..."
"You've been dismissed from your post. Prepare to be investigated by the legal authorities!"
"Beep, beep, beep—"
Just one sentence, that one sentence!
Made Feng Changqing's face turn deathly pale in an instant!
How could this be!
How could this happen!
It had only been a few minutes—how could he have been dismissed?
He quickly tried to call back, but it was repeatedly rejected!
Cold sweat instantly dripped down Feng Changqing's face, and he couldn't help swallowing hard.
An investigation? Once they looked into it, he was done for!
It wouldn't be just a few years in prison!
And at that moment, Luo Bei's phone also rang!
"Bad news, President Luo! Seven of our wholly-owned subsidiaries have been shut down! They said the accounts don't match and want to conduct a thorough investigation!"
"The pharmaceutical plant and steel mill have also been shut down! Everything's coming to a head at once!"
"What do we do? Many projects are still in progress! If we exceed the deadline, the penalty fees will be astronomical!"
"President Luo? Did you offend someone?"
Luo Bei took a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Jiangnan!
None of his subsidiaries could withstand an investigation!
Who didn't have a few skeletons in the closet?
The efficiency! The intensity!
There was no doubt about it!
The higher-ups had stepped in, and their attitude was extremely firm!
In just a few minutes, everything had been exposed!
The Vice President of the Spirit Martial Association had been fired! His own companies were being investigated!
Feng Changqing was finished! Luo Bei didn't dare imagine the scale of his own losses!
It wasn't just a matter of a few billion!
It was easy to imagine!
Just how enormous was the power behind Jiangnan?
An ordinary member of the Dark Night Army?
Get out of here!
If he were ordinary, why would his files be encrypted?
And all of this was because of just one phone call from Jiangnan!
[From Luo Bei's Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Feng Changqing's Resentment Value +1000!]
Feng Changqing kept calling his friends, his hands trembling.
But no one dared to pick up a single one of his calls!
It was as if he had been thrown straight from the clouds into the mud!
"Why can't I get through? Did you run out of credit on your phone? Want me to top it up for you?"
Feng Changqing roared angrily, "Don't be too happy too early! If I'm having a bad time, you won't either!"
Just then!
"Bang!"
The private room door was kicked open!
In rushed a grumpy old man wearing pajamas?
White eyebrows, white hair, with a tuft of goatee!
He wore a conical nightcap with a fluffy white ball at the tip?
Feng Changqing was stunned.
"President Shen? Why are you..."
Shen Hong grabbed Feng Changqing by the collar!
And slapped him hard across the face!
Two bloody teeth flew right out! Feng Changqing was dazed from the slap!
Why are you hitting me?
But Shen Hong wasn't satisfied. He grabbed a plate from the table and smashed it over Feng Changqing's head!
Blood gushed out!
He then swung his fists and hammered him in the face!
Feng Changqing: !!!
Luo Bei swallowed hard. He knew this old man!
The President of the Jiangcheng Spirit Martial Association! The top dog!
Usually kind and amiable, but today he was this explosive?
Gao Yuanshan and the others turned pale!
Jiangnan was also stunned. Where did this old man come from?
At that age, he had this much energy?
Shen Hong hit him while cursing!
"You fat pig! Is your head filled with bubbles?"
"How much have you embezzled, and it's still not enough? Do you know I was chewed out by the higher-ups because of you?"
"Who the hell did you have to mess with? You had to mess with Jiangnan?"
"Do you know who the Dark Night Army's 'Bright Sword' operation was protecting a while back?"
"How many people were lost? You touch him? And you want to block his permissions?"
"Even President Chen at headquarters doesn't have that authority! Who gave you the guts?"
He kicked Feng Changqing to the ground and rained down punches and kicks!
All the food on the table was dumped onto Feng Changqing's body!
Jiangnan: ...
Does he have to be this grumpy?
I haven't even had dinner yet, why couldn't he leave me one plate?
Beaten to the point of questioning life, his face covered in blood, Feng Changqing was truly panicked now!
The Dark Night Army's 'Bright Sword' operation had been massive in scale!
Shocking the entire world!
And it was just to protect Jiangnan?
Feng Changqing was truly terrified!
He had hit an iron plate this time! A calamity! A monstrous calamity!
Feng Changqing cried out, "President, I was wrong! Please help me! Help me!"
"Brother Nan! Master Nan! Let me off this once! I beg you, I shouldn't have..."
Jiangnan only looked at him coldly, saying nothing.
Shen Hong roared furiously, "Bullshit! Let you off? Who the hell is going to let me off?"
With that, he grabbed Feng Changqing by the belt!
The fat man weighed over 200 jin, but Shen Hong lifted him as if he were nothing, and hurled him violently toward the window!
"Crash!"
The window shattered! Feng Changqing screamed as he was thrown out!
Jiangnan's eyes went wide: "Damn! This is the third floor..."
Does he have to be this fierce?
At seventy or eighty years old, still this grumpy?
Throwing a person for real?
Shen Hong said, "It's fine! He won't die! He'll have plenty of time to recover once he's inside. I can't stand the sight of him!"
As he spoke, he flipped the table over, nearly burying Luo Bei underneath it!
"And what the hell are you waiting for? Get the hell out before I light a cigarette for you here?"
Luo Bei's face was deathly pale. His losses today were enormous!
He grabbed his briefcase and slipped out in disgrace.
Shen Hong turned around and immediately put on a smiling face: "Brother Jiangnan, this time our Spirit Martial Association was negligent in supervision. I've already looked into the situation!"
"I'm really sorry for the trouble it caused you!"
Jiangnan grinned: "It's fine. Just buy me a meal and it's all good!"
Shen Hong was taken aback, then burst out laughing, patting Jiangnan on the shoulder: "Actually, I have a favor to ask."
"Go ahead, old man!"
"I've also done some research into the effects of the Vitality Ginseng. Could you provide a portion of it to the research team of the Spirit Martial Association?"
"For study purposes! The Association has a professional team that might be able to figure out why it's so effective!"
"Once it's researched, it would be a great benefit to the entire world!"
"Of course, I wouldn't expect you to give it away for free. We..."
Jiangnan's eyes lit up: "Spirit Beads! Just Spirit Beads! How many do you have?"
Shen Hong was stunned, then laughed heartily: "How many do you want?"
Jiangnan said shyly, "Not too many. The thing is, I still have to set up my stall to support the family. I have two little babies at home waiting for me to feed them."
"A hundred or eighty pounds will do!"
Shen Hong: ???
What the hell?
A hundred or eighty pounds?
Do you think Spirit Beads are glass marbles from a two-dollar store?
To play marbles at home?
No one prices things like that!
