"Young Master, could you please put in a good word for us, make sure he doesn’t send mercenaries to assassinate us."
"Yes, that’s right! Young Master, please speak on our behalf."
...
Ning Shaoqing: "Don’t worry, I’ll take him to Jinling tomorrow, build a good relationship, and this matter will be over. So, brother, don’t say I don’t give you face, I’m actually saving you. Say a few nice words, spend a little money, and the problem is solved. How great is that? If things escalate to a bloody conflict, the consequences will be severe and people could die."
Ning Shaolong looked a bit dazed, nodding woodenly.
Chen Guang instructed to only let people in but not out, so his men let Ning Shaoqing’s group in.
The group went to the private room where Yang Chen was, at that moment the corridor had already been sealed off.
Ning Shaoqing quickly said, "My brother got beaten by the people in room 302, I’m here to settle the score, don’t stop me."
Seeing that their target was also the guests in Room 302, the people guarding the area thought of them as "one of us" and let them in.
Ning Shaoqing and his group entered room 302, which was already packed with people.
Ning Shaoqing and Ning Shaolong squeezed in, and the scene in front of them left them dumbfounded.
The person in charge, Chen Gen, was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Yang Chen and admitting his mistakes.
"Brother Chen, I was wrong, please be magnanimous and forgive me! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!"
Ning Shaoqing smiled as he looked at his brother and whispered, "See that? Even with so many men, he still had to admit defeat, kowtow, and apologize. Solving the matter with money is much better than having you kneel and apologize, right?"
Ning Shaolong felt a chill in his heart, forcing out a few awkward smiles.
Chen Guang and his wife Chen Ying quickly apologized to Yang Chen.
Chen Guang: "President Yang, I apologize. My subordinates were thoughtless and offended you. I offer my apologies."
Chen Ying: "We didn’t know this would happen; otherwise, we would’ve stopped him. He wasn’t opposing you, President Yang, just blinded by greed and bribed by Zhang Letian’s father, Zhang Kangwei, with a mere 100,000. Today, all your expenses with your friends at the Upper Member are on the house, and we will compensate you with 5 million. These people will be expelled and never hired again. Please be magnanimous and let this matter pass. If you’re upset, you can deal with them however you wish, just don’t take it out on our company. Is that okay?"
Chen Guang: "Indeed, President Yang, please be gracious and forgiving."
In short, the couple just wanted to wash their hands of the matter with 5 million. They didn’t care if Yang Chen decided to continue dealing with Chen Gen.
Chen Gen, fearful, quickly said, "Brother Guang, sister-in-law, you can’t just abandon me! I’ve worked diligently for you for many years, even if I don’t have merits, I have put in labor. I need your protection now, you can’t just kick me out."
Chen Guang: "What are you saying? You’ve worked for us all these years, and we’ve been paying you for the same time. Your house, car, the expenses for your mistress and illegitimate children, haven’t I covered all that? You can’t just see what you’ve given and ignore what you’ve received from me."
Chen Gen was left speechless.
Yang Chen chuckled and said, "Alright, just be more careful from now on. It’s getting late, I’m off to bed."
Chen Gen: "No problem. Everyone, get out of the way, don’t disturb President Yang."
The thugs they managed to gather quickly scattered.
Yang Chen stood up and said to the philanthropists, "Ladies and gentlemen, we’re off, you continue enjoying yourselves."
"Safe travels, President Yang."
"President Yang, when I have time, I will donate to your charity foundation in Hai City."
"Yes, yes, I’ll go too."
"We’ll go as well."
...
Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Great! Thank you all. Until we meet again."
With that said, Yang Chen glanced at Cheng Junjun, and the two of them left together.
Chen Guang and Chen Ying quickly followed them out.
Chen Guang handled the conversation with Yang Chen, deliberately slowing him down.
Chen Ying took the opportunity to sign a check and hurriedly handed it to Cheng Junjun.
Cheng Junjun looked at Yang Chen, who winked, signaling her to accept it.
Even if they didn’t take this 5 million, Yang Chen wasn’t interested in quibbling with a venue manager, it was beneath him.
So, might as well take it, better than nothing.
Seeing Yang Chen accept the money, Chen Guang smiled and asked, "President Yang, could we add each other as friends? I’ve always wanted to contribute to society but haven’t found a reliable organization. I trust your character, and your charity foundation must be trustworthy. For any future charity activities, remember to involve me, I’ll certainly support it. Should President Yang ever have any investment projects here in Su City, just let me know if you need anything, and I’ll be more than willing to help."
Noble gentlemen have their noble ways, while the jacks-of-all-trades serve different purposes.
Chen Guang’s business was in KTVs, entertainment venues, and projects, encountering various types of people, especially those who frequent his establishments instead of attending to proper business—they might prove useful someday.
Besides, even if it comes to nothing, it’s simply an uncontacted friend in Yang Chen’s list, with no harm done.
So, Yang Chen added Chen Guang as a friend.
Understanding the situation, Chen Guang promptly said, "In a few days, I’ll visit Hai City to make a donation to Mr. Yang’s charity foundation."
