The Crazy Son-In-Law

“So, what are your means? Forcing us?” A chilling voice came from outside the room. A plainly dressed young man entered, his eyes coldly sweeping over Lin Jiayin and her group. The speaker was naturally Xiao Shun. He usually didn’t get involved in business matters, leaving them to Yao Cen to handle since he didn’t understand them too well. However, he happened to overhear their conversation when passing by the reception room.

This wasn’t a business negotiation; it was clearly a threat.

“President Yao, are all your company’s employees this unruly?” Lin Jiayin’s face was cold.

Before Yao Cen could speak, Xiao Shun sneered, “You’re talking about rules? You come to our company to threaten and show off your power, is that your rule?”

“If you are sincere about doing business, we welcome you with open doors. If you’re here to caust trouble,” he walked over, grabbed the acquisition plan book from the coffee table, threw it into Lin Jiayin’s arms, and coldly said, “Get the hell out of here!”

Lin Jiayin, a graduate of a top university, had earned her doctorate before turning thirty and had published several forward-looking academic papers in well-known biology journals. Upon returning to her home country, she was immediately appointed as the Chief Technology Officer of the Kumi Group, a title she wore proudly. She had never suffered such humiliation.

Her face flushed red, she abruptly stood up, took two steps forward, and raised her hand to slap Xiao Shun.

Slap!

Lin Jiayin saw a white shadow flash before her eyes, and before her slap could land, she felt a stinging slap on her own face. The force of it knocked her back a few steps, and she fell heavily onto the couch, her vision spinning and her head buzzing.

“How dare you hit our Miss Lin! Are you crazy?”

“Do you know who she is? The Chief Technology Officer of our Kumi Group! You’re just asking for trouble!”

The other so-called technical backbones were all bluster, but none dared to make a move. At this point, Zhu Que and several security guards had also entered the room.

“This is not the place for you to run wild. Get out!” Xiao Shun said coldly.

Lin Jiayin sat on the couch, still stunned. She had been slapped in the face by a small company employee, an utterly humiliating experience.

She still couldn’t believe it was true; she had always been so proud, like a shining pearl among people. From a young age, she excelled in her studies and possessed exceptional beauty, and everyone around her praised and admired her. Although she was nearly thirty, she took good care of herself, and time had not left a single trace on her. Instead, she seemed even more charming than those young girls in their early twenties.

Whenever she passed by, countless men’s gazes followed her, and if she was willing, countless men would do everything for her. Even if she slapped them, those men would still feel honored. Yet, the lowly loser in front of her humiliated her and dared to lay a hand on her? This was the greatest humiliation she had ever experienced in her life!

If she had a knife in her hand at that moment, she would have wanted to cut Xiao Shun into a thousand pieces to vent her anger. However, she knew where she was now. No matter how furious she was, she had to swallow her anger for the time being.

“I will remember this slap today. I will make your death miserable, and not only that, but your entire company will be buried with you!” Lin JiaYin, with disheveled hair, trembling body, and rage burning deep within her eyes, pointed at Xiao Shun and Yao Cen and screamed.

“Get lost!” Xiao Shun shot her a cold glance.

Immediately, Lin JiaYin felt a chill coming from behind her and hurried away with the others. Xiao Shun waved his hand to dismiss Zhu Que and the others, and said with a meaningful smile, “We’ve attracted attention so quickly. It seems our days won’t be peaceful anymore.”

Yao Cen asked, puzzled, “What do you mean?”

“Haven’t you thought about why they came all the way from the capital to acquire our small company?”

Yao Cen thought for a moment and replied, “Our product quality is good. They are afraid we will grow too big. The market share is limited. The more we take, the less others have. Naturally, they don’t want us to take food from their mouths.”

“You’re wrong. It’s not just a piece of the pie. If Starline Health fully expands, it can take almost everything. There’s no comparable product on the market,” said Xiao Shun solemnly.

He had already anticipated that this situation would arise. This was just the beginning, and he feared more and more people would target Starline in the future. It seemed they needed to prepare something in advance.

“We’re doing business fair and square. We have nothing to fear,” Yao Cen said with a fleeting glance, feeling somewhat unsettled.

Before this, she had never thought about it so deeply. She had only focused on producing and selling products. Now that she thought about it, Xiao Shun was right. Once Starline Health became too strong, it would inevitably affect the interests of many people. Kumi Group was the first to come, and they definitely wouldn’t be the last.

Moreover, she knew all too well what such huge interests meant. Their company was now trying to snatch food from others’ mouths. Yao Cen was destined to become the enemy of many people who would seek revenge. How could she not be anxious?

Xiao Shun sensed her emotions and slowly walked over to her, sitting down beside her. He hugged her and comforted her, “Don’t worry. As long as we don’t break the law and I’m here, no one can do anything to our company.”

Yao Cen playfully pushed him away, “There are so many people in the company. What are you doing.”

“Tsk, everyone in the company knows you’re my wife.”

Yao Cen rolled her eyes, “That’s a different matter. By the way, you just hit Kumi Group’s technical director. Will she take revenge?”

“What could happen? Don’t forget, your husband is now the big boss in Stillwater. If this were ancient times, I would be a local lord, or maybe a mountain king. You would be the lady of the stronghold…”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Stop it! Who would want to be a stronghold lady? ‘Big boss’ isn’t a nice term either!” Yao Cen got up and gave him a light kick on his leg before walking outside.

As she reached the doorway, it seemed as if she suddenly remembered something. She stopped and turned back, “If you don’t have anything going on this afternoon, could you pick someone up?”
