Uncle Lin didn't waste much time and quickly started the vehicle.

He has been traveling around Shanghai for decades and knows the city by heart; he can pinpoint its location without navigation.

In a short while, they arrived at the location that Shi Rongjin had indicated.

Shi Rongjin and Hu Weihao were squatting on the steps by the roadside, their dejected appearance visible from a distance.

"Hey, isn't this a top student? How come you can't even handle something this simple?"

Before Ye Lan even arrived, her sarcastic remarks came first.

Hu Weihao was furious.

"Hmph, who says I can't handle this? I'll file a lawsuit tomorrow and make sure they regret it!"

Hu Weihao clenched his fists and said fiercely.

Ye Lan blew the dust off the steps and finally sat down next to Hu Weihao.

"Promotion should not be delayed. By the time the court ruling comes out, the company will have already gone bankrupt. What good will it do even if we win the lawsuit then?"

Ye Lan didn't have any strong negative feelings towards Hu Weihao, but the other party always felt that he was exceptionally talented and different from others.

That's why Ye Lan kept suppressing him; her purpose was to give Hu Weihao a warning.

After hearing Ye Lan's words, Shi Rongjin looked somewhat unwilling. "So, are we just going to suffer this loss in silence?"

Ye Lan scoffed, "I've never met anyone who could make me suffer a loss."

"This is a one-time teaching session, so watch carefully and learn well."

As Ye Lan spoke, she walked towards the shop called "Lotus Advertising Design," leaving the two of them with her back turned.

Shi Rongjin and Hu Weihao exchanged a glance, and then stood up at the same time, quickly following Ye Lan's steps.

Stepping into the store, you see seven or eight machines neatly arranged, and more than a dozen employees performing their duties with skillful and smooth movements, everything proceeding in an orderly manner.

A man wearing a white shirt, black straight trousers, and square-framed glasses strolled around the factory with his hands behind his back.

A satisfied smile would occasionally appear on his face.

Thinning hair on the top of the head, revealing the shiny scalp, and a slightly protruding belly are hallmarks of a man in his thirties.

Shi Rongjin immediately said, "Boss, that person is the manager of this store, his surname is Wang and his given name is Lei."

Ye Lan ignored it and scanned every corner of the store.

At this moment, Wang Lei, who was inspecting the progress in the store, discovered three uninvited guests.

"Why are you students here again? Didn't I tell you to come back in a week?"

"What, can't you understand human language?"

Wang Lei pointed with his little hand and immediately started rapping, his temper as explosive as a powder keg.

Shi Rongjin was furious, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he wanted nothing more than to rush up and punch him twice.

Ye Lan took a step forward lightly. "I am the owner of Xueyao Milk Tea Shop. My employees previously ordered a batch of promotional posters and acrylic poster boards from you."

"The goods were supposed to be delivered today, why the delay?"

Wang Lei scoffed, "Oh, delivery today? When did I ever say that!"

Ye Lan reached her hand behind her back, gesturing for them to produce the handover document for the goods.

Unexpectedly, Shi Rongjin leaned close to Ye Lan's ear and said, "Boss, we agreed on this verbally, so there is no goods handover document."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lan's eyes widened as she stared at Shi Rongjin in disbelief.

Shi Rongjin quickly said, "I didn't do this, Manager Hu did it."

Ye Lan turned her head and looked at Hu Weihao, who was at a loss.

The latter's face was as red as a ripe tomato, and he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground; he was clearly extremely embarrassed.

He clenched his fist, made up his mind, and said, "Okay, I did it."

Then he pointed to Wang Lei and said, "He said he could give me a discount if I didn't issue a handover form. Considering that our company was just starting out, I nodded in agreement."

"I'm sorry, boss, I'll submit my resignation letter after I get home today. I don't want my salary or anything. I'll find a way to make up for the company's losses."

Ye Lan was quite moved by Hu Weihao's heartfelt words.

However, there are many people who do bad things with good intentions, and we cannot ignore their mistakes just because they meant well.

"I'll settle the score with you later."

Seeing that the other party could not produce any evidence, Wang Lei became smug and danced around, stretching out his arms like chicken wings and hopping around on his short legs like a roly-poly toy.

"There's no handover form now, what can you do with me?"

"Don't even mention delaying for a week, even if I delay for a month or a year, you can't do anything about it."

Hearing this, Ye Lan sighed and shook her head, then turned and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Hu Weihao and Shi Rongjin pursed their lips and silently followed.

They knew perfectly well that if even the boss couldn't solve the problem, staying here would only be a waste of their time.

Watching the three leave, Wang Lei spat, "Pah! A bunch of country bumpkins, do they think they can negotiate with me?"

Then he turned to his employees and said, "Hurry up and finish making those promotional posters for Boss Zhang. Boss Zhang said that as long as we do a good job, he will sign a long-term contract with us."

.........

On the other side, Hu Weihao, who was walking behind Ye Lan, couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere. He took off the name tag around his neck and looked at the word "Manager" on it. The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

This was his first job, but unfortunately, he messed it up.

You can't blame anyone else; you can only blame yourself.

Shi Rongjin couldn't suppress the pent-up anger in his chest. He looked at his boss, his eyes filled with resentment, and asked urgently:

"Boss, are we just going to leave like this? Is there really no other way?"

Ye Lan, who was walking ahead, paused and turned around. "Let's go. When did I say I was leaving?"

Both of them were completely bewildered. "What are we doing here?"

"Now comes the main event!"

Ye Lan grinned, then approached Uncle Lin. "Uncle Lin, I have a clueless boss here who looks down on students. Could you bring a Bentley to back us up?"

Shi Rongjin and Hu Weihao gasped in astonishment, "Wow, is that even possible?"

Shanghai is a very realistic city, or rather, it's the same everywhere.

If you have power, money, and influence, others will respect you; otherwise, they will look down on you.

Luxury cars of Bentley's caliber are extremely rare, even in Shanghai.

I've probably only ever seen small workshop owners like Wang Lei online.

Uncle Lin nodded, "No problem, young master. Just point me to a place, and I'll drive right there!"

Ye Lan chuckled after receiving the reply and squinted at Wang Lei's shop.

Since you want to bully the weak, don't blame me for abusing my power!
