I'm busking on the streets with my kid, and my domineering CEO is helping me break into the mus

Yang Xue's original intention in recording the conversation was to collect evidence of the other party's unreasonable behavior so that she could better communicate with Sun Yue.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a lucky coincidence, and we were able to take advantage of it.

She crossed her arms, stared at Zhang Qiqi who had stood up excitedly, and said with a teasing expression:

"Ha, they were the weaker party just now, how come they're getting tough now?"

Yang Xue casually played Zhang Qiqi's previous threat again to reinforce the impression.

Only then did everyone realize that they had been tricked by this kid, and their eyes changed from pity to resentment or hatred.

Even if it's a deliberately arranged script, they can't help but get immersed in it.

The discussions no longer took the form of whispers, but rather involved deliberately letting the other party hear the sarcastic remarks of the crowd.

"Hmph, if you ask me, evil people are always cunning. Luckily, we have solid evidence, otherwise this would be even more unjust than Dou E."

"Getting slapped a few times is too lenient! If you ask me, people like this should fucking go to jail! This whole family deserves it!!"

"Tiancheng will have to be more careful when hiring people in the future. These guys are just a bunch of scoundrels!"

"Don't believe her. Her recording was clearly edited out of context; she's taking things out of context!"

Zhang Qiqi's face flushed red as she tried to argue her way out of it.

But no one will believe someone who has lied.

"You say she took things out of context, why don't you release the full recording?"

"Tell me, did you say that?"

The two straightforward guys immediately started arguing.

Zhang Qiqi only stammered twice, but couldn't reply.

"Just shut up already!"

"If you say less, no one will think you're mute!"

Just then, Gu Dayong, his face contorted with rage, cursed at his brother-in-law.

Yang Xue looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the other person was hanging their head, like a defeated quail.

Given the other party's previous attitude, Yang Xue initially thought of mocking them in return before considering how to handle the situation.

But Yang Xue quickly abandoned this plan.

"Interacting with such sycophants is pointless and will only lower your own standards."

Thinking of this, Yang Xue became too lazy to talk to Gu Dayong anymore and instead walked towards Xu Yan.

"Mr. Xu, they are your people. How do you think this dispute should be handled?"

Upon hearing Yang Xue's question, many people present perked up, especially Gu Dayong and his group.

Xu Yan looked troubled and did not respond immediately.

Sun Yue witnessed everything but remained silent throughout.

As Xu Yan's friend, she wanted to give him face and let him handle it himself.

However, Xu Yan and Gu Dayong have some personal relationship.

Gu Dayong and his group are very good at social maneuvering.

He always flattered Xu Yan and thought of him whenever there was a good thing, which helped Xu Yan regain his dignity as a man.

If it were anyone else, even General Manager Sun Yue, Xu Yan could have mediated and exonerated them.

But these guys were really unlucky; they not only offended the King of Hell, but they also had to offend his mother.

At this moment, Xu Yan was both annoyed and confused.

Seeing that Xu Yan couldn't bring himself to do it, Yang Xue calmly spoke up:

"Mr. Xu, I don't really care how you handle it, after all, you've helped me so much."

"Given our sentimentality, I can let this go and not pursue their grievances."

"But what I want to say is that what they are succumbing to today is not fairness, nor me, but rights."

Yang Xue left it at that and didn't say anything more.

But Xu Yan understood immediately.

He looked at Yang Xue and couldn't help but recall the time when he was nobody.

Who would treat him like a human being back then?

This world is very real; most people are visual creatures.

If you're strong, they'll praise you; if you're weak, they'll trample on you.

So many people are showering you with compliments, Xu Yan. Is it really because of your personal charm?

And who is it that has enabled you, Xu Yan, to achieve your current status?

After much deliberation, Xu Yan suddenly became resolute and said solemnly:

"Miss Yang, please rest assured."

"I take direct responsibility for this incident and will not tolerate it!"

"As a malignant tumor in the city, if these guys aren't dealt with, they'll only harm more people!"

In a few words, Xu Yan made his position clear.

Gu Dayong was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.

In his view, deducting wages, reducing salaries, and suspending work for reflection are the best punishments one can give.

But judging from Xu Yan's tone, it seemed that he wanted to relinquish his job.

Is it really that bad...?

Just because of such a trivial matter?

"Mr. Xu! I'll accept whatever you do, even if you hit me or deduct my salary."

"We made a mistake, any apology is acceptable!"

"But you can't discard someone after they've served their purpose!"

Gu Dayong leaned closer to Xu Yan and said, his eyes wide with surprise.

Xu Yan looked at the other person and said seriously and solemnly:

"Old Gu, I'll give you some advice for our sake!"

"Don't blame others when problems arise; reflect on your own actions!"

"Times have changed; in a society governed by the rule of law, everyone is equal."

"This is no longer an era where everyone has to bow and scrape at your word!"

Even with Xu Yan's earnest advice, Gu Dayong simply wouldn't listen to it at this point.

The two were completely on different wavelengths. Gu Dayong's mouth was frothing as he began to talk about their friendship.

"Mr. Xu, no matter what, as your subordinate, I haven't failed in my duties, have I?"

"I usually do whatever you tell me to do, and I've been following your instructions carefully."

Xu Yan took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.

"Dude, this time you've really messed up. I can't protect you guys at all."

"The security team that came with you is too powerful; we really dare not use them."

"But I promise you, I will strictly follow the contract procedures for compensation and will not delay paying you a single penny of your wages."

When Gu Dayong heard Xu Yan's words, his mind was filled with a thunderous roar.

It turns out that he wasn't the only one being punished, but a group of people.

Gu Dayong stared blankly at the other person for more than ten seconds.

His expression suddenly darkened, and he said in a cold, low voice:

"Mr. Xu, I advise you to think more carefully before you speak..."

"Dozens of brothers eat with you."

"We can accept having our wages docked, but if you just flip the table like that, some people are bound to hate you..."

Gu Dayong's next sentence was almost identical to his previous threat to Yang Xue.

Xu Yan's eyes instantly turned cold. He stared at Gu Dayong and questioned him in a low voice:

"Are you threatening me?"

Gu Dayong immediately withdrew his cold gaze; he didn't want to break off relations with the other party.

Working at Tiancheng provides five social insurances and one housing fund, and they can pay him a monthly salary of up to 30,000 yuan.

His subordinates each earned between five and ten thousand yuan, which was far safer and more comfortable than being a foreman.

He said in a half-pleading tone:

"Mr. Xu, look at us, we're just common folk, how dare we threaten you?"

"In a society governed by the rule of law, we will certainly abide by the law."

"But this is a society based on human relationships; everyone has to live, right?"

Gu Dayong may not have explicitly mentioned threats, but every sentence he uttered seemed to be laced with them.

Xu Yan frowned and did not respond, and the atmosphere became tense.

The other party's threat made him feel uneasy.

If Gu Dayong and his gang of thugs are determined to take revenge on him, it's possible they'll resort to underhanded tactics.

Unlike Fu Qingyang, he doesn't have bodyguards following him 24 hours a day.

Yang Xue squinted at Gu Dayong. Although she couldn't hear the conversation clearly, she could guess what he was saying.

She edited a message and sent it to Jiang Xiaolong.

He then stepped forward and spoke in a cool, clear voice:

"Gu Dayong, how about I talk to you?"

Gu Dayong turned his head and saw that the person who came was Yang Xue, who was much more polite and friendly.

"Sure, Miss Yang, I'm just waiting for you to mark the way."

"You have powerful connections; your words carry more weight than my boss's!"

Gu Dayong spoke sarcastically, but Yang Xue wasn't annoyed. Instead, she chuckled and asked:

"You and your wife are both from the old town, right...?"

Gu Dayong was puzzled after listening, not understanding what Yang Xue meant.

"Yes, my family has lived in the old town for four generations."

"what happened?"

Just then, a group of people came rushing out from the back of the mall, led by a middle-aged bald man.

Next to him was a 50-year-old one-eyed man whose face looked somewhat familiar.

Do you know Chen Sandao...?
