After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

Lin Yuan only said half of what he wanted to say.

The more he emphasized the risks, the less Lin Qiang cared.

In Lin Qiang's logic, since he could get a house without paying any money, all those KPIs and late fees were just formalities.

The village chief back home doesn't even repay his IOUs on time, so who can really come and arrest him?

Besides, this is my older brother's company.

Would his own brother really push him into a fire pit?

"Alright, alright, stop chanting."

Lin Qiang impatiently interrupted Lin Yuan.

He flipped directly to the last page of the contract.

There was a row of blank signature fields.

"It's just a nominal position."

"Anyway, the house is in my name, and I'll have the keys. Who can kick me out?"

Lin Qiang snatched the pen from Lin Yuan's hand.

Without even a second's hesitation.

He signed his name, Lin Qiang, in a bold and elegant style in the signature section for Party B.

After signing, he threw the pen down.

He looked at Lin Yuan with a smug expression.

"Alright, I've finished signing."

When will you give me the key?

Lin Yuan looked at the two crooked characters.

His lips involuntarily curled upwards for a fleeting moment.

He then quickly composed himself and turned to look at Li Guifen, who was standing to the side.

"Mom, this spot requires a direct relative with full civil capacity to act as a co-guarantor."

"This is a standard procedure for preventing financial risks."

Lin Yuan took out a red inkpad box from the side pocket of his backpack.

He opened the inkpad box and pushed it in front of Li Guifen.

"Just put your fingerprint on the joint guarantor's fingerprint."

Li Guifen looked at the thick document.

She knew nothing about the law; all she knew was that her youngest son finally had a big house to live in.

And it didn't cost me a single penny.

This is an incredible bargain.

She rubbed her hands together happily and pressed her thumb firmly into the inkpad.

Then in the last blank line of the contract.

I pressed that bright red, glaring fingerprint.

Red clay is printed on paper.

Like a drop of dried blood.

Lin Yuan reached out and took the complete contract back from the table.

He checked the signature and fingerprint in front of everyone.

The seal across each page was perfectly stamped.

Perfect.

This "Conditional High-Interest Loan Agreement with Unlimited Joint and Several Guarantee" has officially come into effect.

Hidden within those dozens of pages of red tape.

It is the ultimate clause that completely strips the mother and son of all their assets.

What they signed was not a purchase agreement at all.

Instead, it's a betting loan with unlimited joint and several liability.

They definitely won't be able to meet their target of two million new user acquisitions in the first month.

Once a default is made, the exorbitant late fees can snowball and accumulate to millions in a short period of time.

Li Guifen served as a co-guarantor.

Her pension account, her homestead in her hometown, and even those few acres of barren land.

All of these have been legally and compliantly locked into the collateral under this contract.

The butcher's knife has been raised, and the noose has been tightened.

Lin Yuan slowly stuffed the contract back into his backpack.

The moment the zipper was zipped up, he felt as if the mountain that had been weighing on his back for over twenty years in his previous life had collapsed instantly.

Li Guifen patted the dust off her trouser legs.

She looked at Zhang Jianye with a big smile on her face.

"Mr. Zhang, your company has so many kind people."

"Then we won't disturb your work any longer. We'll go to the sales office now to get the keys."

Zhang Jianye waved his hand, signaling the security guards to send the two troublemakers away.

Wait until the exceptional mother and son completely disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The amiable look on Zhang Jianye's face vanished instantly.

He turned his head and stared at Lin Yuan in front of him.

"Xiaolin, now that your family matters are resolved..."

"It's time for you to fulfill your obligations."

Zhang Jianye pointed in the direction of his office.

"Come to my office and sign the project safety responsibility agreement from yesterday."

"The client is pressing us urgently; they need to see the draft this afternoon."

Lin Yuan nodded.

He carried a backpack and obediently followed Zhang Jianye into the president's office.

Zhang Jianye walked to the boss's chair and sat down.

He opened the drawer, took out the printed document, and threw it on the table.

He then threw the Parker pen over.

"Sign it quickly."

"After you sign, go to the finance office to collect two thousand yuan for travel expenses. Don't come to work for the next few days."

Zhang Jianye didn't even bother to pretend anymore.

This is clearly a classic case of signing a document and then immediately clearing out the client.

Lin Yuan walked to the table.

He didn't look at the expensive pen.

He stretched out his hands and placed them on the document that had determined his fate in his previous life.

Zhang Jianye thought he was about to sign something and was just about to pick up his teacup to drink some water.

With a ripping sound.

The crisp sound of paper tearing echoed in the quiet office.

Lin Yuan used both hands to tear the safety responsibility agreement in half.

Then they were stacked together again and torn into four pieces.

Zhang Jianye almost spat out the tea in his mouth.

He suddenly stood up and pointed at Lin Yuan's nose, cursing loudly.

"Lin Yuan, you're insane!"

"Do you know what you're doing?!"

Lin Yuan casually tossed the scraps of paper onto Zhang Jianye's sleek desk.

The pieces of paper scattered all over the ground like snowflakes.

Lin Yuan raised his head.

He was no longer the humble, bowing technical director.

His eyes were like those of someone looking at a dead man.

"Zhang Jianye".

Lin Yuan addressed him by his given name.

"You are fully responsible for the fraudulent accounts and loopholes in the P2P lending projects."

"I have completely copied your internal accounting database used for money laundering."

Lin Yuan took off his work badge from around his neck and threw it onto the scraps of paper.

"I am formally informing you."

"I've fired you."

"From now on, if your server can still run normally for one minute..."

"I admit my skills are lacking."
