Chapter 43 - 43 0043 The Kang Brothers' Fear
?43: Chapter 0043: The Kang Brothers’ Fear 43: Chapter 0043: The Kang Brothers’ Fear Ye Xunhuan had a busy afternoon, completely occupied with helping Tang Yurou select candidates for onboarding.
Thankfully, everything was settled, and a few of them were well-acquainted with Tang Yurou, both male and female, and quite straightforward by nature, so they were promoted.
After all, Tang Yurou had just taken up her new position and needed a few trusted confidants by her side, and who better than the people closest to her?
Despite the apparent calm at Huangtu Group, everyone had their own circles, from the managing supervisors to regular employees.
One could say that the workplace is a microcosm of society, with its own hierarchies and scheming, which goes without saying in the professional domain…
Ye Xunhuan thought highly of Old Li, and Tang Yurou shared the sentiment, so together, they decided to bring Old Li up from the lower ranks.
From that moment on, he became a member of the Supervisory Department, evoking envy in many.
Only now did Ye Xunhuan learn that Old Li’s real name was Li Dewang, a very rustic name that perfectly fit someone from the forties or fifties of the last century!
For this opportunity, Li Dewang was extremely grateful to Ye Xunhuan and Tang Yurou; understanding the way things work, he immediately invited Ye Xunhuan out for some post-work fun!
However, Ye Xunhuan declined.
Rather than joining these people for fun, he preferred the thrill of searching for something exciting at the bar—completely free and with a sense of achievement to boot.
Of course, now that he had Tang Yurou, Ye Xunhuan planned to drive her out and show off after work, which is why he turned down the offer.
But he declined politely, considering that it was well-intentioned; after all, a cold refusal would be like a slap to the face, wouldn’t it?
Time, like sand in one’s palm, always slips away quietly when you least expect it, and before you know it, it’s time to clock out.
After work, Ye Xunhuan and Tang Yurou made their way downstairs straight away.
Once outside Huangtu Group, Ye Xunhuan pulled Tang Yurou toward the company’s underground parking lot, which surprised her, “Xunhuan, what’s this about?”
“I’m taking you for a drive today!”
But before Tang Yurou and Ye Xunhuan could reach the parking lot, a middle-aged man rushed towards them.
This man bore a striking resemblance to Kang Huaiyuan—about seventy to eighty percent similar!
“Mr.
Ye, Mr.
Ye…”
In an instant, the man arrived at Ye Xunhuan’s side.
“Who are you?”
“Mr.
Ye, I am Kang Wenyuan, Kang Huaiyuan’s elder brother…”
Upon hearing Kang Wenyuan’s introduction, Tang Yurou’s face immediately tensed, and she turned pale, inadvertently gripping Ye Xunhuan’s arm, as if she had been startled!
The tone of Ye Xunhuan’s voice also became unfriendly at that moment, “What’s the matter…”
Kang Wenyuan caught the hostility in Ye Xunhuan’s voice right away and hurriedly said, “Mr.
Ye, please don’t misunderstand, I am here to apologize on behalf of my unworthy brother to both you and Miss Tang.
If there has been any offense, I hope you can forgive the indiscretions of my ignorant brother and let him go!”
“This is a small token of my appreciation, and I hope Mr.
Ye and Miss Tang can accept it…”
As he spoke, Kang Wenyuan took out a check from his person and handed it directly to Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan glanced at the number on the check and furrowed his brows slightly, “What do you mean by this?”
“Mr.
Ye, I truly had no idea that you were brothers with Little Ninth, or that you and Miss Su were friends.
Otherwise, even with ten times our courage, we wouldn’t dare to offend you.
Mr.
Ye, I beg you to show mercy and spare us brothers…” Kang Wenyuan pleaded earnestly, his face full of supplication as he looked at Ye Xunhuan.
If it weren’t for the fact that it was after work hours and the place was crowded with people coming and going, Kang Wenyuan might have already knelt before Ye Xunhuan.
The tragedy of the Kang brothers, Kang Wenyuan and Kang Huaiyuan, was quite a tale.
Just yesterday, they had retaliated against Ye Xunhuan and Tang Yurou and were dreaming about making Ye Xunhuan kneel before them begging for mercy, but out of nowhere, Ma Yingjun appeared at the hospital with a group of people who beat the two brothers without saying a word, following the principle of not hitting the face, thrashing them brutally.
They also warned them that if they dared to trouble Ye Xunhuan and Tang Yurou again, Little Ninth would throw them into the sea to drown; if they drowned, it was fate, and if they didn’t, it was luck!
At the time, Kang Wenyuan and Kang Huaiyuan were scared to death.
Although Kang Wenyuan had some capabilities, he was by no means comparable to Little Ninth.
He had never met Little Ninth and only knew that Little Ninth had influence over both the underworld and the lawful side, which was quite terrifying.
Compared to Little Ninth, Kang Wenyuan was nothing but trash!
But who would have known that right after being beaten by Ma Yingjun, countless big shots called the next day with stern warnings for Kang Wenyuan, explicitly telling him that Ye Xunhuan was not someone he could afford to offend.
After inquiring from several sources, Kang Wenyuan found out that it was Su Guyan who had intervened.
This revelation threw Kang Wenyuan and Kang Huaiyuan into complete panic.
One Little Ninth was enough to cause them distress, but now Su Guyan had emerged out of nowhere like a divine figure.
Although they didn’t know the background of Su Guyan, rumors said she had enormous backing and was not someone they could afford to provoke, even more troublesome than Little Ninth.
This drove the brothers into desperation, especially since Kang Huaiyuan was already beaten to the point of being bedridden and incapable of taking care of himself in the hospital, so Kang Wenyuan immediately sought out Ye Xunhuan to apologize, wielding a compensation fee of three million yuan!
“Mr.
Ye, you have a large heart, and a prime minister’s belly can contain a boat.
Please don’t be petty with us.
I beg you to show mercy and spare us brothers.
If Mr.
Ye should ever require anything in the future, as long as we’re capable, we will not refuse…” Kang Wenyuan said with a face full of nervousness and unease.
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan finally understood.
It turned out Little Ninth had intervened; no wonder.
What puzzled Ye Xunhuan was why Su Guyan, that woman, had also intervened?
What did she want to do, protect him, or show him that she could now decide the life and death of countless people with just a word?
It was after work hours, and the place was bustling with people.
Many of the high-level executives of Emperor Map Group also witnessed Kang Wenyuan acting all humble and sycophantic with Ye Xunhuan, not knowing what was being said.
Why was Kang Wenyuan acting so humbly, and he didn’t seem to care about the setting at all—just who exactly is Ye Xunhuan?
For a moment, everyone began to ponder.
To make Kang Wenyuan speak in such a subdued voice, even slightly fawning, was not something just anyone could achieve.
At the same time, the scene also caught the eye of Qin Muge, who had just arrived at the parking lot.
