Chapter 173: Chapter 173 Must Take Revenge
"You want me to get lost?" Chen Guanglei sneered repeatedly, "Zhao Yulu, have you confused something? This is my company, and I arranged your position as vice-president. Since you won't agree to my terms, what right do you have to keep your job? Why should I offer it to you? If anyone should get lost, it's you!"
With faces already torn, Chen Guanglei naturally wouldn't hold back any civility.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yulu didn't say anything else; she quickly gathered her things, grabbed her bag, and headed out.
"Zhao Yulu, are you really not going to agree? I'll add more money, fifteen million, will that do?" Chen Guanglei asked.
"Chen Guanglei, today I've finally seen your true colors, from now on we have nothing to do with each other," Zhao Yulu said coldly without stopping her steps.
"Still not agreeing?" Chen Guanglei frowned, "Do you think you can go back to Xu Yang's side, is that why you refuse? I'm telling you, just forget about it; Xu Yang won't spare you a second glance."
Zhao Yulu didn't speak, continuing to walk away.
"Zhao Yulu, you've always been a gold digger, and you've been sleeping with Xu Yang for years. I'm willing to give you fifteen million, and that's being very generous. I'm telling you, once this chance is gone, there's no next one. If you agree to my terms, I can even make you the General Manager of the guild, how about that?" Chen Guanglei said, not giving up hope.
"You're always thinking about how to sleep with women; no wonder you could aggravate your dad to death!" Zhao Yulu stopped in her tracks, turned her head back, and retorted with a cold sneer.
"What did you say?!"
Chen Guanglei's eyes immediately turned bloodshot.
His father's death due to his aggravation was something he felt terrible and guilty about.
He regretted not listening to his father's advice to sell off the guild.
If he had sold the guild, his father would have been fine.
He would have still been able to enjoy the carefree life of a wealthy heir, not needing to bother about anything.
Even if troubles arose, his father would have been there to take care of them.
But now, with his father gone, all kinds of demons and monsters seemed to be popping up, wanting to drink his blood and eat his flesh.
He felt he might not even be able to protect his wealth.
Before, when his father was still around, he never thought much of it.
Now, with his father gone, he felt an emptiness inside.
His father's death because of his actions was his Achilles' heel.
Anyone who mentioned it in his presence was touching his weak spot.
Even the shareholders and executives of Triumph Investments did not dare to speak of it.
Now, Zhao Yulu had brought it up, and it instantly enraged him.
Slap!
Without warning, Chen Guanglei rushed over and smacked Zhao Yulu across the face.
The slap caught Zhao Yulu completely off guard; her head buzzed and she almost collapsed.
"You actually hit me?" Zhao Yulu covered her already swollen cheek, her face filled with disbelief.
Her words had simply been a retort to Chen Guanglei.
She had never imagined that Chen Guanglei would react so violently.
"So what if I hit you, you slut, a gold digger who has been slept with for years? What do you have to be proud of in front of me? I offer you fifteen million to be my girlfriend for two months; I'm giving you face, and you have the nerve to throw it back in my face and even bring up my dad. I'll beat you to death!"
Chen Guanglei grew angrier as he spoke, and he slapped Zhao Yulu across the face again.
Now, both of Zhao Yulu's cheeks quickly swelled up red.
"You... how dare you hit me, I'm calling the police—wait and see, you'll get detained!" Zhao Yulu came to her senses, took out her phone, and dialed a number.
"Hit me, I'm not afraid of the police. Go ahead and hit me, and if I get detained, consider that a loss for me!" Chen Guanglei sneered repeatedly, sure of himself.
He made no move to stop Zhao Yulu.
Even though his father had already passed away, he had left behind certain connections.
Those connections were more than enough to take care of this matter, at most he'd just have to pay a fine.
And as for that fine, it didn't worry him at all.
...
Evening.
Zhao Yulu returned home and went straight to the bedroom.
"Yu Lu, you're back, come over here, I made your favorite braised fish today." Liu Yujuan called out immediately upon seeing her daughter return.
"Mom, I'm not hungry, you eat." Zhao Yulu didn't even lift her head as she continued to her bedroom.
"Yu Lu, what's wrong?" Liu Yujuan noticed something off in Zhao Yulu's voice and came over quickly. Upon seeing Zhao Yulu's swollen cheek, her face changed, "What happened to you, who hit you? Who's so bold to hit you? Tell me, and I'll deal with them!"
No matter what, Zhao Yulu was her daughter. Seeing her daughter hurt naturally pained her, and she was furious with the desire to seek justice for her daughter.
"Mom, don't worry about it, I'm going to my room first." Zhao Yulu said.
"No, you have to tell me clearly who hit you. It wasn't Xu Yang, was it? Did he hit you when you went to see him?" Liu Yujuan speculated.
"No, I didn't go see Xu Yang." Zhao Yulu quickly shook her head.
"Then tell me, who hit you? Seeing you like this is killing me. If you don't tell me, you're not going back to your room. Sit down, I'll get some ointment for you. It's very effective, it'll reduce the swelling quickly."
Liu Yujuan had Zhao Yulu sit on the sofa while she fetched the ointment and applied it to Zhao Yulu's face.
"Tell me, who hit you? Whoever it is, I'll deal with them!"
Liu Yujuan set the ointment down, still angry.
"It was Chen Guanglei." Zhao Yulu said.
"What, him? Why would he hit you? Hasn't he been pursuing you all this time?" Liu Yujuan was shocked.
"He came to the company..." Zhao Yulu explained the situation a bit.
"That bastard! To say such things to you, and he hit you just for striking back. He's such a scoundrel!" Liu Yujuan cursed.
"I didn't expect him to be that kind of person." Tears fell from Zhao Yulu's eyes.
Realizing she knew a beast was truly unbearable.
"Yu Lu, you must get revenge!" Liu Yujuan said.
"I've already called the police, and they've fined him a hundred thousand yuan, to be compensated to me." Zhao Yulu said.
The reality was much like Chen Guanglei had said. He used his connections, and the police didn't detain Chen Guanglei but merely fined him.
"To Chen Guanglei, a hundred thousand yuan is just a drop in the bucket. What kind of revenge is that? To truly get revenge, you have to hit where it hurts, make him regret it." Zhao Yulu said.
"What else can I do? Let's just leave this matter behind. I won't have anything to do with him anymore." Zhao Yulu said bitterly.
"You can't just let this go; you must get revenge!" Liu Yujuan insisted.
"He has his connections, what can I do to him? Am I supposed to find some thugs to beat him up?" Zhao Yulu couldn't think of a way to get revenge.
She touched her cheek and found it no longer hurt.
The ointment was incredibly effective; in just a short time, her cheek had already stopped hurting.
