46 A Few Tight Slaps

“Chen Li, what’s going on? President Liang wants me to come back and get our son to sign a letter of understanding.” Li Tianlan had just walked out of An Ning Construction Supplies Company when he immediately took out his phone and called Chen Li.

“This is what happened…” With a heavy heart, Chen Li explained the entire matter from beginning to end.

“You’re saying that our son wouldn’t sign it no matter what?” Li Tianlan frowned. “Wait for me at home, I’m on my way back now. We’ll discuss this properly when I get back.”

“It’s not a matter of whether to sign or not to sign. We simply don’t have a choice at all.”

“I’ll make things clear to our son,” Li Tianlan said in a hoarse voice and boarded the bus home.

…

When Li Tianlan got home, he stood behind Li Chengqian and looked at him as he focused on coding. “Son, listen, I have something to discuss with you.”

“Liu Wendao got someone to find my boss.”

“My boss wants to talk to me, he wants you to sign the letter of understanding.” As he spoke, Li Tianlan had already handed the letter of understanding to Li Chengqian.

“Why don’t we just sign it?” Li Tianlan had thought about it carefully on the way back. He felt that it was a must to sign it.

They would lose their dignity if they sign. But if they don’t sign, they would lose their livelihood!

They were ordinary people. The first thing they had to consider was survival, not dignity.

“Son, I don’t want to sign it either… But if we don’t, our boss will fire your mother and me.” Li Tianlan’s voice was filled with bitterness.

In a grownup’s world, things are never as easy as imagined. There were many things that young people could not or would not think of at all.

Mortgage was 6,000 yuan a month, utilities was 800 yuan a month, and daily necessities came to 1,000 yuan a month.

There was also the cost of clothes, daily necessities, and so on.

Even if they were thrifty, the family’s basic monthly expenditure was 9,000 yuan.

With both him and Chen Li working, their monthly income added up to this amount only.

If the two of them were fired together, they won’t even be able to pay the mortgage.

President Liang seemed to be clear about this point, which was why he was so high handed.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he was happy instead of shocked. His eyes lit up. After being reborn, he had wanted his parents to resign, but he had never found a good opportunity to say this.

His parents worked as workers at An Ning Construction Supplies Company. It was hard labor, and the working environment was very poor. It had a huge impact on their health.

In fact, he was already making plans for his parents to resign.

After getting to know Huang Daliang on Peach Blossom Mountain, he had secretly traded precious ingredients with Huang Daliang a few times. He didn’t dare to trade too much for fear of being discovered.

By now, he already had 30,000 yuan.

Although it was not much, it was definitely enough to tide their family over for one or two months.

Within these two months, his Divine Dragon Optimization software would bring him considerable revenue.

“Dad, check your message.” Li Chengqian took out his phone and quickly transferred 30,000 yuan to Li Tianlan’s account.

“30,000 yuan? Son, where did you get 30,000 yuan from?” Li Tianlan looked at Li Chengqian in surprise.

“Dad, this money is legit. I got it from selling white truffles to Boss Huang,” Li Chengqian said calmly.

“This 30,000 yuan is enough for our family for the next two months.”

“If President Liang wants to fire you and my mother, just let him.”

“I’ve already spoken to the lawyer who came here earlier. I can sign the letter of understanding on condition that Liu Wendao kneels in front of me and begs me.”

“So, I won’t sign this letter of understanding.” Li Chengqian’s attitude was very firm.

“Son, have you thought about it? What will we do in the future after we have used up this 30,000 yuan?” Li Tianlan’s expression became serious. He felt that Li Chengqian was too simple minded.

“Dad, the prize money for winning the Junior Informatics Programming Competition is 100,000 yuan!”

“When the competition ends next month, this 100,000 yuan will be mine.” Li Chengqian was brimming with confidence.

In fact, the 100,000 yuan prize money was nothing compared to the Divine Dragon Optimization software he was developing.

However, his parents didn’t understand this. They wouldn’t understand even if he explained it to them.

Li Tianlan frowned. Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang.

“President Liang…” Li Tianlan picked up the phone and greeted him.

“Li Tianlan, what the f*ck is wrong with you? You’ve been home for half an hour and you still haven’t got it signed?” President Liang’s voice was filled with impatience and dissatisfaction. He had followed Li Tianlan over and watched him get home, but he waited and waited and he still hadn’t come down.

“Hurry up, stop dilly-dallying. President Liu is still waiting!” President Liang’s tone was threatening.

“President Liang, you…” Li Tianlan was furious, but he didn’t dare flare up. Just as he was about to say that he would be done soon, Li Chengqian snatched the phone from him.

Li Tianlan’s phone was very loud. Li Chengqian had heard everything President Liang said. This arrogant attitude and threatening tone infuriated him.

Li Tianlan could tolerate it, but he, Li Chengqian, couldn’t.

“President Liang, right? I’m Li Chengqian. I’m telling you clearly now that I won’t sign the letter of understanding!”

“Also, let me inform you that my parents are resigning! Who cares about your lousy company.”

“Lastly, I’m warning you. Be more respectful to my father. Otherwise, you will get it from me.” Li Chengqian’s tone was unyielding as he rebuked President Liang.

“Little brat, you’re really something, aren’t you? Such arrogance!” President Liang’s voice turned cold. He was furious and a ruthless glint flashed across his eyes.

“You’re warning me, right? You’re not polite to me, right? You’re quite something! Alright, I’ll let you warn me in person and let you be rude to me in person.” After President Liang said that, he hung up.

“Let’s go. That little bastard said that he would give it to me. Let’s go straight to his house. I want to see what he can do to me.” President Liang sneered disdainfully. His voice was cold as he said to the other three people in the car.

The other three people in the car were burly young men with fierce faces. When they heard President Liang’s words, they laughed disdainfully.

“This little bastard is really not afraid of death!” The driver sneered.

...

“I’ll let him know later that he’s still too inexperienced.” Another man with a diagonal scar on his nose had a disdainful expression.

“Don’t act before I say so. Listen to my instructions. What era is it now? We can’t simply fight and kill. Don’t cause trouble for me,” President Liang instructed sternly.

“Brother Liang, don’t worry. We know our limits,” the man with the diagonal scar replied confidently.

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble after going up. A few tight slaps will scare the little bastard shitless. Even if you make him kneel and sing, he will do as told.”

“Then we’ll just issue some threats. They are ordinary folks, this would be enough to scare them out of their wits. They’ll then do whatever they’re told to do.” They were all wily old foxes, and were very used to bullying ordinary folks.

We won’t be too harsh with them, so even if they called the police on us, we would at most be given an administrative punishment. We’ll be out in 15 days tops. As for them, they will be facing our actions everyday and they will be living in fear.”

“Do you think they would dare to defy us?” The few of them laughed as they spoke. They walked towards Li Chengqian’s house with ferocious expressions.
