45: Chapter 45 The Hat Prepared for Shen Wen
Being teased by Chu Yuan, and hindered by his status, Zhou Xiaodie didn't dare to act rashly, let alone have the courage to resist.
She stood there like a ragdoll, allowing Chu Yuan to do as he pleased.
"Damn it, let go of President Zhou, or I will make you pay."
Shen Wen clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging, an urge to snap and kill rising within him.
Even knowing Chu Yuan's status, Shen Wen still didn't think much of him.
He was the young master of the Shen Family in the capital. In his eyes, the power of the Shen Family was simply incomparable to other families, and certainly much stronger than the Shanghai Chu Family.
Today, even at the risk of exposing his identity, he absolutely could not stand by and watch his wife be humiliated like this.
"It is possible for this Young Master to let her go, but you brat are too arrogant."
Chu Yuan smiled faintly and turned his gaze to Zhou Cong: "You, go and teach him a good lesson. If you satisfy this Young Master, I will let her go."
Hearing that Chu Yuan had such a small request, Zhou Cong perked up.
He rushed in front of Shen Wen, raised his hand, and slapped him hard.
Shen Wen clenched his fists, just about to fight back, but when he looked up, he saw the unquestionable look in Zhou Xiaodie's eyes.
The resistance that had just sprouted vanished into thin air.
"You damned loser, how dare you offend Young Master Chu."
"Our Zhou Family has raised you for so many years, yet you are ungrateful, only knowing how to cause trouble for our Zhou Family all day long. Watch me teach you a lesson."
As he spoke, Zhou Cong slapped him across the face again.
Zhou Cong slapped him left and right, over a dozen times, until Shen Wen's originally fair face was swollen, turning him completely into a pig's head.
Even so, Shen Wen kept his head lowered, saying nothing, not daring to put up any resistance.
Damn!
He had already been beaten like this, yet he was still submissive, enduring the pain.
He was truly a son-in-law with masochistic tendencies; even Chu Yuan couldn't bear to watch and felt a bit of sympathy for this son-in-law.
"Young Master Chu, I have already taught this brat a lesson. If you are not satisfied, I can continue to beat him until you are."
Zhou Cong walked cautiously to Chu Yuan, nodding and bowing as he asked for instructions.
Although he was wearing a suit and dressed like a young master, looking somewhat decent,
when facing a top-tier young master like Chu Yuan, he immediately turned into a sycophantic lackey.
Chu Yuan was a top-tier young master in Shanghai and a director of the Tianlong Group. Let alone being a lackey, Zhou Cong would be more than happy to even be Chu Yuan's dog.
Chu Yuan didn't say anything, looking Shen Wen up and down. His entire face had been beaten into a pig's head.
If he kept hitting him, his already insufficient IQ would likely run out of credit.
Bullying the mentally challenged was not Chu Yuan's usual style.
He waved his hand, finally letting Shen Wen and the others go.
"Thank you, Young Master Chu, for your mercy. Thank you…"
Zhou Cong nodded and bowed again, his sycophantic expression clearly visible.
"Alright, alright, go back to where you came from."
Chu Yuan waved his hand, issuing an order to leave.
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaodie could no longer care about being reserved. She trotted forward, looking imploring: "Young Master Chu, actually, we came here this time because we wanted to cooperate with the Liu Group. I heard that the Liu Group has merged with the Tianlong Group. Is this true?"
"You came to discuss cooperation? Are you trying to laugh me to death?"
"That I am not holding this against you is already me showing mercy. Do you think I, Chu Yuan, am a soft touch or easy to bully?"
"Miss Zhou, you are beautiful, but don't think too beautifully."
As he spoke, Chu Yuan flicked Zhou Xiaodie's pretty face lightly.
According to the intelligence Zuo Shishi collected yesterday, the Zhou Family was plugging holes everywhere and was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Right now, the only one who could cooperate with them and save the Zhou Family was himself.
Of course, Shen Wen also had this ability.
However, if this brat dared to mobilize the Shen Family's resources, wouldn't he expose his identity?
Even if he really did that, Chu Yuan had plenty of ways to deal with him and force Zhou Xiaodie to keep coming to beg him.
After sending away Zhou Xiaodie and the others, Chu Yuan suddenly thought of something and called for Zuo Shishi.
"Shishi, if you are free this afternoon, go help me buy a hat. It needs to be green."
A green hat?
Zuo Shishi was stunned for a moment. Looking at Chu Yuan's lecherous gaze, she realized something and teased: "Young Master, who are you planning to give a green hat to?"
Naturally, no one dared to give Chu Yuan a green hat, so there was only one possibility.
Her Young Master was brewing up some evil scheme again, intending to put this green hat on some sucker.
"It's a secret, it's a secret!"
Chu Yuan revealed an inscrutable smile, believing that it wouldn't be long before this green hat found its owner.
Shanghai Hospital.
Zhang Yang came to the hospital again to take care of his mother.
After coming out of the police station, Zhang Yang had completely changed. He started to work hard, and after delivering a few orders, he completely activated the God-level Food Delivery System, gaining martial power and money.
The most important point was that he had encountered the second spring of his life. He met a girl he admired at the hospital, the little nurse Zhao Qin, who had been taking care of his mother.
"Zhang Yang, didn't you go to deliver food? Why are you here so early?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Qin, dressed in her nurse's uniform, appeared beside Zhang Yang, carrying bags of fruit in her hands.
"Zhao Qin, why did you bring so much fruit? Tell me how much it cost, and I will transfer the money to you."
After activating the system, Zhang Yang had become wealthy, with a net worth of several million.
Unlike a few days ago, when he couldn't even afford a cup of instant noodles.
"No need, it's just some fruit. It's a small gesture from me. Besides, your mother still needs a lot of money for her treatment."
Zhao Qin had heard from her colleagues at the hospital that a few days ago, Zhang Yang had been begging everyone for money, looking as pathetic as one could be.
She didn't know where Zhang Yang had gotten so much money in just a few days.
But one thing was certain: Zhang Yang must have gone through great hardships to get this money.
Now, every cent saved was a cent earned; she didn't want to spend Zhang Yang's money easily.
The two of them, one offering money and the other refusing, were seen by Zhang Yang's mother.
As someone who had been through it, how could she not understand the implication?
She smiled and said: "Zhao Qin is such a good girl. She has helped us so much for a while now. It's hard to find a girl like her even with a lantern."
"Zhang Yang, you must treat her well and not let this good girl down."
"Auntie, you… what are you saying? I still have work, I'll be going now!"
Zhang's mother's words stripped away the last layer of Zhao Qin's shyness, making her flee in embarrassment.
Only a bewildered Zhang Yang was left standing there at a loss, not knowing what had happened.
Seeing her silly son still standing there blankly, Zhang's mother felt frustrated: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and chase after her!"
"Oh!"
Coming to his senses, Zhang Yang hurried out to chase after her.
"Stop right there, you scammer! Where do you think you're running to!"
As soon as Zhang Yang chased after her, he was blocked by someone.
