514: You must stand up for me.

“Alright, stop crying. Tell me, who did this? Daring to touch my people on my turf, I want to see how bold he is!”

Feng Kexin pointed to a man and a woman not far away and said, “It was those two. They suddenly burst into my live stream, saying they needed me to cooperate with work.

All I did was say I was still doing my makeup and asked them to wait, and they immediately threw things at me.

Look at my face and hands, what a mess they are! Uncle Gu, you must stand up for me!”

Fang Liumei looked in the direction she pointed and realized one of them was actually the company's CEO, Dou Shan.

However, he merely smiled faintly. So what if she was the CEO? An ineffectual female CEO was nothing more than a puppet, manipulated by others.

Not to mention her, even Feng Kexin, who became famous because of him, couldn't be bothered with her.

Then he looked at the man beside her. Having worked his way up in the company for many years, Fang Liumei recognized at a glance that this man had an extraordinary demeanor.

He was clearly the type of person who either came from a wealthy family or had a powerful background.

But why would he care?

He was now a person of great importance in the company, second only to one and above tens of thousands.

Outside the company, he had also secretly sold information to rival companies, so he naturally had a fallback.

How could such a person humble himself before a rich second-generation heir?

After quickly assessing the identities of the two, Fang Liumei soon concluded—they were both people he could provoke.

Even if he had to take responsibility afterward, Feng Kexin would be his scapegoat.

“Hey, young man over there, come here.”

Xu Lian was originally sizing up Fang Liumei, who looked like a fat pig. When he heard him call him by name, he couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

These people didn't even recognize who he was, yet they dared to be so arrogant.

It seemed Dou Shan had indeed had a difficult time in this company before.

“I'm talking to you, why are you just standing there? Come here, don't make me really angry, or I won't be so polite.”

Seeing that he didn't recognize him at all and was still acting so pompous, Xu Lian couldn't help but laugh.

He squatted down to comfort Dou Shan, whispering in her ear, “Take care of yourself, I'll be back in a moment.”

“He is our company's Administrative Director, responsible for live streaming operations.

Recently, our performance has relied entirely on them, so… he's gotten a bit carried away. You need to be careful.” Dou Shan was about to warn Xu Lian when she suddenly realized who he was.

How could someone who could effortlessly manage an entire team of conference staff at China's most prestigious internet summit suffer a loss in such a conflict?

So, her voice grew softer and softer halfway through her sentence.

Xu Lian looked back at her, a smile on his face: “Don't worry, just watch my performance. I’ll get some revenge for you.”

He walked up to Fang Liumei.

Xu Lian, at one meter eighty-three, towered over Fang Liumei, who barely reached one meter sixty, like an adult looking down at a child.

What Fang Liumei couldn't stand most, besides a certain physical function not working too well, was his short stature, which made him prone to ridicule.

Xu Lian standing so close, exuding a strong sense of pressure, instantly agitated his emotions.

“Stand back! So close, are you trying to hit me?”

“Haha, you're not too stupid. You're right, I do have that thought.”

“You…” Fang Liumei originally wanted to provoke the young man in front of him with a few harsh words, but Xu Lian's retort left him speechless, his face flushed red with indignation.

“You young people of this age are just ignorant, relying on your family's money to cause trouble outside. Don't you know that there are always people better than you, and there's always a higher heaven? This place isn't somewhere you can do as you please.”

Fang Liumei spoke with the air of an elder, trying to use this lecturing tone to assert his position, making himself appear to be on the side of justice, so that others wouldn't accuse him of bullying out of old age.

What was this called? It was called doing bad deeds under the guise of justice.

Xu Lian saw through his thoughts at a glance and said calmly, “Hmm, hearing you say that, it does sound quite reasonable.”

“Of course it does!” Fang Liumei felt that he had already suppressed Xu Lian's momentum and immediately prepared to press on, intending to have people come in and teach him a lesson. “Today, I'll discipline you on behalf of your parents. You, ah, are still…”

The thought of something different happening with Feng Kexin later made his heart bloom with joy.

But his words were cut short by Xu Lian.

“But have you ever thought that in this world, there really are a few people who can do whatever they want?”

“Hahahaha! Kid, you're still too green. Don't talk so wildly. Even I, who've made it this far, wouldn't dare say I'm afraid of no one.

Who are you?”

“Uncle Gu, don't waste your breath on him! I'm going live in a bit, and now, because of him, I can't do anything. Today's viewers might even go to other live streams to send gifts.

Uncle Gu~~”

The last coy remark made Fang Liumei feel utterly comfortable. How could he possibly resist acting? No need to wait until evening, taking her directly to the office wouldn't be out of the question.

But before that, he had to get rid of this troublesome fellow in front of him.

“Little brat, don't blame us for being strong in numbers. It's your fault for being too green; you simply don't know that many things in this world aren't fair.

Although I have a rough idea of what happened between you, on my turf, you'd better behave!”

As he spoke, he shouted towards the door, “Security! Come in and take him away! I think he's just Kexin's crazy fan, running to the company to harass her and even throwing things and hitting people.”

“Uncle Gu, film this and post it on Weibo! When I go live later and talk about it, our company can make another big profit from gifts!”

“Alright, our Kexin really has a brain!” Fang Liumei laughed as he pulled out his phone to record, and the security guards started filming as soon as they entered.

Seeing the security guards rush in to grab Xu Lian, Dou Shan couldn't help but stand up, wanting to rush over and help him.

But just then, Xu Lian looked at her.

His gaze was calm and composed. He raised his right index finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet, and even winked, as if reassuring her.

She didn't know why, but her heart, which had been racing with anxiety, inexplicably calmed down the moment she saw him, as if as long as Xu Lian smiled, nothing could go too wrong.

“Little fellow, behave yourself. If it really comes to blows, it won't end well.

With your physique, you might end up in the hospital for a few days.”

“Haha, so delicate, two hits and he'll probably be crying for his mommy and daddy.”

“Hehe, it's been a long time since we've encountered such a pretty boy.

Today, we'll teach him a good lesson, and Director Gu will definitely give us red envelopes.”

The security guards swaggered closer to Xu Lian, thinking he was just a paper tiger who couldn't even withstand a flick of a finger.
