My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 210: Chapter 208: Learning to Fight Back (1) Xin Zaozao Threatened

Translator: 549690339

The Xin Family villa in the dark.

Mu Cidian gropes to find his stomach medicine from the medical box.

He’s the one who usually takes this medicine, so he knows exactly how many pills should be there.

Just as he turns to speak.

Xin Zaozao has already left.

Mu Cidian lightly purses his lips, picks out a pill, gets some water, and swallows it down.

The stomach medicine won’t relieve the pain instantly, but it will gradually ease.

Step by step, he returned to his room and lay on his bed.

Gazing at the ceiling, became oddly preoccupied.

Will Xin Zaozao one day end up like him?

The next day.

When Mu Cidian wakes up, Xin Zaozao has already left the villa with Nie Feng.

Despite having had trouble falling asleep the night before, whether due to stomach pain or having too much on his mind, he feels more refreshed in the morning. The discomfort in his stomach has eased, and he’s feeling somewhat more energetic.

He goes downstairs.

His mother is downstairs having breakfast in the living room.

Seeing her son, she immediately calls him over, “Cidian, come and have something to eat.”

Mu Cidian does not refuse.

After all, stomach pain is not a pleasant experience.

He sits down opposite his mother.

Wan Quan is immensely enthusiastic about serving her son, personally serving him rice porridge and peeling eggs for him.

Mu Cidian accepts everything graciously.

After finishing his meal, Mu Cidian wipes the corner of his mouth and prepares to leave.

“Cidian, where are you going?” Wan Quan asks him.

“To the company.”

“Oh, you’re so tired. Maybe you should take a break and stay away from the company for a while,” Wan Quan suggests.

Mu Cidian replies straightforwardly, “Though the shares are yours, and the board members are set by you, the position of the Xin Group’s general manager is mine. I will go to work as I see fit, until…”

Mu Cidian does not say anything more.

He turns and walks out of the house.

Before leaving, he hesitates for a moment and says to the housemaid, “Pack some breakfast for me.”

Wan Quan is surprised.

“My stomach’s acting up, it’s for lunch,” Mu Cidian explained.

Wan Quan doesn’t dwell on it but expresses her concern, “How come it’S acting up again? I told you to eat regularly. Cidian, I only have you as my son. In this world, it’s just you and I. If you don’t take care of your health, how will I live in the future?”

Mu Cidian responds with a sound of acknowledgment.

By this time, the maid had finished packing, and he takes the breakfast and leaves home.

He gets in the car and places the packed breakfast on the passenger seat. After glancing at it, he slowly starts the car and heads towards the Xin Group.

The car reaches its destination.

In fact, at this point, it’s normal working hours. Xin Zaozao usually gets there at least an hour earlier.

This is identical to his previous routine.

Working late into the night and rushing to work as soon as he wakes up.

The same week after week

He carries the breakfast into the elevator.

People in the surroundings come and go, all greet him with utmost respect.

They are all somewhat surprised to see him carrying a box of food.

In their eyes, the general manager is an incredibly cold person. It seemed out of character for him to bring his own meals.

Mu Cidian has never cared about the views of others. Once the elevator arrives at his floor, he steps out.

He walks straight up to Yan Quan’s desk.

Yan Quan’s desk is set up just outside Xin Zaozao’s office. Despite being in the large office area, the Chairman’s secretary’s treatment differs greatly from the other secretaries.

He hands the packed breakfast to Yan Quan, “Let her have something to eat.”

Yan Quan is taken aback.

Mu Cidian has already walked away.

Yan Quan watches Mu Cidian’s receding figure.

Speaking of Mu Cidian…he had really watched him grow and develop into what he is now.

When he came to the company at the age of 18, he was an intern from college, starting at the very bottom.

At that time, apart from the Chairman Xin He, only he knew of Mu Cidian’s actual identity. He was surprised as to why Mu Cidian had to start from such a low position. Xin He said that it was to test his determination.

However…

However, his ability was extraordinary.

Latter, the operation of the Xin Group was closely related to Mu Cidian, they were even somewhat reliant on him. This led to Chairman Xin He having no choice but to allow him to have more and more say in the Xin Group.

He even felt that if Chairman Xin He hadn’t had such a sudden accident, the future of the Xin Group might have been different…

Yan Quan felt he was just overthinking.

For him, he undoubtedly supported Xin He and Chairman Xin Zaozao. After all, this was the Xin family’s generations-old family business, any other person who coveted it would be an act of greed, it would be immoral.

Looking at the breakfast in front of him, he hesitated whether to give it to the Chairman.

No matter how tense their relationship was.

Even so, at that moment, he picked up the breakfast and went to Xin Zaozao’s office.

He knocked and entered.

Xin Zaozao looked at Yan Quan and straightforwardly asked, “Didn’t Liu Wudong come to the company?”

“I’ve alerted the front desk but he hasn’t been seen yet.”

“Hmm, keep an eye out today.”

‘Yes.” Yan Quan respectfully said, “I’ve also increased security on our floor by six people, in case of any sudden incidents they will be the first to respond.”

Xin Zaozao nodded.

She nodded, she had been continuously working without even lifting her head from the computer screen.

“Have you eaten breakfast, Chairman?” Yan Quan asked .

Xin Zaozao casually said, “I didn’t have time to eat.”

Just as she said this, she suddenly let go of the mouse in her hand.

Having a stomachache last night had not been a good experience.

She turned her head to look at the two breakfasts she had picked up on a whim this morning. Nie Feng had eaten his, and hers was probably cold by now.

As she was contemplating whether to just eat it, Yan Quan abruptly placed a breakfast in front of Xin Zaozao, “Eat your breakfast, your health is important. Your father always put a great emphasis on taking care of health…”

“Sadly, he’s no longer here.” Xin Zaozao said indifferently.

Yan Quan sighed helplessly, “Some things are unpredictable after all. Anyway, the most important thing is that you take care of your health first. Health is the capital for revolution.”

“Alright.” Xin Zaozao didn’t want to continue dwelling on her grief.

She was a naturally cold person.

She took the breakfast from Yan Quan’s hand and opened it.

An appetizing aroma wafted out, it was a refreshing smell.

Although she wasn’t hungry, her appetite was immediately aroused at that moment.

She started eating bite by bite.

Seeing her like this, Yan Quan felt a pang of pity.

If it wasn’t for the unpredictability of life, why would she have to try so hard at such a young age?

Xin Zaozao quickly finished eating and thanked him, “Uncle Yan, this is your home-cooked breakfast, isn’t it?”

It tasted completely different from the outside.

It didn’t have such a heavy essence flavor, nor such strong seasoning.

Yan Quan thought for a moment, then nodded.

Having followed Xin Zaozao for so long, he understood her character. As gentle and caring as she was towards those close to her, she would display equal hardness and coldness towards those she despised.

If she knew that it was Mu Cidian who prepared the breakfast, she might instantly refuse it.

“Please thank Auntie for me.” Xin Zaozao said with a smile.

She had eaten quite a lot.

“You’re welcome.”

“If it’s not too much trouble, can Auntie prepare one for me every day? I’ve been eating take-out for a while now, and I’m a bit fed up with it.” Xin Zaozao made the request, still a bit shy.

Yan Quan was taken aback.

“If it’s inconvenient, never mind. After all, Auntie has to take care of two kids, so it must be quite difficult. ”

“No, it’s not.” Yan Quan hastily shook his head, “It’s the same for me whether for one or more persons.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Xin Zaozao gave a smile. Yan Quan nodded.

Xin Zaozao turned her gaze and got back to her work.

Yan Quan left with the food.

Instead of returning to his own desk, he headed straight for the general manager’s office.

He knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Yan Quan pushed the office door open.

Mu Cidian looked up from his computer screen, looking at him and the food in his hand.

He knew he was making a redundant gesture.

He spoke nonchalantly, “Just put it over there.”

Yan Quan did so.

As he was leaving, he said, “The chairman said, if it is possible, prepare a meal for her every day. Of course, if it’S inconvenient, just forget it….” “Hmm,” Mu Cidian responded.

Yan Quan was left somewhat baffled.

Was this “hmm” a yes or a no?

“Then I won’t bother you with your work, General Manager Mu.” Yan Quan left.

The moment he left, Mu Cidian’s hand seemed to tremble slightly.

He thought that Zaozao would definitely refuse to eat it.

His thin lips pressed tightly, and his face tightened increasingly.

His secretary intended to bring him some coffee.

But through the office door, she saw her boss’ stern expression.

Sigh.

He was naturally so handsome, but why didn’t he ever smile?

He should look so charming when he smiles!

She bravely walked in regardless.

At ten in the morning.

Zaozao received a call from Liu Wudong.

Zaozao frowned.

She looked at the incoming call and bit her lip, “Director Liu.”

“Zaozao, aren’t you planning to call a board decision meeting? Are you?!” The person on the other side was very agitated, his voice loud.

“Board decision meetings involve many things. It’s not something you can call on a whim. Besides, for the golf resort project, I’m still evaluating it and I don’t intend to develop it at this moment.”

“Zaozao! You just wait!” The other side hung up violently.

Zaozao looked at the “Call Ended” on her screen. Her expression changed.

She made sure the security were present before she continued working, feeling slightly relieved.

She would rather take a temporary loss on this golf resort project than let Mu Cidian take advantage by developing it. A resort with top luxury configurations could bring enormous profits. She hadn’t finished estimating it yet, but the profits weren’t small. She wasn’t willing to just hand it over to Mu Cidian, she’d better not do it.

She could restart it after Mu Cidian was gone. It won’t be difficult.

Thinking about this, Zaozao didn’t invest much thought into it. But deep inside, she was still somewhat insecure, unsure about what Liu Wudong was planning to do.

At half past eleven in the morning.

Yan Quan suddenly burst through the door.

Zaozao knew something had happened.

Yan Quan urgently said, “Chairman, we just got the news that Chairman Liu Wudong is sitting on the rooftop of our building, muttering about wanting an explanation from you. If you don’t give him one, he says he’ll jump from Xin Group’s building!”

Zaozao scowled.

She never even imagined that Liu Wudong would go so far!

She thought he might come to her office to coerce her, to threaten her.

She gritted her teeth, “How did he get in? Didn’t we ask the reception desk to be careful?”

“He must have disguised himself. The reception desk said they didn’t notice him,” Yan Quan explained.

Zaozao thought about it. If Liu Wudong really wanted to come in, there were plenty of ways.

She didn’t dwell on it anymore at that moment. “What should we do now?” Yan Quan asked anxiously.

“Can someone get him down?” “Too dangerous,” Yan Quan said, “And he’s really upset, keeps demanding to see you!”

“Then, let’s go upstairs.”

“Chairman,”

“Anyway, it’s not me who wants to jump off the building, it wouldn’t hurt to take a look.” Xin Zaozao seemed quite at ease.

Yan Quan followed her.

Indeed, he felt that Xin Zaozao, the chairman, had greatly matured.

She handled situations with such poise that it was as if she were a completely different person compared to when she first arrived, you would never guess that she was just 23.

Xin Zaozao left her office.

Right then, she came face to face with Mu Cidian.

Xin Zaozao gave Mu Cidian a cold glance and took large strides forward.

Mu Cidian watched her back as she walked ahead, slowly following her steps.

Xin Zaozao and Mu Cidian got into an elevator.

In the quiet space, Xin Zaozao coldly said, “Mu Cidian, it seems you can think of all sorts of sinister moves.”

Mu Cidian looked at her. “You’ll stop at nothing to get the Xin Group!” Mu Cidian’s throat moved.

Xin Zaozao didn’t say anything more.

In fact, she didn’t want to have anything to do with Mu Cidian, even talking to him.

The elevator arrived.

Xin Zaozao stepped out.

She walked down a safety corridor and reached the roof.

There were a lot of people on the roof at this moment , all were employees of the company and more than twenty security guards. But everyone kept their distance because Liu Wudong was very excited and threatened to jump if anyone got a little closer, no one dared to approach.

Seeing Xin Zaozao’s reappearance, Liu Wudong became even more agitated. He said, “Xin Zaozao, you have finally appeared. You control the shares of the Xin Group but you do things that all of us directors can’t accept. You’re destroying the Xin Group that we’ve worked hard to build and develop. You’re literally pushing us towards death.”

Xin Zaozao frowned slightly.

She looked around.

Liu Wudong was sitting on the guardrail on the edge of the roof. The space around him was quite open, and one could easily fall off with a misstep.

She also saw a camera near Liu Wudong. It was probably recording everything.

Not just recording

It was livestreaming.

All the people in Jin City could see what Liu Wudong was doing right now.

As well as what she was going to do next.

She spoke, “As the Chairman of the Xin Group, every decision I make and every action I take is aimed at developing the Xin Group in a positive direction…”

“Bullshit!” Liu Wudong interrupted her, “A little brat of 23 years, a woman who has never been involved in business. What do you know about economics, the marketplace, and running a business? You’re driving us down a dead-end road.”

“What did I do that made you think I’m so incapable?!”

“The golf development project, a project worth billions, you say halt and we halt, did you consider the cost of human and material resources? Did you consider our losses for leaving the project idle? You act on your own will, disregarding the Group completely, where do you show concern for its growth and improvement?” Liu Wudong grew more agitated!

“I never said we wouldn’t do the golf development project; I just need time to consider the next partner. MRW’s sudden withdrawal of funds also requires time and consideration.”

“Hengda Group was right in front of you, they were willing to take over everything, why didn’t you agree?!”

“The Hengda Group, in my view, is not the best choice. Why can’t we have multiple options?!”

“Multiple options? What do you know! Do you think every group can fund your resort construction? Xin Zaozao, you don’t understand anything! Go back and continue being your milk-fed baby, all you need to do is receive your annual dividends. What makes you entitled to be the chairman of Xin Group?” Liu Wudong kept verbally attacking her.

Xin Zaozao bit her lip.

She knew very well, whatever she said now would be useless.

Liu Wudong’s plot was to put on a show for everyone to watch.

She asked, “What do you want in the end?”

“I want you to leave the Xin group, the board of directors will naturally select the best person to lead the group. We don’t need you dictating us!”

“What if I don’t agree?” Xin Zaozao’s expression turned grim.

“Then I’ll jump off from here.” Liu Wudong stated firmly.

“If that’s the case, there’s nothing I can do.” Xin Zaozao said bluntly. Liu Wudong seemed to not believe his own ears at that moment.

Others, too, were looking at Xin Zaozao in surprise.

They all thought that this Chairman probably had a weak personality or at least not as strong as she seemed just now.

This side of Xin Zaozao left people, astounded!
