Chapter 510: Zhu Junhao's Threat

After the division of work ended, Chen Yang directly returned to the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company.

The advantage of both companies being in the same building is that it saves the time spent running back and forth.

However, just as he arrived at the company entrance, the front desk told him that a boss named Zhu Junhao had come to see him, and Shen Anna was receiving the visitor.

Chen Yang thought Zhu Junhao had gone abroad like Wang Haifeng, but he didn't expect him to have come back.

He walked into Shen Anna's office and happened to see Zhu Junhao sitting on the sofa drinking tea. Meanwhile, Shen Anna was handling company documents and completely ignored him.

"Director Zhu, what wind blew you here?" Chen Yang, although he didn't like Zhu Junhao, still politely greeted him out of respect for Sun Changqing's face.

Seeing Chen Yang arrive, Zhu Junhao immediately put down his teacup and feigned anger, saying, "Chen Yang, you've gotten me into terrible trouble. To avoid Wang Haifeng, I almost got eaten by wolves in the mountains."

Chen Yang wouldn't believe his nonsense and directly asked, "Director Zhu, regarding the Worry-free Residence matter, are you not involved in the case?"

Zhu Junhao said with a relieved expression, "Thanks to you helping me earn that hundred million to fill the gap, otherwise I'd have to spend several years in prison."

Upon hearing that, Chen Yang feigned displeasure and said, "Director Zhu, it seems I saved your life. Yet you not only don't feel grateful, but you've come here to throw dirt on me?"

Zhu Junhao immediately switched to a smile and said, "Chen Yang, I don't mean to blame you. But next time you want to deal with someone, you must first make it clear to me. I don't want to be used as a pawn."

Chen Yang couldn't help but think to himself, laughing, "Has this guy been used as a pawn few times?"

"Director Zhu, you don't come to the Three Treasures Hall without reason—what brings you here this time?"

Seeing Chen Yang's all-business attitude, Zhu Junhao simply stated his purpose.

"Chen Yang, I have two matters. First, I've resolved the procedural issues for the Aspiring New Group. From now on, you must still handle the building materials business for the East River New City and East River Second Bridge Old City Renovation Project for me."

"Second, since General Manager Ye has already been taken in, I want to take over her shares in the Stellar Brilliance Financial Investment Company."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Anna, who was processing documents, immediately stopped work. She snorted coldly, "Director Zhu, you want to take Yexin's shares? You're hardly qualified!"

Zhu Junhao laughed and said, "I have plenty of criminal evidence against General Manager Ye. If you don't give me the shares, I'll make her stay inside for a few more years."

Hearing that, Shen Anna angrily cursed, "Surname Zhu, you're truly shameless!"

"Manager Shen, go ahead and curse; I won't lose any flesh anyway." Zhu Junhao gave a smug smile, stopped paying attention to Shen Anna, and turned his gaze back to Chen Yang.

"Manager Chen, you'd better realize that General Manager Ye's fate is in your hands."

Chen Yang calmly said, "The building materials supply for East River New City is arranged by Mayor Sun. If you have objections, you can go to Mayor Sun."

"As for General Manager Ye's shares, you can go to the prison yourself to talk with her. If she agrees, it's simple; if she doesn't, I have no authority to transfer her shares to you."

Zhu Junhao knew Yexin's character well; even though she was in prison, he didn't dare provoke her. "Manager Chen, I've said my piece. You can pass it on to General Manager Ye yourself. I hope you can give me a reply within a week." Having said that, he stood up and left.

Watching his retreating back, Shen Anna angrily pounded the desk. "Boss, this guy is utterly shameless; let's go report him directly to Governor Liu!"

"Anna, don't rush!" Chen Yang soothed Shen Anna and said gently, "Zhu Junhao doesn't have the guts to demand shares from Yexin, nor could he possibly have leverage over her; someone behind the scenes is surely pulling the strings."

Hearing that, Shen Anna's emotions gradually calmed. She looked seriously at Chen Yang and said, "Boss, can you be sure Zhu Junhao has no leverage over Yexin?"

Chen Yang nodded and said, "Yexin burned all the other criminals' evidence from Worry-free Residence; how could she have left her own? This is definitely someone behind the scenes causing trouble, deliberately trying to deceive us."

Shen Anna's brows furrowed, she gritted her teeth and swore, "If I find out who's behind this, I'll drag them out and chop them up to feed the dogs!"

Chen Yang hadn't expected Shen Anna to explode in anger as fiercely as Yexin, so he hurriedly soothed her: "Anna, don't act rashly; we live in a rule-of-law society. Leave Zhu Junhao's matter to me to handle."

Shen Anna told Chen Yang, "You have plenty to handle as well; let's split up and investigate! Over these two years, I've built up many connections in Xingcheng, so finding out who's behind the mischief isn't difficult."

Seeing her insistence on joining in, Chen Yang didn't try to dissuade her further.

After work, he took two bottles of Maotai and two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes to Chen Bing's home in the Sunshine Garden residential area.

The door was opened by Zhong Lin; seeing Chen Yang holding cigarettes and alcohol, she wasn't very pleased.

"Chen Yang, you can come over for a meal anytime; don't bring these things anymore. I'm currently urging Chen Bing to quit smoking and drinking, and these items will ruin my plan."

Chen Yang laughed, "Sister-in-law, this is for the old master; if you have time, please send it over for me."

Upon hearing it was for her father-in-law, Zhong Lin immediately smiled. "Chen Yang, sorry, I misunderstood you earlier. Please come in; Chen Bing is feeding the baby."

Chen Yang handed the cigarettes and alcohol to Zhong Lin, then swiftly changed into a comfortable pair of slippers. While changing shoes, he lifted his head, and his gaze happened to fall on Chen Bing in the living room.

At that moment, Chen Bing was sitting seriously on the sofa, feeding the child in his arms.

Seeing this, Chen Yang couldn't help but smirk teasingly and said, "Brother Bing, you're the esteemed police station chief—how come your status at home is so low? You've actually sunk to the point of feeding the baby!"

Chen Bing gave Chen Yang a sideways glance and said testily, "Don't get smug; in a few months you'll be in the same boat as me."

Chen Yang laughed, "I don't have that patience. If Lin Wei doesn't breastfeed, I'll just hire a nanny to take care of the child."

Upon hearing that, Chen Bing sighed helplessly, "I also want to hire a nanny, but Zhong Lin is unwilling to spend the money."

Chen Yang immediately turned to Zhong Lin and said, "Sister-in-law, you two both have your own careers to attend to; don't skimp on the nanny's fee. If necessary, I'll reimburse you."

Zhong Lin shook her head and said, "Chen Yang, don't listen to his nonsense. During the day, the child is taken care of by my mother and mother-in-law taking turns, and the old master sometimes comes over to help. We really don't need a nanny!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the outer door suddenly opened, and then Old Master Chen and his wife walked in briskly from outside.
