Chapter 114: The Great Villain Yang Tianxing
"Calling her a princess, she's actually just a princess in distress; her mother doesn't have much status in the Zhao family, just like a concubine."
"The Zhao family has an industry worth over 100 billion, yet they only gave her an electronics manufacturing plant."
"The key is that she's a student who just returned from studying in the United States. So what if she has high academic credentials? She has no experience at all and is already thinking about reform. Boss Li, you have to hold up under the pressure."
"Old Zhao, you even share a surname with him; how are you not from the same clan?"
"Hahahaha, I would actually like to be her uncle."
Zhao Wenbo went to the Tianshui Gathering to drink tea in the afternoon, so Yang Tianxing hid a recorder in his briefcase; as it turned out, he really did hear quite a lot of content when he got it back.
"Zhao Qingxun."
Yang Tianxing silently repeated this name again and opened Baidu to search for it, but it was actually blocked protected content.
He searched for the Zhao family specifically, but among the series of results that popped up, there was nothing of much value; the most recent news was about the third branch causing a stir over dividing the family assets, and various media outlets were estimating the third branch's net worth.
These things were too far removed from ordinary people, and Yang Tianxing was an ordinary person now, too; he couldn't fathom much of the information.
"Click, click."
Yang Tianxing fiddled with his lighter while thinking about when it would be most appropriate to release the recording.
Turning his head, he discovered Liu Jiaoyue staring at him from the side; after their eyes met, she shyly lowered her head and continued reading.
"What are you looking at? Like a fool."
Yang Tianxing said with a stern face.
Liu Jiaoyue was inexplicably snapped at, so she looked up and stared blankly at Yang Tianxing.
Yang Tianxing's playful mood surged; he dragged his stool a bit closer to Liu Jiaoyue's side and gently nudged her with his leg.
Although it was night now and there wouldn't be any more business, students still occasionally passed by the door, so Liu Jiaoyue moved her leg to the side.
Her skin was very thin; she wouldn't be lovey-dovey in public.
Yang Tianxing followed her relentlessly, and Liu Jiaoyue moved a bit more.
In the end, Yang Tianxing sat sideways on the stool, still leaning against Liu Jiaoyue.
Liu Jiaoyue had no choice but to reach out and gently push Yang Tianxing: "No, don't be like this."
Yang Tianxing smiled and stopped moving his leg, but reached out to take off the mask on Liu Jiaoyue's face.
A rosy, gentle face was revealed under the light; perhaps because Yang Tianxing's actions were too excessive, she pouted, looking somewhat unhappy, but she didn't dare to say anything.
In fact, Liu Jiaoyue had a charming, delicate figure that should have blossomed into a variety of alluring beauties, but she was too innocent, her eyes clear and bright, and she had been bullied by Yang Tianxing into a complete pushover.
Just as Yang Tianxing was about to continue teasing her, the school security guard suddenly walked to the door and said: "Boss Yang, there are two people outside looking for you; they say they are your fellow townsmen."
Since the 101 Startup Base started, couriers often had to enter and exit the school gate, and Yang Tianxing had long since "bribed" these security guards by using the incident of Deng Yidi's first love coming to cause trouble and his own status as a student cadre of the Youth League Committee.
That was why they jokingly called him "Boss Yang."
Yang Tianxing was a bit puzzled: "Who is looking for me? Can't they just come in? The school doesn't even register people now."
The security guard said: "The two of them clearly aren't university students, and one of them even has dyed yellow hair, so we stopped them."
"A fellow townsman with dyed yellow hair?"
Yang Tianxing suddenly remembered who it was, but he didn't dare to be sure, so he stood up and said: "I'll go take a look."
Walking to the door, it was indeed the two brothers, "Long Spear" Su Weiyu and "Pressing Spear" Su Weilei; they looked somewhat haggard, their lips were peeling, and their hair was covered in dust.
"Tianxing..."
Su Weiyu's voice was a bit dry.
Yang Tianxing didn't say anything; he waved his hand to let them into the school and took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket to toss to the guard: "Thanks."
The security guard looked at it—it was actually a pack of Su cigarettes—and said with a beaming smile: "Boss Yang, you're too polite."
"Didn't I give you my phone number that day? Why didn't you call?"
Yang Tianxing asked Su Weiyu.
"No money to make a call."
Su Weiyu said in a low voice: "We ran out of the factory; we didn't even have time to grab our wallets."
Yang Tianxing raised an eyebrow: "A black-market factory?"
"No, it's a legitimate factory."
Su Weiyu cleared his hoarse throat: "We were kicked out for fighting."
Yang Tianxing chatted while leading them back to the 101 Startup Base.
Liu Jiaoyue was slightly surprised to see strangers, but Yang Tianxing knew many people, and those visiting weren't necessarily all students, so she took the initiative to pour two cups of warm water and place them on the table.
"Thank you."
Su Weiyu thanked her politely, while Su Weilei didn't care about that; he took the cup and drank it down in big gulps.
Seeing their state, Yang Tianxing knew they hadn't eaten, so he asked Liu Jiaoyue to go buy some bread.
"When we met before the New Year, I said I wanted to come to Chang'an to find work..."
Su Weiyu began to explain the reason.
They had indeed come to a factory in Chang'an after the New Year to work, and things were going quite smoothly at first, but Su Weilei had a very explosive temper; he argued with someone over a small matter regarding their living arrangements, and later it escalated into a physical fight.
However, the other party had a group of fellow townsmen, and there was strength in numbers; no matter how well the two brothers could fight, they couldn't hold out, and coupled with the fact that Su Weiyu was unwilling to fight back, they eventually had to flee the factory to seek refuge.
The two didn't dare go back, and they had no money on them; they couldn't find a place to stay in the vast city of Chang'an, so finally, Su Weiyu thought of Yang Tianxing.
After Liu Jiaoyue returned with the bread, Yang Tianxing asked her to go back to the dormitory first.
Su Weiyu took the bread with some shame; this situation was truly too destitute.
"What are your plans for later?"
Yang Tianxing leisurely lit a cigarette and asked.
"Not sure."
Su Weiyu does not know what the next step should be right now.
Yang Tianxing looked at the two brothers, then looked at that audio recording of Zhao Wenbo on the computer, pondered for a moment, and said, "If you want to return to Jinzhou, I will give you some travel money; if you don't want to return, I can also help you find a job."
"I'm not going back."
Su Weiyu said very firmly, "Since I made up my mind to come out, then I will not return to Jinzhou."
"How about you?"
Yang Tianxing looked at Su Weilei again.
Su Weilei was actually very unwilling to ask Yang Tianxing for help, but he did not know of any other way out, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not going back either."
"That's good, I will find a way to make arrangements."
Yang Tianxing suddenly made a turn, "However, my style is a bit overbearing; on my turf, you have to listen to me, so Su Weilei, you shave off that yellow hair first."
"On what grounds!"
Su Weilei stood up immediately, threw down his bread, and said, "Yang Tianxing, I know you are deliberately targeting me. If this place won't keep me, there will be other places that will. Brother, let's go."
There was some hesitation on Su Weiyu's face.
Yang Tianxing looked at the crumbs all over the floor and walked over to pick up the bread, "Your younger brother respects you but is not afraid of you. If he has no one to fear in this world with his personality, he will likely cause trouble again."
Su Weiyu did not speak; the actual situation was indeed like this.
Yang Tianxing patted his shoulder, "Let me be the bad guy."
"What are you going to do? He has already left."
Su Weiyu was a bit stunned.
"He can't leave; the Finance Institute is my turf."
Yang Tianxing picked up the phone, "Hello, is this the guard room? I am Yang Tianxing from 101. A hooligan with dyed yellow hair just stole 200 yuan from me here; help me pin him down."
"If he resists."
Yang Tianxing glanced at Su Weiyu, smiled, and said, "Then beat him to death."
