Chapter 1616: Be Sensible

"After all, you are the President of the Chinese Association. If this gets out, it will be the entire Chinese Association that loses face, so be sensible, won't you?"

Huang Hong's expression was gloomy; he never imagined that things would come to this today.

He scrambled up and said through gritted teeth, "Your name is Chen Yu? I don't believe we have any grievances between us, do I?"

"We certainly have no grievances, but you occupy your position while acting like a human-shaped dog, yet you do nothing human—that is what I cannot forgive," Chen Yu said calmly. "Moreover, in this position, you have long since lost the will of the people. There is no point in clinging to it like this, so... resign yourself."

"Dream on," Huang Hong roared. "I..."

*Slap*—Chen Yu swung a slap that sent blood gushing from Huang Hong's mouth. The guy covered his mouth and retreated a few steps, then spat out a few teeth.

"You know, you're fine in every way, except for one thing: you're stubborn," Chen Yu said with a faint smile. "Do you think that if you don't step down voluntarily now, you'll still have a chance to leave?"

Huang Hong's mouth was full of blood from the beating, but looking at the agitated crowd before him, he couldn't help but shrink back. Yes, if he didn't offer to resign today, he feared he would have no chance of leaving this place.

Not to mention an existence as heaven-defying as Chen Yu, even the Chinese people behind him were eyeing him like tigers.

He knew that during his years in office, he and his son had been insatiably greedy, offending many people and leaving many with nowhere to turn.

He dared to say that if he really resisted to the end, the group of people before him would likely tear him to pieces.

"Well, have you thought it through?" Chen Yu looked at him with a look that was not quite a smile. "You don't have much time left. I'll give you one more minute. If you haven't thought it through, I will have to solve the problem in my own way."

"Don't, please... I've thought it through. Once I go back, I will submit my resignation to the Chinese Association and step down as President of the Chinese Association." Huang Hong was startled and quickly gave in.

Although he hadn't had much contact with Chen Yu, he understood that Chen Yu was definitely a man who kept his word. If he dared to delay any further, Chen Yu would truly use his own methods to deal with him.

A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him, so for now, he could only grit his teeth and endure it. Regardless of anything else, he had to escape this place first.

"Alright, did everyone hear that?" Chen Yu smiled faintly, turned his head, and said loudly, "This President Huang of the Chinese Association has proposed his resignation today. Did everyone hear that clearly?"

"Heard it clearly!" hundreds of people shouted in unison.

"Good. From now on, he is no longer the President of the Chinese Association; he doesn't need to submit a written resignation." Chen Yu turned to look at Huang Hong. "President Huang, write your resignation letter right now."

"Right now?" Huang Hong was furious. You can't bully people like this; at least give me some buffer time.

Having gone from being the high-and-mighty President of the Chinese Association to a commoner, the internal disparity was certainly unavoidable.

Moreover, he needed to find his confidants to discuss matters after his resignation and hand over the real power to them. That way, even if he resigned, he could still manipulate things from behind the scenes, and the General Association would still be under his control.

But Chen Yu wouldn't give him a single chance and told him to write the resignation letter right now.

"What, you're not willing?" Chen Yu glanced at him.

"No, of course I'm willing," Huang Hong said anxiously. "But Mr. Chen, I still have many things to hand over at the General Association. Do you think I could resign after I finish handing over my work?"

"No need. You and those few confidants of yours, get out of the Chinese Association together. Without you rats, I believe the Chinese people here will live very well," Chen Yu scolded him without any courtesy.

"What did you say?" Huang Hong was dumbfounded. He had originally thought he still had a backup plan, but Chen Yu's words had completely blocked that path.

"That's right. Those few confidants of yours are just like you—not a single one of them is any good. All of you, get out! Don't even think about staying in the General Association to cause us harm."

"That's right! Still thinking of controlling the General Association after leaving? Do you really think we're fools?"

"It's hilarious. How can a person be so greedy for power? Even at this point, he's still thinking about manipulating us..."

The surrounding crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter. Huang Hong's intentions were clearly written all over his face.

Was he really trying to play everyone for a fool? The General Association had been controlled by the Huang family for so many years; now that there was finally a chance to kick them out, who would let this bunch of parasites stay here?

"Either you agree, or I force you to agree. Choose one of the two." Chen Yu smiled faintly, staring at Huang Hong and putting pressure on him.

Finally, Huang Hong gave in. He nodded heavily, let out a long sigh, and said, "Fine, I agree. I will write the resignation letter now, announce the termination of my position as President of the Chinese Association in Fusang Chinatown, and guarantee... that I will never interfere in the affairs of the Chinese Association again."

"Get paper and pen ready," Chen Yu shouted loudly.

"Coming." Qishu walked over with paper and pen and handed them to Huang Hong personally. He smiled and said, "President Huang, I am giving you the paper and pen myself. Please begin. I have long heard that President Huang's literary talent is excellent; I must take a good look at the resignation letter you write today."

Huang Hong gritted his teeth, shot a hateful glare at Qishu, and then helplessly picked up the paper and pen to write the resignation letter.

"Good, President Huang is worthy of being an educated man; this resignation letter is written with such fluid grace." Qishu laughed heartily and gave a thumbs up. "I will personally deliver this resignation letter to the General Association now. Rest assured, President Huang, it will be approved by the Committee Member within half an hour at most."

"From now on, you are no longer the President. Be careful when you walk from now on; you haven't offended few people over these years," Qishu said triumphantly. "If you happen to get bludgeoned while walking, that wouldn't be good."

Another burst of laughter erupted. Qishu's reminder was not just the gloating of a petty person; indeed, Huang Hong and his son had offended many people over the years, so it was not guaranteed that someone wouldn't actually strike them with a club.

Huang Hong's expression was extremely ugly. Even now, he still felt he was the high-and-mighty President.

It was just that his treatment now was not so good; the crowd before him looked at him as if he were an enemy.

For the next period of time, he would certainly have to keep his tail tucked between his legs. After all, he had offended far too many people, and losing the position of President meant he had lost his power.

These people would certainly not miss the opportunity to step on him. Chen Yu's previous reminder was actually not wrong; it was possible that someone would really bludgeon him.

Thinking of this, the guy tucked his tail and hurried away from there, while rotten eggs and rotten tomatoes were already being thrown at him from behind.
