Chapter 306: You Have No Regard for the Law

As soon as he heard that his son actually wanted to call the police and have them arrested, the man's eyes widened—on what basis should they be locked up?

If anyone should be arrested, it ought to be the unfilial son.

The son is not only unfilial, he even dares to threaten them.

Today he will make his son understand what true royal law is.

"You have no regard for the law—do you think calling the police can stop the bond between father and son? Even legally, there is room for leniency, isn't there?"

In his view, as long as he is the father, even if the law tries to govern him, he will always consider himself superior.

Faced with such ignorant people, Jiang Cheng didn't want to speak to them; they are easily provoked into doing things that harm their children.

And the people before him treated Lin Xinyuan merely as a tool, so he had them driven out.

Finally the ward grew quiet, and Jiang Cheng also instructed the hospital security, if possible, not to let them in.

The caregiver felt that this time, having gone out to buy a meal, he had encountered this situation, and he felt especially guilty.

He felt he was not up to the job.

"Sorry, boss, I had planned to buy food and then return to stay by his side, but who could have imagined they'd find a loophole and just walk in? I wasn't prepared at the time."

Sensing the caregiver's guilt, Lin Xinyuan also felt the caregiver had done his job well; if anything needed to be said, it was only because that pair of beasts weren't cooperative, leading them to come in—it had nothing to do with the caregiver, and he prepared to say a few more words in his defense.

Jiang Cheng, however, said: "No need to apologize to me; it's just that the two of them keep one person busy, so if you're overwhelmed, just let me know and I can hire another caregiver."

As soon as he spoke, the caregiver panicked—hiring another caregiver would mean his work was inadequate.

"Boss, sorry, I will definitely improve—please don't fire me, okay?"

"I can manage on my own; at worst I'll stand guard at the door and order takeout from now on."

Having lost this job, where else could he find work?

He is a retired old teacher; his household expenses are too high, so he can only come out to work.

Jiang Cheng froze; he had no intention of firing the caregiver, but rather felt the caregiver was struggling, so he wanted to ease his pressure.

"You've misunderstood my meaning; if you feel you can handle it, I won't hire help—please don't put any pressure on yourself."

After his persuasion, the caregiver finally relaxed, and the aunt peeled fruit for each of them.

She spoke about her own family situation, hoping Lin Xinyuan could let go.

Such parents, the aunt, despite her age, has seen worse; but people must go on living and cannot give up their lives just because of their family of origin.

"There was once a wicked woman who clung to her children; if they didn't give her money, she would not only follow them around but even smash their company, causing the children to lose their jobs—especially terrifying, yet this is still the better case."

Even if the children married, they still had to hand over half their salary each month, and sometimes mid‑month she would demand more money.

Upon hearing this, both of their worldviews were greatly shaken; the presence of the caregiver aunt could lift Lin Xinyuan's spirits. "This afternoon a new actor is coming over; I need to go talk to him—his singing skills are quite good. You stay here and rest well; if anything comes up, call me anytime, don't hesitate to bother me."

It was already nearing quitting time, but the actor should have arrived at the company; the secretary was receiving him, at least not leaving him feeling lonely.

But Jiang Cheng couldn't afford to delay further; he didn't like making people wait, and although he was a boss, he felt he shouldn't overstep.

Lin Xinyuan naturally understood that his boss usually had many things to attend to and couldn't be delayed because of him.

Today the boss had indeed helped him resolve the issue, but the boss constantly shuttles between company and hospital, basically having no rest time, let alone time for a romance.

"Boss, go attend to your own affairs; the hospital side is basically fine, and if they come again next time, I'll call the police directly and won't give them any chance to exploit."

After a few words, Jiang Cheng left.

Upon arriving at the company, sure enough it was the singer who had come out of the training camp; he had previously gone viral online for his looks, but was eliminated due to the program's rules.

The company staff welcomed him wholeheartedly, laying out various things before him, but Lu Shiye had little interest in the food; he wanted a definite answer, to see whether he could stay.

If not, he would still have to look for work elsewhere; people with his looks sometimes can make money just by casually streaming online.

But having already stepped into another circle, how could he willingly re‑enter the influencer world?

"Good day, boss, I'm Lu Shiye; this is my résumé."

His performance was remarkable, yet he hadn't expected the boss to be even younger than he imagined; he had heard before that the boss was a young man.

But upon seeing him now, the boss seemed far too young; when he first approached, he had thought he was an actor or singer from the company.

Jiang Cheng took the résumé and flipped through it casually.

Apart from his rich training‑camp experience, Lu Shiye's education is decent, and he has also done considerable public‑service work, all of which he listed there.

"Why were you eliminated during your time at the training camp?"

Jiang Cheng was curious; he had heard that the training camp was meant to pick out the best singers, he remembered that the singer before him was quite capable, so why was he suddenly eliminated?

With a bitter smile on his face, Lu Shiye had no workplace scheming; he spoke frankly.

"Boss, it's like this—I also don't want to be eliminated, but they had already fixed the contestants; despite my high vote count, backstage manipulation occurred, and the program team gave me several thousand dollars to leave."

If he dared to speak out, the program team would surely make things hard for him, and he would have to claim he quit voluntarily.

At least among fans, that's what he says.

He cannot oppose the capitalists; otherwise, in the entertainment industry he would hardly make a ripple and would be shunned by other capitalists.

His bitter smile reminded Jiang Cheng of recent college graduates who cannot find jobs and have to bow to capitalists.

While feeling sorry for him, Jiang Cheng also recalled that Lu Shiye's stage performance back then was actually quite noteworthy. (End of chapter)
