Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Internal Troubles and External Threats

After dinner, Su Yang had nothing to do, so he went straight to Zhou Yinghao’s company.

Zhou Yinghao’s company was actually just a rented floor in an office building.

Although it was already past nine in the evening, the company was brightly lit with people sitting everywhere.

Everyone was busy. The project had already been put on the agenda, and they all had to do the preparatory work well.

”These are the veterans who have been with me since the start of my company,” Zhou Yinghao said. ”It’s also thanks to them that we have come this far. When the company was struggling, and the wages were delayed, they stayed loyal to me. I really should thank them!”

Su Yang looked around. Most of those sitting inside were young people with glasses, probably university graduates from Yinghao’s generation. Most of them still seemed a bit naive, probably quite capable with research and development, but not as experienced in worldly affairs.

However, the fact that these people stayed loyal despite the company’s inability to pay their salaries on time was commendable.

”Oh, come on, let’s not talk about that,” Chen Fei laughed. ”Let’s just focus on getting the first phase of the project done well. The first payment from Changsheng Corporation should be coming through soon. Then, we can pay back everyone’s salary in double!”

”You’re right, you’re right!” Zhou Yinghao nodded repeatedly, his face full of joy.

”Or should I tell them to send the first payment over now?” Su Yang suggested.

”Absolutely not!” Zhou Yinghao quickly shook his head, and Chen Fei also said, ”In business, you have to follow rules of cooperation. We were already being looked after when we received the first payment for our first batch of work. If we got the first payment without finishing the first phase of work, that would be a violation of the rules. We can’t do that!”

Su Yang shrugged. To him, this was a simple matter, but Zhou Yinghao was clearly someone who held rules in high esteem, so Su Yang said no more.

After a tour of the company, Su Yang arrived at Zhou Yinghao’s office door and saw a chubby guy sitting there with his head hanging down.

”Xiao Pang, what are you doing here?” Zhou Yinghao asked in surprise.

The chubby guy immediately stood up, anxious, ”Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, please save me, save me...”

”What happened?” Zhou Yinghao asked, puzzled.

”My mom, she... she has a heart problem, she needs surgery, and it will cost three hundred thousand. But... but I really can’t afford that much money...” Xiao Pang said, trembling: ”Brother Zhou, I’m sorry to bring this up now, but I... I really have no other choice, my mom... I’ve got to save my mom...”

”Calm down!” Zhou Yinghao’s expression changed as he quickly helped Xiao Pang to sit down, ”Does she need the surgery immediately? Three hundred thousand... that’s a lot of money. I can’t get hold of that much at such short notice!”

”Brother Zhou, I’m begging you...” Tears were streaming down Xiao Pang’s face: ”They’re pressing me hard, I... I really have no other option. Brother Zhou, you... you have to help me find a way. As long as you can save my mom, I... I will owe you my life!”

”Xiao Pang, don’t talk like that. You’ve been with me since you graduated, we’ve known each other for so long, I will definitely do everything I can,” Zhou Yinghao scratched his head, saying, ”How about this, wait here. I’ll call some friends to see if they can help out?”

”Brother-in-law, shall I go take a look for her?” Su Yang suddenly said.

Then Zhou Yinghao remembered, ”Oh, right, Xiao Pang, this is Fei Fei’s little brother, the ’miracle doctor’ I was telling you about. Let him have a look; he will definitely be able to help!”

”Brother Zhou, that won’t work!” Xiao Pang cried. ”My mom is in Wushan City, it... it will take us more than a day to get there, we won’t make it in time...”

”This...” Zhou Yinghao was at a loss.

”How about I try to think of something?” Su Yang said.

Zhou Yinghao’s face showed embarrassment, but he still said in a low voice, ”Su Yang, thank you.”

”We’re family; why the courtesy!” Su Yang took out his mobile phone when suddenly more people rushed in through the door.

”Zhou Yinghao, it’s time to pay back the money you owe us!” the leader shouted as he entered the room.

Seeing these people, Zhou Yinghao’s face changed abruptly, and he rushed over, saying, ”Brother Cheng, didn’t we agree that once the first payment comes in, I would immediately transfer it to you for the goods? I’m about to receive the first payment now, so why are you...”

”Quit your bullshit; whether or not your funds come has got nothing to do with me!” Brother Cheng, his face full of flesh, glared and said, ”I’m here today for money. Seventy thousand for the goods, and now after three months, with interest, it’s one hundred and eighty thousand. Pay up and we’re square. Otherwise, I’ll tear down your company!”

”Brother Cheng, what kind of joke are you making?” Zhou Yinghao became frantic: ”Seventy thousand for the goods, how did it become one hundred and eighty thousand? Even loan sharks don’t charge such high interest!”

”I don’t care what kind of loan it is!” Brother Cheng shouted angrily. ”You owe me money, and I can charge any interest I like. Either pay up or I’ll tear down your company, your call!”

”This...” Zhou Yinghao was so anxious he was running around in circles. Why was everything piling on all at once?

Yet another group came in the door, shouting, ”Hey, Zhou Yinghao, isn’t it time to settle the rent?”

Zhou Yinghao felt like he was about to spit blood; what was all this about? Everything had been agreed upon before, so why were they all coming to collect debts at once?

”Brother Zhou, save my mom...” Xiao Pang was still crying, and the scene was even more chaotic.

Just then, Su Yang stepped forward. He looked coldly at Brother Cheng and the landlord: ”I will give you your money in a moment. Now, get out immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”

They looked at each other, and Brother Cheng was the first to erupt, ”Motherfucker, what are you? How dare you talk to me like that? Fuck, you owe money and still trying to act tough? You know who I am? Big Brother Cheng, heard of me?”

”So, are you going to leave or not!” Su Yang said coldly.

”I’ll leave your mother...” Brother Cheng roared, about to take action, but at that moment, yet another group walked in through the door.

”Excuse me, which one of you is Mr. Zhou Yinghao?” the man in the lead asked.

”What... Who is this now?” Zhou Yinghao was near his breaking point; why were more people looking for him? There was never any good news!

”Hey, Zhou Yinghao, you owe quite a bit of money, don’t you!” Brother Cheng said proudly. ”I reckon even if you sold this company, it wouldn’t be enough, would it?”

”What do you want with me?” Zhou Yinghao asked, his face full of dismay.

”So you’re Mr. Zhou...” The man nodded and said, ”Well, my boss instructed me to deliver three billion yuan. Mr. Zhou, are you available to receive it right now?”
