Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 359: Chapter 358: How is Robbery This Fast?

”Lawyer Su, actually... why must this be...” Zhao Jianbang’s voice trembled, ”I didn’t know about the contract issue...”

”You’re the chairman of the company, you not knowing doesn’t mean you can get away with it!” Su Yang laughed, ”Chairman Zhao, after so many years in business, you shouldn’t need me to remind you of this!”

Zhao Jianbang’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, he said in a low voice, ”Actually, this... it was a mistake on the part of the legal department, I’m really sorry, I... I will make sure to severely punish them when I get back...”

”What to reward or punish is your company’s business. We act according to the contract, according to the law.” Su Yang laughed, ”Chairman Zhao, I will have someone come over to calculate the total amount, and then let’s remember to sync up. I’ve done a preliminary estimate, and it looks like your company will probably have to compensate about thirteen billion yuan!”

”What...” Zhao Jianbang’s eyes widened, ”Thirteen billion, but... the company would be ruined!”

”Hehe, those thirteen billion are what you owe us...” Su Yang laughed, ”But the 570 million we previously gave you, you’ll have to give that back to us too. After all, we’re not the ones who breached the contract, right!”

Zhao Jianbang slumped to the ground, weakened; all in all, they would have to pay nearly nineteen billion yuan. His company, his lifetime of hard work, was going to be destroyed.

”That’s nearly nineteen billion yuan...” Zhao Wenfeng said anxiously, ”Why don’t you just rob us?”

”I certainly don’t agree with that!” Su Yang laughed, ”Robberies are not that lucrative. Where can you rob nineteen billion yuan?”

”You...” Zhao Wenfeng was flustered; he had never encountered such talk before.

”If you want to rob someone, you’ve definitely come to the wrong place!” Zhao Wenfeng said angrily, ”I’m telling you, Zhaobang Entertainment is not a company you can just bully. Today, you either leave that termination contract behind, or, you won’t be able to leave this place!”

”Oh, are you getting ready to commit robbery?” Su Yang laughed, extended a finger, and casually tapped it on the table.

With a thunderous boom, the table burst apart as if shattered by an immense force.

Everyone around was stunned. Su Yang laughed, ”Manager Zhao, trying to be tough with me? You’ve really picked on the wrong person. When it comes to fighting, I’ve never been afraid of anyone!”

Zhao Wenfeng was shaking with fear; he had never seen such otherworldly abilities. A single fingertip had blown up a solid wood table; was this magic?

”As for the money, you better hurry up and scrape it together.” Su Yang laughed, ”Of course, if you think it’s too much and don’t want to pay, that’s fine too. The lawyers will be in touch, and if it comes to court, we can settle this slowly. Everyone, I’ll be taking my leave!”

With a cheerful smile, Su Yang walked out of the room, leaving everyone inside in a silence as deep as death, with no one daring to speak.

It took a long while before Zhao Jianbang managed to stand up, trembling, with the help of a chair.

”Dad...” Zhao Wenfeng quickly went to support him.

”Get away!” Zhao Jianbang shoved off Zhao Wenfeng’s hand with force, but the effort caused him to fall to the ground.

Zhao Wenfeng wanted to help, but Zhao Jianbang shoved him away again: ”Zhao Wenfeng, you useless thing. All the family wealth I’ve amassed in my lifetime isn’t enough to cover this mess you’ve made. You know, I saved all this wealth, hoping to pass it on to you, and you’ve squandered it just like that. Not only that, you’ve even blown through my retirement savings. Zhao Wenfeng, that’s all I’m capable of. From now on, fend for yourself!”

Zhao Wenfeng turned ashen. He was very familiar with the family’s financial situation. Nearly 1.9 billion, they estimated they’d have to sell all the company shares just to pay it off. Without these shares, they’d be completely destitute. Where could they find the carefree life they used to have?

”Ah, how could I have expected that Ying’er would be able to turn things around like this!” Zhao Wenfeng said indignantly: ”If she can’t clear her name, we wouldn’t have to worry about all this!”

”I’ve said it before, until this matter settles, don’t be hasty!” Zhao Jianbang snapped: ”You just don’t listen, and now look, the company’s chance for development is gone, and we might even lose the company. Zhao Wenfeng, just keep it up. I’d like to see how you’re going to eat in the future!”

After Zhao Jianbang spoke, he staggered to his feet with the help of a chair. Barely taking two steps, his vision darkened, and he fainted to the floor.

...

Su Yang then went to the program team’s side, and as soon as he entered the room, he could hear the station head cursing and yelling from afar.

”Wang, who the hell do you think you are? If it weren’t for me giving you a chance, you’d still be sitting on the bench. What the hell are you doing now? I promoted you, and you stab me in the back? Haven’t I been good enough to you? Is this how you repay me? Fuck off, let me tell you, if I can’t make your life miserable, I’ll fucking take your last name!”

The producer sat on the floor with a bloody head, not daring to utter a word. In the TV station, the station head really could rule with an iron fist.

When Su Yang entered, everyone’s gaze suddenly shifted to him.

The station head was angry, and upon seeing Su Yang, his brow furrowed immediately: ”Who are you? Who let you in!”

”Station Head, this is Miss Ying’er’s lawyer Su Yang...” someone beside hurriedly whispered.

”What?” Station Head Zhou’s eyelid twitched, and he jumped up from his chair, putting on a big smile, and rushed over to Su Yang, shaking his hand: ”Oh, it turns out to be Miss Ying’er’s lawyer. Hello, hello. I’m Zhou Changyuan, head of this TV station. I’m truly honored to meet you!”

”Honored?” Su Yang said with a faint smile: ”Station Head Zhou, I’m afraid I’m not here with good news.”

Zhou Changyuan was taken aback but still grinned: ”Oh, Lawyer Su, your visit itself is an honor for our station. What could possibly be bad news? You’re too modest!”

”That remains to be seen!” Su Yang glanced at the producer and smiled: ”I’m here to see Director Wang.”

”Oh, is there anything I can help with?” Zhou Changyuan replied with a smile, while giving the producer a stern look: ”Are you deaf? Lawyer Su is here for you, get up quickly!”

The producer scrambled up, saying tremulously: ”Lawyer Su... good to meet you...”

”Don’t be so polite.” Su Yang smiled: ”I’m mainly here to talk to you about this penalty for breach of contract!”

”Oh, Lawyer Su, I’m really embarrassed about that!” Zhou Changyuan said hastily: ”I just heard about it. It wasn’t our station’s intent, it was all Wang’s doing on his own accord. Actually, our station has no intention of terminating the contract with Miss Ying’er, nor had we considered asking for a penalty. I’ll have them refund the penalty right away, how’s that?”
