“Pussen Island? Isn’t that too far? It takes a long time to go there and back.” Bei’s mother was already worried that Bei’s father wouldn’t have time to go.
Bei’s father stepped forward and said with a smile, “It’s alright. After this busy period, I’ll have half a month of rest time, which is perfect for a proper vacation there.”
Bei Yutang slammed her hand on the table and said, “Since everyone agrees, then let’s go to Pusen Island!”
The family was happy and cheerful, and the other side was equally joyful.
“Brother Qian, soon, the Bei family will be penniless. Then you’ll get what you want.”
Qian Minghao, with his arm around a busty beauty, his lecherous hands constantly roaming over her body, said casually, “You did a good job this time. After that old bastard from the Bei family lost all his assets, I’ll leave you some money as a reward for your hard work.”
Liangzi gritted his teeth in anger upon hearing this.
Damn it, he was the one who handled this whole thing. Even if he didn’t get all the money, he should at least get half. Judging from his tone, he was planning to just give him a small sum of money to get rid of him.
Was he being treated like a beggar?
Liangzi’s face was very ugly, but fortunately, the lighting in the private room was dim, so it wasn’t noticeable at all. Even if it were noticeable, Qian Minghao didn’t care about his mood at the moment.
At this moment, Qian Minghao was pressing down on the busty beauty and starting to get down to business, completely disregarding the other people in the private room.
Liangzi angrily picked up a glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.

During this time, Bei Lizong and his secretary were running around every day, but no factory was willing to take on this temporary order.
A suffocating atmosphere permeated the factory, and rumors were circulating that the factory was going to close down.
Someone incited the workers to strike, forcing Bei Lizong to pay their wages before they would work. Left with no other choice, Bei Lizong began chasing after the managers of the three factories that had breached their contracts for their money.
Two of them were straightforward and paid on the spot. Only one kept dragging its feet, clearly trying to renege on the agreement.
However, under Bei Lizong’s firm stance, on the last day, the breach of contract fee was paid to him.
Before Bei Lizong left, Boss Niu Ben said to him bluntly, “Old Bei, I’m not trying to be mean, but even if you take this compensation, it won’t help. You might as well leave it with me temporarily, so it won’t be seized by the court, and you won’t lose a single penny. With it here, your wife and daughter can come and collect it later, and they won’t end up homeless.”
Bei Lizong sneered inwardly at his words. Did he think that he was an idiot?
“Niu Ben, forget your little tricks. Even if this money is seized by the court or thrown into the water, I won’t leave it with you.” Bei Lizong said coldly.
Niu Ben immediately became displeased: “Hey, Bei Lizong, what do you mean? You’re really ungrateful for my good intentions. Just wait until your wife and children are homeless.”
“Good intentions?” Bei Lizong scoffed.
“Your kind of ‘good intentions’ are best left unrequited; I can’t afford them. Even if we end up homeless, it’s still better than someone getting their comeuppance for their evil deeds.”
Niu Ben was furious: “Bei Lizong, you deserve to be tricked. Whether I get my comeuppance or not, you probably won’t live to see it.”
Bei Lizong didn’t bother to say another word to him and slammed the door shut as he left.
His actions were entirely driven by his last shred of pride.
