"Forget it, let it go." Ye Yun said.
"Give yourself two slaps, and this matter is settled," Ah Biao grumbled.
A leader might not care, but a subordinate shouldn't be indifferent.
No matter what, Ah Biao wanted to show some respect in front of Ye Yun.
Punishing them too harshly would be disrespectful to Ye Yun.
Punishing them too lightly would be a joke, wouldn't it?
What if his subordinates, in the future, offend some influential figure again and drag him down?
*Slap! Slap!*
The two security guards were tough guys, and they struck their own cheeks hard.
Instantly, their mouths swelled, and ten clear finger marks were visible on their faces.
Ye Yun sighed.
Their mouths would likely remain swollen for at least ten days to half a month.
"Remember, this is Young Master Ye. Fortunately, Young Master Ye spoke up today, otherwise, for your disrespect, you'd see how I'd deal with you! From now on, when you see Young Master Ye, listen carefully: you must bow ninety degrees. Understand?"
Ah Biao pointed his finger at the chests of the two guards.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye, thank you, Young Master Ye!" The two guards immediately bowed ninety degrees, their attitude extremely humble.
"My dear young comrade, how can you engage in such formalism?" At this moment, an ill-timed voice rang out.
The speaker was Director Wu.
As a leader of the power supply bureau, Wu Guotai loved to steal the spotlight and naturally hated it when others outshone him.
As the saying goes, in a gathering with women, the man must be the most dazzling.
He was determined to suppress Ye Yun.
Ah Biao's expression immediately darkened upon hearing this. He glanced at Ye Yun, saw his displeased look, and became enraged.
"You old fossil, what nonsense are you spouting? Believe it or not, I'll break your legs!" Ah Biao, after much effort, finally managed to squeeze out this sentence through gritted teeth.
"Hit me? Come on, I'm standing right here. See if you dare to lay a hand on me!" To his surprise, Wu Guotai was fearless, showing no concern.
The security guard beside him turned pale and whispered into Ah Biao's ear.
"Brother Biao, this is Director Wu from the power supply bureau. We can't afford to offend him."
Seeing this, Wu Guotai chuckled softly.
"You young fellows are too hot-headed. Young people still..."
"Still my ass! Old man, I called you Director Wu out of respect, but you're just an old geezer about to retire. Watch how I deal with you!" Ah Biao directly interrupted, rolling up his sleeves, ready to confront Wu Guotai.
It was laughable. Normally, Ah Biao would avoid offending someone like Wu Guotai if possible.
But that was relative. Compared to Ye Yun, this old man was nothing!
Seeing that Ah Biao was truly about to act, the old man's face turned deathly pale.
With his old bones and frail body, if Ah Biao actually beat him, he'd lose half his life!
"Ah Biao."
Ye Yun spoke up suddenly. "Today is Shiyou's treat. Let's let it slide. Director Wu didn't mean it."
"Young Master Ye, I..." Ah Biao wanted to say more.
"Forget it. This matter is settled by my word." Ye Yun's single sentence put an end to the dispute.
It wasn't that Ye Yun wasn't angry at the old man. He could forgive the security guards' mistakes, as they were ignorant.
But this old fossil clearly knew Ye Yun's significant status and still acted this way.
If he didn't retaliate, everyone would think of him as a pushover, someone they could bully as they pleased.
However, this retaliation shouldn't be done by Ah Biao.
Ah Biao's businesses were clearly located near this bar, making him an easy target for this old fossil.
Since the other party was being considerate, Ye Yun didn't want to cause further trouble.
Seeing that Ye Yun had spoken, Ah Biao naturally agreed. He shot Wu Guotai a fierce glare.
"Old man, if it weren't for Young Master Ye today, I'd rip your mouth open!"
However, he quietly instructed the security guard to inform Lin Shiyou in the private room about what happened at the entrance.
The security guard quickly rushed into the bar.
Then, Ah Biao, with Ye Yun in tow, entered the bar.
Ah Biao was clearly a regular at this bar. Along the way, anyone who saw him, whether drinking, singing, or dancing and chasing girls, would stop, offer him a cigarette, and toast him.
As for Ye Yun, he merely followed behind Ah Biao. In such a crowded place, not many people paid attention to him.
As they neared private room 888, Ah Biao stopped.
"Young Master Lin."
Lin Shiyou stood at the entrance with a displeased expression. Seeing Ah Biao and Ye Yun arrive, he stepped forward and asked.
"Brother Ye, did that Director Wu from the power bureau have words with you just now?"
"Yeah, a few words," Ye Yun replied, shaking his head. "If he can do his job properly, we'll let this matter go. If not, hmph, I'll settle the score later."
As he spoke, Ye Yun prepared to push open the door.
However, Lin Shiyou grabbed Ye Yun's hand.
"Brother Ye, Shiyou is hosting today. How can I let you suffer a loss?"
Lin Shiyou said solemnly, a faint cold glint in his eyes.
Ye Yun smiled, speaking with a touch of ease.
"Shiyou, we're doing big things. We can't let trivial matters disrupt our plans. If we want revenge, there will be plenty of opportunities later."
Logically, that made sense.
But that was Lin Shiyou's nature. Once his temper flared, not even ten oxen could pull him back.
He shook his head slightly.
"Brother Ye, I've seen it clearly during this time."
Lin Shiyou became unusually serious.
"My Brother Ye is someone destined for great things. With your sudden decision to start a company, Yao Ke Group will definitely become a major domestic, even international, corporation. Therefore, the troubles you'll face in the future may be numerous."
Ye Yun looked at Lin Shiyou, suddenly feeling a rare display of genuine emotion from him.
Lin Shiyou continued.
"Brother Ye, you saved my life and helped me, Shiyou, prosper. In the future, though I might not be able to help with every trouble you face, I will ensure you don't suffer any losses for what I can do! I don't care how many opportunities for revenge there are later. The one who offended Brother Ye today must pay the price today!"
With that, Lin Shiyou gave Ye Yun a firm hug.
Just then, Wu Guotai, arm in arm with his girlfriend, was walking towards them.
Seeing Lin Shiyou, Wu Guotai intended to play the victim.
"Young comrade Lin, you should properly manage your subordinates. They have no eyes..."
However, his voice trailed off halfway through.
Because standing beside Lin Shiyou was Ye Yun, and the look Lin Shiyou gave him was like that of a hungry wolf.
Could it be... Lin Shiyou dared to fall out with him because of this kid?
"Come, come, Wu Guotai. Let me introduce you. This is my elder brother, Ye Yun!"
As he spoke, Lin Shiyou deliberately moved aside, making it clear that Ye Yun was in the main seat, while he, like a mere subordinate, adopted a very humble posture.
Ye Yun?
Wu Guotai was stunned. The name sounded vaguely familiar.
But at this moment, he had no time to ponder.
"He... he..."
Wu Guotai's tongue was even starting to tremble.
He was a high-ranking official in the power supply bureau.
But he knew very well Lin Shiyou's connections, which were deeply intertwined with the Wang family.
