Sun Yan, unable to contain his anger, slammed a stack of cash on the table, nearly shattering it.
Those mocking him thought he was about to get physical seeing his aggressive manner, so they quickly stifled their laughter and buried their heads in their hotpot.
But Sun Yan didn’t even give them a glance, standing up and walking out.
Seeing Sun Yan leaving without looking back, Da Niu scratched his head in confusion, resembling a monk at a loss.
He muttered a few words, reached out to grab the money on the table, and his eyes lit up as he counted it.
After counting, Da Niu started grinning stupidly, his cousin was so generous, handing out eight thousand yuan in one go...
He secured the cash and pulled out an old phone worth only a few dozen yuan and a crumpled business card from his pocket.
Clumsily he dialed the number on the card and made the call.
No sooner had a voice come through than he blurted out, "Cousin, you’ve spent a lot today, I’ll treat you to a meal another day, hehe, you really didn’t need to give me such a big welcome gift, half a year’s salary gone just like that, I feel so bad for you..."
"Eh, wait, why is a woman talking? Hello, hello, you must be my cousin’s wife! Cousin’s wife, I’m Da Niu, have you heard about me..."
"What are you saying, cousin’s wife? I only finished primary school, I don’t understand foreign languages..."
Listening to Da Niu’s words, the surrounding diners were speechless, all giving him looks as if they were seeing a monster.
Not for anything else but for that old cell phone in his hand.
As it was a phone for the elderly, even without being on speaker, it was louder than other phones.
The woman’s voice coming out was very clear: Sorry, your phone is out of credit, please top up your balance. Sorry, your, phone, is, arrears, please, continue, to, pay, the, bill, thankyou.
As bystanders, they all really wanted to ask: Is your cousin’s wife built into the system?
Perhaps Da Niu naturally wasn’t too bright, even with the system repeatedly informing him of his phone’s arrears, he didn’t catch on.
Eventually, he just hung up the call, shoved the phone back into his pocket, and mumbled, "My cousin is awesome, marrying a foreign chick..."
As soon as he returned to Emperor, Sun Yan sneezed.
Then, his phone rang.
Seeing it was Shi Yu calling, he hadn’t even managed to take a sip of water before putting his cup down and quickly answering the call.
"Boss, awaiting your orders."
"About the task I entrusted to you before."
With just one sentence from Shi Yu on the other end, Sun Yan got the message, "I’ve already sent someone to surveil that guy, if he dares to stir trouble, we’ll cripple him."
"Cripple? Too lenient."
"If you think that’s too lenient, boss, then we’ll chop! Chop off his ten fingers but leave two, let him reminisce about his fingers every day, how’s that?"
Sun Yan felt that learning to be cruel, ruthless, indifferent, and violent towards enemies is essential when working for a dark-hearted BIG BOSS!
"Mm, that’s acceptable."
Being constantly berated side by side with Shi Yu over the years, Sun Yan was already accustomed to it.
The first time Shi Yu didn’t reject his suggestion, he was nearly overwhelmed with excitement to the point of passing out.
He felt as if he just took a trip to heaven!
