Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 461 You’re Going to Lose This Job Soon

Wang Yao looked at Chen Fan and asked, "That Zhang Dechou is a department manager at Qianda Mall, and he has a lot of clout here in Jade River County, so how can you help me settle this?"

Chen Fan laughed, "I can handle the owner of Qianda Mall, let alone a department manager. Just rest assured."

Having said that, he walked towards the house.

An Lan and Wang Yao hurriedly followed.

In the living room, Wang Dequan and Liu Fang both sat on stools with faces full of worry.

A gaunt man with an ugly face, adorned with a black mole, and sporting a goatee was sitting on the only two sofas in the living room with a plump woman who had a fierce look and a significant double chin.

The man was indeed Zhang Dechou, and the fat woman was his wife, named Zhao Cui.

Zhang Dechou was smoking a cigarette, holding a contract in his hand. He flicked the contract with a finger and said impatiently, "Wang Dequan, everything on this contract is written in black and white, clear and clear. What is there to hesitate about? Your name is signed here, and your Hand Seal is stamped on it."

"Besides, having your daughter as my concubine is her good fortune. Look at the state you’re in now; you’re worse off than a dog. Following you, she can only suffer, but with me, I guarantee she’ll lead a life that only the rich can enjoy."

Zhao Cui disdainfully said, "Your daughter becoming a concubine to our family man, and even I have no objections, what right do you have to refuse? Hurry up and settle this matter; I need to get back to my mahjong game."

Wang Dequan, gazing at the domineering couple, could already imagine the dire situation his daughter would fall into if she actually became a concubine to Zhang Dechou.

She would not only become Zhang Dechou’s tool for childbirth but would also become Zhao Cui’s maid.

Doing housework was the least of it; Zhao Cui was hot-tempered, and the reason she agreed to Zhang Dechou taking a concubine was that she herself couldn’t bear children. Just because she agreed to Wang Yao bearing children for Zhang Dechou didn’t mean she wouldn’t resent Wang Yao.

Eventually, Wang Yao would probably be beaten daily, living a life worse than a servant.

"Old Zhang, I only borrowed fifty thousand from you initially. I thought you were giving me an IOU to sign, and because I trusted you, I signed without thinking. You can’t scam me like this." Wang Dequan said helplessly.

Zhang Dechou snorted coldly, "Save those words for the judge. Modern society adheres to contracts written in black and white. Once you’ve signed and stamped your Hand Seal, it means you agreed at that time. Everything else you’re saying now is just an excuse."

"Whether you accept it or not, you have to follow the contract. If you don’t want your daughter to be my concubine, that’s fine too. Just pay me three million seven hundred and seventy-two thousand without shortchanging a cent, and I won’t trouble you any longer."

Wang Dequan looked at Liu Fang with an ugly expression; both husband and wife were already out of options, their faces filled with despair.

"Wang Yao is not going to become your concubine, nor do they owe you so much money. This contract of yours doesn’t hold any legal weight at all," Chen Fan’s voice interrupted at that moment.

All four turned their heads to look over.

Zhang Dechou gave Chen Fan a once-over and cursed, "And who are you? Is it your place to meddle in my affairs? It doesn’t hold legal weight; what are you, a judge?"

Chen Fan smiled, "In modern society, the concept of a secondary wife or concubine has been discarded as dregs of feudalism. So the content of your contract, seeking to make Wang Yao your concubine and bear your children, is not recognized by modern law."

"Moreover, Uncle Wang only borrowed fifty thousand from you. Turning it into three million seven hundred and seventy-two thousand in just a few years constitutes usurious lending, which is illegal. Uncle Wang only needs to return the original fifty thousand to you; those interests can be refused. If you think I’m wrong, you can call the police right now and ask them."

Zhang Dechou squinted his eyes immediately; he had hoped to exploit the ignorance of Wang Dequan’s family but hadn’t expected this unexpected fellow to expose him directly, which was very displeasing to him.

He snorted coldly, "Save your nonsense! Once a contract is signed, it must be followed; saying anything else is useless!"

Zhao Cui also glared at Chen Fan, cursing, "Do you even know the law, you ignoramus? Spouting rubbish as a legal illiterate – believe it or not, I’ll slap you hard!"

Chen Fan curled his lips, "Stop bluffing here. Aren’t you just afraid that Uncle Wang’s family will find out that your contract amounts to nothing?"

Wang Dequan turned to Chen Fan and asked eagerly, "Chen Fan, is what you said true?"

Chen Fan nodded, "Actually, you could have found out about all this by simply consulting a lawyer. They took advantage of your lack of knowledge to scam you. Just ignore them."

Wang Dequan looked at Zhang Dechou, burning with anger, "You rotten Zhang Dechou, so you’ve been trying to scam me with this worthless contract? Back in the day, when we worked together, I even saved your life. Now you do this to me; have you no conscience, or has it been eaten by a dog?"

Zhang Dechou didn’t bother to conceal his disdain anymore and snorted, "Spare me those old sesame and rotten millet grievances. Those are things of the past. Now I’m living better than you, and that’s the reality. The contract may indeed be worthless, but I just want your daughter to be my concubine. If you don’t agree, I assure you that you won’t be able to live in Jade River County!"

Wang Dequan gasped in fury, "You!"

Zhang Dechou glared at him, "What ’you’? I am a manager at Qianda Mall. The noteworthy people in Jade River County are all my friends. If you don’t do as I say, just think about what your fate will be!"

By his side, Zhao Cui said with a look of triumph, "Exactly, we were following the contract to give you some dignity, to spare you some embarrassment. But you’re so ungrateful. Well, don’t blame us for being rude now. A manager at Qianda Mall, you can’t afford to provoke us!"

Wang Dequan’s expression darkened once again; he had not expected his old friend to bully him so overtly.

Chen Fan spoke again, "A mere manager has the nerve to strut around here. Do you really think there’s no one who can handle you?"

Zhang Dechou scoffed coldly, "A mere manager? Do you have any idea how many people in Jade River County want to be in my position? How many people line up to ask me for favors?"

"You’re nothing but a worthless grandson; where do you get the courage to talk to me like this?" freewēbnoveℓ.com

Chen Fan smiled and said, "So if you lose this job, does it mean you’ve lost everything?"

Zhang Dechou laughed out loud, "Indeed, if I were to lose this job, I would probably be worse off than Wang Dequan. Unfortunately for you, I have this job, and the boss trusts me deeply. Doesn’t that bother you?"

Chen Fan said, "That’s not an issue, you’re going to lose your job very soon."

Zhang Dechou only felt this man was an idiot, "Stop dreaming. I can do this job for a lifetime. People like you can only find some psychological comfort by running your mouths here."

Chen Fan ignored him and took Wang Dequan’s phone to dial a number, which was Qin Long’s.

Previously in Qin Long’s office, Chen Fan had seen Qin Long’s business card. With his photographic memory, he had easily memorized the phone number.

Soon, the call connected.

"Who is it?" Qin Long’s impatient voice came through. He had just sent Qin Hao to the hospital and was busy discussing the outcome with his secretary.

"It’s me, Chen Fan."

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, what instructions do you have?" Qin Long’s voice immediately became extremely respectful, and his heart grew anxious, wondering if the big shot was having second thoughts. His frail heart couldn’t take it.

Chen Fan said, "Is there a manager in your mall called Zhang Dechou?"

Qin Long replied, "Yes, there is such a person."

Chen Fan said, "This person has questionable morals. Keeping him under you will harm you sooner or later. You should fire him. I’ll recommend someone more suitable for the job."

Qin Long felt a sigh of relief inside. It was just such a trivial matter; he thought Chen Fan was going to cut off his retreat.

He quickly agreed, "Okay, no problem. It’s an honor for our mall that Mr. Chen is so concerned about us. Actually, I’ve been displeased with Zhang Dechou for a long time. I’ll fire him right away, and afterward, I’ll have the person Mr. Chen recommends take over Zhang Dechou’s former position."

Chen Fan said, "That’s fine. Zhang Dechou is right here with me. You talk to him."

With that, he handed the phone to Zhang Dechou.

Zhang Dechou glanced at Chen Fan and asked, "What’s this for?"

Chen Fan said, "Your boss wants to talk to you."

Zhang Dechou snorted with laughter, "What are you playing at? Like you’d actually have our boss’s number?"

As he took the phone, he cursed, "Who’s the son of a bitch pretending to be my boss? Believe it or not, I’ll kick you so hard you’ll never be a man again!"

Qin Long’s roar erupted, "Zhang Dechou, you must have eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. No wonder Mr. Chen has asked me to fire you; a brain-dead like you really shouldn’t stay in our mall!"

Zhang Dechou’s expression was startled at the sound, "Boss... Is that really you?"

Qin Long, "Who else could it be? Did you offend Mr. Chen? I’m telling you, from now on, you are fired. Pack up and get out of my mall right now!"

Zhang Dechou’s face turned all shades of pale. "Boss, please don’t, I’ve always been loyal to you. You can’t just fire me like this!"

Qin Long snorted coldly, "I can’t make this decision. Mr. Chen said to fire you, so you absolutely can’t stay. That settles it; find some time to process your resignation."

With that, he hung up the phone.

Zhang Dechou looked at Chen Fan in disbelief.

Chen Fan revealed a smile to him and asked, "Well, has your job not gone now?"
