Chapter 11: Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger

Well-dressed successful individuals huddled around, whispering and discussing vigorously.

Their eyes on Wang Xiaolu were filled with greed, while their gaze towards Ye Tian was packed with disdain and contempt.

At this moment, a few middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes, obviously tycoons, approached Wang Xiaolu.

"Hi, beauty, how could a poor schmuck deserve you? How about I take care of you instead? I'll give you 20,000 for pocket money each month, how about that?"

"20,000? What's that? If you're with me, I'll give you 50,000 a month, plus a house, and a BMW."

"Get lost, or I'm calling security."

Hearing Wang Xiaolu's immediate rejection, these men's eyes lit up even brighter, an untouched beauty made them even more tempted.

"Beauty, don't be mad, it was just a joke. Let's connect on WeChat, get to know each other, and I'll take you out for fun."

Wang Xiaolu, instead of responding, immediately grabbed Ye Tian and hurried to leave, but these men blocked their way.

Wang Xiaolu didn't quite know how to deal with these shameless men.

Ye Tian took a step forward, huffed at them coldly. "A good dog doesn't stand in the way, back off, or don't blame me for being rude."

The men's faces turned cold, one of them mocked Ye Tian, "Kid, do you know who I am? Just one call from me can make sure you can't survive in Jiangyi County, so get lost!"

At this time, security heard the commotion and looked over from a distance, not coming over to settle the fight.

A bald middle-aged man teased Wang Xiaolu, "Beautify, let's be friends, I won't bite."

Wang Xiaolu, frightened, leaned closer to Ye Tian, gripping his arm tightly.

Ye Tian gestured to Wang Xiaolu, signaling her to remain calm, that he would handle everything.

"Kid, aren't you getting lost? Sick of living?"

The bald middle-aged man aimed a slap at Ye Tian's right cheek.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed the bald middle-aged man's wrist, with a slight squeeze, the bald man immediately screamed in pain.

"It hurts! Kid, let go!"

Ye Tian released the bald middle-aged man's arm, and the bald man stumbled, lost his footing, and fell over.

The bald middle-aged man's face turned from red to white, staring at Ye Tian, filled with rage.

Ye Tian glared at him coldly, "Get lost, don't provoke me!"

Ye Tian tried to leave with Wang Xiaolu, but then the security guards immediately ran over and helped the bald middle-aged man off the ground.

"Boss Wang, are you okay?"

This Boss Wang and their general manager were good friends; they dared not let him get hurt here.

"Didn't you see that kid assaulting me? Seize him now."

Bald Boss Wang was furious, pointing at Ye Tian, filled with anger.

The two security guards looked at each other, then immediately stepped forward and blocked Ye Tian and Wang Xiaolu, who were trying to leave.

"Sorry, sir, you are suspected of assaulting a customer, please come with us to the security room."

Bystanders nearby all showed sympathetic looks.

"This kid has offended someone, he's in for trouble!"

Wang Xiaolu was furious at the security guards' contradictory behavior.

"Is this how you protect customers, security?"

The two security guards completely ignored Wang Xiaolu, staring at Ye Tian with disdain, convinced that they could handle him easily.

Ye Tian didn't want to cause trouble in public, so he planned to follow the two security guards and then teach them a lesson afterwards.

"What happened?"

At this moment, another man in a suit and leather shoes came striding over, his presence commanding respect without anger.

"General Manager!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the two security guards immediately showed respect.

The bald middle-aged man, seeing the newcomer, promptly went over to greet him.

"General Shi, you've come just at the right time. This kid dared to hit me. Help me teach him a lesson, quick!"

The general manager's surname was Shi, and he had business dealings with this bald Wang, having some relationship.

General Shi knew what kind of person Wang was. He understood the trouble was likely instigated by Wang, but he would still give Wang some face.

He was about to order the security guards to drag Ye Tian away when another of his business partners, General Zhang, came over.

"Brother Ye, what are you doing here?"

This General Zhang was the very one who had always bought hangover tea from Ye Tian. Spotting Ye Tian from a distance, he came over to say hello.

General Shi was surprised; his business partner actually knew this person. It seemed that this young man was not simple. He refrained from taking action and decided to wait and see.

Ye Tian recounted the whole story, and General Zhang was furious and immediately walked over to the bald Wang and gave him two slaps.

"Fuck, bullying my Brother Ye, do you want to die? You think you have a strong backing? Believe it or not, with a single call from me, I can ruin all your business deals, and turn you into a pauper by tomorrow!"

General Zhang was incredibly agitated, both angry and excited.

Angry because someone dared to bully Ye Tian; if anything happened to Ye Tian, he wouldn't be able to buy his hangover tea anymore. Without the hangover tea, the new network he had just started to build would collapse.

To bully Ye Tian was like cutting off his financial route; how could he not be furious.

At the same time, he was also excited. The excitement stemmed from seeing this as an opportunity to show his loyalty to Ye Tian; an opportunity to strengthen their relationship.

As long as he dealt with this person harshly, Ye Tian would certainly be very pleased.

The circle of wealthy people in Jiangyi County was not that big; he had seen almost all the prominent figures but did not recognize this so-called General Wang, clearly indicating that this man didn't have much clout, just a newcomer to wealth.

Therefore, to General Zhang, slapping General Wang was a done deal!

"General Zhang…"

Bald Wang, having been slapped in public, lost all his face, but he dared not lose his temper because he recognized this General Zhang, whose connections in Jiangyi County were incomparable to his own.

Therefore, although Bald Wang was hit, he still didn't dare to fight back and could only look helplessly towards Wanda's General Shi for assistance, who immediately stepped forward to mediate the situation.

"General Zhang, let's not be so hot-tempered, this is all just a misunderstanding. Let's find a place to sit down and talk about it, shall we?"

General Zhang glared at General Shi and said sharply, "General Shi, we've been old friends for some time, don't get involved in this. If you do, we can't even be friends anymore. Today, no one can save this kid, no matter who comes!"

"Is it that serious?"

General Shi's expression became somber. He looked carefully at General Zhang's expression and, seeing no sign of jest, he immediately stepped back, choosing not to interfere further.

Although he had a certain relationship with Bald Wang, he wasn't willing to offend General Zhang, who had a far wider network, for Wang's sake.

At the same time, he cautiously scrutinized Ye Tian standing to the side.

He really couldn't understand how someone who looked like a poor guy like Ye Tian could make General Zhang so eager to please!

Could it be that this person was some rich playboy playing a game of deceit?
