Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 492 Who would dare publish this in the newspaper without my permission?
Soon, Cheng Yi arrived at the dormitory of Dongcang County Chemical Fiber Factory according to the address provided by his father.

Dongcang County Chemical Fiber Plant was the first enterprise in Dongcang County to undergo restructuring. During the restructuring, a particularly large conflict broke out here. Most of the early employees of the chemical fiber plant were hooligans and thugs who had their own circles in Dongcang County and were very difficult to deal with.

From 1995 to the present, with several demolitions and urban renewal projects, plus the severe disruption caused by the demolition team led by Zhang Bao two years ago, the chaos in Dongcang County has finally been largely resolved.

Cheng Yi asked Lin Yongxing to park the car on the side of the road. As soon as he opened the car door, Li Ziqiang ran over and opened the door for him.

"President Cheng," Li Ziqiang said with a big smile, "I was wondering who would dare offend President Cheng in Dongcang County. It turns out it was those bastards from the chemical fiber factory."

"Is it tricky?" Cheng Yi asked.

Li Ziqiang laughed and said, "I'll pinch it with my hand."

"That's good." Cheng Yi got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and said, "Let's go, Building 3, Unit 1, Room 103."

As soon as they arrived at Building 3 of the chemical fiber factory dormitory, they heard a burst of cursing.

The insults were extremely vulgar and harsh, almost a mix of every swear word in Mandarin.

Downstairs in Building 3, a middle-aged woman in her fifties was pointing at a second-floor window and cursing, spitting everywhere.

The residents on the second floor clearly knew how formidable this middle-aged woman was; they kept their doors and windows tightly shut and dared not respond at all.

"If you make any more noise upstairs, I'll skin you alive!" the middle-aged woman cursed, still seething with anger.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman saw Cheng Yi and his group.

Seeing Cheng Yi's impressive attire and the group of imposing subordinates he led, the middle-aged woman stopped her tirade. She sized Cheng Yi up and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for Ms. Dong Xiuli," Cheng Yi said with a refined smile.

"What do you want with Dong Xiuli? Who are you?" The middle-aged woman sized up Cheng Yi and said in a very impolite tone, "Dong Xiuli is my daughter."

"You must be Liu Guihua?" Cheng Yi asked with a smile.

“That’s right.” Liu Guihua said arrogantly, head held high, “You haven’t answered my question yet!”

“Cheng Rui is my cousin,” Cheng Yi said succinctly.

The moment he said that, Liu Guihua understood. She immediately flew into a rage, yelling, "Was it that XXX Cheng Rui sent you? I'll f*** you! My daughter was just at a hotel with her colleagues to discuss business, and that XXX Cheng Rui insists she's immoral! You Cheng family are all XXX..."

Liu Guihua's crudeness left Li Ziqiang, who was standing to the side, dumbfounded.

This...this is clearly because he wasn't disciplined well when he was a child.

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "Whether your daughter is virtuous or not, only your daughter knows. I came here this time to turn hostility into friendship. As long as you return the betrothal money and stop causing trouble at my uncle's house, this matter can be considered over. What do you think?"

"Keep dreaming," Liu Guihua retorted. "Cheng Rui has slandered my daughter's innocence. He either has to marry her or pay 200,000 yuan in compensation for emotional distress. How is my daughter supposed to get married after all this slander?"

Liu Guihua probably sensed that Cheng Yi had brought a large group of people this time, and couldn't help but say, "I know that your Cheng family has produced a big shot, but I'm not afraid of you. If you cause any trouble, I'll expose you in the newspaper right away! Not only will I expose you, but I'll also sue you in the provincial capital!"

"President Cheng, that's just how they are. You can't reason with them. Only fists can communicate with them," Li Ziqiang said, standing to the side, clearly annoyed.

Li Ziqiang was all too familiar with the ruthless methods of the chemical fiber factory workers.

They were truly impervious to reason; even when his father was in office, he couldn't do anything about them.

During his teenage years, Li Ziqiang often arranged fights with the kids from the chemical fiber factory. He knew very well that reasoning with the people from the chemical fiber factory was useless; only fists could communicate with them.

Cheng Yi chuckled and said, "You guys are just being shameless."

"That's right, I'm just being a scoundrel, so what?" Liu Guihua put her hands on her hips, furrowed her brows, and was about to start cursing.

"Mom, what's wrong?" At this moment, a woman of decent build and a man wearing a jacket walked over.

Liu Guihua pointed at Cheng Yi and cursed, "They were all people that Cheng Rui, that XXX, called here."

Upon hearing this, the woman frowned and rushed to Cheng Yi, angrily saying, "What do you want to do? Bringing so many people here to scare me? I'm not afraid to tell you, my best friend's mother is a teacher at Dongcang Experimental Primary School! She's also Du Yusheng's primary school homeroom teacher. You know who Du Yusheng is, right? When Du Yusheng comes back for the New Year, he always visits my best friend's house to see his teacher."

Upon hearing the woman's words, the young men behind Li Ziqiang exchanged bewildered glances.

This...this is a bit scary.

No wonder this family is so arrogant and domineering.

If what this woman said is true, then they should run away as soon as possible.

If this woman knows Du Yusheng's elementary school homeroom teacher, she can really do whatever she wants in Dongcang County.

Looking at the woman roaring incessantly in front of him, Cheng Yi frowned and said, "You must be Dong Xiuli."

“That’s right.” The woman looked at Cheng Yi with an arrogant expression and said, “Go back and tell Cheng Rui that if he breaks off the engagement, he’ll have to compensate me for my lost youth!”

"You two have only known each other for less than a year, where does this compensation for lost youth come from?" Cheng Yi sneered, "Besides, you cheated on me first..."

"Who cheated? What are you talking about?" The woman was furious and reached out to grab Cheng Yi.

Lin Yongxing, who was standing next to her, grabbed the woman's outstretched arm and pulled her with his right hand, causing her to stumble.

Upon seeing that Cheng Yi's men had actually made a move, Liu Guihua immediately became enraged and unleashed a torrent of profanities.

The smile on Cheng Yi's face gradually disappeared.

He frowned as he watched Liu Guihua get more and more into cursing, and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I don't hit women..."

“President Cheng, I like to play.” Li Ziqiang understood the implication in Cheng Yi’s words and immediately volunteered.

Before Cheng Yi could respond, Li Ziqiang rushed forward and slapped Liu Guihua hard across the face.

Seeing that Li Ziqiang had made a move, the young men he brought with him rushed up and started punching and kicking Liu Guihua and Dong Xiuli.

"Alright." Seeing that Li Ziqiang and the others were getting more and more into the fight, Cheng Yi said, "Just teach them to speak properly."

Li Ziqiang stopped and pointed at Liu Guihua, saying, "If you utter another swear word, I'll knock out all your teeth. Don't think I'm joking; I'm Li Ziqiang."

The urge to curse had long been ingrained in Liu Guihua's very bones; to stop her from cursing would be worse than death for her.

But Liu Guihua was afraid when faced with Li Ziqiang, who was truly willing to take action.

Even the wicked are afraid of being tormented by other wicked people, let alone a wicked person as great as Li Ziqiang.

Looking at Dong Xiuli's bruised and swollen face, Cheng Yi slowly said, "Dong Xiuli, this man is the one you went to the hotel to discuss business with, right?"

Just as Dong Xiuli was about to speak, Cheng Yi said, "Break one of his legs for me." "Okay!" Li Ziqiang rushed forward without saying a word and pinned the panicked man to the ground.

After a series of piercing screams, Liu Guihua and Dong Xiuli finally realized they were afraid.

They looked at Cheng Yi with fear in their eyes, no longer showing their previous arrogance.

Cheng Yi walked up to the man, grabbed his hair, and said, "Do you know she's engaged?"

"Yes, I know," the man said tremblingly.

"Have you done anything practical?" Cheng Yi asked again.

The man subconsciously looked at Dong Xiuli, but before he could look away, Cheng Yi had already taken the stick from Li Ziqiang's hand.

"It's done, it's done." The man was startled and quickly replied.

Cheng Yi turned to look at Liu Guihua with a half-smile and said, "Is your daughter still innocent?"

At this moment, Liu Guihua's face was extremely pale.

Cheng Yi threw the stick on the ground and said in a calm tone, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to harass my cousin's family again. If I find out again, it won't be as simple as breaking one of your legs."

Cheng Yi glanced at Li Ziqiang and said, "They just said they were going to expose me in the newspaper and even sue me in the provincial capital. Why don't you help them out? Break one of their legs and send them to the Handong Daily first, then to the provincial capital. Consider my cousin's dowry money as your medical expenses."

"Oh, and when you send it over, make it clear that it was made by Cheng Yi from Momo Group." Cheng Yi said this and turned to leave with Li Yongxing.

Looking across Handong Province, whether it's print or online media, who would dare to publish him in the newspaper without his permission?

He simply doesn't want to do whatever he wants; that doesn't mean he lacks the means to do so.

When he got home, Cheng Yi simply told Cheng Jianshu that the problem had been solved, without going into the details of the process.

Back in his bedroom, Cheng Yi turned on his computer.

He logged into his email as usual and found several unread emails. One email was about the progress of the integration with the IBM Industrial Software Library, and the other was a briefing on the latest Microsoft developments.

Cheng Yi quickly finished reading the email, and then his phone vibrated again. It was a text message from Zhang Lingyu. The message was very simple, just one sentence:

[Monitoring at all internet cafe nodes nationwide is normal, and the security level has been raised to orange.]

Cheng Yi replied with "Received, thank you for your hard work," and then put down his phone.

As the general manager of Momo Internet Cafe Management Co., Ltd., Zhang Lingyu has no choice but to fulfill her duties. Therefore, the Spring Festival holiday is a luxury for her.

As dinner time approached, Cheng Yi shut down his computer and strolled back to the living room.

He had just entered the living room when the courtyard gate was pushed open.

Soon, a clear voice, tinged with weariness, rang out: "Aunt Chu! My mom asked me to bring some raw meatballs over, huh?"

Cheng Yi turned his head at the sound and saw Jiang Yuxi carrying a large bowl full of raw meatballs, wearing a neatly tailored beige cashmere coat as she walked into the living room, bumping right into Cheng Yi and Lin Qingyin on the living room sofa.

At this moment, Lin Qingyin had changed into a cotton-padded coat with cute cartoon patterns and was sipping a cup of hot tea. When she saw Jiang Yuxi, a surprised smile immediately appeared on Lin Qingyin's face, and she called out, "Yuxi!"

Jiang Yuxi's smile seemed to freeze for a moment. Her gaze swept quickly across Cheng Yi's face before she happily exclaimed, "Oh! When did you get back? I was wondering why Aunt Chu was suddenly making meatballs today. Turns out you're back!"

She first took the bowl to the kitchen, then came back, took off her coat and casually draped it over the armrest, revealing a delicate turtleneck sweater underneath. She smiled at Cheng Yi and said, "Cheng Yi, you're so busy these days, it's really hard to see you. I saw on the morning news this morning that you're involved in an international lawsuit with Microsoft? That's impressive!"

Her tone remained cheerful and teasing, and her eyes were bright, but Cheng Yi keenly noticed that beneath that brightness, there seemed to be a complex emotion that she was trying hard to conceal.

He and Jiang Yuxi had indeed not seen each other for a long time, and now that they met, she had indeed grown up a lot.

Jiang Yuxi, who used to be so clueless, has now shed that image and exudes the aura of a career woman.

"It's not that impressive, I was just thinking of sending you to the US to negotiate with Microsoft," Cheng Yi joked.

"Send me?" Jiang Yuxi was taken aback and said, "My English isn't fluent yet."

Meeting Cheng Yi's mischievous gaze, Jiang Yuxi suddenly realized what was going on and angrily said, "Cheng Yi! You're making fun of me again!"

"Not bad, you figured it out so quickly," Cheng Yi said with a smile.

At this moment, Lin Qingyin also said, "Yuxi, when did you get back? Isn't the TV shopping department busy anymore?"

Jiang Yuxi laughed and said, "I just got back yesterday. No matter how busy I am, I still have to celebrate the New Year, right? Unlike some big bosses who are rarely seen."

As she spoke, she glanced at Cheng Yi again, her eyes seeming to have hooks in them.

"Yu Xi, Qing Yin, come help serve the dishes!" Chu Yue'e's voice rang out from the kitchen.

Jiang Yuxi and Lin Qingyin immediately got up and ran quickly to the kitchen.

Cheng Yi looked at his childhood sweetheart, who had grown up with him since they were little and now exuded a powerful aura but seemed to be separated from him by something, and then looked at Lin Qingyin, who simply relied on him. His mood became slightly complicated.

Before long, sporadic firecrackers sounded in the neighborhood. These firecrackers seemed to represent the festive atmosphere of the New Year. Hearing the firecrackers, Cheng Yi actually felt a sense of peace.

A dozen minutes later, Jiang Aiguo and his wife also arrived.

Jiang Aiguo had clearly just returned, with a bead of sweat on his forehead. As he entered the living room, he saw the table laden with delicious food.

The sauce for braised fish is rich and glossy, symbolizing abundance year after year.

The braised prawns are a vibrant red and incredibly tempting.

The pork knuckle, stewed until tender, has a translucent, glistening skin.

There were also refreshing cold dishes, homemade sausages, golden-fried lotus root slices and meatballs, and of course, the bowl of meatballs that Jiang Yuxi brought over.

The meatballs, already deep-fried and steaming hot, were placed in the most conspicuous position.

"Dinner's ready!" Chu Yue'e greeted with a smile, her face beaming with satisfaction.

The small restaurant was packed to the brim at that moment.

Cheng Jianshu sat in the main seat, with Chu Yue'e next to him. Cheng Yi and Lin Qingyin sat on one side, and opposite them were Jiang Aiguo and his wife, and Jiang Yuxi.

The originally spacious dining table was now unusually lively, with people clinking glasses and laughing and chatting.
