Chapter 643 The Astute Manager Ma
"You dare to hit someone?"

"You dare hit my mother? Pay up!"

The former was Li Dafu's exclamation, while the latter was Li Yong's voice, which seemed to carry a hint of surprise. He had already figured out where he was in pain, and it would either be a Magotan 380 or a 330, or at the very least a Passat.

If you really push it, a Mercedes C-Class or a Land Cruiser Prado wouldn't be out of the question.

That's right, that was Li Yong's subconscious thought. Even after seeing his mother being beaten, his first thought was still money, since his family came out for money.

As for his mother being beaten, he wasn't that angry. After all, he had been spoiled since he was a child, and his parents had cleaned up his messes countless times. Now the family still had debts. In his opinion, this was what his parents should do. As long as they didn't shortchange him on money or cigarettes, that was fine. If possible, it would be best if they could give him a little money to gamble with. That would be a comfortable life!
But what happened next was completely different from what he had imagined. Just as he and his father stepped forward to push and shove and then demand money, four burly men immediately surrounded them and started punching and kicking them.

A barrage of punches rained down, completely stunning Li Yong.

As soon as Miss Yuan slapped him hard, the shrewd Manager Ma knew what to do. She gave a wink to the four people who had come with her, then pulled her young boss, Ms. Yuan, behind her, took out her phone from her pocket, turned on the video recording function, and handed it to Director Wang, whispering, "Please record this!"

He then looked at Lin Mo and the others and said, "Protect Ms. Yuan, don't let her come forward, and none of you should come up either!"

After saying that, Manager Ma's chubby figure immediately joined the fray, and the entire studio was plunged into a one-sided beating.

Even though the studio was quite large, it still felt a bit crowded with more than a dozen people squeezing in. Lin Mo and five others were standing in the work area, while Director Wang was recording videos on his phone, doing what he always did.

Lin Mo and Chuan Mei were supporting Miss Yuan, afraid that she would go forward, since there were eight people fighting in the reception area.

With Miss Yuan's tiny arms and legs, if she went in and got even a minor tap, she'd roll around on the ground twice and start crying.

As for the class monitor and He Xiaoyue, their faces were filled with fear. It's normal for girls to be scared in this kind of situation, except for Miss Yuan, of course.

"Beat him! Beat him! Beat his mother! Let him show off!" Miss Yuan shouted, kicking her short legs in mid-air as Lin Mo and the other man held her up. It was unclear whether she wanted Li Yong or his mother to be beaten.

Faced with this, Lin Mo and Chuan Mei could only hold her down tightly. Surprisingly, the flat-chested loli had quite a bit of strength, like holding down a pig to be slaughtered for the New Year.

If it were just the Sichuan girl alone, she really wouldn't be able to keep Miss Yuan in check.

On the other side, Manager Ma and the other four didn't hold back either, slapping the family of three across the face.

Manager Ma even deliberately found an angle to deliver a hard slap to Liang Cuifen's face, which had been slapped by Miss Yuan, in order to cover up the mark Miss Yuan had just left.

At first, the family of three even fought back together, especially Liang Cuifen, who, with Manager Ma and others deliberately letting her off the hook, left several scratch marks on Manager Ma's face.

But once the men stopped holding back, Li Dafu's family was left only to be beaten.

Suddenly, the studio was filled with the sound of shattering glass.

At 3 p.m., in Chengyue Residential Area, University Town, Jiangning City, the usually quiet street was suddenly broken by a scream.

Suddenly, the door to the [Mengya Media] studio was opened, and Liang Cuifen's plump figure rolled out from inside.

Immediately afterwards, Li Dafu and his son Li Yong were also kicked out from inside, flying down the steps and crashing heavily outside.

At this moment, Li Dafu and his family of three were covered in bruises and swelling. Liang Cuifen's entire left cheek was swollen, with a very noticeable handprint on her face. Her eye sockets were also bruised and purple, and there were two lines of blood under her nose.

Li Dafu's clothes were tattered, and his face was bruised and swollen. He lay on the ground clutching his arm, groaning in pain.

As for Li Yong, he was young, but he took the most beatings. He had been slapped countless times across the face, and his brains were almost scrambled out. He curled up on the ground, begging for mercy with his hands clasped together: "Stop hitting me, big brother, please stop hitting me, I was wrong, you can hit them instead!"

Just then, Manager Ma, whose face was covered in scratches, came out. Seeing Li Yong's cowardly appearance, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of phlegm: "Pah~ What a scumbag!"

A man can admit defeat, but if he doesn't even care about his parents, everyone will look down on him.

"Ouch~~ Ouch~~ Someone's being beaten to death! Someone's being beaten to death! Help! Help!" Liang Cuifen cried out as she rolled on the ground.

This time she wasn't throwing a tantrum; she was genuinely scared, and the fact that she was rolling on the ground was because she was in pain.

Liang Cuifen has a loud voice, to say the least. The commotion at their studio was already quite loud, and some people nearby had heard it. After she shouted like that, a lot of people quickly gathered around to watch the excitement from a distance.

Among them were passersby and shop owners from nearby businesses. After all, with the opening of the food street and the exposure of Li Shiya's identity, the flow of people on this street suddenly increased, and a row of commercial buildings that were originally empty were suddenly overcrowded.

Through Liu Ruyan's simple plan, Miss Yuan revitalized the houses on this street, ensuring there was no shortage of people.

In addition, some of her peers who were already doing self-media were keeping an eye on her, and they were worried about not being able to get any pictures of Li Shiya. This time, they discovered something big and immediately surrounded her.

Soon, a large crowd of onlookers gathered near the Mengya Media studio.

Perhaps emboldened by the large crowd, Li Dafu and his family of three sat up abruptly, then sat on the ground, slapping their thighs and wailing, "Help! Look! This big internet celebrity is bullying us! This big internet celebrity is beating people up! Beating someone to death! Taking advantage of her numbers, she's bullying our family of country folk!"

It has to be said that her expression and voice were so convincing that one might mistake her for the spirit of Jia Zhangshi from the Siheyuan (courtyard house).

By immediately seizing the initiative and defining the incident as a major internet celebrity bullying ordinary people, such a headline is bound to cause a huge uproar online.

After all, it was not uncommon in the past for rich kids to bully the poor and for children of officials to be arrogant and domineering. However, with the passage of time and the advancement of the internet, there are very few such fools among today's second-generation rich. Being a second-generation rich person simply means that you come from a wealthy family, not that you are stupid. The reason why there were so many of them in the past was simply because they caught the wave of opportunity. Many nouveau riche suddenly appeared, lacking family background, and naturally there were deficiencies in the education of their children.

But now that the hype has died down, those original big bosses have accumulated experience and wisdom, and naturally they will pay more attention to their children's education, so the number of second-generation kids causing trouble for their fathers has decreased significantly.

However, in recent years, another trend has emerged: self-media. From time to time, we can hear about some internet celebrities acting like big shots, such as riding motorcycles through checkpoints and then being cyberbullied, or looking down on ordinary people because they are big internet celebrities.

After all, it's not uncommon for poor people to suddenly become rich and think they're superior to others. However, whenever such people are exposed, most of them end up being criticized to the point of quitting the internet.

This also shows that this family isn't stupid; at least they know how to label and smear others.

If Manager Ma really is an employee of their studio, then even if Chuanmei didn't participate in this matter, she would still be responsible. But fortunately, Manager Ma is the property manager of this community, which makes things much easier. Chuanmei was a little worried when he heard this, but when he saw the look Lin Mo gave him, he felt relieved.

There's no other reason than that Miss Yuan is here, so the sky won't fall down.

The main reason is that Lin Mo clearly saw Manager Ma's series of actions. It's certain that Miss Yuan didn't think much about it, since when has a flat-chested girl ever been wronged? But Manager Ma, being such a shrewd person, still had Director Wang help record the video, so he must have his own plans.

From this perspective, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh that although he now had a shopping page, the habits of ordinary people over the past twenty years couldn't be changed overnight.

From a young age, he was taught by his parents not to cause trouble when he was out, to avoid fighting, and not to get into trouble. If he hurt someone, his family couldn't afford to pay for it, and he would end up in jail.

So even now, though he's considered a wealthy man and has a girlfriend like Liu Ruyan with a powerful background, taking direct action is still not his first option when trouble arises.

On the contrary, Miss Yuan and Liu Ruyan, who were raised in wealthy families from a young age, acted more recklessly and did not consider the consequences.

The fact that Liu Ruyan dared to slap Tang Xiaoyu in front of the live broadcast back then, and that Miss Yuan directly attacked her today, essentially shows that they both had powerful backing.

"Call the police! Please call the police!" Li Dafu said quickly.

Seeing this, Li Yong, who had just been begging for mercy, immediately stopped pretending. He rolled to his feet, took out his phone, and while calling the police, pointed at Manager Ma and Lin Mo and the others standing at the door, and said with a coquettish smile, "I'm calling the police right now. You just wait and see, you'll have to pay up!"

"I'll pay your mother's money*, get the hell out of here!" Miss Yuan didn't hold back at all and cursed back directly, completely disregarding the crowd of onlookers around her.

Seeing this, Manager Ma and the others exchanged glances, then stepped forward and each of the three family members slapped the other person hard across the face.

That's right, Manager Ma did it on purpose. There are witnesses and physical evidence. They were the ones who started it, and he also has scratches on his body. It's just a fight, so what if they both go to jail for a few days?

Besides, although it seems he was detained for a few days, he knew very well that as long as he was detained, his path would be much wider. Not to mention wealth and honor, promotion and a raise were definitely guaranteed, so he was naturally not afraid.

"Oh dear, everyone look! They still dare to hit people! I can't live like this anymore!" Liang Cuifen wailed.

Despite her rolling around on the ground, no one stepped forward to break up the fight, and Manager Ma and the others watched coldly.

However, the police were definitely called. As the police arrived, Manager Ma retreated to the door and whispered to Miss Yuan, "Ms. Yuan, do you think it's better to let them in or settle this privately?"

"How so? What's the difference?" Miss Yuan asked in a low voice.

Manager Ma smiled and said, "Going in means that we brothers got into a fight with them and we'll all be going in for a few days. This is the evidence on my face. As for settling it privately, at most we'll pay them some medical expenses. If they want more money, no way. We'll all go in together. I already told the four young men who came with me beforehand, so Mr. Yuan doesn't need to worry."

Miss Yuan glanced at the family of three who were throwing a tantrum on the ground. If it were an ordinary family, they might choose to settle the matter privately for the sake of their child, after all, they were afraid of affecting the next generation. But this family was probably the kind who were obsessed with money. She then said indifferently, "Let's see what they do. If they choose to settle privately, then we'll only pay for the medical expenses, not a penny more. If they don't agree, then you can do what you want!"

"Alright, Mr. Yuan, just you wait and see!" Then Manager Ma looked at Lin Mo and the others excitedly and whispered, "You didn't lay a hand on them, remember that, and there's video evidence!"

After saying that, Manager Ma stepped forward and stood with the other four people who had come with him, whispering to each other as they waited for the police to arrive.

"What do you mean, Sister Yuan? Why do I feel like Manager Ma is a little excited?" Director Wang asked, somewhat puzzled.

To this, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh and say, "No, he just saw his own future!"

Because of the intelligence boost, Lin Mo slowly came to his senses and seemed to understand why Manager Ma had that expression.

Working for a big boss might mean being abandoned after being used, but working for a small boss is a sure thing.

He can't flatter the big boss because of his limited abilities, but if he handles the small matters of the small boss well, it will be much more useful than flattering the big boss, since the big boss is not short of capable people.

From the very first day Miss Yuan came to stay, Manager Ma had been thinking about this matter. He was just worried about not having a chance to show his face in front of the young boss, and now this opportunity had come.

So, the moment Miss Yuan slapped him across the face and finished speaking, he knew his chance had come.

Soon, about ten minutes later, the police car arrived, and the person in charge was surprisingly an acquaintance, Ms. Zhao Yun.

As soon as Zhao Yun got out of the car, she saw Li Dafu and his family of three. She frowned slightly, but before she could speak, one of the men who had come with Manager Ma stepped forward and shouted, "I'm the one who hit him! Arrest me!"

But before he could finish speaking, Manager Ma kicked him, saying, "He's talking nonsense! We all did it together. I was the mastermind, and the other four were just helping out!"

Damn it, this kid has a rebellious streak; he actually dared to steal credit. We need to be careful!
