From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Feng Qianyi's face was pale, her brows furrowed tightly, unable to come up with a solution.

She knew that these workers were already resentful because their wages were being withheld.

In the current situation, they won't listen to any reasoning. If things aren't handled properly, people could really die.

No sooner had she finished speaking than two workers, their emotions flaring up, rushed out of the crowd, each clutching a mineral water bottle filled with gasoline. They unscrewed the caps and poured the pungent liquid over Feng Qianyi!

"what……"

Feng Qianyi was completely unprepared and was covered in gasoline.

The smell assaulted her nostrils, and she stumbled back several steps, her face deathly pale, her body trembling violently, her eyes filled with panic.

One of the workers pulled out a lighter, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "If you don't pay us our wages today, we'll all die together! I don't want to live anymore anyway, I'll take you with me!"

A hair's breadth away.

Lu Yunzhou flashed forward, his speed so fast that no one could react. Before the worker could even see what was happening, the lighter had already been snatched away and was held in his palm.

"What are you doing! Give me back my lighter!"

The worker was impatient and agitated, and reached out to grab Lu Yunzhou's hand.

"Shut up!"

Lu Yunzhou shouted in a deep voice, his eyes chillingly cold, his tone oppressive, "What do you think you're doing? Do you think you can get money this way? Utterly stupid!"

"President Feng has made it clear enough. Your salaries have already been paid to the contractors by Fengming Group. The person you're looking for is your boss, not someone trying to make things difficult for President Feng or Fengming Group!"

Lu Yunzhou paused, then continued, "If it were truly money that President Feng owed you, I wouldn't stop you. But that's not the case! Your impulsive actions will not only prevent you from getting your money, but also put you in legal trouble!"

The worker, still unconvinced, shouted, "You must be from the Fengming Group too! You're all in cahoots, of course you're taking her side!"

After saying that, he swung his fist and was about to smash it at Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou frowned and shouted sharply, "Let's see who dares to move!"

That shout was full of power.

The dozen or so workers present were instantly subdued, the commotion ceased, and their faces showed hesitation and apprehension.

Lu Yunzhou looked at them, his tone softening slightly.

"I'm just an employee too. I'm not speaking for Fengming Group; I'm stopping you from doing something stupid!"

"If you injure President Feng today, or damage this place, that would be intentional assault and intentional property damage, both of which are illegal!"

"On the other hand, the salary issue can be resolved gradually, but if you break the law, even if you eventually get the money, you'll still have to go to jail. Is it worth it?"

Lu Yunzhou scanned the haggard faces of everyone present and continued, "Each of you is the pillar of your family, with elderly parents and young children to support. If you were to burn yourself to death, what use would your money be? What would happen to your families?"

These words were piercing to the heart.

The dozen or so workers looked at each other, their anger slowly fading and replaced by confusion and wavering, and their emotions gradually calmed down.

They had been blinded by anger, but Lu Yunzhou's words brought them to their senses, making them realize how foolish their actions had been.

Feng Qianyi stood to the side and slowly exhaled. For a moment just now, she really thought she was going to die.

If Lu Yunzhou hadn't reacted quickly and stopped it in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

She composed herself, took a step forward, and said, "Everyone, I know you've had a tough time, and I know you're eager to get your wages."

"Alright, I'll send someone to your contractor right now to thoroughly investigate the matter and verify the flow of funds."

"Even if the matter cannot be resolved immediately, my Fengming Group will advance part of your wages today, and we will definitely not let you leave empty-handed."

The man in his fifties still had red eyes, and his tone was hesitant and pleading: "President Feng, we are just ordinary workers, not very educated. Please, you big shots, stop lying to us. We really can't wait any longer..."

After Lu Yunzhou's persuasion, they have regained their senses and all that remains is pleading.

Feng Qianyi looked at him and said firmly, "Please believe me. I, Feng Qianyi, keep my word. There must be a solution to this."

"Although you are not employees of my Fengming Group, you have contributed to our project, and I will definitely give you an explanation for this salary."

"How about this, you all stay at the Fengming Group today. I'll personally oversee the investigation, and as soon as there are results, I'll settle your wages immediately. How does that sound?"

The dozen or so workers looked at each other, their faces showing hesitation, unable to make up their minds.

They wanted to get their wages, but they were also afraid of being cheated again.

Seeing this, Lu Yunzhou said, "Everyone, President Feng has already gone this far, so please trust her this once."

"If she really wanted to deduct your wages and didn't want to help you, given her status and position, she wouldn't even see you."

"I certainly wouldn't make such a promise in front of you. Rather than creating this stalemate, let's wait patiently..."

"Okay, then we'll choose to believe you this once."

"Um!"

Feng Qianyi opened the door and said to Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, tell the cafeteria to cook a few more dishes today. You take everyone to the cafeteria to rest."

The office fell silent again. Feng Qianyi sighed wearily and said to Lu Yunzhou, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the break room inside the office.

Lu Yunzhou stood there, a look of surprise on his face.

This Feng Qianyi seems to be different from what he imagined.

Logically speaking, a woman like her, who is rumored to have risen to power by selling her body, should be a mercenary and heartless person.

But today, even though it wasn't Fengming Group that owed wages, she took the initiative to assume responsibility and promised to advance the wages and properly resettle the workers.

Even if it were him, he probably wouldn't have chosen to do it this way.

Lu Yunzhou lit a cigarette and slowly smoked it, his impression of Feng Qianyi subtly changing.

Not long after, the office door was pushed open again.

A middle-aged man in a sharp suit walked in.

As soon as she entered, she called out urgently, "Feng Qianyi, you..."

But before he could finish speaking, he realized that only Lu Yunzhou was in the office.

Not seeing Feng Qianyi, his brows furrowed instantly, and he warily scrutinized Lu Yunzhou: "Who are you?"

Lu Yunzhou recognized the person in front of him.

Feng Shan, the eldest son of Old Madam Feng and a shareholder of Fengming Group!

He then stood up and greeted her in a calm tone: "Chairwoman Feng."

Feng Shan stared at Lu Yunzhou, his eyes full of scrutiny: "You brat, haven't we met somewhere before? You look so familiar."
