Zhou Wang directly pointed at the only somewhat decent-looking person in the crowd, Cheng Long, and asked, "Or, can you find a way to get acquainted?"
"Hahaha, Brother Dog, you’re really asking the right person."
Cheng Qing smiled and looked at Cheng Long, "Hey, you’re from Fanhua Garden Company, right? Do you know Cheng Jingrong?"
"Are you talking about our Chairman Cheng?"
Cheng Long was stunned and asked cautiously.
"Yeah, your chairman, oh, I forgot to tell you... he’s also my fourth uncle, by blood."
"Wha-what... the chairman is your fourth uncle?"
As Cheng Long started to panic a bit, Cheng Zhe’s cousin already moved forward.
"Uncle, he’s Cheng Qing, Cheng Qing!"
Seeing that Cheng Long hadn’t realized yet, Cheng Zhe’s cousin urgently added, "Cheng Jingtian’s son!"
As soon as Cheng Long heard the name "Cheng Jingtian," he finally woke up from the daze. If hearing about the relationship between Cheng Jingrong and Cheng Qing earlier made him just panic, now he was terrified.
Cheng Jingtian was well-known in Yi County, a local star entrepreneur, and many believed he was Yi County’s richest man.
At the same time, he was one of the most prominent figures in the Cheng family of Yi County, with a very high reputation locally.
His rags-to-riches story was filled with legendary tales; he had dabbled in almost every down-to-earth industry, and there were rumors that... this part couldn’t be mentioned.
In short, at this moment, Cheng Long felt everything going black; living in Yi County and offending such a figure was no different from the sky collapsing.
"Wow, I thought you looked familiar. You’re a foreman under my family’s construction company, right? Didn’t you bring gifts to my home before?"
When Cheng Zhe’s cousin jumped out, Cheng Qing remembered something after a moment of reflection. He pointed at Cheng Zhe’s cousin and said with sudden realization:
"So, this trash Cheng Zhe is your brother, right?"
During the brief stop at the service area, Zhou Wang had already explained the situation to them simply.
It’s not that these second-generation heirs were overly righteous, but anyway, Zhou Wang’s "enemy" was their "enemy," and everyone expressed their anger.
Cheng Qing had told Zhou Wang at the time that since they were surnamed Cheng and lived in Yi County, there was no one he couldn’t deal with. Now he was ready to deliver on the boast he had made in front of Brother Dog.
He took out his phone and made a call. While waiting for the call to go through, he pointed at Cheng Long first:
"You won’t have to go to work tomorrow."
Before Cheng Long could react, the call was already connected.
"Hey, Fifth Brother, it’s me, hahaha, you’re managing personnel at Fanhua Company, right? There’s someone named Cheng Long... Yeah, their family doesn’t act right, just fire him... I’m back in Yi County; I’ll explain in detail when I get home, don’t worry, it’s definitely not nonsense..."
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Long pointed at Cheng Zhe’s cousin again.
"You don’t have to work either; go to the company tomorrow and settle your unpaid wages, then get lost!"
He needed to make a call for matters at Fanhua Company, but for a small foreman under his family’s construction company, he could decide with a single word—
His father had intended to hand over that construction company to him.
"Brother Dog, see if there’s anything else needed... oh, right, and these people, let me look into it. As long as they’re within my reach, each one of them, they won’t need to work anymore!"
Cheng Qing pointed at a group of relatives and friends of Cheng Zhe, still smiling, but his words sent chills down many people’s spines.
How could he not reach them?
Most of them were surnamed Cheng, and even if they didn’t work for Cheng Qing’s family company, given his family’s connections across various industries and their status in the Cheng family, it made no difference.
This was the "Brahmin" of the county town.
Zhou Wang was awed to see this was not the end. Cheng Qing smiled and said to him:
"Brother Dog, don’t worry, firing them is just the basic step. Later, I’ll have someone thoroughly check their accounts to see if there’s any misconduct or violation of company regulations..."
If Cheng Long and Cheng Zhe’s cousin could barely maintain their composure earlier, or perhaps hadn’t had time to react, now they were genuinely panicking.
"No, no... Mr., Mr. Cheng... this..."
Cheng Long trembled, trying to plead, but couldn’t form a complete sentence.
Cheng Zhe’s cousin was also bewildered, completely at a loss for what to do.
He was just there to support his cousin, he didn’t do anything, yet he ended up losing his livelihood.
Not only that, but how many in the construction industry weren’t subject to checks; it might lead to imprisonment. No, it wasn’t, if Cheng Qing really wanted to destroy him, he’d definitely end up in prison...
At this moment, Cheng Zhe’s mother, Liu Fang, suddenly rushed over, sat on the ground, and wailed loudly, "Oh my God, they’re killing us. How are we supposed to live from now on? Everyone, come and see, the rich are bullying us common folk..."
"Stop yelling. I suppose the police will be here soon, someone will ’uphold justice’ for you. By the way, I might as well charge you with extortion and defamation."
Zhou Wang glanced at her and said indifferently.
Liu Fang’s mother was stunned and indeed fell silent. At this moment, Cheng Long finally remembered something. He turned and shouted:
"Cheng Zhe, what are you hiding for, hurry up and come over to apologize to Mr. Zhou!"
"Exactly, Cheng Zhe, staying back there doesn’t make you a man, hurry up and apologize..."
