Chapter 29

“You can trick kids with these little tricks, but not me,” Wang Tiezhu said coldly. “She’s still a student, and I bet many of the girls working here are in the same situation.

I’m calling the police right now. Let’s see who’s backing you up and daring to commit such heinous crimes!”

“Damn it!”

Huang Gong flared up. “Kid, you’re still talking tough at this point? Fine! I’ll beat you into submission first! Get him! I’ll take full responsibility!”

A dozen burly men immediately surrounded Wang Tiezhu.

“What’s going on?!”

At that moment, a cold female voice rang out from the doorway. Everyone inside turned to look. When Huang Gong saw who it was, his arrogance disappeared instantly. He squeezed out a fawning smile and rushed forward.

“President Ye, what brings you here today? I apologize for not welcoming you at the entrance!”

Ye Wei frowned upon seeing the smoky, chaotic room and asked in displeasure, “What’s happening here?”

Huang Gong quickly replied, “President Ye, some random punk came here looking for trouble. Sorry for alarming you! I’ll take care of it right away!”

Ye Wei was about to ask more questions when her eyes landed on the young man in front of her. She was momentarily stunned, then said in surprise:

“It’s you?!”

She walked up to him. “Wang Tiezhu, do you remember me? We met in Daniu Mountain.”

Wang Tiezhu nodded, also surprised to see her here. Judging by the way that arrogant man groveled before her, could she be the owner of “Golden Sands”?

Wasn’t this supposed to be a hotel?

Of course! Rich people are all the same!

With an indifferent expression, he said nothing.

Ye Wei noticed his cold demeanor and asked, “The manager here said you came looking for trouble. What happened?”

Wang Tiezhu countered, “Are you the owner here?”

“Uh… you could say that,” Ye Wei replied. “This is my family’s business.”

“Alright, since you’re the owner, I’ll tell you,” Wang Tiezhu said.

“I don’t know if your establishment has other illegal activities, and honestly, I don’t care.

But my friend here is just a student, yet you people lured her in with false promises, calling her a ‘technician.’ We all know what that really means.

That’s bad enough, but you even tricked her into signing a ten-year contract with an enormous breach-of-contract fee! How is this any different from selling girls to brothels in ancient times?

President Ye, I know you’re rich, but making money like this—without morals or conscience—do you really sleep well at night?”

Ye Wei’s expression darkened, not at Wang Tiezhu, but at the situation. She immediately called Huang Gong over and asked in a cold voice, “Is what he said true?”

“Uh…”

Huang Gong hesitated, sweat forming on his forehead. He stammered but couldn’t say a word.

Ye Wei immediately understood. Her voice turned icy as she reprimanded him:

“You’ve got some nerve! Who gave you permission to do this? Do you not realize this is illegal? This is ruining the Ye family’s reputation!

You’re fired! Get out of here immediately!”

“Thud!”

Huang Gong’s legs went weak, and he fell to his knees, crying and begging, “President Ye, please… Please give me another chance! I was just trying to increase the club’s revenue! I did everything for the Ye family!

I have a family to support—I can’t lose this job!” He reached out, trying to grab her leg.

Ye Wei kicked him away with her high heels and snapped, “Get lost!

I’ve made myself clear. I won’t repeat it. Leave!”

Huang Gong, seeing that soft tactics weren’t working, immediately changed his attitude. He stood up, wiped away his tears, and sneered coldly.

“President Ye, don’t forget—I was recommended for this position by Young Master Ye. Even if you want to fire me, you need his approval.

Besides, everything I did was under his orders. I was just following procedures.

If you have a problem, take it up with Young Master Ye. Don’t take it out on me—that’s not fair!”

“Heh…”

Ye Wei laughed coldly. “Huang Gong, you’ve grown bold, haven’t you? Don’t forget, I am the eldest daughter of the Ye family. Do you think I lack the authority to fire a mere manager?

I’ll tell you this one last time—either you leave quietly, or I’ll call the police.

I have plenty of evidence against you—account books, surveillance footage, voice recordings, even videos of you with women in bed.

If you want to test me, go ahead.”

“You…”

Huang Gong was shocked and frightened. This woman was a true viper! She had secretly gathered so much evidence against him. He wasn’t sure if it was real, but he didn’t dare take the risk.

After a moment of hesitation, he gave up. Gritting his teeth, he spat, “Fine! You win!” and stormed out.

Once he was gone, Ye Wei dismissed the security guards, leaving only the three of them in the room.

She turned to Wang Tiezhu and the girl beside him and said sincerely, “Mr. Wang, and Miss, I sincerely apologize. This was my fault.

I’ll compensate you for any losses. Name your price…”

“Forget the money,” Wang Tiezhu interrupted. “President Ye, if you really want to help, just destroy the contract my friend signed.

She’s just a young girl. If word gets out, it could ruin her future.”

“No problem!”

Ye Wei immediately had someone bring the contract over and destroyed it in front of them.

Wang Tiezhu didn’t linger. With a simple “Thanks,” he grabbed Huang Beibei’s hand, ready to leave.

“Wait a minute!”

Ye Wei called out to him.

“What? Is there something else?” Wang Tiezhu turned back.

Ye Wei smiled.

“Mr. Wang, back in Daniu Mountain, you saved my life. You even single-handedly took down a wild boar. You’ve got impressive skills.

Would you be interested in becoming my bodyguard?

A personal bodyguard, that is.”

She emphasized the last few words, her meaning ambiguous.

Wang Tiezhu sized her up. She was dressed casually—denim shorts, a white T-shirt, long hair tied into a ponytail. Her figure was graceful, her face stunning.

A goddess, without a doubt!

But what was she thinking? Could she really be offering herself as repayment for saving her life?

He didn’t dwell on it. Shaking his head, he replied, “Sorry, I’m not interested in being a bodyguard. I have fruit trees to take care of back home.

I’m leaving.”
