Dragon Blood Divine Son-in-law-Chapter 45 - 0 Are you threatening me
45: Chapter 045 Are you threatening me?
45 -045 Are you threatening me?
Chen Xuan’s face grew dark.
It seemed that Yao Gaosheng was accustomed to throwing his weight around.
Unfortunately for him, Chen Xuan did not play by those rules!
“I don’t care if others dare to speak to you like this, but I, Chen Xuan, have always spoken my mind!”
Chen Xuan’s words were powerful and uncompromising!
At this, Yao Gaosheng was completely infuriated.
He considered himself of high status and power, issuing orders wherever he went, but today, this insignificant son-in-law of the Han Family dared to defy him, which he perceived as a great insult to his authority!
“So you prefer to face the consequences rather than showing due respect!
Since that’s the case, there’s nothing left to say.
I now officially inform you that the dance lead must be our Xiaomin.
Otherwise, I will ensure your wife’s Han Corporation won’t get out of this unscathed!”
Chen Xuan’s eyes narrowed, “Are you threatening me?”
Yao Gaosheng snorted coldly, “Yes, I’m threatening you.
What are you going to do about it?”
From the very beginning, Yao Gaosheng never even considered Chen Xuan, the son-in-law, worth noticing.
Even the matriarch of the Han Family had to respectfully call him Director Yao whenever she saw him, let alone a mere son-in-law – what was he in comparison!

However, no sooner had Yao Gaosheng finished speaking.
“Slap!”
Chen Xuan delivered a resounding slap straight across Yao Gaosheng’s face, knocking off his glasses.
Fong Rong was stunned by this sudden turn of events, and the onlookers all turned to look, as if they had seen a ghost.
This son-in-law of the Han Family actually hit Director Yao?
Had he gone mad!
Yao Gaosheng, clutching his face, took a moment to respond.
“You… you…
you’ve got some nerve, daring to hit me!”
“Yes, I hit you, and what are you going to do about it?”
Chen Xuan threw Yao’s own words right back at him.
“Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have a little power?
Don’t forget, who granted you that power!
Without the people, you are nothing!”
Chen Xuan absolutely despised such scoundrels who bullied others by throwing their weight around.
However, no sooner had Chen Xuan finished speaking than a scolding voice came from among the onlooking parents.
“Mr.
Chen, how can you speak to Director Yao like that!”
“Exactly, Director Yao isn’t someone you have any right to lecture!”
“That’s outrageous!
Apologize to Director Yao at once!”
Some eager parents even ran over to fawn over Yao Gaosheng, “Director Yao, are you all right?”
Compared to Chen Xuan, this useless son-in-law, they naturally chose to side with Yao Gaosheng.
Yao Gaosheng pushed the parents away and pointed at Chen Xuan, cursing furiously, “Fine, this is what you asked for.
Tomorrow, I will make sure Han Corporation shuts down for rectification!
I’ll see to it that your wife becomes unemployed!
I will make your whole family unable to afford a meal in Huai City!
Then you’ll see whether I have the power to do as I please!”
Yao Gaosheng was raging and could not be calmed.
Fong Rong was sneering endlessly, thinking Chen Xuan had brought this on himself.
Chen Xuan’s face was dark, and he was about to speak when suddenly a voice rang out.
“Abusing power to bully others, Yao Gaosheng, you really dare throw your weight around!”
No sooner had the voice faded than a figure stepped directly into the crowd.
Without even looking, a parent pointed at the newcomer and scolded angrily, “Who are you to speak to Director Yao that way!”
Without waiting for a response, Yao Gaosheng pushed the parent aside and came respectfully to the figure before him, “Director Cheng, what brings you here…”
Director Cheng?
The head of the Medical Bureau, Cheng Qianjun?
The parent who had been causing trouble just shrank back in fear—this person’s rank was far above Yao Gaosheng!
Cheng Qianjun snorted coldly, “It’s fortunate that I came.
If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have known about the great capabilities of Director Yao!”
Yao Gaosheng’s knees went weak with fear, almost collapsing to the ground.
“Director Cheng, you are unaware, it was this kid who struck me first.”
“That’s right, it was this man surnamed Chen who disrespected his superiors—it’s truly not our Old Yao’s fault…” Fong Rong added, backing him up.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Cheng Qianjun shouted angrily, “How dare you!
The name of Mr.
Chen is not something you can disgrace!”
With that, Cheng Qianjun bowed to Chen Xuan, full of remorse, “Younger Brother Chen, I apologize.
It’s my lack of discipline that has led to this offense!”
Upon hearing this, the entire scene fell silent.
Yao Gaosheng and Fong Rong both stood rigidly in place, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.
The authoritative head of the Medical Bureau, Cheng Qianjun, was actually apologizing to this son-in-law of the Han Family and even addressing him as a brother?
This was beyond imagination.
How could a freeloading son-in-law have such tremendous influence?
Chen Xuan looked at Cheng Qianjun with a cold expression, “I often hear people say, ‘if the upper beam isn’t straight, the lower ones will go askew.’ Now, I would like to ask Director Cheng, what do you think of that saying?”
Everyone gasped in shock upon hearing this.
He dared to admonish even a top-ranking official like Cheng Qianjun—Chen Xuan’s courage was perhaps too great!
Cheng Qianjun, far from being displeased, showed nothing but apology on his face.
“Rest assured, Younger Brother Chen, I, Cheng Qianjun, have no desire to associate with such scum!”
After saying that, Cheng Qianjun turned to Yao Gaosheng and commanded coldly, “Janitor Old Liu is retiring next week.
You’ll start his job tomorrow; it’s the very least you can do to be of use!”
Yao Gaosheng was struck as if by lightning, dropping to the ground and crying out, “Director Cheng, I know I was wrong.
Please give me another chance!
The people need me, I have many duties to fulfill, I can’t be reduced to cleaning, Director Cheng…”
Yao Gaosheng begged desperately, but Cheng Qianjun paid him no attention whatsoever.
“Younger Brother Chen, I have an important matter to request your help with.
Please come with me,” he said.
Chen Xuan nodded, and taking Xiao Yu with him, he followed Cheng Qianjun and left the Kaiyue Garden Hotel directly.
Watching the backs of Chen Xuan and his group as they left, everyone present couldn’t help but sigh in wonder.
How could they not have anticipated that the son-in-law of the Han Family, whom they had looked down upon, would receive such respect from Cheng Qianjun!
Such a great opportunity to make connections had slipped through their fingers, and everyone was filled with regret.
The ones who regretted the most, of course, were Yao Gaosheng and Fong Rong.
They thought they had Chen Xuan under their thumb, but instead of stealing a chicken, they ended up losing their rice; Yao Gaosheng even lost his position!
If they had known how formidable Chen Xuan was, not for ten times the courage would they have dared to provoke him!
After leaving the gathering, Chen Xuan took the opportunity to drop Xiao Yu off at home first.
“Director Cheng, are you in trouble?” Chen Xuan asked in the car.
In fact, as soon as Chen Xuan had arrived at the gathering, he had received a phone call from Shen Zhizhuan asking about his whereabouts.
At that moment, Chen Xuan had guessed that something might have happened concerning Director Cheng, which turned out to be the case when the latter came looking for him.
Cheng Qianjun almost knelt down to Chen Xuan then and there.
“Save me, Younger Brother Chen!” he pleaded.
