CHAPTER 712 I WILL SETTLE IT
Fan Luo closed his eyes and waited for Li Dong to be enlightened.
To him, all these people would eventually learn how to behave. Humans had to go through some hardship in order to mature.
Li Dong's face was pale from anger when he walked out of Fan Luo's office.
This Fan Luo was really terrible!
He was just a director and worked for others too. But he was so arrogant!
"Now I suddenly find that you have a really good temper,” Number 5 remarked through clenched teeth. "I nearly killed him on the spot earlier!"
He had never seen someone like that. Fan Luo wasn't just arrogant. He also just did whatever he fancied and was a disgrace to the office he held.
"These people are like that, and it's especially bad in Jiebei," Li Dong shook his head. "But yet, you can't find any problem or evidence against them. They just need to find a lousy excuse and they can force you to give in to their demands. What can you do about that?"
Li Dong was angry too, but there was nothing he could do.
Fan Luo and the six powerful families behind him who controlled Jiebei used this sort of despicable tactic to get 70% of the profits from Lin Group.
That was the reason why Jiebei couldn't advance as a city. The northern region was pretty much all like this because all the roads into the city had been blocked by all these powerful families. They didn't want any rivals to be able to enter and threaten their position.
"Don't worry, we'll wait for Big Boss to come," said Number 5. "Once Big Boss is here, everything will be settled."
LI Dong had no choice but to call Jiang Ning. To his surprise, Jiang Ning was already on his way.
He seemed to already know that something would happen and Li Dong would run out of ideas by now. He was going to come when Li Dong needed him the most.
By afternoon, Jiang Ning had arrived. Only Brother Gou was with him, but Number 5 knew that all his fellow brothers had come along too.
"Brother Ning, I'm really sorry." Li Dong was very ashamed of himself. He felt like he had disappointed the hopes that Jiang Ning had in him.
Out of the five gantries, he had only taken down two of them. And Jiang Ning had helped him secretly with Tianbei too. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"You've done a good job," Jiang Ning smiled and praised Li Dong. "You know, there are many others who haven't been able to get through a single one. Even those who managed to had to pay a terribly high price."
Li Dong nodded.
It was daylight robbery!
He was never going to agree to such terms.
"Don't worry, these small matters aren't a problem to Lin Group at all," said Jiang Ning. "What you need to do is to widen your horizons. This tiny northern market isn't your world."
These few sentences were enough to make Li Dong feel like his blood was surging through his body.
Jiang Ning didn't blame him and even encouraged him. He was even willing to give Li Dong a chance to keep maturing and growing!
"I said before that I want everybody to mature together with Lin Group," Jiang Ning patted Li Dong's shoulder. "What level Lin Group can reach in the future will not only depend on Yuzhen and myself. It will depend on every single one of you who work for Lin Group. Not a single person less. Understand?"
"I understand!" Li Dong felt like crying. "Brother Ning, I won't let you down!”
Jiang Ning nodded. "Alright now, pull yourself together. It's time to get down to work."
"Li Dong, get yourself ready. Yuzhen's side is almost done and the goods will be shipped over soon. Get ready to receive the goods and prepare for the next step." Jiang Ning walked towards the door. "I'll settle the rest."
Jiang Ning then left with Brother Gou.
Li Dong took a deep breath and turned to Number 5. His voice trembled, "For a moment there, I really wanted to give my life to Brother Ning!"
Number 5 laughed. He could empathize with him. "I totally get you."
"Let's get to work!"
The two of them sorted themselves out and got busy. Meanwhile, Jiang Ning and Brother Gou left to look for Fan Luo again.
Fan Luo was sitting on the sofa now and leisurely making his tea. The documents
on his office desk were already piled as high as a mountain.
It was more interesting to make tea than to go through all these nitty gritty things.
"I wonder who will look for me next. I hope it's someone who knows how to behave."
Fan Luo was pouring tea for himself when someone suddenly kicked his office door open with a loud bang.
