Chapter 371 End (2/3)
Sun Xiaoting was slightly stunned, a sudden panic rising in her heart.
It was Ye Xin's calm and confident demeanor that made Sun Xiaoting feel that this matter was real.
But that was only for a moment.
Sun Xiaoting immediately recalled the time at the café's parking lot when Ye Xin had the same assured and superior attitude, scaring her so much that she couldn't sleep well for several days.
Now it seems, nothing happened to her at all.
Just because of Ye Xin's words, she worried for several days, even considering whether to tell her parents about it.
But in the end, Sun Xiaoting found that there was no disturbance, and their company was completely unharmed.
Ye Xin was just all talk.
Perhaps he had some connections with certain cafés or maybe some ties within the commerce bureau, but beyond that, nothing more.
Maybe he could deal with some small companies, but a tax-paying giant like the Blue Maple Group, a pillar power within the city, isn't something that could be stirred at will.
What about all those employees?
Unemployment rates would skyrocket!
Who could bear such responsibility?
So, a large corporate group isn't something you can tamper with easily.
"Ha ha!" Sun Xiaoting sneered coldly, glaring at Ye Xin, "Do you think I would still believe you?"
"No need!" Ye Xin said coolly, "When it's time to believe, you'll believe naturally."
She didn't care whether Sun Xiaoting believed her or not; once the people arrived, the facts would be set in stone.
"Let me tell you, Ye Xin, I wasn't scared into growing up! I grew up in an orphanage; do you know what kind of environment that is? It's a world of dog-eat-dog!" Sun Xiaoting almost gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Hearing this, Yang Chen's brow furrowed tightly, forming a character.
He never would have imagined that Sun Xiaoting would describe the orphanage as a dog-eat-dog world.
"Do you know what poverty is? Poverty is having to discard all dignity and moral baseline. You have to fight for things that the rich wouldn't even spare a glance at, and sometimes you have to pay unimaginable costs for those things! For example, when I was a child, eating a chicken drumstick, to put it bluntly, was like throwing a fat sheep into a pack of hungry wolves! I just hated that I wasn't the leader of the Beggar Gang and didn't know the Dog Beating Stick Skill, unable to drive away all those wild dogs!"
"Do you know what it's like for a golden phoenix to fly out of a chicken coop? I don't think you understand; it means you've been poor to the extent that you don't even have the money to buy clothes, having to smear mud on your skin to cover the crucial parts, barely making it a flimsy pretense of decency while knowing you're still stark naked! That's when you need to throw yourself into a fire pit, let the flames scorch you, purify you! If you survive, you'll transform, metamorphose into a golden, radiant phoenix with brilliant feathers!"
"Shut up!" Yang Chen finally couldn't stand it, scolding, "Stop saying that anymore! What I can tell you now is, the current you aren't even fit to be Cinderella!"
After saying this, Yang Chen looked angrily at Ye Xin, asking, "Where are the people? Can this be resolved? If not, let me handle it!"
He really couldn't stand Sun Xiaoting any longer, feeling extremely angry inside.
If this wasn't Sun Xiaoting, or rather, if it wasn't a woman, he would've punched them long ago.
To severely teach them a lesson on gratitude, on kindness!
And now, in the end, it became a dog-eat-dog world.
If the director or Chen Siyan were to hear this, wouldn't they be heartbroken?
Yang Chen really couldn't stand someone insulting the director and that once warm place that gave hope to children!
Seeing Yang Chen angry, Ye Xin reassured him, "Soon! They should be arriving any moment now."
At this moment, Sun Yue said, "They are here, just came up!"
Ye Xin nodded and said, "Let them come directly!"
"Yes!" Sun Yue immediately walked out.
Seeing this scene, Sun Xiaoting was extremely uneasy inside.
Who was coming?
What were they here for?
Sun Xiaoting was filled with trepidation.
Soon enough, the door was pushed open, and Sun Yue brought in a group of people, all dressed in enforcement uniforms.
Seeing these uniformed personnel, Sun Xiaoting's heart thudded hard.
Immediately, she pointed at them and asked, "Who are you people?"
A middle-aged man glanced at Sun Xiaoting, taking out a document with a red seal and said, "We are the Industry and Commerce Tax Joint Enforcement Team, currently discovering that Blue Maple Group has significant tax evasion and many problematic accounts, here to investigate!"
Seeing this document, Sun Xiaoting almost couldn't stand steady.
Honestly, Sun Xiaoting worked hard because she wanted a better life, to outperform those doing better than her, so she endeavored to study hard.
So, she was very knowledgeable about these governmental matters and understood some internal company tactics.
However, she still couldn't believe how Ye Xin possessed such substantial influence.
She pointed at Ye Xin, "Ye Xin, don't think by bringing in a bunch of actors, I will believe you!"
The middle-aged man sighed, took out his credentials, and said, "Flame Country Tax, did you see clearly? These work credentials are not something that can be forged!"
Seeing the man's credentials and title, Sun Xiaoting finally collapsed, falling to the ground with a thud, her face turning pale and her lips turning purple.
"No! This can't be! This is absolutely impossible!" Sun Xiaoting couldn't believe it.
Yang Chen was also quite surprised that Ye Xin could connect with these departments.
But since the people were here, it indicated that things had come to a head.
"Let's go!" Yang Chen said.
Ye Xin nodded and said to Wei Xueqing, "Let's go Qingqing, just wait for the results when we get back."
Wei Xueqing nodded, gratefully saying, "Thank you Xinxin!"
Ye Xin shook her head with a smile, "Do we sisters need to say that?"
Wei Xueqing knew it wasn't necessary, but she still felt grateful in her heart.
The three of them prepared to leave when Sun Xiaoting suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Yang Chen's leg and crying, "Yang Chen! Brother Chen! Brother Chen! You can't do this to me, Brother Chen! I'm begging you, Brother Chen! Don't do this to me! Think of our childhood, think of our past relationship, Brother Chen! Please forgive me, let me off the hook this time! I'm begging you, ask sister-in-law to plead for me!"
After saying this, Sun Xiaoting went to grab Ye Xin.
She was truly terrified of being poor; if Blue Maple Group collapsed, she would be penniless.
As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!
If Sun Xiaoting were to return to her former impoverished life, she'd rather die than endure it; she simply couldn't handle that kind of life anymore!
Yang Chen coldly looked at her, at this moment, having no trace of pity in his heart.
He pulled his leg away and walked straight out without saying a word.
Ye Xin looked at her and said, "You brought this all on yourself!"
After saying this, Ye Xin took Wei Xueqing and left, leaving Sun Xiaoting alone crouched on the floor crying out.
