Chapter 413: 413 protect
All day today, everyone who was in the dining car and witnessed the incident has been talking about it privately.
Everyone knows that Su Yuanyuan is really not someone to be messed with.
Even the big boss is aware of the matter. After the meeting, he didn't dismiss everyone.
"I've heard about what happened in the dining car. The current behavior really needs improvement. Learning must be continuous every day, and the quality of family members must also be raised."
No one is foolish; everyone understands that the big boss is biased toward Mr. Su, and so now, no one dares to say anything.
Upon returning home, everyone instructs their wives to behave properly in the future and to definitely not provoke Mr. Su. The big boss has spoken, after all.
Zhou Changjin told Cai Yingmei about this event upon returning home, and she was also a bit scared.
"Changjin, will this affect you in any way?"
"Now you know fear? You really have no brains. Tan Shaoting is my superior. How could you not consider it would affect me back then?
Tan Shaoting is known for being very protective. If his subordinates are mistreated outside, he directly steps in with backup.
Now it's about his wife, so what do you think he will do?"
"Changjin, I really know I was wrong. I promise it won't happen again."
"Look at those other women, nothing happened to them, and in the future, their husbands will also be fine.
Sigh, forget it; we'll talk about it once Tan Shaoting returns. He's not as easygoing as Zhang Chunsheng."
Cai Yingmei truly regretted it at this moment, realizing the adage 'stir up trouble and you suffer.'
She could avoid farming in the village because her husband had skills. If her husband fails, they'd have to go back to farming in their hometown.
She was now profoundly regretting it—why was she so foolish? She fell for others' manipulation, and her husband's future promotions might be hindered while others have one less competitor.
Su Yuanyuan still roamed the hallway with the kids as before, and went to the dining car for meals. But now, Tan Shaoting's subordinates were there to help take care of the three young ones.
Finally, after ten days, the children had adapted. They were no longer throwing tantrums and could settle down to read books.
The three were reading books together. Su Yuanyuan smiled as Tan Shaoting got on board. Her pent-up anxiety was finally released.
Tan Shaoting knew the location of his wife and children. Though he looked a bit disheveled now, he did so intentionally, knowing that standing out too much wasn't good.
He went directly to report his work to the boss.
"Xiao Tan, very outstanding."
"Boss, it's my duty."
"Hmm, you'll receive recognition for this mission. After reaching headquarters, you'll definitely get a promotion."
Tan Shaoting simply saluted. He had already considered withdrawing and had discussed it with his superiors.
Seeing Tan Shaoting's actions, Tang Shiyi sighed, "Xiao Tan, it's not that I'm denying your request, but higher-ups are dealing with issues. You're so outstanding, and we need you right now."
This was why Tang Shiyi kept a check on his subordinates, knowing that if Tan Shaoting, with withdrawal already on his mind, got more agitated due to his wife and kids being mistreated, it would be a lose-lose situation.
He knew how much Tan Shaoting valued his wife, and she was indeed worth it.
"Boss, I spend too little time with my wife and children. Even if I withdraw, if there's a task that truly requires my presence, I will never back down."
"Xiao Tan, let this matter rest. It's really not within my authority to approve it anymore."
Tan Shaoting saluted, "Understood, boss. I know what to do now.
Where is my wife and kids' carriage?"
"Let Xiao Chin take you there. They're all doing fine, and besides, your wife is not someone who can be easily bullied."
Upon hearing this, Tan Shaoting frowned.
"Xiao Chin, tell Tan Shaoting about the incident." It couldn't be hidden anyway, and besides, Xiao Su had already vented her anger.
After leaving the office, Xiao Chin followed behind Tan Shaoting and recounted the incident without exaggeration.
"Which carriage is Zhou Changjin in?"
"Boss, about that?"
Without acknowledging him or stopping, Tan Shaoting headed straight to Zhou Changjin's carriage.
Though not covered in dust, his look was obviously travel-worn.
Standing at the door, he knocked. It was Zhou Changjin who opened the door.
With one punch, Zhou Changjin fell back into the carriage as screams came from inside.
"Zhou Changjin, come out," Tan Shaoting's voice was icy.
Wiping the blood from his nose, Zhou Changjin immediately stood up and went out.
"Boss, I'm sorry."
"This punch is to remind you not to lay a finger on my wife. My wife kicked you too lightly.
As for matters between women, I wasn't here, so it doesn't matter. But if there's a next time, I won't hesitate to hit women."
Standing to the side, Xiao Chin sighed. The tone and content were the same.
"Yes, boss, I'm sorry."
Tan Shaoting turned and left. He didn't have time to waste with them; his wife and kids were still waiting for him.
Seeing Tan Shaoting walk away, Zhou Changjin felt relieved. He knew it was over since Tan Shaoting had a reputation of his own.
Cai Yingmei came out cautiously to look at her husband.
Seeing she was truly frightened, Zhou Changjin said nothing, but he determined to keep his wife and kids in check in the future.
Their family's reputation really wasn't good these days.
Leading the way, Xiao Chin brought Tan Shaoting to their carriage door.
Outside, Tan Shaoting took a deep breath before knocking.
Su Yuanyuan opened the door, smiled at her husband outside, and said, "Welcome back." She knew about the incident with Zhou Changjin.
Actually, she wasn't angry anymore by that night, so it was all settled.
"Yuanyuan, I'm back."
At this moment, the three little ones ran out. Two hugged Tan Shaoting's legs while another held his hand.
"Daddy!" they chorused.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Chin quietly left. It was a family reunion, and he had no place there.
However, upon seeing his wife and children, the boss's aura had obviously changed.
Tan Shaoting squatted down, picked up the three kids, and the family of five entered the carriage.
Su Yuanyuan watched them play around with a smile. Though the children were still young, they had great memory, and held a natural familial affection for Tan Shaoting.
Everyone who traveled back together knew that Tan Shaoting had returned, and it wasn't surprising that Zhou Changjin got beaten up.
The women were now afraid, not expecting that he was so tough; even if he hit someone, he could do so with such justification.
In the future, even if they were displeased, they wouldn't dare to say so openly. Both husband and wife didn't mince words, and directly took action.
