Chapter Eighty-Nine: Insolence—How Dare You Speak to President Chen That Way?

Shen Donghua saw this and said nothing more. He gazed deeply at Chen Yang, then turned and left.

As soon as Shen Donghua departed, Chen Yang quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Lin Qianyao. The reason Chen Yang called Lin Qianyao was to have him find two people. But these weren’t just any people—they were powerful hackers.

Chen Yang wanted Lin Qianyao to find two hackers for him because nowadays, society revolves around the internet. There are countless fascinating and amusing things online, but of course, hidden beneath the surface are secrets unknown to most. Chen Yang believed that in this society, every company and every family must have secrets lurking behind them. If he could have two skilled hackers helping him uncover these secrets, holding them in his hand would be a formidable weapon indeed.

Therefore, Chen Yang was determined to build a team of his own, and the first two people he needed were hackers.

The call went through quickly, and Lin Qianyao answered almost immediately. “Mr. Chen, what can I do for you?”

Chen Yang’s lips curved with a faint smile. “Of course I have something for you—I need you to help me find two hackers, strong in their abilities and good in character.”

“What? Hackers?” Lin Qianyao was utterly surprised; he hadn’t expected that Chen Yang would ask him to find hackers.

After a moment of astonishment, Lin Qianyao gave a helpless smile. “Mr. Chen, what do you need hackers for?”

“To serve me. I want to build a team of my own to deal with my enemies,” Chen Yang said lightly, smiling.

Lin Qianyao thought for a moment, then immediately understood Chen Yang’s intention, his eyes narrowing slightly. “So Mr. Chen wants these two hackers to become a part of your own group in the future, is that right?”

“Yes,” Chen Yang answered firmly.

Lin Qianyao considered it and felt he could probably find such people. He replied earnestly, “Alright, Mr. Chen, I’ll find them for you.”

“Good. Make it quick—I need them urgently,” Chen Yang said calmly.

Lin Qianyao nodded, exchanged farewells, and hung up.

After ending the call, Chen Yang went back to his own affairs. At present, the New City project in the northern suburbs had been temporarily halted due to the Yu family’s interference. But Chen Yang believed that as long as his plan succeeded, restarting construction at New City would be a simple matter.

Now, everything depended on Lin Qianyao finding those two hackers. Chen Yang was confident that Lin Qianyao would bring him quality candidates.

Meanwhile, at the Qin family villa, belonging to Qin Tianrong.

Qin Guofu had been closely watching the conflict between the Yu family and Huading Company, especially the Yu family’s active efforts to seize the land in the northern suburbs. Qin Guofu was well aware of everything happening.

He was delighted, even envisioning that if the Yu family managed to acquire that parcel, the Qin family might share in the project—a multimillion-dollar enterprise.

At this moment, Qin Guofu stood before Qin Tianrong, smiling. “Father, according to the latest reliable information, the New City project in the northern suburbs has been halted by the Yu family. They’re aggressively trying to void Huading Company’s contract to buy the land, aiming to seize it for themselves.”

“If the Yu family really gets their hands on that land, and our Qin family gets a piece of the project, our company’s finances would greatly improve,” he said.

Qin Tianrong sneered at this. “Shen Donghua thinks too highly of himself. He’s used to reigning supreme in Linhai and has gotten arrogant, thinking he can provoke anyone.”

“This time, the Yu family is serious. Heaven is smiling on the Qin family. I think Shen Donghua and Huading Company are in for trouble. I was pondering how to get revenge on Shen Donghua, but who would have thought he’d dig his own grave?” Qin Guofu said with a gloating grin.

Qin Tianrong narrowed his eyes and contemplated. As a veteran, he had experienced much more than Qin Guofu. He knew deeply that to achieve success, one must remain steady, especially when victory seems near.

With this in mind, Qin Tianrong looked earnestly at Qin Guofu and advised, “Guofu, at times like this, you need to keep close contact with the Yu family. Stay steady—don’t act recklessly.”

Qin Guofu nodded seriously. “Understood, Father.”

“And another thing,” Qin Tianrong continued, “A powerful clan like the Yu family will have many families seeking their partnership. If we want the Yu family firmly in our grasp, the Qin family must create value that other families cannot. Do you understand what I mean?”

Qin Guofu nodded again. “I do, Father. I’ll think seriously about it.”

“Good, that’s what I want to hear. If you seize this opportunity, the Qin family could rise again,” Qin Tianrong said, hands clasped behind his back, gazing out the window in anticipation.

“Understood, Father. I’ll be diligent and work hard,” said Qin Guofu, solemnly. He had made up his mind—no matter what, he would grasp this opportunity.

At six in the evening, Chen Yang returned home. Su Xiaoling was there as well. Seeing her, Chen Yang chuckled, “Xiaoling, you should be able to fulfill your promise now, right?”

Sitting on the sofa, Su Xiaoling glanced at Chen Yang and replied weakly, “Yes, I suppose I have to call you brother-in-law.”

“Go on then,” Chen Yang grinned.

“Alright, brother-in-law, you’re back from work? Tired? Why not sit down and let me give you a massage?” Su Xiaoling said sweetly.

“Mm, that’s comfortable,” Chen Yang replied cheerfully.

Then he squinted at Su Xiaoling with a smile. “But I don’t dare let you massage me. If your sister saw, she’d misunderstand. Better save your energy and just call me brother-in-law a few more times.”

Su Xiaoling rolled her eyes.

Her offer to relax him with a massage was, of course, sarcastic; she hadn’t expected Chen Yang to take it seriously. She was a bit speechless.

Still, thinking about how Chen Yang had brought thirty new students to her piano class, Su Xiaoling felt grateful to him.

After joking around, Chen Yang made his way to the kitchen to see what his mother-in-law was up to. His relaxed manner showed no sign of the burdens he carried. To outsiders, it would be impossible to tell that Chen Yang was currently contending with the Yu family, yet he showed no trace of anxiety.

That evening, Chen Yang dined with Qin Muxue’s family as usual. The meal was filled with conversation and laughter, peaceful and warm.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning. At eight-thirty, Chen Yang arrived at his office as usual.

Around ten o’clock, Shen Donghua suddenly entered his office with two young men dressed in black suits.

Stopping by Chen Yang’s desk, Shen Donghua spoke quietly. “Mr. Chen, they said they’re here to see you.”

Chen Yang glanced at the two youths. One had curly hair, wore black-rimmed glasses, and had an arrogant smile. The other had a square face, broad build, and eyes brimming with confidence.

After a quick glance, Chen Yang immediately recognized them as the hackers he’d been seeking.

He greeted them with a polite smile, swiveling his chair. “You’re here on Mr. Lin’s recommendation, aren’t you?”

The young man with black-rimmed glasses smiled confidently. “We heard you needed people, so my brother and I came early.”

“So, you’re quite willing to work for me?” Chen Yang asked, spreading his hands.

The glasses-wearing youth laughed. “Mr. Chen, what do you mean? We came all this way—surely you won’t let us leave empty-handed?”

Chen Yang laughed heartily at this. “As expected from computer experts—quick-witted. Of course I won’t let you leave empty-handed. But when I hire people, there are two basic requirements: first, absolute loyalty—total dedication. Second, exceptional computer skills, capable of handling any tasks I assign. If your abilities fall short, you must find a way to accomplish what I ask. Do you understand?”

The young man pushed up his glasses and smiled. “Mr. Chen, if you want absolute loyalty from us, you’ll need to give us conditions worthy of our loyalty.”

“How dare you speak to Mr. Chen like that!” The moment the glasses-wearing youth finished, Shen Donghua, feeling a bit uncomfortable, spoke up. He believed working for Chen Yang was an honor, but these two hackers seemed rather dismissive. Their attitude displeased him.
