Chapter 83: What a Bold Move

Liu Shanhua thought he was still in a relatively good position. Photographer Huang had even been crippled by Lin Chen. At the time, Lin Chen had threatened to make sure everything was handled cleanly, or else he would come back for him.

Liu Shanhua had initially harbored thoughts of revenge, but after being tortured to near death, the hospital found no physical issues with him. This made him dare not think of revenge against Lin Chen anymore. He even paid out of his own pocket to resolve Huang's situation, only hoping never to provoke Lin Chen again.

Tan Chengkang's face turned from green to white, unsure what had gotten into Liu Shanhua. Just a moment ago, Liu was trying to please him, but upon hearing that Su Xiran was to be fired, his attitude changed immediately.

Moreover, Liu Shanhua seemed to be very afraid of Lin Chen. What was going on? Could it be that Lin Chen was actually a rich kid pretending to be a nobody?

Thinking about this, Tan Chengkang narrowed his eyes, becoming more cautious.

The others also looked at Lin Chen in surprise, their doubts growing. Liu Shanhua really seemed to be afraid of this kid. Could it be that he was hiding something?

Only Su Xiran knew some of the reasons, but she was also curious. She knew that Lin Chen had severely disciplined Liu Shanhua last time, but Liu, by all accounts, was a tough guy. Why was he so afraid? What did Lin Chen do last time?

This kid is getting more and more mysterious.

Tan Chengkang looked at Lin Chen, his disdain gone, and asked suspiciously, "Is Liu Shanhua really afraid of you? Why is he afraid of you?"

Lin Chen smiled and shrugged, "It's simple. I beat him up badly last time, almost to death, so he doesn't dare to mess with me anymore."

"Haha, so you scared him by beating him up. You're really something!" Tan Chengkang seemed to be praising Lin Chen, but his tone was mocking, and the caution in his eyes was gone.

The others were also taken aback. It turned out that Liu Shanhua was scared by brute force. They had thought he was some rich or powerful kid pretending to be a nobody.

In this day and age, what good is being strong? At the end of the day, you're just a thug!

This made everyone feel even more that Su Xiran was being treated unfairly.

Tan Chengkang sneered, "So, you're just a thug. Kid, being strong doesn't mean anything these days!"

He pointed to his head, "To make it in life, you need to rely on your brain. Otherwise, you need a good family background!"

Lin Chen replied calmly, "My brain is better than yours. At least I wouldn't eat shit voluntarily. If you had a good brain, would you want to eat shit? Clearly, your brain is not right."

"You... bastard, you're the one who likes to eat shit! It's as if my uncle really owes you something. You're just pretending. Don't think that just because Liu Shanhua is afraid of you, I can't fire Su Xiran. I just need to make a call to my uncle!"

At that moment, a stern voice came from the doorway.

"Chengkang, how is your photoshoot going? Are you getting used to the company? What's going on here, why are you all gathered here?"

Everyone turned to see the newcomer and immediately showed respect, saying in unison, "President Tan!"

The newcomer was Tan Hengxing.

The authoritative presence of Tan Hengxing, who didn't need to be angry to command respect, made everyone a bit nervous. However, Tan Hengxing had been in a good mood recently because his father's illness had been cured by a miraculous doctor. His face was more amiable.

Tan Hengxing originally had a younger brother, but his brother had died in a car accident years ago, leaving behind a son, Tan Chengkang. He had loved his brother dearly, and after his brother's death, he treated his nephew as his own, taking care of him meticulously.

One could say that Tan Chengkang's rise to the top as a male model was entirely due to his uncle's efforts.

Today, his nephew was shooting a GG advertisement for a clothing brand, which was a major client of their company, so he had come to check on things.

Hearing everyone greet him, Tan Hengxing smiled, "Good, everyone is doing well."

Tan Chengkang, seeing Tan Hengxing, immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, you're here."

Tan Hengxing nodded with a smile, "How is the GG advertisement for 'Yiran Clothing' going?"

Tan Chengkang's eyes suddenly darted, and he looked angry, "Uncle, everything was going smoothly, but because of the effect needed, Photographer Li made some requests. These requests required me to have physical contact with the female model. The female model thought I was trying to take advantage of her, and her husband even came here to cause a scene! It's ridiculous!"

Photographer Li quickly added, "President Tan, what Young Master Tan said is true. This female model, Su Xiran, has a very twisted mind and no professional ethics. Her husband is just a thug who came here to cause trouble. We can't even take the pictures needed for the GG advertisement!"

Hearing their accusations, Su Xiran wanted to defend herself, but Lin Chen held her hand and shook his head with a smile.

Su Xiran was puzzled by Lin Chen's meaning, but she was anxious and ultimately did not speak.

Tan Hengxing was furious, "What a mess! According to what you say, this female model is far too unprofessional. And what about the security guards? How could a thug get in here? Call the security guards to throw him out. In my territory, when did thugs dare to cause trouble? They have no sense of their own mortality!"

"Uncle, don't worry. I'll have the security guards deal with him. I plan to fire that female model first. This kind of model is a bad apple!" Tan Chengkang said.

"Then fire her. Go directly to Manager Zhang in the HR department. For the GG advertisement for 'Yiran Clothing,' we can just replace the female model." Tan Hengxing said indifferently. Firing a small model was nothing to him.

"Good! I'll fire her, and she'll have to pay a breach of contract fee!" Tan Chengkang said excitedly.

He then smiled at Lin Chen, "Kid, do you still think I can't fire Su Xiran? You're just a loser, not knowing your place. We'll see if you dare to be so arrogant in the future!"

Tan Hengxing followed Tan Chengkang's gaze and suddenly trembled.

Lin Chen smiled and nodded at Tan Hengxing. Tan Hengxing's face changed drastically, and he turned to look at the still smug Tan Chengkang with a stern face.

Slap!

A sharp sound echoed, and five finger marks appeared on Tan Chengkang's right cheek.

The smile froze on Tan Chengkang's face. He covered his face and looked at Tan Hengxing in shock, "Uncle, you... why did you hit me?"

Tan Hengxing was furious, "Tan Chengkang, the thug you mentioned is Lin Brother? You dare to be disrespectful to Lin Brother? What a bold move!"

"Lin... Lin Brother? Uncle, what are you talking about! The thug I mentioned is this kid, he's not Lin Brother!" Tan Chengkang said, feeling wronged.
