Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Our Agreement Ends Here

Hearing this, Zhao Wenyu burst into a rage, "Zhao Wenkai, you have the audacity to say this? If it wasn’t for you hollowing out the company, how could it be reduced to an empty shell? Why should you simply walk away and continue being a big boss while we’re left to clean up your mess?"

With the company facing bankruptcy, he finally understood why Zhao Wenkai wanted to sell his shares. He wanted to confront Zhao Wenkai that day, but he couldn’t find him, and instead ran into Lin Man’s parents.

Heaven was helping him.

Originally, Zhao Wenyu planned to expose everything to take revenge on Zhao Wenkai. But, he thought it through and concluded that such a revenge would be pointless. Instead, he might as well seize the opportunity to snatch back some shares from Zhao Wenkai.

Nowadays, Zhao Wenkai’s business was thriving. The original twenty percent shares earned much more than the Zhao family’s original shares.

Even if the company goes under, he’s not frightened. With leverage over Zhao Wenkai, he’s not worried about any tricks from Zhao Wenkai.

Unfortunately, Zhao Wenyu had underestimated Zhao Wenkai. No matter how cunning he might be, Zhao Wenkai would never fall for it.

Zhao Wenkai stood up, walked in front of Zhao Wenyu, patted his shoulder slightly, and sneered, "Don’t even dream of getting twenty percent shares, not even one percent."

"Zhao Wenkai, aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell the Wang family about this?"

Zhao Wenyu tried to stand up, but he was pushed back down by Zhao Wenkai. He bent over, whispered into Zhao Wenyu’s ear so that only the two of them could hear.

"If you dare utter another word, I’ll make you as helpless as your father is, lying on a bed without being able to move. If you don’t believe me, feel free to test my abilities."

Finishing his sentence, he straightened his back, gently patted Zhao Wenyu’s shoulder, then turned, and walked away with big strides.

Zhao Wenkai savored the feeling of having everything under control. If someone threatened him, he would stop at nothing to silence them.

"..."

The terror turned Zhao Wenyu’s face white. He was frozen with fear for a moment. After he came back to his senses, he realized that Zhao Wenkai had long left, and he was drenched with cold sweat.

He had always known that his father’s accident had something to do with Zhao Wenkai, but there wasn’t any evidence until Zhao Wenkai admitted it just now.

However, Zhao Wenyu suddenly realized that even if Zhao Wenkai admitted his fault, he still couldn’t do anything to him. He believed that Zhao Wenkai wouldn’t bluster but could indeed harm him.

Without his father around and graduuating recently, Zhao Wenyu didn’t have much connections, nor the guts to confront Zhao Wenkai. He was unwilling to let such a great opportunity slip away, but indeed he didn’t dare to risk his life...

On the other side, Lin Man had dressed up carefully and waited for over two hours in the hotel. Finally, she heard a knock on the door. She ran over and opened the door, "Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Wenkai only glanced at her casually and then walked around her into the room, sitting on the sofa.

It had been more than half a month since the New Year. This was the first time Lin Man had seen Zhao Wenkai, she was a bit excited but also a little guilty. Seeing Zhao Wenkai’s heavy expression, she closed the door and approached him.

She initiated an apology, "I am sorry. I didn’t know my parents would cause a scene at the company. I have talked to them, and they won’t go there again."

Zhao Wenkai looked at her and hooked his lips into a mocking smile, "Lin Man, I warned you before. Did you take my words as wind passing by?"

His tone seemed calm, but Lin Man could feel a chilling cold. Zhao Wenkai was furious with her.

Lin Man was scared and instinctively wanted to thrust the blame onto Tong Yao, "My parents originally didn’t know, but Tong Yao told them everything. The news slipped out from Tong Yao. Even if my parents hadn’t made a scene, Tong Yao would have told Wang Chun. Tong Yao and I have always been at odds; she can’t stand to see me happy."

Zhao Wenkai’s voice turned frosty, "You think you can shirk your responsibility like this?"

Before Lin Man could reply, he continued, "Lin Man, you broke the rules of the game. Our agreement is now terminated."

Lin Man’s face turned white, "Mr. Zhao, you can’t do this. You promised you want me to bear you a child."

She had been with Zhao Wenkai for such a long time. Now she had given her body, ruined her reputation, how could Zhao Wenkai just discard her like this?

Lin Man couldn’t accept her long-held dream being shattered so abruptly, her emotions were understandably upset.

"You’re no longer qualified for it," Zhao Wenkai said, leaving no room for negotiation.

"..."

Watching Zhao Wenkai’s cold and ruthless demeanor, Lin Man realized how heartless this man could be. Although unwilling, Lin Man knew she couldn’t compete with Zhao Wenkai, she could only strive to maximize her interest.

With that thought in mind, she said, "You said before, as long as I can stir up trouble between Tong Yao and Si Chen and get them to divorce, you will give me a house."

Even if she’s discarded, getting a house wouldn’t be losing out. As a big boss, Zhao Wenkai shouldn’t go back on his word over a house.

"You still want a house?" Zhao Wenkai stood up and grabbed Lin Man’s chin, narrowing his eyes, "Lin Man, do you still not get it? Do you not realize how big a mistake you’ve made? Let me tell you something, anyone who crosses my line, the ones who can escape unscathed under my hand, are really lucky. You should be relieved that the matter hasn’t reached Achun yet, otherwise, do you think you would still be able to stand here and talk to me?"

With Zhao Wenkai clamping her chin tight, Lin Man tried to speak but couldn’t make a sound. This was the first time she felt so close to death since the Qing city earthquake.

Fear filled Lin Man’s eyes. Zhao Wenkai seemed satisfied with her expression, so he threw her down to the ground after a while, warning her,

"If you don’t want to become the next vegetative state, then you and your family better keep your mouths shut, or else there will be consequences next time..."

He didn’t finish the sentence, but his tone and gaze explained it all.

Zhao Wenkai never concealed his cruelty. His gentleness was only for Wang Chun.

With the throbbing pain on her chin, Lin Man was unable to hold back her disappointment, "Don’t you have any feelings for me?"

"Feelings?" Zhao Wenkai suddenly squat down, once again held Lin Man’s chin, looked at her, and sneered, "Lin Man, look at yourself in a mirror. Who are you to talk about feelings with me? What qualification do you have to talk about feelings with me?"

This world would never lack those who overestimate themselves who think that their little beauty could make men crazy for them.

Long ago, Zhao Wenkai had seen through Lin Man’s schemes. He just didn’t look into them.

"What... what if I am pregnant?" Holding onto the last shred of hope, Lin Man asked with difficulty.
