Lu Ming was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected his good deed to result in such a situation.
He explained, "A few years ago, Qi Rui Bank was short on funds, and they did borrow money from me..."
"Enough!" Jiang Mengxin rebuked, "Look in the mirror, you are a grave keeper, too poor to even afford decent clothes, and you have the audacity to say the bank manager borrowed money from you? Borrowing spirit money? Lu Ming, being poor is not scary, but being poor and lacking ambition is!"
"Being engaged to a man like you is the greatest shame of my life, Jiang Mengxin."
Jiang Mengxin put away the documents and got up to leave.
Jiang Xueyi asked, "Daughter, where are you going?"
Jiang Mengxin replied, "I'm going to find my senior, Cheng Hai, and see if he can lend me some money. I can't possibly borrow spirit money from this grave keeper to pay off debts, can I?"
After she left, Jiang Xueyi said awkwardly to Lu Ming, "Xiao Ming, think before you speak next time. Don't be so careless with your words. Alright, it's getting late, you should rest."
Lu Ming was helpless.
Xu Qin suddenly yelled, "Rest? Who allowed him to stay?"
Jiang Xueyi paused, "It's dark now, and Xiao Ming has no place to live. You can't send him to a hotel, can you? Besides, he is our son-in-law, and he'll have to live together in the future."
"Heh, as if!" Xu Qin said, "Our family doesn't keep trash."
"Then where do you want Xiao Ming to live?"
Xu Qin narrowed her eyes, sneered, and said, "The company has staff dormitories, let him sleep there. And arrange some work for him, let him contribute to the company, so he doesn't eat and live for free."
Helplessly, Jiang Xueyi had the butler drive Lu Ming to the company to stay.
Before leaving, Xu Qin whispered a few words into the butler's ear, and the butler nodded repeatedly.
After the butler drove Lu Ming away, Xu Qin let out a cold laugh and muttered to herself, "When we get to the company, you'll have your hands full! If you can't take it and run away, don't blame my daughter."
...
Night, Jiang Enterprises.
The butler led Lu Ming to the security room, where burly men were lying around haphazardly.
The security captain, Zhao Donglai, was particularly massive, standing at 1.9 meters tall with muscles all over his body. He was known as the "living Yama" of Jiang Enterprises.
The butler coughed and said, "Captain Zhao, this is Mr. Lu Ming, the fiancé of President Jiang. Please take good care of him."
Zhao Donglai smirked, "Naturally."
On the way, the butler had privately called Zhao Donglai, explaining the situation and instructing him to teach Lu Ming a lesson and force him to leave.
So, there was no need for further explanation; Zhao Donglai understood everything.
The butler said to Lu Ming, "Mr. Lu, I'll be going back now."
With that, he hurried away.
Lu Ming walked into the security room, feeling like a lamb entering a tiger's den. The security guards stared at him with eyes that seemed to glow green, as if they wanted to tear him apart.
The butler secretly returned, hiding outside the door, and muttered to himself, "Bum, a toad trying to eat swan meat, and wanting to marry our President Jiang. I'll make sure he can't survive!"
Zhao Donglai glanced at Lu Ming and said, "Our Jiang Enterprises has many rules. You're new here and don't know much, so I'll teach you a lesson first."
Lu Ming smiled slightly, "I'm all ears."
Zhao Donglai casually took off his sock and threw it on the ground, laughing, "The first lesson is to understand hierarchy. Here, I am the boss, and you must obey me! Come, kneel and crawl between my legs, then stand against the wall with my sock in your mouth. Did you hear me?"
The other security guards watched Lu Ming with amusement.
Lu Ming laughed instead of getting angry, "These rules don't seem appropriate."
Zhao Donglai snapped his fingers, and the other security guards stood up, holding various weapons, glaring menacingly at Lu Ming.
Zhao Donglai threatened, "Whether it's appropriate or not, I decide. I'm telling you, you have to do it today, whether you want to or not. If you cooperate, you'll suffer less physical injury."
Lu Ming smiled, "Then I'd like to see how you're going to injure me?"
Zhao Donglai frowned, "Heh, you said it yourself. I've never seen such a request in my life. What are you guys waiting for, get him!"
Seven or eight security guards rushed forward. Some grabbed Lu Ming's arms, others swung iron bars at his legs, and some smashed beer bottles at his head.
For an ordinary person, they would have been taken down in an instant.
But to everyone's surprise, before the security guards could get close to Lu Ming, they were all sent flying by a tremendous force.
Seven or eight security guards were thrown out simultaneously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Tables and chairs in the room were smashed, and the security guards lay on the ground, howling in pain.
In the blink of an eye, all seven or eight security guards were dealt with. Lu Ming's movements were too fast for their eyes to follow!
Zhao Donglai was dumbfounded, standing frozen and trembling.
He knew that his subordinates were strong and experienced fighters, but in front of Lu Ming, they were as weak as chicks.
Lu Ming seemed incredibly large in Zhao Donglai's eyes now. He could only describe Lu Ming with two words: monster!
Lu Ming stretched his wrists, "Is that all?"
He turned to look at Zhao Donglai. The moment their eyes met, Zhao Donglai felt his legs go weak and he promptly knelt on the ground.
His previous ferocity was replaced by utter cowardice.
Lu Ming lightly placed a hand on Zhao Donglai's shoulder. This simple action was enough to make Zhao Donglai tremble and break out in a cold sweat.
Lu Ming calmly said, "Your rules, are they not appropriate?"
Zhao Donglai nodded repeatedly, "Not appropriate, they are indeed not appropriate."
"Will you change them?"
"Yes!"
"How?"
"Here, Mr. Lu is the greatest. All rules are set by Mr. Lu. Whatever Mr. Lu says goes!"
Lu Ming nodded, "Alright, then my first rule is that I don't like to be disturbed when I sleep. I need to rest, so you all go out."
"Yes!!!"
Zhao Donglai scurried away like a dog with its tail between its legs, followed by the others who crawled and rolled out of the large door, carefully closing it behind them.
After clearing out the messy individuals, Lu Ming found an empty bed and sat down. He took a deep breath and murmured, "This job for the Jiang family is really not easy."
At the same time.
The butler had already slipped away and called Xu Qin.
Xu Qin was lying on the sofa watching TV. She lazily picked up the phone and asked, "How is it, did that bum run away with his tail between his legs?"
The butler panted and said, "No, something happened!"
Xu Qin's expression stiffened, "Something happened? What, did someone get killed? What are you doing?! I just asked you to teach him a lesson, scare him, and get him to leave. Why did you beat him to death? Zhao Donglai too, doesn't he know his own strength? How could Lu Ming's thin body withstand his beating?"
The butler shook his head repeatedly, "It wasn't that Lu Ming was beaten to death, but that all the security guards were dealt with by Lu Ming. Zhao Donglai and the others were all thrown out by Lu Ming!"
"What?!" Xu Qin exclaimed, jumping up from the sofa.
