NOVEL NEXT Chapter 169: It Was Voluntary
Chen Fang mentioned a place called "Classic Jinde Snacks."
Right, the name is just as plain and abrupt.
What's different from five or six years ago is that it used to be a single storefront, but now it had been renovated, and the space had expanded to three times its former size.
This just goes to show that the place was really making money.
Lunchtime had passed.
There were only a few scattered customers.
The three of them found a corner to sit in.
Chen Fang ordered some snacks and started eating with relish.
Fang Mei and Fang Gui couldn't stop singing their praises.
After all, Changming County was a gastronomic desert; by comparison, this was worlds apart.
During the meal.
A man and a woman walked in.
The man looked to be in his fifties, wearing glasses on his nose, giving off a scholarly vibe, like an old professor.
The woman was probably in her early twenties, dressed fashionably, and also had above-average looks—at least.
The two took seats next to Chen Fang's group.
They too ordered a couple of snacks.
Before the food arrived.
The middle-aged man said, "I've discussed this matter with you time and again. You need to make a decision. If you want the job position, you have to pay a price. It's like crossing a log bridge with a thousand troops; why should you be the one to make it across?"
"But Director Pi..."
The woman looked troubled.
She hesitated as if there were words on the tip of her tongue, yet she stopped short.
The middle-aged man continued earnestly, "Really, there's nothing to it. Relations between a man and a woman are straightforward. We're both adults. A night's sleep won't make you lose a chunk of flesh. Since it's happened, we should accept the outcome. What's the point of making a fuss? In the end, you'll lose everything, won't that be a greater loss?"
Tears welled up in the woman's eyes in an instant.
She let out a sob and said, "But my boyfriend, he..."
"Qin Yi, eh? If he knows what's good for him, there will be no trouble. But if he's looking for trouble, I won't be polite. There are plenty of good men out there. Why hang yourself on one tree?"
As the conversation continued.
The middle-aged man reached out his hand and placed it on the back of the woman's pale hand.
The moment they made contact.
The woman showed a hint of resistance.
But in the end, she was firmly grasped by the middle-aged man.
"There we go."
Seeing that the woman no longer resisted.
The middle-aged man stood up.
And sat down next to her.
His other hand landed on the woman's pale thigh and began to wander.
He continued speaking, "Don't worry, I'll take care of the job position for you."
Having said that.
He even kissed the woman's lips.
"You old pervert, I'm going to kill you."
Just as the two were getting cozy,
the door to the restaurant was suddenly flung open.
A young man came storming in, teeth clenched with anger.
He grabbed a plate from a nearby table that hadn't been cleared and hurled it.
It missed.
The plate shattered against the wall.
"Qin Yi, have you lost your mind?"
Seeing this, the woman who had just been putting on a miserable face suddenly stood up, stretched out her arms to shield the middle-aged man, and scolded loudly.
The young man named Qin Yi rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight, and raged, "Yanbing, get out of the way. Let me teach this shameless bastard a lesson. At his age, still doing these things."
"Qin Yi, have you had enough of this?"
The woman named Yanbing yelled again.
Seeing this, Director Pi, who was hiding behind the woman, also became furiously incensed and shouted, "Qin Yi, do you have the gall to hit me now? If you dare, you're asking for it. Looks like you don't want to work anymore."
"Even if I'm not working anymore, I'm going to beat you up and send you to jail, you son of a bitch!"
Having said this.
Qin Yi looked as if he was about to charge again.
Fang Mei wanted to act but was held back by Chen Fang, who whispered, "Don't rush, let's see what happens."
Only then did Fang Mei obediently sit down.
Yanbing went straight to Qin Yi and held him back, saying, "Qin Yi, stop it, I'm begging you, just let it go."
"Let it go? You were raped by him, and you just let it go? I must be hearing things, Yanbing, you're not like this."
Qin Yi asked in disbelief.
While the two were talking.
Director Pi had also hung up his phone.
As soon as Qin Yi came in, he shakily took out his phone and started to make a call.
There was another loud clang.
Four people dressed in security uniforms rushed in.
As soon as they entered,
Director Pi instantly gained confidence.
Pointing at Qin Yi he said, "Qin Yi, stop fucking mentioning rape all the time. Yanbing was willing. I am now notifying you as the head of the teaching department that you are expelled. Get the hell out of here immediately!"
Perhaps it was the final straw that completely infuriated him.
Qin Yi could no longer control himself.
He brushed past Yanbing and wanted to charge forward.
Unfortunately, the four security guards quickly restrained him.
Even so,
he still tried to kick towards Director Pi.
Unfortunately, he couldn't reach anymore.
"You're talking bullshit! How could Yanbing possibly fancy you, you bastard? You're just using your position to pressure her. I am going to sue you, I'm going to the Education Bureau to report you."
Qin Yi yelled and howled.
The Education Bureau?
Upon hearing these three words,
Chen Fang shivered in the corner.
After listening for a while,
he should have figured out the identities of these three people.
This so-called Director Pi is likely the head of the teaching department at some school.
Qin Yi and Yanbing must be teachers at this school.
And it seems that the two of them might be in a relationship.
"Sue me? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again, are you suing me?"
Qin Yi's words finally enraged Director Pi.
He walked up to Qin Yi, asking with a stern face.
Qin Yi shouted, "Yes, I am going to sue you, until your reputation is ruined."
"You're going to sue me? Do you think you can bring me down? I don't mean to look down on you, but you can't even enter the Education Bureau's door. What the fuck do you count for, yelling and ordering around in front of us?"
Having said that,
he gestured for Yanbing to come over.
He said, "You, come here!"
Yanbing walked over to Director Pi, trembling.
Then, Director Pi glared at Qin Yi viciously and said, "Watch closely, see if she's doing this willingly."
After speaking,
he reached out and put his hand inside Yanbing's collar.
Although there weren't many people eating at the time, it was still a public place, and Director Pi was outrageously arrogant.
His hand covered Yanbing's chest, then his fingers squeezed, and he clicked his tongue, saying, "Quite soft, Qin Yi, look, is Yanbing resisting?"
"Ah..."
This scene deeply pierced Qin Yi's eyes.
He became frenzied, struggling constantly, but how could one man be a match for four security guards?
"Has Yanbing given you a blowjob? She has given me one. That little mouth, that little tongue, you can't imagine how skillful. If you don't believe me, ask her, she's very talented at this."
Seeing Qin Yi's frenzied state,
Director Pi seemed even more excited.
At that moment,
Chen Fang felt as though his heart was suddenly pierced.
The image of Su Li and Zhang Wei'an having an affair flashed through his mind.
He slowly stood up and said, "One should always leave room for reconciliation to meet peacefully in the future. Pushing someone to their brink cuts off your own retreat. Thirty years on the east bank of the river and thirty years on the west, what if one day he becomes your boss?"
All the people eating were watching the commotion for amusement.
The sudden remark drew everyone's attention.
Director Pi turned around and saw a strange face.
He angrily said, "Who the fuck are you? Is it your turn to speak?"
Chen Fang sneered and said, "I'm nobody, but you're definitely an animal, a proper beast."
As he spoke,
Fang Mei and Fang Gui both burst into loud laughter.
That laughter,
was like rubbing Director Pi's face on the ground.
His teeth itched with hatred as he snarled, "If you have the guts, say it again."
Chen Fang frowned and replied, "It's strange how people always ask for unpleasant things to be repeated, but since you insist, I'll say it again, reluctantly."
He walked straight up to Director Pi.
Stretching out his hand, pointing at his face, he said, "This time listen carefully, you are an animal, an animal worse than pigs and dogs."
