Chapter 418 - Nothing to Sneeze At!

Early the next morning, Xia Lei came with Shentu Tianyin to an industrial park on the outskirts of Jingdu . The mobile phone factory was there .  

Shentu Tianyin’s strategy was to wait for the brand to mature before increasing production in accordance with increased sales, placing orders with OEM factories . Before that though, the project was going to be go-it-alone, and the quality and after-sales were going to be guaranteed too . It was easy to tell from this that she was an ambitious woman and that she had a cautious side too .  

Xia Lei thought Ahn Suhyeong would not come but he found that he was already waiting when they arrived at the factory .  

Their gazes met and intense hate burned in Ahn Suhyeong’s eyes but he smiled in the next instant . He was breezy and unconcerned and seemed to have forgiven all wrongs . He took the initiative to welcome them and greeted Xia Lei and Shentu Tianyin . “Good morning, you two . I thought you’d take longer to come; didn’t expect you here so early . ” 

Shentu Tianyin just gave him a slight nod . “Good morning to you too . ” 

She said just those words and nothing else . She knew how it was between Xia Lei and Ahn Suhyeong and she did not want to talk further with Ahn Suhyeong in case it made Xia Lei unhappy . She was now Xia Lei’s fiancee so she had to approach some matters from the angle of Xia Lei’s fiancee .  

A smart woman would not make mistakes easily .  

Xia Lei didn’t even want to greet Ahn Suhyeong . He spoke to Shentu Tianyin, “You go on and talk, Tianyin . I’ll go to the workshop and have a look at your production line . ” 

“Nn, okay,” said Shentu Tianyin . “You’re the best machinist and electrical engineer in China, so please help me out if you spot any problems . ” 

Xia Lei smiled . “No problem . ” 

A sinister smile appeared in the corners of Ahn Suhyeong’s lips as he watched Xia Lei walk off . He seemed to be hiding something and this something was helping him get his revenge more quickly .  

“Suhyeong,” said Shentu Tianyin, “Xia Lei is my fiance now . I hope you can accept this reality and behave accordingly . If you cannot, it will affect our collaboration . ” 

Ahn Suhyeong shrugged and pretended to be cool about it . “Business is business . I won’t ruin the relationship between our two families because he snatched you away . China is a huge market and I am looking very favourably upon the future of our collaboration . ” 

“It’s good that you’re thinking this way . You’re going to be taking over control of Shinyeok Group in the future, so you have to be open-minded,” said Shentu Tianyin .  

Ahn Suhyeong laughed and said, “Tianyin, you’re his now but we are still friends . Look, didn’t I greet Xia Lei first this morning? But he ignored me . He was rude but I didn’t harp on it . Isn’t it gracious of me, not bringing up his rudeness?” 

Shentu Tianyin wrinkled her brows . She did not like Ahn Suhyeong saying Xia Lei was rude but she did not want to talk about Xia Lei with him any more . “The reporters and guests are not here yet . I’ll take a look in the workshop,” she said .

“I’ll go with you . ” Ahn Suhyeong followed Shentu Tianyin to the workshop .  

Gu Kewen and Fu Mingmei followed behind the two . Two women - one was Shentu Tianyin’s assistant and the other her bodyguard - of course they had to follow Shentu Tianyin closely .  

“An engaged woman is different indeed . ” Fu Mingmei rarely spoke to Gu Kewen before but she initiated conversation today with a smile on her face . “Say, Miss Gu, is the power of love that strong?” 

“Yes . ” A trace of a smile appeared in the corners of her mouth . “Haven’t you been in love before?” 

Fu Mingmei shook her head . “No . I’m not an easy woman . ” 

She seemed to be insinuating something with her words but Gu Kewen didn’t mind . “I’m guessing that Xia Lei and Shentu Tianyin have already done it last night . Only ‘that’ is considered a proper love . ” 

“Whatever, I’m not discussing this with you anymore . ” Fu Mingmei quickened her steps .  

Gu Kewen giggled, and was right behind her .  

Just then, Ahn Suhyeong looked back at Gu Kewen, then avoided her gaze .  

In the workshop, Xia Lei did actually find a problem . He looked about, then asked loudly, “Who’s in charge here?” 

Two people walked over right after he spoke . One was a middle-aged man and the other a young man . The middle-aged man’s work badge read ‘Head of Technical Department - Park Jangheung’ . The young man’s badge read ‘Technician - Zhang Jia’ .  

It was plain to see that the middle-aged man was an employee of Shinyeok Group and the young man was just a worker on the Vientaine Group side .  

“Who are you?” Park Jangheung strode over with a face of discontent . “What are you raising your voice for?” 

This Park Jangheung was apparently able to speak fluent Chinese .  

“Are you in charge of the installation of the production line?” said Xia Lei .  

“So what if I am?” Park Jangheung was rude . “I asked who you are . Answer my question . ” 

Xia Lei did not introduce himself and just said, “I’ve found a problem . It will become a huge safety hazard if it’s not taken care of . ” 

“Hey, you punk,” sneered Park Jangheung, “How did you get in here? Where’s your work badge?” 

Xia Lei held his anger in check . “I don’t have a work badge . ” 

“Then you aren’t from our factory . Get out!” Park Jangheung pointed at the exit, acting all imperious .

The young man from Vientaine Group, on the other hand, was polite . “What problem did you find, Sir?” he asked inquisitively .  

“One of the nuts in the foundation of the conveyor belt has not been tightened . People will be hurt if the conveyor belt moves from its track when it’s running . How are you guys carrying out checks? This is a serious error . ” 

The young worker looked at the nut on belt foundation but did not see any obvious looseness in the nut . He still checked .  

“You punk! Can’t you hear me?” Park Jangheung grew more aggressive and he pushed Xia Lei, growling, “Get out!” 

Park Janheung was definitely using a lot of force since he was angry at being overlooked, but Xia Lei did not even budge .  

“Eh? Bastard!” Park Jangheung paused, then suddenly swung his hand at Xia Lei’s cheek .  

This Park Jangheung was a textbook case of someone who had a violent temper .  

But the person he was up against was Xia Lei .  

Xia Lei did not want to argue with this Korean Head of Technical Department . This was Shentu Tianyin’s company after all and nothing to do with him . However, this Park Jangheung seemed to think he was a bullying target because he had kept quiet . He was aggressive, pushed him and even tried to slap him . Need he tolerate such things? 

Park Jangheung’s hand was laughably slow in Xia Lei’s eyes and the strength behind the swing pitiful . Xia Lei reached out and grabbed him by his wrist, then pushed his hand in an anti-clockwise direction .  

“Ah!” Park Jangheung let out a cry of pain . He could not stand stably on his two feet and started to fall in the direction of the push . But Xia Lei held on to his wrist and did not let him fall .  

“I’ll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents,” said Xia Lei . He swung his hand and a slap rang across Park Jangheung’s face .  

Smack! Park Jangheung’s face swelled like he had been hit by a heavy punch . The skin on his face swelled where he had been hit, and his lip had been split too; blood and spit flew from his mouth .  

Before Park Jangheung could cry out, Xia Lei abruptly let got of his wrist and gave him a slap on his other cheek . This next slap almost made his teeth fall out! 

Xia Lei did not hit him a third time . Two slaps were enough . There was no meaning in beating up a Korean Department Head .  

“Y, You…” Park Jangheung was livid but he did not dare to charge at Xia Lei again .  

Just then, several people came rushing from the direction Park Jangheung had come from, holding metal pipes and wrenches or other tools in their hands; they were aggressive .  

Park Jangheung seemed to gain courage at the sight of these people . “H, He hit me!” 

“Fucker! You dare hurt one of us Koreans!” scolded a young man in Korean . He did not waste time saying more and swung the metal pipe in his hand at Xia Lei’s head immediately .  

These people seemed to be Koreans and were quite united .  

But it was useless - Xia Lei grabbed the incoming metal pipe and let loose with a kick . The ‘enemy’ young man flew upwards, then landed heavily on the ground, groaning . He did not get up even after some time had passed .  

The Koreans paused, then came charging at Xia Lei together .  

“Stop!” Shentu Tianyin’s voice came from beyond the workshop door .  

But the Koreans only spared her a glance and did not listen to her words at all . They paused for a bit, then swung their metal pipes, helpers and hoes and so on at Xia Lei’s dead .  

“Stop!” Ahn Suhyeong spoke .  

The Koreans stopped this time, and looked fiercely at Xia Lei .  

The expression on Shentu Tianyin’s face was ugly . Her words had no effect but Ahn Suhyeong’s did . It was apparent that these Koreans did not respect her as a chairwoman .  

“What’s going on?” Ahn Suhyeong put on a show of anger, berating the Koreans from Shinyeok Group . “Do you know who he is? He is Tianyin’s fiance!” 

The Koreans did not look surprised; the corners of their mouths turned down in distaste .  

Shentu Tianyin spoke coldly, “What is going on here? Ahn Suhyeong, give me an explanation!” 

Ahn Suhyeong shrugged . “It must be some sort of misunderstanding . Mr Xia doesn’t have a work badge on him after all . By right, he should not be allowed to enter . My people must have tried to enforce this rule and this resulted in a conflict . It’s all right - this is just a misunderstanding . ” 

He was obviously siding with the Koreans .  

Shentu Tianyin made to speak again but Xia Lei patted her on her shoulder . “You said to help you solve some problems, so let me do it . This is a serious problem . Some people don’t know what place they’re in and what their status is . ” 

Ahn Suhyeong wrinkled his brows . He felt like this was aimed at him, hinting something to him! 

Xia Lei moved as soon as he finished his sentence . He shot forward like a cannonball, going straight at those Koreans .  

A Korean youth on Xia Lei’s trajectory had no time to react; Xia Lei’s feet were on his chest almost at once . There was a dull thud and he was sent flying into the air before landing heavily on the ground .  

Xia Lei landed on both feet and let a punch fly at a Korean man who was just beginning to dodge . The fight was on .  

Ten seconds later, Xia Lei put his fists and legs down . Several Koreans were lying about on the ground around him, moaning . Their faces had been beaten out of shape . They were a tragic sight .
