Chen Yong looked at Shen Dongshan, then at the table full of dishes, feeling both puzzled and flattered.

Shen Dongshan was the vice president of Dan Feng Group, wielding great power and authority, and was a real big shot!

Moreover, Shen Dongshan had many elders of the Shen family as his backers. In Dan Feng Group, he was on equal footing with Shen Bing.

To put it bluntly, he was the boss behind the scenes in Dan Feng Group, with his eyes and hands controlling power in every department. Even if Shen Bing gave orders, he could disobey them and take credit for himself, and Shen Bing would have no way to deal with him.

Now such a god-like figure was standing in front of him, inviting him alone to dinner.

It was a special feeling.

At this moment, Shen Dongshan was tasting a glass of red wine, and when he saw Chen Yong walk in, his expression was calm. He pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Please sit."

Chen Yong sat down, looking at Shen Dongshan with some confusion.

What did Shen Dongshan want from him?

Before, Shen Dongshan only invited He Xingdong to dinner, not even looking at him, a small security guard.

Now that Shen Dongshan suddenly approached him, Chen Yong was uneasy and felt that it was unlikely to be anything good.

"Just got off work and must be hungry, let's eat first, and we'll talk about business after dinner," Shen Dongshan said calmly.

As he spoke, he cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth.

Eat first and then talk business?

Chen Yong furrowed his brows slightly.

What business could he, a small security guard, have with Shen Dongshan?

However, looking at the table full of dishes, many of which he had never seen before, he didn't have much time to think and picked up his chopsticks, wolfing down the food.

About thirty minutes later, the two were full and had finished their drinks.

Shen Dongshan wiped his mouth like a gentleman, his gaze suddenly becoming extremely cold, staring at Chen Yong and saying, "Let's talk business now. Chen Yong, Minister He treats you well, right?"

His words were light, but extremely chilling, his eyes like sharp knives.

Chen Yong felt his scalp tingle under the stare of the man, and he was filled with fear and anxiety inside. However, on the surface, he still tried to appear calm and hastily said, "Minister He has been very good to me, and I am very grateful."

"Are you really grateful?"

"Yes, really!"

"Then, can you swear to it?"

"I, Chen Yong, swear to the heavens that I have always been grateful to Minister He and will remain loyal. If I ever betray my conscience, I will die in a car accident."

Forced by the intense pressure from Shen Dongshan, Chen Yong had no choice but to swear to the heavens.

There was no way out; Shen Dongshan's oppression was too strong, especially his eyes, which made Chen Yong feel fearful and uneasy. Chen Yong felt that Shen Dongshan might have come to seek revenge on him for He Xingdong's matter.

If his answer was incorrect, he might not be able to leave the room today.

Being as shrewd as he was, he could only express his loyalty to He Xingdong at the first opportunity.

Shen Dongshan sneered and said, "If you are so loyal to Minister He, why did you surrender to Wang Chao first after Minister He fell from power?"

"Don't you think that is a betrayal to Minister He?"

"If Minister He has been so good to you, and you choose to betray him, then you are not loyal."

"And your Minister He is my nephew. If you betray him, it is equivalent to betraying me."

Pausing for a moment, he stared at Chen Yong, his eyes flashing with killing intent, and said in a deliberate manner, "Do you know the fate of those who betray me?"

After speaking, he picked up a roasted pigeon and directly broke its head.

Chen Yong was frightened by this scene, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Indeed, Shen Dongshan came for He Xingdong's matter. Inviting him to dinner was not a good thing; it was a trap!

Faced with Shen Dongshan's sharp gaze, Chen Yong was even more anxious, but he remained loyal on the surface and hastily said, "President Shen, you are completely misunderstanding me."

"The reason I expressed loyalty to Wang Chao was to infiltrate the organization and always keep control of his information. This was so that I could tell you and Minister He and prepare for Minister He's return!"

"Oh? So, you sided with Wang Chao for Minister He? Do you think I will believe that?" Shen Dongshan sneered.

"President Shen, my loyalty to you and Minister He is well-known to all." Chen Yong knelt down with a thump, his eyes full of fear, and said, "I, Chen Yong, swear to the heavens that I have never betrayed Minister He. I will always be Minister He's and your most loyal subordinate, willing to do anything for you, even if it means going through fire and water and being willing to face any difficulties!" 

He realized that Shen Dongshan had murderous intent towards him.

The look just now was terrifying, it made his soul tremble.

At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else, he just wanted to survive!

Shen Dongshan poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and sneered, "My loyal subordinate? Heh, you're not even worthy of that!"

"In mine and He Xingdong's eyes, you're just a dog!"

"Your loyalty has been compromised, and logically, you should pay the price. But, I'll give you one last chance to prove your loyalty, by helping me with something."

"If you do it well, I'll spare your life and promise you money and power."

"But if you fail, I guarantee you'll regret living in this world."

The cold tone was full of authority and threats.

Chen Yong's face was frightened as he trembled and said, "President Shen, even if you ask me to do a hundred things, I'll definitely do it."

Shen Dongshan glanced at Chen Yong, then took out a small glass bottle containing white pills and placed it in front of Chen Yong, coldly saying, "This is also a simple task. You just need to grind this into powder and find a way to make Wang Chao eat it."

Then he took out a bank card and placed it in front of Chen Yong. "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. There's also a million yuan here. After you complete this task, Wang Chao's position will be yours, and this million is also yours."

"If you can't do it well, the fate of that roasted pigeon with a broken neck will be yours!"

He used both punishment and reward, first hitting Chen Yong and then giving him a little benefit, promising Chen Yong a bright and beautiful future.

This way, he could completely control Chen Yong.

This is his usual way of controlling his subordinates!

Chen Yong looked at the bank card and pills in front of him, his expression extremely ugly.

Is Shen Dongshan forcing him to kill Wang Chao?

Tick-tock, tick-tock...

Sweat beads as big as beans fell to the ground.

Chen Yong looked at the pills and bank card in front of him, his eyes conflicted, not knowing how to choose for a moment.

He wanted money, but he didn't want to kill anyone.

If caught, he would spend the rest of his life in jail.

Shen Dongshan looked at the hesitant Chen Yong with a calm expression and said, "Chen Yong, if I remember correctly, your son is studying at Shu Ren Middle School, right? As long as you help me with this, I promise to let your son attend the best private school."

"And, don't worry, even if you fail, I'll still protect you and won't let you go to jail."

Chen Yong was very clever and immediately sensed the threat in his words.

The implicit meaning was, if you don't help me, I'll kill your son!

Chen Yong clenched his teeth, picked up the pill and bank card solemnly, and said, "Okay, I'll do it!" 

Shen Dongshan smiled when he heard this and said, "After you've done it, I'll secretly tell you the bank card information." 

"Let's toast to our cooperation. Once it's done, we'll be brothers," he said, raising his glass and clinking it with Chen Yong's, then drinking it. 

"Thank you, President Shen, for your kindness. I will not disappoint you and will kill Wang Chao!" Chen Yong smiled and flattered, drinking and speaking flattering words. 

He was good at flattering and made Shen Dongshan laugh heartily. 

Shen Dongshan stood up with a smile on his face, patted Chen Yong on the shoulder and said, "I've already paid, enjoy yourself." 

"I believe in you, keep it up." 

After he left, Chen Yong took out the pill and bank card, looking serious. 

If he killed Wang Chao and the truth was revealed, based on his understanding of Shen Dongshan, he would not protect him! 

If he didn't kill Wang Chao, he would offend Shen Dongshan and his family would be ruined forever. 

Either way, both paths in front of him were dead ends! 

"Damn it!" Chen Yong clenched his teeth and punched the table, furious and helpless. 

Neither Wang Chao nor Shen Dongshan were people he could offend. 

Caught in between them was the most difficult situation. 

When Wang Chao returned home and parked his car, he noticed that everyone was there, with a table full of delicious food and wine. 

It was already six in the evening, and Wang Anguo, Li Han, Wang Baozhu, Wang Baoqi, and others were all waiting at the dining table. 

"Why isn't anyone eating?" Wang Chao was taken aback. 

"We're waiting for you to come back to eat," Wang Anguo said. 

"Mom, Uncle is back. Can we eat now?" Huang Ying screamed excitedly when she saw Wang Chao, then looked at Wang Baozhu with a pleading look. 

"Not yet. We have to wait for Uncle to eat," Wang Baozhu said. 

"Sis, why do you have to be like this? Huang Ying is hungry. Let her eat first," Wang Chao frowned. 

"How can we do that? Wang Chao, you got a promotion today. We have to wait for you to come back and celebrate," Wang Baozhu said. 

"How did you know?" Wang Chao was surprised.

"Did you forget? Uncle Wang Hongyao is in the same department as you. He came back from work quickly and told me about this matter as soon as possible."

Wang Anguo laughed heartily, pulled Wang Chao over and sat him down at the dining table with a flushed face. He said, "Wang Chao, you have made your father very proud. In just a few days, you have been promoted from deputy minister to minister and become a leader in the company."

"Dad is very happy today, you must have a drink with me."

He opened a bottle of Maotai, excitedly poured a glass for Wang Chao, as well as for himself, and clinked glasses with Wang Chao before drinking it all.

"Brother, let me also raise a glass to you." Wang Baoyu smiled.

"Brother, I wish you all the best in the future." Wang Baoqi replaced the wine with cola.

"Brother, you are our role model."

Wang Bin and Wang Cheng also laughed heartily, picked up orange juice, and raised a glass to Wang Chao.

"You guys want to get your brother drunk." Li Han said with a smile.

"Of course, it's a big happy event today, and we want to drink happily." Wang Anguo laughed heartily.

Wang Baozhu pushed Huang Ying.

Huang Ying immediately stood up, holding a glass of Sprite, blinking her big eyes and said to Wang Chao, "Uncle, congratulations on your promotion and wealth. I also raise a glass to you."

"Hahaha, okay, okay."

Wang Chao stroked Huang Ying's head and laughed, "Then I will drink with you all today. Cheers!"

The atmosphere was lively and joyful with toasting and laughter.

Everyone in the family was sincerely happy for Wang Chao, and the atmosphere was cheerful.

After about ten minutes, Wang Anguo became red-faced and excited from drinking, saying, "You guys eat first, I'll go talk to the neighbor next door."

After that, he walked out with a flushed face and shouted to everyone he met, "Uncle Li, my son has made it, he is now a minister."

"Haha, Liu Hai, my son is back, and he is now the head of the security department of Danfeng Group."

"Peng Yi, let me tell you, my son is really impressive now."

People are happy when something good happens!

Before Wang Anguo was a useless commoner who suffered from bullying, always fantasizing about achieving success one day but never able to do so, struggling at the bottom.

Now that his son has returned and led the family to become wealthy, and even became the head of the security department of Danfeng Group, Wang Anguo was overjoyed and proud.

He praised his son to everyone he met, as if he himself had become the head of the security department, full of pride and arrogance.

"Congratulations!"

"Hahaha, Anguo, your son is very impressive, you will enjoy your life in the future."

"Anguo, your son has a bright future, and that cannot be separated from your education. You are also amazing. Congratulations!"

Many neighbors heard Wang Anguo's words and all showed happy expressions, constantly praising him.

Hearing the praise from those people, Wang Anguo felt a sense of satisfaction and happiness.

"This old man always likes to show off." Li Han laughed and scolded.

"Mom, let Dad go. He has been frustrated for half his life, and he should feel proud now." Wang Chao laughed.

As a father's pride, it made the honest and straightforward father so happy to show off outside. Wang Chao felt it was good.

Li Han looked at Wang Anguo's proud appearance and complained, "Feeling proud is nothing. Even the son of the clan leader of our Wang family did not celebrate as much when he got into Tsinghua University. And also, our second uncle's son is now a high-level executive abroad, earning a monthly salary of 100,000 US dollars, but they didn't celebrate like this."

"Your dad is making a big deal out of nothing, as if you have become a big leader."

"Mom, my brother has achieved something, it's normal for Dad to feel happy." Wang Baoqi said.

"Yes, Mom, you should also be happy." Wang Cheng and Wang Bin also laughed.

Li Han also laughed, picked up a glass of wine, "Wang Chao, you are indeed your mother's pride. This glass, I toast to you."

After speaking, she drank it all at once, coughing from the spiciness, and commented, "This wine is so spicy, I really don't know how your dad can drink it."

Wang Cheng immediately poured Li Han a glass of water.

That night, the Wang family was happy and after Wang Anguo boasted to the neighbors, he returned home and continued to drink heavily, getting very drunk.

Wang Chao was also a little tipsy.

After the family celebrated, Wang Chao looked at the time, it was already 7 o'clock.

He picked up five spirit stones and a carving knife, put them in his pocket, and then walked slowly towards the barbecue stand near the middle school.

Tonight, he and Song Henian were going to treat Yang Mi to dinner. To be honest, he hadn't seen this beautiful classmate for a long time, and now that she was a big star, he was also looking forward to meeting her.
