Chapter 310: The Cancer That Likes to Toss About (Part one)
On the way back home, Xu Cheng saw Lin Chuxue not saying anything, so he spoke, “You are not going to ask what happened in there?”
Lin Chuxue shook his head. “You have your reasons for doing what you did. I know that you won’t do anything that will hurt me, and that’s enough. As for the other things, I don’t need to know. However, just remember, half of your life belongs to me, so you don’t have the right to risk your life and leave me first. You got it?”
Then, Lin Chuxue looked at Xu Cheng solemnly and said, “I know your background isn’t simple, and I also know what you will have to face in the future. So, I won’t ask anything from you, I just need you to be safe, got it?”
Xu Cheng looked back at Lin Chuxue, a bit touched. He nodded and replied, “Okay.”
When they got home, just as they walked in the door, they could hear Lin Guiren scolding someone, “I told you, Benjamin, nothing you say will change my mind. Alright, I won’t argue with you about this anymore. Just leave my house now.”
Then, they saw Benjamin immediately getting up from the sofa, a bit angry and annoyed, “Brother-in-Law, let my sis come out and let me talk to her.”
Lin Guiren: “No need, Benjamin, right now the company is officially undergoing restructuring. All relatives will leave the company. This is non-negotiable.”
Lin Chuxue saw Benjamin and called, “Uncle?”
Benjamin immediately smiled when he saw Lin Chuxue. “Oh, Chuxue’s here! Come and try to talk to your dad, I’ve been doing well at my job yet I was suddenly asked to leave the company. Why? He did have a fall out with my dad, but I wasn’t involved, right? So why drag me into this?”
Lin Guiren’s face became darker. “Don’t drag my kids into this. Let me tell you, you, Benjamin, you must leave! Because the biggest cancer is you!”
Benjamin’s face changed upon hearing this. “Lin Guiren, what do you mean by this?”
Lin Guiren: “You know very well what I mean. In the past, I let you into the purchasing department because you are my brother-in-law, but look at what you did over the past years! How much rebate did you take in?!”
He said as he picked up the pile of bills and threw it onto Benjamin, “Look at the budget you asked the company to give you every year, and look at the quality of raw materials you purchased! However, you never reported to me about the decline in quality, and ultimately, the company’s product quality had also been plummeting. I can already barely overlook this, but I can understand that you are not skilled. However, I definitely can’t forgive you for taking 10 million euros to help outsiders stink up our company’s reputation!”
Benjamin’s face immediately flashed a hint of awkwardness. “Please give me another chance!”
Lin Guiren: “Benjamin, I know that my father-in-law took away all the shares and you and your other sisters couldn’t get much, but that’s none of my business. You can go to him yourself to ask for money, but my company really won’t be able to take you in anymore. You can go and try your luck at other companies.”
Benjamin was furious. “This is not fair, Brother-in-Law! Originally, everyone had a share of the company, and everyone contributed to the success of the company. You can’t just ditch us after you received the funds. This is unethical!”
Lin Guiren: “Do I need you to teach me? The amount of money that went into your pocket unethically over the years is enough for you to retire. You shouldn’t push your luck. I can swear on my family’s life that I’ve never treated my wife’s side of the family unfairly, yet I did give you guys more than enough power to one day throw me under the bus! Don’t think that I don’t know about how your old man was instigated by others to help drag this company down, and then he would be able to collude with the other bosses to swallow this company’s shares and make it not named after my last name Lin anymore!”
Benjamin: “That has nothing to do with me!”

At that moment, Mommy Lin finally came out. Seeing her little brother like this, her teeth trembled and her body shivered out of anger as she gritted her teeth and said, “Get out!”
Benjamin became furious out of embarrassment and said, “I’ve been doing all the raw-material purchasing work by myself over the years. If I’m gone, who can you guys trust? Will you let huge sums of money go into other people’s pockets? We must not let outsiders do this job.”
Lin Lei sneered. “In comparison to outsiders, you are more unscrupulous when it comes to putting money into your own pocket!”
Benjamin: “Are you even qualified to talk about this?”
Xu Cheng was getting a bit impatient. “As the new shareholder, I hereby fire you. There’s no point for you to beg anyone. You can leave now.”
Benjamin was stunned, and he was at a loss for words for a brief moment. He knew that Xu Cheng took out 3.3 billion and saved the company, so he knew this guy had the loudest voice in the company right now and he was almost choked by his words.
“Just you wait, the company will take at least a few years to teach a person to know how to identify good raw materials from the bad. After losing my talent, I will watch how you guys can survive this period. If you are only paying high prices for finished jade and then making it into jewelry, there will be barely any room for markup. An unhealthy margin still won’t be able to save the company.”
“That wouldn’t be your concern. Your position will be taken by me.” At this moment, Xu Cheng said, “I will purchase the materials out of Asia for the company, and by then, I will just leave it to Lei for the transportation.”
“You?” Benjamin laughed in disdain. “Xu Cheng, now that you have money, I can’t lecture you much. But when it comes to identifying raw material, you really are a bit too naive. It’s not as simple as you think, and in this field, you really aren’t qualified to take my place.”
Xu Cheng smiled. “Can you not understand English? You can get the fack out now.”
“You!” Benjamin snorted. “Over the years, even if I didn’t have outstanding achievements, I still contributed hard work. If you want to kick me out of the company, that’s fine too. 100 million euros!”
Lin Guiren: “In you dream!”
Mommy Lin: “Benjamin, don’t be too shameless.”
Benjamin immediately sat down onto the sofa. “Either give me the shares, or give me the money. Or else, I’m just going to stay here.”
Xu Cheng: “Now I finally have a chance to witness how shameless you people are. A bunch of moles and cancer. It would be an overstatement to say that you guys actually did something for the company, and it’s no wonder that the company had been doing worse and worse each year. It would only be strange if the company doesn’t go bankrupt when it has cancer and moles like you guys.”
“Who you calling cancer and moles?!” Benjamin immediately shot up from his seat.
Xu Cheng: “You, of course. Identifying raw materials, right? Just prove to me then. Prove to me how brilliant your ability is, and if you can prove it to me, then I will allow you to stay.”
Benjamin’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
Xu Cheng nodded. “Yes. If you want to play this game, I will play with you. But if you lose, just leave the Lin Family forever, and get the fack away as far as possible. If you can’t promise this, then you might as well admit that you are a useless coward and leave right now.”
Benjamin sneered out loud. “Alright. Let’s just play with the rawest material that hasn’t been processed at all, how about that? Brother-in-Law, in your storage, there’s a batch of raw materials that came in this month. Let’s just compete to see who’s more skilled and can pick out rocks of greater value. We will each pick 3, how about that? If you dare to play, then let’s head over to the storage room right now!”
