Chapter 439: Retreat to Advance, Winning Favor

uo Ningxi was about to speak, but he didn't expect Li Boche to suddenly jump out. If he wasn't pretending right now, he really wanted to jump up and kick Li Boche hard!Lu Zhiqin was furious, "Li! My f...Luo Ningxi came to her senses and, fearing she might give Yu Chengnan some unrealistic expectations, hurriedly said in a roundabout way, "I'm fine with Qiaoqiao by my side. You should prioritize your own matters first. I heard there's been turmoil in the Yu family recently, and you haven't been well either. I'm sure you'll have your hands full."

Yu Chengnan's eyes didn't fluctuate much, "The Yu family won't collapse, let alone collapse in the hands of a wastrel."

Just as Lu Ningxi was about to speak again, the venue manager hurried over.

"Manager Yu, Manager Luo, something's wrong!" The person in charge gasped for breath several times before regaining his voice. "Someone... someone is causing trouble on the construction site!"

Luningxi's face was full of surprise as she stood up. "Who is it Take me to see!"

Yu Chengnan's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, and he hurriedly followed.

The person in charge glanced at Yu Chengnan, then hesitated, "You'll know when you see it."

Luo Ningxi's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, following the leader's pace, but walking faster and faster.

A sense of foreboding filled his heart. Moments later, Luo Ningxi and the others arrived at the construction site where there was commotion. From afar, they saw a large crowd of workers gathered.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed worker saw Lu Ningxi and Yu Chennan walking over. They immediately shouted——

"Look everyone, that's the person in charge, and standing beside her is the heir to the Yu Group!!"

"Pay back the money, Yu Shi Group pay back the money!"

The workers, like cats that have spotted fish, rushed forward in a swarm.

Lu Ningxi's brow furrowed.

Repay

What on earth happened

Yu Chengnan as if he understood something, and disregarded his wounds. He quickly shielded Luo Ningxi behind him, "Xi Xi, be careful."

"You, Yu Shi Group, are also a big company, how can you go back on your word You even deducted the wages of us workers!"

"Before starting work, they said it would be good and give us subsidies. In the end, we got nothing!"

"All of us work hard for our money... Mr. Luo, Mr. Yu, please, just give back our welfare and subsidies..."

A cacophony of voices filled the air as everyone argued, and Luo Ningxi could only feel a throbbing pain in her temples. She had a vague idea why things had escalated to this point.

The Yu Shi Group's funding chain suddenly broke, leading to the suspension of the Nanjiao engineering project. Although the project has resumed now, some compensation subsidies in addition to worker wages have not been disbursed. Workers are probably feeling cheated.

"Please be quiet everyone, the company did have some problems before, but now they are resolved. We promise that the compensation we committed to will definitely be fulfilled."

Luo Ningxi was trying her best to maintain order at the scene. Yu Chengnan immediately contacted the company, while his cold eyes swept across the workers present. "Yu Shi is a place that values morality and law. I understand everyone's eagerness, but gathering here to make trouble won't solve the problem. I will..."

"Whoosh," Yu Chengnan was giving a speech, but in the crowd, an extremist worker had somehow gotten a bucket of paint and charged at the two men—

"You are all capitalists, and capitalists always talk sweetly but never practically. I just want the money!"

"Old Deng, don't be rash..."

Some people in the crowd wanted to advise him, but his bucket of paint had already been spilled!

At the critical moment, Yu Chengnan reflexively shielded Luo Ningxi behind him. The two of them quickly turned in a circle under the gaze of everyone present. Yu Chengnan stood with his back to those workers, "Xi Xi, be careful!"

Lo Ningxi couldn't dodge in time, her whole body being pulled into his embrace.

Wow…

The paint landed, though some of it was dodged, but a large amount still splashed onto both of them!

The scene fell silent immediately.

Especially those workers who cause trouble, their intention is still to get money and they don't really want to make things too difficult with their bosses.

Luo Ningxi reacted, quickly withdrawing from Yu Chengnan's embrace, grabbing his hands tightly, "How are you Are you alright"

"I'm fine, what about you..." Yu Chengnan lowered his head to check, worry in his eyes.

Luo Ningxi shook her head. She only had some paint on her arms and clothes, but Yu Chengnan was soaked from head to toe, covered in paint like he had rolled out of it.

A valuable suit jacket, was also damaged...

The foreman on site, seeing this, gasped and immediately ordered the security guards, "Heavens, Mr. Yu, Mr. Luo...quick, catch that troublemaking worker!"

Hearing this, the man splashed with paint dropped his paint bucket and ran, but the bodyguard was quicker. He was quickly subdued.

"What are you doing Are you trying to fight"

"Mr. Yu's suit was custom-made by hand, and Mr. Luo's clothes were also very expensive. They had already promised to solve this, why are you making a scene Don't you need to compensate" The person in charge rebuked firmly.

The man's eyes flickered evasively. Compensation He couldn't get the stipend, and in a fit of rage he splashed paint to vent his anger, but he never thought about compensation!

And to talk about bespoke suits made by hand, those are definitely worth a fortune...

"I..."

Yu Chengan's eyes flashed a trace of darkness, then he stepped forward and said, "Forget it, it's not easy for him either."ed at Yu Lan's unstable breath, his chest rising and falling with anger.Taking a deep breath, Yu Chengnan said in a low voice, "I know you're all doing this for my own good, but I really like her.
