The Graceful and Stunning Boss's Wife

Chapter 338: Scheming in the Shadows


"Two million, not a penny more, not a penny less. My leg hurts so much now, I might not be able to work for the rest of my life. Asking you for two million isn't too much!"

The middle-aged female worker snorted coldly, looking uninterested in dealing with Su Ming, seemingly very disdainful of him.

"Ma'am, this isn't right, is it? Didn't you say earlier that we could talk about it? You can't just scam us like this!"

Yang Chang furrowed his brows as he spoke, feeling that these two people were truly unreasonable.

Even the workers next door were unreasonable, all siding with these two women, leaving no place for logic.

The two middle-aged women stopped speaking and directly lay in the pit, wailing.

"We're not getting up, not getting up. This is violent construction, and we'll sue you until you're bankrupt."

"Exactly, we're the victims. You must compensate us for our losses, or we won't get up."

Su Ming: "..."

Su Ming was speechless, truly unreasonable middle-aged women.

"Alright, you want compensation, right? Then I'll compensate you!"

"You're not lying?"

The middle-aged woman's expression hesitated for a moment, feeling as if she were dreaming.

Their demand was no small sum, two million, which would surely cause even a big boss to feel the pinch.

They had been making trouble without expecting to get the two million at all.

But now that Su Ming agreed, it left them feeling unbelievable.

Su Ming smiled slightly and said calmly, "I have no reason to lie to you."

"When will you give us the money?"

The two women exchanged a glance, feeling a bit incredulous.

"If you want the money, you'll have to come with us, right? After all, it's two million. I need to withdraw the cash from the bank for you, don't I?"

Su Ming spoke calmly, and the two female workers nodded in disbelief, quickly trying to get up.

Because they were too excited, the two couldn't even stand steadily, helping each other up.

Seeing this, Yang Chang was a bit surprised: "Ming, what's going on? You're not really going to give them two million, are you?"

"Our project doesn't even make that much. If things don't work out, we just pay the penalty fee; we can't give them two million!"

Yang Chang couldn't help but say, "Instead of giving these two women two million, it's better to compensate the client's penalty fee."

"What are you afraid of? My money isn't that easy to take. Once these two leave with me, continue the construction, and also, have someone investigate the construction company behind them."

Su Ming said sternly, and only then did Yang Chang understand that Su Ming was using a strategy to lure them away from their stronghold.

He first got the two jabbering women to leave, allowing Yang Chang and the others to continue working.

As for the people behind them, it would be easy to extract information from these two women.

The two women followed Su Ming away, and the rest of the construction personnel continued working.

Su Ming picked up his phone and made a call to Yuan Feipeng. Yuan Feipeng agreed and rushed towards Su Ming's location.

Su Ming took the two female workers to a restaurant, a high-end one, where a normal meal for one would cost at least several thousand.

When had these two female workers ever been to a restaurant like this?

Seeing Su Ming actually bring them here to dine made them feel incredibly flattered.

Very soon, various dishes were brought over, dazzling the two female workers and making them drool.

Not long after, Yuan Feipeng arrived at Su Ming's restaurant, carrying a large briefcase in his hand.

Seeing the briefcase, the eyes of the two workers lit up.

Although they had never seen two million in cash, they'd seen it on TV. Such a big black case must be filled with cash.

"So, who instructed you?"

Su Ming suddenly asked, and the two female workers were momentarily stunned, looking at each other and shaking their heads.

"Boss Su, what are you saying? No one instructed us. It's the fault of your worker; how could anyone be directing us?"

The older female worker couldn't help but retort, and Su Ming nodded slightly at her words.

"Here is two million, but I'll only give it to the one who tells the truth, but it seems none of you are willing to speak honestly?"

As Su Ming spoke, he gestured to Yuan Feipeng, who immediately understood and prepared to leave with the briefcase.

The older female worker hesitated, struggling over what to say.

The slightly younger one beside her quickly stood up: "I know, I know! Don't go, I want two million!"

With the younger female worker's declaration, the other one also anxiously chimed in: "I know too! Don't give it to her, I want two million!"

"It was our boss who instructed us to do this. Said the best outcome would be to get into a conflict with you, and then they'd have a way to deal with your company!"

"Who is your boss?"

"We don't know; we've never met our big boss. We just do the job for money!"

The two female workers hurried to spill the beans, terrified they'd miss out on the two million promised by Su Ming.

Su Ming looked towards Yuan Feipeng behind him, and Yuan Feipeng brought out the gathered information on the construction company.

This construction company is called Longhai Construction Company. Though not large in scale, their investor has a significant background.

"Wendong Group from the Provincial City! Oh, so I know who it is now."

Based on Yuan Feipeng's findings, Su Ming quickly deduced who was behind the sabotage!

Originally, Su Ming thought it was Zhang Biao trying to steal business, but unexpectedly, it was actually Lao Qiming.

This guy's tricky tactics are indeed hard to detect. Most would think they ran into some troublemakers causing a fuss.

Yet, despite hiding in the shadows, Lao Qiming's actions still left traces that Su Ming picked up on.

"Boss, I was the first to speak up! You can pay me the two million now, right?"

"No, no! I was the first to speak up! Boss Su, this money should be mine!"

The two workers frantically argued. Hearing this, Su Ming merely smiled faintly.

Yuan Feipeng opened his briefcase, revealing a box full of tissue and a voice recorder lying silently inside.

"Everything you said has been recorded. You dare to extort and blackmail? You won't need to work on your project anymore. Get ready for holding jail!"

Yuan Feipeng barked coldly, and the two female workers were instantaneously stunned, collapsing to the ground.

They never expected to be outsmarted by this young man, Su Ming, and to be quarreling over a box of tissues.

Not only would their boss no longer employ them, but their future employment prospects were likely ruined!
