A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1429 A Most Terrible Grievance

"Brother Fan.Js it really you? You're finally back!" The giant towering at 1.8 meters burst out into tears at the sight of Ye Fan. It was as if he had seen a dearest friend come back from the dead.

No one could understand the depth of sorrow and grievance hidden behind the mere utterance of Ye Fan's name.

Ye Fan was visibly touched by Shin Yu-Xiang's emotional outburst.

He hugged the man. "Yes, Yu-Xiang. It's me. I'm back. What happened to you? Why are you cleaning toilets?"

After their emotional reunion, the other man wiped his tears, then shook his head and sighed heavily.

"Brother Fan, it's a long story. Let's not talk about it. I'm just happy that I got to see you again," murmured the man, his words heavy with loss and gloom.

"Come on, tell me. What happened? I personally promoted you to the position of general manager of the Fenghai division before I left. Your position was second to that of my mother's. How did you manage to end up as a janitor? I can't believe you didn't quit!"

Ye Fan and Shin Yu-Xiang had returned to the office.

Ye Fan sat on the couch with a solemn look on his face as he questioned Shin Yu-Xiang about what had happened to him.

A general manager had been demoted to a janitor and assigned the duties of cleaning the toilets. Something must have happened.

"Brother Fan, I..." Shin Yu-Xiang seemed like he had something to say, but he stopped himself in the end. "Forget it, Brother Fan. I won't let you get into a fight with your family because of me. I'm just an outsider, after all. Let bygones be bygones. I didn't quit because I was waiting for you to return. You're the one who got me into Mufan Group. I wanted you to be the one to accept my resignation. You're back

now.

Here's my resignation letter."

Shin Yu-Xiang pulled out a creased letter.

He had been carrying this letter with him since he had been demoted because he had been waiting for this day when Ye Fan finally returned. He had wanted to end things properly.

"You're an idiot!" thundered Ye Fan furiously after he had heard everything that Shin Yu-Xiang had said.

He snatched the letter from Shin Yu-Xiang and ripped it into shreds. Then, he threw the tiny shreds of paper back at Shin Yu-Xiang.

"Shin Yu-Xiang, I brought you into Mufan Group and got you a position as the management of my company. Is this how you repay me? By telling me that you don't want me to get into a fight with my family? I gave you that job and that much power because I wanted you to make something of yourself. I wanted you to hold the fort and take care of my company for me. I didn't do it because I wanted my family to be happy. So, you want to quit, don't you? Well, get out right now then! From this day, I no longer have a friend called Shin Yu-Xiang. I'll forget all those years of friendship we had. You can get lost now!" Ye Fan was furious. He shoved his foot into Shin Yu-Xiang and pushed him towards the door. His thunderous voice could be heard throughout the entire building.

Shin Yu-Xiang sprawled across the floor. His eyes had reddened. The resentment and anger that he had kept pent up inside him finally erupted.

"Do you think I don't want to make something out of myself? Do you think that I don't want to help you run your company? Well, this company's filled with people who side with your family. It doesn't matter what position I hold. I'm just an outsider. Who's going to listen to me? Who cares what the hell I say? Everyone ostracizes me and pushes me around." "That's not the worst of it. What's worst is having that jerk, Ye Jian, ordering me around as he pleases. All it takes is a few words from him and I'm off scrubbing toilets. I've never been bullied so badly even when I was in school. Why should I stay in this job? If not on your account, I would have left a long time ago!"

"I would rather beg on the streets and starve to death instead of staying here and getting bullied by everyone!" bellowed Shin Yu-Xiang as he sat up and threw his cap onto the floor. His eyes had turned red from fury and resentment.

Of everyone working in the Fenghai branch, he was probably the only person who dared to yell at Ye Fan this way.

He had given up. He didn't care anymore. In fact, Ye Fan could beat him up for all he cared.

He wasn't going to do this anymore.

He couldn't take it anymore.

Ye Fan appeared unusually calm in the face of Shin Yu-Xiang's outburst.

He didn't beat Shin Yu-Xiang up or yell at him again. Instead, he walked up to Shin Yu-Xiang and pulled him up from the floor.

"I'm sorry, Yu-Xiang," he said quietly. "It was an oversight on my part. I'm sorry you had to suffer for it. If you still treat me as your friend, stay and help me. I'll make sure the problems are dealt with before I leave the city."

Shin Yu-Xiang snorted at Ye Fan's apology and turned away. It was clear that he was still fuming.

"Come on, Yu-Xiang. Stop being mad at me. Give me another chance. I'm begging you," pleaded Ye Fan.

Shin Yu-Xiang snorted again and ignored him.

"Hey! You stupid fatty! Stop sticking your nose up at me! Come on, how old are you? Stop acting like a kid waiting for a grownup to cheer you up," cursed Ye Fan as he lost his patience and kicked Shin Yu- Xiang in the ass again.

Shin Yu-Xiang slapped his hands over his butt and yowled in pain. Then, his face split into a wide grin.

Ye Fan burst out into laughter.

That was what it meant to be friends.

Every fight could be resolved with a kick to the butt.

If one kick didn't do it, then the second one would.

"Alright, this isn't the time for a chat. Get changed. I want you to look into everyone in the office. Find out who got their jobs because of the connections they have and who got them because they can do their job. Find out whatever illegal misdeeds the management has committed and report everything to me. I'm going to do a thorough extermination and get rid of every single rat or bug that's infesting the company. Don't let anyone's rank or background stop you. If anyone tries to stop you from doing your job, tell them to talk to me. I'm going to let them know whom Mufan Group truly belongs to. This is the company that I built for my wife. When the hell did it become the Ye family's company?"
