Chapter 1035: Chapter 1035
Sasaki pondered for a moment and said, "Now that Onimaru is dead, the company is still unstable internally, so I plan to stabilize the situation first."
Lin Chen nodded, "It seems I didn't misjudge you, not bad. Even though Onimaru is dead, there are still many of his people in the company. Since I've entrusted this place to you, I'll fully support whatever you do. Of course, if Onimaru's subordinates don't obey, just get rid of them directly. Don't have any reservations—it's inevitable for some blood to be spilled during a change of regime."
"Rest assured, sir, I will thoroughly eliminate Onimaru's remnants," Sasaki said respectfully.
Regarding these matters, Lin Chen only touched on them lightly; the rest depended on Sasaki's own capabilities. If he couldn't even handle Onimaru's leftover forces, he wouldn't be qualified to take on such a massive enterprise.
Lin Chen nodded and said, "Alright, please step out for now. I'll have a few words with these two ladies here and rest for a while."
"Yes!" Sasaki respectfully bowed to the others, then exited the room and closed the door behind him.
"Ye Zi, how do you feel about this person?" Lin Chen asked.
Ye Zi looked at Lin Chen and said, "Sasaki is the pawn my dad placed next to Onimaru. According to my dad, this person has some capability, but his downside is being overly cautious and lacking in boldness. However, he is quite loyal to my father."
Lin Chen nodded, "Ye Zi, anyone in this world can change. When their power expands to a certain extent, loyalty becomes insignificant. Remember, at all times, you must grasp the bigger picture."
"With Brother Lin Chen around, I dare anyone to try," Ye Zi smiled smugly.
"Ye Zi, I can't assist you here forever. Your father laid the foundation for you, and I've stabilized it for you. How it develops in the future is up to you," Lin Chen said, pats Ye Zi's shoulder.
"I understand. Isn't Sister Xiao Qing also a girl? If she can do it, I certainly can too," Ye Zi said confidently.
As they were chatting, suddenly there was a commotion downstairs, accompanied by the sound of breaking glass.
Frowning, Lin Chen thought that nightclubs have their own order, and generally, people don't dare to create trouble here. Since someone dared to cause a ruckus here, there was only one possibility: they came to pick a fight.
After all, Ye Zi had just become the president, and many people knew she was just a young girl. So undoubtedly, many forces would intentionally stir things up to test if Yamamoto's club would cave in after Ye Zi took over.
Lin Chen stood up and said to Ye Zi, "Let's go downstairs and take a look."
Upon reaching downstairs, they saw a few young men dressed in international designer clothes, arrogantly shouting at Sasaki.
On the other side, a girl in work clothes sat on the ground, her hand injured by broken glass on the floor, looking pained.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chen couldn't help but frown. He helped the girl up, "Are you alright, young lady?"
The girl saw Lin Chen, and a respectful expression appeared on her face, as she had noticed earlier that the manager here, Sasaki, treated Lin Chen very deferentially, knowing his identity was unusual.
She bit her cheek gently and shook her head, "I'm okay."
But Lin Chen wouldn't take no for an answer, taking her hand, "Saying you're alright with so much glass stuck in your flesh."
As he spoke, Lin Chen's hand lightly brushed over the girl's hand.
The girl suddenly felt a warmth in her hand, and the pain vanished entirely, and to her disbelief, the wounds and shards of glass on her hand disappeared too. Her little hand appeared as if it was never injured.
"What happened?" Lin Chen asked.
The young girl said indignantly, "I was delivering drinks to these young gents, but they refused to let me leave. As I struggled, I accidentally spilled drinks on one of them, and then they slapped me."
"I understand now!" Lin Chen nodded, his eyes carrying a hint of coolness.
"Miss Ye Zi, Mister Lin!" Seeing that the commotion had alarmed Lin Chen and Ye Zi, Sasaki looked a bit panicked.
"Let me handle this!" Lin Chen said as he parted the crowd and walked up to the young men.
"Gentlemen, I'm the person in charge here. If our service has been lacking, please tell me why you're so upset," Lin Chen accompanied his words with a smile, his attitude very humble.
The news of Yamamoto washing his hands of the matter had already spread within the underworld. Everyone knew his successor was a kid under the age of twenty.
When this news reached the ears of the major bosses, all felt a sense of schadenfreude, with some even predicting that Yamamoto's club wouldn't last half a year.
Thus, even though Lin Chen claimed to be the person in charge, the young man showed Lin Chen no respect whatsoever.
"Kid, if you're the boss here, then how do you plan to resolve this? My outfit is Armani and worth hundreds of thousands, ruined by this lady's spilled drinks. What should be done?" The young man said arrogantly.
After hearing the young man's words, Lin Chen smiled lightly, "This incident is indeed our fault. How about this: we'll waive all expenses for your party today, and we'll compensate for your outfit at full price. How does that sound?"
No one expected Lin Chen to handle the matter so delicately. Many people secretly shook their heads, realizing that Yamamoto's club might indeed be finished.
Lin Chen's response made the young man dressed in international brands freeze for a moment; he had prepared many words to say, but did not expect Lin Chen would concede so quickly.
As everyone knew, nobody dared cause trouble on Yamamoto's turf in the past. Today, they were blatantly causing trouble, yet Lin Chen took a low profile attitude.
"Alright kid, since you admitted your mistake so sincerely, I'll spare you today," shouted the young man arrogantly.
The brothers from Yamamoto's club who witnessed the scene clenched their fists tightly, feeling utterly humiliated.
"Since when did Yamamoto's club become so weak?" The disciples of Yamamoto thought, each feeling discontent.
This was absurd; it's better to switch gangs than take insults from such a leader.
The young man waved his hand proudly, "Guys, the young master is in a good mood today, so we're sparing them, let's go."
Each of the young men had a smug look, thinking that if word got out that they caused trouble on Yamamoto's turf and even received an apology, they'd look very impressive.
Just as they were about to reach the door, a cold voice came through.
"Did I say you can leave?"
The young man halted his steps, looking confusedly towards Lin Chen, "What do you mean?"
At this moment, Lin Chen seemed completely different, emanating a cold aura.
