After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 705 - 303: Who Put the Money in My Drawer?
Liu Rushuang's arrival did indeed deflate Huang Tianming's uncle's arrogance somewhat.
Although Yao Group had not been developing in Huhai for long, its growth was rapid. The Huang Family had a large enterprise with deeply intertwined influence.
But if a real confrontation ensued, it would undoubtedly also suffer a major blow.
Of course, Huang Tianming's uncle showed no signs of relenting, as Yao Group, though thorny, was not yet at a level where it could negotiate with the Huang Family on equal footing.
He let out a chuckle and merely gave the director beside him a look, after which he went off to have tea.

Director Wang was also feeling somewhat troubled at the moment; after all, Yao Group had started to make a name for itself in Huhai.
If it continued to develop at this rate for a few more years, it might actually earn a seat at the table with these established companies.
He didn't want to offend either side.
But since the Huang Family was an established company, Uncle Huang Tuanmin's intentions were clear - he wanted Director Wang to make a choice right then and there.
Without a doubt, Director Wang naturally chose the Huang Family; they already had connections, and over the years he had received many benefits from them. If he showed loyalty this time and the Huang Family owed him a favor, perhaps he could climb even higher in the future.
Thinking of this.
Director Wang still addressed Liu Rushuang first, "Since we're all developing in Huhai, let's not make this too unpleasant. How about we put an end to this matter here?"
Liu Rushuang lifted a pair of phoenix eyes, looking at him with a hint of mockery, "May I ask, Director Wang, are you speaking to me as a staff member, or as a dog raised by the Huang Family?"
"You!"
Director Wang was left speechless; such relationships were an unspoken truth, as it was a society based on personal connections, where everyone eventually needs a favor.
Even the deputy director usually maintained good relations with these large families.
That's why he dared to be so openly defiant.
However, being so blatantly stripped of that hypocritical halo angered Director Wang.
"I tell you! If you come here with a problem, then you have a problem! Your Yao Group isn't always so clean either, and we won't mind checking on you frequently!"
Faced with Director Wang's threat, though he was just a director of the regulatory bureau, in this society, power is such that even a little can change many things.
Faced with this kind of threat, even the biggest companies would weigh their options.
After all, if they were targeted for daily inspections, it would be distressing, even if there was nothing wrong.
But Liu Rushuang was no ordinary person, a strong woman who hadn't been crushed by life-and-death separations in the past.
Now, she protected Xu Musen in front of her, her eyes narrowed as she stared down Director Wang, "You can try! I don't care how much power you have, we are all just two shoulders and one head."
Director Wang, seeing the dark light in her eyes, suddenly felt a chill down his spine; whether it was an illusion or not, he felt a hint... of murderous intent?
Director Wang knew that talking to this madwoman was useless, so he turned to Xu Musen, playing the heavy directly.
"Do you know who he is? Huhai, the Huang Family's business is vast, not something your few milk tea shops can compare with. Be careful, or you won't have a place to stand in Huhai in the future. You'd better deal with this matter privately with him and don't make a fool of yourself!"
Director Wang's tone was harsh, intending to shock the young man into submission.
"Shut your mouth!"
"You dare to curse at me! You…"
Director Wang was speaking when he suddenly felt that the words were not coming from the young man before him.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open forcefully.
A deep and authoritative voice came through as a tall figure in uniform marched in.
The newcomer looked ordinary, but his presence was commanding, giving the impression of someone accustomed to high positions.
"Director Wang, what great official might!"
He looked at the stone-faced Director Wang, and his voice instantly snapped him out of it.
"Brother-in-law, how come you're back..."
They say that 'a high rank crushes the life out of you,' and the hitherto domineering director instantly became submissive.
"If I don't come, will our bureau turn into a den sheltering these people under your watch, Director Wang!"
The deputy director's presence quickly overwhelmed everyone.
"Brother-in-law, you..."
But inside, Director Wang felt an inexplicable sense of grievance. The Huang Family had always had a good relationship with the bureau, and he, the deputy director, had helped them out a lot.
Moreover, he had a marital connection with the deputy director, who would often take him along to collect bribes.
Otherwise, he as a mere director wouldn't dare to throw his weight around in the bureau.
"Shut up! How many times have I told you to address me by my title at work!"
The deputy director glanced at him and then at Huang Tianming's uncle, with whom he was well-acquainted.
Huang Tianming's uncle was also puzzled; today, to deal with Tianming's issue, the Huang Family had invited the deputy director for drinks, so why had he suddenly returned?
Moreover, his demeanor didn't seem to be on their side.
But the deputy director was wiping sweat from his forehead. He had been drinking with the Huang Family when he suddenly received a call.
The call was from the Ministry of Public Security in Huhai City. Though he was a director like him, the ministry director held an official position, and the prestige associated with it was far greater than that of his own market supervision department.
It was a simple call regarding their department detaining someone without distinguishing right from wrong, resulting in a direct reprimand.
