Ye Tiancheng arrived at the county's network company. As soon as he parked his pickup truck, Bao Na yelled, "Who is this? Move this broken car out of the way quickly!"
The security guard was burly and had a fierce look.
Seeing the guard's appearance, Ye Tiancheng smiled coldly and said, "What are you? How dare you speak to me like this? Don't you know how to die?"
The guard's words were like a lit fuse, and a sudden killing intent flashed in Ye Tiancheng's mind. He felt like he was about to explode and had a fierce urge to kill the other person. In Ye Tiancheng's world, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this, so he stepped forward and slapped him.
"Slap!"
The slap sent the guard sprawling on the ground, spitting out teeth.
The guard, clutching his face, got up from the ground and stared at Ye Tiancheng, saying, "You, you hit someone! Hitting people is against the law!"
"And looking down on people with your dog eyes and disrespecting them, is that not against the law?"
"That's not against the law, not against the law!" Ye Tiancheng smiled at them indifferently, his smile filled with endless killing intent and his deep dissatisfaction with the guard. These emotions made the guard uncomfortable. He, who worked at a county company, was hit by a bumpkin from the countryside. How could his pride remain balanced?
So, he said angrily, "You scoundrel!"
"You're the scoundrel!" Ye Tiancheng shamelessly mimicked him.
These words quickly attracted onlookers.
Ye Tiancheng smiled coldly and said, "What the heck?"
"What do you mean? Don't you see my power? What do you mean?" The guard was completely taken aback by Ye Tiancheng's words. He didn't know how to respond, but he was certain that his temper was about to explode.
Driven by this power, the guard had no resistance and fell victim to Ye Tiancheng's slaps.
He was beaten terribly.
Being beaten so badly naturally drew out the guard's owner.
This was Huang Dehua, the guard's owner.
Huang Dehua was in charge of network construction. Seeing Ye Tiancheng hitting his guard at the entrance, he said unhappily, "Jin Yi Wei is my friend. Do you want to die?"
"What Jin Yi Wei, Yin Yi Wei? In my world now, there's only one word: hurry up and build the 4G network, or I'll twist your head off."
Huang Dehua did not expect Ye Tiancheng to be so arrogant and dare to confront him. He thought Ye Tiancheng was ignorant and pathetic. However, he overlooked a very real and troublesome problem that had been plaguing him. Therefore, Ye Tiancheng clearly and seriously told Huang Dehua that in front of him, even dragons had to crawl and tigers had to lie down.
"You have guts, kid. Just you wait!" Huang Dehua didn't call Jin Yi Wei but instead called his good friend Dao Ba.
Dao Ba was Ye Tiancheng's slave. By the time he ran all the way from Xiaohe Village, it was already noon.
Ye Tiancheng waited for two hours at Huang Dehua's company for Dao Ba to arrive.
Dao Ba saw Huang Dehua and then looked at Ye Tiancheng, immediately understanding what was happening. He hurried towards Ye Tiancheng and said to him with a subservient demeanor, "Master, you're here?"
"You good-for-nothing Dao Ba, why are you here instead of working in the fields? I didn't tell you to come to the county, yet you dare to come!" This was a serious challenge to the other person. In the face of such a challenge, what else could one do? There was no way. So, Ye Tiancheng laughed heartily at the guard's appearance, because the guy was a complete idiot to dare to confront him, Ye Tiancheng. He didn't know what kind of courage it took for him to have such audacity.
"I'm a fool, you know? The master I like is my slave." Ye Tiancheng stepped forward and slapped him twice, clearly showing him how powerful and awesome he was. You insignificant trash should understand your own strength.
Under such pressure, the guard had no choice but to obediently accept everything that was happening, even if he was willing.
Dao Ba cried and said to Ye Tiancheng, "Please forgive me. I dare not do it again. If I offend you again, kill me."
Ye Tiancheng had no interest in guys like Gang Ge. He said coldly, "Get lost as far as you can. I don't want to see a fool like you again."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
He rolled on the ground and scurried outside, not daring to disobey Ye Tiancheng's words, knowing the consequences. Seeing this, Huang Dehua's eyes widened. He never expected the person he hired to be so vulnerable, practically trash in front of Ye Tiancheng. He realized Ye Tiancheng was very powerful and was so scared his legs went weak.
"Mr. Huang, what do you need? Let's discuss it properly. Don't put on airs or act like a boss in front of me." Ye Tiancheng's words carried immense killing intent, and his powerful aura instantly suppressed the other party. The other party also didn't expect him to be so formidable, as if he had no enemies. Under this extreme power, the other party felt completely overwhelmed and unable to resist. Thus, he was completely suppressed and, not understanding the situation, could only passively accept all of Ye Tiancheng's demands, even though he was very unwilling. So, Ye Tiancheng quickly reached an agreement with him to build the 4G network in Xiaohe Village.
"Now you have no objections, right? You should listen to me?" Ye Tiancheng looked at Huang Dehua coldly, a look of displeasure on his face. Seeing Ye Tiancheng like this, Huang Dehua felt incredibly terrified because he never imagined Ye Tiancheng could be so powerful, easily subduing Dao Ba.
Moreover, Dao Ba, who didn't even qualify to be his subordinate, was directly demoted to a slave. This shock was enough to make him completely collapse.
After all, slavery had disappeared thousands of years ago.
How could it appear in such a modern society? It was unimaginable.
But it had appeared, unexpectedly and astonishingly.
"I can't believe the dignified Huang Dehua has become a laughingstock." Although Huang Dehua was unhappy, he had to accept everything in the face of power. However, if he didn't accept it now, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This meant he had no choice but to agree to Ye Tiancheng 100%.
Network construction in Xiaohe Village soon began. During the construction, Ye Tiancheng demanded the installation of high-capacity equipment, as he predicted that the village would develop into a medium-sized city in the future.
That is to say, in the first phase, he wanted to develop it to the scale of a prefecture-level city. Therefore, he wanted the wireless network to be installed at a level above that of a town, because in the future, they would also open factories and do business, which would be impossible without a network.
"If you think the wireless network is poor, I can help you build a wired network to the village entrance," Huang Dehua said, wanting to earn Ye Tiancheng's money. He thought Ye Tiancheng must be wealthy and suggested bringing a dedicated line directly from the city.
And bringing a line from the city would cost at least one or two hundred million. Ye Tiancheng didn't have that much money. So, he smiled and said, "Do whatever you like. It's none of your business. Shut your bird mouth. If you keep babbling, I'll cut your mouth off."
Ye Tiancheng's unfriendly attitude from the start almost made him collapse. He never expected Ye Tiancheng to speak like that.
Moreover, Ye Tiancheng's unfriendly attitude made him feel like he was on the verge of collapse. After all, he was the boss of a company. How could he be spoken to so dismissively, as if he were trash?
Therefore, a huge pressure difference formed in his heart, making him feel sad and filled with endless fear. Honestly, he had never imagined he would end up like this. It was completely beyond his imagination, something he thought impossible, but it had happened. At this moment, he could only reluctantly accept the unfair treatment. He said to Ye Tiancheng, "From now on, do whatever you want, it's none of my business. But I must remind you that wired networks are much more stable than wireless networks. Wireless networks can sometimes have slow speeds due to weather."
"I understand."
He was asked to report the installation costs. The other party immediately quoted, "200,000."
"After listening to you so much, are you old? Halve the price." Ye Tiancheng believed in strong-arming and selling, but he was also a formidable figure. If he could take something from someone, he would. If he could suppress someone, he would. At this moment, he said whatever he wanted, and others had no room to refute.
In this era where the strong prey on the weak, he said whatever he wanted.
Because he was the strong one now, and the other guy was the weak one. The so-called weak had to accept the leadership and oppression of the strong.
In front of the strong, they deserved to be killed. Because that's how the world was, so everyone dreamed of becoming strong, because the strong could be arrogant, bossy, and didn't have to listen to anyone.
In Ye Tiancheng's mind, the strong were like this.
Perhaps some people would say he was wrong, but he was used to doing things his way. It didn't matter what others thought, because he believed that he should do whatever he wanted, and how others saw it was their business. So, he threw 100,000 yuan at the guy and left without a second glance.
Huang Dehua, gritting his teeth with the 100,000 yuan, cursed at Ye Tiancheng's retreating back, "Brat, you'll get what's coming to you. We'll see. Green hills remain, and the flowing water continues."
Despite his anger, he was helpless against Ye Tiancheng at the moment and could only silently accept everything.
At this moment, the guy truly didn't expect Ye Tiancheng to dare to do this, and he did it without any hesitation. This made him feel oppressed and unable to escape.
Perhaps it was in this feeling that he finally found his weakness and desperately wanted to break through it, only to find it impossible. Because his entire fate was in Ye Tiancheng's hands, meaning he had no suitable way to resolve anything and could only watch Ye Tiancheng bully him. From now on, Huang Dehua understood a crucial task: to engage in a death match with Ye Tiancheng. It was either Ye Tiancheng's death or his own; there was no other choice between them.
For him, reaching this point was already a great feat.
But he didn't want his fate to end in this way. He wanted to expand his strength through another method. Expanding his strength naturally required many cruel means, like a devil constantly devouring the weak to strengthen himself. The more he devoured, the greater his power became.
Generally speaking, enemies forge one's strength; without enemies, there is no reason or motivation to strive for improvement. Therefore, although Ye Tiancheng caused him frustration, he also provided him with the motivation to strive for improvement. He didn't realize this day, but these intangible developments were precious to him. Thus, one day when he truly understood these things, he would truly grow into an adult. For now, he was not an adult at all but a young man who had not yet shed his immaturity. Generally, forty means no longer confused.
It means understanding the true meaning of life, knowing one's strength, doing what one should do, and bringing peace or conflict to the world. People are constantly aging, like flowers blooming similarly year after year, but people changing year after year. Once old, nothing can change the tide. Time always moves forward, never backward. Therefore, no matter how powerful a person is, they are no match for time. Time seems to exist as an eternal, ageless entity. At this moment, Ye Tiancheng didn't know how to speak to this guy because he felt he lacked awareness. Correcting his mistakes was Ye Tiancheng's original intention, but it had created such an enemy. Ye Tiancheng had to admit he was very depressed and confused.
But there was no other way. After all, this guy lacked the intelligence and strength of Ye Tiancheng. The reason he was who he was was because he didn't know how to compensate for his strength and become the most powerful person. Because he didn't know, the pressure he felt in his heart always doubled.
"He was given no choice, and after experiencing many things, people always grow." At this moment, the Nuwa Stone said to him inside Ye Tian Village. This statement was like a reminder, meaning Ye Tiancheng should not go too far, or he would face divine retribution. But he didn't care about divine retribution at all; he only wanted to do what he thought he should do. That was all. However, his thoughts were perhaps too naive. Sometimes, living in this world wasn't about doing whatever you wanted; you had to follow the trajectory of this world. The so-called trajectory of this world was established customs that humans could not destroy or surpass.
One must accept and obey these rules.
Such a thing is naturally not good, because no one wants to be restrained or oppressed. Everyone wants to live freely. But living in this world, no one is free from oppression and restraint. If you don't want to be oppressed and restrained, you will leave this world, just like the nine planets in the solar system, each planet is constrained by the sun. Because the sun is the star with the largest mass and greatest force, it possesses power that the nine planets cannot match.
The nine planets have only one option: to be constrained by the sun and follow its orbit. Therefore, if a person becomes powerful, like the sun, they can constrain others and make them follow their trajectory. Powerful people naturally become suns, while weak people are not even like small stars.
Their existence is like cosmic dust, only to be absorbed by the sunlight or the power of other planets, falling onto their surfaces and becoming a part of them.
Ye Tiancheng understood this principle long ago, so no matter what, he had to become strong, using any means necessary, no matter how unscrupulous. In this world, people only respect the strong. If you are not strong enough, you will be devoured, leaving no trace behind. Thinking of this, his heart turned cold. Once upon a time, he was one of the weakest, trampled on by others every day, with no dignity.
Having experienced so much darkness, he would no longer see the light, because Ye Tiancheng's heart had no light, as he was bound by darkness.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng's darkness, the Nuwa Stone said nothing. Everyone's destiny was their own to find. If they were to perish, it was also their own seeking, and it had nothing to do with her. What they did was to try to restrain his thoughts and guide him onto the correct path. In fact, the Nuwa Stone's thoughts were also quite evil; she wanted to overthrow the Jade Emperor.
Ye Tiancheng's current situation had a lot to do with his own nature, which was that he was inherently very evil. Under this evil influence, he would become even more so. Regardless of his inner thoughts, the ultimate cause was his personality, because personality determines a person's destiny.
