Chapter 221: Chapter 221 Removal from Post

Zhang Hai’s body stiffened.

Then he quickly squeezed out a smile and said with bravado, "Mr. Chen, don’t listen to this fool’s nonsense. I’m just a salaried worker; how could I become a Local Emperor?"

"In front of you, I’m not even worth a fart."

Chen Fan curled his lips, "If it weren’t for my special identity, would you be groveling and apologizing like this after your daughter bullied other tourists?"

Zhang Hai hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, today’s incident was just an isolated case. My daughter doesn’t usually bully tourists. I guarantee it, this kind of thing has never happened before!"

Chen Fan sneered, "Is that so?"

He looked towards the group of vendors not far away, "Tell me, is what he’s saying true?"

Zhang Hai immediately glared at the group of vendors, his eyes filled with threatening intent.

The vendors all hesitated, obviously afraid of telling the truth and being retaliated against by Zhang Hai afterward.

Seeing this, Chen Fan spoke up, "You don’t have to be afraid. Today, if you speak up about just one instance of him and his daughter bullying others on the island, I will remove him from his position as the director of the management office!"

Hearing this, the vendors became excited.

They had long wished to escape the oppression; they were previously helpless and thus dared not speak, but now that the boss had spoken, they naturally wouldn’t hold back any longer.

A middle-aged man stepped forward, pointing at Zhang Yan and said, "Just yesterday, she fancied two bracelets in my stall and had someone snatch them away. When I confronted her, her thugs beat me up!"

Then a beautiful girl stood up, looking at Zhang Hai, "This beast saw that I was pretty and wanted me to sleep with him. When I refused, he even groped me. In desperation, I pushed him away, and he hit me. Since then, my shop has been moved to a corner where no tourists ever go, and sometimes at night someone smashes my shop’s windows."

Zhang Hai became agitated, "You stop slandering me here! When have I ever done such a thing!"

The girl said, "I still have the surveillance footage. I can go pull it up right now for proof!"

Zhang Hai instantly cowered and turned to Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, don’t believe her words. If she really had evidence, she would have sued me long ago, not held back."

The girl’s face was full of injustice, "I’ve invested all my assets here. If it weren’t for your threats, do you think I wouldn’t want to sue you?"

Then five or six others stood up to testify against Zhang Hai’s crimes, with three able to present evidence.

After listening, Chen Fan looked at Zhang Hai with burning anger, "Are you going to continue with your sophistry?"

Zhang Hai’s face became deathly pale, and his legs began to shake. He forced a stiff smile, "Mr. Chen, I indeed made some mistakes in the past, but I have realized the error of my ways. I will work hard to correct them, and I promise such things will never happen again."

Chen Fan couldn’t help laughing, "Do you think there’s a future left for you?"

He looked at everyone and announced loudly, "I hereby declare that, starting today, this person will be relieved of his position as the director of the Moon Island management office. I will also make this matter known to all our peers, so they, too, can avoid harboring such a bad element!"

The whole place immediately erupted in cheers.

Zhang Hai nearly cried, kneeling in front of Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, please give me another chance. I have a family to provide for. If I lose this job, my whole family will starve!"

Chen Fan glanced at him, "When you were bullying others with your power, did you ever think that others also had families to support?"

Tang Qingwu came over, equally furious at Zhang Hai, and said, "Zhang Hai, I never thought you could be such a person. You have really disappointed me!"

Then she looked at Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, this matter has also been my negligence. I will definitely handle it and give you an explanation."

Chen Fan nodded, then turned and walked away without lingering any longer at the site.

Zhang Hai stood up, his face the picture of despair. He walked over to Zhang Yan and slapped her twice, "It’s all because of you, you idiot. Now I’ve lost my job because of you. Are you satisfied now?"

Zhang Yan burst into tears, "You’re hitting me again, I’m going to tell mom!"

Zhang Hai slapped her again, "Even if you tell your grandma, I still have to hit you today!"

...

As Chen Fan walked along, people all around cast admiring glances at him.

Tang Qingwu followed by his side, her face the picture of obedience.

Chen Yao, like a curious child, hopped along, staring with wide eyes at Chen Fan, "Cousin, you... you’re doing so well now? Is this whole Moon Island yours?"

Chen Fan nodded with a smile.

Tang Qingwu giggled, "Moon Island is just a tiny part of your cousin’s assets..."

Chen Fan signalled her with his eyes to stop.

Tang Qingwu reluctantly halted, not continuing further.

Chen Yao’s face was full of emotion, "Cousin, everyone used to mock you, saying that you were worse off than a servant when outside. I wanted to retort, but I didn’t know how to start."

"Now it’s great. If anyone dares to laugh at you again, I’ll let them know that my cousin owns an entire island!"

Chen Fan simply laughed, not saying much.

Chen Yao added, "Cousin, now that you’re doing so well, you should also go back for a visit and show those who looked down on you. After all, ’Wealth not returned home is like walking in brocade at night’."

Chen Fan nodded, "After this trip, I will visit my hometown."

At that moment, Fang Chen came over, his face all smiles, fawningly approaching.
