Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhu Hongda scolded Jiang Feng, making all the employees of the company look at him. This kind of thing was very rare in the company. The gossipers were all in position, and many people were still whispering and commenting.
As he watched Zhu Hongda being so rampant in front of him, Zhang Qidong’s face went numb from anger. He opened his mouth, ready to teach him a lesson when, suddenly, a few employees who were not far behind Zhu Hongda took the lead and spoke out.
“Jiang Feng, as a newcomer, you don’t even know the company’s rules and regulations. Manager Zhu scolded you well!”
“Exactly. Manager Zhu should teach his subordinate a lesson for causing the boss trouble. I don’t know how big of a delay it will result in.”
“You don’t know your limits. Hurry up and apologize to the boss.”
“Today, Manager Zhu scolded you for your own good. I don’t know if that pig brain of yours can even understand.”
When someone opened his mouth, many employees of the company started to speak as well. Each and every one of them was showing off their own awesomeness. They started to show off their cleverness too while scolding Jiang Feng, all of them siding with Zhu Hongda.
“Jiang Feng, you didn’t do the task assigned to you and even tried to cause the boss trouble. You’re really lawless!”
While some of the employees were talking, the team leader not far away stood up and said, “Trash like you can’t do anything well. But if you can’t do this, you should have said so earlier. It would have saved the company resources!”
When he saw this team leader directly insult Jiang Feng, the corner of Zhu Hongda’s mouth curled up into an imperceptible smile.
He looked at Jiang Feng with a hint of pride in his eyes. Unlike a newcomer, it was obvious that he was on the manager’s side. Therefore, many employees took this opportunity to express their positions. In order to survive in the company in the future, they didn’t care about sacrificing Jiang Feng. Besides, it wouldn’t be bad for them if they forced Jiang Feng to resign.
Everyone pointed at each other and spoke, and each and every one of them was pleased with themselves and felt that what they had said was right. However, most of the employees kept their mouths shut and only watched the drama in front of them. There were also a few employees who secretly sighed when they saw Jiang Feng being targeted like this. This was because they had also been targeted by these disgusting people before, but they had all endured it again and again. Now that they saw Jiang Feng like this, they still couldn’t bear it.
However, they didn’t dare say anything else because if they said the wrong thing, their days in the future wouldn’t be easy. Therefore, they could only look at Jiang Feng with some heartache, feeling sorry for him.
“You didn’t even do your job. Instead, you started running around. You really have guts!”
“Oh right, you were 15 minutes late this morning, right? Then you should be punished one more time, and your weekly salary will be deducted!”
Zhu Hongda was pleased with himself as he looked at Jiang Feng and started scolding him again. Just like that, a group of people stared at Jiang Feng, who had just left the room, and started scolding him with all kinds of mocking remarks. Zhang Qidong, who was standing behind Jiang Feng, was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He hadn’t expected that he would be busy investing in the past few days, so he had ignored these guys. Now, they were all completely rampant! Plus, his angry look made everyone think he was angry at Jiang Feng.
However, Jiang Feng, who was standing in the front, didn’t care about the verbal attacks of these clowns. He had even heard the cold words of Shen Wen, Yu Jia, and the others. The words of these strangers couldn’t hurt Jiang Feng at all. He only felt pity for these guys, and his expression was still calm as he glanced at the employees of the company and smiled faintly.
However, this strange action caused Zhu Hongda to frown. He glanced at Zhang Qidong, who was trembling from anger behind him, and immediately roared in a deep voice, “What are you laughing at? Scram immediately!”
However, the moment he finished speaking. Zhang Qidong couldn’t hold it in any longer and raised his hand to slap him.
A resounding slap echoed throughout the entire company, and the arrogant Zhu Hongda staggered and almost fell to the ground.
“Get the f*ck out of here. From this day onward, you’re fired!” Zhang Qidong pointed at Zhu Hongda angrily.
This sudden scene immediately silenced the entire company. Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the angry Zhang Qidong, their hearts trembling. They were stunned. What was going on? Why would the boss hit Manager Zhu? Shouldn’t he be teaching Jiang Feng a lesson? And he had even announced that Zhu Hongda would be fired! It was really terrifying. They were completely shocked by Zhang Qidong’s actions, as in all their years at the company, no one had ever seen Zhang Qidong so angry.
The team leader, who was standing, immediately sat down. Zhu Hongda was even more confused now. He covered his face and felt a burning pain on it. He didn’t know why, but he had been slapped by Zhang Qidong. It was Jiang Feng who had made a mistake, so why was he the one slapped? He was stunned on the spot, and his mind went crazy!
After he finished slapping Zhu Hongda, Zhang Qidong turned to look at the company hall.
“You, you, and you. Liu Jiewei, Wang Zhi, Li Qingyi, and you…
“All of you have been fired. Pack up your stuff immediately and get lost!”
Zhang Qidong pointed angrily at the employees who had heckled Jiang Feng just now and fired them without hesitation. Even though there were many old people among them, he didn’t show them any respect and just asked them to leave after paying their salaries. In front of Jiang Feng, no one in the entire company was more important. If anyone dared to say anything bad about Jiang Feng, they would be fired today.
Zhang Qidong was aware of the severity of the situation. He knew what the future company needed. He wouldn’t be afraid even if all these unimportant employees and managers were fired. There were a lot of talented people in society, so he could totally recruit more. But if he offended Jiang Feng, the anger in Jiang Feng’s heart wouldn’t be appeased. There would be no turning back for him!
Besides, these guys were actually very arrogant and didn’t take their colleagues seriously. If he didn’t fire them, how decent would the company be? That was why he fired all of these brainless guys so fast.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the employees whose names had been called out immediately felt dissatisfied. “Why should we be fired? Did we do something wrong?”
“That’s right. It was Jiang Feng who made a mistake first. He ignored the company’s rules and regulations and went beyond his rank to see a leader. So what if we scold him a little?”
“Is the company going to suddenly fire us over a useless rookie? What sort of qualifications does he have?”
“We’ve been working hard for the company for so many years. Now that we’ve been fired, where’s your conscience?”
“I’m not convinced. There’s no reason to fire us! We’re speaking up for the company. Is this considered wrong?”
For a moment, everyone stood up and shouted loudly. They were not convinced by Zhang Qidong’s words at all. In their eyes, he was just teasing Jiang Feng. Even though they had admitted to the crime, they did not deserve to be fired.
He was just a small employee. So what if they scolded him a little? Was the boss confused today? As the crowd shouted, Zhu Hongda, who had been thinking for a moment, came back to his senses. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. At the same time, he became bolder upon hearing the crowd’s words, and the burning pain on his face made him angry.
Then, he turned to look at Zhang Qidong and angrily said, “Boss, I’m speaking for the company!
“This kid Jiang Feng doesn’t care about the rules and regulations and acts beyond his rank. Scolding him a few times will teach him a lesson.
“I’m his superior, and it’s my duty to deal with him. But should I be fired because of this?
“Besides, Jiang Feng is only a newbie. What right do you have to protect him?” Zhu Hongda’s eyes were filled with anger as he questioned Zhang Qidong loudly. His words also caused the people who had been fired to shout even louder. All of them stared at Zhang Qidong, their eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
At that moment, the atmosphere was heavy, and the door of the finance office suddenly opened with a bang and Song Yaozhong’s figure appeared in front of everyone.
“I’ll tell you!” He moved his gaze over the employees standing in the room. Then, he turned his eyes to Zhu Hongda and said loudly, “He is the real boss here!”
As soon as Song Yaozhong said that, all the noise in the company immediately stopped! The air instantly froze, and the whole place was dead silent!
