Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Standing up for Chi Enen!
As soon as they entered,
they attracted the majority of the gazes in the office.
Wei Ting and her colleagues were beauties from the evening time slot, so men naturally swallowed their saliva in admiration, while most women concealed their disdain.
Qin Nan disliked their flirtatious behavior every morning the most. She glanced in Li Beijue’s direction and curled her lip.
Pfft, the moment the CEO arrives, those foxy ladies start putting on airs again.
Her eyes swept over Chi Enen’s empty position, filled with some worry.
Strange, why hasn’t Enen come to work today?
Li Beijue had been waiting for them to arrive. As soon as they did, his falcon-like eyes locked onto the group led by Wei Ting.
“Master Jue, it’s them,” Huo Yi reminded him in a low voice.
The tapping of Li Beijue’s fingers on the desk suddenly ceased—an impending storm was on the horizon!
Unaware of the danger, Wei Ting and the others were secretly pleased that the CEO was looking at them, wishing they could walk with the poise of a catwalk model as they moved.
“Lock them all in the toilet!”
Each word carried ruthlessness!
With one glance from Huo Yi, more than a dozen security guards quickly grabbed Wei Ting and her group, pushing and shoving them toward the toilet.
Still dreaming of being the CEO’s love at first sight, they were startled by the rough handling and began to struggle frantically.
“What are you doing?”
“What’s going on?”
“Let go, don’t pull me!”
“Have you all gone mad, what is this!”
“Push them in!” Li Beijue commanded coldly.
People on the office level looked at each other, clueless as to what had transpired. What’s gotten into the CEO?
Only Huo Yi knew what had happened and what was to come.
He watched indifferently as several doomed women were pushed into the toilet, locking them one by one in cubicles similar to Miss Chi—they too were trapped, unable to escape.
Then, without needing instructions, more than a dozen security guards twisted open buckets of cold water laced with ice, pouring them from outside onto the trapped individuals!
“Whoosh—”
The toilet echoed with screams.
Wei Ting and the others were in a sorry state, continuously banging on the doors and screeching, “Let me out!”
“Quick, let me out!”
When another bucket of ice water was poured over them, ice hitting her head, one of them scrambled away in a sorry state while screaming from the cold, “Aaah—”
For a moment, the toilet was filled with screams, cursing voices, and pleas for forgiveness…
The office level was dead silent.
No one dared to speak up to ask what was happening, each keeping their head down, fearing such misfortune befalling them, not even daring to let out a breath.
“Stop it, I was wrong, I was wrong, President Li, I was wrong,” Wei Ting, being the smartest and the quickest to react, pleaded after enduring two buckets of ice water. She had realized her mistake and, even if she didn’t know why the CEO was involving himself in this matter, she was the first to admit her fault, “President Li, I was wrong, I swear I’ll never dare to do it again.”
Never dare again?
Each time Li Beijue thought of how he found Chi Enen the previous evening and saw the little lady in such a vulnerable and pitiful state, he wanted her dead!
If it wasn’t for his principle of not hitting women, did she think that merely being locked in the toilet and drenched with ice water was all he’d do?
The air in the office level suddenly turned ice-cold!
“Keep them locked inside for 6 hours! When time is up, let them pack up and get out! And Huo Yi,”
“Yes, Master Jue?”
“Let the word out, tell everyone—if anyone dares to hire these people, they’ll be going against me, Li Beijue!”
