Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Not Friend Arc— Comedian
Translator: Doggotranslation
Sure enough, Zhang Mingjie saw that I had seen it through, so he simply stopped pretending to be confused and said: “Assistant Chu, in fact, Young Master Liu and I came to ask you a question. I heard that you were fired by the chairman himself. I wonder if this is true?”
How did they get the information this fast? Moreover, where did they hear it? Even the little nosy parker Song Jia was not sure that I was fired by the chairman himself. Was it possible that the person who told them this was the chairman himself or Secretary Long?
This was really unlikely. . .
“Sigh, fired. . .” I was quite emotional: “It was indeed fired. . .”
A gloating light flashed in the eyes of the two young masters. Liu Xiaosheng patted me on the shoulder. The expressions of regret and concern were like old comrades who have lived for many years. “Assistant Chu, my father and Chairman Mo are close friends, and I can also be regarded as someone close to Chairman Mo, so I can still speak a few words in front of him. If you don’t mind, I am willing to ask the Chairman to reconsider it for you. I think he will still give me some faces.”
What did Liu Xiaosheng want to see? Did he want me to bow to him, beg him and treat him like he was my savior? Indeed, from his point of view, I was just an ordinary, insignificant office worker, so Mo Yizhi would definitely be happy to do him a favor and reconsider it. It was not difficult to infer from this that he did not know the real reason why Mo Yizhi wanted me to leave the company.
Mo Fei actually regarded me as her father’s substitute. This could be regarded as a scandal in the Mo family, right? Not to mention Liu Xiaosheng, even if his father, old Liu, went to lick Mo Yizhi’s shoes in person, he would probably not do you this favor. . .
“Mr. Liu, thank you for your kindness, but. . .”
“Don’t worry,” Liu Xiaosheng smiled heartily: “After all, we are friends who have dined together, so we should help each other.”
Unless I was really a fool, I definitely wouldn’t step on the trap behind his laughter.
What the surname Liu was thinking about, I understood it clearly after thinking for a moment. This person was not a person with a petty mind, but he was more terrifying than that kind of person. He did not want to avenge me for making a fool of him, but very committed to his goal – Mo Fei and Shu Tong.
He still wanted to have both.
If I owed him this favor and saved my job with his help, then not only I had to help him to hide the fact that he was chasing Mo Fei from Ms. Shu, but I also had to help him to chase Mo Fei. For example, if there was a dinner invitation again, I would have to help him to create an opportunity that he could stay with Mo Fei alone. . .
However, Liu Xiaosheng didn’t know that I left because my relationship with Mo Fei had broken.
Zhang Mingjie also helped: “Yeah, Assistant Chu, you may not know, but our chairman admires Young Master Liu very much. As for Young Master Liu, the weight of his words is not lighter than Ms. Mo.”
Liu Xiaosheng said modestly: “Young Master Zhang’s words are too exaggerated. Uncle treats Miss Mo as his own daughter. How can I compare with her?”
The way he addressed Charmain Mo suddenly changed to “Uncle”, it made people feel that the relationship between them was very close. If I really cared about this job, just based on the way he addressed him, I would’ve probably begged him. . .
“Young Master Liu, it’s not that I am trying to flatter you. You also know that the chairman has no children. So Fengchang will definitely be handed over to Ms. Mo in the future. However, Ms. Mo is just a woman after all. . .” Zhang Mingjie paused and then continued to flatter Liu Xiaosheng shamelessly. “I always feel that the chairman has already regarded you as half of his son.”
Liu Xiaosheng didn’t even blush, “Young Master Zhang, you are really funny. Miss Mo is someone who is blessed by heavens, how would she be interested in me?”
He only said that Mo Fei might not be interested in him, but he did not deny that Mo Yizhi regarded him as half of his son. Liu Xiaosheng’s face was actually much thicker than Zhang Mingjie.
The son-in-law was often considered as half one’s son. These two fellows were like standing up comedians, and they were acting in front of me. Looking at Liu Xiaosheng who was full of joy, I cruelly interrupted him, “Young master Liu, thank you for your kindness, but you don’t seem to understand it. Actually, it was my fault that I didn’t explain it clearly. It was not that I was fired by Fengchang, but that I fired Fengchang.”
Liu Xiaosheng was dazed, “You fired Fengchang? !”
“Yes, so I have nothing to miss about Fengchang,” I sighed. “Probably we won’t meet again in the future. Before I leave, I would like to advise you that daydreaming in broad daylight is not healthy for the body and mind. If you really want to chase a woman, then use your sincerity to impress her. Don’t just come up with dirty tricks. I have seen a lot of shameless people, but I have never seen people that are as shameless as your two. I kind of feel sorry for your parents. It was not easy for them to raise you, but you are eager to be someone else’s son. Tsk. Remember my advice, if you want to chase a woman, be more direct like a real man. Otherwise, It would only make me question your real gender.”
In the dumbfounded look of the two young masters, the elevator stopped on the first floor. I didn’t bother to continue to talk to two people and walked out of the elevator. But before I was able to walk out, someone’s hand suddenly grabbed my shoulder. As I turned around, I heard Zhang Mingjie say, “Chu punk! What did you just say!”
“I am trying to save your face. Do you really want me to say it again?” At the same time, I fiercely pushed Zhang Mingjie’s arm away and smiled: “Young master Zhang, for the sake of we used to work in the same company, I will give you another piece of advice for free. If you don’t want to lose face, remember, don’t offend passers-by, because they won’t know who you are, so they will not give you any face.”
Zhang Mingjie was furious. It was understandable why he would react this way. The two fellows thought that I would bend my knees and beg them, and then become their lackey, but who would have thought that I didn’t care about the job in Fengchang at all.
“You. . .” Zhang Mingjie was so furious that he subconsciously raised his arm, showing a savage and hideous look.
I looked at him contemptuously and smiled: “Yes, you don’t have time to scheme against me anymore. If you are not happy, you can only use violence against me now, simple and direct, but. . . You dare?”
Zhang Mingjie brows twiched and roared: “You think I dare not? !”
I snorted disdainfully. Liu Xiaosheng, who was trying to see something on my face, suddenly flashed a surprise in his eyes, and said hurriedly: “Young master Zhang, be careful, he is deliberately provoking you!”
Liu Xiaosheng reacted quickly enough, but unfortunately, it was still too late. Zhang Mingjie was already so angry that he threw a punch straight at my face. . .
Smart people were always conceited, so my refusal not only surprised them, but also hurt the self-esteem of the two young masters to a certain extent. If I mocked them even more, how could Zhang Mingjie stand it? It was a pity that because I suddenly took a step forward, his fairly fierce straight punch smashed over my shoulder. Before he could show any sign of panic, the bridge of his nose was hit by my powerful headbutt.
I was just defending myself, and the camera in the elevator could prove it.
With a muffled groan, Zhang Mingjie fell back with his nose bleeding. He just happened to fall into Liu Xiaosheng’s arms. Liu Xiaosheng did not expect that not only would Zhang Mingjie miss the punch, but he would also be hit by me instead. Unprepared, his back hit the wall inside the elevator, and he sat down with his arms around Zhang Mingjie.
My forehead was a little bit painful, but the pain somewhat vented some of the emotions in my heart. Amid Liu Xiaosheng’s shameful and angry glare, I smiled lightly and said to Zhang Mingjie, who probably couldn’t hear me. “I told you not to offend passers-by.”
…
Wandering aimlessly on the road, I didn’t know what I should do.
After teaching Zhang Mingjie a little lesson, I also calm down a little bit. But two questions also emerged spontaneously, which made me a little concerned.
First, how did Liu Xiaosheng and Zhang Mingjie know that I would be fired today? Liu Xiaosheng went to Liusu’s flat early in the morning to give Shu Tong a lift to school, and then ‘successfully’ sent Liusu to Fengchang. After that, he even stayed in Fengchang to chat with Zhang Mingjie, and then ‘ran into’ me who was fired by the company. Was it really just a coincidence?
Second, how did Mo Yizhi know about the investment that Mo Fei and I handled secretly? Regarding the 45 million investment, I didn’t doubt that it would be discovered by Mo Yizhi sooner or later, but he discovered it way too early. You have to know that it was Mo Fei who personally handled it, and none of the teams under the Investment Department ever participated in it. Moreover, if it had been discovered earlier, Mo Yizhi would not have waited until today to come to talk to me, so it was certain that he only knew about it yesterday or the day before yesterday after the successful investment. But who told him? Only Mo Fei and I knew about this. So if it was not me… but based on her reaction, . . It also couldn’t be her.
