Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Finding a fault
I couldn’t help but laugh secretly. ‘No matter how you demean me, you think you can change Liusu’s trust in me?’ It was very funny. I even dared to say that even if I really misunderstood Zhang Mingjie’s kindness, Liusu would still stand by my side. But of course, I still hoped that I could have an absolute positive image in Liusu’s heart.
“According to Team Leader Li, Young Master Zhang really wanted to help me?”
“Of course,” Li Qi said confidently: “Otherwise he wouldn’t have gone to find Young Master Liu specifically. Don’t you think so?”
“That’s strange.” I turned around, looked at Liusu, and asked in confusion, “babe, didn’t Young Master Liu pick up your cousin yesterday morning and send you to the company as well? Why did it become that he was specially invited by Young Master Zhang? Could it be that. . . Both young masters already knew that I was going to be fired yesterday morning?”
The word “Babe” made Liusu’s face flushed with embarrassment, but she was dazed by the words that followed. She also felt that this thing was indeed a bit strange.
Li Qi’s face changed drastically.
From Li Qi’s words, I was able to confirm my suspicion. As expected, Liu Xiaosheng knew that I was going to be fired yesterday morning, so he pretended to test Liusu, send her to the company, and wait for the incident to happen.
Then he “coincidentally” appeared in front of me who had just been fired and was probably in a panic, anxious, and upset state, to sell me a great favor. In that way, not only would he be able to get back at me for making fun of him at the french restaurant, but he would also be able to make me work for him, and help him to chase Mo Fei. . .
However, I still didn’t understand, how did Liu Xiaosheng and Zhang Mingjie know that I would be fired by Mo Yizhi in advance? Even if it was Liusu, she only learned about it after I got out of the chairman’s office.
Could it be. . . Liu and Zhang, two young masters were also at Shangri-La Hotel yesterday?
That was not possible at all! Mo Yizhi, who valued the face of the family the most, definitely wouldn’t disclose this kind of ‘family scandal’ to outsiders.
The feeling of being unable to figure out this question really annoyed me.
“Maybe it was a coincidence. . . Hehe,” Unable to explain it, Li Qi simply tried to brush it off, “When Young Master Chu needed help the most, a great man appeared. It means that Young Master Chu is destined to be a lucky man.”
Damn, this guy sure knew how to talk nonsense. Could it be that this was how he got the position? I smiled indifferently, and continued to find a problem in his words, and gradually exposed his intentions behind his flattery, “Vice-chairman Zhang is the second person in charge of Fengchang. In terms of relationship, isn’t young master Zhang much closer to him than young master Liu? If he really wanted to help me, why didn’t he ask his father to speak to chairman Mo? Why did he have to deliberately owe Young Master Liu a favor? After all, Young Master Liu is still an outsider, right? ”
The tone I used was quite sharp, it made people feel like those people owed me something for helping me. But actually, it was not the case. Because I was sure that those people were not trying to help me but fool me.
Li Qi was wiping his cold sweat repeatedly, letting out awkward laughs, “every family has their own difficulties. Hehe, some things are not convenient to talk to the people in the same family.”
“What Team Leader Li said makes some sense. Maybe I have really misunderstood the kindness of Young Master Zhang.” Then I said ambiguously, “it is good to be kind, but one should understand the difference between family members and outsiders. A dog that knows how to guard home is undoubtedly a good dog, but if a dog only guards other people’s home, then I don’t think anyone would call that kind of dog a smart dog. Team leader Liu, I am not a smart person, so my analogy might not be appropriate, but I think you should understand what I mean, right?”
Hearing that I was mocking Li Qi, Liusu almost couldn’t help laughing out loud. She could not help but pinch the back of my hand secretly, her eyes seemed to say, “You are so bad”.
However, the face of Team leader Li of the investment department project team instantly turned ugly. As his fat face trembled, he forced himself to smile and said, “what Young Master Chu said is right, I understand it. . .”
I really couldn’t figure out why he was so tolerant. From the conflict we had last time in the canteen, it was not difficult to see that he had a very, quick, and impulsive temper. As I glanced sideways at Hong Tao behind him, his eyes were bloodshot, as if they could breathe fire.
What exactly were these two people up to?
While talking, we walked out of the company entrance and bypassed the gorgeous fountain in front of the building. Hong Tao had already rushed to the side of the road to help call a taxi before us.
Seeing the car stopped, Li Qi’s eyes flashed with a faint of joy that I couldn’t comprehend. He then stretched out his hand and said, “I think it is time for us to part company. As the old saying goes all good things must come to an end, saying too much would only make me look hypocritical. Young Master Chu, I will see you off here. In the future, if we have time, we can still have tea together. Take care. Hehe.”
“Thank you.” I shook hands with him, secretly feeling strange, ‘something isn’t right. Don’t these two guys want to give me a hard time?’
When I was wondering, I heard a soft cry from Liusu beside me. As I followed her gaze, I noticed that there were four or five delinquent-looking young men who wanted to take a taxi stopped by Hong Tao.
They rudely pushed Hong Tao away and quickly got into the taxi. Hong Tao staggered, the box in his hands fell to the ground and all the stuff inside was scattered everywhere. But what made me speechless was that Liusu was not looking at Hong Tao who was being pushed away rudely by other people, but my stuff that had been scattered everywhere on the ground. . .
“Stop!” Hong Tao grabbed the back collar of a young man who pushed him and pulled him out of the car, “I called this taxi first. Even if you want to take it, you don’t need to push me away. Now that all my stuff is scattered on the ground, you think you can leave that easily?”
“Yo, this big brother, what you said is really funny. You said that I knocked off your box, who saw it?” The delinquent young man who was dressed in the yellow shirt pushed away Hong Tao’s hand, and asked his companions who began to surround Hong Tao with a smirk, “did you see that I knocked over his box?”
Several young men laughed in unison: “No!”
“Ow! It hurts, it hurts,” the yellow-shirted young man held his neck, and groaned pretentiously to his companion: “He just pulled my collar and hurt my neck. Have you all seen it?”
“I saw it, this big brother, you are too ruthless.”
“Yes. Clearly, we didn’t do anything to you, but why do you have to be so violent?”
“Brother Kaizi, aren’t you injured? Should we call the police and settle this according to policy or law, or should we call over some brothers to deal with this privately?”
“I think Brother Kaizi only had a minor injury, so we don’t need to call over too many people. This big brother, if you pay us 1,000 or 800 yuan for medical expenses, we will call it even. Haha.”
How could Liusu not tell that Hong Tao got into trouble with a group of unreasonable delinquent young men? Feeling nervous, she leaned to me instinctively. I only looked at them with a smile, not planning to get involved.
“This is outrageous! Are you made of sponge, how can you be that weak? Moreover, it was you who pushed me first, are you trying to extort money from me?” Hong Tao stretched out his hand and pointed at us, “They all witnessed it and can testify for me.”
“Who saw it?” The young man called Kaizi raised his chin and looked down at us as he rushed towards me in big steps. Arriving before me, he asked menacingly again, “did you see me push him?”
Liusu was so scared that she hid behind me immediately, I smiled faintly, looked at Li Qi, then at Hong Tao, “I didn’t see it.”
This sentence stunned everyone.
Liusu was familiar with my character. She knew that I would not easily bow to this kind of person. What was more was that the things on the ground were mine, so she was surprised.
Moreover, it also made sense that Li Qi and Hong Tao were surprised. But why was this delinquent young man surprised? Why was he flustered? I couldn’t help laughing secretly. As I expected, Li Qi and Hong Tao were not kind people at all.
Before they could react, I asked, “Team Leader Li, did you see it?”
“I. . .” Li Qi didn’t know what to say now. This simple question was like a hot potato. No matter how he answered it, it would not end well.
Li Qi was Hong Tao’s uncle. Of course, it was justifiable for him to help him. But why was he hesitating? Even Liusu also sensed something was wrong.
I just asked casually, but from their reaction, I was certain that those delinquent young men were hired by Li Qi and Hong Tao.
Before joining Fengchang, Hong Tao was working in a nightclub. Even after joining the company, he couldn’t hold back his overbearing temper. If it weren’t for Li Qi who always helped him, he would have been fired at least twenty times. So how could a person with a tyrannical character tolerate those delinquent young men’s extortion?
And Li Qi, a hot-tempered man, seeing that his nephew was bullied by delinquent young men, how could he have no reaction? In addition, those delinquent young men were really audacious. Extorting Fengchang’s employees in front of Fengchang headquarters, were they not scared of securities?
Of course, those things would naturally be ignored if I had a fight with those delinquents.
I believed that this was also the ultimate goal of Li Qi Hong Tao.
