Chapter 140: Shameless Chen Zhidong

Chen Zhidong cursed inwardly: Li Dasong, your reputation in the group is hardly any better. There is no dirty deed you would not stoop to. What a strange thing—before, you would have fired someone like He Haoxuan at the first opportunity. Why were you suddenly afraid to deal with him openly?

But Chen Zhidong would never say any of that aloud. As long as he could catch He Haoxuan in some wrongdoing, he could get Li Dasong to fire him.

Thus, Chen Zhidong secretly resolved to make things difficult for He Haoxuan again that afternoon.

And as for that Xiaoyu, he certainly would not let her off either.

He Haoxuan arrived outside Li Qingying’s office. Mo Xiufang came out of the secretary’s room and blocked his way.

“President Li has gone out. You can’t go in.”

“I’m going in to rest.” He Haoxuan paid her no heed and pushed open the door.

Mo Xiufang followed him inside, furious. “He Haoxuan, this isn’t a place you can enter whenever you feel like it.”

“Get out!” He Haoxuan roared at her.

Mo Xiufang had not expected him to be so fierce. Startled, she immediately backed out.

Once outside, she closed the door, but her heart was still pounding wildly.

Who would have thought that this good-for-nothing He Haoxuan could be so terrifying when he lost his temper? She had nearly been scared to death.

He Haoxuan went into the adjoining lounge and lay down on the small bed. Quietly breathing in the lingering, delicate fragrance of Li Qingying on the sheets, he felt completely at ease.

Before long, he fell asleep.

He had no idea how much time had passed when his phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was already after three in the afternoon. The call was from a landline.

As soon as he answered, Chen Zhidong’s roaring voice came through. “He Haoxuan, where the hell have you been? Why haven’t you come back to work?”

“Heh. Chen Zhidong, your old man is taking a dump. What’s the matter? Are you in a hurry to shit yourself?” He Haoxuan laughed.

“Get back to work immediately, or I’ll make you pay!” Chen Zhidong cursed angrily.

“Enough. Don’t think that just because I’m new, I don’t know the rules. I only need to sell two hundred thousand yuan worth of products this month. What are you yelling about?” He Haoxuan replied impatiently.

Chen Zhidong said, “The contract with Green Fruit Company was arranged by me first. It doesn’t belong to you. It counts as my performance.”

Chen Zhidong had already called Green Fruit Company and confirmed that the matter was genuine.

As soon as the female secretary heard that the call was from the Baili Group, she had immediately become meek and submissive. She had even said that once the products arrived at their warehouse, they would transfer the money at once—within an hour at most.

The secretary had already been frightened out of her wits by He Haoxuan, and Jia Dazhi was still lying in the hospital, unable to return.

By now, anyone who dared provoke He Haoxuan was practically asking to die.

“What? Chen Zhidong, do you have no shame?” He Haoxuan demanded angrily.

“Heh heh heh. What is shame? What use is it?” Chen Zhidong laughed smugly. “Since you don’t want to come to work, then keep playing around. When you have no performance to show, don’t blame me for kicking you out of the company.”

Seeing how things stood, He Haoxuan immediately hurried back to the Fourth Section.

Damn Chen Zhidong for treating him like this. He would make the man regret it.

“Chen Zhidong, you bastard, get out here!” The moment He Haoxuan entered the office, he shouted at the top of his lungs.

His roar startled several colleagues who had remained behind.

Seeing how furious he was, Xiaoyu hurried over to placate him. “Brother Xuan, please don’t be angry. Section Chief Chen has already left. I heard he went to Green Fruit Company.”

“He ran away?” He Haoxuan shouted furiously.

He had intended to come back and beat Chen Zhidong up, but he had not expected the man to flee so quickly.

“Ah, Chen Zhidong really has gone too far,” a male colleague named Xu Yang said from behind them, sticking up for He Haoxuan. “The sales performance Brother He brought in clearly belongs to him, yet Chen Zhidong claims it as his own. He even had the Finance Department change the notes. Now he’s gone to Green Fruit Company to collect the money.”

“That’s right, but what can we do?” another colleague sighed quietly. “He’s the section chief. What he says goes.”

When they had first been transferred to the Fourth Section, they too had been bullied by Chen Zhidong.

Over time, they had grown used to it.

After all, they had been pushed into the Fourth Section precisely because they had not been doing well in the Sales Department and had been ostracized by the others.

Ah, they would endure it as long as they could. If they truly could not go on, they would resign.

In any case, many people resigned from the Fourth Section.

Company policy stated that if an employee was dismissed without valid grounds, the company had to pay an additional three months’ salary.

But if an employee resigned voluntarily, the company did not have to pay a single extra cent.

This was another method the company used to force people out. When they could not find grounds to fire someone, they sent the person to the Fourth Section and deliberately tormented them until they could no longer endure it and left of their own accord. That way, the company had nothing to do with their departure.

People like Xu Yang had been kicked down here because they had offended members of senior management.

Chen Zhidong tormented them relentlessly, ensuring that they would not last long.

The work assigned to the Fourth Section was normally impossible to complete. There were exceptions, however. For instance, Xiaoyu had managed to recover one hundred thousand yuan in overdue payments this time, astonishing everyone.

“Chen Zhidong went to Green Fruit Company, didn’t he?” He Haoxuan asked coldly.

“Yes, Brother Xuan.” Xiaoyu nodded.

He Haoxuan continued, “Do you have Jia Dazhi’s phone number?”

“I do.” Xiaoyu nodded again.

Jia Dazhi had given it to her when he was trying to ask her out. Later, while pursuing the overdue payment, she had often called him.

He Haoxuan dialed Jia Dazhi’s number from his own phone. It was answered not long afterward.

“Damn it, who’s calling me? Ow, that hurts!” Jia Dazhi howled.

“Jia Dazhi, this is He Haoxuan,” He Haoxuan said.

“Which He Haoxuan? I don’t know anyone by that name,” Jia Dazhi replied.

Then, his startled voice came through the phone. “The Mr. He from the Baili Group?”

“That’s right. It’s me. Do you remember me?” He Haoxuan asked.

“Remember you? Of course I remember you!” Jia Dazhi said hastily.

Damn it. Because of this He Haoxuan, he had been beaten up and had lost both the woman and his money.

He Haoxuan said, “About the payment for the goods in the contract we signed this morning—”

Before he could finish, Jia Dazhi immediately cried out, “Mr. He, I’ll have someone transfer the money right now. Please don’t be angry! I already scolded that secretary just now. She hasn’t got a brain in her head.”

“No. Listen to me. Don’t do anything rash,” He Haoxuan said darkly.

“Mr. He, I’ll listen to you. Whatever you tell me to do, I’ll do it. Even if you told me to start liking men right now, I’d do that too,” Jia Dazhi said fearfully.

At the thought of what He Haoxuan was capable of, Jia Dazhi broke into a cold sweat.

Damn it. If he had any choice in the matter, he never wanted to see He Haoxuan again—or even hear his voice.
