Jiang Ranran said angrily, "Manager Cheng, this is wage docking!"
"I'm not docking your wages arbitrarily." Cheng Kai smiled smugly. "You're not cooperating with your work. I have clients to see this afternoon, and I asked you to accompany me. That was my work arrangement for you, but you refused to comply, so your wages will be docked!"
He didn't believe that he, a manager, couldn't handle a mere girl.
"You!" Jiang Ranran was very angry, but Cheng Kai was adamant, and she was helpless.
Cheng Kai smiled and said, "So, after lunch, you'll have to come with me to meet the client. Don't worry, it's easy work, just a little drinking at most."
"Do you have any shame?" Li Se naturally wouldn't allow anyone to bully his girlfriend.
"What did you say?" Cheng Kai glared angrily at Li Se.
"Can't you understand human speech?" Li Se said coldly.
"Get out, or I'll call security!" Cheng Kai roared.
"Who do you think you are? You tell me to get out and I'll get out? Did you open this mall?" Li Se said dismissively.
Cheng Kai sneered, "I didn't open this mall, but the person in charge of this mall is my brother-in-law!"
With that, he took out his phone to call security.
"Manager Cheng, I quit, alright?" Jiang Ranran really didn't want to be pestered by Cheng Kai. He had started harassing her when she first started working. She actually liked this job, but she didn't expect Cheng Kai to go this far today.
"Quit?" Cheng Kai was stunned, completely not expecting Jiang Ranran to propose quitting, as this job offered very good benefits.
"Ranran, I'll find you a job." Li Se himself had a company now, so arranging Jiang Ranran in it wouldn't be a problem at all.
However, at this moment, security guards had already surrounded them. Upon seeing Cheng Kai, they respectfully called out, "Manager Cheng."
"This kid is here to cause trouble, throw him out!" Cheng Kai pointed at Li Se.
"This..." The security guards hesitated. Most people entering the mall were shoppers. Unless someone was truly causing trouble, and this Li Se didn't look like he was.
"What are you waiting for, throw him out!" Cheng Kai roared.
The security guards didn't dare to disobey Cheng Kai and approached Li Se, looking as if they were going to escort him out.
"I strongly suspect he stole something from the mall because his girlfriend is an employee here. They're working together. Call the police!" Cheng Kai added at this moment.
"That's slander!" Anger appeared on Jiang Ranran's beautiful face.
"Slander?" Cheng Kai sneered dismissively. "We'll know if it's slander when the police arrive. Control them first."
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, a cold shout rang out.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and many people, upon seeing the arrival, respectfully called out, "CEO Chu!"
Cheng Kai quickly plastered a smile on his face, "Ah, CEO Chu, it's just a small matter, I'll handle it right away."
"A small matter?" Chu Mingxuan frowned slightly, and when he saw Li Se's appearance, his expression changed drastically, "Dr. Li, why are you here?"
"I came to find my girlfriend, but this Manager Cheng was very domineering and wanted to throw me out, and even accused me of stealing from the mall," Li Se said with a cold laugh.
Chu Mingxuan's face darkened. He had a good impression of Li Se, but that was not important. Most importantly, Li Se was the protagonist of the widely publicized medical association incident some time ago. He had heard about it from Song Xuehai.
*Slap!*
Chu Mingxuan fiercely slapped Cheng Kai across the face, "Who gave you the courage to slander Dr. Li?"
"I..." Cheng Kai was stunned by the slap.
Many people around gloated. This Cheng Kai often abused his position, and with his brother-in-law being the person in charge of the mall, he was arrogant and had bullied many female employees.
Seeing Cheng Kai get slapped now, everyone felt incredibly pleased.
"You're fired, get out!" Chu Mingxuan ordered.
"CEO Chu, my brother-in-law is..." Cheng Kai tried to bring up his brother-in-law.
Chu Mingxuan interrupted coldly, "Tell him to get out too, he's also fired!"
"CEO Chu, I was wrong, don't fire me, and don't fire my brother-in-law..." Cheng Kai even knelt down begging.
"You're not asking me." Chu Mingxuan didn't even look at him.
Cheng Kai immediately knelt towards Li Se and Jiang Ranran, tears and snot streaming down his face, "I was confused, I was an idiot, don't fire me!"
"Get lost!" Li Se had no mercy for this kind of person.
"Dr. Li, there's no need to bother with such trash. Coincidentally, I have something to ask for your help." Chu Mingxuan had been thinking of calling Li Se earlier, but he didn't expect to meet Li Se at this mall.
Li Se nodded. After a simple meal, he left with Chu Mingxuan.
"Dr. Li, is this your girlfriend?" Chu Mingxuan seemed a little surprised. The last time he saw Xia Bingyun, she was also very beautiful, and this one was no less. Indeed, when a person is outstanding, they are never short of beautiful women around them. He was a little envious.
"Yes," Li Se nodded.
"Dr. Li indeed has great fortune," Chu Mingxuan smiled. "Are you working in the mall?"
"Yes, CEO Chu." Jiang Ranran was still a little unaccustomed. Chu Mingxuan was her big boss, so she naturally felt a bit nervous and reserved.
"Heh heh, there's no need to be so reserved." Chu Mingxuan said casually with a smile, "From now on, you'll take over Cheng Kai's position."
"Can I do it?" Jiang Ranran asked in surprise.
"Of course," Chu Mingxuan looked at Jiang Ranran with great confidence.
"Then thank you." Li Se thanked him on behalf of Jiang Ranran, essentially accepting the offer for her.
"It's a small matter," Chu Mingxuan waved his hand.
"Chu Mingxuan, this mall is yours?" Li Se asked in confusion.
"Yes," Chu Mingxuan nodded. "Let's not talk about this. Come, I have something to ask for your help."
"Okay!" Li Se nodded.
Meanwhile, in the mall's cafeteria.
Cheng Kai had not left yet. He sat there, looking dejected, motionless.
At this moment, a figure flashed by like the wind. Upon seeing Cheng Kai, his face was filled with boundless fury, and he delivered a fierce kick.
*Bang!*
"Ah... Who the hell dares to kick me?" Cheng Kai was kicked off his chair and fell to the ground, letting out a scream. His mood was already bad, and he was about to lash out when he looked closely and almost cried, "Brother-in-law, why are you hitting me?"
The person who arrived was Cheng Kai's brother-in-law. He proceeded to punch and kick Cheng Kai, shouting, "You useless piece of trash, I'll beat you to death! It's you who caused me to be fired..."
