“Why am I hitting you?”
Manager Niu’s face was filled with anger; he desperately needed someone to vent on.
Just then, Manager Zhu arrived, twisting the truth. Manager Niu had no qualms about thoroughly beating this guy to release his pent-up rage.
“You ask me why I’m hitting you? Don’t you have any idea yourself?”
“Although I’ve only met Mu Feng once, I could already tell what kind of person he is. Someone with his disposition wouldn’t be sitting around here spewing nonsense with you lot.”
“And you actually think you're worthy of sitting with Mu Feng?”
“I don’t need to think about it to know you’re the one stirring up trouble. You should know, I detest it when people call me a toad’s mouth. Today, I’m going to beat your face into a toad’s face.”
With every word, his fist landed.
Manager Zhu was pinned to the ground and pummeled. Initially, he could still shield his face, but afterward, he was completely stunned by the assault.
He regretted everything he had done, wishing he could turn back time.
If he had known Manager Niu trusted Mu Feng so much, he wouldn’t have come to twist the narrative.
But there was no turning back in this world. Finally, the security captain pulled Manager Niu away.
“Stop hitting him! If you continue, you’ll actually kill him. Look at what you’ve done to him!”
Manager Niu, while venting his fury, had treated Manager Zhu as Mu Feng, striking with all his might.
Only then did he snap back to reality, looking at the figure groaning on the ground.
He let out a cold snort, “If he dies, it’ll be his own fault.”
“How little must he think of me to utter such foolish words that twist the truth? Any person who becomes a boss is an elite among elites, having risen above countless others. How could they possibly be brainless?”
“Consider this a lesson from me today, teaching you to guard your tongue from now on. Otherwise, one day, you might even lose your life.”
After venting his anger, Manager Niu had also clarified his decision.
He spoke these words to establish his own image because what he was about to do would undoubtedly become tomorrow’s headline.
But he had made his intentions clear in advance. He was a smart man, and if he was smart, then kneeling to enter the door must have a reason.
He wasn’t afraid of the situation escalating. As long as Mu Feng cured him, a little staged controversy would be enough to leave the Su Group in disarray.
He had plenty of tricks up his sleeve. This was merely a temporary humiliation.
With this thought, he didn’t hesitate and, with a bang, knelt on the ground.
He could already feel the pain of the蛊虫 (gǔ chóng - Gu worm) gnawing at him; the internal organ pain far surpassed his external injuries.
And with his kneeling, everyone outside the door was stunned.
His earlier outburst had already attracted many people, including some employees of the Su Group, whose jaws nearly dropped to their feet.
Soon, someone reacted.
“Holy crap… he actually knelt down?”
“I heard earlier that Mu Feng resolved this matter, and the final incident occurred because Manager Zhu mocked him.”
“We all thought Manager Niu would be furious next, but he did get angry, just not at Mu Feng, but at Manager Zhu.”
“What I want to know now is, what kind of background does Mu Feng actually have? I’ve privately called him a gigolo before. What if he finds out about that now, then… wouldn’t that be…”
Everyone’s expression turned somewhat worried.
“From now on, none of us can speak of what we said before, or we’ll be truly finished.”
“It’s better to talk less about Mu Feng. We thought he was a gigolo, but look at him; if he doesn’t act, it’s fine, but when he does, it’s earth-shattering.”
Witnessed by countless employees.
Manager Niu crawled on his knees towards the tenth floor of the building. His knees were already bleeding.
However, this pain meant nothing to him now.
The agony in his internal organs contorted his entire face. At this moment, his only wish was to beg Mu Feng for mercy; he couldn't endure another second.
He was terrified. By the time he reached the office door, tears were streaming down his face.
“Mr. Mu, I’m sorry, I was wrong!”
“Please give me another chance. From now on, I will be your most loyal dog. No matter who you tell me to bite, I will not hesitate to do so.”
As he said this, he was weeping uncontrollably, kneeling on the ground, his head hitting the floor heavily.
It wasn't him forcing his head down; he felt the worm traveling along his blood vessels into his brain.
The intense pain made him involuntarily bang his head against the ground.
His forehead bled after only a few impacts.
The crowd outside, employees who had come to watch the spectacle, were all trembling with fear.
“Don’t kneel outside. Don’t disrupt our company’s normal operations. Come in!”
This statement was like a reprieve to Manager Niu, but he still didn’t dare stand up. He crawled into the office and quickly closed the door.
The employees watching outside exchanged bewildered glances.
At this moment, their hearts were already in turmoil.
Zhang Xiaoyu, with a triumphant expression and an arrogant tilt to her chin, declared, “Didn’t I tell you all earlier that Mu Feng handled this? You didn’t believe me, and now you’re still talking nonsense?”
Everyone’s gaze completely changed.
Initially, they thought Zhang Xiaoyu was a fool, that she was throwing herself at a mere gigolo.
Now, they realized they were the fools. She had already seen Mu Feng’s power.
“Sister Xiaoyu, I didn’t say anything bad about you. I don’t know what happened. I hope you can take care of me more in the future.”
“I didn’t say anything bad about you either. I hope you can guide me more in the future!”
Many displayed fawning smiles.
These were middle and high-level managers within the company. Ordinary employees wouldn't dare to come and watch the commotion during work hours.
Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly felt a sense of emptiness. Her triumphant demeanor vanished.
She was still being misunderstood. But because of the power Mu Feng displayed, these people were now showing such obsequious behavior towards him. Previously, those people had completely ignored her.
She realized that when a person becomes powerful, they stop caring about what others think.
Meanwhile, inside the office.
Manager Niu knelt obediently before the desk, his eyes filled with pleading.
Two silver needles were still stuck in him.
Just these two needles had already alleviated the pain he was experiencing.
Mu Feng said calmly, “Since you know you were wrong, shouldn’t you tell me who was behind you?”
Hearing this, Manager Niu’s expression drastically changed, his face stiffening.
