When Ye Cangtian arrived at the Haitain Building, he was indeed more than half an hour late!
As Liu Han was about to leave for a delivery, he saw Ye Cangtian and hurried over, saying, "Brother Ye, you're in trouble. Manager Wang wants to fire you!"
Since Ye Cangtian had just started working yesterday but had been absent for the entire afternoon and was late again this morning, the manager of the transportation department, Manager Wang, was naturally very displeased.
"Heh heh, it's fine!" Ye Cangtian was unconcerned. Did a mere transportation department manager want to fire him? That was impossible!
Moreover, even if he wanted to be fired, wouldn't Tang Xinwan, that girl, agree?
Ye Cangtian, with a smile, was about to walk towards the transportation department when he spotted a police car slowly approaching in the distance and stopping at the entrance of the Haitain Building.
Seeing a familiar figure emerge from the car, his eyes lit up, and he smiled, saying, "Beautiful police officer, we meet again. Are you looking for me?"
Xu Weiwei looked up and glanced at Ye Cangtian, thinking: This guy is indeed here!
However, seeing his flippant and smiling demeanor made her a little unhappy. She snorted and said, "I'm here to see Miss Tang. What are you doing here?"
"This is my wife's company. Is it strange for me to be here?" Ye Cangtian grinned.
"You?" Xu Weiwei didn't believe him at all. This guy was full of nonsense; not a word of it was true.
At this moment, Liu Han's voice came from behind, saying to Ye Cangtian, "Brother Ye, I'm leaving now. Say some nice words to Manager Wang for me. Maybe he won't fire you!"
"Go ahead!" Ye Cangtian waved his hand.
Soon, Liu Han got into a transport truck and began his delivery.
Xu Weiwei pouted dismissively, "You're clearly working here but insisting on boasting. I think you're beyond help! Little Liu, let's go!"
"Don't believe me?" Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow.
"I can't be bothered with you. I'll settle accounts with you later for yesterday's business!" Xu Weiwei snorted and walked directly towards the lobby of the Haitain Building.
Regarding the robbery at the bank building yesterday, although Ye Cangtian had ultimately turned the tide, resolving the situation with the robbers and preventing many casualties, Xu Weiwei still harbored strong suspicions about this guy. However, her visit to the Haitain Building today was primarily to take a statement from Tang Xinwan, so she really didn't have time to deal with him now.
Ye Cangtian shook his head helplessly. He was telling the truth, yet no one believed him.
He lit a cigarette, shook his head, and sauntered towards the transportation department.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the transportation department, he saw the middle-aged, portly Manager Wang. Upon seeing Ye Cangtian, the latter immediately sneered, "Ye Cangtian, why are you still here? Absent without leave on your first day of work, you're really something! Fine, don't say anything else, just get out!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "Manager Wang wants to fire me?"
"What? Don't I have this authority? Do you expect me to give an employee like you, who shows no respect for company discipline, another chance?" Manager Wang snorted.
"No, no, no. If Manager Wang can really fire me, then I thank you!"
Ye Cangtian's smile was brilliant. If that girl Tang Xinwan hadn't played a trick with the contract, he wouldn't have been working as a mere porter in this transportation department!
So, it would be a good thing if they could fire him!
Manager Wang said contemptuously, "Who do you think you are? Can't fire you? Let me tell you, get out quickly, or I'll have security escort you out!"
"You said it yourself!" Ye Cangtian said with a smile, then took out his phone and dialed Tang Xinwan.
"Something?" Tang Xinwan asked coldly from the other end of the line.
"I've been fired!" Ye Cangtian said directly.
"Who wants to fire you?"
"Your transportation department's Manager Wang!"
"Give him the phone, I'll talk to him!"
Ye Cangtian handed the phone to Manager Wang, shrugging helplessly, "Here, Tang Xinwan wants to speak to you personally!"
Manager Wang sneered mockingly, "Ha! I've seen plenty of your kind of connections. Tang Xinwan? Don't know her!"
"Did you hear that? He doesn't know you and won't talk to you!" Ye Cangtian said smilingly to Tang Xinwan on the phone.
"Then tell him to pack his things and leave!" Tang Xinwan, having clearly heard Manager Wang's words, said through gritted teeth and hung up immediately.
Ye Cangtian sighed helplessly. Before leaving, he gave Manager Wang a regretful look, "It's your bad luck to not even know your company's chairman's name. You deserve to be fired!"
"What do you mean, who's been fired?" Manager Wang suddenly realized something was wrong.
He quickly thought of their company chairman's name, which was 'Tang Xinwan'. Could this kid have just called the chairman?
Impossible! What was the chairman's status? How could she know this kid?
Manager Wang's expression changed slightly, but he didn't dare to believe it was true. Looking at Ye Cangtian's retreating back, he gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, who are you trying to scare?"
And at the very next moment!
His phone rang. He quickly picked it up and said subserviently, "Director Zhou, what are your instructions? What! I'm fired?"
The phone accidentally slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
Manager Wang stood at the entrance of the transportation department in a daze. He couldn't fathom that he had been fired just like that.
...
In the chairman's office!
Tang Xinwan was cooperating with the police in taking a statement. After all, she was one of the more than thirty hostages in the bank building yesterday, so she had to cooperate with the police for these procedures.
Xu Weiwei glanced at the content of the statement and saw that it was similar to what other hostages had described. She nodded and then suddenly asked, "Miss Tang, one more question: what is your relationship with Ye Cangtian?"
"This... is it related to the bank robbery case?" Tang Xinwan frowned.
"It's not particularly related to the bank robbery case. If it's inconvenient for Miss Tang to say, then it's fine!" Xu Weiwei said with a dry laugh, feeling a bit speechless. Why was she asking such things in a daze? Did she really believe what that guy said?
Just then, the office door opened.
Ye Cangtian walked in with a smile and said, "Officer Xu, don't ask anymore. Xinwan and I are officially engaged, right, wife!"
Tang Xinwan gritted her teeth, glared, and said, "What are you doing here?"
"Heh heh, you were scared yesterday, and now I'm worried they might upset you?" Ye Cangtian said with a sheepish smile.
"You..." Xu Weiwei's eyes widened in disbelief.
Engaged? This guy was really Tang Xinwan's fiancé?
She hadn't believed it at first, but seeing that Tang Xinwan didn't refute it, Xu Weiwei knew that it was probably true!
Seeing Ye Cangtian's triumphant look, Xu Weiwei gnashed her teeth, then thought of something and couldn't help but curl her lips. She said, "I was wondering why you didn't come home last night. So, you were at Miss Tang's house! You made me worry if you had encountered any danger!"
"Hmm?"
Tang Xinwan looked at Xu Weiwei suspiciously, then at Ye Cangtian, a hint of something strange flashing in her eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Weiwei quickly said, "Miss Tang, please don't misunderstand. Ye Cangtian and I are just neighbors!"
Damn it! This girl is absolutely doing it on purpose!
Ye Cangtian could feel Tang Xinwan's sharp gaze sweeping over him, and he was instantly speechless!
