1086: Chapter 1087 I Definitely Didn’t Take the Money!
“Slap!”
Xiao Chen slapped the rich girl again, “There’s nothing wrong with being a worker.
What do you mean by ‘stinky worker’?
Without these workers, would you have buildings to live in?
Would you have such beautiful malls to shop in?
Would you be able to travel on smooth roads and streets?
Would you be able to drive cars?”
“Stinky worker, how dare you hit me!”
“Slap!”
This time, the rich girl didn’t finish her sentence before she got another slap across the face.
“Try saying that one more time, and we’ll see if the silicone in your face can protect you.”
Xiao Chen’s gaze was icy cold.
The rich girl shut her mouth.
Xiao Chen’s slap wasn’t particularly hard, but it hurt more than Jiang Meng’s, sending a more piercing pain.
She was genuinely afraid of offending this lunatic and getting beaten to death.
“All you can do is bully an internet celebrity.
I dare you to touch me after I call you a ‘stinky worker’.”
The speaker was a top star from Chaoyang Film, a female lead with a box office of two billion.
She seemed to think that her status was higher than that of internet celebrities, so Xiao Chen wouldn’t dare to touch her.
“Slap!”
But she hadn’t expected Xiao Chen not to hesitate even for a moment; he just went up to her and slapped her across the face.
“Wuuu!”
The female star burst into tears.
She was a big name in the industry,
having never been hit like this before.
The rich girl was also stunned, looking at Xiao Chen incredulously.
She had thought that Xiao Chen was only bullying her because she was an internet celebrity, but to her surprise, he even dared to hit such a big-name star.
He was truly crazy.
“Bastards, who dares hit my people?
Are you tired of living?”
At that moment, a car stopped by the roadside, and an angry shout came from it.
“President Huo, you must stand up for us, this lunatic, he’s hitting people randomly.”
Seeing Huo Nantian arrive, the rich girl stood up from the ground, grasping Huo Nantian’s arm, and cried out her complaint.
The female star and others also embellished and told him what had happened before.
The more Huo Nantian listened, the angrier he became.
He was already in a bad mood after being stifled by Xinmeng Group, and now someone dared to cross him.
Simply asking for death.
“Give me your name; I want to see who has the guts to hit my people.”
Huo Nantian glared at Xiao Chen and roared.
Just a mere security guard, even if a security manager, could he compare with him?
“And what are you?”
Xiao Chen looked at Huo Nantian indifferently, the same person who today at Xinmeng Entertainment claimed they would acquire Xinmeng Entertainment and even threatened his wife.
“That’s right, a lunatic.
Listen well, just the mention of my name will scare you to death.”
Huo Nantian cleared his throat, “I am Huo Nantian, the President of Chaoyang Film under Duanmu Group.
I’ve already signed a contract with President Zhang of Xiao Corporation to shoot a documentary for Xiao Corporation and set up a variety show.”
He wanted to see a look of horror on Xiao Chen’s face.
But he was disappointed after a long wait.
In Xiao Chen’s eyes, there was not a single wave of surprise: “Zhang Jun doesn’t even have the company seal, and he’s signing contracts?
Haven’t you been fooled?
Now go away, the situation has already been cleared up.
You have a grudge, go find Zhang Jun, it has nothing to do with us.”
Huo Nantian started laughing, “You’re just a little security manager who really thinks too highly of yourself.
You say President Zhang doesn’t have the company seal, and so he doesn’t?
Our contract is signed, with white paper and black words, and even has the Xiao Corporation’s seal on it.
But I guess you wouldn’t recognize it, after all, you’re just a nobody.”
“Whether it’s there or not, why don’t you just call him over, and then we’ll know.”
Xiao Chen sneered.
“Who had such audacity to hit my secretary!”
At that moment, a voice carried over.
Zhang Jun had arrived.
Zhang Jun knew Xiao Chen, but from the very beginning, he was unaware that Xiao Chen was the boss of Xiao Corporation.
He only knew that Xiao Chen, like himself, was one of the company’s elders who had left the company later.
“Ha, who do I think it is?
Relying on Bai Xue’s connections, you took the position of security manager and now you look down on everyone else?
Xiao Chen, if you don’t kneel down and apologize to my people today, don’t ever think of working at Xiao Corporation again.”
Zhang Jun looked at Xiao Chen with utter arrogance and said.
“Xiao Corporation isn’t owned by your family, is it?
If you don’t let me work then I just won’t work?
You’re so amazing.”
Xiao Chen retorted sarcastically.
“Hmph, you don’t know, do you?
I co-founded Xiao Corporation with our boss, and if it wasn’t for my noble spirit, half of the company’s shares would be mine.”
Zhang Jun snorted coldly.
Xiao Chen laughed.
This guy was really blowing his own trumpet without bothering to draft a script.
Zhang Jun did have some merits, but there were plenty in the company with older tenure and greater contributions than his, and even some newcomers had long since surpassed him.
Yet he chose to inflate his own importance by boasting.
It was truly both pitiable and laughable.
“President Zhang is right; we must make him kneel and apologize—then let our precious daughter slap him a few times to vent our anger.”
Huo Nantian chimed in.
Xiao Chen looked at these people coldly, especially Zhang Jun, “If you insist on making me kneel to apologize, you might regret it.”
“Hahaha, I will regret it?
Who do you think you are to make me regret anything?
Kneel down, don’t force me to take measures.”
Zhang Jun laughed heartily.
Xiao Chen’s gaze gradually grew colder.
At that instant, Zhang Jun involuntarily retreated several steps, shivering all over.
It was terrifying, those eyes, it was almost as though he intended to devour them whole.
“Heh, impressive courage.”
Xiao Chen chuckled and asked, “Zhang Jun, when you signed the contract with Chaoyang Film, did you report to the Preparatory Committee’s head?”
“I am one of the corporation’s elders; even Bai Xue listens to me.”
Zhang Jun said.
“So you mean you didn’t report it?”
Xiao Chen spoke indifferently, “I’ll ask you again, did you take the Duanmu Family’s money to act on their behalf?”
“You’re talking nonsense; I definitely did not take any money.”
Zhang Jun exclaimed angrily.
“Seeing how agitated you are tells me you did.
Don’t worry, even if you don’t confess, I have ways to find out.”
Xiao Chen stated coldly, “I’ll ask you one final question.
Are you aware that the Duanmu Family allowed these people to enter the construction site with ill intentions?
They aim to pick faults within a perfect situation, then create a BBC-style fake documentary to slander Xiao Corporation.
If they succeed, Xiao Corporation will suffer tremendous loss.
Do you know about this?”
These were the things he had inadvertently let slip while threatening the other party earlier—a slip made by an assistant.
What!
Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment.
Although greedy for money, he truly hadn’t intended to harm Xiao Corporation.
“That’s impossible; the people from Chaoyang Film are all of extremely high quality.
They would never do such a thing; surely, you’re slandering them.”
Zhang Jun said angrily.
But the expressions on Huo Nantian and the others betrayed them, showing obvious guilt.
However, those expressions were fleeting.
Huo Nantian smiled and said, “President Zhang, don’t listen to his nonsense.
Why would we do such a thing?
We would gain nothing by offending Xiao Corporation.”
“Of course, I believe you.”
Rather than saying Zhang Jun believed Huo Nantian, it was more accurate to say he was unwilling to admit he had made a grave error.
