Chapter 13: Kneel
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Xiong and Wang Tong were busy transporting the bricks when Madam Bao walked over towards them out of the blue. She told Ye Xiong, “You two, head to the Finance Department to collect your money now.”
“What’s going on Madam Bao?” Wang Tong was shocked.
“Do you realize you’ve offended someone? Go quickly and stop asking so many questions.” Madam Bao hushed.
Wang Tong was certain that his sister had used her authority to secretly pull some strings. He was extremely furious as he strode to the office building. He walked as he spoke, “I’ll discuss this with her. She can make me go away but, Brother Xiong, I can’t let you get involved.”
“Let’s leave together. I don’t feel like staying here anymore anyway.” Ye Xiong flipped the cart as he wiped his hands.
As the two were walking to the office building, a figure suddenly appeared before them. It was none other than Wang Shu. She stared at Ye Xiong with a smug look on her face.
“I told you. Nothing good comes out of offending me.” Wang Shu laughed.
Ye Xiong exploded instantly. He turned around and asked Wang Tong, “Do you mind if I teach her a lesson?”
Wang Tong shook his head. At this point, he was utterly disappointed with his sister.
Wang Shu laughed out loud when she heard Ye Xiong said that he wanted to teach her a lesson. It was as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
“Go take a p*ss and look at yourself in the mirror. You? Teach me a lesson?”
Ye Xiong took out his phone and called Yang Xinyi.
“If there’s something, say it quickly.” President Yang’s cold voice came from the other end of the phone.
“I want you to fire someone for me,” Ye Xiong said indifferently.
“I won’t fire company staff just because you want me to. That isn’t my style.” Yang Xinyi rejected him immediately.
“If that’s the case, our promise is now canceled.” Ye Xiong hung up immediately.
Wang Tong and Wang Shu were listening to Ye Xiong and found what he said rather strange. However, Wang Shu could not stop herself from bursting into boisterous laughter when she saw Ye Xiong’s request get rejected.
“There are only a few people in the entire Yangshi Group 1 that can fire me!”
Ye Xiong’s phone rang the instant she finished speaking. It was Yang Xinyi’s voice.
“I’ll only help you once. There won’t be a next time. Tell me her name.”
“Wang Shu from the Sales Department.”
“She’ll leave the company in ten minutes.” Yang Xinyi was incredibly straightforward as she hung up.
Wang Shu was bothered by the bad feeling Ye Xiong’s words had given her. However, on second thought, she was working under the Sales Department’s Deputy General Manager. No one had the authority to fire her except for the company’s President or the Sales Department’s General Manager.
She wanted to see just how hard he would fail.
Then, her phone rang. It was Yang Bin’s number.
“Wang Shu, you b*tch. I’m in trouble because of you.”
“Watch your words, Yang Bin.” Wang Shu was furious. “What happened?”
“President Yang called me personally and wants you to leave within ten minutes. You need to get your stuff and leave immediately. I’m in serious trouble because of you. President Yang warned me that I’ve used my authority for personal gain, bent the rules for my female Secretary. I’m now suspended, and an investigation awaits me.” On the other end of the phone, Yang Bin was incredibly furious.
Wang Shu’s hand trembled when she heard what he said. Her phone nearly fell to the ground.
She looked at Ye Xiong in disbelief.
She never imagined that this useless construction worker could call Yang Xinyi and the latter would follow his orders immediately.
How was that even possible? One was a President and the other was a lowly construction worker. How could they be related at all?
Yet, the truth was right in front of her. She had no choice but to believe it.
“I’m sorry, I was too impulsive earlier. Please give me another chance.” Wang Shu walked over and pulled Ye Xiong’s shirt.
This job was immensely important to her as she had made great sacrifices to get it. She had sacrificed her body to win over Yang Bin. It had taken significant effort and she could not lose it, no matter what.
“Chances aren’t given by others. You have to fight to earn them,” Ye Xiong responded coldly.
“I’m begging you, please give me one more chance. I promise that I’ll never mess with you two ever again.” Seeing that Ye Xiong would not budge, Wang Shu immediately walked towards Wang Tong as tears dripped down from her eyes. “Brother, you’ve treated me well ever since we were young. This job pays me tens of thousands of dollars per month, it’s able to buy you a lot of good food as well as support mother’s living expenses. I must have this job.”
“Go beg Brother Xiong for it,” Wang Tong said coldly.
“Ye Xiong, I beg of you. Please give the President a call and tell her to let me off the hook. Just this once.”
“If you want to beg, kneel!” Ye Xiong said callously.
Since she had stepped on another person’s dignity earlier, Ye Xiong wanted her to have a taste of someone stepping on her dignity.
Thud!
Wang Shu immediately kneeled in front of Ye Xiong without any hesitation.
“I’ll kneel for you. I beg of you, let me off the hook just this once. I’ll do anything, even give you my body.”
Ye Xiong was even more unforgiving towards people who tried to reach the top by any means necessary. Had she not been Wang Tong’s sister, he would have slapped her twice.
“You’ve got to earn your dignity. It’s not something given by others.”
Ye Xiong grabbed Wang Tong and left, leaving Wang Shu kneeling on the ground all alone. Her gaze was filled with intense hatred.
Wang Tong was silent when they went back to their dormitory to pack their things. It seemed that he had yet to recover from the emotional incident earlier.
After all, she was her biological sister. Although she was very shameless, she was still blood-related to him. He could not just ignore her.
“I’m sorry, I was making a blank demand earlier. I didn’t expect her to actually kneel,” Ye Xiong explained.
“I don’t even know how she became like that.” Wang Tong sighed, trying not to recall the incident. He turned around and asked. “Brother Xiong, are we really leaving this place?”
“Naturally.”
“But I don’t know anything. I’m afraid I might not be able to bring back meals to my…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure there’s food on your plate if you follow me. You’ll get to spend money and there’s even a pretty lady too… The lady is someone you’ll have to chase after yourself though.” Ye Xiong laughed.
“Brother Xiong, did you really call Yang Xinyi earlier?” Wang Tong asked curiously.
“Yeah.”
“What is your relationship with her?”
“I’ve already told you, she’s my wife.”
“And my wife is Zhang Ziyi!” Wang Tong rolled his eyes as he did not believe him at all.
After they finished packing, they opened the door and just as they were about to leave, they saw a fat middle-aged man in colorful attire loitering around outside. Who else could he be other than Yang Bin?
“You two have finally come out.” Yang Bin smiled vaguely as he greeted the two.
“What wind has blown the Sales Deputy General Manager here.”
“Nothing much. I’m here to talk with you guys.” Yang Bin laughed.
Ye Xiong coughed as he spat a mouthful of viscous saliva onto the chair beside him which was completely covered with dust.
He then pulled the chair over and placed it in front of Yang Bin. He then said nonchalantly, “Deputy General Manager Yang, let’s sit down and talk.”
