Chapter 41 That's a Different Matter
Could Wang Tao's words be trusted?
Li Changfeng could easily discern that Wang Tao must be confusing right and wrong.
Although he did not know Ye Chen for long, he did have some understanding of Ye Chen's character.
A person like Ye Chen would never beat people up easily.
Subconsciously, Li Changfeng wanted to speak up for Ye Chen.
However, he saw Ye Chen slightly shake his head silently.
Li Changfeng immediately put away his thought of addressing Ye Chen.
At the same time, Chen Yinuo was anxious to explain.
"General Manager Li, it's nothing like what he said. He's confusing right and wrong! He did the same in the company last time. It's the second time now!"
"Team Leader Chen, tell me. What's going on?" asked Li Changfeng with a deep voice.
"General Manager Li, Deputy General Manager Wang is dissatisfied with my promotion. He created a rumor in the company and slandered me, claiming that I had used illegal and dishonorable ways in exchange for a promotion. I endured it! Now me and my hus..."
Chen Yinuo forcefully put away the thought of addressing Ye Chen as her husband.
She then continued and said, "Now Ye Chen and I are eating here. Unfortunately, we bumped into him. He ran over and said something strange. Then he used the same trick that he used at the company to slander me. His underlying meaning was that I have something to do with the president of Yun Shan Network. That's why I could renew the advertising contract and gain a promotion. He even made use of this to humiliate Ye Chen. Ye Chen was infuriated, so he beat him up!"
Li Changfeng did not manage to say anything yet.
Zhang Jingshan, who had just rushed there, heard that.
He was soon stunned.
Why was he implicated?
Not only was Chen Yinuo slandered, but Zhang Jingshan was slandered too.
"How did I slander you? Did I say anything about you and General Manager Zhang? Did I mention any names?"
When Wang Tao saw Li Changfeng's gloomy expression and Zhang Jingshan's arrival, he soon panicked.
"Changfeng, I heard that this guy's aunt is your aunt too. Is that right?" Zhang Jingshan asked with a deep voice.
"That's a different matter!" Li Changfeng did not appear like he was being put in a dilemma.
Undeniably, he would believe Chen Yinuo if he had to choose between Wang Tao and Chen Yinuo.
He knew what a person Wang Tao was.
Relying on his bit of capability and so-called kinship, Wang Tao put up a cocky bureaucratic air in the company.
But Li Changfeng endured it in the past. He also endured it even when he knew that Wang Tao had purposely made things difficult for Chen Yinuo previously.
He wanted to find a time and have a good chat with him. He wanted to ask Wang Tao to keep a low profile and restrain himself if Wang Tao still wanted to continue working at Hua Xing Commerce.
But before he could have a nice chat with Wang Tao, such an incident had happened.
He could no longer hold himself back!
Ye Chen saved his life, and Chen Yinuo was Ye Chen's wife. Zhang Jingshan was his best buddy.
However, not only did that fellow slander Chen Yinuo, but he also humiliated Ye Chen, and he even slandered Zhang Jingshan.
Wang Tao's aunt was his aunt too.
But even if Wang Tao addressed his mother as his aunt, Li Changfeng would punish his relative if justice demanded it.
"That's a different matter, right? Alright. Thanks, dude!" Zhang Jingshan nodded.
He then strode toward Wang Tao.
"General... General Manager Zhang, General Manager Zhang!" Wang Tao stammered.
However, Zhang Jingshan did not heed him.
He grabbed Wang Tao's hair with one hand, and he slapped Wang Tao vigorously with the other.
"Motherfucker! What a vicious mouth you have!
"Motherfucker! How dared you slandered me!"
He slapped Wang Tao repeatedly.
Being slapped, Wang Tao did not dare to resist at all.
"General Manager Zhang, I was wrong!
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry!
"General Manager Zhang!
"General Manager Zhang!"
Zhang Jingshan was unmoved as he continued slapping Wang Tao.
On the other hand, Li Changfeng turned away.
After slapping Wang Tao more than ten times in a row, only did Zhang Jingshan let go of Wang Tao.
He then turned around and heaved a long sigh.
He looked toward Chen Yinuo. "Mr. Ye, Miss Chen, I'm sorry. I didn't expect the contract that we signed last time would have caused you guys such trouble like this!"
"General Manager Zhang, you've exaggerated it. I can't even thank you enough. If you didn't sign the contract previously, I'm afraid that I would have been fired after I went back. Then I would have lost my job now!" said Chen Yinuo hurriedly.
However, Ye Chen quietly gave Zhang Jingshan a look.
The latter also acted sensibly and did not dare to say too much in front of Chen Yinuo.
After Zhang Jingshan gave a nod, he turned to look at Li Changfeng.
"Changfeng, how can you still keep this kind of person at your company? Is it just because his aunt is your aunt too? He's a despicable man, and he's the Deputy General Manager. That's quite an influential and powerful post. Be careful that he may entrap you one day. Then you'll be filled with regret!"
When Wang Tao heard Zhang Jingshan's words, he paled in endless panic.
He had yet to speak up.
Some rapid footsteps could be heard.
Several police officers in the nearby area swiftly walked over.
"Who called the police? Who beat people up?"
The leading police officer asked loudly in an imposing manner.
"It's just a misunderstanding. Please go back!"
Zhang Jingshan turned around and said so to the police officers who appeared.
"Ugh... Young... Young Master Zhang?"
When the police officers saw that it was Zhang Jingshan, they felt bewildered.
As for that grandson of the old clerk, not only the police officers, but many people from all trades in Jiang Zhou knew him too.
Although the old clerk had retired for many years, his public reputation and character were known to others. In Jiang Zhou, people from all trades would more or less pay him some respect. Naturally, that kind of respect was given to Zhang Jingshan too.
"Why did you address me as a young master? Nonsense! I'm not a young master at all. Don't give me such a high compliment. I'm way less than the level of a young master!"
Zhang Jingshan raised his disapproval.
He then pointed at Wang Tao. "This idiot called the police. As for whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you can ask him!"
"Mister, did you call the police?" The police officer looked at Wang Tao's greatly swollen face. Frowning, he asked Wang Tao.
"No, it's a misunderstanding. I'm sorry that I've troubled you guys!"
Even if Wang Tao was quite daring, he did not dare to make a mountain out of a molehill at that moment.
"Are you sure that it's a misunderstanding? Is it fine?" asked the police officer again.
"Yes, I'm sure. I'm fine. Really!" replied Wang Tao hurriedly.
"Alright. But I've to remind you about one thing. Don't call the police casually in the future. Strictly speaking, you launched a false police report. You've wasted the police force of our public security system!" said the leading police officer with a deep voice.
"Yes, alright. I was wrong!" Wang Tao nodded repeatedly.
Hearing that, only then did the police officers leave.
But before they left, they did not greet Zhang Jingshan either.
Although they respected Senior Zhang, they did not have to fawn on them and be scared that they would be dissatisfied.
It was just like what happened with that police incident. If Wang Tao, the party concerned, did not insist that it was just a misunderstanding, they would strictly fulfill their obligation. As for the rest, they would talk about it when they returned to the police station.
After they saw that the police officers had left, Chen Yinuo was finally relieved.
However, although she was relieved, Wang Tao still could not rest assured.
Shivering, he looked at Li Changfeng in trepidation. "General... General Manager Li, I..."
Li Changfeng did not give Wang Tao the chance to finish his words.
He shook his head and interrupted Wang Tao. "You don't have to say anything anymore. Go back and pack up your things. Leave Hua Xing Commerce! If you're incapable, I can give you a chance. But if your character and morality are bad, I don't dare to handle that, and I can't afford to deal with that either!"
