Chapter 14 He's In No Way A good Person
"General Manager Zhang, I... I... I admit that I was foolish for only focusing on the benefits. But the contract we signed with the other party was a temporary contract, so Yuntian Network can unilaterally terminate it at any time!"
Yang Di said.
But the cold sweat that started to appear on his face and the distorted voice were enough to indicate that it was not as simple as it sounded.
"Temporary contract? Isn't this clearly an effort to leave a backdoor for yourself? To intentionally leave a backdoor for yourself, is that an action of a fool?"
Ye Chen said nonchalantly at the side.
Zhang Jingshan had clearly realised this too.
Turning towards Chen Yinuo, he asked, "Miss Chen, what did Yang Di say during your contract renewal negotiations with him?"
Hearing Zhang Jingshan's question, Yang Di's legs instantly gave way. If it was not for the sharp eye and quick action of the security guards in holding him up, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Whew!!!"
There was no immediate response.
As if she was summoning a great deal of courage, Chen Yinuo let out a deep breath and responded, "Manager Yang said that as long as I promise to accompany him, he will agree to the contract renewal. Otherwise, there was no deal!"
Although the words "accompany him" were said lightly, everyone knew what it really means!
Once these words were out, Yang Di's face instantly turned white as snow.
"Yang Di, I'll fucking kill you!"
Like a raging beast, Zhang Jingshan, who was known to be a temperamental man, bellowed. He could no longer suppress his anger.
He raised his foot and violently kicked Yang Di in the abdomen!
At that moment, the two bodyguards who were holding up Yang Di let go of him unconsciously.
With a loud cry, Yang Di's slightly obese body crashed into the front desk and he landed on his butt.
"Go, call the finance department now and settle Yang Di's salary immediately!"
Zhang Jingshan said while pointing his finger at the two frightened receptionists who were staring dumbfounded behind the front desk.
It seemed that it was not enough to allay his anger.
Zhang Jingshan looked at the dumbstruck security guards, "Why are you still standing there doing nothing? Throw him out immediately! From now on, Yang Di doesn't exist in Yunshan Network anymore!"
"Yes, at once, Mr. Zhang!"
The security guards trembled and quickly moved towards Yang Di in a panic.
When it came to things like saving their own skin, no coercion was needed. Not to mention, the security guards had already despised Yang Di for always lording over the common employees in the company from his high horse.
It was only because of Yang Di's position in the company, that the security guards had to put on a facade and lick his boots.
"I made a mistake, General Manager Zhang! I made a mistake!"
"Please give me a second chance, I promise it won't happen again!"
"General Manager Zhang, General Manager Zhang!"
Yang Di whimpered and howled.
But Zhang Jingshan was not moved by Yang Di's pleas.
Instead, he hollered at the security guards, "Get rid of him immediately!"
Only after Yang Di was thrown out of the company, did Zhang Jingshan calm down slightly.
With a very sincere tone, he turned towards Chen Yinuo and said.
"Miss Chen, I'm sorry. I was negligent! I will give an explanation to your president about this matter!"
"It's alright, General Manager Zhang. Can we then resume with the signing of the promotion contract renewal?"
Having been beaten down by life countless times, Chen Yinuo was no fazed by anything at this point.
She only wanted to keep her job.
And to keep her job, she had to have that contract renewal signed.
"Of course, it can be signed right now. I'll even sign myself! Did you bring the drawn-up contract along?" Zhang Jingshan asked.
"Great, great! Yes, of course!" Chen Yinuo excitedly pulled out the contract in a hurry.
Zhang Jingshan took it without even taking a glance at it.
He went straight to the front desk, picked up a pen, and penned down his signature.
After that, he handed the contract back to Chen Yinuo, "Miss Chen, you can take it to the commercial department on the fourth floor and have them stamp on it!"
"Thank you!"
Chen Yino bowed deeply with warm tears in her eyes.
Throughout the whole exchange, she did not give Ye Chen a single glance.
It did not occur to her that she would not have had the chance to meet Zhang Jingshan if it was not for Ye Chen. What more getting the promotion contract signed so easily. Instead, she would likely have had to suffer Yang Di's abuse and be kicked out of Yuntian Network's office premise!
Then again, it was not surprising that she did not realize that, as her bitter hatred for Ye Chen has grown and taken root in her heart in the past few years.
Just as she brushed past Zhang Jingshan, she stopped in her tracks and went, "General Manager Zhang, he is in no way a good person, don't be fooled by him!"
Chen Yinuo hurried to the lift after she said that.
Ye Chen had a pained expression on his face, while Zhang Jingshan was stunned by what Chen Yinuo said.
"That 'he', was she talking about Ye Chen?" Zhang Jingshan wondered to himself.
Was he, Zhang Jingshan, being made a fool? He was fooled out of what?
The only interaction he had with Ye Chen was regarding the Buddhist prayer beads!
Even if the Buddhist prayer beads were fake, it would not have been Ye Chen's doing, but Lu Cheng who had fooled him!
"Mr. Ye, are... are both of you really husband and wife?" Zhang Jingshan said with a puzzled expression.
Ye Chen did not offer an explanation. Instead, he responded, "I apologize for the embarrassing scene you had to witness, General Manager Zhang."
"It's fine, let's go. I was in a hurry when I came down just now that I forgot to bring the money along. Come up with me!" Zhang Jingshan said.
"OK!"
...
In the office, Zhang Jingshan smiled as he handed a relatively large paper bag to Ye Chen.
He said, "Here, three hundred thousand dollars in the paper bag. Count it!"
"That won't be necessary, I trust General Manager Zhang!"
He took the paper bag and held it under his arm and turned around to take his leave.
Before he took a step, he said, "Thank you, General Manager Zhang!"
"Huh? What was that for? Shouldn't I be the one to thank you?" Zhang Jingshan said, amused.
"Thank you for helping Yinuo out and signing that contract, at least she can go back and hand it in without any problems!" Ye Chen said.
Zhang Jingshan was noncommittal, "No, I should be the one to thank you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have known that there was a black sheep lurking in the company causing trouble! Also, Mr. Ye, I know that the Buddhist beads are worth more than three hundred thousand dollars. I'm sure you are aware of that too. Because of your easygoingness in this deal, I will not be pretentious and compensate you more. But I will say this, I owe you a favor. If you need any help in the future, you can look for me. I'll help you!"
When Ye Chen, who planned to leave, heard these words, he stopped in his tracks again.
After a moment of thought, he said, "General Manager Zhang, your company has quite a few beautiful anchorwomen under it, right?"
Swish...
Zhang Jingshan's face changed slightly at his words, "Yes, why?"
"It's nothing. I just wanted to warn you that lust is often a trap. As our ancestors said, the Chinese character for lust has a sword at the top. But as men, not many of us can resist the temptation of lust. So when you are being tempted by lust, it's best to keep an eye out and avoid falling into the trap yourself!"
Initially, Ye Chen did not intend to interfere with Zhang Jingshan's fate, but he was thankful for what Zhang Jingshan had done in the lobby. So he decided to leave a warning for Zhang Jingshan as a way of saying thank you.
That warning would be the key to reversing Zhang Jingshan's fate! However, the warning could only do so much. As to whether he comprehended it or believed in it, it was up to him alone.
"What do you mean, Mr. Ye?" Zhang Jingshan furrowed his brow.
There were quite a few female anchors in Yunshan Network Company. There were even more who wanted to sleep with him.
But there was only one with who he had a secret relationship. It was none other than Yi, their number one female anchor.
Could it be that Yi would be the one that will entrap him?
How could it be!
"No particular meaning. It's just that I noticed your Yintang, the acupuncture point between your eyebrows, does not look quite right. My guts tell me that you may be in a dangerous affair. Whether you believe it or not, it's up to you!" Ye Chen smiled and said.
"So you are a fortune teller now?" Zhang Jingshan said. He was unimpressed.
"Again, as I said, believe it or not, it's up to you. I'll take my leave now!"
Taking the paper bag that was bulging with three hundred thousand dollars in it, Ye Chen strode out of the office.
Behind him, Zhang Jingshan kept quiet, he did not call out to Ye Chen again.
But the expression on his face was gradually becoming grave.
"Can Ye Chen's words be trusted?"
Zhang Jingshan did not know.
But Ye Chen's unsettling aura, coupled with Chen Yinuo's warning, had invariably made the rich young man feel conflicted.
