Chapter Seventeen: The Pitiful Selfie

  The people around heard Xu Si say this and suddenly became quiet.

  "Mr. Xu, this is what you said, don't blame us for being unrighteous if you're not benevolent. All the people in our R&D department have resigned, I wonder how your company can continue to operate?"

  Xu Si also knew the severity of the problem, but at this time, as the boss of the company, she had to calm down.

  Song Jian coldly smiled and said: "Whether the company can continue to operate or not, aren't you concerned? Hmph, it's settled then. President Xu, I'll send you home."

  As he spoke, Song Jian pushed away the crowd and was about to escort Xu Si away.

  "You stupid driver, what are you showing off!"

  Bai Yong was anxious, he was over 30 years old, although he had a Ph.D., but at this age, it was really hard to find a job, especially with this current job, the salary was barely passable. If he were really fired, then he would be in trouble.

  Thinking of this, Pei Yong suddenly pulled Song Jian and said, "You little devil, stop right there! Ah! I remember now, your salary as a driver is 10,000 yuan per month, isn't it?"

  When Bae Yong said this, "Whoa", the surrounding employees were really unhappy.

  The staff in these research departments, their basic monthly salary is just over 4,000, and with quarterly bonuses and year-end bonuses, the average annual salary is just over 10,000. Now a driver's monthly salary is already 10,000, how can they bear it?

  "No way, a small driver, with a monthly salary of 10,000?"

  "Didn't they say the company was short of money? They just laid off two drivers recently, how can his salary still be so high? 10,000 yuan, you could hire four drivers with that."

  "Is that true? Is this news accurate?"

  "Pei Yong grabbed Song Jian's collar and said loudly, 'This news is absolutely accurate. I saw it clearly when I secretly went to check the financial report yesterday. Just now, I didn't think of it, but now that I do... humph! President Xu, you'd better give us an explanation.'"

  Xu Si pushed Pai Yong's arm hard, "Pai Yong, let go of Song Jian quickly! Hurry up!"

  Xu Si wanted to explain, but directly saying that Song Jian was her fiancé was not quite right. Firstly, the relationship had not been confirmed, and secondly, even if he were indeed her fiancé, transferring him to the company as a driver with high salary would be inappropriate.

  Song Jian let out a cold hum and said: "Take away your hand!"

  "Listen up, kid! If you don't clear up these matters today, you're not going anywhere! Mr. Xu, you keep saying it's for the company, but how do you explain this kid's salary issue?" Pei Yong gripped Song Jian's collar tightly.

  Xu thought anxiously and supported Song Jian with one hand, while pushing away Pei Yong with the other.

  Song Jian gently pushed Xu Si aside, then his arm suddenly pressed and turned, followed by a horse step, bowing his body, bending his arm, and rushing towards Pei Yong's chest.

  With a "bang", Bai Yong, who was 1.8 meters tall, was directly knocked flying by Song Jian, and fell to the ground with a thud after flying out of the crowd.

  "Ah..."

  The people around immediately retreated in all directions.

  Xu Si was also stunned. She had always thought that Song Jian was weak and couldn't withstand the wind, but unexpectedly, with just a light touch, he sent the tall and large Pei Yong flying.

  Pei Yong covered his buttocks, lay on the ground, and cried out loudly: "He hit me! He hit me! In today's civilized society, harmonious society, someone still dares to use violence!"

  Xu Si suddenly shook Song Jian's arm, gave him a reproachful look, and then quickly walked to Pei Yong's side, saying: "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, you two quickly help Director Pei up."

  Two young men rushed forward and helped Pei Yong up.

  "What's going on?!"

  This side was in an uproar, and a man's thick voice came from afar.

  Song Jian looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man with a Chinese character face wearing a suit and tie, running quickly towards this side.

  "Xu Si, what's wrong? Is something going on with the company?" The man asked anxiously as soon as he arrived, and then he saw Pei Yong lying on the ground and was slightly stunned.

  Xu Si saw the person coming and slightly furrowed his brow, saying: "Nothing's wrong, no need for Manager Wang to worry."

  Pai Yong, who had just sat up from the ground, heard Xu Si's words and loudly shouted: "How can you say nothing is wrong? Mr. Xu, you deducted our bonuses, isn't this a big deal? And your driver, he hit people, how can someone with such poor quality be worth a salary of 10,000 yuan?"

  The man in the suit next to Xu Si looked at Song Jian out of the corner of his eye after hearing Pei Yong's words, then stood up beside Xu Si and said loudly: "Everyone can rest assured that President Xu will not deduct everyone's bonuses. This way, the bonuses that President Xu owes everyone today will be paid tomorrow, I guarantee it."

  "Who are you?! If Mr. Xu doesn't give us our bonuses tomorrow, we'll come looking for you?!" Pei Yong looked at the man in the suit with disdain.

  The man in the suit patted his own chest and said, "My name is Wang Yang, I am the general manager of Hongyuan Group. Our subsidiary is just nearby, that tall building next to you is it. Hehe, speaking of which, we are quite destined, your company's name is Sifang, ours is Hongyuan, only with diligence can one achieve greatness! Hehe, today I'll put my words here, if President Xu still doesn't pay your company, you all go to my company and ask for it, I'll advance the payment for you! Now are you all at ease?"

  Song Jian stood quietly by, watching Wang Yang's self-performance.

  The people around heard what the man in the suit said and all applauded.

  "Is this really Wang Yang? So stylish!"

  "Yes, I heard recently that a rich young master was pursuing our President Xu, it should be him."

  "Ah! So stylish! If only Wang Yang could chase me, that would be great!" The female researcher beside him gazed at Wang Yang in a daze.

  Wang Yang waved his hand around and then gently said to Xu Si: "Si Si, don't worry, I'm here, it's just a small matter, definitely no problem."

  Xu Si glared at Wang Yang, then said loudly: "Now I'll repeat it again. If anyone wants to get the remaining bonus immediately, come to my office with a resignation report tomorrow. I guarantee that you will not only receive the bonus you deserve but also an additional two months' salary. Also, thank you, Manager Wang, but our company's affairs can still be handled by me, no need for Manager Wang to worry."

  Xu Si quickly finished speaking and waved his hand at Song Jian, saying: "Let's go! Go home!"

  Song Jian smiled lightly and walked in big strides beside Xu Si, taking over the briefcase from Xu Si's hand, and the two people headed towards the Passat in the distance.

  More than twenty employees stood there in a daze.

  Wang Yang's face turned alternately pale and red.

  One of the female researchers quietly approached Wang Yang and whispered: "Manager Wang, look... if I resign, will you take me in?"

  As she spoke, the female researcher blinked her eyes.

  "Take you in to sweep the toilet!" Wang Yang was still fuming and bluntly refused.

  "Hmph! With your narrow-mindedness, you still dare to chase after our President Xu? You're not even worthy of holding President Xu's shoes!" The female researcher was also a sharp-tongued person and immediately retorted with a sentence before turning around and leaving.

  The rest of the researchers saw Xu Si's attitude was tough, and they also left one after another. In fact, the reason why they made trouble was just because they were instigated by Pei Yong. Pei Yong was their team leader, and with a slight stir, these people followed suit. To be fair, they could get the current salary, which is not low.

  Soon, only Bae Yong and Wang Yang were left in the arena.

  Bai Yong looked around and saw that there was no one nearby, then said in a low voice: "Manager Wang, the remaining 10,000 yuan should be mine now."

  Wang Yang stretched out his foot and kicked Pei Yong fiercely, saying: "Get out of here! Look at you, you actually let a driver steal the show!"

  He can't rely on it anymore, he pulled Wang Yang's pants and said: "Manager Wang, you promised that as long as I made a big noise and let General Xu lose face, you would take the opportunity to mediate, and you would give me 20,000 yuan. Now I've made enough noise, and you've mediated, do you still want to welch on the deal?"

  Wang Yang kicked Pei Yong away with one foot, "You've made a big fuss, but you've lost all my men!"

  Wang Yang cursed angrily.

  Pei Yong dragged Wang Yang's pants, "That's none of my business now. I told you, I'm done making trouble, and I'll probably be fired and lose my job. If you still want to shirk responsibility, be careful that I'll expose our deal to President Xu!"

  Wang Yang spat and said, "Damn it, you really have no shame. I don't know where you stole this doctoral title from."

  As he spoke, Wang Yang threw a bundle of banknotes on the ground, "This is your money. We're even now! I'm warning you, if you ever mention today's events to anyone, I'll make sure you die without knowing how!"

  Wang Yang said fiercely and put his hands in his pockets, walking towards the distant Land Rover.

  Bai Yong picked up the banknotes on the ground and grasped them tightly in his hand, a tear seeping out from the corner of his eye.

  Pei Yong hastily raised his hand, fiercely rubbing the corners of his eyes, got up from the ground, spat, and muttered in a low voice: "What are you crying about? You're a man! Even if you're worthless, you still have to act like a man!"

  "Hey, dear, how was your day? Did you listen to the doctor and nurse?... Don't worry, I'll be off work soon and come keep you company... Yeah, yeah, good news, the company is giving out bonuses tomorrow! And guess what, our boss rewarded me an extra 20,000 yuan for my hard work!... Mmm, mmm, dear, wait for me at the hospital, okay?"

  Hanging up the phone, Bae Yong returned to the company, changed his clothes, rode his electric bike, and headed towards Sanfu Hospital.

  In the Passat, Xu Si's face was still gloomy.

  Song Jian drove the steering wheel and comforted: "Don't think too much, be happy during non-working hours. The company will have a turning point."

  Xu sighed, shook his head and said: "I'm not only worried about the company, but also heartbroken. I've always held Pei Yong in high esteem. Alas, I didn't expect him to do something like this today."

  Song Jian stretched out his left hand, wanting to touch Xu Si's hair to comfort her, but stopped halfway... This action wouldn't make Xu Si suspicious, would it?

  Xu Si pretended not to see Song Jian's hand and continued: "However, Pei Yong is also very responsible for the company. This 'One Stroke White' project was actually designed by Pei Yong, and at that time, the project department had carefully examined it. Everyone thought highly of this project, but unexpectedly, a difficult problem appeared at the last minute. Ah, this matter really can't be blamed on Pei Yong, he did his best. Giving him a bonus is indeed deserved."

  Song Jian's hand patted Xu Si's shoulder lightly and said, "Don't be sad, go home and be happy, thinking about work all day will make people old."

  Xu Si turned his head and took a glance at Song Jian, who immediately withdrew his arm.

  Xu Si didn't dodge, she felt a bit strange in her heart. She clearly saw Song Jian wanting to pat her shoulder, but from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to dodge anymore. Moreover, why was she rambling on about company matters to Song Jian? This carefree guy definitely wouldn't like listening to these things.

  Xu Sizheng adjusted his seatbelt and said, "You're right, I didn't think it through. Anyway, thanks for today, Song Jian."

  Song Jian smiled slightly and the car sped quickly towards Jinxiu's home.

  Thank you everyone, it has already entered the new book ranking list. Although it's in last place. Hehe, but I'm really happy now. Thank you everyone. Please vote for recommendations. Thank you thank you.
