A Life of Financial Freedom

Ordinary people always fantasize about financial freedom, beautiful women, luxury cars, yachts... However, compared to all these material things, Chu Fang desires a sincere relationship even more, ...

Chapter 590 Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey

In the morning, the sun rises.

He Yi buttoned up her husband's shirt, then looked him up and down, quite satisfied.

"Baby, you're still so handsome."

In He Yi's heart, Wu Di is the most handsome, and no one in the world can compare to him.

Wu Di asked with a smile, "What bag have you got your eye on this time?"

"Did I compliment you on your looks just so you'd buy me a handbag? How could you think of me like that? I'm so disappointed in you!"

He Yi glared at him angrily, then grabbed Wu Di's arm and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "How come you always understand my thoughts so well? Are you a mind reader?"

Wu Di smiled and agreed to buy his wife the bag, to which she cheered with joy.

"Yay!"

Seeing He Yi so happy, Wu Di's anxiety lessened considerably these past few days.

Every time I feel wronged at work, I can find relief at home. He Yi provides me with excellent emotional support.

“Phew… …” Wu Di thought to himself, “What are the grievances I suffered at the company compared to this?”

After breakfast, the two parted ways.

When Wu Di arrived at the company, he saw a group of young men and women at the entrance and casually asked, "Who are these people?"

"They're here to apply for a job," a colleague replied, a deep worry etched on his brow. "The industry is already highly competitive, and now that we're hiring, the competition is even fiercer."

"It's tough," another colleague sighed.

Just then, the manager, 'Rakshasa,' walked in, and many colleagues lowered their heads.

The manager placed the file on Wu Di's desktop: "You guys are working on this project. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so hurry up."

After the manager left, several colleagues around him snorted.

"Pah! They have no skills of their own, all they know is how to exploit us."

"Bastard, son of a bitch."

“... ..."

"Stop complaining, work is the priority," Wu Di said softly as he distributed the files to several colleagues.

"Wu Di, you have such a good attitude."

"Me? If I weren't married, I would quit my job immediately. It's a pity I'm married now, and the pressure of life is great," Wu Di said with a smile.

"See? I told you marriage is a man's grave. Wu Di used to be so arrogant, but now he's behaved himself."

Wu Di replied, "I'd like to."

After chatting for a few minutes, the group started working and continued until noon.

After finishing lunch, Wu Di immediately went to the jewelry store.

There's a good chance Chu Fang's ring is coming soon, so he needs to keep an eye on it. He was the one who took Chu Fang to that jewelry store, and Chu Fang trusted him, which is why he spent a million.

He had to live up to Chu Fang's trust.

Master Cheng was not surprised to see him: "You've come."

Wu Di comes every day these days.

Wu Di joked with a smile, "I'm here to learn Master Cheng's skills."

"My skills are not so easy to learn by stealing."

Master Cheng focused his energy on design, while Wu Di watched quietly from the side.

"Phew... finally done." Master Cheng Li finished the last stroke and asked Wu Di, "You've been coming here these past few days, have you figured anything out?"

Wu Di thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the design of this ring is based on traditional mythology, with humanistic thought at its core..."

After listening, Master Cheng nodded: "You're very capable."

"I'm just guessing," Wu Di said modestly. "I think the design of this ring matches Chu Fang's ideas."

"Finally finished." Upon hearing this, Master Cheng stretched and said, "I will never take on a job like this again, unless your friend gives me a hundred million, but that's impossible."

These days, I've put so much effort into designing the ring that I feel like I've aged several years.

Wu Di said with a smile, "Perhaps it's possible?"

"No way?" Master Cheng's mouth gaped open. "Your friend is that rich? Did he rob a bank?"

Wu Di smiled but didn't say anything.

Ever since he learned that Chu Fang had donated 1 billion to a Taoist temple to fulfill a so-called wish, he knew that Chu Fang was far richer than he had imagined.

Nowadays, very few of the most prestigious listed companies have annual profits exceeding one billion yuan.

Wu Di was completely convinced that as long as Master Cheng Li designed the ring Chu Fang wanted, he would gladly accept a price of one hundred million.

He sent the ring design to Chu Fang, who responded with an 'ok' gesture, indicating his satisfaction.

As the afternoon work was about to begin, Wu Di headed to the company, only to be met by the manager, the last person he wanted to see.

"It's 2:23 now, you're late for work."

Wu Di made an excuse: "Manager, I went to see a client."

"Which client? Do I know them? Are they from our company? Or... you're lying."

The manager's face was stern. "I've been watching you for a while. You've been skipping work every afternoon these past few days."

As the two chatted, many of their colleagues and job seekers turned their attention to them.

Wu Di then apologized: "I'm sorry, manager."

"You don't need to apologize to me. You're the one who should apologize to the company. Half of your salary this month will be deducted, and your year-end bonus will be canceled. Do you agree?"

Whoosh...

Many of the company's long-time colleagues were surprised.

Is such a small mistake punishable by such a severe penalty?

Wu Di was also surprised, but then he noticed his new colleague and immediately understood.

When a new employee joins, the manager must make an example of them to establish authority, and he becomes that example.

That's why the punishment is so severe.

Wu Di was silent for a few seconds: "Manager, I resign."

He couldn't stand working under such incompetent people.

"Okay, no problem." Upon hearing this, the manager clapped his hands. "You made the right choice!"

Having dealt with Wu Di, the manager was extremely pleased and loudly proclaimed to his many colleagues:

"Once you join the company, you become a member and must abide by the company's rules and regulations. Otherwise, you will end up like Wu Di, being fired or resigning!"

Wu Di went to work and started tidying up his belongings.

A group of former colleagues said:

"Wu Di, what's wrong with you? You just said you have a family, but now you're acting so impulsively."

"Exactly, it's so hard to find a job these days."

"Why don't you go and plead with the manager?"

“... ..."

Faced with his colleagues' suggestions and advice, Wu Di smiled and shook his head.

He had been considering resigning for some time.

He believed that he could support himself and He Yi with his own abilities.

Seeing Wu Di's determined look, many of his colleagues shook their heads, somewhat disappointed.

Today it's Wu Di, and perhaps they will be next; everyone is in danger.

Just then, a voice came from Wu Di's ear: "Hey kid, we meet again."

He looked up and saw Master Cheng Li of the jewelry store looking at him, surrounded by the manager and a group of senior executives of the company.

Wu Di asked, "Teacher Cheng, what are you doing here?"

"This is my company, why can't I come here?" Cheng Li retorted, glancing at the cardboard box on the table, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

It's quite normal for Cheng Li, a well-known designer in the industry, to own a company.

Before Wu Di could answer, the manager who had just fired him said obsequiously, "President Cheng, this position is too small. I'll let Wu Di work in a more spacious position."

Manager Luocha was sweating profusely.

Unexpectedly, the subordinate who was just fired has now made contact with the company's boss.

Manager 'Rakshasa' really wanted to slap himself.

Look at your ignorant self!

Master Cheng glanced at the manager, then at Wu Di, shook his head, and headed deeper into the company, followed by a group of senior executives.

After the executive left, the company's colleagues all looked at him with surprise:

"Hiss... ...Dizi, what's going on? How did you get in touch with the company's CEO?"

"Tell me, are you Mr. Cheng's grandson, and did you come to the company specifically to gain experience, so you're hiding your identity?"

"I could tell you were no ordinary person."

“... ..."

“My surname is Wu, not Cheng,” Wu Di explained speechlessly. “My friend asked Master Cheng to design a ring, so I got to know him. How was I supposed to know that Master Cheng was the company’s CEO?”

It must be said that everything in life depends on 'fate'.

Without the 'yuan', one cannot get to know Master Cheng; without the 'yuan', one cannot see President Cheng again.

Wu Di felt that he should be able to keep his job.

Upon seeing the manager rushing out, Wu Di said, "Manager, I've packed my things, I'm leaving."

"Oh my god." Manager 'Rakshasa' didn't care about saving face. "Wu Di, Brother Wu, Grandpa Wu, I'm begging you, please don't leave."

He knew his subordinates were secretly watching him, and he had lost all face and dignity, but he cared more about his work than his dignity.

Manager 'Rakshasa' could tell that the relationship between General Manager Cheng and Wu Di was not ordinary.

That's just how surreal it is.

The manager, who was just moments ago so aggressive, is now all smiles and obsequious.
