Chapter 286: All of them surrendered to Pei Xingzhi
Li Su stood behind Chen Zheng with his fists clenched, his exhausted face full of incomprehension and anger.
Chen Zheng glanced at him indifferently and continued to talk to Ye Ci calmly.
Ye Ci's mocking voice came out clearly from the receiver of the phone.
"I'm afraid this Lu Yibai has schizophrenia. He is so handsome and gentle in front of people, but he is a violent madman behind people's backs! You have followed him for so many years, and you should have worked hard even if you have not made any contributions. Does he really treat you like this?"
"Hmph..." Chen Zheng curled his lips and sneered, "To him, we are just a few dogs he raised. The merits and hard work are not important at all. What matters is that he is happy and comfortable. As long as he is comfortable, the thunder, rain and dew are all our gifts!"
"And to be honest, the salary he offered us was at the normal market level, not inflated at all. If he fired me, with my education and work experience, I could find a job with the same salary anywhere."
"If that's the case, then why don't you quit?" Ye Ci asked in confusion, "He doesn't treat you as human beings, why don't you leave him?"
"I can't leave him..." Chen Zheng sighed depressedly, "From the moment we followed him, we were swept into the dirty water he poured out. Although many of the bad things we did were not done voluntarily, after so many years of helping the evil, we have long been stained with a strong stench. If we don't meet someone who can help us get out, we will never be able to leave."
"Boss Lu is very good at taking advantage of people's weaknesses. My family and friends are all under his control. After being threatened by him for so many years, my heart has long been numb, and I have already made up my mind to be ordered around by him. Until Xiao Zhao got into trouble."
"Xiao Zhao had been with him for so many years, but he just casually threw her out as a scapegoat. It's clear that he has no sympathy for us at all."
While saying this, Chen Zheng's eyes were fixed on Li Su in the reflection on the screen.
"Xiao Zhao's today is our tomorrow. If we don't want to go to jail, we must find another way to make a living."
"Yeah!" Ye Ci was very satisfied with Chen Zheng's idea. "Everyone is selfish. Lu Yibai can abandon you for himself, so you can also abandon him for yourself. It's nothing. It's human nature."
"Heh..." Chen Zheng smiled bitterly.
"Eh..." Ye Ci sighed and pretended to be casual: "In this regard, Lu Yibai is far inferior to our Brother Pei. Back then, when the Pei Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, there were loopholes everywhere in the company. Brother Pei was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night, and he never thought of asking any employee to come out to help him take the blame."
He sold his house, his car, and all the valuable things in the house just to pay his employees. You are Lu Yibai's secretary, so you should have heard about this as well, right? ”
"I heard about it." Chen Zheng said truthfully: "At that time, everyone in Yuncheng said that President Pei had a good heart. The company was in such a mess, but he didn't owe the employees a penny."
Ye Ci: "That's right. Pei's Group was in tatters, but his employees were not affected at all. He alone had to bear all the consequences."
“People are really incomparable sometimes.”
Chen Zheng: "It's true that we can't compare. The more we compare, the more disappointed we become."
Ye Ci: "Okay, just lie in ambush for now. If there is any new situation, please call me anytime. I'm hanging up. I'm going to the meeting."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ci hung up the phone. "call……"
Chen Zheng put down his phone, leaned back in his chair and let out a deep breath.
"...Who are you talking to on the phone?" Li Su stared at him gloomily and asked in a cold voice.
He pulled the corner of his mouth briefly, and instead of answering, asked: "Didn't you hear everything? What are you still asking?"
"I..." Li Su was choked by his sarcasm and his face changed instantly.
But now that the matter has been brought out, there is no need for him to play guessing games with Chen Zheng.
"Chen Zheng, are you going to betray Mr. Lu too?"
Chen Zheng turned his chair around and looked up at Li Su who was questioning him: "Wasn't it President Lu who betrayed us first? He can abandon us for his own benefit, so why can't we abandon him?"
Li Su clenched his fists in confusion: "But Mr. Lu has led us for so many years after all!"
"Yes." Chen Zheng responded indifferently, "Mr. Lu has indeed led us for many years, but we have also been beaten and scolded by him for many years."
"Did you see the wound on my forehead?" He raised his finger and pointed at his swollen forehead, and said to Li Su with a wry smile: "It was just taken, it's still fresh."
"..." Li Su looked at him with complicated eyes, the anger on his face had turned into reluctance and embarrassment.
Chen Zheng: "Xiao Zhao followed Mr. Lu right after graduation. How many shameful things has he done for Mr. Lu over the years? But what happened to him in the end? If he hadn't gone to join Mr. Pei, we would have to go to prison to see him in the future!"
The matter of Zhao Siming has always been a thorn in the hearts of both of them. Although neither of them has deliberately mentioned it since the incident, it does not mean that they don't mind it.
Now that Chen Zheng has brought the matter to light, Li Su feels quite uncomfortable.
"Li Su, Mr. Lu was able to be so cruel to Xiao Zhao, how special do you think we are? On the contrary, since we know so much, Mr. Lu will definitely kill anyone if he does anything!"
"Xiao Zhao's today is our tomorrow, we can't escape it!"
Li Su: "So you joined Pei Xingzhi?"
"What else?" Chen Zheng asked, "If I don't join him, do I have to wait to become Mr. Lu's scapegoat and go to jail for Mr. Lu?"
"Do you want to go to jail?"
Of course Li Su didn't want to. He studied hard for so many years, worked so hard all year round, and tried his best to climb up, definitely not to climb up and go to jail for Lu Yibai.
Chen Zheng: "We did all those dirty things for him, and he just sat back and reaped the benefits without even giving us a share of the soup or water. Now that things have come to this, we really have to follow him like dogs."
"Li Su, we all have families and friends, so we should make more plans for ourselves."
Li Su looked at him: "Are you sure Pei Xingzhi can protect us?"
Chen Zheng shrugged: "I'm not sure. But I think it's better to make meritorious deeds and atone for your sins as soon as possible than to make the same mistake over and over again. Fang Bo has been caught by Pei Xingzhi, and President Lu has no chance of winning."
"His downfall is inevitable, so we should try to salvage as much as possible."
“…”
Li Su didn't say anything, but his clenched fists were slowly loosening.
