"Mr. Zhang, a man's knees are worth gold, are you really going to kneel down like this?" Wang Chao was quite good at insulting people. After seeing Zhang Weiming kneel down, he pretended to be surprised, but in his heart he was overjoyed and wished that Zhang Weiming would stay on the ground forever!
Zhang Weiming harbored immense hatred for Wang Chao, but there was nothing he could do but swallow his anger.
"Mr. Wang, please be magnanimous and don't stoop to my level. Please sign this contract. I'm begging you, Mr. Wang." Zhang Weiming pushed the contract in front of Wang Chao with both hands.
Wang Chao asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, my biggest flaw is that I'm stingy. If you don't believe me, you can ask my classmate. Back then, I wouldn't lend him even five cents."
Holy crap! Wang Chao lies without batting an eye; it just comes out of his mouth. Five cents? If I were borrowing, I'd borrow fifty or fifty hundred! Five cents? I could buy a steamed bun with that!
Zhang Weiming, kneeling on the ground, was secretly groaning in his heart, because Wang Chao's words clearly indicated that he was being made difficult for him.
"Mr. Wang, once you sign your name, we'll be partners. Please do me the honor of signing," Zhang Weiming said with a forced smile.
"Mr. Zhang, I remember saying that I would make you kneel in front of me and beg us to sign the contract like a dog. Do you remember?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a smile.
Although Zhang Weiming knew that Liu Xiaoyuan was going to make things difficult for him by asking this question, he still nodded honestly and said yes.
"Since I've said all that, Mr. Zhang, look at yourself now. Do you look like a puppy at all?" Liu Xiaoyuan said, pointing at Zhang Weiming.
Zhang Weiming immediately understood that this guy wanted him to pretend to be a puppy. Damn it, being a puppy in the hotel lobby would be incredibly embarrassing.
Although face is something that cannot be seen or touched, it is something that people like the most.
To save face, Zhang Weiming felt ashamed enough that he had already knelt down; to pretend to be a puppy would be utterly humiliating.
"Oh dear, it seems Mr. Zhang doesn't want to study anymore. Wang Chao, let's go. I remember you said you'd take me to Zhenjiang for some fun." Liu Xiaoyuan stood up.
Zhang Weiming's mind raced. He knew that if he couldn't close this deal today, he would be tormented by the general manager when he got back.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Weiming rushed over and hugged Liu Xiaoyuan's leg, pleading, "Big brother, don't go, please don't go."
"Mr. Zhang, I'm just a nobody. You've got the wrong connections." Liu Xiaoyuan stood up, looking at Zhang Weiming, who was lying on the ground hugging his leg.
Zhang Weiming ignored Liu Xiaoyuan's words and immediately said, "Brother, President Wang, whatever you say, I will do. Brother, everything will be done as you say."
Liu Xiaoyuan and Wang Chao exchanged a glance, then sat down again.
“Mr. Zhang, this big city is not like the countryside. You can’t even hear a dog barking. Don’t you think so, Mr. Zhang?” Liu Xiaoyuan asked Zhang Weiming.
The meaning of this statement is quite clear: Zhang Weiming is to learn to bark like a dog.
Zhang Weiming wanted to pretend to be confused, but then he realized that if he pretended to be confused and didn't understand, he would lose his life and his job.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Weiming finally mustered up the courage to bark like a dog twice.
Zhang Weiming barked like a dog in the hotel lobby, immediately stunning passersby who stared at him with wide eyes.
At this moment, Zhang Weiming was like a star on stage, so dazzling.
However, Zhang Weiming wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear, because it was too embarrassing.
"Oh dear, Mr. Zhang, those two dog barks you made didn't sound right at all. They were completely knock-offs, so unlike the real thing." Liu Xiaoyuan deliberately made things difficult, his aim being to get Zhang Weiming to imitate a few more dog barks.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Weiming's expression was extremely varied. He was first stunned, then a flash of anger appeared, and finally a fawning smile appeared on his face.
"Brother, if you really want to hear a dog bark so much, how about I go to the pet market right now and buy you a dog?"
This time, Zhang Weiming pretended to be confused, feigning ignorance of Liu Xiaoyuan's meaning. He felt that if he were to make Liu Xiaoyuan bark again, he might as well just kill him.
“That’s too slow. I want to hear a dog barking right now, within half a minute.” Liu Xiaoyuan said, crossing his legs and giving Zhang Weiming half a minute to consider.
Zhang Weiming carefully considered whether or not he should imitate a dog's bark one more time.
Which is more important, your life and your job, or your pride?
When not facing a death threat, some people tend to value their reputation, because life is about appearances. But when truly facing a death threat, to hell with reputation! In the face of death, nothing matters anymore. Reputation, dignity—go to hell! The most important thing is your life.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!
Half a minute later, Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Zhang Weiming and asked, "So? Mr. Zhang, have you made up your mind?"
Zhang Weiming immediately said, "Brother, I've thought it through. As long as you're willing to sign the contract, I'm willing to do anything."
"Woof woof..." After saying that, Zhang Weiming cleared his throat and barked twice like a dog.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Wang Chao exchanged a glance and clapped. Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Not bad, not bad. President Zhang has learned well this time and made great progress."
Finally, Wang Chao signed his prestigious name on the contract. After receiving the contract, Zhang Weiming thanked him profusely and then left the hotel in a disheveled state.
"Xiao Yuan, that was so satisfying! Thank you so much, brother!" Wang Chao said gratefully.
Not only did they secure the order, but they also vented the resentment they had been holding in for the past few days. It was truly satisfying!
"There's no need for thanks between brothers," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
"By the way, isn't it too easy for that bastard Zhang Weiming to just let him go like this?" Wang Chao asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly and said, "Of course I won't let him off so easily. I told you he'd regret it. He can just wait to go to jail."
Someone like Zhang Weiming is definitely not clean; when the investigation is conducted, there will be 100% evidence of his crimes.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan called Lin Xin and told him about Zhang Weiming's affair. As the chairman, Lin Xin knew that his subordinates might have shady dealings in this regard, but as long as he didn't know, it was fine.
Now that Liu Xiaoyuan has spoken, Lin Xin can take this opportunity to make an example of someone, to curb this unhealthy trend, and to rectify the unhealthy practices throughout the group.
Lin Xin immediately ordered a thorough investigation into Zhang Weiming's case. The investigation quickly uncovered evidence of Zhang Weiming's crimes, and he was immediately arrested by the local public security authorities. He now faces many years in prison.
