Chapter 692 Small World 13 - Threat
Zhao Yueling lied that she had lost something. The security guard at the door checked her pass and knew that she was one of the students visiting today. He relaxed his guard and waved his hand to let her in.
She concealed her joy and hurried into the building.
The teacher who led the team just introduced that Ye Rou’s office is on the top floor.
She stared at the elevator and pressed the button for the 22nd floor.
But the elevator didn't respond at all. Zhao Yueling studied it for a long time before she realized that to go to the top floor, one needed to swipe their employee ID card!
She is not a formal employee and has no way of getting promoted!
Just when Zhao Yueling was so depressed that she was about to vomit blood, the elevator opened and a middle-aged man walked in from outside.
The man looked decadent and unshaven, which did not match the atmosphere of this building full of elites.
He took out his work ID, swiped the elevator, and pressed the button for the 22nd floor.
Zhao Yueling's eyes lit up.
As the elevator went up, Zhao Yueling was afraid that the other party would notice her and kick her out, so she didn't dare to say a word.
She leaned against the cold wall of the elevator and secretly observed the man.
The higher the elevator went, the heavier the man's breathing became, and he muttered something.
Zhao Yueling swallowed her saliva and thought to herself, what bad luck! Could this guy be a psychopath?
"bite!"
The elevator has arrived.
The man was the first to walk out of the elevator.
Zhao Yueling was not familiar with the terrain and was wandering around on the top floor like a headless fly.
Ye Rou came to the company once a week. The secretarial team on the top floor was so busy that they didn't notice anyone sneaking in, which gave Zhao Yueling an opportunity to take advantage of her.
She turned around and around, and ended up bumping into the man who came up the elevator with her again!
He was holding a cardboard box and walking towards the elevator with his head down.
Zhao Yueling suddenly realized that this guy was fired.
Suddenly, a group of people came out of the conference room, led by Ye Rou.
Senior Jiang was there too, pushing the devil girl's wheelchair.
Zhao Yueling looked angry and was about to call out to Ye Rou, but someone moved faster than her.
The cardboard box fell to the ground with a bang, and the middle-aged man knelt down.
He began to kowtow.
Everyone was frightened by the man's sudden action.
Zhao Yueling was also startled.
Ye Rou showed no interest at all. She called the secretary expressionlessly, "Call the security guard up and take the man out."
"Yes." The secretary agreed and was about to leave.
The middle-aged man suddenly pleaded, "Boss Ye, I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please don't fire me. My family depends on me. I was just confused for a moment. My wife had cancer and needed money, so I took the risk and embezzled the project money. I know I was wrong."
The man's voice was miserable, he kowtowed again and again, his black hair was mixed with some white hair, and he looked extremely pitiful.
Zhao Yueling's eyes were filled with tears. She didn't bother to hide and quickly walked out to help the middle-aged man up: "Uncle, stop knocking."
The middle-aged man shook his head, his forehead was bruised and purple, his nose and tears were running, and he looked embarrassed and pitiful.
Zhao Yueling couldn't bear to watch this, so she pleaded, "He already knows he's wrong, so give him a chance!"
Ye Rou had just finished a demanding work meeting and now had a headache. She leaned lazily against the back of her wheelchair and asked, "Are you pleading for him?"
Zhao Yueling, intent on demonstrating her kindness to her senior, puffed out her chest and said, "To err is human, and he knows he's wrong now. If you fire him, you're forcing his entire family, including his wife who has cancer, to die!"
This accusation was very harsh, even with a hint of moral kidnapping. Everyone was in an uproar, looking at Zhao Yueling with disapproval.
The secretary took a step forward and said dissatisfiedly: "You are not from our company, how did you get up here?"
Zhao Yueling looked guilty for a moment, but then she straightened up and took out her phone to start filming everyone. "I'm filming everything. If you dare to touch me, I'll... I'll... tell the media!"
The fool had a sudden inspiration, which made the elites like the Ye family feel restricted.
"Mr. Ye, this..."
"It's really troublesome." Ye Rou's eyes moved and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Seeing her expression, Jiang Chen knew that she had another bad idea, and smiled.
Zhao Yueling's eyes were fixed on Jiang Chen. Seeing this smile, her heart melted. Then she heard the devil say, "The Ye family is indeed not short of money. If he pays back the money in time, considering his many years of service, he should be given a break."
Zhao Yueling's mind moved, thinking that the female devil was frightened by her threat, and the corner of her mouth curled up.
But she was not happy for a second, and then she heard the devil say:
"The project funds he embezzled were intended to purchase construction materials. He replaced high-quality materials with inferior ones, resulting in a collapse during construction. Two construction workers were seriously injured and are still in intensive care. His momentary greed destroyed two families. Do you think he should be fired?"
Zhao Yueling was stunned.
She was speechless for a moment, and suddenly a pitiful middle-aged man suddenly said: "You clearly want to force me to death!"
He suddenly spoke excitedly and took out a snow-white fruit knife from his waist. Jiang Chen immediately protected Ye Rou.
Zhao Yueling, who was closest to the middle-aged man, was not so lucky. She was strangled by the man and a cold blade was pressed against her neck.
Zhao Yueling's legs immediately went limp.
The middle-aged man shouted excitedly: "Don't come over here, or I will stab her to death immediately!"
Everyone stopped when they heard the sound.
The situation froze for a moment. Zhao Yueling lost her sharp tongue and kept calling Jiang Chen's name, begging the senior to save her.
Ye Rou looked at Jiang Chen with a melancholy gaze and said coldly, "It really is a problem."
Jiang Chen blinked innocently, his handsome eyebrows flying.
Male goblin...
Ye Rou looked away: "What do you want?"
The middle-aged man immediately said: "Money, give me money!"
Jiang Chen pinched Ye Rou's shoulder lightly. She understood what Jiang Chen meant and tried to attract the man's attention without making any expression.
Jiang Chen took the opportunity to hide in the blind spot of the man's sight.
Ye Rou asked: "How much?"
"One million!" the middle-aged man said immediately.
Ye Rou said slowly, "Is one million enough? Your wife has cancer and needs chemotherapy. A conservative estimate is at least three hundred thousand. You have two children attending a prestigious school. Their annual tuition must be over a hundred thousand, right?"
The middle-aged man was persuaded and changed his words: "Five million, I want five million!"
Ye Rou smiled slightly: "How greedy."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Chen rushed out, kicked the knife away, and held the man down.
Zhao Yueling was saved and suddenly hugged Jiang Chen's waist: "Senior, I was scared to death."
Jiang Chen was caught off guard and hugged by her. The middle-aged man seized the opportunity and broke free from Jiang Chen. He picked up the knife that fell on the ground and swung it towards Jiang Chen!
