Chapter 435 Putting the facts aside
"I know about this, please get to the point."
Dong Yuanjiu reminded him.
He already had a general idea of how to handle this matter, even though he didn't know the so-called truth.
Jia Weiqiang glanced at Shi Ding and then continued, "Such a superpowered team must be very strong. I wanted to make a contribution, so I went to recruit them myself. Who knew that the team leader, Pei Yi, would not only speak rudely but also keep insulting our Phoenix Base, saying that we were not worthy of being called Phoenix Base and that with such trash strength, we were more like a pheasant base."
"The things he said afterward were incredibly harsh, but because the other party was so powerful, I thought I couldn't make enemies for the base, so I kept my anger in check. After all, it's normal for a person's character to not match their strength. In the end, my sincerity probably moved the other party. Pei Yi said that I should send thirty people and they should send one person for a real-life PK."
“If we win, then their squad will join our base.”
Jia Weiqiang's eyes reddened as he spoke, and he looked at Dong Yuanjiu, sobbing, "Manager Dong, I thought I had the upper hand against thirty people, but who could have imagined that this was that old scoundrel Pei Yi's trap? We were completely powerless to fight back, and that old scoundrel showed no mercy, he just... he just..."
As he finished speaking, Jia Weiqiang's voice became somewhat shrill.
Upon hearing Jia Weiqiang's words, Shi Ding slammed his fist on the table in anger: "This is absolutely outrageous! They're just a little bit strong, yet they dare to disregard our Phoenix Base like this. That's bad enough, but they've also injured so many of our base's experts. The cruelty and viciousness of their methods are unheard of and unseen!"
He looked at Dong Yuanjiu: "Manager Dong, no matter how strong someone is, I will not agree to let people with such questionable character join the Phoenix Base. Not to mention, they have now slapped our base in the face. I cannot swallow this insult!"
Shi Ding set the tone, and the managers belonging to his faction spoke up one after another: "This is simply too much, lawless, and they don't respect our base at all!"
“Deputy Manager Shi is right. No matter how strong they are, our base can't accept them! If we did, the base might become their domain!”
For a time, apart from those from Dong Yuanjiu's faction and the neutral faction, the rest of the people were filled with indignation.
After a while, seeing that Dong Yuanjiu did not speak, the meeting room gradually quieted down.
"It's quiet now?"
Dong Yuanjiu glanced around the conference room and then continued, "Whether the truth of the matter is as Jia Weiqiang said is still uncertain. If it is as he said, then I will definitely give everyone an explanation. Of course, there is one more thing that I hope everyone will not overlook, and that is the strength of this group of people."
Lü Fang nodded in agreement: "Manager Dong is right. I think everyone here knows very well the strength of the thirty men Liu Shengtian brought. The other side only sent one person, and they completely crushed those thirty men. Forgive me for using the word 'crushed,' but judging from the result, they were completely crushed!"
Jia Weiqiang glanced at Lü Fang and gritted his teeth inwardly.
"That bitch, I'll get her sooner or later..." Before Jia Weiqiang could finish his thought, he suddenly realized that he had run out of things to say to her.
A wave of sorrow washed over me.
Lu Fang, oblivious to Jia Weiqiang's mood, continued, "One person can easily defeat our team of thirty. Although they are not an elite team, their strength should not be inferior to that of an elite team, right? The opposing team has about ten people. If we were to wipe them all out, how many ability users would the base have to deploy, and how many ability users would we lose?"
"You mean we're just going to swallow this bitter pill?" Shi Ding sneered.
“Deputy Manager Shi,” Dong Yuanjiu said, emphasizing the word “Deputy” when addressing Shi Ding. “As I just said, the truth of the matter is still undetermined.”
"Does Manager Dong not trust Jia Weiqiang?"
“It’s not that I don’t believe him, but this is a very important matter and we must be careful. We can’t make a decision based on one person’s words. This could very well be related to the survival of the base. The others have already woken up. I will have people question them separately. We’ll find out whether it’s true or false with just a few questions.”
Upon hearing this, Jia Weiqiang's heart skipped a beat.
He anticipated that Dong Yuanjiu would go to the scene to investigate, but those superhumans wouldn't know much about the situation, so he could lie. Another point was, even if Pei Yi and the others told the truth, who knew if they were deliberately framing him?
Therefore, Jia Weiqiang felt confident that he could sit back and relax.
But he never expected that Dong Yuanjiu, a cunning old fox, would actually have the interrogations conducted separately!
They didn't exchange statements, this is bad!
Shi Ding also silently sighed in his heart.
He just pressured Dong Yuanjiu, pointing fingers at him from a moral high ground, all based on the assumption that what Jia Weiqiang said was true.
But whether this is true or false, Shi Ding knows it even if he has no brains.
Not to mention, he knew that Liu Shengtian had sent people to teach that squad a lesson, since Liu Shengtian had said that he could have his way with those two women first.
Conversely, if Jia Weiqiang's words are false, then his words will give Dong Yuanjiu leverage, which will significantly reduce Dong's influence in the management team.
The meeting room was as quiet as a chicken's nest.
Everyone has their own agenda.
Shi Ding was even more restless, shifting his position in the chair several times.
Not long after, the person sent to question them returned.
Dong Yuanjiu immediately asked, "How did it go?"
"Manager Dong, the rest of the people have different opinions from Jia Weiqiang, some even so absurd that there are thirty different opinions among thirty people."
As the man spoke, he continued, "The only thing they had in common was that they all said the other party had caused the trouble. So we interrogated a few people with weaker psychological defenses and found out the truth."
Upon hearing this, Jia Weiqiang turned ashen-faced.
Although the truth has not yet been revealed, his fate is already sealed.
Sure enough, the man continued, "Jia Weiqiang and his men went to offer amnesty, and the benefit they offered Pei Yi was a promotion to the seventh rank, on the condition that Pei Yi give him the two beautiful women in his squad. Pei Yi refused and made threats. Jia Weiqiang was dissatisfied and reported this to Liu Shengtian. The two of them hit it off and decided to take their men to settle scores, but..."
As a result, he was beaten instead of hitting the other person, and even lost his manhood.
Dong Yuanjiu looked at Jia Weiqiang and sneered, "Jia Weiqiang, what else do you have to say?"
Shi Ding tried to add, "Manager Dong, putting aside the facts, isn't Pei Yi completely without fault? Their actions are a slap in the face to our Phoenix Base!"
“Deputy Manager Shi, what’s the point of talking if we don’t consider the facts? Are you going to talk to them? Didn’t Jia Weiqiang do this himself? Not only that, he also offended such a powerful squad for our base. Liu Shengtian and Jia Weiqiang must bear the main responsibility for this, or is Deputy Manager Shi also involved? After all, these two are usually the ones who listen to Deputy Manager Shi the most!”
