"You brat, don't push your luck!"
Ji Afei pointed at Chen Jie's nose and said, "I've been in this dance school for over a decade. How can an outsider like you just fire me? What the hell do you think you are?"
"Don't be so outrageous. You'll face retribution sooner or later!"
Chen Jie sneered, "You don't need to bluster at me. If you hadn't kept targeting me, I would have let it go. Since you're determined to deal with me, how can I spare you?"
"So what? Targeting you is giving you face! Don't even think about me targeting you, you're not that important yet! And do you think you can use cooperation matters to threaten me into leaving?"
Cai Ni looked at Chen Jie with difficulty.
If Chen Jie truly made this demand, it would be easier if it were someone else. Even if she disagreed, the big boss upstairs would agree.
But the crucial problem was that Ji Afei had connections.
This might not be enough to threaten the school.
"Since I'm making this demand, I have absolute confidence."
Chen Jie took out his phone and handed it to Cai Ni. "Principal Cai, I have a video recording here. Please take a look on the projector."
There was a projection screen in the office.
Cai Ni took it, hesitated, and connected the phone, then started playing the video.
Soon, a video appeared on the screen.
It showed footage of Wen Jing and Ji Afei in the hospital.
In the video, Ji Afei seemed to be about to be discharged.
Wen Jing said with a smile, "Director Ji, our boss has some disagreements with Chen Jie, so we need you to cooperate with us to expel Chen Jie from the Celebrity Dance School."
"Oh? That's exactly what I want. But this Chen Jie seems to have some background; I might not succeed!"
Ji Afei said with difficulty.
"Don't worry, our boss is very influential. With his status, he can directly control major entertainment companies! Among them, Ao Long Company has already been acquired by our boss."
"Moreover, we've already devised a plan."
"At that time, as long as we make all the companies stop cooperating with the Celebrity Dance School, the dance school will naturally consider expelling Chen Jie!"
Wen Jing said elegantly.
Ji Afei's eyes lit up. "Actually, it's not necessary. Seven days ago, I made a bet with Chen Jie. If Chen Jie couldn't bring in a collaborator for the company, he promised to leave the school himself!"
"That's good. Our Ao Long Company also needs Celebrity's resources, so we don't need to ask other companies to refuse cooperation with Celebrity!"
"No!"
Unexpectedly, Ji Afei directly shook his head and refused.
He said fiercely, "I want your boss to continue to implement this order and make all entertainment companies stop cooperating with the Celebrity School!"
"Uh? Why? Aren't you a senior executive there? Do you want your school to decline?"
Ji Afei sneered, "What does that have to do with me? The world is vast, and my interests are paramount! If the company loses its collaborators, Cai Ni, as the principal, will be dismissed! Then I can take her position as principal!"
"Moreover, if you cooperate with me then, on the condition that the company continues to cooperate with Celebrity, I can obtain Celebrity's shares and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the big boss and second boss, becoming a shareholder together! Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Wen Jing smiled and said, "Of course. As long as Chen Jie is dealt with, everything you've said is a matter of a word for our boss."
"Then it's settled."
...
Seeing this, Li Ziling's eyes widened.
So it was all that Zhao Zilong's doing!
No wonder!
No wonder Wu Sijun wasn't in a hurry to expel Chen Jie; she wanted Ji Afei to do it!
And since Ao Long Company was acquired by Zhao Zilong, Wu Sijun's insistence on signing with Ao Long Company made sense.
Zhao Zilong knew her identity as the daughter of a War God, so he wanted to win her over.
Li Ziling wasn't that foolish; she immediately understood the reason.
As for Ji Afei, he looked despairing.
He never imagined that Chen Jie would obtain this video.
He knew he was finished.
Because he had said some inappropriate things in the video.
If he had only wanted to expel Chen Jie, it would have been fine. But he even wanted to be on par with the second boss and actively harmed the company's interests.
Finished!
Ji Afei muttered.
Wu Sijun left the office without a word.
Cai Ni said with a grim expression, "Ji Afei, out of consideration for our colleagues, I can refrain from submitting this recording to the boss, but you must resign!"
Ji Afei swallowed with difficulty.
He glared at Chen Jie with his dead fish eyes.
It was all him!
This guy ruined his good plans!
Why, why did he have to offend Chen Jie!
Why didn't Chen Jie just die!
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind.
Regret, anger, unwillingness.
"I'm willing to resign!" Ji Afei finally said dejectedly.
He thought that after being discharged from the hospital this time, with the support of Wen Jing's boss, he would return like a king, and obtaining company shares wouldn't be an issue.
Who would have thought that this would lead to him losing his job?
In fact, he was so obese, with no substance, and his dancing lacked any aesthetic appeal.
The only reason he had stayed at the dance school for so long was through connections.
Outside the school, he was nothing. Without a decent skill, he would fall into a mid-life crisis, and it was uncertain if he could find a decent job.
Let alone a position comparable to his deputy director role?
His life was ruined.
"Self-destruction!" Chen Jie said lightly, then said to Li Ziling and the others, "Let's go!"
Guo Xiaofeng said, "I've already arranged for a special car to take you to the company to sign the contract. Afterward, our company will provide you with targeted training!"
"Thank you, Teacher Guo! Thank you, Teacher Chen!"
Everyone said sincerely to the two of them.
They happily stood in front of the school waiting for the car, while Ji Afei forlornly carried his luggage, forming a stark contrast with Chen Jie's group.
Chen Jie glanced at him indifferently, not taking him to heart.
To Chen Jie, he was just a minor character.
The reason Chen Jie was able to produce that recording was entirely thanks to Luo Nan.
After calling Chen Jie, Luo Nan began investigating the people targeting Chen Jie online.
Until he hacked into the hospital's surveillance system.
Upon discovering the conversation between Ji Afei and Wen Jing, he immediately sent the content to Chen Jie.
At this moment, the company car arrived.
Everyone got into the car one by one. As Zheng Qingshu and Lu Gang were about to get in, Chen Jie stopped them. "You don't need to get in the car. Go take care of your own matters."
