"Manager Feng? What do you want with me?" Shaofeng had been chosen and was already thinking about quitting.
After all, his monthly income was only a little over twenty thousand yuan, which was nowhere near what he'd earn as the Lin family's son-in-law. It was just a small amount of money, and if they really fired him, he wouldn't care.
"What do I want with you? Shaofeng, is that how you speak to your superior?" Manager Feng was somewhat surprised by his tone.
"Little Feng, you've become bold, your back is stiff, you don't take me seriously anymore, right?"
Shaofeng sneered, "You're right, I'm about to turn things around. You're nothing in front of me!"
"You damn..."
"What 'you damn me damn,' I don't like your mother. My wife is beautiful now! I'm telling you, I quit!" Shaofeng said disdainfully.
Just as he was about to hang up, Manager Feng said, "Quit? Fine! Since I called you, it means you won't be working here for long. Some debts need to be settled!"
"What debt? You damn it, I don't want my salary anymore!"
"Don't want it? It's not that simple! You embezzled public funds a while ago, you thought I didn't know?" Manager Feng said with a cold smile.
"You, what did you say?" Shaofeng asked in shock.
He had done that matter very secretly. He had seen a stock he liked and wanted to leverage it, but he didn't want to take out a bank loan and pay high interest.
So, he set his sights on the company's public funds.
Moreover, he had greased the wheels beforehand and patched up the loophole afterward.
He had also made a fortune.
He thought this matter wouldn't cause any problems.
He didn't expect Manager Feng to bring it up now.
"What did I say? Didn't you hear me clearly? Damn it, you've become so bold now, you dare to offend anyone? I'm telling you, you can't escape! I've already reported it to the police, so prepare to go to jail!" Manager Feng said impolitely.
"You, you, I've already paid the money back. What more do you want?" Shaofeng said nervously.
His tone was no longer as assertive as before.
This kind of thing could be big or small.
After all, misappropriation of funds was a fact. Even if the money was returned, he had still committed a crime.
If they really pursued it, he wouldn't get off lightly.
"Weren't you very arrogant just now? Be arrogant to me again! I'm telling you, this isn't over! You've done this several times in the company, and we'll settle it slowly! You're rich now and want to leave the company, right? No way. When you get out of prison, I'll settle the matter of harassing a minor with you!"
Shaofeng's lips trembled.
He shivered, "Manager Feng, my attitude was bad just now, but I haven't actually damaged the company's interests! Many people in the company do this kind of thing. Why are you targeting me? Please, let me off the hook!"
"Let you off the hook? You arrogant dog, do you know who you've offended!"
"Who have I offended?"
"Think about it yourself!"
Manager Feng directly hung up the phone.
But soon, Shaofeng's phone rang again.
"I am the person in charge from the relevant department. Now you need to cooperate with our investigation. Tell us your location!"
Hearing this, Shaofeng's face turned green.
He suddenly came to his senses.
With a thud, he knelt directly in front of Chen Jie, "Dad, I was wrong! I shouldn't have fought with you over a woman. Please let me off the hook!"
Chen Jie sneered, "I already warned you, but you didn't take my words seriously. I'm sorry, I can't handle this matter anymore."
Shaofeng regretted it deeply.
He thought everyone present was a laborer like himself.
He didn't expect Chen Jie's status to be so high that he could directly contact the general manager of Donghai Real Estate Company.
If he had known this, even if he didn't take Chen Jie seriously, he wouldn't have treated Chen Jie so excessively.
Now, even if the Lin family agreed to take him in, he would have to spend time in prison. How could he marry then and become a white-collar wife's husband?
Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Li and Tang Yun again, "Uncle and Auntie, I am already your Lin family's son-in-law. I've encountered trouble now, please help me!"
"Heh heh, well, I think it's better to forget it. We only want a clean son-in-law. I suddenly feel that you are not very suitable. As for helping you, we can't..." Lin Li said awkwardly.
Not to mention that there were many people like Shaofeng in society, and his Lin family didn't lack him.
They were not familiar with Shaofeng now, and they had no connections in the provincial capital, so there was no need to help Shaofeng.
However, the son-in-law they had chosen was ruined by a phone call from Chen Jie, which made him unhappy.
While unhappy, he also glanced at Chen Jie with some surprise.
He wondered if this kid had some connections.
They had heard of Donghai Real Estate. It was the number one real estate company in the provincial capital. The fact that Chen Jie could contact their general manager indicated that Chen Jie's status was not simple.
Tang Yun glared fiercely at Chen Jie and said to Shaofeng, "You can go out now! You're not needed here anymore."
"Damn it, give me back my cigarettes! You bastards, I'd rather give them to dogs than to you!" Since the facade had been torn down, Shaofeng no longer pretended and turned hostile.
"That won't do. How can gifts that have been given away be taken back?" Tang Yun said with a smile.
"You..." Shaofeng glared venomously at Chen Jie, "It's all your fault, you damned bastard, I'll fight you!"
He directly grabbed the wine glass on the table and smashed it at Chen Jie.
Bang!
Before Chen Jie could make a move, Lin Shuang took the initiative and kicked him out the door. She shouted, "Get out! If you dare to speak nonsense again, I'll break your legs!"
"You group of damned rich people! Thirty years as an era, thirty years as an era, don't bully the poor youth, wait for me! When I get out of prison, you will tremble!" Shaofeng said viciously with great grievance.
Lin Shuang sneered, "You? Don't bully the poor youth? I think it's 'don't bully the old and poor, the dead are the greatest,' right?"
Shaofeng was struck by lightning. Then he ran out in disgrace.
Lin Shuang looked at Chen Jie with satisfaction.
Chen Jie said lightly, "Uncle and Auntie, your standards for choosing a son-in-law are not very good, are they?"
These two smiled at him on the surface, but what they did was too outrageous. Chen Jie didn't need to save them face.
Hearing this, their faces darkened.
Tang Yun said irritably, "Everyone makes mistakes, and even a horse stumbles. What's the big deal? Next!"
"I'll go!" The person who stood up was one of the two who had come with the brothers earlier.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Ding Jin! I am twenty-three years old!"
Ding Jin had figured it out. The appearance of these people was partly to compete for the son-in-law, and partly to suppress Chen Jie.
However, thinking of Chen Jie's identity, he said with a smile, "Brother, if I've offended you, please go easy on me!"
Chen Jie looked at him in surprise but said nothing.
