Chapter 017 Demanding an Explanation

Just as Chen Lei had become a hero, no, a martyr, Yin Xiumei, who had been stunned by Su Rui, was crying to a man in a luxurious villa.

She was crying and cursing at the same time: “I want to kill him, I will definitely kill him!”

The man frowned and said: “I was in the middle of a meeting, you had to call me back, and now you won’t even tell me what happened. What’s with all this crying?”

“Cousin, you must help me get revenge! You must help me get revenge!” Yin Xiumei was crying miserably, her eyes swollen like light bulbs, her hair disheveled, looking completely different from before!

“Revenge? What exactly happened? Just tell me quickly.”

If anyone else were here, they would certainly recognize this man as Zhang Kaibin, the Deputy Director of the Commerce Bureau of Ninghai City!

This Yin Xiumei and Zhang Kaibin were cousins in name, but in fact, they had no blood relationship. Yin Xiumei was actually Zhang Kaibin’s secretly kept mistress! And this villa was bought by Zhang Kaibin to hide his affair!

“Our company hired a new employee today who spoke disrespectfully to me. I only talked back a little, and he actually grabbed a security guard’s electric baton and stunned me! I want to kill him, I want to kill him!” Yin Xiumei’s face was covered in tears, her eyes filled with undisguised hatred!

Zhang Kaibin was stunned. He knew that because of his relationship, Bikang treated his “cousin” Yin Xiumei quite well. What happened today? Someone actually used an electric baton to stun his cousin? That took enormous guts!

Zhang Kaibin immediately felt an indescribable rage rising within him.

Yin Xiumei had been with him for several years, and he treated this mistress quite well. Although she was a bit arrogant normally, in front of him, she was extremely obedient. Besides, Zhang Kaibin was hopelessly obsessed with those two towering mountains on Yin Xiumei’s chest! He would feel uncomfortable if he couldn’t touch them for even one day!

Therefore, hearing that Yin Xiumei had been stunned by someone, Zhang Kaibin felt like his entire body was about to burst into flames!

“Which bastard did this!” Zhang Kaibin raged.

“His name is Su Rui, a new employee in the marketing department.” Seeing that Zhang Kaibin was willing to stand up for her, Yin Xiumei’s crying subsided a bit.

“A newcomer dares to be so arrogant? I’ll make Lin Fuzhang give me justice!”

Zhang Kaibin said angrily: “I’m going to Bikang right now!”

“I’ll go with you! That bastard Su Rui must be kicked out of Bikang!” Yin Xiumei followed him.

“What are you coming for?”

After all, Zhang Kaibin was part of the system. If he openly went to seek justice for his “cousin,” people would inevitably gossip. If any rumors spread, it would be very bad for him.

Moreover, Bikang was such a large pharmaceutical enterprise, and its chairman Lin Fuzhang held a high position. Although Zhang Kaibin was at the deputy department level, it was uncertain whether the other party would give him face!

However, his mistress had been stunned at Bikang, and he, Zhang Kaibin, had to demand an explanation. If he swallowed this insult without a word, he wouldn’t be much of a man! If news got out, he would never be able to show his face in Ninghai again!

“I want to go with you!” Yin Xiumei said through gritted teeth: “I want to see that guy get kicked out with my own eyes!”

“Just stay here when I tell you to stay. Don’t make trouble for me! Do you think this matter is so easy to handle?” Zhang Kaibin couldn’t stand this big-breasted but brainless woman anymore. He knew that although Yin Xiumei claimed others had spoken disrespectfully to her, he knew her character all too well. Even if someone had stunned her, she must have been the one who started the trouble.

“I told you to wait here, so just wait! You never give me peace of mind!”

Zhang Kaibin pushed Yin Xiumei onto the sofa, then slammed the door as he left!

“Su Rui, I want you out of Bikang, and after you’re out, I’ll find someone to kill you!”

Thinking about everything that had happened today, a sense of humiliation filled Yin Xiumei’s heart. Her eyes were full of venom as she picked up a fruit knife and stabbed the sofa cushion again and again, sending cotton flying all over the living room!

…

At this moment, someone in the marketing department’s hall called out: “Su Rui, Su Rui, the CEO wants to see you!”

Everyone looked at Su Rui with envious eyes. A deal worth 20 million, and he had already caught the attention of President Lin!

Lin Aoxue was the dream girl of most male employees at Bikang. Many dreamed of sitting in her office, but almost none had the privilege. Su Rui, however, had been there twice on his first day!

As soon as he opened the door, he smelled the faint fragrance in the office.

Su Rui closed his eyes, took a deep breath with delight, his face full of satisfaction.

“What are you doing?” Lin Aoxue frowned. This guy always showed this improper behavior whenever he saw her.

“Smelling the scent in your office,” Su Rui said dreamily.

Lin Aoxue didn’t want to banter with him on this topic and quickly got to the point, her tone still cold: “Alright, let’s be serious. How did you sign this 20 million deal?”

“How I signed it is not your concern, right? As long as I bring in business, that’s what matters.” Su Rui smiled slightly: “20 million, the commission should be over 2 million, right?”

Lin Aoxue gave a faint “hmm” and said: “You can go to the finance department to collect your commission for this deal. Due to the large amount, it needs the approval of Finance Vice President Zhou Anke. Just go to her directly.”

“Now you won’t fire me, right?” Su Rui asked with a smile, his eyes wandering over Lin Aoxue’s delicate face. This girl, how could she be so beautiful?

Lin Aoxue’s gaze faltered. Indeed, Su Rui’s performance had completely exceeded her expectations. This man, who seemed so uncouth in his behavior, always gave her a different feeling.

And after last night’s incident, Lin Aoxue also knew that Bikang and herself were under the watchful eyes of many. She trusted her father’s judgment very much, and with Su Rui, whose background was mysterious, the danger level would probably be reduced somewhat.

In just two days of contact, this man had already shown too many unusual qualities.

“You don’t need to go out for business anymore,” Lin Aoxue said flatly.

“Then what will I do?” Su Rui raised his eyebrows. This girl wasn’t going to fire him, was she?

“Stay in the marketing department and do nothing important.”

Because of Lin Aoxue’s words, Su Rui became the most leisurely person in the Bikang Group, with his daily work consisting of chatting, joking around, and flirting with beautiful women.

“By the way, don’t forget that I’m coming to your room tonight to check for bugs. Remember to put away your underwear and such beforehand, so I don’t see them.” Su Rui said with a lecherous smile, then closed the door and left.

Lin Aoxue remained silent and continued to look down at her documents, but she stared at one page for a long time without turning it, obviously somewhat distracted.

At this time, Deputy Director of the Commerce Bureau Zhang Kaibin had already arrived at Bikang Tower in his official car. Now he stood in front of Chairman Lin Fuzhang’s office and knocked three times gently.

After knocking, without waiting for permission from inside, he pushed the door open. Having navigated the officialdom for so many years, Zhang Kaibin had his own approach even to details like knocking on doors.

Lin Fuzhang was checking his emails. When he looked up and saw Zhang Kaibin enter, his face immediately broke into a smile.

“Director Zhang, how do you have time to inspect our work today? Come, come, sit down, sit down.” Lin Fuzhang appeared very enthusiastic.

Zhang Kaibin gave a dry laugh and then sat down. He was puzzled in his heart, how was it that the news of Yin Xiumei being stunned hadn’t reached the chairman’s ears yet? Or was this old fox playing dumb?

“Chairman Lin, to be honest, I wouldn’t come if it wasn’t important.” Though he came to demand justice, Zhang Kaibin wasn’t aggressive. Although his expression was slightly stiff, he was generally polite.

“Oh? What brings Director Zhang here? If there’s anything I can help with, I’ll certainly do my best.” Lin Fuzhang personally poured water for Zhang Kaibin.

Zhang Kaibin chuckled: “Chairman Lin, as you know, I have a cousin working in Bikang Group’s marketing department, named Yin Xiumei.”

“I’m certainly aware of that. Yin Xiumei has outstanding performance and is now the leader of Business Group Two.” Lin Fuzhang seemed completely unaware of everything.

“But Chairman Lin, this cousin of mine was stunned with an electric baton by a newly hired employee today at Bikang headquarters! I wonder if Chairman Lin has heard about this?” Zhang Kaibin paused, taking in Lin Fuzhang’s shocked expression: “This could be considered intentional injury, which could lead to criminal charges.”

“What? An employee was so bold as to openly use an electric baton to harm someone? Who did it? I’ll have him come apologize to Director Zhang immediately, and after apologizing, he’ll pack his bags and get out of Bikang Group!” Lin Fuzhang slapped the tea table, his face full of anger!

Hearing this, Zhang Kaibin was now certain that Lin Fuzhang’s expression wasn’t fake; he probably didn’t know about this matter. After all, as the chairman of a large group, Lin Fuzhang’s position was too high, and such matters generally wouldn’t reach his ears.

“Actually, there’s no need for that. Chairman Lin, you’re too kind.” Since the other party had offered a way out, Zhang Kaibin couldn’t refuse to take it, otherwise he would appear too arrogant.

“No need to fire him. After all, it’s not easy to get a job at Bikang. I just want him to apologize and pay appropriate compensation for mental distress.” Zhang Kaibin had to make a gesture, but he believed Lin Fuzhang would definitely do him this favor.

Sure enough, Lin Fuzhang said angrily: “Such a person must be fired! Not only did he cause serious physical and mental harm to Director Zhang’s cousin, but he also caused an extremely negative impact on Bikang’s entire image! He can’t stay even one more day!”

“Chairman Lin, really, there’s no need. You’re truly giving me, Zhang, too much face.” Zhang Kaibin hadn’t expected Lin Fuzhang to be so cooperative. It seemed that in the future, he would need to give Bikang more green lights on certain procedures.

“I never imagined such a malicious incident would occur in my company. This is related to my management failure. I first apologize to Ms. Yin on behalf of the entire company and hope Director Zhang can convey this. If convenient, I would like to visit her in the hospital tomorrow.”
