CHAPTER 400: CHAPTER 392: TRULY TURNING THE TABLES—FIRST TIME SEEING AN EMPLOYEE FIRE THE BOSS’S SON

Still your sister?

The voice didn’t sound like a child.

Wan Chen suddenly asked, "Who is it?"

Han Qianyi glanced over at Yang Che who came running towards her, smiled at him, and then said into the phone, "A little brother, an actor from our company, playing my brother in the movie."

In the movie, they play siblings who depend on each other, take care of each other, so their relationship is quite good off the set too, partly carrying the emotions from acting, really treating each other as their only kin, this helps a lot in quickly getting into the role when acting.

After hearing this, Wan Chen just said "Oh," and didn’t continue the conversation.

Han Qianyi received a roasted sweet potato from Yang Che, who thoughtfully reminded, "Sis, be careful, it’s hot. Let me help you."

Han Qianyi smiled and said, "Thank you."

After saying thanks, Han Qianyi told Wan Chen, "I won’t disturb you at work then, I’m hanging up now."

Wan Chen watched as the call ended, pursing his lips.

Not disturbing his work?

It seemed like he was the one disturbing her and her brother eating roasted sweet potatoes.

Whatever, who she eats roasted sweet potatoes with is none of his business.

Wan Chen tapped on his phone’s screen lightly, returning to the trending topics page, and pressed his temples.

Soon his parents would definitely call to scold and question him.

This kind of negative scandal was absolutely not allowed in his family.

This Wu Jingjing really isn’t easy to deal with!

Just as Wan Chen thought so, the store manager came over and said, "You are fired."

The headquarters had called earlier, saying Wan Chen had severely affected their brand image, and asked the store to handle it quickly, preferably by firing him.

Understanding the hint, the store manager first consulted with the shop owner, and after getting the approval, he came to notify Wan Chen.

The headquarters’ intention was clear, surely Wan Chen had offended some upper management; otherwise, they normally wouldn’t fire someone so rashly.

Wan Chen: "???"

Is this some kind of blessing?

Good thing he didn’t like this job at all.

Wan Chen took off the pink apron he was wearing and placed it on a nearby shelf.

He moved his shoulders a bit, feeling back to his normal relaxed state, and looked at the store manager saying, "I’ll be leaving then."

The store manager had no intention to retain him, "Okay."

Just as Wan Chen walked out of the mother and baby store, Chen Xixi called out to him from the door, "Are you off work?"

Wan Chen started with a smile, "No, I got fired."

Chen Xixi was stunned for a moment, disbelievingly said, "This is really turning the world upside down, it’s the first time I’ve seen employees firing the big boss’s son."

"They didn’t know my identity."

"No wonder." Chen Xixi asked again, "Is it because of the trending search? What are you planning to do? I saw there are surveillance cameras in the store."

"Surveillance?"

Chen Xixi actually reminded him, he said, "I was so happy getting fired that I forgot, if there’s surveillance, it can prove that I didn’t intentionally take advantage of that Wu whatever!"

This way he was cleared, and in the future, it would not bring any negative impact to their family brand.

When Chen Xixi followed Wan Chen back into the store, Wu Jingjing was at the set talking with the person in charge from Beile.

Although this time’s commercial shoot was done, there’s next time, and even after shooting they could change people and reshoot, anyway, the drama hasn’t aired yet, there’s still time to shoot however they want.

Wu Jingjing is blatantly using the fact that her brother is the CEO of Tianyu, and now she’s openly negotiating with the Beile executive to secure future advertisements for herself.

Beile Mother and Baby Store.

The store manager saw Wan Chen return and frowned, "What is it this time?"

Wan Chen said, "I need the surveillance footage from the promotional display at the entrance."

The store manager casually replied, "The surveillance camera is broken."

Since the higher-ups wanted to fire Wan Chen to get rid of the trouble, the manager lied about the surveillance camera being broken so Wan Chen would not cause any more disturbances.

Chen Xixi slightly frowned, "What a coincidence it broke?"

The store manager looked at Chen Xixi, his expression changing in an instant as he smiled and said, "It’s been broken for several days, and I haven’t found the time to fix it."

Wan Chen also found it suspicious and didn’t bother with pleasantries, directly asking, "Is it really not fixed, or you just don’t want to give it to us?"

The store manager, evidently impatient and wanting to get rid of them, said, "I already told you it’s not fixed. You caused such a big mess, and we haven’t even charged you for damages or held you accountable. If you have nothing else, you better leave quickly and stop causing trouble here!"

Chen Xixi could no longer watch silently, "Is this how you handle employees being slandered?"

Wan Chen dared to come with her to ask for the surveillance footage, which meant he must have a clear conscience.

On the other hand, Wu Jingjing had immediately backed off when surveillance footage was mentioned earlier, which was very suspicious.

The store manager played the victim, "Please don’t make this difficult for me. It was the higher-ups who instructed me to fire you. Plus, there’s no evidence about this matter now, so who can say for sure if it’s slander? If you ask me, you can always find another job. There’s no need to waste time on this. If you feel wronged, you can talk to Wu Jingjing and ask her to clear your name!"

Anyway, their store would not get involved in this matter.

Otherwise, if their upper management was dissatisfied with his handling, they surely would call and fire the store owner too.

Wan Chen realized that today, the store manager had no intention of giving him the surveillance footage.

Chen Xixi and Wan Chen exchanged a glance, then Wan Chen turned and walked out of the store with Chen Xixi.

Right as they stepped out, they ran into Wu Jingjing preparing to return to the nanny car.

Wu Jingjing had just heard from the Beile manager about Wan Chen being fired.

She knew the reason must be her brother contacting the Beile Group headquarters.

If anyone dared to take advantage of her, her brother would definitely not let them off!

She looked at Wan Chen with a schadenfreude demeanor and a threatening tone, "Act properly next time, or else I’ll make sure your family’s store can’t continue operating!"

This was the funniest joke Wan Chen had ever heard in his life.

It was the first time someone dared to threaten him so boldly, and more importantly, it was a minor celebrity with little fame.

It seemed this minor celebrity must have some backing; otherwise, she wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant.

Wan Chen with hands in his pockets, tilted his head slightly, finding it somewhat amusing as he said, "Talking big, aren’t we?"

Wu Jingjing stared provocatively at Wan Chen, "What? Can’t accept it?"

Wan Chen replied, "Indeed, I can’t accept it. Give you three minutes to delete the nonsense from the trending searches, and I’ll pretend today’s incident never happened." His expression turned cold, clearly very annoyed.

Yet, he disdained to argue with a woman, so he was holding back his emotions to give Wu Jingjing some face.

Wu Jingjing didn’t need it: "Why should I delete it just because you say so?! On what grounds?!"

Wan Chen: "On the grounds that I am the future heir of Beile Group. Just by tweeting my identity and releasing the surveillance video, do you think anyone will sympathize with you online?"

Wu Jingjing: "Future heir? Ha! And you’re tweeting? You think I’m scared? If you’re capable, just do it!"

If Wan Chen really had such power, he would have used his identity to settle their earlier conflict.

Now to mention tweeting and being online, where there are numerous fake accounts impersonating identities, who knows if what Wan Chen is saying is true or false?!

Moreover, could a rightful heir be doing such a low-level job?

That must be a joke!
