Demotion?

37: Chapter 37: Arrogant?

Demotion?

Thump!

Tang Xiao slammed the table and stood up, her expression stern and her eyes filled with anger.

“Wang Kun!

What do you mean by this?”

“What do I mean?

Hmph!” Wang Kun pointed at Wu Jie: “Overnight, I’ve become infamous.

Do you dare say you have nothing to do with it?

Do you dare say you weren’t at Yue Er Bar last night?”

Before Wu Jie could even squeak, Tang Xiao cut in sharply, “We’re here to discuss an acquisition, not your embarrassing moments!”

“That’s exactly what I want to talk about!”

Wang Kun, with both hands on the edge of the table, glared at Wu Jie.

“Even if I don’t know what methods you used, I remember very clearly seeing you last night!”

Wu Jie chuckled: “Then yesterday afternoon when I nearly got hit by a car, I saw you too!

What does that prove?

That we have fate?”

“You little punk!

Don’t get too arrogant!”

Wang Kun barked coldly.

“Am I being arrogant?”

Wu Jie slowly stood up: “Initially, the person who requested to transfer me to the project department was you, the one who later suggested replacing me was also you, and now the one proposing to buy back shares is still you, Mr.

Wang.

What exactly are you trying to play?”

“I’m not playing, I damn well want to take you down!”

Wang Kun said viciously.

“Come on then!

Bring it on!” Wu Jie taunted with a laugh.

“Enough!!”

Tang Xiao shouted fiercely, her cold gaze sweeping the room.

Everyone else involved in the meeting was as silent as a cicada in winter, not daring to make a sound.

“Wang Kun, I warn you!

This is my turf, so quit throwing your weight around here!”

“This project at Flower Water Bay, it’s always been you causing trouble.

Today you want to buy back shares?

Then put out two billion, if you dare provide it, I dare to sign!

Otherwise, shut up and stop making a scene here!!”

Tang Xiao’s voice was authoritative and resounding.

“Alright!

Just two billion, I’ll do it!” Wang Kun’s tone shifted, he glared at Wu Jie with a sinister smile: “Dare to scheme against me, huh!

Better start measuring yourself for a coffin and buying a gravesite!”

“With such a filthy mouth, seems like last night’s lesson wasn’t hard enough!” Wu Jie retorted with a cold laugh: “Or do you want to try something different?”

Wang Kun was momentarily startled.

He subconsciously took a step back.

“You…

it really was you!”

“Tang Xiao!

You heard that, right?

You saw that, right?

The person who caused my embarrassment last night, it was him!”

Tang Xiao snorted coldly: “Whether it’s him or not, what difference does it make?

You’d better make the payment before I change my mind!”

Grinding his teeth, Wang Kun gave a knowing look to the accountant and cashier, who immediately made the transfer.

“President Tang, the payment has been made!” reported the Group’s finance officer.

Tang Xiao quickly signed and stamped the agreement, flinging it at Wang Kun: “You can get out of here now!”

Wang Kun clenched his fists, his teeth tightly gritted, as he stormed out furiously.

Thump!

The door slammed shut with significant force, an indication of Wang Kun’s rage.

Tang Xiao bit her lip hard, letting out a cold snort.

“Notify the Security Department, from now on, anyone who dares to let people from Tianyuan Wang Real Estate in, pack your things and get out!

I don’t welcome any of them here, especially Wang Kun!”

Xie Wanjun nodded again and again, her palms sweating with anxiety.

“Wu Jie, come inside!”

Tang Xiao kicked a chair out of her way and strode into the rest area.

Under the complex gazes of all present, Wu Jie followed her inside.

As soon as the door closed behind them, the meeting room became abuzz with commotion.

“That bastard Wang Kun, he must have planned this in advance, with the money ready, just waiting for me to ask for it!”

Tang Xiao said, infuriated, with hands on hips and panting.

Noticing Wu Jie’s strange look, Tang Xiao glanced sideways and asked coldly:

“Do I look good to you?”

“Of course you look good!”

Wu Jie replied casually.

Tang Xiao was so angry she nearly vomited blood.

“What time is it already, and you’re still in the mood to look at me?

You’re in grave danger now.

Wang Kun, that guy, definitely won’t let things go, he’ll surely hire someone to make you die in various ‘accidents’!”

Shaking with fury, Tang Xiao trembled all over.

Moving her gaze away, Wu Jie sat down on the sofa.

“Since I was able to embarrass him publicly, I can make his life worse than death, and I can certainly make him die miserably!”

Pausing, Wu Jie smiled and asked, “But what about you, suddenly earning three billion, don’t put on a cold face, smile a bit!”

Tang Xiao snorted coldly, “What do you know?

If this project had been completed, I would have earned more than just three billion.

But it’s good to pull out early.

Working with someone like Wang Kun is truly disgusting.”

Saying that, Tang Xiao sized up Wu Jie.

Actually, she wasn’t worried about Wu Jie’s safety at all.

For Wang Kun to dare to mess with him was simply asking for death.

She was just trying to test him just now, seeing that Wu Jie remained calm in the face of danger, so she no longer dwelled on it.

“You don’t have to go to the project department anymore, returning to the marketing department isn’t suitable either.

Just like I said before, go to the security division!”

“Okay!”

Wu Jie stood up and strode out.

Tang Xiao immediately cautioned, “Although I know you’re quite capable, still be careful!”

Wu Jie turned his head and smiled, “Don’t worry!

I’m your man, without your permission, I wouldn’t dare to die.”

Pfft!

Tang Xiao covered her mouth and laughed, “Alright, stop dawdling, hurry up and go report!”

Wu Jie left through the door.

In the meeting room, only the beautiful secretary Xie Wanjun was still waiting.

If it had been before, Wu Jie would definitely have given her another look.

But now…

“You and Wang Kun, you must be on pretty good terms?”

Wu Jie passed by Xie Wanjun without a sideways glance, muttering under his breath.

“What did you say?”

Xie Wanjun turned her head abruptly, only to see Wu Jie had already left the room.

Tang Xiao walked out the door, still with that frosty expression.

Xie Wanjun subconsciously lowered her head, not daring to meet her eyes.

…

Security Division.

This department was in charge of safeguarding the personnel and properties of the headquarters and all global branches and project departments.

Since Tang Long was a retired military man and had a soft spot for soldiers, the recruitment prioritized ex-military personnel.

If you were a former scout, special forces, or engineer, you would be treated even more favorably.

Wu Jie picked up his transfer order from the HR department and then went to the fourth floor to report.

The moment he stepped out of the elevator, he immediately felt a completely different atmosphere.

Whether it was the decorating style or the furnishings, it was all full of military vibes.

Look, even the receptionist was a muscular man.

“Hello, I’m here to see Manager Zhao!”

The muscular man stood up, his eyes sweeping over Wu Jie with disdain from head to toe, finally resting on his work badge.

“Follow me.”

Upon reaching the office of the department manager, the extremely burly and strong Zhao Dong, seeing the gaunt Wu Jie, couldn’t help but laugh.

“I heard that after President Tang bumped into you, she took great care of you, didn’t she promote you to be the deputy manager of a real estate project?

Why did she suddenly transfer you here?”

“The other party bought back the shares, I had nowhere to go, so I was transferred to your department,” Wu Jie said truthfully.

Zhao Dong’s brow twitched, thinking, this was a demotion!

If he was no longer favored, why bother giving him face?

Picking up the landline, Zhao Dong made a call, instructing the person on the other end.

“It’s all arranged.

Go to the storehouse now to get your equipment, then report to the security department in the headquarters.

You will mainly be responsible for the security of the group’s headquarters building!”

The security department?

Damn!

Are they making me a security guard now!
