Chapter Index

    In the top-floor conference room of Sheng Qin Group.

    At this moment more than 10 people were seated around the conference table.

    They were all young with the oldest looking no more than 30 years old.

    These people usually kept a low profile but if one were to investigate their identities one would realize how influential they were.

    “Creak—”

    The conference room door was pushed open and Wang Xun walked in.

    “Why are you only coming now?”

    A young man frowned with displeasure.

    He was Wang Xun’s brother-in-law Zhou Qing.

    Wang Xun said with a smile “I encountered a stupid employee when I came up just now. I taught him a lesson so I’m a bit late.”

    “If you’re late again for the next meeting then don’t bother coming anymore.”

    At the head of the conference table a young man spoke calmly.

    The smile on Wang Xun’s face froze and he apologized awkwardly “It won’t happen again I promise there won’t be a next time.”

    The others all looked at him with mocking expressions.

    Everyone knew he was an idiot but his family was rich and he was Zhou Qing’s relative after all.

    “Go find a seat and sit down!”

    Zhou Qing scolded impatiently.

    Wang Xun found a seat at the edge looking dejected. He was still quite wary of his brother-in-law.

    Of course he was also somewhat upset inwardly but didn’t dare to show it.

    Not long after he sat down the conference room door was pushed open again.

    Xu Shaochen walked in front with Jiang Yaohai half a step behind.

    Seeing Xu Shaochen Wang Xun thought his chance to perform had come. He immediately stood up slamming the table and shouted angrily:

    “How dare you! Who let you in? Who do you think you are? Is this a place you can enter? Get out of here right now!”

    After saying this he turned to Jiang Yaohai and said coldly “And you you’re the company’s general manager after all. How do you do your job? How can you bring in any random person?”

    Everyone in the conference room stared at Wang Xun in shock.

    Although they hadn’t met Xu Shaochen in person they had seen his photos so they recognized him as soon as he entered.

    They were originally preparing to stand up to welcome him but Wang Xun suddenly pulled this stunt catching them all off guard.

    Wang Xun still unaware of the huge mistake he’d made turned to look at everyone with a smile thinking he was being witty said:

    “He’s that stupid employee I just mentioned. I just taught him a lesson but it seems he hasn’t learned. Don’t you think he’s an idiot?”

    He realized after speaking that the others weren’t laughing as he had imagined.

    He was stunned and asked hesitantly “Is… isn’t it funny?”

    Zhou Qing’s face turned black with anger his clenched fists showing bulging veins. He felt this fool had completely embarrassed him.

    More critically if this idiot ruined today’s cooperation even dying 100 times wouldn’t be enough to make up for it.

    “Slap!”

    Zhou Qing stood up walked over and slapped Wang Xun hard across the face.

    The slap was very heavy.

    Wang Xun was stunned blood trickling from the corner of his mouth five bright red fingerprints appearing on his face.

    “Zhou Qing… why why did you hit me?”

    “I hit you because you’re an idiot!”

    Zhou Qing cursed turning his hand to slap Wang Xun’s face several more times.

    “Slap! Slap! Slap!”

    Wang Xun felt his face go numb two of his teeth forcibly knocked out.

    After finishing Zhou Qing quickly ran to Xu Shaochen his face full of apology as he said:

    “Young Master Xu I’m terribly sorry for letting you see such a spectacle. It’s all because of this blind fool who offended you. Please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against him.”

    Boom!

    Seeing this Wang Xun felt as if struck by lightning his mind going blank.

    Even if he was stupid he now understood what those slaps were about.

    Even his brother-in-law who was his backer had to be so humble in front of Xu Shaochen yet he had dared to insult him just now…

    He dared not think further his heart completely filled with fear his shoulders involuntarily starting to tremble.

    “Oh no Director Wang couldn’t possibly be blind. He was just scolding me for being blind. I should thank him for being magnanimous downstairs and letting me off otherwise I wouldn’t have the chance to stand in this conference room now.”

    Xu Shaochen glanced at Wang Xun with an ambiguous smile speaking in a gentle tone.

    “Thud!”

    Wang Xun shuddered his legs giving way as he fell to his knees crawling over to Xu Shaochen.

    “Young… Young Master Xu please spare me Young Master Xu. It was all because I looked down on people with my dog eyes. I failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please be merciful and spare my life I beg you…”

    While begging Wang Xun kept kowtowing to Xu Shaochen his forehead quickly becoming swollen and red.

    Xu Shaochen looked down at Wang Xun saying coolly “Director Wang how can this be? Didn’t you just say not making me kowtow to you was already being lenient? How can you now turn around and kowtow to me? This is unacceptable.”

    “No no no it’s only right it’s only right Young Master Xu please forgive me treat me like a fart and let me go.”

    Wang Xun burst into loud sobs snot and tears flowing looking extremely ridiculous.

    Zhou Qing cast a pleading glance at the others in the conference room. After all Wang Xun was his wife’s brother.

    If he didn’t try to save him his wife would surely cause a scene when he got home.

    “Young Master Xu you’re a big shot there’s no need to bother with such a small character.”

    “That’s right Young Master Xu let’s focus on discussing important matters first. There’s no need to waste time on him.”

    “Well said…”

    The others also chimed in to mediate their main intention being to save Wang Xun’s dog life.

    “How can someone like this be a vice president? Is it because Sheng Qin lacks talent or because your standards are too low? This makes me doubt Sheng Qin’s capabilities.”

    Xu Shaochen looked at everyone speaking jokingly then kicked Wang Xun lightly:

    “Alright get lost. If you kowtow to death here I’m a bit timid and might have nightmares at night.”

    Hearing this Zhou Qing quickly gave Wang Xun a kick “What are you waiting for? Get out of here! From today on you’re no longer the vice president of Sheng Qin Group.”

    “Yes yes yes I’m leaving I’m leaving right now.”

    Wang Xun filled with joy at having survived crawled up and ran out of the conference room.

    Jiang Yaohai felt somewhat emotional. This was the difference between people.

    As the general manager he outranked Wang Xun yet couldn’t do anything to him.

    But Xu Shaochen who wasn’t even part of Sheng Qin Group had casually stripped Wang Xun of his vice president position with just a few words.
