Chapter Eight: I Want to Resign
Zhuo Yang casually tossed the jade pendant to Dongfang Jiye, and then asked him to leave the room for the rest of the treatment, as he needed to give Dongfang Ke'er a full-body massage.
The girl was shy, but her skeletal figure didn't really pique Zhuo Yang's interest...
The process lasted for more than an hour, after which Dongfang Ke'er actually came out on her own, and seemed to have become much more voluptuous.
Zhuo Yang uses his Thunderfire True Essence combined with special techniques to revive even those on the verge of death.
Dongfang Jiye stared at his daughter in astonishment, almost unable to believe his eyes.
Dongfang Ke'er stood gracefully, still very thin, but in good spirits. Her big eyes were shy, and she kept looking at Zhuo Yang.
"Eat more food and exercise more in the future, and in less than a month you will have a healthy body like other girls!" Zhuo Yang said calmly.
"Yes, thank you, big brother." Dongfang Ke'er responded sweetly, her thin little face full of shyness.
Dongfang Jiye saw this and his heart skipped a beat: Could it be that my darling likes him? But she's only eighteen...
He pulled Zhuo Yang aside and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhuo Yang, please keep the check safe, it's twenty million!"
Zhuo Yang asked in surprise, "Wasn't it ten million?"
“Ten million is too little.” Dongfang Jiye waved his hand generously. “I think even twenty million would be too little. It’s just that if I give too much money, I’m afraid Mr. Zhuo Yang will think I have something else to ask for, so…”
He chuckled awkwardly as he spoke.
Zhuo Yang understood that he genuinely needed a favor, and since he was short of money, he said frankly, "Mr. Dongfang, please speak. We'll settle this with a cash payment!"
Dongfang Jiye became increasingly embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he said in a low voice, "It's like this, my daughter has been sick for several years and doesn't have many friends. I think Mr. Zhuo Yang is not very old. If he could come and keep my daughter company more often, that would be the best."
"It's no big deal," Zhuo Yang said with a smile. "I'll come every few days to massage Ke'er and clear her meridians. I also think she has good aptitude, so I'll teach her some qi-cultivation techniques to prolong her life."
It's still a matter of lacking money, but with 20 million, Zhuo Yang already has a plan. Coincidentally, the person in front of him is the richest man in Lingzhou, with extensive connections...
Just then, Zhuo Yang's cell phone rang from his bag.
When I picked it up and looked at the caller ID, I was surprised to see that it was Zhu Ziwang, the company's department manager, calling.
"Zhuo Yang, look at the time! You're almost two hours late. Do you even want to come to work?"
Zhu Ziwang's roar came through the phone, which was infuriating to hear.
Zhuo Yang shrugged and said to Dongfang Jiye, "Something has come up at the company, I have to go."
Zhu Ziwang of Fuhai Trading has been ganging up with people in his department to bully Zhuo Yang. The Wang family must be behind this!
Wang family, I, Zhuo Yang, have arrived!
Before leaving, Zhuo Yang said to Dongfang Jiye, "Miss Dongfang's illness was caused by a problem with the cloud-patterned jade pendant she was wearing, but I have already resolved it. That's all I have to say!"
"That jade pendant with cloud pattern was a gift from Ke'er's maternal grandmother..." Dongfang Jiye's face turned ashen. Ke'er's mother is gone. You're already plotting against my property, and now you're trying to harm Ke'er too.
After leaving his contact information, Dongfang Jiye arranged for a car to take Zhuo Yang away.
Dongfang Jiye and his men saw him off at the door. He said in a low voice, "Steward, tell someone to keep an eye on Zhuo Yang. If he gets into trouble, don't tell me, just help him immediately!"
The old butler hurriedly asked, "Master, Mr. Zhuo Yang is a highly skilled physician and also knows magic. Do we need to help him?"
"This is an opportunity. If the Dongfang family wants to advance further, money alone is far from enough." Dongfang Jiye smiled mysteriously. "Go and do it quickly. You must find a way to win over Zhuo Yang; he is a true master sage!"
The old steward suddenly realized what was going on and immediately went to give instructions to his men.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Ke'er pouted and said defiantly, "Dad, you're scheming against me again!"
Dongfang Jiye quickly changed his expression and teased, "I'm just thinking of you. Zhuo Yang is such an outstanding person, are you willing to let him be taken away by another woman?"
"Dad!" Dongfang Ke'er was so embarrassed that she ran away quickly.
When Dongfang Jiye saw his daughter running, he was so frightened that he immediately ordered his men to follow her...
……
At 11:30 a.m., Zhuo Yang went home to change his clothes and cut his long hair into short clumps before arriving at the company located in the center of Lingzhou City—Fuhai Commercial Group, whose building is 28 stories high.
Fuhai Trading has a wide range of businesses, both domestically and internationally, as well as its subsidiaries in manufacturing and real estate. It is a top-tier conglomerate in Lingzhou, comparable to the Dongfang family.
Zhuo Yang was once proud to work at this company, and his dream was to study hard at Fuhai Trade and lay the foundation for starting his own business in the future.
Looking at the building now, Zhuo Yang gave a cold smile.
"Squeak..." Little Diao poked its head out of the backpack, expressing its dissatisfaction: I've been locked in this backpack all morning!
Zhuo Yang casually stuffed a piece of chocolate into her mouth, and the little rascal immediately lost her temper and shrank back into her backpack.
Upon arriving on the eighth floor via elevator, Zhuo Yang appeared in the office lobby, immediately drawing disdainful glances from his colleagues.
"I'm three hours late, it's almost lunchtime!"
"He's not worried at all; he'll definitely be at the bottom of the sales rankings at the end of the month anyway!"
"This is called 'having too many lice makes you stop itching'."
Zhuo Yang ignored it, which was a habit he had developed. This was the atmosphere in the domestic sales department, entirely driven by manager Zhu Ziwang.
With a loud bang, the door to the manager's office was flung open, and Zhu Ziwang, who was so obese that he could only afford custom-made suits, strode in.
Too fat, looks like a ball rolling around.
"You have the nerve to show your face here for a work lunch, huh?" Zhu Ziwang rushed over and pointed at Zhuo Yang's nose, cursing loudly.
Zhuo Yang frowned: "Please watch your mouth, and you have bad breath, stay away from me!"
She pushed Zhu Ziwang two steps away; he was too physically strong and couldn't stand the taste in his mouth.
"Oh my god?" Zhu Ziwang was astonished. He never expected that this guy, who had always been as soft as a noodle, would actually dare to fight him.
Zhuo Yang turned to the side. "The restroom is over there. Go by yourself."
Um? ?
Zhu Ziwang is confused, what does that mean?
"Didn't you have a stomachache and need to go to the toilet?" Zhuo Yang feigned surprise.
"..."
Everyone in the office lobby gaped. This guy actually dared to flirt with the manager? Was he still half asleep?
Feeling insulted, Zhu Ziwang roared in fury, "You're getting bolder and bolder! Who gave you the guts? Do you want your bonus or not?"
"I received a prize?" Zhuo Yang was surprised again.
"That's because you're as stupid as a pig!" Zhu Ziwang was so angry that the fat muscles on his face were trembling. "Believe me or not, I'll fire you right now!"
"That suits me perfectly." Zhuo Yang smiled faintly. "I originally came here to resign, but you've been calling me for so long that I haven't had a chance to say it."
"Huh?" Zhu Ziwang looked astonished. "You're both poor and stupid. What will you eat if you quit your job?"
At the same time, I was thinking: He's gone, and I'm losing a huge amount of income!
"You don't need to worry about that." Zhuo Yang walked to the photocopier, pulled out a sheet of four, wrote a resignation letter in front of everyone, and handed it to Zhu Ziwang.
Seeing the resignation letter with only the words "Resignation" and the signature, Zhu Ziwang felt insulted once again.
Especially this guy who despises himself, who usually acts as stupid as a pig!
"I disagree!" Zhu Ziwang tore up the resignation letter and roared, "What do you think this place is, where you can just walk away whenever you want?"
Zhuo Yang frowned and asked, "Didn't you keep saying I was dragging everyone down and that you were going to fire me? Now you're leaving on your own, is that not allowed?"
"I said no, and that's final!" Zhu Ziwang sneered. "Without a pig-like idiot like you, Sales Department Three would be much less fun!"
"Hahaha……"
He then burst into laughter.
Then everyone in the office lobby started laughing, bending over with mirth...
