Si Zhengting frowned at the caller’s furious tone.
His gaze landed on the bathroom door. Was Zhuang Nainai in trouble?
He pressed his lips tightly together and kept quiet. The man on the line snorted, “Nothing to say now? Do you think you can get away with it by keeping quiet? Let me tell you, if you want to quit, fine! Then pay the company compensation for the breach of work contract! You get close to ten thousand dollars a month for salary and commission. The compensation is three times your monthly salary, that’s thirty thousand dollars! If you don’t bring the sum to me tomorrow, I’ll see you in court!”
Compensation?
In court?
Si Zhengting caught these sensitive words. Manager w.a.n.g laughed coldly into the phone. “Zhuang Nainai, it doesn’t matter what the court ruling will be, the company will make sure you go down with all the legal expenses! You’ve brought this on yourself. Did you think you can live in peace after offending the daughter of the CEO of the Imperial Group’s Jiahua company? No way!”
Jiahua company CEO?
Some man named Xue Chenggong?
The Imperial Group held many corporations, with each holding many companies. Jiahua company was just a small company in the Imperial Group, so insignificant that the CEO’s name was only vaguely familiar to Si Zhengting.
But what did this Manager w.a.n.g just say?
Si Zhengting’s eyes grew cold. He still did not speak.
Manager w.a.n.g continued, “Zhuang Nainai, it was just a simple apology and bowing to Ms. Xue, but you had to go blow the matter up. Ms. Xue has said it, she will never let you see the end of it unless you kneel down in front of her now.”
Kneel down in front of her?
Si Zhengting’s fingers tightened around the phone. His eyes narrowed, and a deathly glint flashed in them. He replied in a low voice, “Impossible!”
Manager w.a.n.g did not expect that the person on the other end was a man. He could feel the chill and menace even from across the phone. Stunned, he asked tentatively, “I-is this Zhuang Nainai’s number?”
“Yes.”
Manager w.a.n.g cleared his throat and asked, “Then, you are?”
Si Zhengting paused for a second and replied, “Her husband.”
Manager w.a.n.g was startled. “When did Zhuang Nainai get married?”
Si Zhengting’s icy cold voice shut him up. “None of your business.”
Manager w.a.n.g did not dare to speak another word, but he suddenly remembered that Zhuang Nainai was just a poor girl. What kind of big shot could her husband be? Why fear him?
Manager w.a.n.g cleared his throat and continued, “Since you are her husband, I might as well let you know. Tell her to come to the office with the thirty thousand dollars tomorrow! And I suggest that she go apologize to Ms. Xue! Ms. Xue has said that she will not let her off easily! Oh, you don’t know who she is, do you? Let me tell you, her father is the CEO of the Imperial Group’s Jiahua company! Scared now? You convince her too, it’s just a simple apology, these days…”
Si Zhengting ended the call and looked towards the bathroom.
So she resigned today not because she wanted to escape him, but because… she was bullied at work?
Her strong unconcerned look did not show it, though.
Right then, the water in the bathroom stopped running. Zhuang Nainai’s head popped out from a crack in the door.
It had been quiet outside for too long, she wanted to check if Si Zhengting had left the room.
