Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Fire Me, Don’t Beg Me to Come Back

"Who’s looking for me?"

When Xiao Zheng spoke, he was still drowsy, even more absurd was that he yawned, as if afraid people wouldn’t realize he was sleeping.

"Look at this, sleeping during work hours. What kind of behavior is this!"

Zhang Xiaohe caught Xiao Zheng sleeping, seizing the opportunity to make a scene right then and there.

"Hehe, it’s you again? Is there something you need from me?" Xiao Zheng asked with a laugh upon seeing the visitor was Zhang Xiaohe.

Mo Anna almost choked on her own blood at the side. She really admired Xiao Zheng’s nerve, thinking how incredibly laid-back he was in such a situation, still cheerfully asking others what they wanted from him.

"What’s the matter? Hahahaha." Zhang Xiaohe burst into laughter, then said, "Manager Wang, I’ll let you do the talking!"

After speaking, Zhang Xiaohe looked at Xiao Zheng with contempt.

Manager Wang nodded, then walked up close to Xiao Zheng and disdainfully announced, "Xiao Zheng, I am formally notifying you that after discussion by the HR department, you’re fired. From this moment, you are no longer an employee of this company. You have ten minutes to collect your belongings. If you take longer than ten minutes, don’t blame me for having security throw you out."

Everyone was stunned.

Mo Anna quickly said, "Manager Wang, you’re firing my subordinate. Shouldn’t you at least have my consent?"

"Your consent?" Zhang Xiaohe laughed, then said intriguingly to Mo Anna, "Director Mo, I really admire this gesture of yours, but if you truly want to help him, I’m giving you a chance tonight to persuade me."

Tonight, a chance, to persuade?!

His words sparked endless speculation.

Mo Anna’s face darkened; she knew Zhang Xiaohe had always had designs on her, but each time she saw his face, she felt the urge to vomit.

"Hehe, Minister Zhang must be jesting," said Mo Anna, clearly not intending to agree.

If she truly needed someone’s help to prevent Xiao Zheng from being fired, Mo Anna would not go to Zhang Xiaohe. Wouldn’t it be better to seek someone with a higher position?

"In that case, Mr. Xiao, please collect your things and leave the company immediately," Zhang Xiaohe said with a sneer.

Having watched the drama unfold, Xiao Zheng was no longer sleepy. He looked at Zhang Xiaohe with interest, not expecting that this little man actually had the clout to fire people on the spot.

"I’ve been fired?" Xiao Zheng touched his chin and said playfully, "Okay, I’m leaving! But it might be hard to ask me back later."

Regret, ask you back?

Zhang Xiaohe and Manager Wang broke into laughter, thinking Xiao Zheng was still half-asleep, talking in his dreams!

"Hahahaha! It’s the funniest joke I’ve heard all year," Zhang Xiaohe mocked.

Xiao Zheng laughed as well. He couldn’t be bothered to argue with these people. Since they were so eager to see him leave, leave he would, and in time, someone would deal with them.

"Alright, save your energy. I don’t have any belongings here. I’m off, bye."

Having said that, Xiao Zheng walked away, all nonchalance and ease.

"Try to fight me, I’ll make you wish you were dead!"

Zhang Xiaohe’s voice oozed scorn behind him, but Xiao Zheng paid it no mind.

...

Not long after Xiao Zheng left, a Bentley pulled up at the entrance of the company; the person who got out was Leng Qingxuan.

As Leng Ruobing’s half-brother by the same father, their relationship was actually quite shallow, merely connected by some blood ties and nothing more.

Leng Qingxuan walked into the company, still carrying a breakfast in his hand.

"Chairman Leng, good morning!"

"Chairman Leng, hello!"

A group of people greeted Leng Qingxuan respectfully as they saw him.

Leng Qingxuan responded with a smile. Although Qianqiu Company was now under the control of Leng Ruobing, he was also a member of the board of directors, holding a considerable amount of Qianqiu Group’s shares, and his power was immense.

He had come this time to deliver breakfast to Xiao Zheng.

Ever since the incident at Huahai Manor, Leng Qingxuan had an epiphany, realizing that Xiao Zheng’s identity was far from simple.

What status did Luo Yusheng of Luo Sheng Sect have? That was a personage among the big shots in Zhonghai, yet in front of Xiao Zheng, even Luo Yusheng had to curry favor with him.

Leng Qingxuan was no fool, he wasn’t one of those second-generation rich who just idled away their time; both his IQ and EQ were high. Although he couldn’t find out Xiao Zheng’s exact status, he knew that it was definitely not simple.

Knowing that Xiao Zheng was in the sales department, Leng Qingxuan went straight there and pushed the door to enter. He saw a group of people all standing there.

"Uh, Chairman Leng? What brings you here?"

At this moment, everyone noticed Leng Qingxuan’s arrival, and Zhang Xiaohe immediately came up to him, still with a sycophantic demeanor.

"Director Mo." Leng Qingxuan ignored Zhang Xiaohe and went directly to Mo Anna, "Director Mo, where is Xiao Zheng? I have something to discuss with him."

Leng Qingxuan looking for Xiao Zheng? Everybody present was taken aback.

The crowd was bewildered; they didn’t know what business Leng Qingxuan had with Xiao Zheng, but considering the status and position of both, it seemed unlikely they would know each other.

Mo Anna didn’t know why Leng Qingxuan was there nor if he had any relationship with Xiao Zheng, so she could only tell the truth: "Xiao Zheng was just here a moment ago, but now Minister Zhang and Manager Wang have dismissed him."

Dismissed just now?

Cold sweat started to stream down Leng Qingxuan’s face, and his hands trembled slightly.

"Yes, yes, Chairman Leng, you might not be aware, but this Xiao Zheng was sleeping on the job and also showed disrespect to his leaders; he was simply a scourge in our company!"

Zhang Xiaohe thought that Leng Qingxuan had come for his issue because he had mentioned it to Leng Qingxuan once before, and he felt secretly pleased, thinking he had managed to involve Leng Qingxuan.

"Minister Zhang is right; that Xiao Zheng is utterly arrogant, even saying he wouldn’t come back even if we asked him to, with such an insolent attitude," Manager Wang chimed in from the side.

Mo Anna’s heart sank, realizing the situation was bad. Originally, she had thought of finding someone to work things out, hoping to somehow get Xiao Zheng back, but now that even Leng Qingxuan was involved, it seemed there was no chance for a turnaround anymore.

"Slap~"

Just then, the sound of a slap echoed.

Everyone was stunned, looking in amazement at Zhang Xiaohe who had been slapped, still not understanding what was happening.

"Chairman, Chairman Leng, what is this..."

Zhang Xiaohe was dumbfounded by the slap, not comprehending why Leng Qingxuan would hit him.

"Slap~ Slap~ Slap~"

One slap followed another without a word from Leng Qingxuan, who kept swinging left and right, leaving Zhang Xiaohe and Manager Wang with noses bleeding.

Though puzzled and furious, the two men could only bow their heads and take the blows. If anyone dared to complain, not only would they lose their jobs, but they would likely find no place for themselves in Zhonghai anymore.

"Dammit, now go find Xiao Zheng for me. If you can’t find him, you two pack up and get the hell out of here right now!"
