You Screwed Me Over!

209: Chapter 209: Idiot!

You Screwed Me Over!

The business van sped along the road.

Wang Taixiong remained silent, not daring to interrupt.

Wu Jie quickly browsed through the relevant materials.

His father-in-law was really something.

It was all because, during his time in the military, he had heard that the composite materials used in fighter jets were light and performed well, more expensive than gold yet still a necessity.

After his successful startup, he didn’t hesitate to invest heavily in composite materials.

From technology transfer to independent research and development, to leading the industry…

And the reason for such leapfrog development wasn’t just because Tang Long continually pumped money into it, but also because of General Manager Huo Bin.

Huo Bin was not only a high-achieving student in materials science but also a business genius.

He was aggressive and eager for quick success.

If independent R&D didn’t work, he would seek technical cooperation at home and abroad.

If cooperation didn’t work, he would spend money to hire commercial spies to steal.

He was too obsessed with achievements and reputation, always wanting to be number one.

Publicly, he was heavily involved in scientific research.

In private, he set up a slush fund for commercial espionage.

So much so that now, it’s hard to tell which are genuinely independently developed and which are “knockoffs” of foreign products.

…

Seeing Wu Jie’s grim expression, Wang Taixiong next to him could hardly restrain himself.

“Brother, General Huo is different from us.

He’s not greedy or lustful, he just loves fame!”

“All kinds of praise and admiration, award ceremonies, forum lectures, he’s utterly lost in flowers and applause and can’t extricate himself!”

Wu Jie sneered, “What kind of person he is, I haven’t even seen him.

On the other hand, you’re so eager to follow here, what does that mean?”

Wang Taixiong immediately raised his hand and said loudly:

“I swear to God, I have no vested interest with him.

I’m just afraid that if he dies, there will be no one to rush to the front!”

“He also wants to spin off Tianyuan Tang’s Chemical Industry and go public independently, raising money for research and development, even more aggressive than I am.”

Wu Jie smiled faintly, too lazy to speak.

Hum～

The business van sped on, quickly entering the factory area.

Below the office building, a number of employees had gathered.

On the windowsill of the fifth floor, a bald man was perched.

He was looking around, occasionally shouting into the room, his emotions highly agitated.

“Quick!

Move away!

Mr.

Wu is here!”

In the crowd, Shi Cheng shouted loudly.

Wu Jie got out of the car, turned to Wang Taixiong, and said:

“You stay downstairs.

Maybe if he sees you’re fine, he won’t want to jump anymore!

If you come up with me, he might misunderstand that you’re already under the control of the Supervision Department!”

Wang Taixiong gave a thumbs up: “Brother, you really think of everything.

Then I’ll just watch how you save him!”

“Save?”

Wu Jie snorted coldly and walked away.

Outside the general manager’s office on the fifth floor, a swarm of people had gathered.

When they saw Wu Jie appear, they all stepped back, nodding and greeting him.

“It’s the middle of the day, don’t stand around here, go have lunch if it’s time, go to sleep if it’s time!”

Wu Jie shooed away the onlookers and walked into the simple and unadorned office with his hands behind his back.

There were no expensive decorations, but there were two large shelves filled with trophies and medals.

Yu Hui stepped back two steps when he saw Wu Jie coming.

“General Huo, don’t get agitated.

Our Director Wu is here.

If you have anything to say, talk to him!”

Having said this, Yu Hui and the others hurried away.

After the door closed, Wu Jie lit a cigarette, pulled over a chair to sit, and glanced sideways at Huo Bin, who was perched on the windowsill.

Plump and pale, with hardly a hair on his head.

His thick glasses looked like they could be bulletproof.

The most crucial point was…

That pitiful look, like a bullied wife, he was almost in tears.

“I heard from Yu Lianping that Mr.

Wu cherishes talent and that as long as I admit my mistakes voluntarily, you will let bygones be bygones!”

“I admit to inflating research expenditures and hiring people to steal secrets, but I did it all for the company’s good!”

“Otherwise, how could we have gone from nothing to industry leaders in just a few years?”

“I swear to God, I didn’t pocket a single penny, I don’t want to go to jail!”

Wu Jie couldn’t help but laugh, “You don’t have the courage to go to jail, yet you have the courage to jump off a building?”

“I…

I was just trying to scare them!”

Huo Bin said with an awkward laugh.

“Scare people?” Wu Jie cursed angrily, “Do you have any idea how much trouble you’ve caused me?

I didn’t get my dinner, I didn’t get to sleep with the girl, and you made me come all this way.

So go on and jump then!”

Huo Bin was speechless with shock.

Is this how you convince someone?

I’m actually about to jump off a building here!

Shouldn’t you be gently persuading me, earnestly and tenderly trying to talk me out of it?

Sitting there smoking and crossing your legs like some old grandpa.

“Director Wu, I’ll come down now, I won’t jump!”

“Go ahead and jump!

You’re no relation to me, today’s our first meeting.

Whether you live or die is none of my business!” Wu Jie said, taking a drag of his cigarette, blowing out a ring of smoke, and coldly added:

“But if you’re going to jump, pick a good spot.

If you jump here, there are trees and grass below – you won’t die for sure, but you’ll end up handicapped or even paralyzed.

In the end, it will still be your family who suffers.”

“So I advise you if you’re going to jump, head to the elevator corridor.

I like that window there.

Jumping down will land you on concrete – hard enough to ensure you’re smashed to a pulp and won’t be left half-alive to make you and your family suffer!”

Huo Bin turned deathly pale.

Damn!

He couldn’t imagine just how tragic it would be to end up paralyzed and bedridden for a lifetime.

He dared not even think about how horrifically gruesome it would be to become a pulpy mess.

Seeing Huo Bin hesitate indecisively, Wu Jie snuffed out the cigarette and suddenly stood up.

“What are you dawdling for?

Come down now.

Do you really want to end up half-paralyzed?”

Huo Bin nodded repeatedly, immediately trying to lift his left leg to step inside.

But…

His foot had not made it through the window when he bumped into the glass, lost his balance, and was about to fall.

Wu Jie instantly sprinted forward, reaching out like lightning and grabbed Huo Bin’s right hand.

Holding nearly 200 pounds of Huo Bin’s weight was damn heavy!

Meanwhile, there were immediate cries of alarm from below.

Screams and exclamations were resounding everywhere.

“Holy shit!

Are you a transformed pig?

How can you be so heavy?”

Wu Jie’s face reddened as he gritted his teeth and strained to slowly pull Huo Bin up.

He gripped Huo Bin’s belt at the small of his back and yanked him hard into the room.

With a thud,

Huo Bin was dumped heavily onto the floor, his face as white as paper.

Frozen as if under a spell, he didn’t move at all, staring blankly.

“Damn it!

My luck really turned sour today, running into a piece of trash like you!”

Muttering curses, Wu Jie sat down and seeing no movement from Huo Bin, he yelled:

“What are you still standing there for?

Playing dead?”

Huo Bin came to his senses and slowly, tentatively got up.

“Thank you, Mr.

Wu, for saving my life!”

Wu Jie cursed, “Thank my ass!

I’ve never seen such a screwup like you.

How the hell did you become a general manager with that EQ and IQ?

Just because you know technology and how to plagiarize?”

Huo Bin hung his head in silence.

“You’re over forty, and yet when you do something wrong, it’s like you’re a primary school kid thinking if you keep quiet, it will all go away?”

Wu Jie rolled his eyes and pulled out his phone to call Tang Xiao.

“Huo Bin’s suicide attempt failed; I rescued him.

He wants forgiveness, you talk to him,” Wu Jie said right before Tang Xiao demanded:

“What’s there to talk about?

I’m giving you half an hour.

Bring both Huo Bin and Wang Taixiong to the Group’s headquarters immediately!”

“What?” Wu Jie was stunned.

A bad premonition began to creep into his mind…
