What kind of crappy brother!

670: Chapter 670: Apologize and beg for mercy?

What kind of crappy brother!

Ding dong!

Ding dong!

The doorbell rang, but no one answered.

Anxious and restless, Deng Hua and his companion waited a while before ringing again, but the door remained closed, and their calls were met with a busy line.

Inside the bedroom.

Wu Jie had slept from just after eight in the morning until four in the afternoon and had, of course, already woken up.

He saw many missed calls, but the mysterious miracle drug from Yincheng’s Muto Conglomerate was of even greater importance.

Thus, Wu Jie called Zheng first, making Deng Yong’s attempts to reach him from outside the door naturally in vain.

Today, there was another update from Yincheng.

Mutoh Yoshio warmly led Hittory and his team to tour and inspect the wholly-owned pharmaceutical enterprise of the conglomerate.

They visited the highly confidential medical laboratory, where the group stayed for several hours.

They didn’t even break for lunch, which showed just how interested Hittory and his team were in the secrets hidden there.

Additionally, Zheng mentioned that the External Affairs Bureau had specifically borrowed a reconnaissance satellite.

Through various means including infrared visible light and synthetic aperture radar imaging, they conducted their investigation.

While they failed to uncover the exact structure and internal secrets, they could confirm it was an incredibly vast underground complex.

Almost the entire mountain had been hollowed out, and, according to estimates by intelligence analysts proficient in architecture, it could accommodate thousands of people for research and living purposes.

To destroy it, multiple bunker-busting missiles would be required; ideally, nuclear warheads would do the job.

Because the mountain was solid enough and the structure of reinforced concrete made it highly resistant to strikes.

And Yincheng’s Muto Conglomerate, what secret research were they conducting in such a massive underground base?

Spies couldn’t infiltrate it, so it remained a mystery.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Jie immediately contacted Yu Hui.

He asked him to reach out to the forces local to Yincheng and focus their investigation on this underground base.

It would be best to find an insider at the base to clarify what exactly was happening inside.

What medical experiments were being conducted with so many live subjects?

What kind of mysterious miracle drug could attract the attention of the Rosdelle Auxiliary Business Association?

Would it be possible to obtain photos, videos, or even scientific research data from inside?

As long as the mystery could be solved, money was no object.

Afterward.

Wu Jie contacted the infrastructure engineering department of the group; the Shu Chuan West Mountain Expressway Kilometer Company, with an investment of fifty billion, had been established.

From surveying work, project applications, and environmental approvals to starting the construction work.

There were too many tasks to be managed, and since Wu Jie was not trained in civil engineering, he naturally delegated authority to them.

At worst, he would offer high salaries and benefits; surely, this would attract plenty of talent.

Our country is known as the ‘Infrastructure Maniac’; constructing bridges and roads among various projects is a yearly affair.

World-class engineering challenges are a breeze.

As long as one is willing to spend money, there’s no road too difficult to mend, no tunnel too challenging to bore, no bridge too daunting to construct…

After ensuring the plans for building roads that would benefit his hometown were set, Wu Jie finally picked up Deng Hua’s call.

“Brother, are you home?”

“Of course I am!

What’s up?”

“There’s really an urgent matter, we’re waiting outside the door, quickly open up!”

With a grunt, Wu Jie slightly furrowed his brows but didn’t think too much of it and immediately went to open the door.

After all, he was the only one at home.

Wu Jie opened the door in his boxers.

And back in college dorm life for four years, who didn’t wander from room to room, playing games in their boxers during summer nights?

The door opened.

Deng Hua immediately glanced nervously into the living room.

“You’re the only one at home, right?”

“Yeah!

How come you two suddenly showed up?

Isn’t it before five o’clock yet, you left work early to come here?”

Wu Jie invited them to sit in the living room, passed around the cigarettes, lit one up, propped up his legs on the coffee table, and watched Deng Hua and company with a chuckle.

Deng Hua and Chen Yong sat without speaking, exchanging glances as if trying to decide who would speak first.

“What’s going on with you two?

Did you cheat, or have you both turned gay?”

The two men sitting opposite Wu Jie were both seated upright, not slouching on the sofa, clearly very tense and uncomfortable.

Chen Yong, feeling somewhat guilty, smoked his cigarette in small, silent drags.

Deng Hua’s home situation was even worse, after all, he owed Wu Jie over a million!

So naturally, he couldn’t help but take the initiative to speak first.

“Brother, here’s the situation.

This afternoon…”

Deng Hua recounted the entire incident from start to finish in great detail.

Wu Jie listened while slowly taking puffs from his cigarette, his expression ambiguously amused, making it unclear whether he felt happiness, anger, sorrow, or enjoyment.

As Deng Hua talked, he kept an eye on Wu Jie.

When it came to laying off more than two hundred employees, Wu Jie’s brow noticeably furrowed, though he didn’t make any further comments.

“…That’s the whole situation.

Chen is merely jobless, which isn’t too bad, but I’m facing a hopeless future with a massive debt!”

“Of course, the most tragic is Chu Yunxuan; she’s downstairs preparing to return goods to the vendors and urgently looking for a new place to move!”

“The most troublesome part is that our reputations are ruined!

People know we were terminated, not that we left for better jobs.”

“In Tianyuan, the influence of the Tang Family and the Tanglong Industrial Group is too profound.

Who dares to hire people fired by your wife, Tang Xiao?”

At this, Wu Jie stood up and flicked his cigarette ash.

His lips curled into a sneer as he looked at the two people, overwhelmed with guilt and grief.

“So, what is it you’re here for?

To complain to me that Tang Xiao was too harsh on you, or to beg me for mercy and ask for a way out?”

“I…”

Deng Hua clenched his teeth, “I’m sorry, brother.

We’re not here to complain.

It’s our own lack of ability and attitude that’s the problem.

We can’t handle such a high-end job, and we’re not meeting the company’s needs to grow and strengthen!”

“So, firing us, over two hundred people, we completely understand.

Don’t blame your wife; after all, the company isn’t a retirement home, and you, Jie, have no obligation to spend money to let us retire.

We’re here to apologize, guilty for not living up to your trust and the responsibilities you gave us!”

“Secondly, we’re also hoping to see if, based on our past friendship, you might give us a means to make a living!

After all…

You know the situation at my home.

Without a job, it’s not just paying you back that’s impossible, even living will become a problem.”

Wu Jie sighed, giving a wry smile.

“What am I supposed to say?

Last time, without telling me, you invested fifty million into Bai Fengling and gave plenty of advertisements!”

“If I didn’t care about saving face, I would have fired you all long ago.

But I didn’t.

I gave you respect, I gave you chances!”

“But what about you?

Not only are you not ambitious, which I could tolerate…”

“But taking bribes from merchants, what’s that all about?”

Wu Jie raised a finger, pointing at the two men.

“You’re dressed nicely, huh!

I didn’t even wear Versace or Armani to my wedding, yet you guys managed to bag them first!”

“You keep saying we’re brothers, but how come I never got any of these free samples you speak of?

Why not let me experience what it feels like to wear luxury brands, huh?”

Chen Yong whispered, “You’re so rich, why would you need us to give you anything!”

“Rich my ass!”

Wu Jie snapped angrily, “Doesn’t the whole world know I’m just a pretty boy living off a woman’s money?”

“Don’t you see me sleeping at home in broad daylight, conserving my energy?”

This time, Wu Jie was truly infuriated.

There’s a saying, “When one man gains power, even his pets ascend to heaven!”

Wu Jie did want to promote and take care of them!

That’s why he set up a company, eager to look after his friends and old classmates!

High salaries, high benefits, he gave them enough trust, putting them in positions of power.

But what was the result?

Goddamn, they were just too disappointing!

It’s okay if skills are lacking, as long as one is willing to learn.

Even if one is unwilling to learn, just having a good attitude would suffice.

But goddamn it, not even that.

Without explicit company rules, they just freely took all kinds of samples.

These are luxury goods costing a pretty penny, not some crappy samples.

It’s clear as day—it’s bribery.

Are they fooling a three-year-old child?

And this burst of anger truly made Deng Hua and Chen Yong feel like their livers and guts were being torn apart, their whole bodies trembling.

Seeing them looking so pitiful, Wu Jie became even more incensed.

“What I hate most are those who are brazen when they err, but the moment they’re caught, they hurry to whine and beg for mercy.

What the hell were you doing earlier?”

“I never expected you guys to repay the favor.

I just wanted to lead my friends to wealth and success.

What the hell were you guys thinking?”

“Don’t tell me Chu Yunxuan forced you to take the bribes together or that she forced you to wear those designer clothes and watches!”

“Human ambition and greed are terrifying.

Once you start accepting bribes, you’ll just keep getting greedier and make bigger mistakes!”

“We’re all adults here.

Can’t you think before you act, put a little heart into it?”

“I’ve been loyal to you, and this is how you repay me?

Stabbing me in the back?”

“Caught red-handed by my wife, you get fired, and now you come crawling to me for a lifeline.

Why didn’t you come clean about the group bribery back then?”

“And when you gave Chu Yunxuan that fifty million without even getting my consent, did you ask for my opinion?”

“In your eyes, am I your brother, or your boss?

Or maybe just some idiot with more money than sense, easy to deceive?”

Wu Jie finished off his last drag of the cigarette fiercely, stubbed out the butt, and pointed at the door with his hand.

“You want a way out, huh?

Fine!

Go help out at the small farmhouse restaurant, they’re short on waiters!”

“Ah?

Waiters?

This…”

Deng Hua’s mouth twitched slightly, and a flash of displeasure and contempt appeared in his expression and eyes, but he quickly lowered his head.

Chen Yong was about to speak as well but quickly bowed his head too.

However…

Wu Jie saw everything, his eyes narrowing into a cold sneer.

“What, becoming a restaurant waiter demeans your talents, does it?”

“I often work there as a chef myself!

Even my parents work there as waiters!”

“You really think you’re something, don’t you?

Assume that because you graduated from a key university, you should be a shiny collar worker, huh?”

“Alright then!

Go find yourself a shiny job.

Don’t come begging me for a way out; I can’t afford to shelter such esteemed beings in my small temple!”

With that, Wu Jie stood up and left.

Deng Hua and Chen Yong rose to their feet anxiously.

“Brother!

Jie…

Mr.

Wu…

we’ll go…

we’re going right away!”

Not daring to follow him, the two men looked at each other and hurried down the stairs to help in the restaurant.

Wu Jie didn’t respond to them and went straight to the study to retrieve the hidden storage card and phone.

The photos and videos inside were ironclad evidence of Chu Yunxuan’s schemes to set Wu Jie up.

Wu Jie went back to his room, put on athletic shorts and a tee, slipped into his flip-flops, and went downstairs to settle the account with Chu Yunxuan.

This self-righteous woman had set him up not once but many times!

And today, this account had to be settled…
