675: Chapter 675: When You’re Popular, Trouble Follows!

Wu Jie gave an awkward smile.

He quickly took his father’s phone outside the store to reply to Tang Xiao.

“Is something urgent?

I was hungry after waking up, so I came to the store to eat.

I forgot my phone!”

Tang Xiao hummed a response, then hurriedly said:

“Two things, first, I visited your company today…”

Tang Xiao briefly explained signing the investment holding contract and the staff downsizing.

After listening, Wu Jie laughed and said:

“No problem, I made the software too perfect, and the employees are fed up with nothing to do, bored out of their minds!”

“Those three acting as executives got arrogant all of a sudden.

Without any check on their power, it’s normal to make mistakes.

“But we’re all friends after all, so I’ll consider it and see if they should get another chance.”

Tang Xiao said with a faint smile, “That’s up to you.

I’m just dealing with things objectively and professionally!”

“From a personal standpoint, of course I hope they all become rich and successful.

I’d wish for everyone in the world to be free from worry over food and clothing.”

“But that’s not realistic.

The company must be profitable and to grow, it must be streamlined and efficient, and everyone must use their talents!”

Wu Jie laughed and said, “Listening to you, I seem to be quite unsuited to be the company’s president!”

“Right!

That’s why I fired you too!”

Tang Xiao said laughingly off the cuff.

“Ah???”

Wu Jie was instantly shocked.

Damn!

A domineering CEO wife sure is domineering!

I’m the company founder, I’m the major shareholder!

And yet, I was fired without even knowing.

Such breath-taking tactics!

“Don’t be so surprised!

Although your technical skills are exceptional, managing a company…

really isn’t your forte.

Hence, I’ve poached some high-salary talent – professional managers with a broad vision, market thinking, and more corporate management experience.”

“Each to their own craft.

You can’t possibly handle everything alone, no matter how strong you are.

And you’re lazy too, barely visiting the company once in ten or fifteen days.

Anyway…

you get what I mean, right?”

Tang Xiao seemed worried that Wu Jie might not understand and took the time to explain further.

This kind of patience wouldn’t be afforded to a subordinate.

No way around it!

After all, Wu Jie is her husband!

Wu Jie just smiled.

“Alright, alright!

Since you’re better at business than me, you take the lead from now on!

What’s the second thing?”

Tang Xiao said, “The second thing is about that ‘software conversion tool’ of yours.

After making some noise, it has already caused quite a stir in the industry and has successfully attracted the attention of international giants like Apple, Google, and Microsoft…”

“…That’s roughly the plan.

Right now, I’m flying to Qicheng overnight.

After meeting with the president of Microsoft Asia-Pacific, I will meet with representatives from Apple and Google tomorrow morning, and in the afternoon, fly to Aseyah to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the Zhuzhou SAM project!”

“I’m handling this matter as if you’ve fully entrusted it to me.

Anyone and any force reaching out to you, no matter the offer, just turn them away.

Let me deal with it, to avoid affecting the overall plan.

Understood?”

Wu Jie laughed and said, “Of course, I’m actually happy for some peace and quiet!”

“Peace and quiet?

While I’m away these days, you better behave yourself.

If I find out you’ve been messing around with some siren, watch out—I might just snip snip in the middle of the night and rid you of your manhood!”

Tang Xiao warned with a threatening tone.

Wu Jie suddenly felt a chill down his spine and instinctively looked down.

“Don’t worry!

I’m saving my energy for when you get back!”

“You lecher, just go eat your food.

I still have to work on the negotiation strategy.

Remember to tell Mom and Dad for me, I won’t chat with you any longer!”

“Okay!

Wife, you’re working hard.

Love you!” Wu Jie said playfully.

Tang Xiao snorted lightly and then hung up the phone.

Landing such a smart and capable wife with a strong sense of business, truly, I am blessed for three lifetimes!

With a wife like this, what more could a husband want?

Pocketing the phone, he went back into the store and handed it back to his father.

“There’s a big business deal.

Xiao has to go on a business trip for a few days and wants me to let you know.”

“Besides…”

Wu Jie glanced over the hall and saw Deng Hua and Chen Yong, feeling exasperated.

“You two should head off early to rest.

If you have time during the day, feel free to come by, but the store is no longer short on hands, no need to tire yourselves out!”

Wu Jianguo hummed a response, his hand pointing to Joy who was helping carry plates, his gaze flicking toward Zhang Hao.

“I’m telling you, Haizhu, you really aren’t picky.

You’d dive in with that kind of woman?”

“Aren’t you afraid of attracting a sticky mess that you won’t be able to shake off later?”

Zhang Hao laughed and said, “Uncle, you’re overthinking it.

I’m broke and powerless.

If she’s trying to cozy up to me, it’s because she’s hoping Jie will give her a chance to livestream!

As long as Jie doesn’t give in, I get a free woman, why not?”

“Damn!

You’re setting me up!” Wu Jie glared at the grinning Zhang Hao and said annoyedly, “What are you standing around for?

Go make some food for me; I’m so hungry I could eat a cow!”

After shooing Zhang Hao away, Wu Jie couldn’t be bothered to help in the kitchen anymore.

The shop had just hired another chef and waiter, they already had plenty of staff.

He went to the counter to help out with the till, enjoying the thrill of being recognized by fans like a celebrity.

No helping it!

Who made me go viral multiple times online, turning me into an internet sensation?

With frequent exposure and a well-known name, plus not being dressed as a chef tonight, without a mask to cover his face, it was naturally easy for him to be recognized.

“Oh my, aren’t you Wu Jie, the common man’s role model for ‘Underdog Counterattack’ against the Fair-skinned, Rich and Beautiful?

You are my idol!”

“Idol, so this restaurant is yours!

Can I take a photo with you?”

“Where’s the beautiful CEO?

It would be an even greater honor to have a picture with both of you!”

…

Tsk tsk!

Your fans are not few, are they!

Wu Jie stayed by the cash register, too busy taking photos to do anything else, inevitably basking in a wave of envious and jealous energy points.

Not far away.

Deng Hua and Chen Yong were wiping tables and sweeping floors.

Seeing many young men and women, all like fervent, brainless fans, spinning around Wu Jie, asking questions and taking photos.

The envy and jealousy at the bottom of their eyes, truly impossible to hide!

“Sigh!

Why can Jie be so outstanding?”

“Who asked him to study hard for ten years and even secretly attend tuition classes!”

Chen Yong chuckled, straightened up, and rubbed his aching back.

“Brother, tell me honestly, do we really fall that far behind Jie?”

“If it were you or me that the beautiful CEO fancied, wouldn’t we be enjoying boundless glory now?”

“Car, house, savings, and the background of being the Tianyuan Tang Family’s son-in-law, wouldn’t we also be incredibly cool and awesome?”

“Moreover, Tang Xiao really supports him a lot, co-founding the charity Auxiliary Business Association with him, giving him money to invest in companies, build highways.”

“Even that global bidding fame of his, that 666 offer, it’s obviously Tang Xiao giving him the chance to become famous!”

Hearing Chen Yong’s grumbling.

Deng Hua’s lips slightly lifted, his eyes also filled with envy and discontent.

“Yeah!

He really is lucky.

Sometimes I wonder, he isn’t even that handsome, right?”

“But why, just why did Tang Xiao fancy him?

And there’s also Chu Yunxuan, Bai Fengling, Fang Qingya, Lin Yuan, Tang Xin…

really a crowd of beauties around him, huh!”

With a long sigh, Deng Hua’s gaze caught an astonishing scene.

A stunning beauty with particularly attractive looks was walking and laughing with Zhang Hao.

Exquisite and beautiful in appearance, her figure was also enchanting.

“Damn!

Haizhu actually has a girlfriend!” Deng Hua exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Yong turned his head to glance over.

“Isn’t that obvious?

What’s Haizhu’s relationship with Jie?

They’re sworn friends who grew up together wearing open-crotch trousers, and they share a life-and-death friendship!”

“With Jie hitting the big time, how could his best brother remain unknown?”

As he spoke, Chen Yong’s expression could hardly conceal his jealousy and discontent.

Deng Hua turned his gaze back and glanced once more.

“Look at that face of yours.

Jealous?

Save it, man.

Jie has given us plenty of chances; we just didn’t seize them properly and insisted on messing things up.

Being here to start afresh, that’s already rather decent!”

Tossing the rag into the sink, Deng Hua spoke and was about to leave.

After Chen Yong finished sweeping the floor, he hurriedly followed and took the chance to pull Deng Hua aside.

“Huazi, are you really content with being a waiter here?”

Deng Hua countered, “Otherwise?

I’m in debt to Jie for more than a million.

If I don’t work here, how am I going to repay it?”

“You know about being in huge debt, huh!” Chen Yong bit his teeth and spoke: “I think when Jie gave us the last chance, it might actually have been perfunctory.

Think about it, having us serve as waiters but never mentioning how much we would be paid.”

“What does that make us?

Volunteers?

We need to put food on the table too!

And are we supposed to be waiters for life?

Although we don’t have the capacity to be top business executives, couldn’t we at least be good employees within a company?”

“Serving plates and glasses, wiping tables, sweeping floors, I really feel too stifled!

This is no chance for a fresh start; it’s sheer humiliation.”

“We’re working like dogs, and he, on the other hand, is at the cash register like a celebrity, chatting and taking photos with fans.

It’s simply flaunting!

Showing us how powerful and impressive he is now, how we have to rely on him even for a bite to eat!”

…

Deng Hua frowned slightly.

He knew that Chen Yong, who studied accounting, was particularly sensitive to financial issues, always keen to calculate gains and losses.

But the more he listened, the more he felt something was off.

“Brother, don’t misunderstand Jie.

He’s doing all this for our own good!”

Chen Yong scoffed coldly: “Having us serve for free as waiters, that’s his way of being good to us?

Even inmates get paid for labor in prison, so what are we?

Free slaves?”

Deng Hua was startled and hurriedly looked around.

“Are you insane?”

“I’m not crazy!

I’m perfectly rational!” Chen Yong kept complaining non-stop: “I’m even starting to suspect that Tang Xiao firing us today was actually his idea!”

“As the saying goes, ‘When the birds are no more, the bow is set aside; when the hare is dead, the hound is cooked.’ We joined him in starting the business, struggled together, and now that the company is thriving with a market value in the tens of billions, he’s started his big clean-up!”

“He’s just too embarrassed to say it outright, so he lets his wife Tang Xiao do the dirty work.

A domineering CEO, right?

Fires people at the drop of a hat; it seems normal, and it doesn’t arouse suspicion that it’s his underhanded doing!”

Seeing Deng Hua’s incredulous face, Chen Yong huffed and sneered:

“Don’t disbelieve me!

For something as big as company layoffs, he doesn’t come to the office, that in itself isn’t normal.

And we were meritorious servants.

A little bribe-taking, what’s that to him?”

“”Willing to blame, why worry not to find an excuse!’ Even if we dress plainly today, Tang Xiao could find other reasons to fire us on Wu Jie’s behalf, which is a classic case of betrayal after crossing the river.”

“We brothers begged him, and he still pretended, saying he’d give us one last chance.

Damn…

what kind of chance is serving as waiters?

He’s just making it difficult so we would give up!”

Deng Hua was shocked beyond words.

“Damn!

If you’re right, then what will we do…

what are you thinking of doing next?”
