699: Chapter 699: The Most Poisonous Woman’s Heart?

The crowd was stirred up, creating quite the commotion.

At first listen, one might have thought they had arrived at a bustling wedding service agency.

Passengers in the business class cabin were all afraid of missing out on a good opportunity, chattering away, eager to introduce their friends and family to Wu Jie’s brother and the descendants of the Tang family.

The business class cabin was practically turning into a marketplace, buzzing with noise.

“Ladies and gentlemen, could you please keep it down?”

The chief purser stepped forward to address the situation.

Wu Jie had already resolved Shu Mengyan’s crisis, and if she didn’t step up to say something now, it would really diminish her presence.

Wu Jie’s lips curved into a smile as he coolly scanned the cabin.

“Alright, since everyone is so keen on making introductions, fine, you can always visit my shop when you’re free; the people you’re looking for are there.”

With a light smile, Wu Jie gestured with his hand to quiet down the incessant chatter.

Settling back into his seat, Wu Jie glanced at the smiling chief purser, not bothering to say anything.

From his time in the marketing department of the group, Wu Jie deeply understood how tough it was for newcomers in the workplace.

They were often ordered around loudly, tasked with all sorts of duties; not listen?

Be careful of tattletales.

Ask questions because you don’t understand?

That would only annoy people more.

This chief purser was clearly an old hand in the workplace, remaining silent when Shu Mengyan was trapped in a crisis and forced, in desperation, to kneel and beg for mercy.

Once the crisis had passed, she was out to make her presence known.

And there she was.

She began to go from passenger to passenger, offering apologies with a smile and a bow, and she called Shu Mengyan over to serve the guests with drinks and snacks, pouring tea and making amends with grace.

But was this really necessary?

Wu Jie smiled faintly and glanced at his wristwatch; there was still an hour left before the plane would land.

“I have Word installed on my tablet if you’re in a rush to work on the proposal; take it and use it!”

Bai Fengling suddenly spoke up and handed over her tablet.

Wu Jie glanced sideways at it.

Bai Fengling’s phoenix eyes were truly beautiful—clear, touching, and sparkling with life.

In her eyes, besides concern, there seemed to be a hint of admiration and fondness.

Even though she was wearing a mask, Wu Jie could still see her smile through the expression in her eyes.

The continuous mistakes made by Shu Mengyan and that note had, in Bai Fengling’s eyes, already faded away like smoke, already entirely forgotten and unimportant.

However, she clearly didn’t realize that it was her relentless questioning that had caught the attention of the other passengers, leading them to think that Shu Mengyan was a gold-digging materialistic woman only out for profit and obsessed with vanity.

That she had deliberately prepared many notes in advance, just waiting for the right moment to hand them out to the passengers in order to hook up with a wealthy man…

Or even that she sabotaged Wu Jie’s computer, so that during the airplane’s encounter with turbulence, she could throw herself at him to make a stronger impression…

Bai Fengling might have spoken without thinking, looking at the situation from Wu Jie’s perspective.

But sometimes, people only care about their own thoughts, saying whatever comes to mind, enjoying the momentary thrill of quick wit.

Little do they know…

Kind words warm for three winters, harsh words cut deeper than the cold of June.

If it hadn’t been for Wu Jie’s quick thinking, Bai Fengling would have definitely caused disaster for Shu Mengyan, who would have suffered from complaints and even had the incident uploaded online for widespread infamy.

Of course.

A brand-name laptop enhanced by Wu Jie and a carefully crafted proposal intended to persuade the higher-ups…

When tallied up, the loss was significant.

But had he not stepped in, Shu Mengyan’s life could have been ruined.

She could say goodbye to being a flight attendant, as her reputation would be tarnished, making a good marriage difficult.

It’s easy to destroy someone, like the current online violence, placing oneself on a moral high ground to indiscriminately criticize, insult, and mock others, often driving them to depression and suicide.

Since it wasn’t anything major, and knowing how hard it is for ordinary people to earn money, Wu Jie was even more inclined to forgive and let live.

“It’s just a laptop, not a big deal if it’s damaged.

As for the proposal, I just wrote it casually, none of it’s a big deal.”

Wu Jie said lightly.

Hearing this, Bai Fengling couldn’t help but laugh and say,

“Jie, aren’t you a bit too easygoing?

Even if your proposal isn’t important, a laptop is surely worth something, right?”

This RAZER laptop had a market price of almost forty thousand.

Plus, with the upgrades and optimizations Wu Jie had done, its value was immeasurable in monetary terms.

Wu Jie just smiled faintly.

“What use is its value now?

It’s been damaged; can it repair itself?”

“Besides, Shu Mengyan didn’t do it on purpose.

Who could have predicted the plane would suddenly hit high-altitude turbulence!”

A flicker of surprise crossed Bai Fengling’s brow.

It was as if in this moment, Wu Jie became somewhat of a stranger to her, as if she didn’t recognize him anymore.

“Strange!

Are you still the ‘King of Tricksters’ from the legends?

You aren’t blaming that flight attendant at all, this isn’t like you.”

Wu Jie sneered in response, “What do you think I should do then?

Take this opportunity to scam her out of hundreds of thousands?

If she can’t pay, should she give her life to me?

It’s just a laptop, is it worth making such a fuss over it?”

“And you know how I got the title ‘King of Tricksters’?

I can responsibly say that I have only ever scammed the bad guys.

Wang Kun, Meng Changxin, Wang Taixiong, the Xu Family of Liuli City, and some abroad—none of them were wronged!”

Wu Jie spoke these words with full confidence and a clear conscience.

Most of the time, not only did Wu Jie refrain from scamming ordinary people, but he was often helping them.

Like that time he stopped by the roadside at night waiting for a barbecue delivery, when an elderly sanitation worker damaged his Mercedes.

Wu Jie could have made him pay tens of thousands, which for the old man would have been not just a demand for money, but for his life.

Besides that, funding orphanages, helping Yuan Zihan, promoting old classmates…

Wu Jie had never scammed ordinary people.

Even when Deng Hua and Chen Yong courted disaster, Wu Jie pitied their families and did not hold them accountable.

He never kicked them while they were down, demanding debts and adding frost to the snowfall on their families.

And today.

Shu Mengyan’s mistake was truly unintentional; if Wu Jie had not asked her to pour water, perhaps none of the subsequent accidents would have occurred.

As for the RAZER laptop…

He had several more at home, some even more expensive ones; it was no loss if this one was damaged.

As for the electric station promotion proposal…

Having already written it once, the concept was clear in his mind, so discussing it verbally with Tan would pose no significant issue.

Of course.

Bai Fengling obviously hadn’t figured it out.

“Fine!

Now that you have a net worth of billions and money to burn, forgiving a little mistake by a flight attendant is no big deal!”

“But that note of hers…

haha, I don’t think it was an accident at all!

Clearly, it was prepared in advance!”

“I bet she’s slipped notes to other business class passengers before, and as for what she wants?

Do we even need to say it?”

With those words, Wu Jie’s scoff instantly vanished.

Squinting slightly, with the corners of his lips raised in a playful retort, he said:

“It’s just a note slipped to me, right?

Are you her relative, friend, or a colleague she works with day and night?”

“How do you know she’s slipped notes to others before?”

“What if she just thought I was easy to talk to and just wanted to get to know me?”

Wu Jie’s series of retorts left Bai Fengling somewhat startled.

“Alright!

Let’s not dwell on whether she gave notes to others before.

Just the fact she gave you a note, don’t you find it strange?”

“Almost everyone in the world knows that the beautiful CEO Tang Xiao is your wife, and you are a married man!

Why would she give you a note?”

“Don’t say she had something to ask for your help with.

If it were something legitimate, she could have said it openly!”

“Preparing a note in advance and sneaking it to you while serving water, the intention must not be pure!”

“To infer from the minor, from this small incident, she seems like a gold-digger, a mercenary woman who wants to climb the social ladder and become a phoenix!”

“You generously forgive her without teaching her a lesson, who knows?

She might continue to be willful.”

…

Wu Jie didn’t argue back, nor did he make a sound.

He just watched silently as Bai Fengling went on and on about her grand principles.

Inside, he couldn’t help thinking.

Is this the same Bai Fengling, the celebrity who’s been famous across the breadth of the south and north?

With her looks, appearance, and aura, she seems like a fairy descended from heaven, someone not of this world.

She should have been like a fairy, wise, understanding, gentle, and kind.

But in reality?

Wu Jie didn’t hear a hint of sympathy, instead, he felt that Wu Jie shouldn’t forgive Shu Mengyan.

Probably if she continued, she would even start to suspect Wu Jie of impure motives, thinking that accepting the note was a sign of intent to commit adultery…

The perfect goddess in the hearts of countless fans, is this how worldly and greedy she is?

In an instant, Wu Jie was truly disappointed.

“…Anyway, I’m not making a mountain out of a molehill, or suspecting you want to cheat.

I just think her behavior should be punished.

Being compassionate is good, but it shouldn’t be abused!”

Bai Fengling spoke with conviction, as if what she said was self-evident.

Wu Jie tried to keep his tone even as he asked back:

“Then what do you think should be done?”

Bai Fengling casually replied: “Make a complaint!

Let her understand that as a flight attendant, her duty on the plane is to serve the passengers, not to flirt with them.”

“As an adult, if you do something wrong, you should take the appropriate responsibility, not just burst into tears, begging for mercy, even ready to kneel.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Jie chuckled.

“What?

You think I’m wrong, Jie?”

Bai Fengling asked, tilting her head back in challenge.

Wu Jie snorted with a laugh: “Do you know what it means for her to be complained about by several business class passengers?”

“It means at least a severe warning, a deduction in wages and bonuses, and at worst, outright dismissal, losing a job that, though hard, pays quite well!”

After a brief pause, with narrowed eyes and an icy tone, Wu Jie questioned:

“You came from an ordinary family, right?

Can’t you empathize with her for a moment?”

Bai Fengling replied with a startled smile: “But I am thinking about her!

If she doesn’t learn her lesson and reflect, how will she ever grow?”

Wu Jie was taken aback.

He was genuinely baffled by Bai Fengling’s logic.

“She was already crying like that, desperate enough to kneel and beg for mercy, so you can see how important this job is to her!”

“This incident alone is enough to leave a lifelong impression, surely causing her great pain and reflection on her mistakes!”

“Do you really need her to lose her job to feel she’s learned her lesson?”

Before Bai Fengling could argue, Wu Jie pressed further:

“According to your logic, does it mean that if someone commits a crime, no matter how minor, they should be sentenced to ten or twenty years of fixed-term imprisonment?”

“Otherwise, the penalty isn’t harsh enough, and they won’t learn their lesson or grow!”

“You might as well just execute them straight away, to prevent them from posing a potential threat to society after their release!”

Bai Fengling kept shaking her head.

“No…

it’s not like that, Jie, you’re misunderstanding me!”

“Where have I misunderstood you?

I’m learning from you!

You are so noble and moral!”

Wu Jie snorted lightly with a laugh:

“You talk down about the flight attendant as if she was worthless, and what about yourself?

Do you really think you’re morally superior, flawless?”

“I…” Bai Fengling’s eyes widened in shock.

Wu Jie spoke sternly: “You what?

Not to mention distant matters, just take the investment of fifty million.

Ask yourself, did you do the right thing?”

“But Jie, we had already agreed on the investment, hadn’t we?”

Bai Fengling questioned back with an innocent face.

Wu Jie laughed dryly: “Agreed?

I did agree to invest in you, but when did I say you could go directly to Chen Yong, Deng Hua, Chu Yunxuan, without even notifying me, and invest the money in your name?”

“Ah?

Didn’t they tell you?

I thought they had reported it to you!”

Bai Fengling said with great surprise.

“Act!

Keep on acting!

I want to see how long you pretend!”

Wu Jie’s gaze turned cold, his anger fully ignited!
