79: Chapter 79: The Domineering CEO’s Trophy Husband?

79: Chapter 79: The Domineering CEO’s Trophy Husband?

The atmosphere turned icy.

Wu Jie cast a sidelong glance and saw Zhao Dong with a deeply furrowed brow, as if lost in thought.

Zhao Dong was indeed puzzled.

Tang Long, the chairman of the group, had made a special phone call last night to inquire about Wu Jie, a mere security guard.

Zhao Dong thought it was because of the car accident that Tang Long felt compassion and wanted to treat Wu Jie well.

But who would have thought…

Wu Jie actually claimed that Tang Long was his father-in-law, and Tang Xiao was his wife!

This didn’t seem like a joke at all!

After all, to verify this, all it took was a phone call, since they were in the same building with Tang Xiao.

Zhao Dong narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Wu Jie carefully.

Calm and composed, with no blush or breathlessness, he didn’t seem to be lying.

As for everyone else…

With Wu Jie daring to seek a confrontation with Tang Xiao, many hesitated.

“Why has everyone suddenly gone mute?”

“Are you afraid to make a call to verify?

Or is there no one brave enough to step forward?”

No sooner had Wu Jie spoken than Zhao Meng stepped forward.

Zhao Meng was not only the head of the special service department but also Zhao Dong’s cousin, an absolute loyalist, with a very high spirit.

So, he proudly thumped his chest twice, and shouted loudly:

“Who says there’s no one?”

“I’m the boss of the special service department, I’ll meet with you, how about that?”

“Fine by me!”

Wu Jie stepped back two steps and glanced at the stunned Zhao Dong:

“Manager Zhao, if you’re not going to make that call to verify, would you mind stepping aside, please?”

Zhao Dong was taken aback, but quickly came to his senses and moved aside.

In his mind, though, he thought, if Wu Jie truly was the chairman’s son-in-law, the president’s husband…

then this fight should not happen!

But unfortunately, Zhao Meng was already riled up, and judging by his proud countenance, he seemed eager to fight.

Over twenty special service members were also watching; they couldn’t lose face!

“Eh…

We’re all from the same department, so be mindful when you strike, don’t ruin the harmony!”

Zhao Dong chose to ‘smooth things over.’

“Your turn!”

Zhao Meng beckoned graciously with his hand, while lowering his center of gravity and squinting his eyes, sizing up Wu Jie closely.

Wu Jie simply smiled.

Zhao Meng had been a scout, adept in Grappling Combat and stealthy assassinations.

After retiring from the military and joining the group, his body had grown slightly plumper but stronger, and his resistance to blows was remarkable.

In terms of strength, he was on par with a provincial-level fighting champion.

Wu Jie, now possessing several hundred thousand energy points, casually spent a few thousand to exchange for the skills of a provincial-level fighting champion.

Fifteen minutes was more than enough.

Their exchange was indeed evenly matched.

Zhao Meng’s punches were extremely fast and powerful.

During the attack, the real and feigned moves were varied, and his footwork and punching technique were flexible and diverse.

In the special service department, he was considered invincible.

But now…

after many rounds of fighting with Wu Jie, he had not gained any advantage.

Many people were stunned.

Since when did such an impressive figure emerge from the security department?

Being able to fight the head of the special service department to a standstill?

For a moment, Wu Jie began to reap admiration.

Quite a few began to envy him, even though their increase in energy points was minimal.

Meanwhile.

After watching the fight for a while, Zhao Dong’s brows furrowed deeply.

Taking advantage of everyone’s focus on the fight, he quietly left the training ground and made his way to a secluded corner to call Tang Xiao.

“…

Ah?

Really?

Oh, in that case…

I see!

Congratulations to President Tang!

Congratulations!”

“Yes, yes, I’ll definitely respect his wishes!”

After hanging up, Zhao Dong was stunned for several seconds.

He felt a chill down his spine!

Damn it all!

Wu Jie, this lad, had really struck it big!

In terms of looks, background, wealth…

how could he compare with those rich scions?

What in the world did President Tang see in him?

They’re getting married so soon!

It’s absolutely unbelievable!

But no matter what, Wu Jie is the president’s husband, someone you can’t afford to offend!

…

Inside the training ground.

Wu Jie had just blocked Zhao Meng’s heavy punch when, suddenly, there was a joyous notification in his mind from the system.

Ding!

[System: Gained +1000 jealousy from Zhao Dong]

Jealous Brother?

It looks like Zhao Dong has already confirmed it with Tang Xiao!

But this wave of showing off really felt too unaccomplished.

Before long!

Zhao Dong returned to the training ground with his mobile phone, his face all smiles.

Seeing Wu Jie and Zhao Meng fighting inseparably, he suddenly shouted out loud.

“Enough!

Stop fighting!”

Zhao Meng’s whip kick missed its target, and he quickly stepped back, creating some distance.

Wu Jie also took the opportunity to stop, as he hadn’t come to fight in the first place.

“Not bad at all, Jie!” Zhao Dong walked forward with a beaming smile, patted Wu Jie on the shoulder, and said heartily, “With your skills, any position in the Security Department is yours for the choosing.”

On the other side, Zhao Meng was somewhat stupefied.

What does that mean?

Wasn’t it said that one could join the Special Security Branch only after winning a fight?

How did it change to being able to pick any job all of a sudden?

Could it be…

Seeing cousin Zhao Dong’s flattering smile, Zhao Meng got the hint right away.

“Er…

You’re quite skilled, managing to spar with me for over a hundred rounds is really impressive!” Zhao Meng cleared his throat and laughed heartily, “Our Special Security Branch is especially welcoming to talents like you!

Everyone agrees, right?”

As he said this, Zhao Meng started clapping his hands first.

The crowd below, although many were exchanging puzzled looks and were completely confused, how could they not clap?

The applause soon became like a tide.

Wu Jie nodded slightly and asked with a smile:

“I heard that once you join the Special Security Branch, you have to come in for training every day unless you are on a business trip?”

Zhao Meng quickly shook his head, “No, no, no, it’s not the same for you.

You can have a flexible schedule and come and go as you please.”

“And the salary and benefits?”

“Of course, you’ll get the best!

Come on, let’s go to my office, we’ll satisfy whatever you want!”

…

Zhao Meng was excessively enthusiastic, and Zhao Dong’s face was full of flattery; they were practically tripping over themselves to please Wu Jie.

Soon after the three had left, the training ground exploded with chatter.

“What does this mean?

Has the boss’s attitude really changed that fast?”

“Even addressing him as ‘you’ so politely, could it be that he’s really the chairman’s son-in-law, the president’s husband?”

“It’s possible!

Otherwise, Manager Zhao wouldn’t have changed his tune right after making a phone call!”

“It has to be!

It really is envy, jealousy, and hate!”

“Damn it!

How did that guy get so lucky to win over President Tang?”

“Climbing up the ladder with a woman, what’s so great about that?

I don’t envy it!”

“Sour grapes!

I’d be willing to be that sort of pretty boy, any day!”

…

Ding ding ding~

The system kept announcing pleasures, there was quite a lot of envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Soon, the several thousand energy points spent on exchanging skills were earned back.

And with Zhao Dong’s personal arrangement, Wu Jie was transferred into the Special Security Branch.

He was given an office, served with the finest tea and cigarettes, reviewed documents, and played on the computer.

The treatment of the president’s husband was indeed extraordinary!

It didn’t take long for Wu Jie to start feeling like a luxurious slacker.

Approaching noon.

His phone rang; it was a video call from Tang Xiao.

“They’ve given you a new job?”

Wu Jie replied with a smile, “That’s right!

Looking through documents and drinking tea, I’m quite idle—it feels like early retirement!”

“They really know how to suck up!” Tang Xiao hummed, “Since you’re so idle, you might as well head back to your hometown as soon as possible.

Let’s get your parents to agree to our marriage quickly.

I don’t want to drag this on too long and have more complications.”

“Sure!

I’ll pack up and try to head back today!”

“Be careful on the road!

Mu En is even more petty than Wang Kun.

Watch out for him scheming behind your back!”
