Chapter One Hundred and Eighty


    The man in the suit''s face darkened instantly.


    He hadn''t expected that despite such tempting conditions he had offered, this vige woman had actually resisted.


    Manager Zhou''s face became quite ugly as he said, "What do you mean? I didn''t do anything."


    Jin Lian spoke with indignation, "You say you did nothing, but your hand just touched something."


    His hand had indeed moved to the side of her chest.


    Manager Zhou''s face reddened; seeing Jin Lian making a fuss over such a trivial matter infuriated him. A mere vige woman dared to resist him like this.


    A sense of his authority being vited arose.


    He pointed at Jin Lian and spoke sternly, "You can eat recklessly, but you can''t speak recklessly. Everything requires evidence. You dare to nder your superior, do you believe I can fire you?''


    Jin Lian was momentarily stunned.


    Herplexion kept changing.


    She knew Manager Zhou was the department manager in charge.


    With significant power.


    Thepany was now reliant on these outsiders'' talents; she could very well be fired.


    Thinking this, Jin Lian''s momentum weakened, and she fell silent.


    Manager Zhou saw Jin Lian softening and sneered twice. A vige woman is just a vige woman; as soon as he got tough, he could suppress her immediately. He saw Jin Lian with her head lowered, not daring to say anything.


    A malicious fire surged inside Manager Zhou.


    If soft tactics failed, then he''d resort to hard ones.


    He sneered, "Jin Lian, you''ve seen it yourself, it''s very easy for me to fire you. You have a daughter, right? Here you can earn a sry of five thousand a month. You still want this job, don''t you? If you want it, you have toply with me. Otherwise, I''ll have you kicked out."


    With that, Manager Zhou revealed a ferocious demeanor.


    After showing his true face, he felt a perverse thrill ofpulsion.


    After all, she was just a vige woman.


    She couldn''t overrule him.


    He was an important department manager of Longyang Group.


    He wasn''t afraid of not being able to suppress a vige woman.


    "You!" Jin Lian hadn''t expected Manager Zhou, who had always seemed polite and well-mannered, to show such a face.


    The stark contrast shocked her.


    Seeing the fear on Jin Lian''s face,


    Manager Zhou couldn''t help but reach out and grab Jin Lian.


    "Stop it," Jin Lian struggled in panic, not thinking that Manager Zhou would dare toy a hand on her.


    "Don''t shout," Manager Zhou, disying ascivious stare at Jin Lian''s chest, reached out to pull on her clothes, "Don''t think calling for help will do you any good. Even if you call out, who would believe you? If you shout, you''re done for. I''ll definitely fire you. Then what will you use to support your family?"


    Bang!


    The door was forcefully pushed open.


    Manager Zhou was startled and quickly let go of Jin Lian, turning towards the door. Because of the backlighting, he couldn''t make out Long Xiaoshan''s face clearly but knew a man hade in.


    He yelled, "Who let you in here? Get out."


    Here, he was the key managementyer just next to Long Xiaoshan''s level.


    So, he indeed wasn''t afraid of many people.


    "Xiaoshan," Jin Lian recognized Long Xiaoshan faster, cried out, and quickly ran towards him.


    Long Xiaoshan saw Jin Lian''s disheveled clothes, anger rising within him. He walked up to Manager Zhou and said coldly, "Is this how you do things? Harassing a subordinate, even trying to rape."


    "Long… President Long."


    Manager Zhou, seeing Long Xiaoshan step forward, changed color as he finally recognized Long Xiaoshan.


    Despite Long Xiaoshan''s infrequent presence here, the president would certainly recognize him.


    "President Long, I was just kidding, just having augh, messing around, that''s all," Manager Zhou''s face flickered with panic but quickly calmed down as he spoke.


    After all, Long Xiaoshan rarely came here.


    He was almost invisible.


    Moreover, he was sent by Gu Jingheng; his capabilities were strong, and he believed Long Xiaoshan would make the right choice. To him, a Columbia University graduate financial elite weighed far more than a vige woman, it went without saying.


    "Are you kidding around?"


    Suddenly, Long Xiaoshan pped Manager Zhou''s face, swelling up one side.


    Manager Zhou was staggered by the p, and after a long while, he pointed at Long Xiaoshan and angrily said, "What are you doing? What right do you have to hit people?"


    As an elitist from Hong Kong Ind, he was extremely proud, and therefore, even as a subordinate facing the president, he didn''t have much fear. Besides, in his eyes, Long Xiaoshan was just a rich country bumpkin; he didn''t respect him at all.


    Long Xiaoshan said, "Am I ying around with you?"


    With that, Long Xiaoshan delivered another p, swelling the other side of Manager Zhou''s face as well.


    Manager Zhou howled, "You dare to hit me, do you know who I am? I''m going to sue you into bankruptcy."


    "You like to y around, huh?" Long Xiaoshan said as he pped him again.


    "I, I''ll kill you!"


    Smack!


    "Long Xiaoshan, I won''t let you get away with this!"


    Smack!


    ...


    "Stop hitting me!"


    Smack!


    Manager Zhou was pped by Long Xiaoshan more than a dozen times, all the way from the office to the outside.


    Manager Zhou''s screams caught the attention of the entire office building. Many people rushed out and were stunned by the scene.


    "It''s Manager Zhou."


    "Who''s hitting him?"


    "Who else? That''s President Long, don''t you recognize him?" Find more chapters on empire


    The onlookers were all shocked and began to discuss.


    "Why is President Long hitting Manager Zhou?"


    "Are there no human rights anymore? How can you just hit someone like that?"


    "This is barbaric, won''t someone stop it?"


    Among thepany''s staff who followed Manager Zhou, there were quite a few sent by Gu Jingheng. In their eyes, President Long was just a figurehead, with no real presence, whereas Manager Zhou was their former colleague and supervisor.


    They immediately felt aggrieved on behalf of Manager Zhou.


    "Do you still want to y around?" Long Xiaoshan pped him again.


    Finally, Manager Zhou couldn''t take it anymore. He cried miserably, "I was wrong, I won''t dare again, I won''t dare!"


    Long Xiaoshan stopped.


    He nced around at the indignant crowd, pulled Manager Zhou up from the ground, and, clutching his neck, brought him in front of Jin Lian, "Apologize to her yourself, and make it sincere, quick!"


    Under Long Xiaoshan''s intimidation, Manager Zhou cried out, "Jin Lian, I shouldn''t have harassed you, I apologize, I''m sorry."


    At this moment, everyone realized that Manager Zhou was being beaten by Long Xiaoshan because he had harassed Jin Lian.


    The gazes of all present becameplicated.


    Still, someone stood up with righteous indignation and said, "President Long, even if Manager Zhou is in the wrong, you can''t take thew into your own hands. That''s illegal."


    Long Xiaoshan said, "Then sue me!"


    That person was instantly left red-faced and speechless.


    Long Xiaoshan spoke indifferently, "Now, I announce that Zhou Dahong is officially dismissed. From this moment on, you are no longer a part of Longyang Company."


    A wave of astonishment spread around.


    It was unexpected that not only did Long Xiaoshan beat someone, but he also decided to fire Manager Zhou outright. Didn''t he realize how important Manager Zhou''s position was? Firing a high-level executive on a whim, wasn''t he afraid it would disrupt thepany''s operations?
