Silence.
In the venue with over three hundred people, an deathly silence fell as Dai Paipai spoke those words.
Except for one person in the southwest corner of the restaurant, everyone, including Old Su and Old Ma, was stunned on the spot.
Let alone Zhao Lianjin.
He suspected his ears had been flushed down the toilet by Zhao Tong along with the toilet paper that morning.
Even.
Du Tianci, whom Zhao Lianjin had generously invited and was ready to "have Dai Paipai step on high heels and support the table shortly," his eyebrows twitched rapidly, and his gaze quickly shifted from the pink-gleaming legs under the table to Dai Paipai's face.
The moment he saw Dai Paipai's face, he understood.
"This woman, upon learning that Zhao Lianjin was going to offer her to me, realized it would be better to seize this opportunity and cling to my leg."
"To use my power to kick Zhao Lianjin away."
"After all, she knew very well that all men in this matter are selfish."
"How could they allow another man to share a premium young wife like her?"
"Heh heh."
"This woman is quite clever."
"Alright."
"Then it depends on your performance later."
"If you can make me experience profound, unprecedented pleasure, then what does it matter if I help you kick Zhao Lianjin away?"
"Someone like Zhao Lianjin, a little idiot, I can crush him with ease."
Du Dashao, with his rich inner thoughts, pondered all this in a matter of seconds.
He even inexplicably thought of Mo Hongti, who loved wearing red.
His heart stirred.
"What if Dai Paipai and Mo Hongti both support the table for me, lifting me up?"
An unknown small flame immediately ignited from the bottom of Du Dashao's heart.
Zhao Lianjin snapped back to his senses!
With a look of disbelief, he questioned Dai Paipai in a low voice, "What did you just say?"
"I said,"
Dai Paipai looked at Zhao Lianjin, sneering slightly, "The 3% of shares that Wang Mingshuai originally gifted to you for free! As his wife, and as the founder of Paipai Fashion, I have the right and qualification to take back all those shares he gave you!"
"You—"
Zhao Lianjin shot up, roaring, "Are you fucking crazy?"
Crazy.
This woman was definitely crazy!
Otherwise, how dare she defy Zhao Lianjin's will?
Bao Shan, Zhao Tong, and the others also stared at Dai Paipai foolishly, thinking the same thing in their hearts.
"I am clearer than ever now."
Dai Paipai sneered, "Zhao Lianjin, you want to seize the fruits of my and Mingshuai's labor? That's a dream!"
After speaking, she kicked her chair away with a bang.
Supporting the table with both hands, she looked down at the audience.
She said sternly, "From this moment on, anyone who dares to gossip about me and Zhao Lianjin will immediately pack up and get out! You're eating my food, yet you disregard me, the boss. Who gave you the guts? Let me tell you the truth. Even if I shut down Paipai Fashion and do nothing afterward, I can still live a life of luxury every day. As for you people, you'll have to find new jobs."
She was right.
At worst, she could close the company. After all, Wang Mingshuai had earned some money over the years.
Enough for her to live comfortably without working.
"Meeting adjourned."
Dai Paipai didn't give anyone a chance to react. She slammed the table heavily with her hand, then turned and quickly descended from the stage.
Under the astonished gazes of hundreds of people—
The boss of Paipai, in her pink-gleaming, subtly swaying-hipped, high-heeled sandals, strode out with a 'click-clack' and left.
The Zhao family army, who had been having sweet dreams last night, were now all dumbfounded on the spot.
Even Du Tianci, who had thought Dai Paipai would cling to his powerful leg, finally realized she didn't care about him at all.
"Holy crap, who gave her the guts to go head-to-head with Zhao Lianjin, who completely controls her?"
Du Tianci muttered to himself, his legs crossed with interest.
He wasn't angry that Dai Paipai had ignored him.
After all, for someone like Du Dashao, who wasn't lacking in women, too many women coming on to him meant no sense of conquest.
It was far more rewarding to tame a woman who dared to ignore him.
Imagining Dai Paipai fiercely resisting, and then uncontrollably singing praises of his bravery, the small flame in Du Tianci's heart reignited.
"Third Uncle, what's going on?"
Zhao Shui, regaining his senses, regardless of the occasion, yelled, "How dare Dai Paipai defy your wishes?"
"Damn it, how the hell would I know?"
Zhao Lianjin cursed irritably, then saw someone stand up.
It was Old Su.
Old Su smiled, his hands behind his back, "Old Ma, Ms. Dai has adjourned the meeting. What are we still doing here? Let's hurry back to the sales department and discuss how to become the top seller. A month will pass quickly."
You scoundrel!
Daring to stir up trouble when Paipai was inexplicably acting tough.
You just wait—
Zhao Lianjin's eyes darkened, and he glared fiercely at Old Su.
Old Su, however, chatted and laughed with Old Ma as if no one else was there, and leisurely walked out.
Not all employees were like Bao Shan and Zhao Shui.
They also disliked Zhao Lianjin's attempt to seize Wang Mingshuai's property and wife.
They just couldn't speak up due to their limited abilities.
Now that General Manager Dai had inexplicably asserted herself—
And with Old Su and Old Ma leading the way out, they also quickly left the restaurant, chattering amongst themselves.
Spectating.
Ever since Dai Paipai took charge of Paipai Fashion, hundreds of employees had been indulging in gossip almost every day.
They were enjoying it immensely.
Especially today's gossip, which was exceptionally big, fragrant, and sweet!
A few minutes later.
In the restaurant that originally had over three hundred people, only fifty to sixty remained.
These were Zhao Lianjin's people, almost encompassing the entire middle and senior management of Paipai Fashion.
"With these people, and the strong support of Du Dashao, what can you, a bitch with no backing, do to defy me?"
Zhao Lianjin sneered inwardly, and his wavering heart quickly calmed down.
He quickly walked off the podium and approached Du Tianci.
Bowing subserviently with a smile, "Du Dashao, shall we go to my office for a drink of water?"
In Zhao Lianjin's office.
After personally pouring water and offering a cigarette to Du Tianci, Zhao Lianjin chuckled wryly, "Du Dashao, to be honest, when that bitch got tough, I thought she was going to cling to your leg and use you to deal with me. But after thinking about it, it's not the case at all."
He was trying to provoke Dai Paipai.
Hoping to ignite Du Tianci's "love of beauty" and have him brutally trample on that damned woman.
Zhao Lianjin succeeded.
"Heh heh. Actually, I thought the same thing at first. I even decided that if she performed well, I would fulfill her wish."
Du Tianci did not hide his true thoughts.
Zhao Lianjin felt a bit awkward.
After all, no one liked being underestimated.
"Now, I'm even more interested in that woman."
Du Tianci took a sip of water and lazily stood up, "Zhao Lianjin, lead the way. I'll go meet that woman myself. If necessary, help me pin her down on the table. My hand is injured, after all, and I can't exert much force."
Alright!
Zhao Lianjin agreed, a ferocious glint in his eyes, "Du Dashao, actually I also have handcuffs, candles, and a whip here. I think you might find them useful. And I can guarantee you. Even if she cries her lungs out, no one will disturb your good time."
"Take them!"
Du Tianci's spirits lifted.
Zhao Lianjin, carrying the handcuffs and other items, quickly led Du Tianci to the door of the general manager's office in the east.
With a kick—
With a bang, Zhao Lianjin kicked open the office door.
He looked at Dai Paipai, who was sitting on the sofa, her legs crossed, her high heels lightly tapping, and sneered, "Paipai, why don't you stand up quickly and welcome Du Dashao, who's here to warm you up?"
