The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 66 Hothead
Most of the employees in the department had been replaced, and now they all looked like new faces.
This was the sorrow of the entire industry.
Once you reach a certain age, you will be replaced by younger blood and cheaper labor.
Without much emotion, Yang Zhen walked towards the manager's office.
Without knocking, Yang Zhen pushed the door open and entered.
In the office, a man in a crisp suit was leaning back in his chair, talking on the phone.
Hearing the footsteps, he immediately looked displeased.
Who was so bold as to barge into his office without knocking?
He was about to open his mouth to scold when he saw that the person was Yang Zhen, and he was slightly taken aback.
"Why is it you?"
Yang Zhen looked around the office and sat down opposite the department manager in a carefree manner.
"Long time no see, Li Zhengye!"
Li Zhengye slicked back his shiny hair and spoke in a strange tone.
"Senior brother, what wind has blown you here today?"
It turned out that this department manager was Yang Zhen's junior from university, and the two had once had a good relationship.
With Li Zhengye's business abilities, he was not qualified to enter this company back then.
It was Yang Zhen who put in a good word for him, and the company hired him.
After joining the company, he relied on his ability to flatter and was promoted all the way, eventually becoming Yang Zhen's leader.
Later, it was he who made the decision to 'graduate' Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen looked down on this kind of ungrateful villain from the bottom of his heart.
He joked, "The northwest wind, senior brother is so poor that he can't afford to eat."
Li Zhengye smiled insincerely.
"Yang Zhen, what do you mean by that? If you can't afford to eat, why are you looking for me? Do you think my place is a charity?"
Yang Zhen stopped smiling.
"Li Zhengye, stop pretending to be confused. The company owes me 100,000 yuan in compensation, which has not been received yet. Who else should I look for if not you?"
Li Zhengye snorted coldly.
"Yang Zhen, are you crazy for money?"
"The company gave you the opportunity to learn and grow, and you don't even know how to be grateful. You've already left, and you still want the company to give you compensation? Do you have any conscience?"
Yang Zhen sneered.
"Are you talking to me about conscience? Back then, when your family was in financial difficulty and you didn't even have money for food after paying your tuition, who lent you their meal card?"
"You worked outside to earn money, which delayed your studies. Who helped you with attendance and answering questions time and time again?"
"And that time, when you had acute appendicitis in the middle of the night, who paid the deposit for you and took care of you in the hospital for half a month?"
"And who brought you into this company? What did you do to him in the end?"
Yang Zhen paused for a moment and said angrily,
"You fired him!"
"You're talking to me about conscience? Do you deserve it?"
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, even Li Zhengye, as despicable as he was, felt a little guilty, and his face turned red and white.
But after all, he was a shameless person, and after only two seconds of guilt, he changed his face.
He took out two hundred yuan and threw it in front of Yang Zhen.
"That's all ancient history, why are you still bringing it up? With your narrow-mindedness, don't even think about being successful in this life!"
"That's why you're a useless piece of trash. I brought you into the company, but you didn't do as well as me. How can you even have the face to talk about it?"
"Take this two hundred yuan and get out of here. Don't bother me again!"
A grim smile appeared on Yang Zhen's face: "Li Zhengye, do you really think you're doing better than me?"
Li Zhengye spread his hands.
"Isn't that obvious?"
"I'm now a department manager with an annual salary of over a million, and my future is bright!"
"Looking at you, you're old and incompetent, and you're running into walls everywhere looking for a job. Now you can't even afford to eat!"
"You're just a beggar, why should I be compared to you?"
The more Li Zhengye jumped, the brighter the light in Yang Zhen's eyes became.
Because he knew very well that he had at least a hundred ways to make the other party wish they were dead.
And the other party was still unknowingly provoking his anger.
"Li Zhengye, I'll give you one last chance. Within ten minutes, put 100,000 yuan in front of me, or you'll bear the consequences!"
Yang Zhen's voice was low, and his aura suddenly exploded.
The invisible pressure made the temperature in the office drop a few degrees.
The hairs on Li Zhengye's body stood up instantly.
However, he didn't associate it with Yang Zhen at all, but instead blamed the air conditioner for being too low today.
He pointed at Yang Zhen's nose and said angrily, "Are you trying to mess with me? That's all you trash are good for."
"Unfortunately, no matter how much you try, it's useless. With just one word from me, the security guards will throw you out!"
"It's right for the company to fire you, you're a useless piece of trash with no skills and extremely low quality!"
As soon as Li Zhengye finished speaking, a clear voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"I think you're the one the company should fire!"
"Who is so bold, damn it... Director Su?"
Li Zhengye was about to open his mouth to curse when he saw a charming young woman walking in from outside the door.
He was so frightened that he immediately changed his words, his face changed instantly, and he bowed and nodded obsequiously.
"Di-Director Su, why are you here?"
At this time, Yang Zhen was also stunned, looking at the charming young woman with a puzzled look: "Why is it you?"
The young woman smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's me."
It turned out that this charming young woman was the mother of the little boy Yang Zhen had just saved.
And she was also the new beautiful president of Tianyuan Group, Su Anran.
Li Zhengye was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
How could this piece of trash, Yang Zhen, know Su Anran?
Director Su had only taken office less than three months ago, and Yang Zhen had been fired for more than half a year!
After greeting Yang Zhen, Su Anran suddenly widened her almond-shaped eyes and glared at Li Zhengye.
"Manager Li, what's going on?"
Li Zhengye felt uneasy, but still quibbled.
"Director Su, this kid is just a troublemaker. You don't need to worry about it. Let me handle it."
Su Anran heard this and shouted angrily.
"Nonsense! Would my benefactor, Su Anran's, be a troublemaker?"
Although she was just a woman, she was worthy of being a president, and her aura was extremely strong.
The originally arrogant Li Zhengye instantly shrunk in front of her.
He was dumbfounded, with an incredible look on his face.
How did this piece of trash, Yang Zhen, become Su Anran's benefactor?
But he was already frightened by Su Anran's roar, and he was so timid that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"N-no, no, Director Su, you, you listen to my explanation..."
Su Anran snorted coldly.
"I don't want to listen to your explanation. Benefactor, you tell me, what's the situation? Feel free to report it to me."
Yang Zhen didn't expect things to be so coincidental.
Since this Director Su had so much power, it saved him from having to deal with Li Zhengye himself.
He told the whole story from beginning to end.
Su Anran frowned: "That's not right, the company has clearly distributed the employee compensation to each department. How could it not have been given to you?"
Then she thought of something, and her sharp eyes cut towards Li Zhengye like knives.
