Chapter 554: Caught Stealing Food Red-Handed
The big boss was stunned when he received the call. He hadn’t received that call in a long time.
However, no matter how much time pa.s.sed, he could not forget the meaning behind that number.
Therefore, he picked it up immediately.
The person on the other end of the phone was not the person he had been expecting, but a female voice with a hint of heroic spirit.
“Uncle Guo, I’m Yanyan.”
Big Boss Guo had always preferred being addressed seriously when he was outside, but he merely smiled in reply to Jiang Yan. “Yanyan, to what do I owe this call? Is your grandpa healthy?”
Jiang Yan said, “Uncle Guo, don’t worry. My grandpa is in good health. He’s even been talking about you these days.”
Hearing Jiang Yan’s words, Mr. Guo’s smile widened. “That’s good, that’s good. As long as he’s healthy. I’ll visit your grandfather in a few days. Coincidentally, I have some work that I can’t figure out which I want to ask him for advice.”
Jiang Yan smiled and said, “Sure, Uncle Guo. I’ll tell grandpa in advance.”
After the two of them were done, Jiang Yan said, “Oh right, Uncle, I have something to ask you. I have a friend called Su Yang. His company mainly deals with artificial intelligence. There was a meeting in the city a while ago that ended with them giving him some help.”
When Big Boss Guo heard that, he nodded. “Oh, right. It was your Uncle Ying who led the meeting. We were all present. What’s wrong?”
When Jiang Yan heard this, she felt much more at ease. She said, “The thing is, yesterday, someone filed a report that he received this support because he bribed a related person in Baoshan District.”
This time, before Jiang Yan could finish, Mr. Guo shouted angrily, “Nonsense! This support was specially organized by the city. We especially had a meeting to discuss and decide this, so how could someone from a district have such authority?”
Big Boss Guo knew what Jiang Yan meant, so he said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, Yanyan, I’ll help you to find out. I’ll talk to Old Ying and see if we can come up with an investigation statement. Don’t worry, your friend won’t be framed.”
Jiang Yan hurriedly said, “Thank you, Uncle Guo.”
After hanging up, the smile on Big Boss Guo’s face disappeared. He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
“Du… Du… Du… Du…”
The call was picked up in a few seconds. Ying Tianhou’s voice came from the other end. “Old Guo, what’s wrong? Are you looking for me?”
Big Boss Guo said, “Old Ying, what exactly is happening with that Su Yang?”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before Ying Tianhou’s voice came from the other end. “That girl from the Fengs called me and said that she would visit me during the new year after asking about me for a while.”
Big Boss Guo pondered for a while and said softly, “The Jiangs have also called me…”
The two ends of the phone fell silent…
…
In the virtual s.p.a.ce, Su Yang replied to a few people who were concerned about him before he exited.
After he opened the door, Su Yang left the bedroom and went downstairs to prepare breakfast for himself and Tang Xiaomi.
However, before he even reached the stairs, he smelled the aroma of food.
‘Eh?
‘Who cooked?’
Su Yang looked around and saw Tang Jing busy in the kitchen with an ap.r.o.n around her waist. There was a sumptuous lunch on the dining table.
Su Yang took a closer look. ‘Braised pork, fish-flavored shredded pork, fish-flavored eggplant, meatball soup…
‘Hmm… No matter how you look at it, that doesn’t look like breakfast, it’s too greasy.
‘Also, why isn’t Sister Tang at work?’
Su Yang walked to the dining table and stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth. ‘Hmm, it’s fatty but not greasy. In fact, it’s sweet and delicious.’
Just as he finished commenting, he heard someone next to him say, “Caught you stealing food red-handed, haven’t I?”
Su Yang turned around and saw Tang Xiaomi holding onto the pitiful Lesser Quickgold Monster as she looked at him with a smug on her face.
Su Yang walked over and ruffled her hair. She was so angry that she was about to cry. “Your hands are all covered in oil. I just washed my hair. Uwu.”
After bullying Tang Xiaomi, Su Yang went to the kitchen happily to look for Tang Jing.
Tang Jing had already heard their argument. She looked at Tang Xiaomi lovingly and then looked at Su Yang who was walking into the kitchen. She wiped her hands on her ap.r.o.n and said gently, “I’m guessing you just woke up. Hurry up and wash your hands, we’ll be eating soon.”
Su Yang asked, “Sister Tang, aren’t you going to work today?”
Tang Jing smiled beautifully. “I haven’t been working recently, I’ve been staying at home instead.”
Su Yang asked, “Why?”
Tang Jing did not reply. She adjusted Su Yang’s collar and said, “You’ve always been taking care of us, so I wanted to take care of you for a change.”
Su Yang looked at Tang Jing and understood…
‘Another person who saw the news.
‘Has the matter developed to such a huge scale?
‘Or has Big Data been recommending the news to people close to me?
‘Why do I feel like everyone around me knows?
After the meal, Su Yang packed up and went to the office.
There were a few people in the company who were restless. It was obvious that they knew that Su Yang had been reported. Hence, Su Yang tried to use [The Devil’s Angel Halo] and [Intermediate Verbal Cannon] to appease them.
In the end, perhaps because the incident that time was a little too big, the effect was not as good.
This also indirectly showed that the [Verbal Cannon] was not invincible and could be affected by various aspects.
Su Yang tried twice and wasted dozens of coins before giving up on his futile effort. Instead, he had gotten over it and took the opportunity to test the team’s cohesiveness.
As for the [Advanced Verbal Cannon], Su Yang had given it a try as well. However, the requirement was too disgusting, so Su Yang gave up.
When he returned to the film company, he continued to supervise the progress of “Wolf Warriors”. ‘I’m a little surprised that the newly recruited team for my film company isn’t too affected. I suspect that it’s because of the additional effects of [Advanced Film and Television Post-Production Ability]… Yeap, it might also be because of my personal charm.’
Hence, a day pa.s.sed just like that. Su Yang did not do anything other than telling Little Bun to suppress the news.
He knew that the more he did, the more mistakes he would make, so the best solution was to wait patiently for Jiang Yan’s result.
The next day, Su Yang went to work as usual. The atmosphere in the office was even more tense, as if a storm was brewing.
Even though there had been no news from the city, everyone knew that it was not over. It meant that the situation was more severe than they thought.
Therefore, having no results would be the worst case scenario at that moment.
At noon, things started to get worse. Two middle management staff handed in their resignation letters to Su Yang, saying that they had a better career opportunity and wanted to try their luck at it.
The Jiadian E-Commerce Company was the company that Su Yang had the most reserves of talents. Hence, after Su Yang persuaded them to stay a few times, he agreed to their resignation.
On the other hand, Su Yang was humane enough to not demand that they continue to work for another month. He only gave them three days to hand over their work before they could leave their jobs.
In the afternoon, Su Yang received a call from Producer Zhao, saying that he was planning to leave the company. Producer Zhao was the only person left behind after Su Yang took over the film company. At that time, he stayed behind for the “Fighting The Buddha” project. He only signed a contract for one movie iinstead of a labor contract. Hence, he was considered an outsider and did not even need to apply for a resignation.
Su Yang felt that it was a pity for Producer Zhao to leave, but he had no choice but to agree.
Su Yang felt that something was amiss when a few of his company’s core members left their posts. He called a few executives he was familiar with to sound them out and asked if anyone wanted to poach them.
Even though some of them were telling the truth and some of them were lying, Su Yang could still tell the truth with [s.p.a.ce Traversing Eyes].
The result was scary, most of them were poached. At least 70% of the company’s executives were included.
This was obviously the Fengs’s doing. Otherwise, there was no way to explain such a coincidence.
On the third day, the situation worsened. More and more senior management wanted to leave, even some of the lower-ranking employees wanted to leave.
The people at Jiadian E-Commerce Company were panicking and even the people at Jiadian Pictures were starting to get restless.
Su Yang had no choice but to appease the special effects staff who had just arrived at the company while he returned to the Jiadian E-Commerce Company which was next door.
With Su Yang personally overseeing the company and giving a good speech to the company, the people in the company felt more at ease.
As the situation stabilized, Su Yang finally felt more at ease.
After lunch, he returned to his office and sat down.
‘I’m not sure if I’m doing the right thing. Am I being too pa.s.sive by just waiting for Jiang Yan to deal with this matter?
‘However, if I don’t trust Jiang Yan, is there some other better method to deal with this?
‘Should I kill everyone in the Fengs?
‘Putting aside the fact about where I could obtain their address, I don’t have their phone numbers, I don’t know how they look, I can’t even use my [Booth Of Exchanging Secrets]. I can’t even find out where they live or who they are.
‘a.s.sume that I really do kill them all.
‘They are a huge influence in the country, so how big of a shock would that cause, and how big of a rebound would the country have?
‘Would I have to throw away everything I’ve acc.u.mulated within the country? Would I have to bring my family with me and escape? Would I have to cut all ties with my friends?
‘Even though I have special abilities that would allow me to do the deed without leaving any traces, I’m not a professional after all. Didn’t Mr. Jia and the Fengs find out that I had killed the security captain of Longteng Jiayuan and Zhao Xiao?
‘So, what exactly am I supposed to do…’
Just when Su Yang was having a headache, “Knock, Knock, Knock”… Someone was knocking on his office door.
Su Yang felt his head hurting even more. ‘That’s definitely someone who wants to resign again.
‘However, as the boss, I definitely can’t lock my men outside.’ Hence, Su Yang shouted, “Please come in.”
A moment later, someone that Su Yang did not expect entered the office.
He walked into the office with a resignation letter in his hand. Lowering his head, he said to Su Yang, “Mr. Su… I would like to resign.”
The moment he said that, Su Yang’s face lost all its expression. Even the office that was only a door away from the office fell silent…
