Chapter 1712
"Bang!"
"Thud!"
"Ah!"
Several sounds almost simultaneously erupted!
Dong Xuebing grabbed Boss Wu by the hair and slammed him face-first onto the ground. Blood immediately started flowing from his nose and mouth. Everyone in the company lobby was stunned. By the time they snapped out of it, Boss Wu was already clutching his face and screaming in pain, rolling on the ground. His battered face was now exposed to everyone, who couldn"t help but gasp in horror. Dong Xuebing had been furious, and he didn"t hold back at all. Bullying Dong Xuebing"s friend and then arrogantly defending his actions? Such a person wouldn"t last ten seconds standing before Dong Xuebing!
"Ah!"
"He"s. .h.i.tting him!"
"Boss Wu! Boss Wu!"
"You"re insane! Let go of Boss Wu!"
"Call the police! Where are the security guards? Get them here!"
Everyone started shouting, but there was only one security guard left. Seeing Dong Xuebing"s viciousness, he hesitated, realizing he wouldn"t stand a chance against him.
Yu Meixia urgently said, "Xuebing! Stop!"
Dong Xuebing didn"t listen. He crouched there, still holding Boss Wu"s hair. "Say what you just said to me again. Weren"t you acting tough?"
Boss Wu shouted angrily, "You"re dead, kid!"
Dong Xuebing sneered, "Oh, I"d like to see that!"
This time, Dong Xuebing wasn"t just fighting a security guard; he had a.s.saulted their general manager. The situation was different, and everyone reacted accordingly. Three people immediately rushed over—these were likely mid- to high-level managers who had come in with Boss Wu and were probably involved in the actor auditions. A moment later, four or five more employees charged forward. Their boss was being attacked, which was their chance to prove themselves. With so many people, they weren"t afraid of this young man causing trouble!
But Dong Xuebing didn"t even glance at them, still gripping Boss Wu"s hair. "If you"re investing in a movie, then invest in a movie! Why the h.e.l.l are you doing such shady things? Trying out kissing scenes with female employees? Are you a director? What business is it of yours? Do you think you"re somebody? Don"t say I"m hitting you! Don’t say I"m bullying you! You asked for it! You deserve it! If you don"t treat people like humans, I won"t treat you like one, either! Hitting you? It wouldn"t be too much even if I killed you!"
"Let go of Boss Wu!"
"Boss Wu! We"re coming!"
"Who the h.e.l.l do you think you are, hitting the general manager?"
Seven or eight people cursed as they rushed at Dong Xuebing!
Seeing them coming, Boss Wu, lying on the ground, sneered and kicked at Dong Xuebing. It was a vicious and treacherous kick!
But it seemed Dong Xuebing had antic.i.p.ated it. Though his eyes weren"t on the incoming kick, he lifted one foot and stomped hard on an empty spot on the ground. The next moment, Boss Wu"s foot met Dong Xuebing"s, perfectly intercepted!
"My leg!" Boss Wu screamed again in agony!
Seeing this, the approaching group became even more enraged and surrounded Dong Xuebing, ready to strike.
Did Dong Xuebing take these people seriously? Even if they weren"t a bunch of office workers but soldiers, Dong Xuebing wouldn"t have trouble handling a few of them. He had come to seek justice for Yu Meixia, not to make an unreasonable scene, but there had to be a resolution. Now that these people wanted to fight, Dong Xuebing wouldn"t hold back.
The situation was on the brink of exploding!
The fight was about to break out!
But suddenly, a powerful voice rang out from outside, "What"s going on here? Stop it! Everyone stop!" A man entered the room.
"Uh."
"Boss!"
"President Zhou!"
"Why are you here?"
The people surrounding Dong Xuebing immediately stopped, exchanged glances, and stepped back, looking respectfully at the middle-aged man who had entered. This man was in his forties or fifties, with a full head of black hair, which was rare at his age. He wore dress pants and a jacket, exuding an air of authority. Judging by the reaction of the others, it was clear that Zhou was a higher-ranking leader than Boss Wu, possibly the real boss or a major shareholder of the company. He had a very imposing presence.
Dong Xuebing glanced at him.
President Zhou"s face darkened slightly, "What"s going on?"
"Boss, it"s like this," one of the senior executives stepped forward and pointed at Dong Xuebing, "this guy came in causing trouble, smas.h.i.+ng things, and he beat up the security guard. Now, he’s even beaten Boss Wu. We"ve already called the police, but it"s been half an hour, and they still haven"t arrived, so..."
President Zhou looked at Dong Xuebing, "Who are you?"
Dong Xuebing responded indifferently, "You don"t need to know who I am. I"m here today to get an explanation from you."
President Zhou asked, "What explanation?"
Dong Xuebing pointed at Yu Meixia, "Apologize to my friend."
President Zhou looked at the person next to him coldly, "What happened to that lady?"
"Nothing much," the person replied in a low voice. "I just heard that Boss Wu was auditioning actors and mentioned testing a scene, a kissing scene, and then..."
Zhou continued, "And then this young man showed up?"
The person nodded, "It’s unreasonable. Nowadays, you get all kinds of people. It’s such a small matter, yet he won’t let it go and even resorted to violence!"
Dong Xuebing heard this and laughed, "A small matter? You guys are something else. You don"t see people as human, do you? Trying to molest a woman, and you think that’s normal? That it"s something to be expected? I"m impressed by you!"
One of the executives said, "Watch your mouth, kid!"
President Zhou also calmed down, "You say Boss Wu molested a woman. Do you have any evidence?"
"I don"t have evidence, and I don"t need it," Dong Xuebing said, sitting on a sofa and crossing his legs. "I"ll say it again: have this Wu guy apologize to my friend, and have everyone responsible for this audition come over, bow, and apologize. Then we’ll call it even."
Zhou frowned, "Trying to extort money?"
"Extort money?" Dong Xuebing chuckled.
At that moment, a staff member quickly approached, whispering to President Zhou and the nearby executives, "The Range Rover outside belongs to him."
President Zhou turned to look.
The others were also taken aback and glanced outside.
That was a three to four million RMB car! They had wondered earlier why there was a Range Rover parked near the entrance. It turned out to be this young man’s car!
Extort money?
Clearly, he wasn’t short of money!
Dong Xuebing said, "I"m not unreasonable. I reason with those who reason with me. For those who don"t, I use my methods to make them understand, like your Boss Wu." Dong Xuebing glanced at Boss Wu, who was being attended to. "I don"t need your money, and my friend wasn"t hurt, so no medical expenses either. I want you to apologize to my friend. How simple is that?"
President Zhou’s face turned cold, "You a.s.saulted our employee and general manager, and you smashed our front desk. Yet, you still expect us to apologize to your friend?"
Boss Wu had been beaten up, and Dong Xuebing felt his anger dissipate, so he didn"t continue with the violence. Instead, he confronted them aggressively, saying, "You need to understand the sequence of events. If nothing had happened and I had just beaten up your people, then I would be in the wrong, and I wouldn’t have done that. But now, it was your company’s people who scared my friend, bullied her, demanded she kiss during an audition, and when she refused, tried to force her. This is your general manager? With such poor conduct? Is this how your company operates? Aren"t you embarra.s.sed? You wanted to talk about the reason with me. Then let’s discuss it properly. I think I showed restraint. My temper isn’t as bad as it used to be. You should be thankful. If this had happened a year ago, there wouldn’t be a single intact item left in your company’s lobby."
His words were arrogant!
This was Dong Xuebing’s style!
Some people thought he was boasting.
But Yu Meixia knew better. Dong Xuebing was entirely capable of doing what he claimed. A year ago, he had indeed done such things. This wasn’t an exaggeration, just stating a fact.
However, to others, his words were infuriating. They had never encountered someone so brazenly arrogant.
President Zhou looked at him and said, "You’re accusing us of s.e.xual hara.s.sment without evidence and demanding an apology? Do you think that’s possible?"
Dong Xuebing calmly replied, "I’ve said it. I don’t need evidence!"
President Zhou felt there was no reasoning with him, "Then let’s wait for the police to handle this!"
"Fine by me. But remember what I said. If there’s no apology, I’ll keep at this. I’ve got time, and I’m not in a hurry!" Dong Xuebing was firm. He never backed down until he got a resolution or made the other party relent. He had heard about the chaotic nature of the entertainment industry but never experienced it firsthand. Today, this incident involving Yu Meixia and himself opened his eyes to the blatant misconduct. He was disgusted by how openly they tried to enforce such practices. s.e.xual advances under the guise of auditions, trying to force a kiss, and then chasing the woman through the building? It was outrageous! Dong Xuebing wasn’t going to let this slide!
Beep!
Beep!
Just then, the sound of a police car arriving could be heard.
