Chapter 15

'A reason?' Manager Wu thought for a moment and realized he wanted an explanation. He quickly tried to save himself and pointed to a random person and started to scold the person.

He was just blindly blaming a most likely innocent employee. "President, I'm sorry you had to see this. Who knows what these incompetent people were doing. They deserved to be fired. We need better employees here."

The employees were anxiously looking at him. They didn't want to be fired. This job paid more than normal jobs because of the company's reputation and it was harder to get in as well. You could see it as if they get fired, it would be harder to get any job.

You ask why. Well because the fact that one is getting fired from one of the best companies in the country means your efficiency is lacking. You could say that others would want to get you because you have worked in a better company but who would want to directly offend such a powerful family. It's not that you are so important but more of what could I possibly so with you? You have been fired.

You are on your own.

The person, in particular, was a woman and she was sweating bullets. She turned towards the President and as nervous as ever. She had an idea of why he would want to blame her.

Many know Manager Wu is not from an ordinary family.

The Wu family may not be one of the top families, but he also could not be offended. His family had little affiliation with Zhang Corp. so he was hired, but he had a problem.

He would harass female workers. The female worker was one of the many females that were harassed and she had rejected him when he had come on to her. She was angry and scared, so she was very cautious around hi. while still wondering why no one was doing anything.

Her and more ladies' says were always being disturbed by him. She had nothing to say because she could not afford to offend him. All thoughts of using were impossible.

She had thought the President would listen to him but she notices he was not even talking. She dared look in his direction and was surprised to see his disinterested face towards the whole situation.

Manager Wu also noticed the president's lack of speech but didn't think too much on it concluding that he was just deep in thought. He continued.

"Also, we could just fire..." he was pointing at other women who had rejected him and occasionally some men. All the while, Zhang Wei just looked at him never saying a word. 'It seems this man thinks he's irreplaceable.'

When he was done, he turned to Zhang Wei. "So, what do you say President?"

After Manager Wu was done, he watched as Zhang Wei stretched his hand towards Secretary Bai, asking him to give what he (Bai) was holding.

Then, Manager Wu had a bad feeling. 'What the fuck are those?' his attention was brought back by Zhang Wei's voice.

"What a very big speech, Manager Wu." He opened the document and read the information. He inwardly sneered when he saw the results. It confirmed his suspicions. He then read through the rest of the of it and again turned to Manager Wu.

" Manager Wu, who is the boss here?" Manager Wu looked confusedly at him "Of course you, President." At this, Zhang Wei's calm face scared the shit out of him and looked down a little. 'This little brat. Who does he think he is huh? You just wait.'

Oh, poor Manger Wu didn't know it was the end of him right there. He then calmed himself down and waited for the verdict. Zhang Wei caught all the changes on his face. His face did not change but disdain passed swiftly through his eyes. No one noticed.

Then Zhang Wei cleared his throat finally having enough of his barbaric appearance. "It seems Manager Wu's boldness reaches the skies. He is now the boss of this place. To dare conspire against the organization." At this, Manager Wu snapped his head back up.

His face changed but quickly managed to calm down. 'Does he know? I made sure not to leave traces.' "President, what do you mean?" Zhang Wei stood up and walked to the window.

"It seems Manager Wu is thinking of how I know it's you." He faced the view of slight traffic happening. "You seem to have forgotten that when encrypting you have to make it that one shouldn't be able to understand. Changing it to a different language. Yet, you decide to use the underground language. You must think the Zhangs are a joke to you."

Manager Wu froze. His body shuddered. 'He shouldn't be able to recognize that language.' "President I don't understand what you mean. I was framed."

Zhang Wei turns back and sees that people are still in the room. He.signals Secretary Bai who turns to the confused audience. "You may all return to your posts."

Everyone quickly rushed out as if afraid that he was going to change his mind. As soon as everyone left, Zhang Wei turned to the nervous-looking man and sneered. "Who has the guts to frame you here? You are the highest-ranked family in the departments. No one who wants their life would do such."

Do you think I wouldn't know what happens in the underground? The Wu's have affiliates underground despite the fact that you run legitimate businesses. You must have thought that you could get away with such since the Zhangs aren't involved with the underground since a decade ago Wu Deng."

Wu Deng is the second son of the Wu family. His family isn't the richest but they have quite a strong backing. The Zhangs had left the underground since a decade ago and many things changed including the secret language. So Wu Deng is confused about how Zhang Wei knows this.

"P-President, I was framed I-I don't know what you are saying I.." He continued to stutter and Zhang Wei finally looked deep into his eyes. His dark eyes like an eagle.

"Why do you want to deny an official language. What are you?" He went back to his seat. Wu Deng crumpled on the floor and proceeded to start begging.

"President please listen to me. I was threatened. They would have killed me if I had resisted."

Zhang Wei had long stopped listening and signalled his men to enter. They came in and carried him away. His screams echoing in the hall. He called a number and the calm was picked up after two rings.

"Speak." The person on the other line stated. Zhang Wei got straight to the point. "Lan Zhi I have another one for you."

Lan Zhi rose a brow and smiled. "President Wei it seems you need to show yourself soon, no? their numbers are now increasing. It's the fourth one this month."

Zhang Wei said nothing and Lan Zhi sighed. "Fine, but you need to do something. We'll talk soon." Zhang Wei hummed and ended the call.

He then saw an unfamiliar number in his contact and frowned. Then, he remembered the number his sister used to call him and interest flashed in his eyes. It's her.
