Chapter 9: Frustration

"Li Wei, you bastard!"

Lin Tianjiao violently pushed Li Wei away, her right hand quickly rising to slap his face, but Li Wei caught her wrist swiftly, looking at her coldly, "I don't fancy this aggressive side of you, last night's version of you was much more enchanting."

After forcefully freeing her hand from Li Wei's grip, Lin Tianjiao turned toward Zhou Tao with a look of aggrievement and cooed, "Brother Tao, look at him bullying me again, you must stand up for me."

Zhou Tao was also furious at this moment. If this were the past, Li Wei wouldn't have dared to be so presumptuous before him with Lin Tianjiao, even in the hallway he would have walked past with his head down, reverently respectful like a grandson.

But now, not only did Li Wei dare to call him Elder Zhou, he even had the audacity to pat Lin Tianjiao's butt in front of him, which was utterly dismissive of his presence.

However, Zhou Tao was very clear in his mind that it wouldn't work to confront Li Wei head-on.

If Li Wei was bold enough to confront them this way, it meant he had prepared for the worst.

Moreover, Li Wei was just an ordinary salesman at Prosperous Technology, but it was different for him and Lin Tianjiao, one being the head of the marketing department, another a sales supervisor. If they really fell out with Li Wei, they would be the ones at a great loss.

"Enough, stop making a fuss, I need to discuss some serious matters with Li Wei."

Seeing that Zhou Tao didn't take her side, Lin Tianjiao could only stamp her foot in frustration and stand aside.

But before Zhou Tao could even speak, Li Wei had already walked up to him, gestured with his hand to rise from the chair.

"I'm a bit tired and would like to sit in your fancy swivel chair to rest, please, Director Zhou, take a seat across from me."

"You..." Zhou Tao glared at Li Wei, pointing at him with a look of dissatisfaction.

But in the end, he still stood up and gave his seat to Li Wei, as they couldn't afford to confront him directly at this time and needed to stabilize the situation first.

After Zhou Tao stood up, Li Wei took his place on the swivel chair, hands gently patting the armrests, with a smug look on his face, "Comfortable! Elder Zhou, you really know how to enjoy life! Just feel this material, the leather touch is just marvelous."

He then turned towards Lin Tianjiao who was standing nearby, smiling and saying, "Director Lin, my shoulders have suddenly become a bit sore. Could you trouble yourself to massage them for me?"

"What do you think you are, you don't deserve to have me massage your shoulders," Lin Tianjiao sneered at him disdainfully.

"Now that you mention it, my hand seems to be shaking quite badly too."

While saying this, Li Wei took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket, his hand holding the phone still shaking.

"What do you all think, with my hand like this, might I accidentally touch something on my phone?"

Zhou Tao was so infuriated by Li Wei that he clenched his teeth, yet he was helpless to act.

Even if he and Lin Tianjiao tried to snatch it away, they were no match for Li Wei.

Li Wei was in his prime, tall and sturdy, not even the security guards at Prosperous Technology could stand against him.

Zhou Tao looked up at Lin Tianjiao and gave her a knowing glance, then twisted his head, indicating she should do as Li Wei asked.

Lin Tianjiao stamped her feet in anger, her face full of reluctance, but in the end, she went to Li Wei's back, placing her hands on his shoulders, and began to massage them.

"Director Lin, did you skip lunch or something? You seem so listless. I remember you always telling us during meetings: our attitude toward work must be correct, we must handle everything with care. But now, your attitude doesn't seem right. You say that last night, Elder Zhou exerted such strength, and you were able to withstand it while still looking unsatisfied. That doesn't seem like your arms are lacking any strength! Right, Elder Zhou?"
