Chapter 154 Flattery (1/2)

”P-president. I think it's improper!” Jiang Yuecheng's face changed suddenly. His lips trembled, looking anxious but lacking words.

”Tell me the reason, please! I never make any mistakes in my work and have been working hard. I've done lots of hard work even if I haven't performed any meritorious deeds. You can't treat me like this!”

Jiang Yuecheng's heart kept sinking when he looked at Chu Tiankuo's cold face. He suspected that Chu Tiankuo was likely to be venting his anger for Tang Xia.

He felt so resentful but dared not express himself. All he did was be obedient and pretend to be a poor, nice guy.

”Our company does not need an employee who has personal problems. I won't let you resign because I don't even want to pay your salary for one more month.”

Chu Tiankuo raised his nose with hatred. He couldn't bear the filthy atmosphere anymore.

How Chu Tiankuo wished that he still lived in ancient times when he thought of how this beast had treated Tang Xia. If he were back in those times, he would dismember this beast in the cruelest way.

”No! You can't treat me this way! President, I have an elderly mother to take care of and so many people to feed in my family! Please forgive me. I'm begging you to forgive me.” Jiang Yuecheng, a man, was now crying and following Chu Tiankuo hurriedly.

”Get lost!” Chu Tiankuo turned back all of a sudden, looking at him with a stern face. His sheer force of character engulfed Jiang Yuecheng like Mount Tai, which could blot out the sky and cover up the earth.

He proved himself to have been an emperor and a governor for many years. Something in him could still be intimidating even though things had gone through great upheavals with the passage of time.

Jiang Yuecheng's face turned pale out of fear. He stepped backward and nearly kneeled down feebly.

”How could it be possible? Why would I feel the threat of death? That's ridiculous!” Jiang Yuecheng shook his head in shock, tried to smile but failed.

”He has gone too far in bullying me! Chu Tiankuo shows his interest in Tang Xia but never considers that Tang Xia is my wife! So, if Chu Tiankuo shows his desire for Tang Xia behind my back, he is trying to cuckold me openly.

”I've been kind and tolerant enough, as I didn't hold him accountable and reveal that he's scum under his disguise as a polite man!

”But now he bites the hand that feeds him and wants even more. And he's trying to kick me out of the company. That's completely intolerable.” Jiang Yuecheng glared at Chu Tiankuo's shadow maliciously and fiercely gritted his teeth.

He swore that he would bring Chu Tiankuo to ruin once he got the chance.

Jiang Yuecheng moved his feet sullenly when Chu Tiankuo's figure had completely disappeared from the office door. But he found surprised that Zhou Linlin was trying to slip away.

”What are you doing?” Jiang Yuecheng felt colder and colder in his heart. He had foreseen that he would lose much more over the next few days.

”But, now it's working time. I must go back to work now.” Zhou Linlin managed to smile but beat around the bush. She was looking around but never cast an eye on Jiang Yuecheng.

”What's 'working time'? We used to do this before, didn't we?” Jiang Yuecheng was unwilling to give up and he didn't believe this woman was so snobbish. There was always warmth between these people, wasn't there?

”... All right. You don't have to struggle anymore. Cousin, I was too young and too naive before. Please forgive me for what I've done. From now on, we're just relatives.”

Zhou Linlin changed her face but looked cold again as she stopped walking. ”I've thought about it a lot and found that we don't match each other at all. This is the end!”

”You! Linlin, I love you. You can't treat me like this.”

Now that Jiang Yuecheng had been frustrated at work, he couldn't bear the breakdown of his relationship with Zhou Linlin. He said with his pleading eyes, ”You said you loved me. Why are you speaking like this to me now? Were you just deceiving me before?”

”You're so bothersome! I've told you that we don't match each other. Why are you still pestering me? What do you want?” Zhou Linlin didn't even conceal her disdainful look on her face as if she were throwing a sticky of candy under her shoe.

Though it seemed that Zhou Linlin was speaking harsh words and looked stern, she was merely pretending.

She didn't know what had happened but the president had made it clear just now that he would kick Jiang Yuecheng out of the company due to his poor personality.

Now that the president disfavored Jiang Yuecheng, she'd better draw the line with him. And to keep herself from being involved, she had to break off all unnecessary relations.

”Is that so?” Jiang Yuecheng trembled out of anger as he looked at Zhou Linlin, who was running away helter-skelter. How ironic it is when a couple distances themselves from each other!

Oh no! They were not a couple yet... for his wife had been abandoned by him in the rain and nobody knew where she was now.

It was not until Jiang Yuecheng checked in at the security room that he came to know that Chu Tiankuo hadn't really fired him but had demoted him to a security guard.

He remembered the old days when he had been so natural and unrestrained even if he hadn't been in the superior position.

Now he was wearing a security guard's uniform, staying in the room, and focusing his eyes on the monitor. How could this match his talents?
