Diary of Getting Rich Quick in the South

Xu Mingde was also surprised when I suddenly pushed the door open and came in; his expression was a little stiff.

Did I say anything? You must have misheard me.

Xu Mingde dared not admit it; he said he would leave once he was spared.

I moved aside to block him from going out.

Perhaps because Jiang Wenli was there, Xu Mingde's face darkened when he saw how disrespectful I was, and he shoved me with annoyance.

"Chen An, are you out of your mind? What are you doing blocking this way? Get out of my way!"

You dare to fight back?

I've been annoyed with that old bastard for a long time. Last time, he almost got me fired, and later he even got Zhang Dongting's ex-husband to sow discord, which almost led to Zhang Dongting being assaulted and me being hospitalized.

I've been holding back a lot of anger.

Seeing that he refused to admit it and even pushed me, I immediately got angry, grabbed Xu Mingde by the collar and pinned him against the wall.

Xu Mingde was also surprised by my sudden action, and his expression was somewhat flustered.

But after glancing at Jiang Wenli out of the corner of my eye, I snapped at her and yelled at her.

"Chen An, what the hell are you trying to do! If you don't let go of me, believe me, I'll have HR fire you right now!"

I grabbed Xu Mingde by the collar and punched him hard in the stomach.

Xu Mingde cried out in pain and bent over.

Jiang Wenli screamed in fright and quickly covered her mouth.

Screams erupted, and I heard a lot of footsteps rushing this way.

I ignored her, and I paid no attention to those who rushed in upon hearing the noise, staring intently at Xu Mingde and deliberately asking loudly.

"Xu Mingde, don't play innocent with me! I'm asking you! Last time I signed a contract with General Manager Zhou of the food trading company, you knew perfectly well that General Manager Zhou was a Hui Muslim, so why did you deliberately set a trap for me to buy pork jerky for him? Was it because you tried to get Bai Yan drunk, but I stopped you, so you held a grudge and deliberately harmed me?"

I didn't mention that he secretly colluded with Zhang Dongting's ex-husband to deliberately trip me up. There were too many colleagues present, and it was inappropriate to bring up such a private and sensitive matter in public.

As soon as he finished speaking, the tea room fell silent.

All of his colleagues' eyes were immediately focused on Xu Mingde.

Even Jiang Wenli, who was having an affair with Xu Mingde, stared at him with wide eyes and disbelief.

Perhaps pressured by the stares of the crowd, Xu Mingde, with a sudden burst of strength, abruptly flung my hand away and yelled at me at the top of his lungs.

"Chen An! Stop talking nonsense! When did I set you up? You're the one who's stupid and has poor comprehension. You messed things up and now you're trying to blame me!"

He became increasingly agitated, his face flushed red: "And what about Bai Yan? Stop making baseless accusations! When did I deliberately get her drunk? Where's the evidence? Produce me! If you can't, I'll sue you for defamation and make you regret it!"

evidence?

I was taken aback; I didn't have any direct evidence that he had deliberately gotten Bai Yan drunk.

Seeing that I was speechless, Xu Mingde suddenly became very confident, slowly adjusted his collar, and deliberately spoke loudly.

"Chen An, you dare to publicly accuse people in the company without any evidence? You're incompetent at your job, can't handle clients, so all you do is slander your superiors? I think you have a twisted mentality! You must apologize to me publicly today, or this isn't over..."

Before I could finish speaking, Xu Mingde suddenly froze on the spot, staring straight at what was behind me.

I instinctively turned my head and saw Bai Yan standing behind me, glaring angrily at Xu Mingde.

"Xu Mingde, you don't need him to find evidence, I have it."

Bai Yan took out a voice recorder and coldly looked at Xu Mingde, whose face had turned pale instantly.

"You take advantage of your position as supervisor and repeatedly take advantage of me under the guise of work! You forced me to drink with you during team building activities, and privately invited me out for dinner and karaoke, implying that if I obeyed you, I could get priority in commissions, land high-quality jobs, and get promoted and receive a raise quickly."

"Last time you deliberately got me drunk, it wasn't for work-related socializing at all, you just had bad intentions and wanted to take advantage of me."

"You held a grudge against Chen An for stopping you, and you've been targeting and making things difficult for him at every turn. Do you think nobody knows about these things?"

Bai Yan then pressed the play button on the voice recorder.

Xu Mingde's greasy and lewd voice immediately came from inside.

"Xiao Yan, you'll only have a future if you listen to me. Come out with me tonight and let's have a good talk about work. I'll give you the biggest order in the company next time."

"Don't pretend to be reserved. Don't you know the rules of the industry? If you want to move up, you have to be flexible and willing to put in the effort. Work hard with me, and no one will dare to bully you in the future. You'll get plenty of benefits."

"Xiao Yan, you handled that order this morning incorrectly. How about this, come out tonight, and I'll teach you how to handle it... I've already booked a room, Lido Hotel, room 802. You should understand what I mean."

The whole place erupted in chaos.

Everyone looked at Xu Mingde with disdain.

Xu Mingde's face turned pale and then flushed, looking extremely unsightly.

The astonished, disdainful, and mocking looks from his colleagues were like countless slaps to his face, making him feel utterly ashamed.

"Shut it down! Shut it down right now! This is slander, it's fabricated!"

He roared and lunged forward, trying to snatch the recording pen from Bai Yan's hand.

Seeing this, I stepped forward and blocked Bai Yan's path.

"Xu Mingde, what do you have to say now!"

"I'm talking about your mom!"

Xu Mingde was completely enraged, and with bloodshot eyes, he slapped me across the face.

He started it, so I don't need to be polite.

Although I haven't had any systematic training, I'd say I could take on three of these good-for-nothings by myself, no exaggeration!

I dodged his slap by sidestepping and punched him hard in the bridge of his nose.

With a "bang," Xu Mingde's nose suddenly gushed blood.

Before he could retaliate, I stepped forward, grabbed his hair tightly, and shoved him down hard. At the same time, I bent my knee and slammed it into his stomach.

The intense pain caused Xu Mingde to scream, bend over, gag repeatedly, and collapse.

If Zhang Dongting hadn't heard the noise and rushed over, I really would have killed him.

"Chen An, what are you doing? Put the flowerpot down!"

Seeing me holding the flowerpot with both hands, my eyes red, ready to smash it down, Zhang Dongting was startled. Ignoring the criticism from her colleagues, she quickly came up and hugged my waist.

Then she yelled at her male colleague who was standing there dumbfounded, "What are you all standing there for? Grab the flowerpot!"

Several male colleagues then realized what was happening and quickly came over to snatch the flowerpot from my hand.

By this time, I had calmed down and stood aside, glaring angrily at Xu Mingde.

Zhang Dongting glanced around, her face cold, and said in a chilling voice, "What are you all doing standing here? Don't you have to work? If you don't want to work, go home!"

The crowd dispersed in a flurry. Jiang Wenli gave me a strange look, then lowered her head and followed the crowd away.

"Bai Yan, you should go back first too."

Seeing that Bai Yan was standing still, Zhang Dongting said something indifferently.

Bai Yan glanced at Zhang Dongting, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, and didn't say much. She simply handed me the recorder and gave me a wink.

I understand what she means. She's afraid I'll be punished by Zhang Dongting, and she hopes this recording pen can help me.

After the three of us were alone, Zhang Dongting glanced at me worriedly. Seeing that I wasn't injured, she turned her cold face to look at Xu Mingde, who was getting up from the ground.

"Xu Mingde, who gave you the audacity to cause trouble at the company? I think you don't want to work here anymore!"
