Chapter 260: From Acquaintances to Strangers
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mi Nuo was also shocked. She wanted to plead on Zhang Chaowen’s behalf, but upon seeing Si Zhengting’s cold expression, she ended up saying, “Mr. Si, this… what should we do?”
Zhang Chaowen’s legs felt weak, and his entire body was shivering. He could not care less about cleaning himself up. He hurriedly pleaded, “Mr. Si, I was in the wrong, I was in the wrong, please forgive me just this once…”
He was more obedient than a puppy in this state.
But seeing Zhang Chaowen in this state made Si Zhengting more angry. His sinister and ruthless gaze were affixed on Zhang Chaowen. He waited for a moment before glancing toward Mi Nuo and asking, “Were the salaries paid yesterday?”
Mi Nuo nodded. “Yes, Mr. Si.”
“That makes things less troublesome to deal with.” Si Zhengting looked at Zhang Chaowen. “You said earlier that after terminating her employment, you should circulate news of her bad behavior in the industry?”
His voice was dark and deep, and it was interlaced with barely contained anger.
Zhang Chaowen waved his hands in disagreement. “No, Mr. Si, listen to me, I…”
Si Zhengting resolutely interrupted him. He said compellingly, “I think this punishment is a good one.”
A good one?
Zhang Chaowen was stunned. Punishing Zhuang Nainai was good?
He had not understood what Si Zhengting meant by that until Si Zhengting addressed him again. “You don’t have to come to work tomorrow.”
It was then that Zhang Chaowen understood that Mr. Si was referring to none other than him!
Zhang Chaowen panicked. He had been in this line for so long, so even if he really had to leave the Imperial Group, he would still likely be employed elsewhere. However, if they did circulate their criticism of him within the industry, his source of livelihood would be destroyed!
Thinking about the consequences, his legs grew weak and he fell onto the ground!
In a moment, the office was silent again.
Si Zhengting scanned the office, and his gaze finally swept past Zhuang Nainai. Her expression remained indifferent without any hints of faltering, but her dark eyes reflected regret and sadness.
Si Zhengting found it laughable that she remained indifferent instead of expressing any form of delight.
Helping her to resolve the problem was something to be expected, logically speaking. But her indifference to how he had resolved the problem showed how he was under the false impression that she would be touched by his actions.
He ordered in his deep voice, “Everyone, get off work.”
He turned, taking large strides toward the exit.
Initially, the employees were still speculating about the relationship between Mr. Si and Zhuang Nainai. But after seeing Mr. Si’s apathetic attitude and how he seemed to treat Zhuang Nainai just like every other employee, they thought that they had over-complicated things.
Perhaps Mr. Si was really angry because Zhang Chaowen was bullying the new employees?
Su Mei also heaved a sigh of relief. She attempted to probe Zhuang Nainai for more information. “You met Mr. Si… due to a coincidence?”
Coincidence?
Zhuang Nainai was unable to think straight, and she completely failed to understand what had just happened. She shook her head, saying almost immediately, “I’m not feeling well. I’ll take my leave first.”
She seemed to follow subconsciously the tall and broad-shouldered figure out of the office.
She hobbled behind Si Zhengting. The latter took the elevator for the private use of the President, whereas the former took the ordinary employee elevator. Both entered the elevator one after the other and reached the first level of the basement almost at the same time.
But they did not exchange glances nor words of concern for the other.
Ding!
The private elevator for the President arrived first. Si Zhengting walked forward with an unhappy expression on his face, not saying a word.
He pressed his lips tightly together and finally stopped in front of the car that belonged to him.
He entered the car, indifferently gazing at the space in front of him.
But after waiting for a while, he did not see her chasing after him.
Si Zhengting picked up his phone, a little annoyed. He called her, but she did not pick up.
He waited for a while more, until he grew tired of waiting. He started up his car and left!
But just as he turned a corner, he felt extremely shocked as he suddenly saw a figure that had collapsed near the elevator. He would be able to recognize the figure even if it had been burned to ashes – it was Zhuang Nainai!!
