Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: No Room for Negotiation

Talking and touching his face, he began to cry out in pain.

"Xiao Zheng, what's going on here?" Mo Anna looked at the composed Xiao Zheng, hoping he would provide a verbal explanation.

After all, hitting someone is just not right, especially now when the truth was unclear to everyone.

With so many people present, even if Mo Anna wanted to help Xiao Zheng, she at least needed a reasonable justification.

"Manager Zhang, if you don't win an Oscar for that acting, it would truly be a pity." Xiao Zheng smiled as he looked at him, and the more he smiled, the more frantic Manager Zhang became.

"Mr... Mr. Xiao, stop threatening me. The facts are right before your eyes. Look at my face; it was Mr. Xiao who hit me. I'm going to call the police! Our Qianqiu Group absolutely does not tolerate employees with violent tendencies!"

"It seems Manager Zhang won't give up until he's hit rock bottom," Xiao Zheng said with a laugh, then pulled out his mobile phone in front of everyone and sneered, "I know nothing I say now will be of any use, but I have a recording here, taken before I became physically involved. Right and wrong will be clear after you all listen."

Saying this, Xiao Zheng deliberately handed the phone to Mo Anna.

Mo Anna's elegant eyebrows knitted slightly, her gaze indifferent as she glanced at the nervous Manager Zhang. Just as she took the phone, Manager Zhang suddenly erupted, grabbed the phone from Fiona's hand, and attempted to smash it on the ground, but Xiao Zheng swiftly snatched it back!

"Trying to destroy the evidence?" Xiao Zheng's eyes blazed with fury, a fierce chill reflecting from them.

Manager Zhang's face fell into despair as he collapsed onto the ground, realizing now that speaking was futile.

"Brother Xiao, I was wrong, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. I hope you can be magnanimous and spare me this time."

With the evidence in hand, Manager Zhang had no leg to stand on.

Manager Zhang's attempt to snatch the phone had already exposed his prior lies.

"Manager Zhang, what do you have to say for yourself now?" Mo Anna looked at him coldly, her eyes as indifferent as if she were looking at a dead dog.

At this point, a large number of employees from the sales department gathered around.

Seeing that pleading with Xiao Zheng was useless, Manager Zhang then turned to plead with Mu Yiqing, and then Mo Anna.

In the end, his face was a mix of confusion and desperation.

But Xiao Zheng couldn't help but find the situation somewhat amusing as he looked at Manager Zhang and laughed, "Manager Zhang, you're really showing a guilty conscience. There's actually no recording on the mobile phone. Why did you feel the need to fight over it?"

After speaking, Xiao Zheng played the supposed recording, which contained nothing but the song "Mama Is the Best in the World."

Immediately, Manager Zhang was completely flabbergasted.

Originally, Xiao Zheng was merely playing a psychological game with him. The so-called recording was just a bluff, a test for him. Due to his guilty conscience, he truly believed there was a recording that served as evidence, which is why he tried to snatch it...

"Alright, Sister Mo, I'll leave the decision up to you. I'm going to step out for a smoke."

Having said that, Xiao Zheng winked at her and, in front of all the dumbstruck female employees, he walked away with great flair.

At that moment, he rose from being a seemingly lazy goof-off at work to a high-IQ youth, causing all the female staff to look at him with admiration and affection.

...

At five-thirty in the afternoon, Xiao Zheng finally made it through the afternoon and was preparing to catch a ride home with Leng Ruobing.

Just as he stepped out of the elevator and headed towards the CEO's office, Leng Ruobing was already packing up her documents, walking towards him like a fairy in a painting with a stack of important files in her arms.

"What are you doing here?" Leng Ruobing's delicate eyebrows furrowed, her expression displeased as she looked at Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng took a drag of his cigarette, scratching his head awkwardly, "I'm out of money, so I thought I'd hitch a ride home with my wife."

"No way!"

Leng Ruobing coldly responded.

The rejection caught Xiao Zheng off guard!

"Uh, is there no room for negotiation?" Xiao Zheng said with a resigned smile, touching his nose.

They say having a beautiful wife is a joyous thing, but for Xiao Zheng, this wife was as cold as ice.

"Don't even think about it." Leng Ruobing responded coldly, expressionless.

Given her severe obsession with cleanliness, let alone Xiao Zheng, even if it were her best friend who wanted to get in the car, she would require a change of clothes first.
