Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: He’s Not a Good Person

"Mr. Zhang, I... I admit I was foolish, only focusing on the profits. But the contract we signed with the other party is a temporary one. YunTian Network can terminate it unilaterally at any time!" Yang Di said.But his sweating reaction and the distorted tone of his voice were enough to show that it wasn't that simple."A temporary contract? Isn't that just a way to cover your own back? Realizing that, and calling it foolish?" Ye Chen remarked.It was clear Zhang Jingshan had also realized this point.He turned to Chen Yinuo and asked, "Miss Chen, when you discussed renewing the contract with Yang Di, how did he respond?"As soon as Zhang Jingshan asked, Yang Di's legs went weak. If not for the security guards catching him in time, he would have collapsed to the ground.Whew!He didn't speak immediately.Chen Yinuo took a deep breath, as if gathering great courage.She said, "Manager Yang told me that if I agreed to accompany him, he would renew the promotion contract with me. Otherwise, it's off the table!""Accompany him?" These two words sounded casual, but the true meaning was clear to anyone who understood.At these words, Yang Di's face turned as pale as paper."Yang Di, you son of a b****!"Zhang Jingshan, a man of fiery temperament, could no longer hold back his fury.He kicked Yang Di in the stomach with all his might!In the blink of an eye, the two security guards who had been supporting Yang Di instinctively let go.With a scream, his slightly overweight body crashed into the reception desk, falling to the floor in a heap."Go, call the finance department, clear his salary right now!" Zhang Jingshan pointed at the two stunned receptionists.But that wasn't enough to ease his anger.Zhang Jingshan turned to the dazed security guards, "What are you standing there for? Get him out of here! From now on, there's no such person as Yang Di in YunTian Network!""Yes, yes, Mr. Zhang!" The guards trembled as they rushed to drag Yang Di out.Not to mention the fact that the security guards had long been resentful of Yang Di's attitude towards the lower-level employees. They had only been putting up with him because of his position in the company."I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry!" Yang Di cried out desperately. "Please give me another chance, I promise I won't make the same mistake again!""Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang!"But Zhang Jingshan was unmoved by his pleas.He shouted at the guards, "Hurry up and make him disappear!"Once Yang Di was thrown out of the company, Zhang Jingshan's mood calmed slightly.With utmost sincerity, he turned to Chen Yinuo and said, "Miss Chen, I'm really sorry. I've been negligent in managing things. I'll make sure to give an explanation to your company's president.""No problem, Mr. Zhang. So... can we proceed with renewing the promotion contract?" Chen Yinuo, having been beaten down by life countless times, wasn't interested in anything else. She just wanted to keep her job."Of course, we can sign it now. I'll sign it personally. Do you have the contract ready?" Zhang Jingshan asked."Great, great! Yes, yes!" Chen Yinuo eagerly took out the contract.Zhang Jingshan took it without even looking at it.He walked to the front desk, picked up a pen, and signed his name with swift strokes.He then handed the contract back to Chen Yinuo and said, "Take it to the business department on the fourth floor, and have them stamp it.""Thank you!" Chen Yinuo bowed deeply, tears welling up in her eyes.Throughout the whole process, she didn't look at Ye Chen again.She had completely forgotten that if it wasn't for Ye Chen's appearance, she never would have had the chance to meet Zhang Jingshan or easily secure the promotion contract. She might have even been slapped by Yang Di and kicked out of YunTian Network.But that was all... her deep-rooted resentment towards Ye Chen had clouded her mind, and she didn't think about it anymore.As she was about to walk out, she suddenly stopped."Mr. Zhang, he's not a good person. Don't let him fool you!"With that, she hurried to the elevator.Ye Chen's face showed a bitter smile.Zhang Jingshan froze for a moment. He? She was talking about Ye Chen?What could Zhang Jingshan possibly be fooled by? His only interaction with Ye Chen was that Buddhist bead bracelet!If the bracelet turned out to be fake, it wasn't Ye Chen who had deceived him, but Lu Cheng!"Mr. Ye, are you... two a couple?" Zhang Jingshan asked, his expression a mixture of confusion and intrigue.Ye Chen didn't answer. He deflected, "I hope I didn't make you laugh, Mr. Zhang!""It's fine. Let's go. I was in such a hurry earlier that I forgot to bring the money. Come with me upstairs," Zhang Jingshan said."Alright!"...In the office, Zhang Jingshan smiled as he handed Ye Chen a sizable brown paper bag."Here's three hundred thousand, count it.""No need to count, Mr. Zhang. I trust you."Ye Chen took the paper bag and tucked it under his arm. As he was about to leave, he paused, then turned to Zhang Jingshan."Mr. Zhang, thanks.""Hmm? Thank me? Shouldn't I be thanking you?" Zhang Jingshan chuckled."Thank you for helping Yinuo. Signing that contract means she can go back and report smoothly," Ye Chen said.Zhang Jingshan didn't comment on that. "If anyone should be thanking anyone, it's me thanking you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known there was such a bad apple in the company. And Mr. Ye, I know that Buddhist bead bracelet is worth more than three hundred thousand. I believe you know that too. But since you're so straightforward, I won't be too fussy. The same deal still stands, I owe you a favor. If you ever need help, you can call in the favor for the bracelet. It's a fair exchange."Ye Chen, who had been about to leave, stopped in his tracks upon hearing this.After a brief pause, he said, "Mr. Zhang, does your company have a lot of beautiful female streamers?"短暂的停顿后,他说道:"张先生,贵公司有很多漂亮的女主播吗?Zhang Jingshan's face changed slightly at the question. "Yes, why?"张景山听到这个问题,脸色微微一变."是的,为什么?""It's nothing. Just thought I'd warn you, temptation often comes with a trap. As the old saying goes, 'A knife lies above the word 'love'.' But, as men, not many can resist the allure of the word 'love'. So, when facing temptation, it's best to keep an eye out for the trap and avoid stepping into it.""没什么.只是想警告你,诱惑往往伴随着陷阱.俗话说,''爱'这个词之上有一把刀.但是,作为男人,没有多少人能抗拒"爱"这个词的诱惑.所以,当面临诱惑时,最好留意陷阱,避免踏入其中.Ye Chen hadn't intended to interfere in Zhang Jingshan's fate, but seeing his behavior earlier in the lobby made Ye Chen feel compelled to offer a warning.叶辰本来无意干涉张景山的命运,但看到他早些时候在大厅里的行为,让叶辰觉得有必要发出警告.He could only give a subtle hint about altering the course of Zhang Jingshan's destiny.As for whether Zhang Jingshan would understand or believe it, that was up to him."Mr. Ye, what do you mean by that?" Zhang Jingshan frowned.YunTian Network had a number of female streamers.And there were certainly many who wanted to sleep with him.But the only one with whom there was an illicit relationship was his top female streamer, Yi Yi.Could it be that Yi Yi was trying to trap him?Impossible!"I'm just saying, your forehead doesn't look right. My instinct tells me you might be in for a romantic mishap. But whether you believe it or not, it's up to you, Mr. Zhang," Ye Chen said with a smile."So you're also into fortune-telling?" Zhang Jingshan sneered."It's still up to you, Mr. Zhang. I'll take my leave now."With the bulging paper bag of three hundred thousand, Ye Chen stepped out of the office.Behind him, Zhang Jingshan didn't call him back.But the smirk on his face gradually faded as his expression grew more serious.Could Ye Chen's words be true? Zhang Jingshan wasn't sure.But the unsettling aura of Ye Chen and Chen Yinuo's warning had planted a seed of doubt in his mind.
