209: Fire Meng Chao!

No matter what, Lan Zijun's words still carried some weight.

It was obvious that Lan Zijun already had evidence in hand; that's why she looked so composed and didn't seem anxious at all.

Meng Chao still didn't want to admit it, his eyes darting around, looking very flustered.

If her appearance was this frightening again, Meng Chao realized he might have gotten into big trouble.

He didn't dare to look Lan Zijun in the eye, while Su Yue, who hadn't figured out what was going on, directly told him that this matter was definitely related to Meng Chao.

He crossed his arms over his chest, leaning back lazily, and said, "Why are you getting flustered? Is there something you can't say?"

Then he turned to ask Lan Zijun, "What's going on? I just got back, is this my welcome party?"

After hearing these words, Lan Zijun slowly raised her head, picked up the cup again, and shook it.

"I just made it very clear, Meng Chao, why did you harm someone?"

As soon as she said this, he realized he couldn't hide it anymore, and his facade instantly collapsed.

"President Lan, some things aren't as you see them. I didn't really want to harm anyone, I just wanted to teach him a lesson."

Regardless of his mindset, such an action was utterly despicable.

At this moment, Lan Zijun sensed there might be a hidden reason: "Then tell me, what injustice have you suffered?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Meng Chao became agitated and began secretly cursing Su Yue and Xu Supervisor.

"You two always use the power in your hands to bully others. Do you think we can't see through these things?"

As he spoke, some heartbreaking sounds came out.

"I am clearly so capable, but now I haven't been given important tasks or opportunities for promotion. This is all because of your existence!"

Then he spoke of the unpleasant emotions in his heart: "Besides, Xu Supervisor has been in the hospital for so long, his position is still unfilled, and there's been no word from above."

At this moment, Lan Zijun and Su Yue didn't feel any surprise. If Meng Chao were truly capable, he might have been promoted long ago.

He always tried to impress others with his petty schemes, but it was just like trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice instead, or lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot.

Lan Zijun explained the situation to him, her expression extremely cold.

"Xu Supervisor is capable, that's why he is in his position today. He put in a tremendous amount of effort!"

At this point, Meng Chao turned his attack towards Su Yue, extending his hand and pointing at his face.

"And you! Why? None of you are capable, yet you can sit in such high positions and earn so much money. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"Su Yue, besides being a bit good-looking, with just a pretty face that makes you look like a gigolo, why are you stepping on my head!"

Even at this point, Meng Chao still hadn't realized his own mistakes and was pushing all the blame onto others.

After hearing these words, Lan Zijun held her forehead with her hand, rubbing it gently, feeling a headache.

"Stop for a moment, Meng Chao. Why don't you look for the reasons within yourself? Why haven't you been given important tasks? Can you explain?"

But Meng Chao completely ignored what Lan Zijun said, just sighing helplessly.

"So what? I've already done something like this. I don't believe President Lan can be merciful and keep me in the company."

He had already considered the consequences when he decided to do this.

He had long known that the company had no place for him, especially since it was clear that Lan Zijun was still siding with Su Yue and Xu Supervisor.

He just cursed Su Yue to himself, saying, "Tell me, what capability do you have? If you can tell me, I'd still be willing to submit to you!"

Then he let out a loud laugh: "Don't even think about it, you're not capable, and there's absolutely no way I'll ever submit to you!"

But Su Yue had no idea when he had stepped on his head; he was just an ordinary employee in the company.

As for the title 'gigolo,' he couldn't possibly qualify for it. By saying this, Meng Chao had essentially slapped himself in the face.

Interrupting what he had just said, Su Yue asked him blankly, "What do you mean? When did I step on your head? When did I crush you?"

"Doesn't everyone rely on their ability to speak? Shouldn't you explain this clearly to me?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Chao completely broke down, wishing he could immediately collapse onto the floor.

His eyes began to turn red, not from tears, but clearly from extreme anger.

"Su Yue, don't you understand what's going on even now? Everyone is responsible for me becoming like this today."

The words Meng Chao spoke next not only surprised Su Yue but also made Lan Zijun herself somewhat disbelieving after hearing them.

At this moment, Meng Chao let out a half-smile, half-sneer sound in the office.

"Aren't you just relying on being good-looking? What's so good about being a gigolo? It's all because you stole the one I loved, do you know? How much this kind of emotional pain hurts me!"

"I'll be honest with you, I've liked President Lan for a long time. From the very first moment I saw her, I deeply recognized this person."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists: "If it weren't for President Lan's sake, I would have already laid hands on you. Do you really think you can have such a good time in the company?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yue just looked helpless. He had no intentions towards Lan Zijun; it was just a normal superior-subordinate relationship.

"If you're going to talk like that, I have nothing to say. I want to remind you, I'm not a gigolo. Please mind your language."

Meng Chao had expressed his feelings, then turned to look at Lan Zijun.

"Today, I'm being shameless and thick-skinned, saying these things like this. Anyway, these aren't outsiders."

But even if Lan Zijun's usual image wasn't satisfactory, after hearing such words, her face couldn't help but blush.

She didn't clarify the relationship between herself and Su Yue, after all, their relationship might indeed be a bit ambiguous.

But how to explain it might be a matter without a clear beginning or end, and it couldn't be explained clearly in a short while.

"Meng Chao, what you said today, swallow it after you leave here. I don't want to hear such rumors from other people's mouths."

But Meng Chao was very confused as to why the feelings he expressed would still be rejected.

"President Lan, do you think I'm particularly useless, that's why you're rejecting me now?"

"I will definitely try my best to work hard and strive to be worthy of you. Since I've already expressed my feelings, I won't hide them anymore in the future."

But Lan Zijun had no feelings for someone like Meng Chao. She rubbed her temples with her hand, gently waving her hand.

"That's not what I mean. I think you might have misunderstood me. Matters of the heart aren't something that can happen just because you say something and I say something."

"A forced melon isn't sweet. I think you know that better than me. So I hope you don't continue to invest in this relationship that has no future. It will only exhaust your personal emotions."

After hearing these words, Meng Chao's heart broke down even more. He didn't know what words to use to describe the feeling in his heart.

He only felt that he had bared his heart, placed it before the other person, only to have it trampled upon.

"What? Do you think this feeling isn't sincere enough? Then what exactly do I need to do to gain your true heart?"

Even now, Meng Chao was still immersed in his own world, unable to extricate himself.

He didn't even understand what 'mutual consent' meant. It's no wonder someone who loves to dwell on details like this has been stuck in his original position for so long.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the office became a bit awkward, and no one spoke.

Everyone had a look of helplessness on their faces. After all, what Meng Chao said was a small matter to Lan Zijun.

But for him, it was a big deal. It concerned feelings, and this was no child's play.

"President Lan, please give me a chance. I definitely won't make you regret it. I will absolutely not be a gigolo like Su Yue, only trying to please you."

Suddenly, at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the order of things was interrupted.

Soon, Lan Zijun straightened herself, slightly shrugged her shoulders, and changed her expression.

"This is the company. Don't talk about personal matters here. The person outside is definitely here to report on work. You don't need me to tell you what to do, right?"

After she said "come in," the person who pushed the door open was none other than Xu Supervisor.

He held the materials in his hand, shaking them gently. His overall mental state was also much worse than before.

He had only been back for a short time before throwing himself back into work. His dedication was unmatched.

"President Lan, I've sorted out all the documents you requested just now. I've also read through everything I missed during this period and have a rough idea of what's going on."

His work attitude was much more serious than Meng Chao's, who had just been aggressively accusing others.

It was also very clear that he had lost a lot of weight, having diarrhea to the point of near collapse.

Taking advantage of this moment was a good opportunity. Why not reveal the truth directly?

Just as Xu Supervisor looked at the people in the room and was about to leave, Su Yue stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

"Xu Supervisor, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Haven't you been having diarrhea to the point of near collapse? The culprit is right in front of you now. Don't you want an explanation?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Supervisor's face showed some surprise. He couldn't believe that this person dared to openly lay hands on his superior.

"Who? There are only a few of us in this room. Could it be Meng Chao?"

Su Yue slightly nodded his head and pointed at Meng Chao: "Anyway, he's standing right there. As for whether it's him, you'll know after a thorough interrogation."

At this moment, Xu Supervisor took a few steps forward, grabbing Meng Chao's collar with his hand, extremely furious.

"You did this, didn't you? I really didn't expect you to even have the thought of harming someone now. Why did you do it!"

Facing such questioning, Meng Chao felt extremely wronged. He was just venting the frustrations in his heart.

"Having diarrhea won't kill anyone. I just wanted to teach you a lesson. Besides, why do you always get promoted? Is that fair to me?"

Then he let out a loud laugh, crossing his arms over his chest: "Shouldn't I fight for some benefits for myself? It serves you right for always stepping on me?"

Finally, he took a step forward: "I'll tell you directly, if you can fall from that position, I can definitely climb up!"

But Xu Supervisor wasn't panicked at all after hearing this, just smiling coldly.

"If you're going to talk like that, I can give you a satisfactory answer. Ask yourself, are the things you've done suitable for being a leader?"

"If a leader dislikes their subordinates and gives them laxatives, should the people above really choose someone with such strong vengeful intentions to be a leader?"

At this moment, he took a step back: "One should always be content but not complacent. I obtained all of this through my own efforts. Why are you criticizing me?"

"Someone like you who only wants to steal the fruits of others' labor is the most hateful!"

The words spoken next made Meng Chao lose a lot of face. He lowered his head and was too embarrassed to look up at others.

He felt that he had lost face here today, and his face was starting to feel hot and burning.

Immediately, he exploded, "Since you won't give me face, I won't consider your feelings at all!"

"Isn't it just a company? Isn't it just a position? I don't believe that after leaving here, I won't find a place where I'm needed?"

His thinking now was probably 'If there's no place for me here, there's always a place for me elsewhere,' but finding a job now wasn't something that could be done overnight.

Various high-paid talents are wandering in society, and many university students are unemployed. They are much more hardworking than Meng Chao.

Everyone's pretense was completely torn apart. Lan Zijun also didn't want to step forward and say anything fair.

As a leader, she could only criticize Meng Chao's behavior: "Giving someone laxatives is wrong to begin with. You haven't realized your mistake and are instead being unreasonable here. You should think about it carefully."

Who knew that as soon as she said this, Meng Chao directly threw the resignation letter he had prepared in advance onto the table.

"Don't you just want me to leave? As you wish!"

As he left, he slammed the door heavily with a bang, startling the people outside.
