Chapter 218: Chapter 218: This Ti It Really Hurts! Chapter 218: Chapter 218: This Ti It Really Hurts! So, everyone began to wait, and the entire private room fell silent.
After about two minutes, Niu Bochao checked his phone, then stood up and said, “Our boss is here, everyone please wait a mont, I’ll go out to receive him.” With that, he scampered off.
By this point, it was no longer just a simple class reunion; everyone was craning their necks, eager to see whether Niu Bochao would be able to suppress Wang Hao or if Wang Hao would crush Niu Bochao.
“Brother Niu’s backup seems weighty; Wang Hao might have a tough ti.”
“Definitely, the general manager of Haiseng Group’s Zhonghai Branch is no ordinary person! Even if a big celebrity ca, they’d have to give face.”
“Let’s see what happens next, it’s bound to be spectacular!”
So classmates whispered among themselves, while Long Yi stealthily tugged at Wang Hao’s clothes and whispered, “Brother Hao, can you handle it? If not, I can call so backup for you! Damn it, we can’t let him be so arrogant!” The people around him nodded in agreent.
“It’s nothing,” Wang Hao said with a chuckle, casually waving his phone and not at all anxious: “Just watch, there’s a good show coming.”
“Here they co!” Not much later, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Niu Bochao, flanked by two girls, escorted a smartly dressed young man inside. At this mont, Niu Bochao puffed out his chest and announced loudly, “Let introduce soone important to everyone! Our general manager of the Haiseng Group Zhonghai Branch, Li Mingzhe! Please welco him!”
Loud applause erupted in the room; Xia Fei and the group who had just been toasted by Wang Hao applauded until their hands turned red!
Li Mingzhe! An absolute heavyweight!
“Pleasure to et everyone,” Li Mingzhe greeted with a smile and then turned to Niu Bochao to ask, “Where’s that badass you were talking about? Let have a look at who’s being so brazen, I’m going to slap so faces.”
“That one!” Niu Bochao pointed at Wang Hao: “It’s him!”
“Oh, so it’s you… Brother Hao!” Li Mingzhe’s eyes widened in an instant, and he charged over, hastily paying his respects: “Brother Hao, when did you get here?! Ah, it’s been a few days since we last contacted, everything okay recently?”
Niu Bochao: “…” Yin Chunyan: “…” Xia Fei: “…” Wu Jun: “…” Yu Junpeng: “…” Diao Hongru: “…” Cai Mingzhe: “…” Others: “…”
“Gasp—!!!” A chorus of gasps filled the air.
Everyone had a look of utter bewildernt!
What’s going on? Did these two know each other from before? And not just acquaintances at that; Li seed to be acting like Wang Hao’s lackey—what’s the aning of this?!
Xia Fei: “Am… am I dreaming?!”
Wu Jun: “What’s happening? Does Wang Hao even know this guy?!”
Yu Junpeng: “And it’s clearly not just an acquaintance, look at the way Li behaves towards Wang Hao!”
Lu Yu: “I… I can’t take this anymore! I just can’t!”
Their side was utterly dumbfounded, while Long Yi was overjoyed: “Brother Hao is indeed aweso! What a slap in the face! Hahaha! Bring it on, one by one, we’re pumped to watch this today!”
“Li… Mr. Li, you…” Niu Bochao was stunned: “You… knew each other already?”
“Of course, we know each other,” Li Mingzhe said proudly, draping an arm over Wang Hao’s shoulder, “Who doesn’t know our Brother Hao? He’s absolutely the number one guy in Zhonghai!” He chuckled, adding: “That pretentious guy you were talking about must be my Brother Hao, right? Don’t you ever look in the mirror, is there any need for my Brother Hao to show off in front of you guys? Don’t go slapping gold on your face for nothing, you’re not on that level, got it?”
Niu Bochao was so chastised he didn’t dare let out a peep.
The slap on the face was truly, painfully palpable.
“Alright, co on, Li, let introduce you,” Wang Hao said with a smile, getting up, “This is Niu Bochao, my high school classmate, the son of my father’s comrade-in-arms, we’ve got quite the history! You know, I even applied to be a security guard at your company a while ago, this classmate of mine specially asked for your permission, but you didn’t approve it…”
“Wait a minute, Brother Hao, what did you say?!” Li Mingzhe’s eyes instantly widened: “You applied to our company, and I haven’t approved it? Impossible, I’ve never dealt with recruitnt personally, it has always been handled by your classmate here.”
Li Mingzhe’s words caused everyone in the room to turn their gaze towards Niu Bochao.
Then you could see Niu Bochao sweating profusely…
“That’s not right,” Wang Hao said in confusion: “Before, Niu told that he received my resu and went to ask for Mr. Li’s advice because of our old classmate bond. But then you said your company has educational requirents, stating that even a security guard needs to have a bachelor’s degree!”
Once Wang Hao ntioned this, everyone in the room suddenly understood!
Niu Bochao didn’t actually seek any guidance; he never ntioned it and probably had discarded Wang Hao’s resu himself!
“Brother Hao, you can’t just slap in the face like that,” Li Mingzhe exclaid: “Just for a security guard! Why would I need a bachelor’s degree for a security guard? Even if university graduates are as common as cabbages, I can’t do that!”
“Ah? Really not?” Wang Hao was surprised: “You really never said that?”
“Definitely not,” Li Mingzhe, with a quick glance, realized that Niu Bochao was the culprit, and sneered: “Niu Bochao, you’re quite sothing, huh? Your own classmate, and the son of your dad’s comrade-in-arms, just wanted to be a security guard at our company, and you just blocked him like that, right? I rember there was a ti we were hiring security guards not so long ago; we needed twenty for the company, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Wang Hao nodded vigorously: “That’s the one! I applied because there were many openings.”
“Heh heh,” Li Mingzhe’s gaze was almost murderous by now: “Niu Bochao, how many did you hire for that round of security guard recruitnt? Sixteen people were hired, and among them, four were your relatives! Isn’t that right?! Normally, I would turn a blind eye to these matters and not bother to question them. And yet, when Brother Hao, who is so close to you, cos to you, this is how you handle things?! You’d rather leave four spots vacant than to consider him, right?! What were the requirents I stated at the ti? Aged between twenty-two and thirty, physically healthy, and at least a high school diploma, right?”
As soon as Li Mingzhe said these words, Niu Bochao’s face turned pale!
All the classmates in the private room looked at him with cold eyes.
In fact, if it was just a joke or showing off, everyone could understand because, without so boasting, what’s the difference between us and salted fish?
But to employ such tactics on a classmate, and the son of a father’s comrade-in-arms, that’s really pointless.
Looking at how dressed up you are, everyone kindly calls you Niu and Brother Niu, isn’t everyone just figuring that if there’s real trouble and one needs help, you could lend a hand?
If this is how you handle things, then why should anyone bother with you? A stranger would be better!
“Niu, isn’t the way you handled this rather distasteful?” Cai Mingzhe was the first to speak up: “Jokes aside, the way you dealt with this matter isn’t very nice, is it?”
The others nodded in agreent: “That’s right, that’s right, the guy ca to you for help, how could you do sothing like this?” “Indeed, it’s just a security job, not much of a requirent, why would you purposely obstruct him, what’s the aning of that?” “Such a person isn’t worth associating with, just pointless, bad character!”
Niu Bochao’s sweat dripped down layer by layer; this ti he was truly at a loss for words.
“Tell you what, I’m not going to make it difficult for you,” Li Mingzhe said coldly, looking at him: “My small company can’t support a white-eyed wolf like you. You can find a better opportunity sowhere else, that okay?”
“Mr. Li, I… I! Please give another chance! Just one more chance!” Niu Bochao panicked instantly! This job was absolutely golden collar level with a monthly salary close to 20,000 yuan! If he lost it, how would he survive?!
“Oh my, Niu, look at the ss you caused,” Wang Hao said with a chuckle: “I just applied to be a security guard, and accidentally, your job is gone. Sorry, truly sorry! How about this, you once sent a poem, now let return the favor!”
At that mont, Xia Xueqi decisively played along, smiling: “Brother Hao, recite a poem?”
Long Yi egged him on from the side: “Yeah, make a poem!”
“Forgive if it’s not good,” Wang Hao said as he circled the room, then slowly began: “Old friends sought help in urgent tis, traps laid in secret, full of guile and sches! Niu, don’t take it to heart, I’m just trying to rhy!”
The room fell utterly silent.
Who would have thought that only monts ago Niu Bochao was the one mocking Wang Hao, but after a round of toasting, not only did Niu lose his job, but he also got his couppance. And this round of payback truly hurt!
