Capítulo 1346: Chapter 1344: Stop Right There!
“So, have you thought it over?”
As the salary was ntioned, a sense of pride appeared on Cheng Ting’s face. He believed no one could resist such a temptation, after all, it was twenty million!
“Just this little bit of money?”
While Cheng Ting was feeling extrely pleased and Secretary Zhong and others were shocked, Hao Jian just spoke calmly, “If there’s nothing else, let
through.”
“You… what did you say?!”
Cheng Ting’s lips trembled as he looked at Hao Jian. He couldn’t believe his ears; he actually heard a refusal! This guy actually rejected his offer?!
“You don’t want this offer?!”
“Don’t want it.”
Hao Jian impatiently waved his hand, looking at Cheng Ting, and said, “If you have nothing else, move aside quickly, I have urgent matters to handle.”
With that, Hao Jian started to move forward.
“Stop!”
Just as Hao Jian was taking a step, an angry voice suddenly rang out, causing him to pause and turn around to see Zhao Wei not far away.
Seeing Zhao Wei, a mocking expression appeared at the corner of Hao Jian’s mouth, “Seems like you’re quite good at being a lackey, speaking up even before your master does?”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wei’s eager words imdiately halted. His face turned slightly pale, realizing his mistake after Hao Jian pointed it out.
He knew his boss’s character very well — the boss didn’t like being interrupted by his subordinates. But earlier, he was just too anxious and opened his mouth, fearing Hao Jian might leave.
As soon as he spoke, he regretted it. At that mont, he hadn’t considered his boss’s presence. Now, he looked towards Cheng Ting with a frightened heart and a flustered expression.
Everything he had was thanks to Cheng Ting, and if Cheng Ting didn’t want him anymore, he would lose everything. Without those things, he wouldn’t even have a chance to pursue Lin Qingxue!
He hoped that even if they were going to fire him, they’d give him a chance, a chance to win over Lin Qingxue!
“Hmph!”
Fortunately, at this ti, Cheng Ting didn’t intend to trouble Zhao Wei. In the public eye, he wanted to appear more friendly to his employees. This way, others would consider him in the future, and he wanted to give people like Zhao Wei, Yu Hu, and even Hao Jian a good impression.
However, this was relatively speaking. If soone was extrely rude or arrogant to him, he could totally ignore these considerations.
After all, he had plenty of money, and those wanting to fight underground with their fists were mostly those who needed money urgently. As long as this was true, he could make big moves and draw these talented people under his command.
Joining was easy for the people, but withdrawing wasn’t that easy. He had used this thod to gain nurous strong subordinates; Zhao Wei and Yu Hu were just so examples.
As long as he gave them the right amount of money, would they risk losing it? They would absolutely work loyally unless they wanted to go against money.
Yet today? He was rejected, and this person even said, just this little bit of money?!
This was twenty million! Still considered little?! Even for him, Cheng Ting, he would have to think carefully about whether spending this much money was worth it or could yield returns.
“Kid, sotis as a person, you need to watch what you say, because in this world, all kinds of people exist…”
Cheng Ting looked at Hao Jian, eyes blazing with anger.
“Oh?”
Hao Jian let out a sneering laugh, mocking, “You think you can win
over with just this twenty million? Isn’t that a bit too naive?!”
“You don’t need to talk about how rich you are. I can only tell you, no matter how much money you have, you absolutely can’t afford to hire !”
“Arrogant!”
Secretary Zhong roared. He knew very well about Cheng Ting’s capabilities, with assets at least in the billions. Yet this guy said no matter how much money, he couldn’t hire him?!
If that’s not arrogance, what is?!
“Don’t think that just because you defeated Cliff, you can be arrogant in front of us. Let
tell you, our strength is definitely more than just on the surface. Although our surface strength alone can deal with you, we absolutely won’t allow you to be arrogant in front of us!”
Secretary Zhong roared, not bothering with Cheng Ting. He had long been fed up with Hao Jian’s attitude, and now being provoked, it was extrely difficult for him to keep his mouth shut.
And behind him, Zhao Wei, just like him, looked at Hao Jian with anger in his eyes, united in his hatred, also shouted at Hao Jian: “Kid, don’t think you’re invincible! No matter how strong you are, you’re still just one person, with no backing!”
“You need to understand, there are many ways in this world to kill a person, individual might is just one of them. If not for the value you hold, we wouldn’t bother with you.”
“But you refuse the wine of courtesy and choose to drink the wine of penalty! Not only have you thwarted our boss’s good intentions, he treasures talent and tolerated you repeatedly, but your response to him is this arrogance. Are you deliberately courting death?!”
Zhao Wei’s words ca across logically, leaving Hao Jian stunned. He really hadn’t noticed that this Zhao Wei, when speaking, could be so fierce! He turned every curve and bend into a straight line.
Directly portraying his boss as a towering figure, while he was made out to be an ungrateful and arrogant guy?
Even Cheng Ting, who understood the aning behind his words, suppressed his anger from his subordinate’s interruption, and looked at Zhao Wei with a different eye, surprised that this guy, aside from boxing, was quite rciless in his insults!
After Zhao Wei finished his words, he suddenly noticed sothing off, and a tremor ran through him. He had only spoken them in a fit of anger and feared that Cheng Ting might hold this against him.
But when he slightly glanced over at Cheng Ting, he found he had no response, but instead showed a look of deep approval.
He made a point!
Seeing Cheng Ting’s sowhat satisfied expression, Zhao Wei was secretly pleased, imdiately saying to Cheng Ting: “Boss, leave this guy to . This brat has disrespected you; he must be severely punished! He must be held accountable for his words!”
“After all, your reputation can’t be destroyed by such a lowly rascal! I suspect this guy is likely in league with that Cliff. Just by looking at him, you can tell he’s not much of a fighter!”
Hearing this, Cheng Ting’s face brightened even more, his gaze towards Zhao Wei also softened—soone he was usually sowhat discontented with now seed pretty decent.
“You hound, flattery is your strong suit, huh!”
Hao Jian suddenly sneered, looking at Cheng Ting, his eyes slightly cold: “If there’s no issue, I don’t want to hear more nonsense from you and your subordinates. I’ve already said I have other matters.”
“Oh?”
Cheng Ting sneered suddenly, stretched out his hand, and snorted coldly: “Guardians! All of you, co here!”
“Boom!”
With Cheng Ting’s words, a surge of shouting erupted inside the venue, then it was visible that various n in different colored outfits suddenly rushed out from corners.
Counting them carefully, there were around fifty or sixty!
These people were all bodyguards for the venue, though called bodyguards, they could be considered boxers too, since they were all under Cheng Ting’s command and signed under him!
These were all carefully selected by him, and even with Zhao Wei’s strength, he might easily handle one or two, but dealing with more than five would be a narrow victory, and if exceeding five, defeat was inevitable.
There were roughly a hundred people guarding the venue, mostly distributed across corners and even the audience seats, just to prevent fights and also to monitor if any guests were secretly filming.
Now, Cheng Ting had almost all his n called out, showing just how angry he was. Even his secretary and two Boxing Kings, upon seeing so many people co out, had their expressions subtly change.
But Zhao Wei and Secretary Zhong revealed cold smiles; they didn’t believe in such a siege, the person could remain unhard!
Not far from Cliff, seeing so many people with such a fierce montum, his expression changed several tis, ultimately shaking his head, deciding not to interfere, even if Hao Jian would take him as a disciple, he wouldn’t act.
Moreover, Hao Jian had already rejected him, so not kicking soone when they’re down was already a favor!
This kid is in trouble.
Yu Hu shook his head discreetly, he didn’t know Hao Jian nor did he have the devotion of Secretary Zhong for Cheng Ting, he was just a rcenary, so he wasn’t much bothered by Hao Jian’s words.
The spectators staying to watch the commotion, upon seeing the situation dramatically change in the arena, were as excited as receiving a shot of adrenaline; such scenes were rare and hard to catch in everyday life!
At the sa ti, in the audience waiting for Hao Jian’s return, Lin Qingxue and others, upon seeing so many bodyguards appear and surround Hao Jian, each had a face full of panic.
Lin Qingxue was even more anxious, yelling at Hao Jian. The shout spread out: “Hao Jian, be careful!”
The sound slowly traveled, but as the distance increased, coupled with the noise, by the ti it reached Hao Jian, it was already very quiet.
But it didn’t affect so people’s hearing.
“Hao Jian?!”
These two words left Yu Hu a bit puzzled, but then his face suddenly changed drastically!
