“You...... you......” The manager was so angry that his whole face turned green.
Ever since he became a manager, everyone had flattered and fawned over him with great deference. No one had ever pointed at his nose and scolded him before, let alone a subordinate employee. How could he not be angry?
Su Ningxi imitated his way of speaking, “You...... you...... what's with you? Isn't what I said right?”
The manager exploded with rage and cursed loudly, “Get lost this instant and never appear before my eyes again.”
Su Ningxi’s temper flared up. She took off her work badge around her neck and flung it in the manager's face, “Fine, I'm leaving! I don't even want this job anymore!”
“Give me my wages.” She calculated that with working two extra shifts today and her commission, she should have earned over eight hundred yuan.
The manager said, “You still have the cheek to ask for wages? You have offended Master Huo. If he pursues this matter, the entire club will be ruined along with you. And you damaged property while on duty. You should be thankful you're not paying compensation.”
“......”
In the end, Su Ningxi was fired without question and didn't get a single cent.
She was extremely depressed. She hadn't expected to lose the job she'd finally found with great difficulty. She didn't seem to have done anything wrong. How could she have such terrible luck these past two days? Not only did she almost lose her chastity, but she also lost her job. Su Ningxi blamed all her grievances on Huo Yuchen.
When it rains, it pours. The news that she spent a night with Huo Yuchen in the presidential suite at the Meilan Club exploded online.

......
All kinds of sensational headlines appeared in the hot search rankings. The content was illustrated in vivid detail, not only with pictures but also videos.
The video first showed Huo Yuchen entering the presidential suite. Not long after, Su Ningxi appeared, looking around furtively before going inside. She didn't come out until the next morning after Huo Yuchen left first. The key point was that Su Ningxi had changed into a different outfit. It was hard not to let the imagination run wild.
Most of the comments felt sorry for Huo Yuchen. Such a handsome man had been ruined by a mere server.
Although only Su Ningxi's back and side profile were visible, not revealing her looks at all, based solely on her status as a server, netizens felt she was unworthy of Huo Yuchen. They scolded her as a toad lusting after a swan.
Huo Yuchen was already a god-like figure in Beijing. Now that he was caught spending a passionate night with a Meilan female server, such explosive news quickly topped the hot search rankings that day.
At Huo Group Headquarters on the 29th floor, Huo Yuchen stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows holding a cigarette, exuding an unapproachable aura. Veiled in smoke, his deep dark eyes were inscrutable.
“Knock knock.”
“Come in.” Hearing the knock, Huo Yuchen stubbed out his cigarette and uttered coldly.
Assistant Liu entered and reported, “Mr. Huo, I've investigated clearly. It was Huo Xuan who bribed a part-time college student working at Meilan. He had originally found a woman with AIDS, but didn't expect that server called Su Ningxi to happen to walk in at that moment, so...”
As he spoke, Assistant Liu’s voice grew quieter and quieter, because the dangerous aura emanating from Huo Yuchen made him apprehensive.
When he heard the name Huo Xuan, he was not very surprised, as if he had guessed it all along.
Although he had offended many people in the business field, no one yet dared provoke him.
His expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot. His deep dark eyes glinted with strands of cold light.
“It seems he didn't learn his lesson when I broke his leg before. Since he's asking for death, I'll grant it. Send what you have to Bureau Chief Feng.”
Assistant Liu was stunned for a moment, then nodded in acquiescence.
“Yes.”
In his heart, he silently mourned for Huo Xuan. In the past, he had not dared to openly play tricks under Mr. Huo's nose, but it seemed Huo Xuan had truly angered him this time.
Huo Yuchen glanced at his watch and said coldly, “Inform the PR department. They have ten more minutes to take this off the hot search rankings, or they will face the consequences.”
“Yes.”
After Assistant Liu left,
Huo Yuchen then called Sun Yiran.
“Ah Chen, what a coincidence! I was just about to call you, didn't expect you would call me first.”
“Is that so?” Huo Yuchen clearly didn't believe it. He understood his childhood friend well. With this kind of incident happening, Sun Yiran was probably hiding from him already, let alone thinking of actively calling him. Hmph......
On the other end, Sun Yiran spoke guiltily, “Yeah! Don't worry, I've investigated everything clearly. The one who drugged and photographed you was a college student with a part-time job at Meilan. Somehow he got close with Huo Xuan. I've handed him over to the police already.”
As the person in charge of Meilan, Sun Yiran knew early on that Huo Yuchen would seek him out over this incident at his territory. He had silently repeated these lines to himself several times already.
After listening, Huo Yuchen felt no ripple in his heart at all. He directly said, “The Jingcheng project is about to launch. Go take charge of it.”
“What? You......”
Before Sun Yiran could say anything more, Huo Yuchen ruthlessly hung up the phone.
He picked up the documents on the table and entered the conference room. Due to the online news, he couldn't avoid being criticized by several major shareholders.
But owing to the powerful aura emanating from Huo Yuchen, no one spoke.
Huo Zhidong signalled to Yang Haijun, one of the shareholders sitting opposite him. Yang Haijun took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Huo, today's news has severely impacted the company's stock price. Please provide an explanation to everyone.”
The shareholders were divided into two camps, one supporting Huo Zhidong of the Huo family main branch, the other supporting Huo Yuchen. Several more remained neutral.
Yang Haijun belonged to Huo Zhidong's faction.
Huo Yuchen swept his sharp gaze towards him and asked coldly, “Explanation? What kind of explanation do you need?”
Ahem, Yang Haijun cleared his throat and steeled himself to say, “The company's stock is dropping sharply now. To cut losses in time, the only method is for you to resign from the board and find a competent person to take over your work.”
Silence filled the conference room. Yang Haijun's heart thumped wildly. He didn't even dare look in Huo Yuchen's direction.
“Is this what you all think?” Suddenly, Huo Yuchen glanced at everyone present.
The people exchanged looks with each other, some even whispered in discussion.
“Since everyone hasn't made up their minds yet, let's talk again when you have. Meeting adjourned.” Huo Yuchen made a gesture as if to get up and leave.
Those shareholders following Huo Zhidong panicked upon hearing this. Delaying would waste precious money! They couldn't afford to wait.
In contrast, those following Huo Yuchen remained much calmer. They had always believed in Huo Yuchen's abilities, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen to follow him.
Those on Huo Zhidong's side all looked to him pleadingly for help.
