Chapter 63 Conditional Negotiation

  Zhong Xiaofei didn't say a word, calmly watching Yang Tianzeng's furious outburst. When Yang's cane finally stopped pounding the ground and his emotions had slightly subsided, he said blandly, "Chairman, I went to Secretary Wu's office just for normal work. Since we're in the same company, we'll inevitably run into each other. Can't I meet with her?"

  "Of course we can meet, but you stayed in her office for a whole hour, what were you doing? Are you trying to get rid of me?" Yang Tianzeng was almost driven mad.

  Zhong Xiaofei's heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "How did this old guy know I was in Yijie's office for an hour? Does he have eyes and ears everywhere?"

  Zhong Xiaofei pretended to be very afraid, "Chairman, I was wrong! You must not fire me!" But in his heart, he wasn't afraid at all, because he knew that Yang Tianzeng would absolutely not fire him.

  In the power struggle between Yang Tianzeng and Li Sanshi, he is now a very important chess piece. Yang Tianzeng needs him, and Li Sanshi also needs him. Unless Yang Tianzeng is willing to give up his position as chairman, he absolutely dare not make a move against him!

  Yang Tianzeng was just trying to scare him away from Wu Yuje.

  Zhong Xiaofei pretended to be afraid, which was a show of weakness and also a form of self-protection. If Zhong Xiaofei had shown himself to be too strong, he would have definitely aroused Yang Tianzeng's suspicion and unease.

  "What did you do in her office?" Yang Tianzeng bellowed.

  Zhong Xiaofei's mind was racing, he knew this question was crucial, how to answer would determine his future. Obviously, his relationship with Wu Yijie could not be hidden, and it would eventually be discovered by Yang Tianzeng. Even if he denied it today, he couldn't deny it in the future!

  So Zhong Xiaofei decided to confess.

  Not only did he acknowledge his relationship with Wu Yijie, but also made it clear that Wu Yijie was already his woman and no one could take her away from him!

  This will definitely infuriate Yang Tianzeng, and in a fit of rage, Yang Tianzeng might even fire Zhong Xiaofei from TY Company, and everything will be over. Not only will Zhong Xiaofei lose the beauty, but also his job.

  But there is another possibility, that is Yang Tianzeng dare not do anything to Zhong Xiaofei, because the shareholders' meeting is about to be held, in order to keep the chairman's seat at the shareholders' meeting, Yang Tianzeng not only cannot fire Zhong Xiaofei, but also has to reuse Zhong Xiaofei, so that Zhong Xiaofei's light can cover Li Sanshi. As the saying goes, "small tolerance leads to chaos", a veteran of the business world like Yang Tianzeng should understand this principle best.

  Zhong Xiaofei decided to take a gamble, because things would eventually come to light anyway.

  "Chairman, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again... Ah... Yijie and I, we..." Zhong Xiaofei's words were hesitant, but his expression and attitude had already clearly revealed the relationship between him and Wu Yijie. A man and a woman, alone together for an hour, plus his ambiguous attitude now, everything was crystal clear.

  Yang Tianzeng suddenly became furious, and what Zhong Xiaofei did not expect was that an old man would have such great strength. He jumped up, grabbed the high-backed chair that was sitting there, and slammed it to the ground in extreme anger.

  When the chair fell to the ground, the old man grabbed the phone on the table again and slammed it to the ground with force. Bang, bang, bang, bang! Everything within reach was picked up by Yang Tianzeng in a short time and slammed to the ground with force.

  Zhong Xiaofei was startled and worried that the old man would throw something at him, so he instinctively left the sofa and stood in the corner of the wall, keeping a distance from the old man.

  Yang Tianzeng smashed like crazy.

  A loud noise startled Xiao Zhou outside. He rushed in frantically, his face pale. "Chairman? What's going on?"

  Yang Tianzeng panted, gritted his teeth and stared at Zhong Xiaofei, the crutch in his hand raised, shaking as he pointed it at Zhong Xiaofei.

  Zhong Xiaofei's heart sank slowly, from the old man's angry and hateful expression, his calculation was wrong, apparently Yang Tianzeng could not tolerate him and Wu Yijie's affair, anger overwhelmed his rationality, the old man seemed to have disregarded his importance and was ready to punish him.

  Zhong Xiaofei began to regret it, he felt his decision was a bit rash.

  Although Yang Tianzeng and Li Sanshi both valued him, in this struggle for power, he was not indispensable. The two men vying for his support were actually after his stock analysis skills, hoping to use his abilities to help the company make a profit in the short term, so as to gain an advantage at the company's shareholders' meeting.

  But if Yang Tianzeng rashly fires him, Li Sanshi will definitely not help him. With Li Sanshi's cunning, he might even kick him when he's down.

  Now that things have turned out this way, regret is useless. Zhong Xiaofei's face turned bright red as he turned to leave, feeling extremely disheartened.

  "Come back!" Just as Zhong Xiaofei was walking out of the door, Yang Tianzeng suddenly shouted at him.

  Zhong Xiaofei stopped but didn't turn around.

  He knew that Yang Tianzeng regretted his impulsiveness earlier, and his hopes were rekindled. The obscure life suddenly became bright with prospects again.

  "Get out!" These two words were what Yang Tianzeng said to Xiao Zhou who was staring blankly.

  Xiao Zhou quickly retreated and closed the door behind her, her small face pale with fear. It was clear that she had never seen Yang Tianzeng lose his temper so badly before.

  "Sorry, I lost my temper. But you have to understand, Xiaoyi is my daughter, and the love and care I have for her surpasses that of my own eyes. Before you, no man has ever been able to get close to her... But you can tell me the truth, this one thing, it's good, very good!" Yang Tianzeng stood panting behind Zhong Xiaofei, his words shocking him.

  Zhong Xiaofei slowly turned his head, and he saw Yang Tianzeng still with an angry face, a originally old and thin face twisted in anger, but his eyes were very calm. Just after Zhong Xiaofei turned his head, his face also quickly calmed down.

  The old fox is still the old fox, although he's very angry, but he quickly weighs the pros and cons. He knows that now he can't drive Zhong Xiaofei away, if Zhong Xiaofei leaves, who will help him deal with Li Sanshi?

  Zhong Xiaofei felt a sense of relief, but he knew that Yang Tianzeng would not let him off the hook, just as he himself would not let Yang Tianzeng off the hook. For now, however, the two men had a common enemy in Li Sanshi, so the old man was temporarily holding back.

  "Come, sit down, I was too excited just now..." Yang Tianzeng is no longer angry, not only not angry, but also smiled on his face, as if the person who was angry just now was not him.

  Zhong Xiaofei sneered inwardly, but her face showed anxiety and unease, "Chairman, I'm sorry..."

  "It's okay, you're young, and it's hard to resist temptation...” Yang Tianzeng gradually calmed down, his face filled with sadness and helplessness. "But I'm telling you, if you do anything bad to Xiaoyi, I'll die a terrible death! Even if she doesn't kill you, I will!"

  Zhong Xiaofei took a deep breath and nodded hastily, "Believe it!"

  "But I underestimated you, I was too careless," Yang Tianzeng sighed, "I didn't expect that in such a short time, Xiao Yi would fall in love with you recklessly, because she has always been calm and proud, a master of herself, a princess unparalleled, she values her chastity extremely highly, but I was wrong, in front of you, it seems like she doesn't have any rationality or defense at all, the thing she treasures most, was actually taken away by you..." His voice became slightly choked towards the end.
