Chapter 123 Brother Gets Promotion and Salary Raise, Everyone Envy Him
Shen Yu raised his foot and gently blocked, kicking him away.
"Now you know you were wrong?" Jiang Xinlan said coldly, "What did you say when you made that bet with me? Keep your word."
Jiang Minghui froze, remembering what he had just said. He gritted his teeth, disregarding all pride in order to get Jiang Xinlan to agree.
He slowly lay down on the ground, supporting himself with his hands, rolling like a dog while shouting at the top of his lungs:
"I, Jiang Minghui, am blind! I'm talking nonsense! I, Jiang Minghui, am blind! I'm talking nonsense!"
Seeing his disheveled appearance, no one in the private room laughed.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look Jiang Xinlan in the eye. Those who had joined in the commotion earlier wished they could disappear into the ground.
Even after Jiang Minghui rolled out of the private room and slammed the door shut, the room remained deathly silent.
Everyone fell silent, no one daring to speak.
Chen Fangcao was so frightened that she trembled all over and tried to sneak away, but Jiang Xinlan stopped her.
"Chen Fangcao, don't rush off." Jiang Xinlan looked at her, her eyes sharp as knives.
"Back then, when Li Qianqian spread rumors that I was being kept by an older man, you were the first to join in. You went around telling everyone that you saw me get into an older man's car and that I accepted his designer bag. Have you forgotten all of this?"
Chen Fangcao's legs went weak with fear, and she shook her head repeatedly: "No... it wasn't me... Li Qianqian told me to say it... I don't know anything..."
"You don't know?" Duran stepped forward and said loudly.
"Back then, I saw you tell people in the cafeteria that Jiang Xinlan was a slut, someone an old man used and dumped. You even tore up Jiang Xinlan's textbooks and threw them in the toilet! Have you forgotten all of that?"
With the evidence irrefutable, Chen Fangcao could no longer deny it and covered her face, bursting into tears.
The students around him lowered their heads, their faces showing remorse.
Back then, they were unaware of the truth and joined Chen Fangcao and Li Qianqian in bullying Jiang Xinlan. Now they realize how wrong they were.
Seeing that things were not going well, Zhao Kai tried to sneak away, but Shen Yu stopped him.
"Zhao Kai, don't be in such a hurry to leave." Shen Yu spoke calmly, his voice not loud, but carrying an inexplicable sense of pressure. "You just said that if Zhang Qiang didn't respect you, he could get lost. Now, I think the one who should get lost is you."
"What did you say?" Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Shen Yu, who do you think you are? You think you can just tell me to get lost? I'm a department manager at Lu's Group! Who do you think you are?"
"I'm nothing special." Shen Yu took out his phone and sent Zhao Feng a WeChat message, "But I think Lu's Group doesn't need an employee like you."
Less than two minutes later, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
General Manager Liu of Xinghewan Hotel rushed in, sweating profusely, accompanied by Zhao Feng, the president's assistant from Lu's Group.
Everyone gasped in shock.
Who is Zhao Feng? He's Lu Zongming's most capable assistant, a man whose mere presence in Jiangcheng can shake the city! How could he possibly be at a small class reunion?
Zhao Feng bypassed everyone and strode up to Shen Yu, bowing respectfully: "Mr. Shen, you wanted to see me?"
"Mr. Zhao?!" Zhao Kai's legs went weak with fright. "You...you're here?"
Zhao Feng didn't even glance at him, and said to Shen Yu, "Mr. Shen, President Lu has already given instructions that you can let me know if you need anything."
Shen Yu pointed at Zhao Kai: "This man suppresses his subordinates, steals credit, and shirks responsibility. The Lu family can't keep him. Also, Zhang Qiang is very capable, but he's been suppressed by Zhao Kai all along. I think Zhao Kai's position is very suitable for him."
"Understood." Zhao Feng nodded, then turned to look at Zhao Kai with icy eyes.
"Zhao Kai, effective immediately, you are fired from the Lu Group. President Lu has already notified all internet companies in Jiangcheng that you will never be hired again. You can get out now."
"What?!" Zhao Kai was struck dumb, staggering back several steps, almost falling. "Impossible! President Qin, you must be mistaken! I've worked for Lu's Group for five years! You can't fire me!"
"A mistake?" Zhao Feng sneered. "Mr. Shen is Mr. Lu's savior. Even if he were to make you disappear from Jiangcheng, Mr. Lu wouldn't blink an eye, let alone fire you!"
These words were like a thunderclap, silencing the entire private room.
Everyone looked at Shen Yu, their eyes filled with shock and awe.
They never imagined that Shen Yu was actually Elder Lu's savior! Even Elder Lu treated him with utmost respect!
Zhao Feng then turned to Zhang Qiang and said, "Mr. Zhang Qiang, congratulations. Starting today, you are promoted to East China Regional Manager of Lu's Group, with an annual salary of one million. Report to the company tomorrow, and I will arrange for HR to connect with you."
Zhang Qiang was completely stunned, and the chopsticks in his hand fell onto the table with a clatter.
Wang Hui was also stunned. She unconsciously loosened her grip on Zhang Qiang's arm, her eyes wide open, unable to believe her ears.
A few seconds later, she suddenly grabbed Zhang Qiang's hand, her voice trembling with excitement: "Zhang Qiang! Did you hear that? You've been promoted to manager! A million-dollar annual salary! We don't have to live a life of poverty anymore!"
Zhang Qiang finally reacted, turned to look at Shen Yu, and his eyes instantly reddened. His lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time. Finally, he tightly grasped Shen Yu's hand and choked out:
"Brother... thank you... I... I don't even know what to say..."
