Chapter 1155: Chapter 1201: Scram!

"Fuck it, I’ll just quit!" That guy named Wang Tao was also being stubborn at this point.

The receptionist girl quickly grabbed his arm and whispered, "Little Tao, don’t be impulsive, if we lose our jobs, how are we going to pay our mortgage?"

Wang Tao’s face instantly changed, his confidence deflated. He and the receptionist girl were a couple; they had registered for marriage and taken out a loan together to buy a house. After paying the mortgage every month, they barely had any savings left. Now, if they lost their jobs and couldn’t find new ones in time, the mortgage would suffocate them.

"Just why are you getting so worked up? I haven’t done anything to her. It’s just a joke, isn’t it? I haven’t actually laid a finger on her, heh heh." At this moment, Li Xuehai shamelessly burst out laughing.

"Li Xuehai, have you had enough?" A middle-aged man approached, rage written all over his face.

Li Xuehai looked at the middle-aged man and said with a sardonic tone, "Whoa, Manager Chen, what’s the problem? I’m just joking with colleagues for fun, livening up the company atmosphere."

"Li Xuehai, this is a workplace, where everyone comes to work. What you’re doing is completely disrupting everyone’s normal work. I warn you, if you continue this nonsense, I will definitely report you to the higher-ups again."

Li Xuehai scoffed disdainfully, "And what good will your report do? This company belongs to my brother-in-law, I can do whatever I want."

"You... you..." Manager Chen shuddered with anger.

"What’s with you, you? Listen here, Manager Chen, you better not trouble me. You’re no spring chicken; being a manager ain’t easy. If you lose your job, it won’t be easy to provide for your wife and kids."

Li Xuehai, growing even more smug, said, "Let me tell you all, my brother-in-law already told me that he just wants me to gain some experience for now. Later on, he’s going to give me a position, and he might even hand over the company to me. By then, you’ll all be my subordinates. It would be wise to just do as I say, haha..."

Everyone in the company was now extremely angry, but they were all too afraid to speak out. Li Yifei’s face was particularly ugly. Even though he knew Li Xuehai was messing around here, he never imagined Li Xuehai could cause such a scene. At this moment, he stepped forward, eager to see what else Li Xuehai would say.

But his arm was held back by someone; it was that salesman, Hu Rui, who whispered, "What are you going to do?"

"Hmph, if you all don’t dare to curse him, I will," Li Yifei said in a low voice.

Hu Rui was startled and quickly replied, "Hey, please don’t make trouble. If you provoke him, I might as well not even work here anymore."

"Hmph, he’s not capable of causing real trouble; I’ll kick him out of the company in no time."

"Kick him out? You’ve got to be joking. His sister is the wife of our company’s president. No one dares to mess with him. Just don’t stir up more trouble for us. He’s like a donkey, the more you provoke him, the more spirited he gets. If no one pays him any attention, he’ll calm down after a while."

"That’s not okay either. Such a person is an absolute disaster in the company. I can’t let the company be destroyed like this."

"Man, who the hell are you, thinking you can kick him out?" Hu Rui looked at Li Yifei skeptically.

Li Yifei just smiled faintly and said, "I’m not that old yet."

"That’s just my catchphrase, no other meaning. Seriously, what’s your role here? You’re not one of his men, are you?" Hu Rui eyed Li Yifei warily.

Li Yifei snorted, "I do have a bit of a relationship with him." Saying that, he shook off Hu Rui’s hand and strode forward, shouting, "Li Xuehai, you’ve got a lot of nerve."

"Damn it, who’s talking about me? Who dares to speak about me?" Li Xuehai didn’t have much contact with Li Yifei and couldn’t recognize his voice. When he heard someone talking about him, he immediately cursed out angrily.

All the employees scattered in surprise at that moment, all looking toward the person who dared to directly challenge Li Xuehai.

But before they could clearly see who it was, a dark figure suddenly leapt in front of Li Xuehai. Then there was a crisp snap—a slap echoed as Li Xuehai staggered, having been slapped squarely across the face by that person.

This shocked everyone present. Who was this? Who had the audacity to slap Li Xuehai across the face? Now they had truly stirred up a hornet’s nest. Not only was that person going to be dealt with, but it might also implicate the rest of the company’s staff. Everyone’s expression turned extremely sour; all they could do now was wait and see how Li Xuehai would respond.

Everyone thought that Li Xuehai would surely make a fuss at this time, but after being slapped, his face showed only a trace of anger at first, but then immediately a look of extreme terror.

This stunned everyone. Li Xuehai had never been afraid of anyone in the company before. Who on earth was this person that could scare Li Xuehai so much?

"Br-brother-in-law, why...why are you here?" Li Xuehai stammered, looking at Li Yifei, completely devoid of confidence, panic written all over his face.

"Brother-in-law?" When these two words reached everyone’s ears, they were all inexplicably shocked, because these words were always on Li Xuehai’s lips whenever he appeared, and it was because of these words that no one in the company could do anything about him. Now that the actual brother-in-law had appeared.

"Humph, you still remember me?" Li Yifei asked coldly.

"This... brother-in-law, you are indeed my real brother-in-law, how could I not know? I just didn’t recognize your voice just now, so I spoke nonsense. Please don’t take it to heart, brother-in-law. Why have you come here? Please, come inside, let me make you some tea." Li Xuehai was all smiles, trying to ingratiate himself, yet his heart was pounding. He had no idea whether Li Yifei’s slap was because of his curse words or because of everything he was doing here.

"You’re really something. I sent you to the company to get some experience, but you’ve turned my company into a total mess. If I hadn’t come, I’m afraid it would take only a few days before you’d run it into the ground."

"No...no, I really am working hard here. I’m... I’m just learning to lead, so it’s normal to scold them a bit, right?"

"Bastard!" Li Yifei glared at him.

Li Xuehai shivered with fright at Li Yifei’s shout, with a pained expression he said, "Brother-in-law! I was wrong! I won’t act recklessly ever again, please don’t be angry, I beg you not to be angry."

"Humph, I can’t be bothered to stay mad at you. When you came here, I told you clearly: practice well here. But is this the way you practice? I see you’re just not cut out for this, pack up your things and leave right away."

"Ah, brother-in-law, where do you want me to go?"

"Go wherever you want, I can’t afford to employ a ’master’ like you."

"Brother-in-law... you can’t just kick me out. I just made a small mistake, can’t I change?"

"Get out!" Li Yifei suddenly roared, his eyes flashing coldly.

Li Xuehai had a deep memory of that kind of glance. That one time at home when he beat up that guy from the county to a pulp, Li Yifei was really on fire. If he provoked him again now, he’d likely get beaten up. Hurriedly he said, "Brother-in-law, I’ll leave, I’ll leave," and then he dashed out in a very sorry state.

The boy thought he had a good plan. Li Xinyue was now Li Yifei’s woman, making him Li Yifei’s brother-in-law. No matter what, Li Yifei couldn’t do much to him. Later, he could just let his sister speak to Li Yifei, and he wouldn’t have any problems – these people are just employees after all, how could they compare to him, the brother-in-law.

With Li Xuehai gone, the employees in the company looked at each other with no one speaking out. For them, seeing someone from the head office was rare, let alone expecting the President Li to come here.

"President Li!" Manager Chen had at least seen Li Yifei before, and seeing Li Yifei berate Li Xuehai out of the office, he quickly approached Li Yifei, looking uneasy.

Li Yifei nodded, he didn’t have much impression of this Manager Chen. After all, the company was too small for Li Yifei to pay any attention to. He said, "To all employees, I am here to apologize. Li Xuehai was assigned here by me. He made you all suffer a lot of grievances, and I also bear an undeniable responsibility."

Everyone was still looking at Li Yifei, yet no one spoke. They had no idea what was going on in the mind of the president—after all, Li Xuehai is the brother-in-law, and they are outsiders.

"I hereby promise that Li Xuehai will no longer be in this company. You all can work peacefully from now on. In our company, everything is regulated. It doesn’t matter who the person is, not to mention my brother-in-law; even if my own father came here, if he doesn’t follow the company’s regulations, it won’t be tolerated. As long as you comply with the regulations, you can question anyone, and the company will handle it impartially without any bias. Moreover, as long as you have the ability, your talents won’t be buried in the company. As you know, our company is expanding aggressively. Talented individuals can work in other departments or branches. I hope everyone works hard to become pillars of the company soon."

The room was still quiet, then someone started clapping, followed by thunderous applause. Li Yifei’s attitude not only released the pent-up frustration of these past days but also gave them hope.

Li Yifei gestured for silence, and everyone quieted down. He then addressed Wang Tao and the receptionist, "I apologize once again for the trouble you have been through just now, and I will also provide some financial compensation. I hope you can forgive me."

"President Li... we...thank you, President Li!" Both of them were too excited and almost at a loss for words. They had never imagined that a president like Li Yifei would ever apologize to them—his reputation in this small company suddenly skyrocketed to a great height.
