Chapter 293 - Public Wrath

The others who did not know the truth were led on, and there was an uproar!

“I heard that Lu Ming Corporation treats its employees especially well, and the salary is twice the market price. That’s why I crossed provinces to come here. Could it be that all of this is just marketing? That’s too disappointing, right? To think that my entire family has a good impression of this company.”

“We haven’t even joined the company and you’re already making things difficult for us. If we really get hired, won’t you treat us as tools? You will squeeze us dry every day by making us work overtime. Just the thought of it makes me feel you’re inhumane. Is it too late for me to regret it now? Such a big company is out of my league!”

“In order to enter Lu Ming Corporation, I rejected a good job that my close friend recommended to me! According to his plan, I would be in charge over there. I wouldn’t have to do any laborious work and would be able to get a salary of more than 10,000 yuan a month. It’s wonderful just thinking about it! Was I out of my mind to come here?

…

Regret and complaints sounded incessantly. The three of them looked at He Xiaopeng smugly. Yue Yier said, “If your boss comes out to apologize to us, we can let bygones be bygones. After all, a leader should be magnanimous. Otherwise, he will either bear the pressure of public opinion or else produce evidence!”

“Apologize? Why should I apologize if I didn’t do anything wrong?”

A young man’s voice suddenly sounded from the back of the crowd. For some reason, the scene suddenly fell silent. Those people curiously made way for him and craned their necks to look at him.

Lu Ming was wearing a simple white sweater and light-colored jeans. From the looks of it, no one would believe that he was the boss of a top 500 company in the world. Instead, he looked like a university student who had yet to graduate. He was filled with vigor and vitality. However, with his aura of a superior, his smile gave people the chills for no reason.

Following closely behind him was a woman who was wearing a business suit and a high ponytail. The light makeup on her face made her look very elegant and intellectual. She was holding a stack of documents in her hand as she stood silently behind her boss, maintaining a safe distance.

Their outstanding looks shocked them. They could not help but have the same thought in their minds. Does Lu Ming Corporation hire people based on their looks? In their impression, this company’s executives often appeared on television or in magazines, and those people were basically not bad-looking. Even if they didn’t rely on their capability, they would still have a smooth-sailing career in the entertainment industry with their looks!

It was not impossible for him to become a popular celebrity. There were even people who thought that this company monopolized all the handsome men and beautiful women from all over China, especially the boss of Lu Ming Corporation, who was extremely outstanding, and his wife.

A few of them stood there. They might even be able to debut in a group because many people on the Internet were fans of this company. There was even a saying that the better the person looked, the higher the position.

Therefore, as expected, the three of them recognized the newcomer.

They looked at each other. Finally, Cui Yantong took a step forward and said, “Are you the boss of Lu Ming Corporation? Is it your style to nitpick? Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have some achievements. Isn’t it because the people support you that you can reach your current heights?”

He paused for a moment and subconsciously looked at the two faces opposite him, especially the woman with the high ponytail. Then he swallowed his saliva and thought to himself, She’s so damn good-looking! This is the first time I’ve known such a beautiful person in this world. I can’t help but feel a little jealous of Lu Ming. He’s simply a winner in life!

“I think you should at least apologize to us, right?”

Seeing this, Lu Ming’s smile became even colder. He said, “Didn’t anyone tell you to look at the person you’re talking to when you’re talking? Aren’t you being too rude by ogling my subordinate? This is my Lu Ming Corporation, not a place for an unpresentable clown like you to behave atrociously!”

The onlookers followed his gaze. As Lu Ming was talking, Cui Yantong was staring at that woman. It was really rude to do such a thing in front of her boss!

Cui Yantong, whose thoughts had been exposed, looked at Lu Ming angrily and said sarcastically, “It seems that Boss Lu doesn’t know how to teach your subordinate well. You accuse us of being spies sent by other companies for no reason. Is this how your Lu Ming Corporation treats guests? And you say that I’m rude!”

“Did I say anything wrong? Weren’t you sent by the Tang family to cause trouble?”

Lu Ming gestured and said, “Don’t you want evidence? Little Su, send the evidence to them so that they can give up completely!”

Wen Yongsu obediently handed over the documents in her hand one by one and said, “Our Eye of the Sky Company has always managed to investigate everything that we want to investigate. After confirmation, the three of you are indeed sent by the Tang family and have received a considerable sum of money from them recently.

Although the person who transferred the money is not surnamed Tang, he’s working for the Tang family! If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.”

The three people, who were originally aggressive, turned pale when they saw the documented evidence. This made those who had doubts about the evidence even more certain of Lu Ming’s explanation. Now, the evidence pointed to the only possibility—these three people were really spies sent by the enemy! And they actually fooled other job applicants to speak up for them.

After realizing that they had been used as cannon fodder, indignant voices immediately came from the crowd. There were even people who raised their hands to push them away.

“Damn it! Isn’t this harming me?! This is a job that I found with great difficulty. If not for the boss’s timely arrival, we would have lost such a good job. We even misunderstood Lu Ming Corporation’s intentions. It’s clearly you three bastards who did wrong! How dare you accuse others!”

“Such motives are really vicious! This job doesn’t require any skills to begin with. If we don’t do it, there are plenty of people who are willing to do it! Moreover, the salary is so high. If we changed our minds and left just now, wouldn’t we have lost a large sum of money?! You’re playing an immoral game. And I have a family to support!”

“You’ve accepted the money, but we don’t have anything! Most of us gave up our stable jobs and rushed over after hearing the name of Lu Ming Corporation! We spent time and effort coming here. Do you really think that the money of ordinary people like us is not money?! This is too much! Boss, these people are slandering the company’s reputation outside. Don’t let them off!”

“I’ll second that! Don’t let them off!”
