Chapter 21 : How’s that? Isn’t he beautiful!

══════════════════

The colleagues all knew that Xu Zhun was telling the truth. These were the words they usually wanted to say but didn’t dare to say.

Zhou Fuming was a veteran employee of the company and often instructed his colleagues to do this and that for him during the week. He was very fast when it came to taking credit, and when he made a mistake, he would dump the fault on others.

All his colleagues resented him, but they dared not speak out in anger.

Today, Xu Zhun’s words were a big shock.

The colleagues were quiet, waiting to see if they could laugh.

Zhou Fuming could not have imagined that Xu Zhun would be so disrespectful to him. He turned blue and pointed at Xu Zhun, scolding him, “What’s wrong with colleagues helping each other out? Do you have to make use of the issue? Since you’ve put it so harshly! I don’t have to think about your face either. You got the contract by selling your ass on your own, do you have the nerve to talk about me? Heh! I’d forgotten that. You’ve got a lot of nerve! Shameless! Simply a cancer to the company.”

Xu Zhun was angry, but he didn’t start shouting. Zhou Fuming was barking around like a mad dog and he wasn’t going to jump over and snap at him as well.

After all, a dog bites a person because it is a dog, while a person can only hit a dog not bite it. (Note: No pls don’t hit your dogs no matter how naughty they are lol)

This is the difference between a human and a beast.

Xu Zhun said without hurrying, “Did you ever see that I took the contract by such means?”

Zhou Fuming snorted out a laugh, “Do I still need to see? How much of a wanker you are all day, don’t you know yourself?”

“No matter how wild you think I am, I’m single and it’s normal for me to have friends and fall in love. Rather, Brother Zhou, do you have proof that I have an improper relationship with a client?” Xu Zhun’s words left Zhou Fuming speechless.

He was making it seem like he was just imagining things out of the blue.

“You …… How could you sign these contracts if you didn’t do it through improper means?” Zhou Fuming began to grasp at Xu Zhun’s contract snatching, “I negotiated the contracts for Shengxin, so who are you to snatch them? If you didn’t have an improper relationship with Manager Qi, why would he give you the contract?”

Xu Zhun opened his mobile phone and played out the video he had recorded in advance.

Manager Qi’s figure appeared in the screen, his expression filled with righteous emotion as he complained, “Manager Xu, it’s my fault! I’m not right! I shouldn’t have insulted you! But it was all Zhou Fuming who sowed discord between us. He said that you stole his contract and that you had an indiscreet personal life and that all the contracts were obtained through improper means. So I had a preconceived notion that you …… This really has nothing to do with me, and I was also used and deceived!”

Hearing Manager Qi’s words, Zhou Fuming’s face instantly turned pale.

Their manager came out of the office, he had just finished the call between him and He Tianming.

Learning about the things Zhou Fuming had done, the manager was on fire. He could never have imagined that Zhou Fuming would do such an immoral thing. He repeatedly apologised to He Tianming before finally calming him down.

The manager promised to fire Zhou Fuming and punish him.

“Shut up! What have you done yourself, don’t you have any idea in your heart?”

The manager pointed at Zhou Fuming and scolded him, “You’ve disgraced yourself to Shengxin Company. Mr. He called me just now and said that if this matter is not dealt with properly, he will cancel the contract with our company. Isn’t it good to compete through proper means? Why do you have to do it the wrong way?”

Zhou Fuming’s head hung very low, not daring to argue a word.

It was useless for him to say anything now, after all, Xu Zhun had the evidence in his hand.

“Zhou Fuming, you will go to the treasury now to settle your wages. The company won’t keep people like you who are not right-minded.”

The manager’s words made Zhou Fuming no longer have the arrogance he had just now: “Manager, you give me a chance. I really know I’m wrong!”

“I’m giving you a chance, but who’ s giving me a chance! You’ve offended Mr. He this time, and there is no industry banning you, so you can just enjoy yourself!”

The manager waved off Zhou Fuming and said coldly, “Go through the departure procedures immediately.”

He looked at Xu Zhun and put on a smiling face, “Xu Zhun, come to my office. I have something to say to you!”

Xu Zhun followed the manager into the office.

Zhou Fuming looked at the two departing figures, his fists clenched tightly, and a resentful light flashed under his eyes.

After Zhou Fuming’s termination, Xu Zhun’s life in the company was much better.

His colleagues did not talk about him to his face anymore and he did not care what they said behind his back.

His main task now was to earn money and then try to survive.

With the contract from Shengxin, Xu Zhun’s commission was much more generous.

Perhaps because of his better performance, he was able to take on further orders afterwards without any problems. In addition, Xu Zhun was serious and responsible about his work, and he had a good reputation in terms of clients. Some of his clients would also refer contracts to him.

Xu Zhun’s work became busy and his standard of living improved so much that he had money to buy medicine.

Although the medicines he bought were domestically produced and not as effective as the imported ones, his condition was under control.

During this period, He Chengyang did not call him and seemed to have left him behind.

In the dead of night, Xu Zhun would occasionally think of him and his heart would ache, but he also knew that He Chengyang was just a dream and that he had to wake up one day.

Half a month later, Xu Zhun came out of the office, intending to go to the underground station to take a trip home.

A text message from He Chengyang showed on his phone unannounced.

【8:00 p.m., Silver KTV. Accompany me to meet some friends.】 (Note: If you’ve forgotten, it’s that fancy Karaoke Club where he meets with his shitty friends lol)

Xu Zhun stood in the crowded street, staring at this message on his phone many times.

After a long time, he cursed in his heart, “Xu Zhun, you are so cheap!”

He knew he shouldn’t have gone to see He Chengyang, taking this opportunity to put an end to the relationship between them.

But he couldn’t let go!

He had loved He Chengyang for eight years, and at the end of his life, it was He Chengyang he wanted to be with the most.

Even though he knew that there was someone else in his heart, Xu Zhun still wanted to treat him as his last solace in life.

Xu Zhun went home, changed his clothes and went to the karaoke lounge.

He thought on the way that He Chengyang must have cared for him a little! Otherwise he wouldn’t have brought him out to meet his friends.

When Xu Zhun pushed open the door of the KTV and saw the chaotic scene inside, he knew how naive he was and how silly and stupid some of his thoughts were.

“Yo, who’s this!”

“Good looking!”

“Who ordered MBs here, or did you go to the wrong private room?”

Under the staggering lights, someone poked his hand into Xu Zhun’s face and tried to touch his face.

Xu Zhun tilted his head to avoid it and turned around to leave.

A hand came up and clutched his arm, and He Chengyang’s voice rang out above his head: “What took you so long to get here? Didn’t I tell you to come at eight o’clock? What time is it now? Did you take my words for granted?”

Xu Zhun explained in a low voice: “There’s traffic on the road and it’s rush hour.”

He Chengyang’s expression was ugly as he tugged his arm and pushed him onto the sofa.

“Young Master He, so this is your man.”

“Not bad looking at all!”

“When did you bag it? How come these brothers of yours didn’t know?”

He Chengyang wrapped his arm around Xu Jun’s shoulders and smiled lasciviously, “Been with me for a few months! How’s that? Isn’t he pretty?”

Xu Zhun was really pretty, not too feminine, not too sultry, and clean and good looking.

The few princelings in the private room all stared straight at him.
