Chapter 199 Killing a chicken to scare off the monkeys!?

"W-What are we doing here?" Lin Ruoxi's expression twisted into one of bewilderment as she recognized the surroundings.

A sense of foreboding gnawed at her heart.

Somehow, a sinister premonition loomed in her thoughts.

"My little slave, you don't expect to receive free rations all the time, do you? It's time you start working again!" Zhang Wei playfully tapped her nose, and his words reverberated in Lin Ruoxi's mind.

"Y-You're setting me free?" Tears welled up in her eyes, overwhelmed by a surge of emotions.

Zhang Wei responded with a mysterious smile, intensifying Lin Ruoxi's sense of nostalgia. She quickly wiped her eyes, regaining her composure, and assumed her former self as she prepared to leave the car.

Her transformation back into the stern president was abrupt, but it didn't last for long. In a surprising twist, as they all stepped out of the car, Zhang Wei wrapped his arm around her waist, while his other hand remained firmly holding onto Yu Lei.

"Are we going inside like this?" Yu Lei's question hung in the air, mirrored by a shared look of concern on Lin Ruoxi's face. In no way did it seem like a good idea.

The potential for chaos within the company was undeniable.

What on earth was Zhang Wei thinking?

This wasn't the ancient era where one could openly embrace multiple partners. Did he want to become the talk of the internet?

However, as a dutiful slave, Lin Ruoxi knew better than to voice her concerns needlessly.

Despite her reluctance, she obediently followed Zhang Wei, even as he began to attract numerous curious gazes.

He had become the center of attention, holding onto two top-class beauties.

The sound of heartbroken murmurs reached their ears, but Zhang Wei paid them no mind.

He walked with his head held high, for he hadn't amassed all this power to cower in the shadows.

'Why should these young masters be the only ones allowed to play openly?' he laughed to himself.

While Yu Lei had initially maintained her composure, she began to lose her resolve as whispers and hushed conversations swirled around them.

Some of those conversations were far from flattering, and her fury rose, itching to confront those who dared to utter disparaging words.

Yet, it was Lin Ruoxi who naturally garnered the most attention.

The gaze of everyone in the vicinity seemed to converge on her, their expressions a medley of surprise and intrigue.

"Hey, isn't that Lin Ruoxi? Our president?"

"Yes, it is! And that's Yu Lei, the vice president. But who's that guy with them?"

"Damn! Who is thar guy, how did he managed to score on both the goddesses at the same time!"

"Ugh! The bastard is living his life!"

"I have no idea. He must be someone important to be with both of them like this."

"You think it's some kind of business meeting with an important client?"

"Haha! The only meeting I know that happens when a man grabs the waist of two women is behind the closed doors!"

"Guys, let's be real. This looks more like a romantic outing than a business meeting!"

"Haha! You're right! You think they're here to hire him as a 'relationship consultant'?"

"Shh! Do you want them to hear us and get fired!"

*Click!*

*Click!*

In the midst of the bustling office, one audacious employee decided to seize the moment and discreetly snap photos of the intriguing trio.

As the hum of whispers continued to ripple through the workspace, some employees began to recognize Zhang Wei, whose initial days at the company, thanks to Tang Shen and others who had given him a chance to shine, had left a lasting impression.

Lin Ruoxi and Yu Lei exchanged frowns, their expressions clearly indicating their discomfort with the situation.

The hushed chatter was one thing, but the prospect of these photos, capturing them in such an intimate embrace, potentially going viral on social media, was an entirely different matter.

Unbeknownst to the majority, Zhang Wei had been patiently waiting for this precise moment.

He had been biding his time for a willing scapegoat, and it appeared that a rotund man sporting glasses named Shao Weizhe had stepped up to the plate.

Leaving Yu Lei and Lin Ruoxi to their own devices, Zhang Wei decided to make his move, striding purposefully toward Shao Weizhe, who, in a hurry, attempted to conceal his phone and pretended to be diligently working.

The once-raucous office suddenly fell silent, every employee seemingly engrossed in their computer screens but secretly anticipating the impending spectacle.

Zhang Wei tapped lightly on Shao Weizhe's desk, his action capturing the undivided attention of the onlookers, who were ready for the drama to unfold.

Shao Weizhe, although visibly tense, managed to put on a fa?ade of calmness as he asked, "What do you need?"

"Your phone, hand it over to me," Zhang Wei calmly requested.

Shao Weizhe frowned, surreptitiously picking up his phone from the desk and hiding it behind his back. In a swift move, just as he was concealing the device, *swoosh!* Zhang Wei deftly snatched it from his hand.

"Hey, give that back to me!" Shao Weizhe protested.

"You can't illegally retain my property!" he exclaimed, standing up angrily.

Zhang Wei couldn't help but chuckle. "Which property...?" he asked innocently. Then, with a *crack!* and an impressive display of strength, he crushed Shao Weizhe's phone beyond recognition.

Shao Weizhe shivered, a chill running down his spine. "Y-You! How dare you! I'll call the lawyer on you and your company!"

"You can't harass employees like this!"

In a self-righteous fury, Shao Weizhe began spouting nonsense, much to Lin Ruoxi's dismay. Her face contorted into an expression of disbelief.

She had no idea that Zhang Wei had planned to kill a chicken to deter the monkeys!

*Slap!*

As Shao Weizhe pointed fingers at Zhang Wei, a sudden echoing noise filled the floor, and his vision blurred. "Ah?"

For a moment, Shao Weizhe couldn't comprehend what had happened, until he realized that Zhang Wei had openly slapped him. "Y-You!" He instantly lunged forward, his glasses knocked askew and his vision impaired.

Zhang Wei effortlessly sidestepped the attack, and Shao Weizhe crashed unceremoniously onto the floor.

*Thud!*

The next moment, with a cruel grin, Zhang Wei placed his foot on Shao Weizhe's back, causing him to cry out in pain. "Arghhh!"

The agonizing sound reverberated throughout the room, silencing all other noises, except for a chorus of surprised gasps.

Zhang Wei leaned in, his voice dripping with menace. "You think you can threaten me in my own company ?"

Shao Weizhe, struggling to breathe, gasped out, "I... I'll sue you for assault!"

A sly smirk crept across Zhang Wei's face. "Go ahead. But first, remember, you were the one taking pictures without permission. Who do you think they'll believe?"

Shao Weizhe winced in agony, the realization of his predicament sinking in.

Lin Ruoxi's anxiety was evident as she watched Zhang Wei's aggressive actions unfold, while Yu Lei desperately racked her brain for a way to manage the aftermath.

However, it seemed there was no easy solution.
