Bab 29: He Was Really Asking For It
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Because of what had just happened and the recent rumors, everyone in the company hall was very interested in Jiang Feng. Even though some of them were not familiar with this newcomer, who had only been there for half a year, this did not affect them at all. They still ridiculed and insulted Jiang Feng behind his back.
"I really don't understand. What's in this kid's head? He actually dared to invest in Bitcoin?!"
"Investing in the financial industry is so hard, and he's just a guy who's still wet behind the ears. What a joke!"
"Haha, maybe he wanted to gamble on turning a bicycle into a motorcycle. Unfortunately, he lost everything this time."
"He even went to the boss's office now. He's really asking for it. It's hilarious!"
Many colleagues were discussing in low voices at their work stations. Their eyes were filled with mockery, and they kept treating Jiang Feng's "scandal" as a joke! In the back of the company, a few managers were sitting at their work stations, smoking cigarettes and chatting idly. How could boring work be compared to gossiping?
"Old Zhu, this kid went directly to the boss without looking for you today. He overstepped his authority. The boss must scold him to death!" One of the managers glanced at Zhu Hongda beside him and spoke with a smile.
"Hehe, this kind of trash deserves to be scolded. He deserves to be scolded really badly," Zhu Hongda said with a sneer.
"The kid's investment failed. Could he have gone to borrow money from the boss? He hasn't come out yet."
"Hahaha, he is so fair and clean. Don't tell me he went there to sell his butt. That's so funny."
"Hahahaha, be careful, kid, or you'll get beaten up by Brother Dong If you talk nonsense!"
The few of them chatted and laughed. They didn't take Jiang Feng seriously at all. In the entire company, most people scoffed at Jiang Feng. Many people were looking forward to Jiang Feng's miserable end and wanted to see him get scolded and kicked out of the office by the boss. They even wanted Jiang Feng to be directly fired so that the company would gain a competitive edge! Many people were chatting and working while glancing at the boss' office from time to time.
...
In the manager's office, Zhu Hongda sat and chatted with several other managers without really saying much. Meanwhile, his mind was brewing with thoughts of how to get back at Jiang Feng. Last night at the hotel, he had wanted to say a lot of things and stand up for Yu Jia, but Jiang Feng had actually privately insulted him and completely exploded.
This morning, he had come over with a grudge and had directly humiliated Jiang Feng in front of everyone. He had said how embarrassing the failure of his investment had been, including all kinds of insults and taunts. Finally, he'd even hinted that everyone was targeting Jiang Feng, making it impossible for him to survive in this company. That was why everyone had made a scene when Jiang Feng had gone to work in the morning.
These colleagues of his had completely revealed their dark side today, which made Zhu Hongda quite happy. But this was far from enough. He still had to properly punish Jiang Feng to vent his anger. If his boss fired him today, it would be fine. But if he didn't, he would suffer!
As Zhu Hongda thought, his gaze turned to the boss' office, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling up into a sneer. However, he had also felt something unusual in the past few days. His boss, Zhang Qidong, was probably in some kind of trouble. He had been silent lately and busy with private matters, but he was actually quite happy. After all, Zhang Qidong was upset. If Jiang Feng went in now, he would be courting death!
...
At the same time, in the CEO's office, the situation was completely different from what everyone outside thought. Zhang Qidong greeted Jiang Feng with a smile on his face.
"Brother Jiang, come, have a cup of tea. This is my most treasured brew. Try it, it will definitely taste good!" His originally haggard expression was now full of smiles.
He, a man who had always idled around and enjoyed himself, was now keeping busy in the office. He poured tea for Jiang Feng, who was sitting on the boss' chair, and was extremely attentive! If finance director Song Yaozhong were to see this scene, he would definitely be completely stunned. He had been with Zhang Qidong for so many years, but he had never seen Zhang Qidong serve anyone so well!
"Brother Jiang, do you smoke? This is an out-of-print Marlboro I brought from my travels." Zhang Qidong had just put down the tea when he immediately took out a pack of white cigarettes from under the table and spoke to Jiang Feng with a smile. At the same time, he took a lighter out of his pocket and placed it in front of Jiang Feng. This kind of attentiveness seemed to be a little flattering. However, he was afraid that he would not be able to entertain Jiang Feng properly and would cause Jiang Feng to stand up and leave.
Jiang Feng looked at the busy Zhang Qidong and waved his hand to stop him. He did not care about these things at all. He had come to discuss business, not to drink tea and smoke.
Upon seeing Jiang Feng like this, Zhang Qidong changed his mind in a second. He immediately stopped and looked at Jiang Feng with a serious face.
"President Zhang, what else do you have to say about selling the company?" Jiang Feng said slowly after he took a sip of tea.
Just now, he had already explained everything to Zhang Qidong. Therefore, he was now prepared to buy the company. Zhang Qidong had just become extremely attentive and started treating Jiang Feng as his savior!
The moment he heard Jiang Feng's question, his expression became solemn. After stroking his chin and thinking for a few seconds, a look of determination filled his eyes. Then, he looked at Jiang Feng and said, "Brother Jiang, to be honest, I am very grateful that you want to take over the company at this time.
"I have also explained the debt and investment process to you clearly. Since you are willing to take this risk, then what I want to say is very simple!
"As long as I can deal with the bankruptcy of the company, I don't want anything. All the shares will be yours!
"As long as I can leave cleanly and safely, I'll be satisfied to see the debt go!" Zhang Qidong said, the sincerity in his eyes obvious. All these years, he had accumulated some savings, all under his wife's name, just in case. He had bought a house and a car for his family, which also served as a backup plan for his retirement.
Although he couldn't give up this company that he had spent more than ten years to build, given the circumstances, it was already great that he could leave in one piece! He didn't want to be greedy and ask for anything else! Transferring 100% of the shares and debt to Jiang Feng was his best option! He just said that he would draw up a temporary contract!
