Because Su Qin didn't know that Hao Jian and Tie Shan were acquainted, she thought Tie Shan's group had really come to apprehend Hao Jian.
The nearly ten thousand yuan deposit could only end up as a wasted effort, gone never to return.
Seeing Heigui counting the money while leaving, Su Qin's mouth curled into a vicious smile:
"Hao Jian, I told you, I'd make you pay the price, and I will! Just wait to spend the rest of your life behind bars!"
"Holy shit, dude, I gotta say you're freakin' awesome, even daring to mess with that vixen. Aren't you afraid she'll swallow you whole?" Inside the elevator, Tie Shan released Hao Jian, and at the same time, threw him a cigarette.
Hao Jian caught the cigarette and lit it before speaking slowly, "Scared? Her eat me? Man, I could have her begging to get out of bed for days!"
"How did you guys start this fight?" Tie Shan asked curiously.
Then, Hao Jian repeated the events of the morning, leaving Tie Shan completely flabbergasted.
"Damn, to talk to Su Qin like that, you're the first one," said Tie Shan, giving Hao Jian a thumbs up.
"Damn it, how was I supposed to know she was that Su Qin you were talking about? The moment she called, she was so arrogant—anyone would be annoyed."
It was Su Qin who had the bad attitude first; it had nothing to do with him.
"So you publicly exposed her flaws and took advantage of her, and that made her happy?" Tie Shan snickered maliciously, this bastard clearly had the upper hand yet still played innocent.
"That's none of my concern, but I sure felt great," said Hao Jian.
Then, seeing that Heigui was still facing away from them, silent, he gave him a push:
"Gone mute, eh? Why so quiet?"
"Stop it, I'm counting money," Heigui replied irritably, focussing on the counting.
"Damn, where did you get all that money?" Tie Shan also noticed the thick stack of cash in Heigui's hands and asked in surprise.
"No shit, it was Su Qin who gave it to me. She asked me to beat Hao Jian into a cripple and deliver him to the police station. I thought, 'Why not make an easy buck?' So I took it."
Heigui laughed; he had counted it all—it was exactly nine thousand yuan.
"That woman is really vicious," Hao Jian cursed and then said:
"Cut the crap, let's split the spoils. Everyone here gets a share."
Then, the three of them divided it equally—three thousand yuan each, pocketing it.
Tie Shan laughed heartily, "What do you think Su Qin's face would look like if she knew we were in this together?"
"Don't know, but I bet it would be quite a sight."
Hao Jian could almost picture Su Qin's expression if she saw him showing up at the company unharmed the next day—she'd probably go mad.
"But what if she complains to the president and gets you fired?"
Tie Shan started to worry. If that happened, Hao Jian might indeed have to hit the road.
"Don't worry, the president won't fire me," Hao Jian said confidently. He chuckled to himself. Would that girl dare?
"What makes you so sure?" both Tie Shan and Heigui were stunned.
Hao Jian sighed and said:
"Didn't I tell you guys before? The president is my wife. If I say go left, she wouldn't dare go right! If I say move forward, she wouldn't dare step back! Would she dare fire me?"
Heigui and Tie Shan glanced at Hao Jian, their disdain clearly visible in their eyes.
"Fuck, what's with those looks?"
"Why don't we keep these nine thousand yuan and get him a psychiatrist? I suspect he's delusional, and this can't go on."
"Fuck off, you motherfucker," Hao Jian cursed without any curiosity.
"Makes sense." Heigui and Tie Shan nodded at the same time.
Because the act had to be complete, they naturally had to bring Hao Jian back to the security department.
But they hadn't expected Boss Liang to also be in the security department. When he saw Hao Jian walk in, he immediately huffed in displeasure.
Hao Jian acted as if he hadn't seen him and sat down on the sofa in the security department, picked up the ancient Nokia, and started the only game available, Snake!
Seeing that Boss Liang was there, Heigui and the others didn't dare to chat with Hao Jian and pretended to be busy with their own things, heads bowed.
"Loafing around all day at the company, do you really have that much free time? The company's money isn't for supporting useless people like you!"
Boss Liang waited for a while and, realizing that Hao Jian wasn't leaving, immediately couldn't restrain himself and scolded.
Hao Jian put down his phone, glanced at Boss Liang, and spat out, "What's it to you?"
Then he carefully lowered his head to play with his phone, thinking to himself: Damn busybody, this Liang really is a pain in the ass, must he be riled up daily to feel comfortable?
Heigui and the others were also amused by Hao Jian's sharp remark.
"It's your business if you loaf around, but don't disturb my employees while they work!" Boss Liang said, his gaze intense and his face full of fury.
This bastard had disrespected him time and again, and his patience had already reached its limit.
"Tch," Hao Jian clicked his tongue, his face already showing impatience.
He was just sitting there doing nothing, yet he was accused of disturbing the work. Was this deliberately looking for trouble?
"What, did I say something wrong? Aren't you always loafing around? I heard the president assigned you to the logistics department. If you aren't staying there like you're supposed to, why are you wandering into my territory? Is this a place where you should be?"
Boss Liang said rudely, his eyes narrowed into slits, filled with mockery.
Hao Jian didn't speak but put the cigarette in his mouth out in the ashtray, then suddenly grabbed the ashtray and hurled it toward Boss Liang.
The ashtray shattered against the wall, instantly breaking into pieces.
Boss Liang watched Hao Jian in shock, not expecting him to suddenly lash out like that. If he hadn't dodged quickly a moment ago, his head would probably be split open by now.
Even so, a shard of glass still managed to leave a bloodstain near the corner of his eye.
Tie Shan and the others were already stunned.
But Hao Jian appeared nonchalant as he said:
"That 'tch' just now was a warning to you, telling you not to create problems out of nothing, but it seems you completely misunderstood my intention. Therefore, I have to make a louder statement so you get it."
Hao Jian's expression gradually turned darker:
"I know you're at your limit with me, and similarly, my patience with you has reached its limit as well. So, right now, it's best if neither of us speak to avoid any uncontrollable outcomes. What do you think?"
