C14 I Helped Him Resign

After the landlord scolded him about the rent last night, the embarrassment of buying mineral water at the supermarket, and the farce about the parking fee, Lin Fei had realized a serious problem.

He had nothing in his pockets. He was short of cash.

If he did not have cash in his hands, it would be useless even if he had 100 billion worth of assets.

Therefore, he had to make use of the rewards he had on hand to start making profits.

After all, the most practical problem he faced now was eating and drinking. If he did not have enough liquid funds, he was no different from Lin Fei of the past. He was poor!

Real estate was real estate. He needed to convert it into cash.

Eating, refueling, buying clothes, and watching movies all cost cash.

He couldn't possibly bring out a property certificate and give it to the cahier now, could he? He would be regarded as an idiot.

Then how could he use the available resources in his hands to turn them into cash? It was obvious that he could only take two paths.

One was to sell, while the other was to rent.

When he thought up to here, the name of Liu Daming flashed in his mind. He was the real estate agent he met last night in Huangting International Restaurant.

That guy had a kind face and looked honest. Lin Fei felt that he should be a reliable candidate.

Thinking of this, Lin Fei had already formed a rough plan in his mind. However, he was not in a hurry to call Liu Daming. He decided to go to his company first and settle the matter of his resignation.

"Wang Jie, didn't you say that Lin Fei went to the toilet? Where is he now? Is he taking a shit or what?"

In front of the Dahe Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Lin Fei had just walked to the door of the company when he heard the roar of the general manager, Wei Qiang, coming from the direction of the meeting room.

Wang Jie almost buried his head in his pants. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

The other colleagues around him also lowered their heads. They didn't dare to look up at the two people in front of them.

Boss Chen Biao was standing there with the general manager. In addition, their company's performance this month was especially bad. Hence, Chen Biao was in a bad mood, getting irritated at the slightest of things.

Under such circumstances, no one dared to speak. Otherwise, they might really get fired.

'Lin Fei, it's already been half an hour. Why haven't you arrived yet? Don't tell me you're still so stingy as to take the subway? I told you to take a taxi!'

Wang Jie clenched his fists tightly, sweat dripping down his forehead. He was concerned about Lin Fei while scolding the guy in his heart.

Seeing Wang Jie remain silent, Wei Qiang pointed at him and scolded, "How dare you lie in front of President Chen? I think you're just looking to be fired!

"I'll give you three more minutes. If Lin Fei does not come out of the toilet, you will lose your job. Get lost with him!"

Wei Qiang glanced at his watch and gave Wang Jie his last order.

Wang Jie frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

"What should I do?"

Wang Jie was already married. He had parents and children to take care of, so he was now under a lot of pressure.

This job was his life. If he lost it, he would not know what to do in the future. It was already difficult for people like them to eke out a living with their meager salaries.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was so oppressive that it made it difficult for people to breathe.

As time passed, Wang Jie's back was drenched in cold sweat. His clenched fist was burning hot, and his heart was in a mess.

"General Manager Wei, this is not right. It's not a problem for you to fire me when I am late, but you have implicated the innocent Wang Jie. You shouldn't do this, right?"

Just as Wang Jie was imagining his bleak future, Lin Fei walked in from outside the conference room with a calm expression. He threw down the question while staring straight into Wei Qiang's eyes.

Although Lin Fei was usually friendly and easy-going, he was not a person without a temper.

He disliked people bullying his friends the most. Furthermore, Wang Jie was implicated because of him.

All eyes instantly turned to Lin Fei, who was standing at the door of the meeting room. An instant later, all of his colleagues' eyes were filled with shock.

Although none of them dared to speak at the moment, the expressions of amazement and confusion couldn't be hidden from their faces.

"Is this Lin Fei?"

"Why is he so calm?"

"Does he want to be fired?"

"How dare he talk to General Manager Wei like that?"

"He's really domineering, cool, and handsome!"

"Where did he get his confidence from?"

Even Wang Jie stared at him in stunned silence, as if Lin Fei was a stranger to him.

He opened his mouth worriedly. He wanted to ask Lin Fei what was he doing? However, he didn't dare to say anything in the presence of two bigshots of the company.

"You..."

Lin Fei, who was usually subservient to him, actually dared to question Wei Qiang. He didn't give him any face at all. Furthermore, President Chen was watching the whole scene. Wei Qiang was so angry that he couldn't say anything.

He took a deep breath and pointed at Lin Fei with a sneer. "Lin Fei, you're half an hour late, yet you dare to contradict me in front of everyone. President Chen, what do you think we should do about this?"

Wei Qiang turned to seek Chen Biao's opinion, who had been silent the whole time. It was obvious that he wanted to punish Lin Fei.

Chen Biao waved his hand and said expressionlessly, "Lin Fei, you're fired!"

Although Wei Qiang was a general manager, his behavior was despicable, seeking revenge for the slightest misgiving. When he saw that his evil plan had succeeded, he looked at Lin Fei with a proud smile.

"Chen Biao, do you think I want this lousy job? To tell you the truth, I came to the company today to resign anyway!

"I thought we can all get along since I've been an employee here for a long time. Even if I quit, we should maintain a cordial relationship. That's why I came to personally hand in my resignation letter.

"But I was clearly overthinking this. There's no need for you to fire me. I quit!"

The smug smile on Wei Qiang's face had just risen when he heard Lin Fei's biting words. That smile froze on his face.

The other colleagues in the meeting room widened their eyes. They didn't believe that this guy really was Lin Fei. What guts he had!

Wang Jie was also anxious. He rushed out and pulled Lin Fei's arm, whispering in his ears, "Lin Fei, are you crazy?"

However, Lin Fei patted Wang Jie's shoulder and smiled at him. He reassured him with his eyes.

Instead of getting his meaning, Wang Jie was so worried that he was about to cry. How could he relax?

How long did they have to strive in this company before they could reach their current level? How much did they have to struggle to accumulate the resources in their hands?

Only they themselves knew how challenging and tough it was for them to get to where they were today. How could he let Lin Fei give up this job that was considered a high-paying one in Mo City so easily?

Facing Lin Fei who spoke so firmly, Chen Biao was also thoroughly enraged. He could discern that Lin Fei didn't care about the job anymore. Expelling him would no longer have an impact on him. In fact, he couldn't care less.

However, even if he wasn't worried about himself, what about his friend, Wang Jie? He would fire him as well. He would like to see how calm he would be then.

After thinking for a while, Chen Biao looked at Lin Fei and snorted. "Lin Fei, you sure have guts!

"Since you're so capable, take your good brother Wang Jie with you and leave together!"

Wang Jie felt like his mind was going to explode. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning and his world was crumbling apart.

The other staff members in the meeting room all went silent. They all stared at the floor.

They didn't even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would meet a similar fate as those two. Wang Jie even fell to the ground and lost his soul. The atmosphere in the meeting room was extremely depressing.

Only the boss, Chen Biao, and the general manager, Wei Qiang, had a cold and mocking smile adorning their faces.

Chen Biao stared at Lin Fei with scorn. However, since he was the boss, he could not directly ridicule Lin Fei. Otherwise, he would be belittling his esteemed status in front of his employees.

But the meaning in his eyes was as clear as day: "You dare to fight me? You don't have the ability!"

Wei Qiang also had a similar expression.

To curry favor with Chen Biao, he even gave his boss a thumbs up, showing an expression of ingratiating himself. If only the two of them were here, he might even have licked his boots.

In his mind, he even outlined the tragic scene of Lin Fei kneeling in front of Chen Biao, crying and begging him not to fire Wang Jie.

He was not alone in imagining that scene, though. Even Chen Biao and all his colleagues here thought the same thing.

But they were destined to be proven wrong. Lin Fei had changed—no, he had transformed. After Chen Biao's voice faded, the scene of Lin Fei begging for Chen Biao didn't appear.

Not only that, Lin Fei looked at Chen Biao with a contemptuous smile hanging on the corner of his lips. "Chen Biao, I was just about to say the same thing. You stole the words right out of my mouth!

"I like people who know their own limits. You don't need to fire Wang Jie. He also quits!"
