C96 Youre Just a Dog That Can be Abused!
"I'm asking the questions here! Who is Hee Weiqiang?" bellowed the man in the suit once more.
Hee Weiqiang was completely taken aback, managing to nod and stammer, "That's me..."
But before he could get another word out, the man in the suit delivered a vicious slap across his face.
"You wanna die, just spit it out! Who gave you the right to reject Miss Pei's interview?"
Stunned, Hee Weiqiang clutched his cheek and asked, "Who are you... Why did you hit me?"
"Hit you? I could damn well end your miserable life!"
With that, the man in the suit kicked him to the ground, stepped on his head, and roared, "Missed the C Group's email, did you? You dare to snub Director Wang? Looks like you're asking for it!"
Hee Weiqiang shuddered violently. "C Group... Director Wang?..."
It was only then that Hee Weiqiang noticed the golden badges adorning the suits of these men, emblazoned with 'C Group'.
C Group was a titan in A City's business world! How on earth had he managed to cross Director Wang?
With this realization, he hurriedly tried to clear the air, "Big brother, I had no idea about any of this. There's got to be some mistake. If I had known it involved Director Wang, I wouldn't have dared defy him, even under threat of death..."
Pinned under the man's shoe like a squashed bug, Hee Weiqiang was immobilized, left with nothing but his pleas for mercy.
Meanwhile, Wai Tine and Zhao Jiaqian, who were nearby, were too petrified to even breathe too loudly.
The C Group had stormed in for Pei Qiuyu?
Why would Wang Baifa, Director Wang, go to bat for Pei Qiuyu?
Was it on account of her own influence, or her good-for-nothing husband's? It seemed unfathomable...
What they didn't realize was that to someone like Wang Baifa, a giant in their eyes, was merely a subordinate in the presence of Lin Xuan.
Just then, the man in the suit received a call. He listened intently, then nodded, "Yes, I've got it!"
He hung up and turned to the others, commanding, "Director Wang is downstairs. Take all of these people down with you!"
After finishing his statement, he seized Hee Weiqiang by the hair and hauled him out like a lifeless dog.
Wai Tine and Zhao Jiaqian were so terrified they could barely get their words out, stuttering, "No, no... We didn't mean..."
"No what! Take them all down!"
Several people grabbed the trio and dragged them down to the company's lobby.
Upon laying eyes on Wang Baifa, Hee Weiqiang felt as though he'd been hit by a bolt of lightning, his legs giving way in fear, and he immediately dropped to his knees.
Wang Baifa, with a dark scowl and hands clasped behind his back, spoke icily, "Hee Weiqiang, I extended you courtesy, and you threw it back in my face? You've no one to blame but yourself!"
"Effective immediately, your company Lin Yang is blacklisted by the entire A City Chamber of Commerce. All ongoing operations are forcibly halted. Should there be any contract violations, your company will shoulder all the losses! And for failing to comply with industry standards, you'll be slapped with a hefty fine!"
With that, Wang Baifa flung a fine notice onto Hee Weiqiang's face.
Hee Weiqiang's eyes widened in shock at the fine notice.
"A fine of ten million...!!"
He felt as if the world was crashing down around him!
With all his projects abruptly terminated and a mere 30 million in registered capital, was his small company now doomed to lose everything, down to the last penny?!
A fine of 10 million... Hee Weiqiang realized that even if he were cut up and sold off piece by piece, he couldn't possibly raise that much cash.
Hee Weiqiang immediately prostrated himself on the ground, knocking his forehead against the floor, pleading, "Director Wang, I admit my mistake! I should never have driven Pei Qiuyu away. Please, forgive me and grant me one more chance!"
Wang Baifa let out a disdainful chuckle, "You're apologizing to me? As if you're in any position to do so!"
With a swift kick, he sent Hee Weiqiang sprawling like a stray dog and commanded his subordinates, "Seal off his Lin Yang this instant. Make sure this idiot is utterly ruined and left homeless on the streets!"
Wang Baifa was overcome with a sense of devastation, breaking down into tears of despair.
Desperate to secure more projects and cash in quickly, Hee Weiqiang had willingly signed several lopsided contracts with various companies, gambling on the chance to outmaneuver his competitors and secure more business.
Little did he know, the clever tricks he played back then have now brewed a bitter harvest for him!
He had put all his chips on Lin Yang Company, and if he pulled out of the contract, not only would he face a massive loss, but he'd also be hit with lawsuits from several companies at once.
Just the thought of the compensation was enough to crush him like a ton of bricks!
Overwhelmed by the gravity of his situation, Hee Weiqiang fell to his knees and desperately kowtowed to Wang Baifa, tears streaming down his face. "Director Wang! You're like a father to me, my very own father! Please, I'm begging you, give me one more chance, Director Wang..."
"I'd gladly be at your beck and call for the rest of my life, Director Wang!"
"Scram!"
Wang Baifa sent him flying with a kick and said coldly, "You think you're fit to be my son? You treated the email I sent you like it was nothing. And now you expect me to give you a chance?"
"No... not at all!" Hee Weiqiang's face turned ghostly pale as he frantically shook his head like a bobblehead: "I didn't see it... I truly didn't see it!"
"You ignored the email I sent you? That just makes your offense even graver!"
"You've really gotten too big for your britches!"
Wang Baifa commanded his men, "Beat him until this piece of trash comes to his senses!"
"Director Wang! I won't do it again... Director Wang..."
Wang Baifa's men were deaf to Hee Weiqiang's pleas for mercy. They laid into him with a flurry of punches and kicks, leaving him squealing like a pig.
At that moment, Wang Baifa turned his icy gaze to Wai Tine and Zhao Jiaqian, who were shivering with fear, and asked in a cold voice, "What's your relationship with him?"
Terrified, Wai Tine and Zhao Jiaqian hastily gestured, "We have nothing to do with him... We... We don't even know him!"
Hee Weiqiang was nearly beaten to death, and yet they were quick to disassociate themselves from him? That was practically a death wish!
Wang Baifa let out a contemptuous snort and declared, "I have no time for disloyal, lying scum like you in my life!"
"You work at his company, and yet you claim you don't know him?"
Just then, one of the assailants spoke up, "Director Wang, before we came in, these two were all smiles and chatty with Hee Weiqiang."
"No, that's not it..." The two were petrified, their faces drained of color as they vehemently denied the accusation.
Hee Weiqiang, in the midst of a beating, overheard their denial and bellowed in rage, "Director Wang, they both know me! They're the ones who egged me on to undermine Pei Qiuyu!"
Determined to not go down alone, Hee Weiqiang was intent on taking them with him. His current predicament was inextricably linked to these two, and if he was going down, they weren't getting off easy either.
Wang Baifa gave a nod, his voice icy, "I see, birds of a feather flock together. Not a single decent one among you. Bring those two here and beat them as well. Afterward, blacklist them all!"
"Hee Weiqiang, you dare drag me down with you even in death? I'll fight you with my last breath!"
Wai Tine, incensed by the words, charged at Hee Weiqiang in a frenzy, but his actions couldn't save him from the beating that followed.
Soon enough, the three wretches were entangled, crying out in agony, "Ouch, ah... please, no more beating, no more, ah!"
