Chen Jiaming’s nerves suddenly tensed: What does "official business done officially" mean?
What was Xiao Jianming implying with "official business done officially"?
Seeing that, Kang Junjia and Director Han sitting in the office were also somewhat nervous.
Xiao Jianming gazed into his eyes, which appeared indifferent as if a layer of indifference clouded his pupils, murky and unclear what was hidden inside.
Chen Jiaming knew the most terrifying thing about this man, that was, how he silently observed his prey with those eyes.
As his scalp tingled, Chen Jiaming suddenly chose a desperate stance and said, "If the chairman has something to tell me, he wouldn’t have called me to his office just because of what was said earlier."
"Jiaming, you are also a child I have watched grow up. Your father was a comrade-in-arms of mine, we went through life and death together. We had agreed that when you grew up, I would be your godfather, and your father would be Yebai’s godfather. We had even fantasized about you two following in our footsteps to join the military, but unfortunately, this did not materialize, which is a pity."
Listening to the other party’s words, akin to those of a kind elder, Chen Jiaming’s face remained indifferent.
"Before your father passed away from illness the year before last, he took my hand and instructed me to say that you are still young in the company, and if there were any issues where you needed improvement or guidance, I should not indulge you."
"I understand, Uncle Xiao," Chen Jiaming finally uttered the word ’uncle’ instead of chairman.
Xiao Yebai cast a cold glance at his face that appeared all too serious.
"Alright," Xiao Jianming said, "tell me, why did you want to save just that bit of money? Have I, or anyone else, ever instructed you to specifically lower Tengguang’s price?"
Chen Jiaming seemed to scoff, "The price I decided on has been approved by the company, hasn’t it been officially decided by the company?"
"That’s because everyone believed that was the price you settled with the other party."
"It was settled. The problem is, they are being hooligans now, reneging on their word," Chen Jiaming almost cursed that Tengguang was untrustworthy, calling them stupid pigs that had doomed him, claiming it had nothing to do with him.
At that moment, a burst of laughter suddenly filled the office.
The sound, abruptly erupting during that serious moment, surely pierced painfully into Chen Jiaming’s ears.
Chen Jiaming turned around and saw Xiao Yebai with a grin and eyebrows raised.
This spoiled brat, was he laughing at him?!
"Yebai," Xiao Jianming couldn’t help but reprimand his son for his lack of discipline.
Xiao Yebai then uncrossed his legs, spread his hands with a helpless tone: "I didn’t want to. But seeing him , it’s a first."
"Looking at him like that, don’t you feel you are quite wronged? No money, yet still wanting to buy out a company, saved money, yet being scolded," Xiao Yebai said while slightly curling his lips at the other party.
Chen Jiaming’s eyes narrowed into slits, wondering what more ivory could come out of this spoiled brat’s mouth.
"Brother—" Xiao Yebai suddenly called out to him like that.
Chen Jiaming and everyone else present were stunned, taken aback. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Xiao Yebai continued, "Bro, just say if you’re short on money. This little brother can a few, then you won’t have to use your employees as punching bags for others to beat, and bro, if you get mixed up in something, don’t blame others for caring."
Director Han’s tea sprayed straight onto the floor.
