Tang Wan finished speaking, and aside from one employee who was suppressing his voice to make a phone call, the entire studio became eerily quiet.
The cold wind howled outside, and Tang Wan just stood there resolutely, from beginning to end, unmoved. Only her gaze upon those five men became increasingly cold and harsh.
It was as if a layer of frost had formed in the depths of her eyes, impervious to water, chilling to the bone.
"Coming over to smash things, saying they want to see the boss to collect a debt, and you don’t recognize me? What the hell kind of money are you after?" Tang Wan’s lips curled into a disdainful sneer.
Those five men clearly hadn’t expected Tang Wan to be the boss. They couldn’t control their expressions, staring with eyes wide with panic, looking at each other.
"You better stop bullshitting us! You’re the boss?" The man called hacker, who had been beaten, raised his hand to wipe his face, smearing blood on his hand in his frustration.
Tang Wan simply smiled, "Everyone in the building has left. If I wanted to order custom jewelry, I wouldn’t choose this time, would I?"
"Who else would come at this time if not the boss?"
"In this cold weather, running over here, and just happening to stand up for someone? Deliberately causing trouble for myself? Anyone who thinks that is either stupid or an idiot."
"You..." The man who was beaten went red in the face.
Wasn’t this just another way to insult him?
Tang Wan laughed lightly, "You all came over here, made such a commotion, and even hit my employee. It’s nothing but an attempt to force me to show up."
"Regarding the debt issue, I’m not aware of it, but one thing I see very clearly."
"You choose worthless things to smash, and when hitting people, you opt for hidden spots on the body. In the end, you too do not wish to pay compensation or really injure someone; you just don’t want to invite trouble."
Her tone was light yet transparent to the machinations of those five men. She casually added a chilling thought,
"You’re being paid to do someone else’s dirty work, aren’t you..."
"Go back and tell that person, my phone works, and I’ve been pretty free lately."
"If there’s an issue, come directly to me! I..."
Born extremely gentle and speaking with softness, Tang Wan’s words had a profound, scorching weight.
It was as if she saw through everything, exuding a sense I can carry the whole show, a far cry from the sharp and acerbic demeanor from just moments ago.
"Miss Tang, then we won’t pretend anymore. We really didn’t know the owner of the studio was you. Someone paid us to come and collect a debt, never expected it was like playing a trick on the Dragon King Temple..." The lead thug also wore an awkward expression.
The job wasn’t done, and now their cover was completely blown.
Faced with someone cunning, there was no need for him to keep up the act, nor did he want to offend the Tang Family, so he spilled everything.
"Since you’ve guessed it all, why did you earlier..."
If Tang Wan had said something earlier, at least his brothers wouldn’t have gotten beaten.
Tang Wan just pursed her lips, "Injuring my employee, there’s always a price to pay, right?"
I deliberately angered you, to stand up for our employees.
That left the employee stunned for a long time:
Many ruthless bosses would rather wring their employees dry. If a subordinate screwed up, they’d prefer to hide as far away as possible. Who knew there were bosses who would fiercely defend their own?
At that moment, he felt that working for her for a lifetime would be worth it.
Once everything was laid bare, those five men became extremely embarrassed, and after apologizing to the employee, they scurried away, tails between their legs.
Jiang Jinsang gave Jiang Cuo a look, and that person narrowed his eyes with a sly smile, his foxy eyes revealing a glint.
"Brothers, let me see you out!"
After the men left, Tang Wan turned to look at the employee, making him even more embarrassed. He was covering the night shift, and he had allowed the studio to be trashed. He was considering resigning on his own initiative.
"Your name is Xu Lin?" Tang Wan tentatively asked.
"Yes." Xu Lin responded, surprised that she knew his name.
"I remember you just graduated this year."
"Yes, I haven’t even worked for half a year."
"You haven’t seen this kind of situation before, must have been quite frightened," Tang Wan said in a comforting tone, "If any part of your body is unwell, I’ll have someone take you to the hospital."
When talking to someone, it’s usually polite to look them in the eyes, but Tang Wan’s gaze made him somewhat bashful.
A beautiful woman smiling at you, asking if you’re hurt or uncomfortable? Not many men can remain unmoved by that.
Xu Lin’s face reddened slightly, but as he looked at Tang Wan, his eyes naturally caught a glimpse of the person standing beside her.
Jiang Jinsang stood obliquely behind Tang Wan, smiling with a mischievous charm.
