BXBX NOVEL Chapter 203 - 203: Are You Worthy?
Fang Liguo grew anxious. “I really need to discuss something urgent with your president. Please help me convey the message…”
The receptionist politely declined, “I’m sorry, but I cannot assist with that. I don’t have the authority to arrange a meeting with the CEO. If anyone disturbs the CEO without proper authorization, I will be held responsible!”
“Miss, it’s truly urgent, and I implore you to make an exception. As a token of my gratitude, please accept this envelope.”
Fang Liguo produced a prepared envelope from his pocket and handed it to the receptionist.
Terrified, the receptionist pushed it back, saying, “Mr. Fang, you’ve misunderstood. Money is not the issue here. You must adhere to our company’s protocols since you’re here. You cannot…”
“Just take it!” Fang Liguo insisted, pushing the envelope into her hands, disregarding the onlookers.
In the process, he accidentally touched the receptionist’s hand.
Overwhelmed with fear, the receptionist, who was an intern fresh out of college, hurriedly activated the alarm.
Two security guards promptly arrived, seizing Fang Liguo’s hand. “What are you doing?”
“Escort Mr. Fang out,” the receptionist demanded, clearly shaken.
“What’s going on? Let me go. I need to speak to President Cheng,” Fang Liguo protested.
The security guards held him down and forcibly ejected him from the premises, preventing him from entering the company.
Peering through the glass, Fang Liguo observed someone consoling the distressed receptionist.
Feeling unfairly treated, he pleaded, “Gentlemen, I mean no harm. Have you heard of Fang Family Clothing Company? I’m the CEO of the Fang Family. Here’s my business card!” He swiftly presented his card to the security guards, but they ignored him, treating him as if he were invisible.
Fang Liguo attempted to enter again, but the two security guards intercepted him once more. “What are you doing? Do you want to be thrown out again?”
Fang Liguo, facing a situation he had never encountered before, felt an unusual sense of submission. If it weren’t for the imminent threat to his company, he wouldn’t have bothered with the security guards.
“Brothers…”
“Don’t try to buddy up to us. Who do you think you are calling us ‘Brothers’?”
“Young men, please make an exception. I genuinely need to discuss something important with your CEO.”
The security guards scrutinized him. His demeanor was humble, and his appearance was disheveled. He didn’t resemble a client of the CEO.
At that moment, the CEO’s private elevator opened. Cheng Mohan stepped out, checking the time. It was six in the evening, and he wondered if his sister had already returned home.
With that thought, he walked briskly. Just as he reached the door, he heard someone calling out to him.
“President Cheng, I’m Fang Liguo from Fang Family Clothing Company. You should recognize me, right?”
Fang Liguo, spotting his target, attempted to rush over but was once again blocked by the security guards.
“Let me go…” Fang Liguo struggled to break free and shouted, “I’m not sure how I offended you. If it’s about Master Qingyin, I sincerely apologize. I’ll settle the compensation by midnight tomorrow! We’ve already apologized to Master Qingyin!”
Cheng Mohan:”???”
“Could you show mercy and let us off? Honestly, our company has been going through a tough time lately. Additionally, with the rumors you’ve spread… our small company can’t bear it any longer!”
Cheng Mohan:”???”
“President Cheng, you appreciate Master Qingyin’s piano music, right? Did you know that Master Qingyin was actually at our place… Considering this, can you be generous and spare us?”
Cheng Mohan:”???” What was this person talking about? None of it made any sense.
At that moment, Ruan Nuo pulled up in front of Cheng Mohan and leaned down to open the car door for him.
Cheng Mohan walked forward, paying no attention to Fang Liguo.
“President Cheng, please don’t leave. Give me a chance. I promise that in the future… cough, cough, cough.” Before Fang Liguo could finish speaking, he got a mouthful of car exhaust.
The two security guards regarded him as if he were a stray dog.
“What are you staring at? Is the richest man in Haicheng City some sort of entertainment for you?”
“You’re asking for trouble!”
“Hey, hey, hey, what do you think you’re doing? How dare you attack me, I…”
Ruan Nuo, driving the car, glanced at the rearview mirror and witnessed Fang Liguo being roughed up by the security guards and tossed aside. He asked in confusion, “Boss, what’s going on with that guy?”
“I don’t know.” Cheng Mohan stared straight ahead, clearly not taking the situation seriously. He assumed Fang Liguo had mistaken him for someone else and just wanted to go home to see his sister.
Fang Liguo returned home in a sorry state.
Song Ling saw his battered face and exclaimed, “Oh my, how did you end up like this? Did the Cheng family attack you?”
All for the sake of Master Qingyin, they actually resorted to violence? How uncivilized!
