Chapter 1473 Taking It Out
Chapter 1473 Taking It Out
Lu Feng stared at Xiaoli, the shameless subordinate in front of him, with a gaze as sharp as a torch.
He felt a surge of anger rising from the bottom of his heart, burning his cheeks, and his face turned blue in an instant, just like the gloomy sky before a storm.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few cold laughs: "Haha, yo, Xiaoli, what, are you going to be my teacher?"
Xiaoli was confused, not knowing what Lu Feng meant. "Mr. Lu, what do you mean?"
"From your tone, do you want to teach me how to be a good person?"
Lu Feng's voice was cold yet carried with it unquestionable majesty, like a piece of ice, hitting Xiaoli directly.
Xiaoli had been looking very arrogant at first, but when she saw Lu Feng's really angry expression, her heart tightened, as if someone poured a bucket of cold water on her head, and her arrogance immediately dissipated a little.
She lowered her head slightly, her eyes flickering, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes, and her voice became a little weaker: "No, Mr. Lu, we are also kind-hearted. These country people are very scheming."
When Lu Feng heard this, his brows furrowed tightly like two steep mountains, and the anger in his eyes grew stronger, as if it could burn everything in front of him to ashes.
He slammed the table hard. A loud "bang" echoed in the silent office, shaking the documents on the table slightly.
"What's wrong with being from the countryside? Which of your ancestors for three generations didn't come from the countryside? Which of the meals and vegetables you eat don't come from the countryside? How dare you look down on people from the countryside? Humph!"
He snorted coldly, and the sound seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat, carrying endless contempt and anger.
At this time, a person nearby saw this and wanted to say something. He just opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Lu Feng suddenly turned his head, shot at him with a gaze like a sword, and shouted: "Alright, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense!"
The sound was as loud as a bell, making the man's ears buzz.
He slowly raised his right hand, arm straight, palm open, fingers pointing at everyone in the crowd.
His movements were slow and firm, as if announcing his determination to everyone.
His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be struck out heavily, reaching everyone's ears clearly.
He spoke slowly, but with a kind of authority that could not be ignored.
"As for the matter of you bullying Xiaomei," he said, "I am the one who will handle it today. You should be very grateful. If it were someone else, especially Xu Xiaoxiao and Nan Weiwei, you..."
When he said this, Lu Feng's chin raised slightly, as if he was superior to others.
There was a barely perceptible hint of pride and complacency in his eyes, as if he had completely mastered the situation and was sure of victory.
He paused, as if he wanted everyone to fully understand the meaning of his words, and then continued: "Do you know who they are? One of them is Fu Yanchen's wife, the wife of the president of Fu Group! The other is the eldest daughter of the Nan family, and the Nan family is a well-known family in this city! You people can't afford to offend any of them!"
Lu Feng's tone became more and more arrogant. He even glanced at Xiaomei with an appreciative smile on his face.
"Xiao Mei, do you know how powerful her backer is? It's like an unshakable mountain! In comparison, you are far behind."
"Not only does she have a pair of discerning eyes that can identify true talents, but the friends she makes are also outstanding people. Look at you, the two standing next to you are simply useless! They don't even dare to say a word, and they only know how to bully those who are weak. When they meet powerful people, they hide away like turtles. People like this are nothing but trash."
As he spoke, he pointed at the two people standing next to Xiaoli. The two people were frightened by Lu Feng's pointing at them, and their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled slightly. They were like two frightened birds, lowering their heads and not daring to look at Lu Feng.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became extremely tense, like a taut string that could break at any time.
The sunlight outside the window shines through the glass onto the ground, but it cannot dispel the smell of gunpowder in the air.
Lu Feng stood there, like an unshakable mountain, emitting a powerful aura that made everyone afraid to act rashly.
Xiaoli was so frightened by Lu Feng's harsh words that she stood there as if she was under a spell, with a look of panic on her face.
Her eyes were wide open, like bells, filled with disbelief and deep fear. The arrogance she had originally had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a chill as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
How could she not know Fu Yanchen? He was a big shot in the capital city, and his stomping of his feet could shake the business world.
She had heard countless legendary stories about Fu Yanchen. In the business world, he was decisive and ruthless, and his methods were fierce. Wherever he went, his competitors were terrified.
As for emotions, he dotes on his wife to the point of risking his life. He is willing to spend a fortune just to make his wife smile. His level of affection is simply astonishing.
Xiaoli knew very well that if Xu Xiaoxiao really wanted to make a fuss about them bullying Xiaomei, given how much Fu Yanchen doted on his wife, he would definitely not let them off easily.
By then, they might not even have a place to stand in this imperial capital. They will be truly doomed.
And then there was Nan Weiwei, the apple of the Nan family's eye. The Nan family had a pivotal position in the imperial capital, and the family power was intertwined and involved in many fields.
As the darling of the Nan family, Nan Weiwei has been pampered since childhood. A single word from her could really turn the entire situation upside down in the imperial capital.
The more Xiaoli thought about it, the more frightened she became. Her legs began to tremble involuntarily, as if she was standing on the edge of a cliff and could fall into the abyss at any time.
She felt like her throat was blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound. She could only stare at Lu Feng, her eyes full of pleading and helplessness.
Lu Feng sat upright on the carved wooden chair behind his desk, his posture as straight as a pine tree, emanating an inviolable majesty.
His face was cold, and his eyes were like the cold light in the cold night, piercing directly at the people in front of him who had bullied Xiaomei. He said coldly: "Tell me, how are you going to deal with the matter of you bullying Xiaomei?"
The voice seemed to come from an ice cellar, carrying a bone-chilling chill that made everyone present shiver.
In Lu Feng's heart, not to mention the forces behind Xu Xiaoxiao and Nan Weiwei, the fact that Xiaomei was brought here by him personally is like his face.
Now, these ignorant guys actually dared to bully Xiaomei. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face for Lu Feng.
What's more, this is his, Lu Feng's company, the world he has worked hard to build, and it is not the turn of these clowns to jump around in front of him.
Those people were frightened by Lu Feng's cold aura and sharp words, and their faces turned pale. Cold sweat rolled down their foreheads like beans, soaking their collars.
They looked at each other, their eyes full of panic and fear, like a group of prey surrounded by hunters, not knowing where to escape.
After a moment of silence, one of them took a deep breath, as if mustering up all his courage, and took a step forward. His body was trembling slightly, and his voice was a little tearful: "I'm... I'm sorry, Xiaomei, it's our fault, please forgive us?"
After saying that, he lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Xiaomei's eyes, as if as soon as he raised his head, he would be swallowed by the anger in that gaze.
Seeing this, the others followed suit, lowering their heads and looking submissive, like children who had made a mistake, and kept muttering words of apology.
They rubbed the corners of their clothes nervously with their hands and moved their feet back and forth on the ground, looking very uneasy.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the office was so depressing that it made people breathless, as if a storm was about to come.
Lu Feng's face was cold, like a cliff covered with a thin layer of frost in the cold winter, and he exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.
He suddenly stretched out his slender fingers and pointed them directly at the people in front of him who had been so arrogant just now but were now as wilted as eggplants hit by frost. His eyes were full of sharpness and disdain.
He knew clearly in his heart that the so-called apologies of these people were only given under duress because of the situation. They were frightened by his words and the possible consequences. There was no sincerity in them.
Lu Feng turned slightly to the side, and cast a gentle but concerned and scrutinizing gaze at Xiao Mei. Although his voice was not as cold as ice just now, it also revealed a seriousness that could not be ignored: "Xiao Mei, how are you going to deal with it? Are you going to forgive them so easily?"
There was a hint of worry in his tone that Xiaomei might be soft-hearted, as if reminding her that what these people had done before should not be easily forgiven.
As he spoke, Lu Feng's eyes became sharp, like a sword being unsheathed, and he gave Xiao Mei another suggestion, with a tone of unquestionable determination in his voice: "Should we call the police? They hurt you on purpose, which is against the law. Let the police arrest them and put them in jail for a few days, so that they can have a good taste of losing their freedom and know that bullying others will come at a price."
As he spoke, he glanced at the people in front of him with a sharp gaze, as if silently warning them that if they dared to do it again, more severe punishment would be waiting for them.
When those people heard the word "call the police", they were suddenly struck by lightning. Their faces instantly turned as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.
Their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, like fallen leaves shivering in the autumn wind.
One of them felt his legs go limp and he fell to his knees with a thump. He held his head in his hands and cried out in a sobbing voice, “No, we know we were wrong and we won’t do it again.”
Seeing this, the other people also showed expressions of horror, with despair in their eyes, as if they had already seen the tragic scene of themselves being imprisoned.
The whole office was filled with a depressing and tense atmosphere, like the calm before the storm.
Lu Feng snorted coldly, the sound was short and cold, as if it was squeezed out from between his teeth, and his whole body exuded a cold aura that kept people at a distance.
He raised his chin slightly, and glanced coldly at the frightened people in front of him. He closed his thin lips and said no more, as if saying one more word would be a waste.
Xiaomei stood aside, her eyes gentle but firm. She quietly looked at the people in front of her who had just spoken harshly to her. Although there was still a trace of grievance in her heart, she was more tolerant and kind.
She thought that these people were Lu Feng's employees, and Lu Feng would have to work with them in the future. If the relationship became too strained, it would not be good for Lu Feng's work.
So, Xiaomei took a deep breath and spoke slowly. Although her voice was soft, it was full of unquestionable power: "You just need to return the money I gave you to buy things and apologize to me sincerely, that's all."
At this point, she paused for a moment, scanned the faces of those people one by one, and continued, "Also, you are not allowed to bully new employees in the future."
Those people were still immersed in fear. When they heard Xiaomei's words, they were stunned at first, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
Then, an expression of surprise and shame appeared on his face.
To their surprise, Xiaomei did not make a big deal out of it as they had imagined, putting them in a worse situation; to their shame, their previous behavior was so bad.
One of them was the first to react. He nodded quickly, his eyes full of gratitude: "Xiao Mei, we were wrong. We will return the money to you and apologize to you sincerely. We will never bully new employees again."
Seeing this, the others also echoed it, lowering their heads and speaking sincerely: "Yes, we were wrong, we will change in the future." They looked completely different from their previous arrogant and domineering appearance.
Lu Feng sneered secretly in his heart, and that sneer seemed to surge from the deepest part of his heart, carrying with it endless contempt and determination.
In his mind, the "future" of these people was nothing but a delusion. With him, they no longer had any chance.
The behavior of these people is like a cancer in the company. If it is not eradicated, it will sooner or later undermine the foundation of the company.
He looked at Xiaomei and saw that she did not blame these people too much. She just proposed relatively generous conditions. Although he felt touched by Xiaomei's kindness, his attitude towards these people became more determined.
He frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, and then he waved his hands. The movement was crisp and decisive, as if he was driving away a few disgusting flies.
"Okay, you guys go out." Lu Feng's voice was cold and serious, like the chilly wind in winter, blowing straight into the ears of those people.
He paused for a moment, as if thinking about what to say next, and then his eyes suddenly became sharp, staring straight at the person in front of him, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
His voice was deep and powerful, with an irresistible determination: "You... go to the Finance Department to collect your wages, then pack up your things and get out immediately. My small temple cannot accommodate several big Buddhas like you."
His words were like a sharp sword, stabbing straight at the other party, making people feel his anger and dissatisfaction.
Those people originally still had a glimmer of hope, thinking they could get away with it and continue to stay in the company.
Hearing Lu Feng's words at this moment, he was struck by lightning, his face turned pale in an instant, his legs went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Their eyes widened with disbelief and despair, as if they saw the end of their careers.
One of them opened his mouth with trembling lips and wanted to beg for mercy, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.
She knew that once Lu Feng made a decision, there was no possibility of changing it. The other people also looked ashen, standing there blankly, as if their souls had been sucked out.
"What are you still standing there for? Do you want me to ask you to leave?"
Seeing them standing there motionless, Lu Feng frowned and raised his voice a few degrees.
