My Daily Basic Stipend Is 10 Million

Chapter 217: Chapter 174: I’ll Interfere If I Want To

’How can I ever face my classmates now?!’

President Fu said with a hostile expression, "As an investment manager, how could you target one of our business partners? If you keep this up, who will dare to work with us?"

At first, Liu Lei thought President Fu had overheard something while making his rounds, but now it was clear that wasn’t the case. He knew what had happened in the store.

’President Hao must have called him to report what happened!’

Liu Lei’s face was beet red, but he didn’t dare say a word. Gao Yue couldn’t bear to watch any longer and spoke up. "President Fu, is it? Liu Lei was only criticizing the brand to protect the customers’ rights. Are you saying that no matter how rudely a brand acts, you should just ignore it?"

"If that’s the case, what’s the point of your mall management company? Just to collect rent?"

President Fu was furious with Liu Lei, but he didn’t dare lash out at a customer like Gao Yue. The bad publicity would be terrible if word got out.

He turned to President Liu and said, "Sir, President Hao from Flying Motors just called to complain. He said our investment staff member brutally interfered with their store’s management and even threatened not to renew their contract when it expires!"

"Flying Motors is one of our premium clients. They’re always among the first to pay rent, and their level of cooperation with us has always been high! What Liu Lei did will damage our partnership!"

President Liu frowned and said to Liu Lei, "Xiao Liu, you’ve greatly disappointed me!"

Liu Lei’s head hung so low it nearly touched the floor. He was being chewed out in front of his two beautiful high school classmates like a complete nobody.

If he weren’t holding back with all his might, he would have thrown in the towel and quit on the spot!

Gao Yue’s voice turned cold. "What an impressive display of authority from you two leaders. Are you just going to turn a deaf ear to the situation we customers have reported?"

President Fu said, "Ladies, if you want to report an issue, you can go to the service desk. They will register it, and we will handle it through the proper channels."

"Right now, we are disciplining an internal staff member. Please do not interfere!"

Gao Yue and Li Xiao grew anxious. They were the ones who had come looking for trouble today. Liu Lei had only stepped in to stand up for them. If he lost his job over this, how could they live with themselves?

But seeing President Liu and President Fu’s attitude, it was obvious they were siding with the Flying Motors brand. Liu Lei was in for an unavoidable tongue-lashing.

President Liu chimed in from the side, "Xiao Liu, go back and write a self-criticism report first. Afterward, we’ll invite the brand representative over, and you will apologize to them in person. We’ll see if they forgive you."

Liu Lei felt like he could just die. He’d never been so humiliated in his entire life. He stammered, "President Liu, what they said was way out of line too!"

President Fu glared. "Still making excuses? You still don’t recognize your own mistake? Can you even do this job? If not, then get the hell out!"

Gao Yue and Li Xiao listened from the side, furious and anxious, but they were powerless to change the situation. They saw Liu Lei’s head hanging low, the corners of his eyes already glistening with tears.

To force a grown man to the point of tears—one could only imagine the humiliation he felt at that moment.

Just then, Gao Yue’s phone rang. She picked it up, took one look, and quickly said to Li Xiao, "Miss Xu is here! She knows we’re at this store and is on her way over!"

President Liu and President Fu didn’t know who this "Miss Xu" was and paid it no mind. But when Liu Lei heard the name, his spirit practically flew out of his body.

Being humiliated in front of his two female high school classmates already made him want to crawl into a hole and die.

To be reprimanded like this with the goddess of his heart nearby... he really did feel like dying!

But President Fu clearly had no intention of letting him off the hook, continuing to berate him like a machine gun firing. President Liu watched from the side, occasionally adding a few words of his own.

The two women were beside themselves with anxiety, deeply regretting their earlier provocation. Otherwise, Liu Lei wouldn’t be getting chewed out by his bosses like this.

President Fu had been right about one thing: they were handling official business. Gao Yue and Li Xiao had no grounds to interfere at this point and could only worry for Liu Lei from the sidelines.

Liu Lei just wished President Fu would finish his tirade so he could escape. Otherwise, when his goddess arrived and saw him in this state...

But a man like President Fu was used to giving hour-long speeches off the cuff when presenting reports. How long had he even been yelling?

He kept his head down, his mind buzzing. He felt detached from the world, his entire being in a stupor, unable to perceive anything from the outside.

"Ah Yue, Xiao Xiao!"

The voice was alluring yet resolute; just from the sound of it, one could tell its owner was a decisive and formidable person.

Gao Yue turned around in pleasant surprise. "Pres... President Xu!"

Xu Wu saw the crowd of people squeezed together and the lost, anxious looks on Gao Yue and Li Xiao’s faces. They hadn’t even noticed when she walked right up to them.

"What’s wrong?"

Xu Wu now unconsciously radiated the aura of a superior. The moment she spoke, the entire scene fell silent...

Liu Lei finally heard the voice that haunted his dreams, but at this moment, he couldn’t bring himself to lift his head. He would rather not have seen her right now...

President Fu also stopped his tirade against Liu Lei and turned to look at this woman who was impossibly beautiful, yet carried a powerful air that tolerated no dissent.

He didn’t notice President Liu’s eyes narrow beside him as he softly uttered, "President Xu!"

But since Xu Wu wasn’t looking at him, he didn’t step forward to greet her.

Gao Yue quickly summarized the situation, though of course she didn’t mention that she and Li Xiao had come looking for trouble on purpose.

She just said that they had come to look at a car, raised a few issues, and received rude service from the store. Afterward, Liu Lei, as a representative of mall management, had criticized the store and demanded an apology.

But now the mall’s leadership had arrived and, far from supporting him, had been criticizing him ever since.

Xu Wu was an incredibly sharp person. The moment she heard Gao Yue was at the Flying Motors dealership, she knew they must have been there to stir up trouble. But she certainly wasn’t going to expose them in a situation like this.
