Chapter 29 Dispute_3
"Not slacking off? You're supposed to be on duty outside during work hours, so what are you doing sitting here? And you still dare to deny it?" Wang Dajun snorted coldly, if this were the military, he would have thrashed Lin Hai already.
"Captain Wang, you can't be reckless with your words. Does sitting here equate to slacking off? Aren't you here as well?" Lin Hai said.
"You!"
"I am different from you all." Wang Dajun, not apt at speaking and accustomed to seriousness, was certainly no match for Lin Hai in a battle of words.
Fan Jian blinked and thought he might very well be fired by Wang Dajun today. So, with a hardened heart and a deep breath, he also began to retort alongside Lin Hai: "Yeah, you say we are slacking off for being here, aren't you here as well?"
"And, why aren't you the same as us?"
"You! You all!" Wang Dajun was choked with fury, his hands clenched into fists behind his back, making a creaking sound.
"I am supervising you!" Wang Dajun finally found such a word after a long struggle to explain why he too was standing here.
"Oh, now I see, 'the higher one's rank, the harder they fall'," Lin Hai mockingly laughed.
"Lin Hai, don't spit blood!" Wang Dajun gritted his teeth.
"Heh, Captain Wang, aren't you the one spitting blood? Fan Jian and I have been working diligently, yet you falsely accuse us of slacking off and have the nerve to say I'm spitting blood? Quite the power you wield," Lin Hai said with a sneering laugh.
"This matter, even if it truly gets brought before President Ouyang, I will argue my case justly and will not compromise," Lin Hai declared.
Wang Dajun ground his teeth, itching to rush up and brutally beat Lin Hai and Fan Jian to a pulp right then and there.
However, this was no longer the military but a society ruled by law.
"Fine, Lin Hai, let's go see the president now and find out in front of President Ouyang if you really have been slacking off or not!" Having said this, Wang Dajun thought to himself that once in front of President Ouyang, this sharp-tongued kid wouldn't be able to stir any trouble, and then he would be fired immediately.
One should not let a single rotten apple spoil the whole barrel.
In Wang Dajun's eyes, Lin Hai was that rotten apple, and Fan Jian seemed to have been tainted by Lin Hai as well, evolving from half a rotten apple to a whole one.
Thus, Fan Jian couldn't stay either; he had to be fired along with Lin Hai, Wang Dajun thought to himself.
"Alright, let's go up and clarify everything in front of President Ouyang," Lin Hai said fearlessly, smiling confidently.
Fan Jian's face showed a troubled expression, as strictly speaking, the two of them were indeed slacking off.
"But what if it turns out I'm innocent and wasn't slacking off?" Lin Hai asked with a smile.
"Hmph, what do you propose?" Wang Dajun was convinced that Lin Hai was slacking off, especially seeing his lazy and disheveled demeanor; he couldn't believe that Lin Hai wasn't slacking off.
"Nothing much, if my innocence is proven later, then you have to secure me the position of deputy captain of security and let me lead a team," Lin Hai stated his condition.
"Deputy captain? You?" Wang Dajun looked Lin Hai up and down and sneered.
"What? Captain Wang, don't have the guts to take this bet?" Lin Hai provoked. My V^ir!t.ua!l* L$i.br%a%r@y E!m*pir*e (.M|V.|$LE1M%P-YR#) thank^s% you for re&ad!i*ng at the s&ou$r+c$e^.@
Captain Wang burst into loud laughter, as if he had heard a ridiculous joke, then replied, "Fine, however, if it's proven that you were slacking off, then you'll resign and get lost immediately!"
"Deal, I'll take you up on that, lead the way!" Lin Hai concluded, squinting his eyes in a complacent manner.
Fan Jian, however, was far from calm, feeling like a frantic cat scratching at his chest, that sensation was indescribably torturous.
"It's over, it's over, I'm done for, definitely going to be fired," Fan Jian murmured despondently, following behind Lin Hai and setting foot out of the office, each step feeling immeasurably difficult, sure to be fired this time.
The three entered the elevator, with Wang Dajun calm and collected, even throwing Fan Jian a glare, reassured by his trembling state.
Lin Hai, however, squinted his eyes, exuding a lazy aura, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Soon, the three arrived at the top floor of the Mingya Group, and Lin Hai saw that President Ouyang Xiaoya's office was not far off.
"Hmph," Wang Dajun snorted and approached the office door, knocking lightly three times, saying, "President, it's Wang Dajun."
"Come in," the cool voice of Ouyang Xiaoya came from inside the door, emotion indiscernible.
"Let's go in, and soon you two can pack up and leave," Wang Dajun turned to Lin Hai and Fan Jian with a smile.
Lin Hai responded with a slight smile, showing no fear, breezily pushing open the door of Ouyang Xiaoya's office, even stepping in before Wang Dajun could react.
