Just because he wasn't tall enough, Li Xuan held up his phone.
Frowning in confusion, he asked, "Manager Wang, don't you need it anymore? Or have you already believed it?"
Wang Chao's face flushed bright red.
The scene was a bit comical, and someone couldn't help but laugh.
Wang Chao's mouth twitched stiffly a few times. He straightened his suit and smiled, saying, "I'm afraid you've misunderstood. I just didn't want to waste everyone's time. Originally, I didn't plan to get entangled in this issue."
He shifted the blame onto others.
"That was our misunderstanding. I thought Manager Wang was a small - minded person, scolding people behind their backs and shifting the topic when his abilities fall short."
Li Xuan, who usually didn't talk much, left the others speechless with just one sentence.
Wang Chao was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he was completely helpless as he had no handle on this person.
Anyway, there would be plenty of time in the future. Wang Chao swallowed his anger with a fake smile. He would surely take revenge someday.
"Does Manager Gu have anything else to say?" Wang Chao looked at Gu Sisi.
Gu Sisi shook her head. She had nothing to say originally.
Then she was about to leave.
"I have something to say." Tang Ji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
Gu Sisi was puzzled, and so was everyone else present.
Facing everyone's puzzled looks, he said confidently, "I want to re - choose my own group. I'm willing to follow Sister Sisi. Is that okay, Manager Wang?"
At this moment, Tang Ji only felt disgusted. He had completely seen through his previous manager. He thought he might have been blind before, actually thinking that this manager was a responsible person.
This outcome was so unexpected. Wang Chao gritted his teeth and nodded, "Of course, everyone has the freedom to choose!"
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll go too."
Everyone was shocked. Although Tang Ji was sometimes unreliable in personality, he was extremely serious at work. Coupled with Li Xuan, they were the two most capable members of their group.
If they left, the remaining five people began to feel a bit shaken.
Wang Chao's face turned completely dark, "Then move your stuff as soon as possible! I don't want you to disrupt our work here!"
He let out a soft snort, "Everyone, hurry up. Don't waste time."
He always had some authority. Everyone shuddered and put away their distracting thoughts, then got back to work.
This result was beyond Gu Sisi's expectation. All three people who had originally stayed in the comic department had re - chosen her.
Li Xuan gave a cold look and said, "Then the task Manager Wang gave me, saying I couldn't leave... "
"None of your business!" Wang Chao interrupted him coldly.
The others didn't know what they were talking about, but Tang Ji did because he had heard the exact same words.
He found this person even more disgusting. He threw out a sentence, "Then I'll also leave it to Manager Wang to handle by himself!"
Without waiting for Wang Chao to say anything, Tang Ji directly dragged the two of them away.
He couldn't help muttering, "Disgusting..."
Gu Sisi was the only one among the three who didn't know the situation.
She asked, "What's going on?"
The situation was developing too fast. She felt like she couldn't grasp the key points. It was beyond her expectation that these two people would re - choose her. Of course, so was Zhang Jie.
"Sister Sisi..." Tang Ji hesitated for a while but still couldn't bring himself to say it.
The person who had experienced it really found it too disgusting.
Finally, Li Xuan spoke.
"Yesterday, it was said to be a department gathering. Seeing that you didn't go, we originally wanted to leave. But then, that guy called me out alone to talk." Li Xuan calmly recounted what had happened yesterday, but his attitude was much better than his previous cold one.
"He said there was a task that only I could do, and I had to finish it before considering the grouping. Because the grouping was a relatively new task, but the previous one couldn't be abandoned. I should have the sense of responsibility to take it on, even if we would lose."
"Humph, I think his purpose was to prevent us from choosing Sister Sisi. He told me the same thing, and I actually believed it." Tang Ji said angrily.
Everyone fell silent. No one had expected that this person would do so many things just to deal with Gu Sisi.
"Sister Sisi, be extremely careful. But don't be afraid. We'll all help you." Tang Ji scratched his head and said.
Seeing that both of them had matured a lot, Gu Sisi took a deep breath.
Maybe they had experienced too many things. In comparison, this was just a small matter.
"Don't worry. He can't defeat me." Gu Sisi's eyes sparkled.
The other two glanced at each other and smiled.
They had forgotten that Sister Sisi was originally very capable and could withstand pressure.
The previous pressure wasn't any less, but she still succeeded on her own.
The three of them were all smiling, which gave Zhang Jie, who was still worrying in the office, a great shock.
"Why are you here?"
"To see you."
"Huh?"
" " " "
Meanwhile, at Huoshi Group.
Chen Fang had already got the results of the people that General Manager Huo had asked him to investigate.
Huo Cheng casually scanned through it. It was about the same as what he had originally guessed.
All those companies that had suddenly switched from long - term cooperation with Huoshi to a new small company were because their bosses had been blackmailed and threatened into giving up the long - term cooperation.
"General Manager Huo, did you guess that it wasn't a threat to the project leaders?" Chen Fang asked in confusion.
He originally thought that this matter must have been accomplished by bribing the project leaders. After all, the project leaders had great power, and the bosses wouldn't participate in every project.
It would be easier to cover up this way. At least many project leaders were operating like this nowadays, only doing things in exchange for some benefits.
No one would have thought that it was actually a threat to the company bosses. Chen Fang gasped in shock after getting the investigation results.
It meant that the other side was not only bold but also not as weak as it seemed on the surface. Otherwise, they wouldn't have operated like this again and again.
"I've probed them, but they just kept saying it was a matter of interests. It's absolutely impossible for people in this position to only focus on short - term interests." Huo Cheng narrowed his eyes.
His gaze fell on the investigation report, which stated that General Manager He had been blackmailed because someone had got hold of his affair with his mistress.
It wasn't a big deal, but General Manager He was a son - in - law. If this matter got out, he would surely be kicked out.
Chen Fang also followed General Manager Huo's gaze and took a look. Almost all of Yintianzhong Company's partners had been blackmailed.
Chen Fang frowned worriedly.
"What should we do next?"
He couldn't guess the other side's purpose at all.
Huo Cheng stood up and gave a cold look at the report, "Since we've learned something, it's time for us to pay a direct visit to the main character."
Chen Fang's heart skipped a beat and he quickly followed.
