Shen Nanyi kept silent. Zhao Bowen thought she was intimidated by him, and his expression grew even more smug. "You've seen Lin Qian and Shen Ye on TV, right? They're the hottest celebrities right now, and they're all from our company. You could say that most of the well - known names in the entertainment industry are from our company. If they share that video just now, who do you think will believe you?"
Zhao Bowen's words were getting more and more exaggerated. If one didn't know better, they might think he was the boss of Xingyi Media.
Shen Nanyi wasn't surprised at all that Zhao Bowen could say such things, having already witnessed his shamelessness. She just stood there quietly, listening to his boasting.
Zhao Bowen kept going on about how powerful Xingyi Media was. Finally, Shen Yi remembered what Xingyi Media was all about. At that moment, he didn't know what expression to put on to convey his feelings.
After listening to Zhao Bowen talk for a full five or six minutes, Shen Nanyi finally couldn't bear it anymore. It was getting late, and she was eager to spend time with Ling Xiaoxiao to strengthen their bond. "I think what you said makes a lot of sense."
Looking at the time on the wall, Shen Nanyi decided to resolve this matter quickly. Coincidentally, Zhao Bowen's idea was quite good.
"That's right. If you'd understood this earlier, things would have been much easier. Do you have any favorite celebrities? Maybe I can even get you an autograph. You should be happy about it. You don't know how many classmates will envy you." In his excitement, Zhao Bowen didn't notice that the others were looking at him as if he were an idiot. He was as self - confident as could be.
"Tell the public relations department to share a video for me. I've already sent the content to your email. Also, fire Zhao Bowen from the data department." Taking out her phone, Shen Nanyi said firmly and succinctly.
At first, Zhao Bowen didn't understand what Shen Nanyi meant. After he realized it, he looked at her with a sneer. "Who do you think you are? Do you think this company belongs to your family? It's not good for a young girl to watch too many TV shows."
Finally getting a chance, Zhao Bowen started to criticize Shen Nanyi severely, as if this could prove his own existence.
Just as Zhao Bowen was about to say something even more offensive, his phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, he quickly answered it with a smile on his face. "Manager Zhao, what's up so late?"
When he spoke, his voice was extremely obsequious, and his ability to change his expression was astonishing. The people around him felt a sense of disgust again. How had such an extreme person managed to survive until now?
Why did they suddenly have an urge to punch him?
"What?! Are you sure you've got the wrong person?! I haven't made any mistakes at work. Why?!" After the person on the other end of the phone said a few words, the smile on Zhao Bowen's face disappeared, and he tried hard to suppress his anger.
Unfortunately, the human resources manager on the other end of the phone didn't give Zhao Bowen a chance to speak. After telling him to come and handle his resignation the next day, the manager hung up the phone directly.
Not to mention that they usually didn't have much interaction. Even if they did, it was necessary to distance themselves now. The person was fired by the boss personally. The farther away, the better. The human resources manager, who had managed to reach this position, was a shrewd person and of course understood this truth.
"Hello?!" Listening to the dial tone on the phone, the veins on Zhao Bowen's hands bulged. He couldn't figure out what had gone wrong.
After a while, Zhao Bowen remembered Shen Nanyi standing beside him. His gaze on Shen Nanyi gradually turned to one of shock. Under his gaze, Shen Nanyi slowly said, "I forgot to tell you. Xingyi Media does belong to my family."
Shen Nanyi's words were like daggers stabbing into Zhao Bowen's heart. His pupils constricted, and he slumped to the ground.
Zhao Shibo, who had stopped throwing a tantrum, stared at Shen Nanyi in shock.
Suddenly, the room fell silent. The still air seemed to have stopped. Zhao Bowen felt his face burning. He was still thinking about whether there was any way to salvage the situation.
"It's getting late. I'll have my lawyer send you the specific compensation amount tomorrow. You can leave now." Shen Nanyi really didn't want to see Zhao Bowen anymore, so she issued an order to evict him.
"No, wait. I didn't break those things. It was him. He broke them. You should go after him, not me. It has nothing to do with me!" After thinking for a moment, Zhao Bowen shifted his gaze to Zhao Shibo.
The situation had developed to this point, and it was obvious that he was going to lose his job. But he wanted to save as much money as possible.
Between money and Zhao Shibo, Zhao Bowen didn't even think twice before choosing the former.
Even though Shen Nanyi knew that Zhao Bowen was shameless, she was still shocked by his cold - bloodedness when she heard his choice.
"What did you say? I've raised you for so many years, and now you want me to take the blame?! I'm your father!" Zhao Shibo, who had been holding back his anger, suddenly exploded. He rushed towards Zhao Bowen and slapped him hard.
This slap was delivered with full force, and the sound was extremely clear. There was even an echo in the living room.
Zhao Bowen was also a bit dazed from the sudden slap. After he came to his senses, he pushed Zhao Shibo to the ground. "You're already this old. You'll have food and shelter if you go to jail. What's wrong with that? Do you think your old bones are worth that much?"
Without any warning, the father - son duo, who had been on the same side just now, suddenly started arguing and even fighting. The situation gradually became chaotic.
If it were someone else fighting, even a couple of strangers on the street, the onlookers might have tried to stop them. But it was Zhao Bowen and his father. No one on the scene dared to step forward.
They were even afraid that the fight would spread to them and that they would be falsely accused by the father - son pair. So the people around quite tacitly took a few steps back to stay away from the "battlefield".
Shen Nanyi was even more calm. She sat on the sofa, calmly eating sunflower seeds as if she hadn't seen people pulling each other's hair and fighting for a long time. It seemed that the fight was quite intense.
These two were really using all their strength. They were completely entangled with each other.
