Xiao Zheng listened to the murmurs of the people around him, and to the two aunties in front, crying out to heaven and earth, and he instantly understood: soone was trying to fra him.
They wanted to tarnish his reputation, paint him as a crook who swindled hard-earned money.
Once this rumor solidified, not to ntion being fired by the company, just the gossip alone would follow him for a lifeti, impossible to shake off.
An extrely vicious and ruthless strategy!
However, Xiao Zheng just smiled.
Then, he calmly made his way to the front, where the two aunties stood.
Those who knew Xiao Zheng, upon seeing this scene, were stunned, questioning his actions.
If Xiao Zheng had really swindled these people’s money, shouldn’t he be running away by now? Why did he dare to step forward to the front, what was he planning to do?
Leng Ruobing frowned slightly, as did Mo Anna and Mu Yiqing, all watching nervously from the sidelines.
"Who owes you money?"
Xiao Zheng walked up to the two aunties, asking with a smile.
"Xiao Zheng, the damned, the accursed Xiao Zheng, swindled our life savings, and vanished without a trace!"
Seeing soone finally co forward, one of the aunties perked up with energy and shouted loudly.
"Oh?"
At this ti, Xiao Zheng glanced at the banners these people were holding.
"Xiao Zheng, settling debts is natural justice, give back our hard-earned money."
Whoever had written it had done so sloppily, mistakenly writing "Xiao" as "Xiao," and even mistaking "debt" as a combination of "person" and "responsibility."
Realizing this mistake, Xiao Zheng’s heart suddenly grew clear on so matters, and he beca confident. He then told the two aunties, "You’ve co to the wrong place; there’s no one called Xiao Zheng in the company."
"Hm?"
The crowd standing in front of the company building, upon hearing what Xiao Zheng said, was stunned.
No Xiao Zheng? But he’s standing right in front of these two aunties!
Isn’t this just blatant lying?
Imdiately, many people’s faces showed a look of contempt, along with disgust.
"I thought this Xiao Zheng would co up with so kind of clever plan, but it turns out he’s resorting to such a foolish thod, incredibly stupid."
"Yes, there are quite a few in the company who know Xiao Zheng; does he really think we will cover up for him?"
"It’s not necessarily the case, after all, it involves the reputation of the company. One wouldn’t want a rotten apple to spoil the whole barrel, perhaps Xiao Zheng’s thod might actually work!"
"Humph, if he is really planning to use this thod, then I’ll despise him even more!"
Everyone was discussing amongst themselves.
Of course, they all dared not to speak loudly, whispering instead; after all, Leng Ruobing was right there!
So, the aunties shouting loudly in the distance couldn’t hear clearly what these people were saying.
At this mont, all eyes focused on Xiao Zheng and the two aunties.
Upon hearing Xiao Zheng’s words, the two aunties were first stunned, then their faces turned fierce and vicious as they shouted loudly, "Impossible, Xiao Zheng is here, in this company, I absolutely did not rember wrong."
"Right, what kind of heartless company is this, thinking we can be so easily deceived? Just with this, you think you can drive us away? Settling debts is natural justice!"
Both aunties displayed their talent for making a scene, arguing vehently right there.
Many mbers of the company watching this spectacle felt their faces grow hot with embarrassnt, as if they themselves were deceiving the two aunties.
After all, people, no matter where they are, naturally develop a sense of collective honor, and the excellent treatnt provided by Qianqiu Group further strengthened their sense of belonging.
Now, seeing Xiao Zheng’s behavior, everyone believed he was spouting nonsense and tarnishing the company’s reputation. Many faces already displayed angry expressions.
"That Xiao Zheng, he’s detestable, utterly shaless!"
"How could our Qianqiu Company have soone like this!"
Many were angrily denouncing him.
However, Leng Ruobing, Mo Anna, Mu Yiqing, and others remained silent.
They believed Xiao Zheng wouldn’t do such a thing.
"Xiao Zheng, what in the world are you thinking?" Mo Anna was anxious, thinking to herself.
And it was at this mont with a faint smile on his face, Xiao Zheng said, "Since you all say Xiao Zheng must be in this company, then, you must recognize him, right?"
"Of course, even if he turned to ashes, I would recognize that man!"
"Xiao Zheng cheated us out of our hard-earned money, how could we not recognize his face!"
The two aunties, after hearing Xiao Zheng question them like that, first were stunned, then firmly said.
"Ha ha ha..."
Xiao Zheng laughed.
Then he turned around to the crowd inside the company and said, "You all heard that clearly, didn’t you? These two people, they both know Xiao Zheng, they would recognize him even if he turned to ashes!"
Whoosh!
Instantly, there was a collective uproar.
Standing right in front of those two aunties was Xiao Zheng, wasn’t it?
How could these two aunties not show any reaction when they saw Xiao Zheng standing right in front of them?
The crowd was not made of fools; they instantly understood that the two aunties were lying!
"That guy, really scared there. I actually thought he stole soone’s money," Mo Anna patted her proudly voluptuous chest, relieved.
"I just knew it, Brother Xiao is not that sort of person. Brother Xiao is righteous, always ready to stand up for others; he must have provoked so despicable adversary again!" Mu Yiqing clenched her fists, her little face excited.
"So, it was a fra-up, but, Xiao Zheng doesn’t seem to have offended anyone lately, who orchestrated this whole act?" The glint in Leng Ruobing’s eyes was icy.
"Damn fools!"
At that mont, rembering their own behavior from earlier, the people in front of the company building all felt ashad; without knowing the full story, they had discussed Xiao Zheng right there, labeling him a contemptible scoundrel. Consequently, they cursed the two aunties a few tis.
"Hey, why do you insult people like that?"
"What, not paying back what you owe and still acting righteous, is that it?"
The voice that called the aunties fools was quite loud, so the two aunties heard it right away. Then they both beca excited, their eyebrows furrowed angrily as if they were the Great General, and they imdiately began to berate the crowd.
However, people saw those two aunties as if they were watching fools.
At this ti, Xiao Zheng, with a smile, said, "Weren’t you looking for Xiao Zheng? You said you would recognize him even if he turned to ashes. But look, I am Xiao Zheng."
Xiao Zheng pointed at himself, still smiling.
"What?"
The two aunties, upon hearing Xiao Zheng’s words, were imdiately stunned.
Their eyes widened, disbelieving.
"You... you are Xiao Zheng!"
