Chapter 969

Liu Gaoyi was deliberately flattering him. He wanted him to directly replace Melody Fox and sign a contract with the partner before obtaining the headquarters’ authorization. The truth was just as Liu Gaoyi had said. If he was lucky enough to sign the contract successfully, the company would not punish him on the surface.

But behind his back?

For a big company, it was taboo for the head of the branch company to be a local tyrant and not take the headquarters’ orders seriously.

It was obvious that if the chairman had any such thoughts, his position as the general manager would end.

After he took over, the person who would be helped up would definitely be that bastard Liu Gaoyi.

Moreover, this was already the best outcome.

If the contract failed, not only would he be the next Janet Murphy, but he would also be court-martialed!

No matter how much profit the company lost on this project, he, Shi Kai, had to make up for it!

Even if he, Shi Kai, handed over his life, it was impossible for him to make up for this huge hole!

What a treacherous and vicious Liu Gaoyi!

After Shi Kai figured out what kind of poison Liu Gaoyi was up to, he was so shocked that his back was covered in a layer of cold sweat.

If it was his first time interacting with Liu Gaoyi today and he did not know his original character and had not suffered many losses at his hands, he might really take the blame in a moment of panic!

When it came to this, it would be useless even if he regretted it!

Shi Kai’s mind was spinning, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists. He wished he could punch Liu Gaoyi directly!

Liu Gaoyi obviously didn’t know that Shi Kai, who was often at a disadvantage at his hands, had suddenly learned to be smart this time. He continued, “President Shi, I’m speaking from the bottom of my heart! Although I usually have some unexplainable misunderstandings with you, we’re still in the same company. When we encounter common difficulties, I’m definitely still on our side, right?”

“One of us?” Shi Kai laughed and repeated, “You treat me as one of us? Liu Gaoyi, you don’t treat me as one of us anymore. You treat me as a fool!”

Liu Gaoyi’s smile froze and he asked, “President Shi, why are you saying this? Why did you suddenly…”

“Liu Gaoyi, let me tell you, don’t think that I don’t know what’ s going on in your mind! Put away your vicious thoughts!” The smile on Liu Gaoyi’s face completely disappeared.

He also realized that Shi Kai had learned his lesson this time and saw through his scheme to reap the benefits. Liu Gaoyi narrowed his eyes slightly, then put on an innocent expression and said, “President Shi, I’m giving you an idea out of goodwill. You… why are you scolding me? You…”

He deliberately raised his voice, attracting everyone’s attention.

Originally, the rumors of the two of them not getting along had appeared for a long time. Now that everyone saw that the two of them were actually arguing, their gossipy hearts almost burned.

Shi Kai felt everyone’s gazes on him. He tried his best to suppress his anger and said in a low voice, “Scolding? I’m not scolding you. I’m just telling the truth! Didn’t you take the opportunity to instigate me to sign the contract? Don’t think I can’t tell! I, Shi Kai, am indeed not very smart, but I’m not completely a stupid pig!”

However, Shi Kai lowered his voice, but Liu Gaoyi deliberately made things worse.

His voice did not decrease at all. “President Shi, your words are really a little like ‘judging a gentleman’s stomach with your own narrow-mindedness’. I…, Liu Gaoyi, feel wronged!” “Aggrieved? What are you aggrieved about! Also, hurry up and lower your voice! Do you really want others to laugh at us?” Shi Kai lowered his voice and said.

“Of course, I feel wronged! If you don’t believe me, let everyone judge me!”

As Liu Gaoyi spoke, he did not give Shi Kai a chance to speak. He raised his arms and said loudly, “Everyone, help me judge. Mrs. Swanson ran away and did not dare to appear, so I took the initiative to give CEO Shi an idea. As the person in charge, he came to discuss the contract with the other company. However, he said that I was vicious and treated him as a fool…”

Everyone naturally did not think as much as Shi Kai. When they heard this, they sized up Shi Kai with complicated gazes, as if they were scolding him with their eyes that he should not be so “small-hearted”.

Liu Gaoyi struck while the iron was hot and continued, “I know that whether it’s President Shi or some of the old employees in the branch, they all have a problem with me because I’m an ‘airborne soldier’. But what I want to tell everyone is that since I’m here, I’m in the same boat as everyone. The company’s honor is my honor!

If anything happened to the company, would I have a good ending? Of course not! Therefore, everything I did was for myself and the company. How could I deliberately harm anyone?

“Everyone in our branch company knows the importance of this project. That’s why I suggested it to CEO Shi.

“I know it’s not compliant, but Mrs. Swanson ran away at the last minute. Is there any other way besides this?

“I can’t possibly go past CEO Shi and talk to the other company, right? If the other party finds out, won’t they think that we don’t value them?”

His inflammatory words made the employees nod one after another. There were even a few who were on Shi Kai’s side.

“Shut up! Liu Gaoyi, you’re twisting right and wrong, you bastard! Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?!” “I’m doing a good job. How could I be struck by lightning? On the other hand, CEO Shi, ask yourself honestly. Don’t I work hard for the company every day?”

“Y…-you-“

Shi Kai was so angry that his temples were throbbing. He had a feeling that his blood was surging and he could not pass through.

As Liu Gaoyi spoke more and more, this feeling became stronger and stronger, almost suffocating.

Assistant Hou felt that something was wrong. He quickly took out the antihypertensive medicine from Shi Kai’s pocket and fed it to him.

In the end, the effect of the medicine was not that fast. Shi Kai’s face was pale, and he could not breathe smoothly as he held his chest.

“President Shi, President Shi, don’t scare me. Say

something. Where are you feeling unwell? Why don’t I call an ambulance…”

Shi Kai opened his mouth, wanting to tell him that he could not breathe, but his words seemed to be blocked by a ball of fire in his chest. He could not speak at all.

A sense of despair and suffocation grew stronger and stronger.

Shi Kai even felt that he might really be angered to death by Liu Gaoyi this time.

However, Liu Gaoyi did not even look at Shi Kai’s situation and continued to say his provocative words.

“President Shi? President Shi?”

Assistant Hou supported Shi Kai and kept calling his name. Only then did the people who had been attracted by Liu Gaoyi look over at Shi Kai.

“What’s wrong with CEO Shi? His expression doesn’t seem right.”

“I don’t know. Is he angry? CEO Shi has always been honest. I don’t think he’s the kind of person Manager Liu said…”

In the meeting room, everyone started to waver from believing in Liu Gaoyi. Some people even started to call an ambulance for Shi Kai.

Liu Gaoyi noticed the change in everyone’s mentality and was annoyed.
