Chapter 161: Sister-in-law Finds a Job
"Brother Wolf... Brother Wolf!"
The slap was powerful, and it completely stunned Yao Qiang, leaving him with a face full of disbelief.
It wasn't just Yao Qiang; even Li Qianfan and Meng Lin were equally shocked as they stared at Wu Lang. They had not expected Wu Lang to actually strike Yao Qiang.
The other underlings were equally astonished. Based on their understanding of Wu Lang, even if Yao Qiang had done something wrong, Wu Lang would first deal with the troublemaker before teaching his own people a lesson.
But now, Wu Lang had directly struck Yao Qiang, which was entirely out of character for him.
Others might not know the reason, but Ma Hao, who was nearby, understood it clearly. The Gang Edict was still missing, hidden somewhere by Hong Jiumei, and after a long fruitless search, their only hope lay with the blind man "provided for" by Hong Jiumei.
Wu Lang's actions were merely an attempt to get on good terms with Li Qianfan to find the Gang Edict; otherwise, this blind man would have been dead already.
"Brother Wolf, why did you hit me?"
Yao Qiang asked, his face full of shock.
"Hit you?" Wu Lang's face turned incredibly grim as he said, "I'm not killing you, which is already letting you off easy. Now apologize to Li Qianfan and Miss Meng Lin immediately, or else, I'll kill you!"
"Make me apologize?"
Yao Qiang was even more incredulous.
Seeing Yao Qiang's uncooperative attitude, Ma Hao swiftly stepped up to him, and without another word delivered another slap, bellowing, "Damn it, just apologize when you're told to. Quit your useless blabber! Do you know who he is, Hong Jiumei's brother!"
Hong Jiumei's brother?
A flash of panic crossed Yao Qiang's eyes. Having worked at Heavenly World for such a long time, how could he not know who Hong Jiumei was - that was the boss's daughter! Little did he expect this blind man to have such a connection.
No wonder Wu Lang struck him!
After understanding everything, Yao Qiang didn't say anything more. He immediately went up to Li Qianfan and said, "I'm sorry, I was blind to the great before me, I was wrong!"
"You should be apologizing to my sister-in-law." Li Qianfan's eyes hidden under sunglasses were filled with murderous intent as he coldly said. Continue your adventure with empire
Yao Qiang reacted quickly, bowed to Meng Lin and apologized, "Meng Lin, I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me."
"Qianfan, let's just leave this matter, let's hurry up and go,"
Meng Lin really didn't want to stay in that place any longer, so she gently tugged on Li Qianfan's arm.
Li Qianfan nodded slightly and said, "Brother Wolf, it was indeed inappropriate to cause trouble at your place like this, but this guy truly deserved it. I'll take you out for a meal sometime. My sister-in-law and I will take our leave now."
"Don't go."
Wu Lang quickly stopped Li Qianfan and smilingly said, "Earlier you mentioned, your sister-in-law came here looking for a job, let's sit down and talk about that, shall we?"
Having had trouble finding the Gang Edict, which had been keeping Wu Lang up at night to the point of insomnia, if he could keep Meng Lin working here, it would be easier to maintain a good relationship with Li Qianfan. Later, he could completely use some methods to make Li Qianfan wholeheartedly help him search for the whereabouts of the Gang Edict.
Li Qianfan snorted coldly and said, "With this guy working here, I'd rather not have my sister-in-law come."
Upon hearing this, Wu Lang immediately looked toward Yao Qiang and, without any hesitation, said, "Yao Qiang, you can scram. Starting from tomorrow, don't come to work here anymore, you're fired."
"What??"
Yao Qiang was completely dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that not only would he get his arm destroyed, but he would also lose his job. Once he snapped back to reality, he immediately apologized, "Brother Wolf, don't... don't fire me, please. I have my parents above and children below depending on my income. If you fire me, what will my family do?
I beg you, please don't fire me, I'll kowtow if that'll help."
As he spoke, Yao Qiang knelt directly on the ground.
"I'll count to three, get out of here immediately!"
in Wu Lang's eyes, Yao Qiang was merely a minor employee, not worthy of his attention. He thought it would be worthwhile if Yao Qiang's departure could secure Meng Lin a job here.
"Are you not leaving yet? Do you want to die?" Ma Hao glared at Yao Qiang and scolded him.
Although Yao Qiang was unwilling, he knew that decisions made by Wu Lang were hard to change. Lingering could likely cost him his life, so he immediately got up from the ground and left Heavenly World in a very embarrassed manner.
Then Wu Lang turned to Li Qianfan, smiling, "Now that this guy has been fired, let your sister-in-law work here. Now that Yao Qiang's position is vacant, your sister-in-law might as well fill it."
Upon hearing this, Li Qianfan was immediately tempted. If he remembered correctly, Yao Qiang's position was that of a Human Resources Manager, responsible for employee transfers and recruitment, certainly better than being a receptionist, wasn't it?
Moreover, the job wouldn't require dealing with those clients, so his sister-in-law wouldn't be harassed.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to be the Human Resources Manager?" asked Li Qianfan.
Meng Lin certainly did, as a manager's salary was much higher than that of a receptionist, but she hesitated, "I don't know if I can do it well."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to train you specifically, a monthly salary of fifty thousand, and there will be a bonus at the end of the year, probably about one million a year," Wu Lang said, with the corners of his mouth turning up as he stared at Meng Lin.
A yearly income of a million!
Meng Lin's heart skipped a beat. She had only wanted to find a simple job but had unexpectedly found one offering a yearly income of a million. After the surprise, she didn't hesitate much and nodded immediately, "I'm willing."
"Good, then come with me to complete the hiring procedures."
Wu Lang gave a slight smile, appearing very amiable.
After the group arrived at the office building, Wu Lang instructed Ma Hao to take Meng Lin to handle the hiring procedures and contract, while he took Li Qianfan to his office for tea.
Wu Lang's office was very large and luxuriously decorated, like a palace.
Seeing such a luxurious office, Li Qianfan felt a secret envy. Owning an office like this was definitely a pleasure.
"Qianfan, have some tea!"
Wu Lang pushed a steaming cup of tea towards Li Qianfan.
"Thank you," Li Qianfan said in thanks, then lifted the cup to his nose, and immediately, a unique aroma of tea entered his nostrils. A look of enjoyment appeared on his face, "Brother Wolf, this tea is really good."
"It was brought by a friend from afar. If you like it, feel free to take some with you when you leave."
Wu Lang smiled lightly, speaking very generously.
"Thank you, Brother Wolf, but there's no need. I don't usually like drinking tea." Li Qianfan declined Wu Lang's kind offer.
Wu Lang didn't say more, and started to urge Li Qianfan to drink tea.
After drinking several cups, Wu Lang's eyes subtly shifted as he asked, "How busy is Jiumei's massage parlor lately?"
"It's alright, there are quite a lot of customers," Li Qianfan responded.
"Ah... No matter how good the business is, it's just a part-time job for Jiumei. Has she ever told you that she's about to take over her little mother's role soon? She will become the boss of South Gate, and then, this Heavenly World will be just one of her many properties, and the massage parlor, whether it continues or not, will all be the same."
Having said this, Wu Lang's eyes were locked on Li Qianfan's face, as if trying to discern something.
