Chapter 6: Men Should Not Wimp Out!
1563 Words
I didn't know how my uncle knew I got a blow, perhaps the manager of the hotel told him. Those men loved to flatter my uncle, so of course they had to behave themselves for such a good occasion.
I knew that if I told him all the details of how Zhang Tian beat me, my uncle would break Zhang Tian into pieces. But the Zhang Tian's family should not be underestimated, and his father, Zhang Zhihao, was not an easy man to deal with.
Now, it was a critical time for Dongyang company's expansion in Europe and America. I didn't want to ruin Dongyang's reputation with my affair, nor did I want my uncle to offend the Zhang's family.
So I said to my uncle: "Uncle, I'm fine. It's just a slight injury. I'll handle this matter."
Over the years my uncle had been like a father to me. As soon as he heard me say that, he got angry :"You brat, don't you think I don't know what kind of a beating you got from that guy of Zhang. Don't be afraid. I'm here to back you up. If this happens to you again, just fight with him. Men should not wimp out!"
With uncle's words, I had an idea of the bottom line in my heart, but I didn't dare highly publicized to seek revenge on Zhang Tian, because I didn't want to cause any trouble. Especially I didn't want my uncle to offend the Zhang's family because of me.
I was just said it was fine. There was definitely not be a next time, and if that happened, I wouldn't put up with it.
My uncle said it was right, that our Yu's family wasn't afraid of the Zhang's family.
After I hang up the phone with my uncle, I went back to the living room to see that Cheng Shasha was still on the phone with Zhang Tian with an impatient expression.
I sat a little closer to her before I heard her say, "Okay, I'll see you tonight."
After that, Cheng Shasha hang up the phone and came back to the living room. I suddenly had a bad premonition. Although I didn't hear what Zhang Tian said, but heard Cheng Shasha's reply, I felt that Zhang Tian definitely didn't have good intentions again.
As soon as Cheng Shasha returned I asked her, "Did Zhang Tian make any excessive demands on you again?"
Cheng Shasha hung her head down and didn't say anything. I couldn't help but yell, " Asshole! Shasha, don't consent to him, he'll definitely have designs on you."
It was only then Cheng Shasha told me that after she broke up with me, Zhang Tian started courting her, but she never accepted Zhang Tian. Until now Zhang Tian had been chasing her relentlessly, even went to her neighborhood gate to intercepted her several times.
After I heard that, I was extremely angry. I had no idea how Cheng Shasha managed to get through all those years.
I pulled her down and said to her, "Shasha, don't be afraid. If he harasses you again, you have to call the police."
Cheng Shasha shook her head and sighed: "It's useless to call the police. The police can't control it."
That seemed right. The Zhang's family was extremely rich. Zhang Tian's father, Zhang Zhihao, became wealthy by running a gaming hall and foot-washing club by himself. He had only moved into the business in the last two years, but he still had a great deal of prestige illegal and legal means.
I asked Cheng Shasha again, "Did he ask you go out again tonight?"
Cheng Shasha nodded, and I immediately said, "Don't go with him. I'll take you back tonight."
Cheng Shasha hurriedly waved her hand: "No, he'll be waiting for me in front of the gate of my residential quarters. I can't let him see you send me back."
"It doesn't matter. It's settled. I'll send you back and he won't dare do anything to me."
The reason why I dared to say this was that my uncle told me not to be afraid. He would help me behind my back. Of course, I didn't dare to be too presumptuous. I just wanted to see if there was any law in Zhang Tian's eyes!
Of course, on the other hand, I also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to have more interaction with Cheng Shasha.
Cheng Shasha still refused: "Chen Dong, thank you for your kindness to me, but you shouldn't mess with Zhang Tian. You can't win against him, and you're asking for death if you go to fight with him."
"Don't refuse me any more. It's done, I must take you home today. I'd like to see what he wants."
Finally, Cheng Shasha agreed to let me take her home. I asked Cheng Shasha to come with me to the office in the afternoon, as I had asked my uncle to send a message to the HR earlier.
The whole application process went smoothly and Cheng Shasha signed the contract with the company the same day. I just found out that Cheng Shasha applied for a job as a translator in the company's export sales department.
Well, she was our English representative of the class in high school at the time, and probably majored in English in college as well.
After being admitted, Cheng Shasha was obviously happy. She said she was right to ask for my help that she really applied for the job, and she was going to thank me for it.
I kept saying" it's nothing," but I was glad of it. Think about it, my previous goddess would work in my company, and I would been her boss since then. I couldn't tell how wonderful this feel was.
But I still hadn't told her I was the biggest shareholder in the company. I didn't mean to hide it from her. I just barely got a chance to explain it to her, but someday I would tell her.
The whole afternoon Cheng Shasha was going through the paperwork to join the company, and I stayed with her the whole time. It was soon evening, I promised to take her back today, and she agreed.
I drove my car to the office early to wait for her. As soon as she came out of the office, I immediately lowered the window and waved at her to get into the car.
When Cheng Shasha saw me driving such an expensive car, she was incredulous and asked me before she got into the car:"Chen Dong, why do you drive such a nice car? I've heard it is worth more than one million yuan!"
I was thinking about how to explain to her. Suddenly Cheng Shasha saw the branding materials of Dongyang Company on the dashboard. This materials was always kept in the car by uncle for convenience.
Cheng Shasha then asked me, "This is a company utility vehicle, is it?"
I immediately nodded and said yes, and Cheng Shasha said, "It's not a good idea for you to take the utility car out to take me home, is it? And how can you get to drive this car?"
I had to tell that our security department actually does part-time driver work as well, and it just so happened that I was on duty this week, so I had the car.
Cheng Shasha still said that it wasn't good, that if we were caught, it would have a bad influence on me and her.
I kept explaining that it was ok. If the company wanted to use the car, they would call me in advance.
After I said this, Cheng Shasha got on the car doubtfully. However, she was not very comfortable in the car. She was worried all the way, and told me not to drive her to the front of the block. She didn't want Zhang Tian to see me take her home.
I soon drove near the neighberhood where Cheng Shasha lived. From far away I saw Zhang Tian's modified BMW parked at the intersection.
When Cheng Shasha saw Zhang Tian's car, she insisted on getting off. No matter what I said, there was nothing I could do to her. I had to stop the car and Cheng Shasha immediately opened the door.
At the same time, Zhang Tian got out of the BMW in front of us. He saw Cheng Shasha getting out of my car. He took a few steps in front of Cheng Shasha, reached out and grabbed her arm then pointed to my car and asked: "Who the f*ck is this? Whose car did you come back in?"
I was still sitting in the car, so Zhang Tian didn't realize it was me. I didn't intend to get out of the car, because I didn't want to get into a tangle with Zhang Tian. Even though my uncle told me not to be afraid, that he'd back me up, I still wanted to make less trouble after seeing Cheng Shasha safely upstairs.
But the next moment I saw Zhang Tian pulling on Cheng Shasha's arm and she was struggling. I saw this one scene where I finally couldn't just watch. I opened the door and got out of the car.
"Zhang Tian, stop it!" I shouted with courage.
