Chapter 27 How did they end up with such an unlucky son?
"Dad?! You hit me?!" Zhou Shuo's voice suddenly turned hysterical as he finally came to his senses from the situation.
Even his mother couldn't bear to hit him! He's never suffered this kind of injustice in his entire life!
"It's all your fault, you bitch! I'll kill you!" Zhou Shuo, of course, didn't dare to hit his own father, so he could only vent his anger on Jiang Chengcheng! As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Shuo raised his fist, pretending to teach Jiang Chengcheng a lesson!
"You unfilial son! Apologize right now! Are you trying to drive your father to his death?!" Seeing Zhou Shuo's still arrogant attitude, Manager Zhou was furious. He thought to himself, "How could I, a man of my intelligence, have such an ungrateful son? It's all because of the women in my family who spoil him!" With that, he kicked Zhou Shuo to the ground!
"Huh? Are you kidding me? Didn't you provoke me first and then call for reinforcements? What? You're allowed to be arrogant, but I'm not allowed to fight back? You get angry just because you can't win?" Jiang Chengcheng sneered and moved closer to Zhou Shuo, who was kneeling on the ground, without any fear.
"Dad?! You want me to apologize? Let me tell you! I'd rather die than apologize today! This kind of person doesn't deserve my apology? If you have the guts, just kill me!" Even though he was pinned to the ground by Manager Zhou, Zhou Shuo was still unconvinced and roared angrily with a ferocious expression.
"Oh? What's wrong? You look like you're about to make a painful decision. I didn't do anything to you, and I didn't even ask you to apologize. Why are you so agitated? Apologize? Who are you going to apologize to? Me? Did I say I wanted to hear your apology? Get up. It's so embarrassing to kneel on the ground in public like this. It looks like I'm bullying you!" Hearing this, Jiang Chengcheng wasn't angry at all. Instead, she chuckled and helped Zhou Shuo up with a smile. However, to anyone with a discerning eye, that smile seemed to carry a hint of murderous intent!
Upon hearing this, Manager Zhou glanced at Jiang Chengcheng's face and turned pale with fright. He knelt down on the ground with a thud, his lips trembling and cold sweat pouring down his face!
It’s over! It's all over!
If Jiang Chengcheng had beaten up Zhou Shuo to vent her anger, Manager Zhou wouldn't be so scared!
Freed from Manager Zhou's restraints, Zhou Shuo stood up from the ground, his attitude still arrogant.
"Dad! Did you hear that? She said I don't need to apologize!"
Those around who witnessed the whole thing, upon hearing this fool's statement, shook their heads in disbelief. How could such an unlucky creature have been born?
"You! You! You! I'll beat you to death..." Upon hearing Zhou Shuo's words, Manager Zhou jumped up from the ground, regretting that he hadn't disciplined his son properly back then!
He was about to slap Zhou Shuo when, halfway through his sentence, he suddenly felt his vision go black, a spurt of blood gushed from his mouth, and then he fainted from anger!
This is probably due to extreme anger!
When the onlookers saw that Manager Zhou had fainted, they swarmed around him, including some medical students who immediately rushed to his aid.
"Is he angry?"
"Tsk tsk tsk! Definitely! If I had such an unlucky son, I'd be furious!"
"That's right! Even as a bystander, I felt like slapping him! You're just asking for trouble, and you don't even have any sense of propriety!"
"Hey! Where's that little girl? She's gone!"
Seeing that a crowd was gathering around her, Jiang Chengcheng didn't want to get entangled with them any longer. She made a phone call to Zhao Feng and then withdrew from the crowd.
"Hey, Zhao Feng, help me fire Manager Zhou from Wanyuan. Also, I don't want to see Zhou Shuo and his son in any of my businesses, whether it's buying or selling or applying for jobs." Jiang Chengcheng's expression was icy, and she didn't even bother with her usual polite words.
"Okay!" Sensing the anger in Jiang Chengcheng's voice, Zhao Feng didn't ask any further questions. What was there to misunderstand? These two must have offended his boss.
the other side.
Not long after Jiang Chengcheng left, Manager Zhou finally regained consciousness thanks to everyone's efforts to save him.
Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the people around also left in twos and threes, leaving only Zhou Shuo and his three companions, Manager Zhou, and the former boss of Wanyuan.
The former owner of Wanyuan, seeing that Manager Zhou had woken up, gave him a meaningful look before frowning and speaking.
"Old Zhou, you're something else! Such a smooth talker, and you've raised this brat! Remember to teach him a lesson when you get home, show him he's got eyes and ears. He doesn't even know who he can mess with and who he can't, he'll get into big trouble sooner or later!"
Remembering that General Manager Zhao from CITIC Tower had personally called him before, Xue Yuan had a gut feeling that this kid was definitely not simple! He was probably from some powerful family.
"What... what do you mean by that?" Manager Zhou looked apprehensive upon hearing this. The other party was just the boss of Wanyuan; at most, he would be fired, and he could simply be relocated.
Upon hearing this, Xue Yuan shook his head, then spoke again.
"You've been following me for so long, don't blame me for not warning you. This call was made personally by General Manager Zhao of CITIC Tower. And judging from what General Manager Zhao said, he also has to act according to the other party's wishes. That's all I know. You can decide the rest yourself!"
After saying this, Xue Yuan turned and left, not wanting to have any further involvement with Manager Zhou.
Watching Xue Yuan's retreating figure, Manager Zhou felt utterly hopeless. If what he said was true, an industry blackout would be the least of his worries…
The four people who hadn't taken Jiang Chengcheng seriously before all looked fearful upon hearing this.
"What? Will she retaliate against us? What should we do?"
"It's all your fault, Zhou Shuo! If you hadn't said you were going to tease her, we wouldn't have messed with someone we shouldn't have!"
"Don't get me wrong! You were driving! What does this have to do with me!"
"Wasn't this all your idea?!"
The moment they realized they might cause trouble for their families, they immediately started shifting the blame onto each other, completely abandoning any semblance of their previous unity and righteous indignation.
However, Jiang Chengcheng, who had already left, had no way of knowing any of this. She had just changed into a new outfit and hadn't gone far when her phone suddenly rang.
It's already 9 PM, who would call at this hour?
Jiang Chengcheng glanced at her phone screen.
Zhang Wangyue?
"Hey, Mr. Jiang! I have great news for you! The Douyin app is almost finished! In less than half a month, our Douyin app will be available for launch!" Zhang Wangyue's voice on the other end of the phone was very excited, showing that she was extremely confident about the launch of Douyin.
That makes sense, though. With billions of views in the future, how could they not be confident?
"Really? That's great! You two have worked so hard!" Jiang Chengcheng was equally excited upon hearing this.
After all, this means that I can finally say goodbye to the era of boring and awkward conversations!
In her previous life, watching short videos was one of her few hobbies that helped her pass the time. Since arriving in 2013, without Douyin (TikTok) to kill time, Jiang Chengcheng always felt uneasy. Now, she was finally looking forward to the release of the Douyin app!
