Chapter 1339 With a defiant air, Shi Xiaomeng confronts the boss! (Day 5 of Sunday/Saturday, requesting monthly votes!)

"Shi Xiaomeng, how dare you speak like that!"

Hu, the boss from the same hometown, was taken aback when he saw Shi Xiaomeng revealing his true colors. He never expected that his usually honest and easily fooled fellow villager would suddenly be so sharp and straightforward.

And coincidentally, his dark thoughts were exposed.

Although he had no grudge against Shi Xiaomeng, his fellow townsman, and although this wasn't a foreign country, and it shouldn't be a case of "fellow townsmen meeting and shooting each other in the back," this was Beijing in the movie world, which was actually no different from being abroad.

It's all about money!

It's all about capital!

They're all just showing off their wealth!

As long as it's profitable, you should stop at nothing!

Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou don't believe in tears!

They have no faith in morality or sentiment!

They can even disregard the law!

They only believe in bright red banknotes!
Therefore, Mr. Hu, the boss from the same hometown, did not think he had done anything wrong. However, this was not a foreign country, and even abroad, many things are easier to do than to say. Being directly exposed by others, especially by the person involved, would still make the wrongdoer very angry.

How dare you repeat what I did exactly?
“You should know who I am! How have I treated you all these years? You came to my company right after graduation, and I treated you like one of my own, carefully nurturing you and making you capable of handling things independently at such a young age. I was even planning to promote you to manager.”

Is this what you call having a grudge against you and trying to force you into a corner?

You lost the design draft yourself, causing a major problem at work. I had no choice but to punish you. Is there a problem with that?

As for what you're saying about being in a desperate situation or not.

You insisted on buying a house at this time, and without enough savings, you took a gamble and paid a deposit, putting yourself in such danger. Did I force you to do this, or did I advise you to do this?

neither!
You chose to do it yourself!

You only have yourself to blame!

At this point, he tactically picked up his cup, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and glanced at Shi Xiaomeng, who remained expressionless and unmoved. He cursed inwardly, wondering what was wrong with this silly boy. Had he really been awakened by the desperate situation and become harder to fool?

"Of course, the law is not without human sentiment, not to mention that we are superiors and subordinates, and fellow villagers. I deeply sympathize with your current predicament and want to help you."

But I'm giving you a chance; you have to prove yourself!

"Mr. Hu, what opportunity have you given me?" Shi Xiaomeng thought to himself that things were getting to the point, and asked calmly.

"You've always had a chance." Seeing that Shi Xiaomeng was still willing to listen, the fellow villager and boss, Mr. Hu, was delighted and once again used the same old probing phrase.

"In our line of work, what we need most is connections! You have such great connections, but you're being coy and unwilling to use them, which has left you in this mess and predicament. Who can you blame?"

"You mean a madman?" Shi Xiaomeng asked to confirm.

"Yes! It's Young Master Cheng from Dade Company!" The fellow villager and boss, Mr. Hu, simply laid his cards on the table: "If you can secure their annual advertising contract, I'll make you the design manager, with a bonus of 200,000 yuan and an annual salary of 300,000 yuan!"
When the time comes, if you want to buy a house or something, it will be a breeze.

A salary of 300,000 a year is enough for you to bring your childhood sweetheart over and enjoy a life of luxury!
All you need to do is give your good buddy Cheng a heads-up. I know what you're thinking!
Isn't it just that they think our company is too small and not good enough for a large listed company like Dade Company?
But even the biggest design companies started as small companies.

Besides, Dade Company belongs to Young Master Cheng's family, so it doesn't matter who they work for.

If I do it for you then, do you really think you're incapable of doing it?

Do you really think you're inferior to others in some way?

"I'm no less skilled than anyone else!" Shi Xiaomeng nodded, but before his fellow villager boss, Mr. Hu, could happily applaud, his tone changed, causing Mr. Hu's face to darken.

"But I had such poor judgment! How could I have believed your lies back then! I thought you were from my hometown and a senior to me, so you wouldn't harm me. I worked hard for you for three years, lost 10 pounds, and generated 900 million in profit for you."

But you kept delaying the 8 yuan bonus you promised me, and now you've found an opportunity to just wipe it all off.

And you're acting like I've wronged you!
But that 8 yuan bonus is rightfully mine. If you give it to me again, I won't have any trouble now.

The one thing I never expected was that you could be this bad!
How could my fellow villager be so wicked?
Now you're talking about a 20 yuan bonus and a 30 yuan annual salary, but you're only making empty promises about an 8 yuan bonus. You're not willing to actually give it to anyone. Do you still have any credibility?
I didn't believe you would be so wicked as to deliberately kick me when I was down and drive me into a corner!

But you said it was Da De's annual advertising, and that I could get Young Master Cheng to give us the advertising through a simple call. It's impossible to get such a big order through normal channels. I knew then that you were deliberately trying to force me into a corner!
Yes!
I didn't force you to buy a house, but you know that after I fell into trouble, you deliberately canceled the 8 yuan bonus that was supposed to be given to me!
Mr. Hu, can you tell me, is money so important that you would disregard our hometown ties, disregard my three years of hard work and dedication for you, and disregard my willingness to continue working for you and be your right-hand man to help you grow the company after you give me some carrots? Why do you have to force me like this?
You always use Xiao Sun as an example, trying to educate me!

He truly lived up to what you said: that men doing marketing must be utterly unprincipled and as lowly as eunuchs!
But don't you think about it? He has no bottom line or principles, and he's willing to suffer humiliation as a eunuch in this era. What's in it for him?
He's just after money!

But how much money would be enough?

Thousands of years of history have recorded countless stories of eunuchs. Their physical defects led to psychological abnormalities. Their greed for money was insatiable, and their methods were utterly unscrupulous.

Once they gain power, they can even depose and install emperors, and assassinate them!

You're not even an emperor, how dare you think you can control such a person and have him serve you instead of turning against you?

Are you dreaming too much?
Also!

You even delayed paying me the 900 yuan bonus I earned of 8 million, and finally just made up an excuse to wipe it away. This kind of short-sightedness is something that history and reality have told you, but you simply ignore it.

Is it...

Yes!

You kept telling me that eunuch and prostitute's successful marketing theory, speaking with such certainty. Now you've become so greedy and short-sighted. It feels like you've actually put your own theory into practice.
Or rather, is that actually a true reflection of your journey over the years?

"Were you the same person who played Sun back then?"

"..." At first, the fellow villager and boss, Mr. Hu, was still thinking about continuing to fool Shi Xiaomeng, but as he listened, his face became more and more unpleasant.

When Shi Xiaomeng said that he was just like the current Xiao Sun back then, and kept praising him as a successful role model for Shi Xiaomeng, Shi Xiaomeng's face turned ashen with anger, and he trembled with rage, completely losing his composure.

Because this is practically an insult that he was also a eunuch.

What's even more infuriating is that lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharpest knife.

He really was... damn it!
