How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 298 For your own good

Xia Zhengbiao watched Assistant Yang leave and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

call!
I was almost used as a gun by the other party again.

He earns a security guard's salary, but is asked to do the work of a bodyguard. Isn't this bullying?
How much does it cost to hire a security guard? How much does it cost to hire a bodyguard?

These security guards are so worthless that they do illegal things just for a few thousand dollars, aren't they?

Thinking of the one thousand yuan salary that was deducted from him by Assistant Yang last night, Xia Zhengbiao was furious. If the boss wanted the moon in the sky, and they, the security guards, didn't get it, would their salaries also be deducted?

That was a thousand yuan. The money for the child to go to Pizza Hut Happy Meal next month was deducted so easily. At this moment, he even imagined his son's disappointed expression in his mind.

Damn capitalists, I will never forgive you!
Just as Xia Zhengbiao was gritting his teeth, the company door opened with a "click" and then the chairman walked in from outside. The Patek Philippe on his wrist sparkled in the sunlight.

"Hello, Chairman!"

Xia Zhengbiao immediately stood up straight, raised his head and chest, swept away the resentful look on his face, and instantly revived to full health.

No matter how dissatisfied you are, you still have to continue working.

Alas, these days, which boss is not hateful?
Seeing the chairman walk past him without any reaction, Xia Zhengbiao suddenly got excited and said, "Chairman, Mr. Zhang Wen came today and said that there is no Life Essence right now. This means that even if the plan was successful last night, we might not get the Life Essence. So, can you please not deduct my salary?"

But after saying this, Xia Zhengbiao regretted it. If he lost his salary for a thousand yuan, wouldn't it be a loss?

But then again, he came here to make money to support his family, not to be cheap labor for these capitalists. A salary of a few thousand yuan is something he can earn anywhere.

At worst, you can deliver food or express, at least it won’t be illegal.

When Cui Heng heard the words "Life Essence," he immediately stopped and turned to look at the security guard who had just spoken. He asked anxiously, "What did you say? No Life Essence?"

Xia Zhengbiao was startled by the chairman's reaction and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes."

Inwardly, I was secretly complaining, "Why doesn't the chairman understand? Isn't the point that there's no Life Essence? It's clearly stated that they shouldn't deduct my salary, please."

"Where is Expert Zhang? Where is he?" Cui Heng took two steps forward, stood in front of the security guard, and looked at him straight in the eyes.

"He, he's gone." Xia Zhengbiao pointed outside the door.

Cui Heng raised an eyebrow, then revealed a hint of disappointment. He was about to return to his office when, as if remembering something, he looked at the security guard and asked, "You just said that even if our plan succeeded last night, we might not get the Life Essence... What did you mean? What plan? Did you go to Expert Zhang to buy the Life Essence?"

"what?"

Xia Zhengbiao blinked, a little confused for a moment.

Is the chairman so busy that he's lost in thought? Has he even forgotten what happened yesterday?

"Chairman, didn't you ask our security team to steal the life essence from Expert Zhang yesterday?" Xia Zhengbiao asked.

"What?" Cui Heng was stunned. He looked at Xia Zhengbiao's face curiously and asked with a frown, "Did you drink at noon? What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ask your security team to steal the Life Essence?"

This time it was Xia Zhengbiao's turn to be stunned. After a while, he stammered, "Yes, it was Assistant Yang who ordered it."

"Assistant Yang?"

There was a hint of surprise in Cui Heng's eyes. He clearly remembered asking Assistant Yang to buy the Life Essence a few days ago, and told the other party to buy it no matter what the price was. How come when he came to the security team, it became like stealing the Life Essence?

Something is wrong. There must be something wrong here.

He pulled the security guard into the security room nearby and said to him, "Tell me everything that happened yesterday in detail, including what Assistant Yang told you."

Xia Zhengbiao was frightened by the chairman's serious expression. He swallowed hard before saying, "Yesterday at noon, Assistant Yang came to our Captain Ma's office and dropped off a document about Expert Zhang. Assistant Yang asked us to go to Zhang's house and steal the Life Essence..."

"Captain Ma divided us into two groups. One group went to Expert Zhang's art exam training center, and the other group followed Expert Zhang. Later, when the first group didn't find the Life Essence at the art exam training center, the second group happened to discover that Expert Zhang was delivering Life Essence to a client last night. So the two groups reunited and tried to steal the Life Essence from Expert Zhang's car..."

Next, Xia Zhengbiao told the whole story of how he tried to intercept Expert Zhang last night, how his salary was deducted by Assistant Yang after his failure, and how Expert Zhang had just come to the company.

Of course, the part about being thrown into the vegetable field was not mentioned, it was too embarrassing.

Those who know him know that Expert Zhang has amazing fighting skills, while those who don’t think he is just filling in the security team.

Cui Heng listened quietly without saying a word, but his expression became increasingly ugly, gloomy and a little scary, like the dark clouds rolling before a storm.

"Chairman, this is what happened. You..." Xia Zhengbiao originally wanted to state his request, asking if his salary could be spared, but after seeing the chairman's gloomy face, he swallowed the rest of his words.

"I understand." Cui Heng stood up and turned to leave the security room. However, he stopped a short distance away and turned back to the security guard, saying, "Don't worry, the finance department won't deduct your salary."

Xia Zhengbiao was shocked, his mood was like riding a roller coaster, and he quickly bowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Chairman, thank you, Chairman."

Cui Heng didn't say anything else and walked straight to the elevator.

The special elevator slowly rose and stopped not long after.

Cui Heng walked out and soon saw Assistant Yang sitting outside the office. Thinking of what the security guard had just said, his eyes immediately became cold.

"Hello, Chairman." Yang Muyan stood up as usual, holding a stack of documents in his hand, and said respectfully, "These are the documents delivered at noon. Please take a look."

Cui Heng stood still, looking coldly at the assistant who had followed him for six years, his eyes filled with disappointment and anger.

If there was a problem at work, he could forgive the other party, but the life essence was related to his wife's health, and the other party, as an assistant, not only did not follow his instructions, but instead made things worse. This was absolutely unforgivable!

When Yang Muyan met the chairman's gaze, he couldn't help but shudder all over, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

That look seemed to kill him.

what's the situation?
Yang Muyan was extremely panicked. The chairman was fine when he left at noon. It was only two hours ago. How come he seemed like a different person?
Could it be that Madam’s condition has worsened?
But what does this have to do with him? It wasn't him who made his wife's body like this.

and many more!

Could it be that the chairman found out that I arranged for my cousin to work in the company?

Or maybe the news of him sleeping with a female colleague from the administration department reached the chairman's ears?

No, and these are not big things.

"Dong, Chairman, is there something I haven't done well?" Yang Muyan asked proactively.

There were so many questions that he could only ask proactively. "Who told you to take the initiative to steal the Life Essence?" Cui Heng asked coldly.

Over the years, he has always hoped to cure his wife's health. No matter whether it is folk remedies or Western medicine, no matter whether it is domestic or foreign, he will not give up even if there is a glimmer of hope.

But now?
This assistant actually shattered his last bit of hope. How could he not be angry?
Yang Muyan was shocked and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that the chairman actually knew about this.

Who leaked the news?
Could it be the security team?

He actually bypassed him and came directly to the chairman, damn it!

"Chairman, I don't want to do this either, but the essence of life is simply not available on the market, so I have no choice but to resort to this last resort." Yang Muyan defended himself.

"Since it's not available on the market, why don't you go to Expert Zhang to buy it?" Cui Heng asked coldly.

"I, I think this person is unreliable and has bad intentions. He can obviously do it himself, but he only makes a few bottles each time and allows the outside world to hype up the price of the Life Essence to 10 million per bottle. I think he is the one behind this hype, and the Life Essence is not as magical as the outside world says." Yang Muyan said indignantly.

"Whether it's hype or not, whether it's effective or not, it has nothing to do with you. When will you be able to make the decision for me?"

"Chairman, I know you're eager to save your wife, but some people will take advantage of that to cheat you out of your money. Haven't you been cheated enough times over the years?"

"Why, not only do you want to make decisions for me, but you also want to control my money?"

"No, no, how could I dare? Please believe me, I really do this for your own good." Yang Muyan said with red eyes, looking sincere.

"Hmph, there are always some people who, under the guise of 'doing this for your own good,' dictate other people's lives and impose their will on them. I hate people like that the most," Cui Heng said angrily. "Assistant Yang, am I being too indulgent with you, making you forget your place? Since you have so many ideas, do you want me to give you the chairmanship?"

"No, no!" Yang Muyan shook his head hurriedly. Cold sweat had soaked his shirt, and his heart was filled with regret.

If he had known that the boss would be so angry, he would never have arranged for the security team to steal. It was the boss's money being spent anyway, so why would he save a thing for the boss?
Of course, he also has some selfish motives here.

The reason why he asked the security team to steal was actually to make some money and report the life essence to his boss. One bottle was worth 10 million, and if he stole a few bottles, he could retire directly and not have to struggle anymore. But who would have thought that they would mess it up in the end.

Cui Heng looked at Assistant Yang in front of him with disgust in his eyes.

This time, it was the security guard who told him that made him know about this matter. If the security guard had not told him, he would have been kept in the dark his entire life and would not even know how he had offended Expert Zhang.

And maybe, apart from this incident, Assistant Yang also made many decisions for him that he was not aware of.

This is what he can't tolerate the most.

As the chairman of the company, if the decisions made cannot be communicated accurately, it will have a very big impact and loss on the company.

"Go and apologize to Expert Zhang right now. If he can forgive you, I can give you a chance. If not, pack up your things and get out of the company." Cui Heng said bluntly.

In fact, regardless of whether the other party would be forgiven by Expert Zhang, he had already sentenced Assistant Yang to death in his heart.

So what if I followed you for six years?
Can you pretend to obey him and make decisions for him for six years?
Perhaps it was these six years that made the other party forget his original identity.

"Okay, okay!" Yang Muyan nodded repeatedly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and said confidently: "Please rest assured, Chairman, I will go and apologize to Expert Zhang right now."

After saying that, he put the documents in his hand on the desk and hurried towards the elevator.

Cui Heng looked at Assistant Yang's back, snorted coldly, then returned to the office and pressed the internal phone on the desk.

"Assign me a new assistant."

"Yes, Chairman."

Cui Heng sat on a chair, his eyes fixed on the photo on the table. It was a picture of him, his wife, and their child. His wife was gentle and beautiful, though her face was a little pale...

This is a photo from ten years ago.

Although my wife now has a professional medical team, her health is getting worse day by day and she is so thin that it makes me feel distressed.

Thinking of the rumors about the essence of life that he heard at a dinner party a few days ago, he suddenly stood up from his chair.

No, he must go there in person today and meet that expert Zhang.

……

Yang Muyan drove out of the company, honking the horn all the way, driving at a very fast speed, as if he wished he could grow wings and fly directly to his destination.

According to information provided by the security team, the target is currently at a film and television base and is a screenwriter for a TV series.

He is an art exam training teacher, a psychological expert, a TV drama screenwriter, and can invent a miracle drug for strengthening the body. With so many identities and an outrageous cross-border involvement, what else can he be but a liar?
He just couldn't understand. How could anyone fall for a fake scam, and those who fell for it were all rich people?
Is it because I am not stupid that I don’t have money?
He suddenly thought of a sentence that was circulating on the Internet a few years ago: The people here are stupid and have a lot of money, come quickly.

"Ugh!"

Yang Muyan sighed deeply.

It’s hard to be a good person these days!

After more than an hour, the car slowly drove into the parking lot outside the film and television drama site.

He bought a ticket as a tourist and walked in quickly.

However, the film and television base was too large, and he went to many places but couldn't find his target. In the end, he could only ask for help from the staff here.

"Uncle, do you know where the crew of "Perfect Days" is filming?"

"do not know."

"Beauty, which direction is the crew of 'Perfect Days' going?"

"I don't know."

"..."

Yang Muyan asked around under the scorching sun and soon became sweaty and his clothes stuck to his body.

However, he didn't care about these things at all. Now he just wanted to find his target and get the other party's forgiveness.
