Chapter 1732: Set Up by a Colleague

Wei Yangyang, wearing a professional suit, followed behind a burly man and said in a soft, gentle voice, "Sir, every time we discussed the details before, you said there were no problems and you signed off on them. How is it that when it comes time to pay, you..."

The man had no patience to let Wei Yangyang finish her sentence.

He waved his hand and frowned, saying, "You all misled me into signing those before!"

"Sir, that situation is impossible. Furthermore, it is impossible that you signed without even looking, right?"

"How is it impossible! Besides, were you the one following this project before? No, right? Then how dare you say it's impossible?"

This project, indeed, had not been followed by Wei Yangyang before.

But one only had to think about it to know that something like being misled into signing was impossible.

It was clearly this person being unreasonable!

Wei Yangyang pressed her lips together tightly, an impatient look already hanging on her face.

The man couldn't be bothered to waste any more breath and simply stated his decision: "In any case, I am not paying this money!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yangyang stopped communicating with this person.

She put away her documents and then said, "There is another client who has also taken a fancy to this design. If you do not pay, I will talk to the other party now. Once the deal is made, you will not be able to use our design, otherwise, it will be an infringement."

Hearing this, the man's eyes widened.

He even warned Wei Yangyang, "You dare! Your company signed a contract with me!"

"But since you are not paying, the contract is void, and we have the right to sell the design drawings to someone else."

As she spoke, Wei Yangyang took out her phone.

It looked like she was preparing to contact a new collaborator.

Seeing this, the man actually slapped Wei Yangyang's phone away in one motion!

He also warned her with a ferocious expression: "The design drawings were handed to me, so they

are mine. You dare give them to someone else!"

Heh, Wei Yangyang finally saw it clearly.

This guy just wanted to avoid paying the design fee!

He was truly shameless!

Wei Yangyang did not want to indulge such an unscrupulous trend!

However...

The person in front of her was tall and sturdy, and had tattoos on his body.

When he stared at Wei Yangyang, he looked fierce enough to eat someone!

Looking at Wei Yangyang's side, she was all by herself...

No, she couldn't go head-to-head!

Wei Yangyang prepared to leave this place first.

But the man grabbed Wei Yangyang's arm and warned, "We have already started construction on our end. If you dare to transfer the design to someone else and cause us to suffer losses, I will make you regret it!"

"You, you are so unreasonable!"

"I am the reason! The previous employees couldn't do anything about me, what could you possibly change!?"

In her panic, Wei Yangyang suddenly realized one thing:

Today, she had been set up by a colleague!

Originally, the job of collecting the final payment should not have been done by Wei Yangyang.

She was purely doing a colleague a favor.

But before coming, her colleague hadn't mentioned at all that the client was such a freak.

This... wasn't this just setting her up!

Wei Yangyang couldn't help but feel resentful inside.

The man was still threatening her: "Remember what I said, hurry up... ah!"

Before he could even finish his sentence, he suddenly began to howl like a banshee.

And this sudden howling sound gave Wei Yangyang a fright.

When she looked closely...

It was actually Xie Wanyi who had grabbed the man's other arm!

The man felt the pain and let go of Wei Yangyang.

Wei Yangyang immediately stepped back.

Jiang Motian then supported her shoulders and comforted her, "It's okay now."

Seeing her good friend by her side, Wei Yangyang felt a sourness in her nose and almost cried out of grievance.

Fortunately, Wei Yangyang held it back

She took a deep breath and asked, "How did you guys get here?"

"Just passing by. You don't have to be afraid now; leave that jerk to Xie Wanyi to deal with."

Hearing this, Wei Yangyang's gaze fell back onto that man.

Judging by their physiques, Xie Wanyi and the man were not in the same weight class at all.

But Xie Wanyi subdued the other party using only one hand.

The man knew he had encountered a tough character; he twisted his body and negotiated, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Let go first!"

"Apologize to this young lady."

"Who, who are you people? Why are you meddling in this business!"

Xie Wanyi did not answer, but instead increased the strength of his grip.

Unsurprisingly, the man screamed out in agony once again.

Once the pain eased a little, the man hurriedly said to Wei Yangyang, "I'm sorry, little girl, my tone was wrong just now; I scared you."

Wei Yangyang was not fooled by the other party's hypocrisy.

She frowned and reminded him, "This isn't a problem with your tone; it's that you want to use our design but don't want to pay!"

"Oh my, if I had sufficient funds, how could I not pay? It's just that life is too difficult!"

The man began to play the victim, saying that starting his own business was not easy.

If he had enough money, no one would want to shamelessly do such immoral things.

As soon as Xie Wanyi heard the man's insincere words, he knew he was lying.

He couldn't be bothered to listen to his rambling and interrupted him directly.

He added, "Judging by your methods, this isn't your first time swindling people, and it's impossible that you're short on cash, so... pay up!"

"This..."

"You don't want to pay? That's fine, then we'll just remove one of your arms."

As he spoke, Xie Wanyi pressed his other hand onto a spot on the man's shoulder.

It was this single movement that made

the man turn pale with fright!

He knew that if he pressed down with force, his arm would be ruined!

To avoid becoming disabled, he hurriedly shouted, "I'll pay, I'll pay, I'll pay right now!"

After finishing, the man operated his mobile phone.

Less than two minutes later, Wei Yangyang received a notification.

She took a look and then said to Xie Wanyi, "The money has been transferred."

Since the money was received, Xie Wanyi let go of the man.

He clapped his hands, then warned in a cold voice, "We'll let this matter slide for now, but if you dare to cause trouble for this young lady again..."

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Today, I failed to recognize a superior person and offended you!"

After the man finished speaking, he cautiously inquired, "May I ask where this gentleman is from?"

"The past is not worth mentioning; in any case, I am doing legitimate business now."

Doing legitimate business now...

Doesn't that imply that what he did before was illegitimate?

The man immediately wore an inscrutable expression.

He didn't dare to ask any more questions, offered Xie Wanyi a fawning smile, and then hurried away.

Wei Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this mess had finally been dealt with.

Jiang Motian, however, was quite shaken.

If they hadn't been passing by today, what would Wei Yangyang, a girl alone, have done?

And also...

"How come you came here all by yourself?"

Bringing up this matter, Wei Yangyang was full of anger.

She began to vent, "This wasn't originally part of my job description; I was just helping out. I didn't expect... when I go back, I must demand an explanation from my colleagues!"

Xie Wanyi had seen too many similar things; he said without much emotional fluctuation, "What else could you ask? It's nothing more than shifting blame and finding a scapegoat."

"But... that shouldn't be right. The company belongs to my family; even if my colleagues don't suck up to me, they shouldn't

go so far as to intentionally swindle me."

Wei Yangyang couldn't quite figure it out.
