Chapter 1886

~7 min read 1,349 words

Kong Xingzhong shuffled toward the sofa step by step, then, as if losing gravity, flopped onto it.

"Why?"

Kong Xingzhong suddenly erupted, kicking the glass coffee table in front of him to pieces.

Immediately after, this guy grabbed a chair and began to smash things crazily.

Ping, pang, clang, bang, crash—more than a dozen flower pots were smashed to smithereens by him.

Next were the bookshelves, as well as the ornaments he usually collected; all of them were smashed by him.

While smashing, he roared: "Why, why? That Zhou Andong is just a mud-legged peasant with a bit of luck. Why is he pressing down on my head, making me apologize to him? Who does he think he is..."

Employees who had just returned from lunch passed by Kong Xingzhong's office. Hearing the roars and the sound of things being smashed inside, they were all so scared they didn't dare to breathe, and all of them scurried back to their own offices.

From Zhou Andong reporting Zhang Jingkuan by name and offering a million-dollar reward to collect evidence, to Zhang Jingkuan being arrested.

Everyone had heard some rumors that their President Kong had offended Zhou Andong.

And President Kong had a close relationship with Zhang Jingkuan; the business between the Construction Bank and Zhongbao had always been handled by the two of them.

Therefore, Zhou Andong's goal in targeting Zhang Jingkuan was to bring down their President Kong.

Originally, they were only half-believing this rumor; after all, the general manager of Zhongbao wasn't someone just anyone could pull down by reaching out a hand, not even the famous Zhou Andong.

But just now, hearing Kong Xingzhong smashing things in his office and his roars, they realized that President Kong might really be finished.

Whispers arose in the office hall, buzzing like mosquitoes.

Suddenly, heavy footsteps came from outside, as if there were quite a few people. The buzzing discussion disappeared, and everyone looked at the tightly closed office door.

A stylishly dressed young woman quietly walked to the door, grabbed the handle, and poked her head out.

She saw more than a dozen people, including quite a few police officers, walking down the corridor, and then they stood at the entrance of Kong Xingzhong's office.

The young woman shrank her head back, turned around, and started gesturing. Finally, she made a gun gesture and silently mouthed the word "police."

A few understood, hurriedly stood up from their workstations, came over, and peeked through the door crack.

At this time, the doors of other offices on this floor also opened, and heads poked out one by one.

Kong Xingzhong's office door opened; four police officers stayed outside, and the others all went in.

After about two or three minutes, they saw their President Kong being brought out.

Immediately after, the heads that had poked out all shrank back in a flash.

"President Kong has been arrested."

Following this shout, Zhongbao's old four-story red brick building seemed to have experienced a magnitude-10 earthquake.

The floorboards transmitted the harsh sound of chairs rubbing against the ground, along with messy footsteps, and then the sound of running in the corridor.

These were the bold ones who weren't afraid of their superiors making things difficult for them; they all ran out to see what was going on.

As for the timid ones, they all opened the windows, leaned over the windowsills, and stretched their heads out to look down.

If the distance were pulled back to a certain length, looking at the Zhongbao office building, one would definitely think that black mushroom heads had grown on the windows.

Kong Xingzhong was shoved into a van. When he learned of Zhou Andong's actions in Xiangjiang, he knew he was finished.

But he didn't expect it to be so fast. This also proved that the son of a bitch Zhang Jingkuan hadn't struggled at all after being arrested yesterday and had directly sold him out.

From the moment he was arrested, Zhang Jingkuan understood that Zhou Andong's target was Kong Xingzhong.

So from beginning to end, this guy never thought about struggling once he reached the special investigation team.

Before the special investigation team could even ask, he spilled the beans like bamboo shoots and sold Kong Xingzhong out.

Doing this had two goals: first, to confess and strive for lenient treatment to save his life.

Second, he was afraid that if the time dragged on, Zhou Andong's million-dollar reward would take effect, and he wouldn't even have a place to cry.

After all, that was a million dollars, enough to make anyone crazy. Now, there was no telling how many people were digging through every crack and crevice to find evidence of his illegal and disciplinary violations, and most of these people were his former colleagues.

Moreover, his assistant had also been brought back for investigation; if he didn't talk, his assistant would have to.

…………………………

Houhai!

The "You Say It Counts" Management Co., Ltd. was located not far behind Future Culture; previously, it was just a small courtyard used for appearances.

After Nie Wen took over, she connected all eight courtyards in the alley, front and back, and installed gates on both sides of the alley.

According to that guy Zhang Zuo's idea, the company should move to an office building; anyway, he had one in his hands and didn't need to spend money to rent.

But Nie Wen disagreed. Currently, the company's source of income relied entirely on the rent from office buildings and storefronts.

Especially the office buildings; she didn't know when they had become so sought after.

But the Sihe Academy courtyards were largely empty. If she didn't utilize these surplus resources,

but instead thought about occupying the cash cow office buildings, wouldn't that mean something was wrong with her brain?

Moreover, that large area in front was all Future Culture, aside from the various functional office areas.

It was also the dormitory for stars and artists, and the security measures were quite strict. If the company were placed here, it could benefit from that, and she wouldn't even have to consider security issues.

Of course, Nie Wen was embarrassed to keep continuing such "free-loading" behavior, so she thought about finding a time to talk to Jin Dun Security and hand over the security for "You Say It Counts" to them as well.

By then, it would connect with Future Culture's security, and it would be even safer here.

"You Say It Counts" also had its own cafeteria, which was the courtyard at the mouth of the alley on the west side.

After Nie Wen finished eating, she walked around the courtyard twice to help digest.

Moreover, the weather today was truly good, and the afternoon sun felt very comfortable on her body.

At this time, Zhang Zuo came out with a toothpick in his mouth, picking his teeth while burping.

He squinted his eyes, irritated by the outside sun, and only opened them after adapting.

"The weather today is really not bad."

Nie Wen asked, "Why did you run to the company cafeteria to eat?"

"Nothing much." Zhang Zuo leaned lazily against the windowsill. "I thought I'd come over to take a look, and it just happened to be mealtime."

Nie Wen chuckled. "You came over to enjoy the vanity of the employees calling you 'Zhang Zong,' didn't you?"

"Of course not."

Just as Zhang Zuo was about to defend himself, a girl entered the doorway: "Zhang Zong!"

Just that "Zhang Zong" made Zhang Zuo reflexively puff out his chest and raise his head.

"What is it?"

"President Nie!" The girl greeted Nie Wen as well, and only then said, "A lady has come to see you. She says she has evidence of Zhang Jingkuan's crimes."

"Fuck!" Zhang Zuo strode out. "Where is she? Take me to see her."

Nie Wen also curiously followed her out. Was there really someone who possessed evidence of Zhang Jingkuan's crimes?

If this woman wasn't a swindler, then she must have a deep relationship with Zhang Jingkuan, perhaps even being highly trusted by him.
