Chapter 393: Resenting Iron for Not Becoming Steel

His subordinates were all standing nearby, watching Sun Guangqi's face twist more and more fiercely, yet the group fell silent afterward, with not a single person speaking.

They lowered their heads slightly, not daring to meet Sun Guangqi's gaze openly.

Sun Guangqi's temperament is somewhat odd; he often flies into a rage at the slightest provocation.

Even a minor matter can provoke him into such a fit of rage.

Especially after the incident involving Jiang Cheng, Sun Guangqi's abilities have not improved; his strength remains much the same as before, with little change.

But his temper is growing increasingly volatile.

Even over a trifle, he can suddenly flare up, bursting with rage.

As his subordinates, they have been living in trepidation and inner anxiety lately, fearing that a careless misstep might anger the person before them, whereupon he would instantly act like a madman and lash out at them violently.

Just like now, the group's minds remain panicked; they silently mutter to themselves: "It has nothing to do with me, yes, yes, the matter has nothing to do with me!"

They really chatter on about nonsense.

It's evident that this group is terrified out of their wits.

As for Sun Guangqi, after his outburst his mood improved a little.

After a few seconds of calm, he suddenly became like a madman again, his eyes suddenly locking onto those present.

Being stared at like that gave them the creeps.

Especially that look of his seemed to say he wanted their lives right then.

The bunch lowered their heads, each feeling guilty.

They were terrified beyond endurance!

"And you lot of trash—"

"If I had known from the start how stupid you are, I would never have hired you back then; if I hadn't hired you, I might not be feeling this bad now!"

He launched into a torrential tirade right away.

With every word he manages to be sarcastic and find a point to insult people.

He speaks with utter confidence and righteousness.

Sentence after sentence, in just a few words, he always unleashes a torrent of abuse that rains down on people.

Those subordinates all became timid and hesitant.

The subordinates were panic-stricken; the group trembled and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

They came forward, bowing and scraping, to apologize.

"Boss, give us some time; we will surely cooperate properly! Rest assured, this time we definitely won't mess up!"

"Yes, yes, we will follow your orders and settle everything; with our abilities we will certainly give that ungrateful Jiang Cheng a good lesson!"

"With his puny strength, what right does he have to act arrogant before us?" These guys are still quite good at spouting harsh words.

Those harsh words came one after another.

Sun Guangqi seemed unwilling to believe them.

"Which of what you say is even believable?"

"These promises you're giving me now… don't disgust me in front of me!" Sun Guangqi's eyes showed disgust.

He glanced at them and felt they were no different from trash.

They all lowered their heads, ashamed and unable to bear it.

After being scolded, their faces were utterly disgraced!

After all, they follow Sun Guangqi, so they ought to be people of some standing, right?

In the end, all day long they're treated like idiots, and at the slightest provocation he either beats or berates them.

Moreover.

It's clearly Sun Guangqi's own problem, so why is he now casually blaming them for it?

Damn it! At that time

In the eyes of these subordinates, disgust cannot be concealed.

But the person in front of them is still the big boss, so they naturally must follow his orders and handle things properly.

So, even though they harbor much reluctance, they can only forcibly suppress their inner anger.

They remained obsequious throughout.

"Boss, you're absolutely right; this time we really did make a mistake! Before you, we sincerely apologize, and we hope you, being magnanimous, can reluctantly spare us this once!"

……

"He who knows the times is a true talent"—that saying has never been wrong.

As long as they adjust their attitude and apologize properly, Sun Guangqi, who originally had a pile of worries, could feel his anger ease a little, effectively pushing all his fire deep down.

Although he still gave them a displeased look, at least he didn't launch into a head‑to‑toe tirade at them as before.

Now, his attitude toward them has improved considerably.

"All right, all right, hurry up and get lost—don't embarrass yourself in front of me."

！

"You lot are just like idiots—there's not a single day you do your work seriously!"

"If you continue to be as foolish as before, I'll tell you: when the time comes, you'll just pack up and roll out your mats and scram—I don't want to see you around here at all!"

He speaks bluntly enough.

This really is a head‑to‑toe barrage of abuse the moment he starts.

They were obsequious.

However, after just saying two or three sentences, Sun Guangqi didn't continue.

Sun Guangqi wasn't in the mood to scold.

He must hurry to think of a way to deal with Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng's matter is very important.

He must speed up and handle it properly!

Otherwise, if he just watches helplessly as things get more and more out of hand.

This isn't.

Isn't this just a total mess?

Thus, Sun Guangqi also started secretly handling these matters behind the scenes.

He was very nervous.

Jiang Cheng had long sent people to monitor his every move—how could he not know what he's doing?

Put simply, Jiang Cheng just couldn't be bothered to expose him.

Jiang Cheng said: "With his puny little skills, he couldn't possibly think that the things he's pulling off could stay hidden, could he? That's downright laughable!" Jiang Cheng snorted; it wasn't that he looked down on the other party, but the tricks they were pulling behind the scenes were too beneath him to even bother mentioning.

On the surface they seem capable, but in reality all those things they're doing are just despicable tricks.

With just these petty tricks, where do they get the nerve to act so arrogantly?

Jiang Cheng felt disgust and contempt.

The partners beside Jiang Cheng adopted that high-and-mighty attitude toward him.

They just felt it was inappropriate.

"One shouldn't be too arrogant, after all Sun Guangqi's abilities are truly not simple."

"Over these years, the reason he's been able to maintain a monopoly shows that his strength is quite formidable!"

"As for us, we still need to be careful and cautious, lest something happen—then truly no one could save us." The other party was especially cautious; just mentioning this made him feel extremely nervous inside.

After all—

They are this time preparing to join forces against Sun Guangqi! (End of chapter)
