Power and Wealth
Chapter 1709 – Demanding an explanation
Noon…
Near Shuangjing.
Following the address given by Yu Meixia, Dong Xuebing found the company. He looked at the six or seven-story office building and didn’t bother parking in the parking lot. Instead, he drove straight to the company’s entrance, screeched to a halt, swung open the car door, and stepped out.
“Hey, mister.”
“Sir, you can’t park here.”
“Please park in the underground parking lot.”
Several staff members were taken aback and reminded him.
But Dong Xuebing ignored them, leaving the car right at their entrance. He pushed open the glass door in front of him and strode in.
“What are you doing?”
“Hey, your car!”
Staff members continued calling after him.
But perhaps because they saw he was driving a top-of-the-line Land Rover model, their tone wasn’t too harsh. They continued reminding him.
Dong Xuebing couldn’t care less about them. Once inside, he headed straight for the elevator.
At this moment, a security guard heard the commotion. He turned his head and quickly walked over. “Sir, you haven’t registered yet.”
Dong Xuebing retorted, “I’ll register your damn.”
“How dare you speak like that?” The security guard was angered. “Who are you looking for?”
Dong Xuebing shouted, “Mind your own damn business, get out of my way!”
The furious security guard stepped forward to block him. “No one can enter without an appointment.”
Ding, the elevator arrived. Several people who presumably worked in the building looked curiously at Dong Xuebing, then entered the elevator one after another.
Dong Xuebing had no time to waste arguing with the security guard. He was still worried about Sister Yu’s current situation. Yu Meixia had almost been taken advantage of, and Dong Xuebing had no good impression of this company. His anger had been brewing all the way here. Moreover, the security guard had provoked him, so Dong Xuebing wasted no more words. Seeing the elevator was about to leave and the security guard still blocking his way, Dong Xuebing kicked out with one foot.
Bang!
The security guard was kicked out.
Anyone familiar with Dong Xuebing knew this was his signature move. Whenever he got into a dispute, his first action was always this:
A kick.
A fierce kick.
Extremely skillful.
People around were dumbfounded.
“Ah!”
“Why did he hit him?”
“He hit him, he hit him!”
Many employees from various companies shouted out.
However, Dong Xuebing calmly entered the elevator, paying no attention to the stares from those inside. He pressed the button for the fifth floor without hesitation.
Outside was chaotic.
But the elevator doors closed.
The elevator maintained a tense atmosphere as it ascended floor by floor. Ding, the elevator doors opened. Dong Xuebing stepped out on the fifth floor. Three people who might have wanted to watch the commotion or were going to this floor followed from afar.
They didn’t expect this young man to head straight for the restroom.
And even more surprising, after entering, he turned left and boldly pushed open the door to the women’s restroom.
“Oh my god.”
“What’s he doing?”
“Who is this, and what’s he up to?”
The three people looked at each other in bewilderment, their minds unable to catch up.
Dong Xuebing paid no attention to any of this. All he knew was that Sister Yu was in danger. Dong Xuebing’s anger was now unstoppable, and in places like these, women’s restrooms usually had stall doors. Even if there were other people inside, he didn’t care. Right now, his only concern was Yu Meixia.
“Sister Yu!”
“Sister Yu!”
“Where are you?”
Dong Xuebing shouted three times in a row.
A female colleague who had just pulled up her pants to come out was scared stiff. She hastily closed the door again and screamed, “Dirty hooligan!”
Then, the door to the innermost stall slowly creaked open. Yu Meixia cautiously poked her head out. When she saw Dong Xuebing, her eyes reddened with excitement, and tears of grievance and fear trickled down. “Xuebing, I…”
Dong Xuebing hurried over. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Yu Meixia wiped her tears.
Dong Xuebing felt distressed. “Don’t cry. Don’t be afraid. Now that I’m here, you don’t need to worry. Damn it. How bold of them!”
Yu Meixia said, “It’s alright, Xuebing. I there’s nothing wrong.”
Dong Xuebing angrily said, “How can you say there’s nothing wrong? You’re just being clever. Otherwise, who knows what could have happened? They even dared to try something as ridiculous as a kissing scene.”
“Xuebing, we…”
“You don’t have to worry about it. Leave it to me.”
“No need, just take me away.”
“How can that be? I have to deal with them properly.”
Dong Xuebing had such a temper. If someone dared to provoke him, how could they possibly end well? Dong Xuebing wasn’t someone to be trifled with. Whoever crossed him would be unlucky. “Let’s go. Come with me back to that office. I’ll find out who’s responsible for trying to force a kissing scene on you today.”
With that, Dong Xuebing pulled Yu Meixia out of the restroom. Several onlookers were outside, who kept their distance as soon as they saw them coming out.
Yu Meixia weakly pointed to an office over there.
Dong Xuebing didn’t bother knocking on the door. With his signature move, he kicked the door open.
Bang!
The door handle twisted.
But inside the room, there was no one. It was empty.
“Where are they?” Dong Xuebing’s face darkened.
“I don’t know either. They were just… here.” Yu Meixia said.
When she said “just,” that was half an hour ago, the person had already left.
At that moment, the woman who had encountered Dong Xuebing in the women’s restroom just a minute ago walked out. She had probably overheard their conversation and knew roughly what had happened. “Excuse me, are you the one who came for an audition and was bullied?” she asked.
Yu Meixia softly replied with a sound of agreement.
The woman understood the situation. She had just cursed Dong Xuebing as a dirty hooligan, but now she didn’t make a fuss anymore. She knew there must have been a reason for Dong Xuebing’s rush into the women’s restroom. Moreover, she kindly said, “I also came for an audition. Those bastards are too much. They demanded this and that. Damn it, I’m done catering to them. Let me tell you, sister, those guys just went to the restaurant downstairs for lunch. I overheard one of them making a phone call just now. They left less than ten minutes ago. If you’re looking for them, go to the restaurant.”
Dong Xuebing immediately said, “Thank you very much.”
The woman said, “You’re welcome. But those investors are not easy to deal with. You…”
Dong Xuebing sneered inwardly. They’re not easy to deal with? Are they kidding? Am I, Dong Xuebing, easy to deal with?
