The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

The last day of the Imperial Capital Treasure Auction was still in full swing.

But in Lucheng, some people with ulterior motives were not so happy.

"Pa", a loud and harsh slapping sound came from a top-class villa in Linhu District, faintly indicating the anger of the person who did it.

"Did the chairman spend so much money just to support people like you who can't complete any tasks and can only eat and eat? Answer me!"

A man in his forties in a suit and tie was scolding his subordinates who were asking for forgiveness in front of him, spitting all over the place. His well-kept face was distorted into a hideous state due to his rage.

The heads of the people in front of him were almost bowed in the dust. The young man who had just been slapped by the man a few seconds ago had no intention of resisting at all. He let one side of his cheek gradually become red and swollen, but his head hung even lower.

"Boss Tang, we checked with those trolls before we came to see the chairman. They did as you instructed and created a fake account to stir up trouble in the comment section of the headline article. But then a wave of users brought in by natural traffic suddenly appeared from nowhere, and almost everyone was speaking for that woman."

A man who looked like a small leader began to explain tremblingly. Even though he tried his best to stay calm while speaking, his voice was still shaking completely when the whole sentence came out of his mouth.

"Oh, then according to what you said, is it because I gave the wrong order? Is there a deviation in the instructions issued by the chairman himself?"

After listening to the explanations of his subordinates, Tang Dong laughed in anger, took a few deep breaths, pointed at the young leader, and his words were full of dangerous signals.

"No, no! Of course it's not the chairman and you who are at fault. It's that group of trolls! They took the money but didn't fulfill their promise to do this. I'm going to take my people back to get the money back from them! Then, I'll find other people who can do the job properly!"

The young leader panicked and waved his hands to deny it. The sweat from his body due to excessive nervousness had soaked his clothes, and his words were full of fear for Tang Dong.

"you……"

"Well, it's no use lecturing them now, so just shut up."

When Tang Dong wanted to vent his anger again, a somewhat old voice came from the sofa near the large European-style floor-to-ceiling window, which made Tang Dong silent immediately.

"You're lucky. Go away now. I don't want to see you again for a while."

After Tang Dong reluctantly ordered the young leader to leave, the few people who had kept their heads down seemed to have finally been redeemed. They all bowed to Tang Dong and the person sitting on the sofa, and rushed to the door of the villa.

After the last outsider disappeared from this low-key yet luxuriously decorated villa, Tang Dong suddenly changed his expression, walked up to the sofa with a flattering smile, and bowed to the figure who had not stood up.

"Chairman, I failed to do my job well this time. When I return to the company, I will issue an internal punishment notice to this bunch of rubbish, and then report to you."

Tang Dong had an uncomfortable, flattering smile on his face, but the man sitting on the sofa did not raise his head to look at him, and did not even give Tang Dong a straight look.

"There's no rush to issue a penalty notice. You didn't do what I told you to do this time. Shouldn't you give me an answer first? What do you want to do next?"

The old voice sounded again, and the man blew the tea leaves in his teacup slowly and calmly pointed out the key point of the matter.

Tang Dong's body shook uncontrollably, and cold sweat streamed down his back.

He knew that the chairman was not someone who could be easily fooled, so he called in the scapegoats to take the blame, hoping to distract the chairman's attention and prevent him from focusing on himself.

But as soon as the chairman said this, he knew that his original clever approach had completely failed.

"Chairman Dong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have thought of things so simply. Please forgive me! I will go back and find someone more capable to do this right away. Please calm down!"

At this moment, the person who spoke with a tremor in his voice turned into Tang Dong who was showing off just now, while the "chairman" sitting upright on the sofa, his expression was normal, he carefully sipped the tea in the cup he just drank, and he did not soften his heart at all towards Tang Dong's plea for mercy.

"When I drink tea, no matter how expensive the tea is, I will not waste water to brew it after its best brewing time has passed. The only final destination for it is the trash can for waste."

The man spoke irrelevantly, in a casual tone, as if he was really just chatting with others about his tea drinking habits and preferences, and did not mention at all how to deal with Tang Dong in front of him.

However, Tang Dong, who always liked to guess his boss's thoughts, felt a chill on the back of his neck, and tasted some different meaning in his boss's words.

Is the chairman going to "get rid of" him?

He had been a loyal subordinate for so many years, and he had heard people in the company call him a running dog in private. However, in order to maintain his own face, he turned a deaf ear to these gossips. He just wanted to serve the chairman well and find ways to stay in the position of general manager longer.

"Chairman, I, I... please, this is the last time I will make a mistake! Please give me one more chance, I promise, no, I swear! I swear I can handle this matter you have entrusted to me."

The sound of Tang Dong swearing and swearing could be heard in the villa. Perhaps because the space was too large, a faint echo could be heard, adding a strange atmosphere to the quiet villa.

The man on the sofa was silent for several minutes. He just concentrated on sipping the tea in front of him without raising his eyes.

Tang Dong's heart was almost in his throat. He dared not even breathe, and his legs were shaking so much that he almost became incontinent.

The chairman seemed to have said nothing, yet he also seemed to have said everything.

"I never like to give my subordinates a second chance, but since you have been loyal to me for so many years, I can make an exception and give you a chance to prove yourself."

Just when Tang Dong almost gave up hope, the man spoke again and said these words in a flat tone.

Tang Dong heaved a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned, but he still didn't dare to let go of the worry completely. He just stood there waiting for his boss's next move.

"It's too late to try to fix the problem now. It's better to focus on the official reports of various media tomorrow and pay attention to whether this little entertainment reporter has any other movements, and then take action to solve the problem."

Tang Dong's heart skipped a beat, his thoughts raced back and forth, and he hurriedly agreed to his boss's instructions.

The implication in the chairman's words was very obscure, but he still understood it.

——Instead of turning the battle situation around which has already tilted in favor of the other side today, it is better to think about how to kill the enemy with one strike on the actual battlefield. This is more practical, accurate and effective than spending a lot of energy trying to make up for the loss.

"Okay, Chairman. I'll go back and make the arrangements right away. I promise to complete the task this time and won't let you down again!"

After Tang Dong made a firm promise to the man, the old voice said "hmm" lightly and there was no other response.

Tang Dong, who was standing by, walked out of the villa as calmly as possible, not daring to look back even once.

The man in the villa put down the teacup in his hand, finally raised his eyes and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window.

"The last use of waste tea. Don't let me down, you old loser."

The man spoke in a very soft voice, saying something that instantly made Tang Dong, who had already left, shudder.

"You'd better pray that you can return to Lucheng safely, Xu Yiyu."
