Chapter 440 - 454: The Good Deed You Did
"Chen Yankun and Mu Xingfeng are brothers, and you are sisters with Mu Wanxin. Moreover, this order was originally meant for us. How can they change it so easily? Why don’t you call Mu Wanxin or go to her house and explain the situation to her?"
Although Mu Xingfeng is responsible for Mu Family’s work now, Mu Wanxin is still the President. She’s been busy with her engagement recently and doesn’t have time to manage the company. If she knew our order was re-signed, she definitely wouldn’t agree because it concerns the company’s reputation."
Feng Dewang spoke angrily, his words filled with discontent towards the Mu Family.
As he was speaking, the secretary knocked on the door, "President, the manager of Shide Company’s business department is waiting for you in the reception room."
Hearing this, Feng Dewang looked deeply at his daughter again, signaling her to think of a solution, and then quickly followed the secretary to the reception room.
However, he returned in less than ten minutes.
When Feng Dewang came back, his anger had reached its peak. Seeing Feng Jingjing, he raised his hand and slapped her without a word.
"You wretched child, this is all your doing."
Feng Dewang vented his accumulated anger and resentment of two days into that slap. With a loud "smack," Feng Jingjing saw stars, stumbled, and fell onto the sofa.
"What sins did I commit in my past life to give birth to such a wretched child like you? Do you know that your foolish actions at Shen and Mu Families’ wedding banquet have implicated the entire company? I am ordering you right now to apologize to President Mu. If President Mu doesn’t forgive you, you don’t need to come back to this house."
Feng Jingjing touched her burning cheek, wiped the bloodstain from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, looked at it, and suddenly started to laugh, her eyes full of sarcasm.
"I implicated the entire company with my foolish actions? Dad, when you say this, don’t you think about who the company relies on now? What? Seeing that I have no use anymore, you don’t want your daughter?"
Feng Dewang, who had just lost control of his anger, cooled off somewhat when he saw Feng Jingjing like this. Over the years, the company’s little-by-little progress indeed depended on Feng Jingjing and Mu Wanxin’s relationship.
"Jingjing, Dad is extremely worried. You don’t know, not only have we lost Mu Family’s order, but a few long-term cooperation companies have also proposed to terminate their contracts in the past two days. If you don’t think of a solution quickly, our company will really go bankrupt."
"Think of what solution? I’ve been there already. This time she won’t forgive me," Feng Jingjing said self-deprecatingly.
"How can that be? You kneel to her until she forgives you. I don’t believe, with your ten-plus years of close friendship, that she won’t forgive you." Feng Dewang said fiercely.
Feng Jingjing widened her eyes in shock at these words. She never expected her father to see her as so worthless that he would have her kneel, all for the company.
Touching her burning cheek again, Feng Jingjing stood up and staggered out of the President’s office.
Feng Dewang thought she had understood him, and he sighed in relief; he couldn’t just watch the company he had built collapse.
Feng Jingjing left the company gate, and it was already past five in the afternoon.
Winter days darken so quickly; it was only a bit past five, and the sky had already completely darkened.
With the bright lights just coming on, the streets were filled with people rushing home to reunite with their families.
It was the end of the year, the shops by the streets played cheerful tunes, and even the passersby’s faces carried some joy.
