Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 675 You're fired!
Ma Liang was also pissed off by Xie Zhihao, so he was somewhat angry at Old Man Li's old lover on the phone.

It’s not that he has reached the point where he can challenge old man Li from Hong Kong. The key point is that if he doesn’t dare to get angry over such a small matter, then what’s the point of making money.

He just didn't believe that the Li family would turn against him just to protect such a small person in front of them.

"Mr. Ma, why do you say that?" Zhou Kaixuan felt a little unhappy when he heard his unkind words.

Ma Liang was not polite at all and immediately mocked: "It's nothing, actually. I just feel that the Li family has become more and more arrogant in the mainland in recent years."

"Mr. Ma, please speak directly if you have something to say. There's no need to beat around the bush!" Zhou Kaixuan said impatiently.

Ma Liang sneered and explained the reason: "Mr. Zhou, don't blame me for being unreasonable.

The vice president of a mere chain store of the Li family dared to threaten my girlfriend to accompany him for coffee on the grounds of canceling the brand entry cooperation.

I think such outrageous behavior will sooner or later arouse the wrath of heaven and people, and everyone will condemn it."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Mr. Ma, I will give you an explanation within ten minutes." Zhou Kaixuan was also shocked when he heard this, but he responded immediately.

It's just a small matter, but if it's not handled properly, it may become a big deal.

With her current status, she doesn't need to ask Old Li for permission. She can guarantee to Ma Liang that she will definitely be admitted to Jiaotong University.

If your dog bites someone else, it is only right to admit your mistake and pay compensation.

When you are out there in the underworld, the most important thing is to follow the rules of the underworld.

What's more, it is often a small matter that leads to major problems in the internal management of an enterprise.

Zhou Kaixuan didn't waste any time, hung up the phone and dialed another number.

On the other side, Ma Liang hadn't even put down his phone when he heard the guy on the other side laughing again.

"Stop pretending. Who are you trying to scare?"

Seeing that Ma Liang was shaking in vain, Xie Zhihao laughed nonchalantly.

At this moment, he was even more confident, thinking that Ma Liang's phone call just now was purely bluffing, and might even be an act.

Why are you still calling him Jay Chou? It's so funny!

Not to mention that they [Watsons] don't have any executives with the surname Zhou, even the group's head office [Hutchison Whampoa] or [Cheung Kong Holdings] doesn't have any big bosses with the surname Zhou.

At this time, Xie Zhihao could not imagine that the person Ma Liang contacted was actually old man Li's confidante Zhou Kaixuan.

After all, this guy's level is not high enough, so naturally he can't be associated with that level.

Seeing that this idiot still didn't know his death was approaching, Ma Liang was speechless: "Haha, just keep talking tough for a few minutes, you'll know in a moment."

"Haha, okay, I'll wait here and see how capable you are..."

Xie Zhihao crossed his legs, and with the attitude of a winner, he leisurely uttered a harsh remark and was in no hurry to leave.

He wants to let Ma Liang know today that the foundation of a wealthy family is not something that a young upstart like you can compare to.

But before he could show off for two minutes, his cell phone rang.

Xie Zhihao took out his cell phone and looked at it, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, because the caller ID clearly showed the words "Lao Luo".

This "Lao Luo" is none other than Luo Jingren, CEO of Watsons Greater China.

When I first heard this name, I thought he was Chinese, but he is actually a pure foreigner, and his real name is Christian Nothhaft.

Luo Jingren, like most senior executives of foreign companies, will most likely give himself a Chinese name after coming to China to run business, as a matter of fact, to adapt to the local customs.

When Xie Zhihao saw that it was his boss calling, he did not dare to be negligent and picked up the phone immediately.

"Hi, Nothhaft, what's up?"

"Where are you now?" Luo Jingren's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, without a single word of greeting or courtesy.

Xie Zhihao still hadn't realized the disaster was coming, and still perfunctorily said: "Uh, I'm drinking coffee outside, is there something urgent?"

He also heard that Lao Luo's tone was not right and thought that something had happened to Watsons.

"You bastard, hurry up and tell me your location." Luo Jingren was so anxious that he wanted to kill his deputy on the spot.

Because just a minute ago, his immediate superior, Canning Fok, the managing director of Hutchison Whampoa, called him personally and gave him a good scolding.

Although he is a foreigner, Lao Huo is from Hong Kong, but their status is very different.

After all, Canning Ho is the "chief steward" of the Li family in Hong Kong, and his annual salary is the highest among the senior executives of the entire group.

In charge of Hutchison Whampoa for more than 20 years, he has always been second to none. Even Li's two sons have to respectfully call him Uncle Huo when they see him.

After figuring out the whole story, Luo Jingren was completely dumbfounded.

Such a big shot called for such a trivial matter. It turned out that his deputy accidentally stirred up a hornet's nest.

Lao Luo did not dare to delay at all and contacted Xie Zhihao immediately.

After Xie Zhihao reported the location, he hung up the phone without saying a word, and quickly called the driver to drive straight to Qingyan Company.

Fortunately, we were close and ran through several red lights, so we arrived in just ten minutes.

At this time, Xie Zhihao was still sitting there calmly, occasionally ridiculing Ma Liang, as if he was ready to see his acting exposed.

When he saw Luo Jingren really coming, this guy's expression changed slightly.

"Nothhaft, why are you here? If you have anything to say, wait until I get back to the company!" Until now, Xie Zhihao did not realize how big a trouble he had caused.

As a result, Luo Jingren didn't even look at him, but turned around and bowed to Ma Liang and the other two: "Mr. Ma, I'm so sorry!
I am Christian Nothhaft, CEO of Watsons Greater China.

If you like, you can also call me Lao Luo.

I have come here today to express my sincere apologies to you on behalf of Watsons and Hutchison Whampoa.

Please rest assured, we will give you a satisfactory explanation on this matter."

"No, Lao Luo, what's wrong with you?" Xie Zhihao was stunned and had no idea what was going on for a moment.

But he already had a bad feeling in his heart.

Luo Jingren then turned his head and angrily scolded his deputy: "You bastard, you have brought shame to the company.

From now on, [Watsons] will relieve you of all your duties, You're fired!"

"Why? Just because of him?" Xie Zhihao pointed at Ma Liang, his face full of disbelief.

He simply could not imagine that a young upstart could actually force a wealthy family to bow their heads.

Little did they know that the matter was not over yet, as Luo Jingren continued to announce: "Since you have been acting recklessly under the name of Watsons, it has caused serious damage to the company's reputation.

Now we officially inform you that we will file a lawsuit against you, so please hire a lawyer now!"

After saying this, he didn't even bother to look at his deputy, as if he had treated him as a passerby, and turned around to try to please Ma Liang and the other two.

Xie Zhihao was completely confused on the other end, as if he was facing the end of the world.

His face turned pale and his whole body became limp. Finally, he sat down on the sofa, no longer as arrogant as before.

Only his mouth remained open wide and couldn't be closed for a long time.
