chapter 37 Company suppression ===

The index finger moved on the piece of paper, and a blood-coloured symbol appeared on the paper figure. With a flash of light, the paper figure seemed to have come to life. "This is a special incarnation. Within a week, keep it close to you. Remember, take this paper figure with you wherever you go. It can save your life at a crucial moment." "Yes, thank you, Mr. Chen." Eddie Zou's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly put away the paper figure, believing more and more that Thorpe Chen was a wise man. He would never venture anywhere without this paper figure, even in death. When he returned home, he found that Gloria Ye hadn't come back yet. He guessed she was working overtime again. Even though she was the acting manager, her workload had increased, so Thorpe Chen went to her company. Jiyun Group was still brightly lit. Indeed, Gloria Ye was working overtime. The company had a lot of work recently, with many tasks to complete, so most people hadn't left yet. Just as she put down a contract, there was a loud bang, and the office door was kicked open from the outside. Miya Li stormed in with an aggressive aura. Behind her, some colleagues came in, watching the commotion, and a murmur of discussions began. "Is Miya Li trying to cause trouble?" "Definitely. Her position was taken by someone else. She must be upset." "Gloria Ye is a gentle girl. She might be at a disadvantage." "She will be. The former manager, Casmo Wu, is now the acting manager, and this woman has already got close to him." "Really? Casmo Wu is Qiang Wu's cousin. This woman knows how to latch onto someone powerful." "Gloria Ye, what do you mean?" Miya Li walked aggressively to Gloria Ye's desk. "What's wrong, Miya Li?" Gloria Ye was slightly stunned. "Why hasn't my contract been signed? I said this contract is urgent. Any contract I submit should be prioritized. Didn't you hear?" Miya Li angrily said, "You are intentionally delaying signing it, right?" "No one told me your contract was urgent. Besides, there are still dozens of documents to process here. If it's urgent next time, bring it to me personally." Gloria Ye pointed to a stack of documents about two inches thick. "Miss Ye, do you think you're great just because you've slept with Mr. Chen? Let me tell you, everyone in the company knows about your little secret," Miya Li said angrily. "What are you talking about, Miya Li?" Gloria Ye was shocked. "What am I saying?" Miya Li scoffed, "Everyone in the company knows about your unusual relationship with the new Mr. Chen. You're amazing, Gloria Ye. Mr. Chen hasn't even shown his face yet, and you've already climbed into his bed. I can't compete with you in that regard." "You put on such a pure act, but for the sake of climbing up, you don't care about your means. Does Mr. Chen have a special preference? Does he like pregnant women?" "What nonsense are you talking about, Miya Li? I haven't even met the newly appointed Mr. Chen." Gloria Ye became angry, "Don't spread rumours." "Hehe, pretending? Keep pretending. On the surface, you act all pure, but deep down, you're just a loose woman. Miss Ye, I despise people like you the most. Doesn't everyone know you climbed the higher-ups to get to where you are today?" "Now you're just an acting manager, and you want to make things difficult for me? Who do you think you are?" "Miya Li, if you don't shut up, don't blame me for being rude," Gloria Ye coldly stated, "I earned this position with my abilities." "Rude? Let's see how you're going to be rude to me." Miya Li suddenly knocked all the documents on Gloria Ye's desk to the floor. "Miya Li, what are you doing? I just organized these files. They're all important." Gloria Ye was shocked and immediately bent down to pick up the documents. Slap... Suddenly, Miya Li directly slapped Gloria Ye. She sternly said, "Ms. Ye, don't think that just because you have the upper hand now, you can boss me around. I tell you, there will be another day. We shall see." "What are you all doing gathered here?" At that moment, a deep voice shouted, "There's so much work in the company lately, aren't you all supposed to be working?" A man walked over. He was the newly appointed manager, Casmo Wu. "Manager," Miya Li said in a flirtatious tone, "I have an important contract here that needs to be organized and signed immediately. Gloria Ye is holding onto it and refusing to sign. She's deliberately retaliating against me." "Is that so? Gloria Ye, what's the meaning of this? Didn't I say that all contracts from Miya Li's team should be prioritized?" Casmo Wu shouted. "If there was such a special case, it should have been communicated through email, not orally. I really didn't receive any notification," Gloria Ye's face reddened slightly, and she said while holding back tears. "You dare to talk back? Gloria Ye, do you know how you got to your position? Do you think you got there on your merit? Do I need to mention your relationship with my cousin?" Casmo Wu sneered. "Manager Wu, if I make any mistakes in my work, you can criticize me. But humiliating me like this is an insult to my dignity," Gloria Ye said coldly. "Oh, dignity? What dignity are you talking about? Even being pregnant doesn't stop your coquettish behaviour," Miya Li sneered, "I slapped you earlier to teach you a lesson. If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll slap you again." Suddenly, a gust of wind came from one side, and a heavy slap landed on Miya Li's smug face. With a slap, Miya Li screamed. The force of the slap sent her flying, and she landed on a nearby desk, hitting her head hard. "You're asking for death," Thorpe Chen, with a face full of anger, appeared before everyone. "Who are you? What do you want to do? Where are the security guards? Security?" Casmo Wu yelled. Thorpe Chen kicked Casmo Wu, sending him flying against the wall. He clutched his stomach in pain. "My face... I'm going to call the police. Call an ambulance for me," Miya Li's face swelled up, and blood gushed from her nose and mouth. She screamed and cried out, sounding like a slaughtered pig. "Dare to hit my wife? Are you tired of living?" Thorpe Chen sneered, approaching Miya Li, ready to slap her again. "Darling, don't hit her anymore. We're in the company," Gloria Ye quickly stopped Thorpe Chen. "So what if we're in the company? They dared to openly bully you; I need to teach them a lesson today," Thorpe Chen angrily said. "So you're Thorpe Chen? Have I given you too much respect? Do you know where you are? A gambling addict causing a scene here, it seems you're seeking death," Casmo Wu pointed at Thorpe Chen and shouted, "Security! Where's the security? Throw this guy out!" "Who are you?" Thorpe Chen glanced at Casmo Wu. "I am the newly appointed general manager, and Qiang Wu is my cousin," Casmo Wu declared aggressively, "Gloria Ye, you let your darling cause a scene in the company. This is a serious violation of company policy and has created a very negative impact. I'm going to fire you." "You want to fire her?" Thorpe Chen stepped forward and slapped Casmo Wu hard, sending him flying.
