Wang’s Revenge!

22: Chapter 22: Mr.

Wang’s Revenge!

There must be a demon when things are abnormal!

That guy Wang Kun is definitely up to no good.

The secretariat was still discussing how Wu Jie’s misfortune turned into a blessing, being transferred to the hundred-billion project team, which was essentially a promotion.

Tang Xiao heard this and didn’t stop walking until she reached her office.

As soon as she did, she sent a message to Wu Jie.

After waiting for a while, Wu Jie didn’t reply.

Tang Xiao became somewhat restless, picked up the phone, and called the HR department.

“Good morning, President Tang!”

“I heard Wu Jie has been arranged for a secondment?”

“Yes, at the request of Mr.

Wang from our partner and approved by the marketing department, Wu Jie has now been temporarily transferred to that project team, and the secondment is expected to last until the end of the project.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao was somewhat furious.

“Why didn’t I know about this?”

“Uh…

President Tang, according to the Group’s HR regulations, the transfer of employees below level A5 only requires the approval of the department manager.

If you think this secondment arrangement is inappropriate, we can…”

“Never mind, let it be!” Tang Xiao slammed down the phone.

Ding!

A message arrived on the phone.

Tang Xiao immediately unlocked it to see Wu Jie’s reply.

“Putting me in the project team is definitely to set me up!

They’re either going to make me work overtime until I vomit blood, or they’re going to nitpick and make my work life miserable.”

Tang Xiao quickly typed back, “If you know this, then what are you thinking?

If you’re not willing, I can have the HR department terminate the secondment!”

Wu Jie: “Don’t bother yourself with such trivial matters.

If they want to transfer me, let them.

I want to see what tricks they’re going to play!”

Tang Xiao smiled faintly, “Alright then, just take care of yourself.”

Instantly, Wu Jie sent back an emoji blowing a kiss.

“So inappropriate!”

Tossing the phone aside, Tang Xiao unlocked her computer and started browsing through the Tianyuan Flower Water Bay real estate project information.

The hundred-billion-scale mega-project was using a joint development approach, which would earn less but spread the risk and reduce the pressure on funds.

Tianyuan Wang Real Estate has developed many classic buildings, with not only a brand but also an experienced team.

In comparison, Tanglong Industrial Group was more skilled in infrastructural engineering, like railways, roads, hydropower stations, etc., and although it had done some smaller building projects, it had never taken on a hundred-billion-scale mega-project.

In this partnership, everything was split fifty-fifty, but in reality, Wang Kun’s team had more experience with commercial real estate, so they mainly dominated the decision-making on details.

Just like this time, insisting on having Wu Jie transferred into the project team, the people from the real estate division would have certainly agreed without hesitation.

Of all people to transfer, it had to be Wu Jie!

The more Tang Xiao thought about last night’s event, the angrier she became.

This guy was clearly looking to cause trouble!

…

Downstairs in the marketing department.

As soon as Wu Jie received the transfer order from HR, he packed his things and went to the project site to report.

Taking the subway, then a bus, and finally a shared bicycle, it took almost two hours before he arrived sweating profusely at the project site.

By the newly opened Jianye Avenue North Extension Line, the construction fences enclosed over a hundred acres of land.

Wu Jie walked inside the fencing, only to see dilapidated old buildings marked with huge characters for ‘demolish’, and excavators were demolishing the houses.

The roar of various construction machines and vehicles was incessant, and dump trucks drove by, stirring up dust and leaving Wu Jie covered in grime.

After searching for a while, he finally saw a four-story building with a sign at the entrance — ‘Tianyuan Flower Water Bay Real Estate Project Department’.

At the doorway of the small building, there were many off-road vehicles parked, among them a Land Rover Range Rover with the license plate ‘WK666’.

Without guessing, he knew it must be Wang Kun’s ride.

Soon, Wu Jie found out that things were not so simple.

As soon as he entered the meeting room, it was full of Wang Kun’s people!

Wang Kun, who was conducting a project progress meeting, smiled and gestured.

“Everyone, this is Wu Jie, the representative from Tang’s.

From now on you can call him Engineer Wu.”

“According to the cooperation agreement, aspects such as the demolition and civil construction in the early stages are our company’s responsibility, but we need to regularly update them on the progress…”

Wang Kun spoke at length with great composure.

To put it nicely, Wu Jie is the liaison representative.

But to put it unpleasantly, he’s just a gofer.

Moreover, for such a large project, the work period is bound to be long, and there will certainly be many matters that require mutual communication and negotiation.

Having Wu Jie cover the liaison and communication over such a long distance, it would be a wonder if he didn’t get exhausted to death.

Just as expected!

Not long after the meeting ended, and just as he had set up his office, troubles kept coming non-stop.

“Engineer Wu, this is our construction progress report for the past month, we intended to courier it to you, but no courier services reach here, so I’m afraid you’ll have to make the trip!”

“Engineer Wu, the civil construction is progressing steadily; let’s head to the site together later to inspect and verify our construction work complies with regulations!”

“Engineer Wu, please transfer these engineering documents promptly!”

“These are the files of all the households relocated due to the demolition, please transfer them, Engineer Wu!”

…

In less than a few minutes.

Wu Jie’s small desk was already piled high with various drawings and documents, weighing at least a hundred or two hundred pounds.

Forget taking a bus or the subway, he’d probably need a pickup truck to haul it all back.

And as for the office that Wang Kun had prepared for Wu Jie, it was quite upscale.

High, because it was located on the top floor of the small building.

Big, because the entire room was his alone.

Upscale, because the temperature soared during the day.

In such an office, almost directly under the blazing sun, forget about air conditioning, there wasn’t even a fan.

And what about Wang Kun?

After the meeting, that guy settled himself into his Land Rover Range Rover, opened the door to let in the air conditioning and drink a beverage, looking quite comfortable, as if worried Wu Jie upstairs wouldn’t notice.

And before leaving, Wang Kun didn’t forget to smile triumphantly at Wu Jie upstairs, and then putting on his sunglasses, he drove off in his Land Rover.

“Interesting!”

Wu Jie picked up a booklet and fanned himself with it.

The sweat would not stop pouring out, just like in a sauna.

He had thought Wang Kun would use other means to strike back and take revenge on Wu Jie.

But unexpectedly, Wang Kun was brazenly using his power for personal gain.

If he really wanted to find a bunch of toughs to beat Wu Jie up badly, such a simple and crude method wouldn’t be unusual.

It was this ‘murder with a soft knife,’ both clever and insidious, that intentionally made things difficult and deliberately tormented him, bullying Wu Jie for having no power, no influence, no backing.

Can’t endure it, don’t want to do it anymore?

If he really quit abruptly or caused a scene cursing people out, he would fall into the trap, letting Wang Kun have the last laugh.

Wu Jie would not concede so easily.

He first packed and sorted the materials, and then went around the construction site; afterward, he called for a ride-hailing service.

In front of many people from the project department, he lifted all sorts of documents and files, weighing a couple hundred pounds, from his office down the stairs to the car’s trunk in one go.

Along the way, naturally, he attracted stares of amazement.

Who would have thought such a lean figure possessed such remarkable strength?

Soon, someone shot a video with their cellphone and sent it to Wang Kun.

Before long, Wang Kun replied, “Since he’s so strong, then let him help move stuff more often!

As long as it doesn’t kill him, work him to the brink, let’s see how long he manages to hold out.”

On the way back to Tanglong Industrial Group, Wu Jie lay on the back seat sleeping when the system suddenly delivered good news.

Ding!

[System: Harvested 6000 points of Wang Kun’s hatred]

Clearly, showing off his muscles while moving things had severely irritated Wang Kun.

Wu Jie sneered coldly, “Hate me already?

Heh, don’t worry, Mr.

Wang, I’ll give you even more reasons to hate me!”
