Being frightened by Mei Cheng’s intimidation, the timid naturally dared not slack off anymore.

But some hot-tempered individuals couldn’t bear it and immediately retorted, “That’s our deserved wages. Who are you to say you won’t give them? We agreed initially to delay everyone’s salary for a month to give the company a chance to turn around. We were promised that the year-end bonus would make up for it, and more bonus would be paid, now that we can’t count on year-end bonuses anymore, is it wrong for us to want our own wages back?”

“Yeah, that’s right, Mr. Mei. We don’t want to work for nothing. You should pay our salaries first, and we’ll definitely continue to support you in getting the company back on track!”

The one who spoke was the department manager from earlier.

He had been accustomed to painting grand visions for employees, but now, he unexpectedly directed his speech towards the leadership.

Mei Cheng was infuriated but didn’t dare to really break with them. He could only shout in frustration, “Money, money, money! All you care about is money! The company has been feeding you for so many years!”

“That’s not how it should be said, Mr. Mei. We’ve put in a lot of effort for the company over the years. How can you say the company has been feeding us for nothing? It can be said that the company’s development to this point is inseparable from us!”

The manager’s words completely catered to the psychology of others, instantly stirring up anger against Mei Cheng.

Mei Cheng glared fiercely at him, his tone harsh, “The company won’t go bankrupt! I’ll figure out the money issue. Right now, we still have a large amount of inventory on hand. As long as we turn this batch of goods into finished products and sell them, it’ll be a huge profit. You all figure it out yourselves.”

With that, he walked away, leaving the rest of them staring at each other.

Not to mention the chaos Mei Cheng faced, even Feng Wei encountered sudden changes today.

Since she couldn’t be the chairwoman of the Lincheng Piano Association, she had retired to the sidelines and become a piano private tutor, barely having an income, so she didn’t have to rely entirely on her husband to live.

But today, she didn’t know what happened. Early in the morning, she received a call saying she was being fired.

Before she could inquire about the reason in detail, the other party had already hung up, and when she called back, she found that the number had been blocked.

Feng Wei was both anxious and angry.

Recently, because of her brother’s reason, Mei Cheng had long been annoyed with her. She was planning to buy an expensive gift for Mei Cheng to regain her husband’s heart. Who knew that she would suddenly lose her income? If she wanted to buy something again, she could only use her husband’s bank card.

But using his money to buy him a gift, what would that sound like?

Feng Wei didn’t know what had happened to her company yet. After thinking about it, she called someone she used to know who lent money at high interest rates.

She reassured the person repeatedly that she would return the money with interest, and the deadline was within three days. Only then did the other party agree to lend her the money.

Feng Wei thought it through. When she could coax her husband back, how much money would she not get?

For now, let Mei Cheng pay to satisfy her future life of luxury. She wouldn’t lose out at all.

After receiving the money, Feng Wei immediately bought a few million worth of Hetian jade thumb rings through a specialized person, sealed them in a tightly closed black box, and waited for Mei Cheng to return.

Before dinner, she even specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare a candlelight dinner for the two of them and gave the other servants in the house a day off, not letting them disturb the two of them.

With everything ready, Feng Wei changed into a very sexy silk nightgown in the bedroom, propped up her slender long legs, and waited for Mei Cheng to come back to give him a surprise.

Unfortunately, as time passed second by second, nearing eleven o’clock at night, Mei Cheng hadn’t returned home yet.

Feng Wei couldn’t help feeling anxious. She took out her phone and called, deliberately using a coquettish tone, and said in an extremely seductive voice, “Honey, why haven’t you come home yet? Today is our wedding anniversary!” “I’m Busy! Why are you so annoying?!” Mei Cheng scolded impatiently, then raised his hand and downed half a glass of wine, slamming the glass heavily onto the counter. He was irritable and lit a cigarette.

Suddenly scolded so harshly by him, Feng Wei didn’t react for a moment.

Seeing that she didn’t speak, Mei Cheng became even more impatient. “Is there anything else? If not, I’ll hang up.”

“Don’t, don’t.” Feng Wei forced herself to smile gently. “Honey, I’ve made a lot of dishes you like, and I’ve prepared a gift for you. Can you come back now, please? I’m waiting for you at home.”

“Got it.” Mei Cheng stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray, his brow furrowed in irritation. “I’ll come back now.”

“Great! I’ll be waiting for you!” Feng Wei felt relieved after hanging up the phone and hugged her phone nervously for a while.

“Sir, you haven’t settled the bill yet.” The bartender wiped the glasses with a smile.

“Damn it.” Mei Cheng cursed and took out his wallet, pulling out the only bill inside and slapped it on the tray, saying fiercely, “Is that enough?”

“Sir, not enough, you’re still fifty short.” The bartender politely replied.

A surge of anger rose on Mei Cheng’s face. “Since I said it’s enough, it’s enough. Damn it, I just drank a glass of your damn wine.. How much more do you want to rip me off?”
