Chapter 136: Zhang’s Reaction, Questioning!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Upon hearing Little Azhang’s questioning, his boss narrowed his eyes, clearly sensing that something was amiss.

“Zhang, what do you mean? I don’t quite understand. Clearly, it’s a surprise I’ve prepared for you all, why would it turn into a scare?”

Little Azhang continued with a cold snort, “Heh, is that so? Then where exactly are we going on this trip? Are you brave enough to tell us?”

“Since it’s a chartered flight, why did you collect our passports and IDs? And what’s the meaning behind the comprehensive physical exams you arranged for us before departure?”

“Just a trip, why the need for a full-body exam? Why were various organs examined?”

“Most likely… the trip is a facade! In reality, you’re planning to sell us!” In his last sentence, Little Azhang’s tone was practically accusing!

The boss opposite him had a change in expression.

Although he still had a smile on his face, this smile was obviously abnormal.

But he still spoke, “Huh, Zhang, have you been watching too many movies lately?”

“You’re really overthinking it. Why would I sell you? If I sell you, can I get away with that?”

“Since you’re so persistent, then I’ll tell you the truth. Our first stop this time is

Dubai. How can an international trip be complete without experiencing Dubai?”

“Then we’ll take you to the Maldives, and we…”

“The Maldives?” At this moment, a girl’s excited voice rang out. “So, the surprise our boss prepared for us is the Maldives? Boss, you’re amazing!”

“Yeah! The boss is truly amazing! Brother Zhang, everyone is waiting for you, come over here quickly.”

It was two girls from the group.

Seeing that Little Azhang and the boss hadn’t come over while waiting for the flight, they came to check.

Coincidentally, they heard what the boss had just said about the Maldives.

Looking at his boss in front of him, Little Azhang had essentially confirmed it!

This boss was definitely problematic. When he had spoken earlier, even if the surprise in his boss’s eyes only lasted a split second, he caught it.

He looked at his two colleagues.

He wanted to say something.

But at that moment, the boss spoke first. “Ha, indeed, I did plan to take everyone to the Maldives.”

“However… now, our plans might change.”

“Go and call everyone back. Our trip is canceled.”

When Little Ah Zhang heard his words, he was obviously stunned.

He was really going to cancel it?

At that moment, he didn’t know what to say, his prepared words were rendered useless.

But!

As his words fell, the two excited young women were instantly stunned. “Why, boss? Everyone is about to board the plane. How can you just cancel like that?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Why cancel? I’ve been excited about this trip for three days without sleep.”

Hearing their complaints, the young boss’s tone carried a hint of helplessness, “It’s because that Zhang suspects that I want to abduct all of you, and thus is arguing with me about it.”

“Let’s just cancel this trip. When we get back, you all can decide where to go yourselves.”

“Plan your own flight and itinerary, and I’ll reimburse everyone later. That way, no one can accuse me of trying to abduct you.”

“However… the reimbursement for everyone might have an upper limit. Places like the Maldives, I might only be able to reimburse a portion of the expenses.”

“After all, this was supposed to be a chartered flight, I wanted everyone to be comfortable. Now, canceling this part means wasting money.” “Go and tell everyone to come out. I’ll contact the plane to cancel.” Saying that, he took out his phone, preparing to make a call.

“Wait, wait, boss, hold on.”

Seeing that he was about to make the call, the two girls hurriedly stopped him.

Then both turned to look at Little Azhang.

“Brother Zhang, you’ve been at the company for three months, don’t you know what kind of person the boss is? How can you accuse the boss of wanting to abduct us?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Look at how angry you’ve made the boss. Quickly apologize to the boss. We’re all waiting to check in.”

When the boss initially mentioned canceling the trip, Little Azhang felt somewhat guilty.

Could it be that he had misunderstood the boss?

However, the cancellation also relieved him.

Even if he had misunderstood, missing one vacation wouldn’t be a big deal. Besides, they were given the option to plan their own trips, which was still a good outcome.

But as his two colleagues spoke to him with somewhat unfriendly tones, he suddenly realized! F*ck!

Something was wrong!

This dude was an evil motherf*cker!

He was using retreat as a way to advance!

He was trying to manipulate him through his colleagues!

Phew.

Taking a deep breath, Little Azhang calmed himself down.

“Hui, Li, listen to me. Let’s give up on this trip.”

“Our so-called ‘Buddha-like’ boss is definitely not as harmless as he seems.”

“Think carefully, how long has the longest-tenured employee been here in our company?”

“And what about our daily work, and the benefits we enjoy? Is this what a normal company should have?”

“And this trip, why did they take our passports and IDs? And the medical check-up, we…”

“Heh heh, so am I just like other bosses, exploiting and squeezing you? Is that the normal situation?” Before Little Azhang could finish his words, the boss interjected.

It was clear he didn’t want him to continue.

“We’re all working happily and making money easily.”

“You good, me good, everyone good. Isn’t that great?”

As he saw the boss interrupting, Little Azhang was about to retort. However, his two stubborn colleagues were the first to speak up.

“Yeah, that’s right, Brother Zhang. If you think the boss is a problem, if you think the company is a problem, why don’t you just quit?”

“That’s right! If you have any ideas, go and do them yourself. Why do you have to drag others into this mess? We’ve found such an amazing company, such a great boss. Don’t ruin it for everyone.”

The tone of the two ladies had become extremely unfriendly.

Little Azhang was almost taken aback by their counterarguments.

What the heck!

Why were there people rushing to their deaths?

“What’s going on? Who’s quitting? The flight attendants just came out and asked us when we’ll board. What’s the situation now, boss?” A few more people walked over at this moment.

Clearly, seeing that they hadn’t gone over for so long and the flight attendants were urging them, they came over to check what was happening.

“Brother Wang, it’s Brother Zhang, he…” Hui succinctly expressed the matter with strong emotion.

Li kept chiming in from the side as well.

After hearing their account, the few people who had come over behind them looked at Little Azhang anxiously.

“Brother Zhang! You can’t do this! You’re trying to trap us, aren’t you?”

“That’s right, the boss is with us every day. Others might not understand him, but don’t we? We’ve even seen him do the splits while peeing. What could he be hiding from us?”

As this statement was uttered, the boss’s face immediately darkened!

What the f*ck was this nonsense!

As for the current situation, Little Azhang was surrounded by colleagues blaming him,

And others in the distance also discussed this matter animatedly.

Because just now, Xiao Hui had posted the incident in the company chat.

He was trembling with anger!

How did it end up like this?

Did these people have any sense of crisis?

Wasn’t it supposed to be that after I raised this doubt, everyone would unite to cancel the trip?

But…

What were you guys doing?

He subconsciously looked at the boss.

Seeing the smugness in the boss’s smiling eyes, Little Azhang understood.

The boss was playing mind games with him!

What a way to retreat and advance.

This was toying with human nature so obviously!

The boss noticed Little Azhang’s gaze, but he didn’t care at all.

Instead, he pretended to be deep and said, “Ah, Xiao Zhang, I didn’t expect you to see me like this.”

“If that’s the case, let’s part on good terms. I’ll have the finance department settle your salary for the next month.”

“We’ll deal with it after everyone returns from the trip.”

“Well… let’s see if anyone still has issues with me. I treat everyone equally. After all, we’re like brothers. Let’s part on good terms, and I’ll compensate you all adequately.”

This last sentence made several people who had been suspicious reconsider.

They hesitated in an instant.

It was obvious that they had sensed the boss’s intention.

If they didn’t go on this trip today together, then it proved that they didn’t trust the boss!

If they didn’t trust the boss, then they would part on good terms!

For a moment… watching the scene in front of him, Little Azhang felt deeply powerless.

At this rate… no one would believe him.

When a canary got used to life in a cage, it would never realize how treacherous it was outside of its beautiful prison..
