Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: I Am Saving You

Li Tianhui crossed his arms and sat commandingly in his high-backed executive chair. The wide desk created a significant distance, lending him an air of authority.

He watched Qin Tianxuan walk in, his eyes narrowing. He neither offered him a seat nor spoke a word.

The silence was thick with a menacing aura, creating a tense atmosphere.

Li Tianhui intended to use this tense atmosphere to immediately assert his dominance over Qin Tianxuan.

But with a scrape of a chair, Qin Tianxuan simply pulled one out and sat down.

Li Tianhui flew into a rage. ”Did I say you could sit?”

Qin Tianxuan smiled faintly. ”I have every right to sit here. Of course, I don’t blame you for not knowing that.”

’Damn, how can he be so arrogant?’

’Acting like he’s some kind of big shot.’

Li Tianhui shot to his feet and strode over menacingly. ”Get up! Go stand by the wall!”

’Stand by the wall? Does he think I’m a child?’

’This guy is so childish.’

Qin Tianxuan remained seated. ”President Li, if you have something to say, just say it. Let’s not waste each other’s time.”

Li Tianhui sneered. ”I could have you killed with a single word. Believe it or not.”

”I don’t,” Qin Tianxuan’s flat denial completely shut him down.

Li Tianhui was so angry his teeth chattered. ”I’m a man who likes to be direct. What is your relationship with Yuan Jingjing?”

”Friends.”

”I don’t fucking believe you!”

Qin Tianxuan glanced up at him. ”It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. But you are not worthy of Jingjing, so don’t get any ideas.”

With that, he stood up and straightened his shirt. ”If there’s nothing else, President Li, I have things to do. I’ll be on my way.”

”Stop!” Li Tianhui roared.

But there was no way Qin Tianxuan was going to stop. He just opened the door and left.

”I... I...”

Li Tianhui’s mind went blank with rage. It took him a long moment to recover. ”Human Resources! Fire Qin Tianxuan immediately! And Yuan Jingjing—fire her too! Tell them all to get the hell out!”

The Human Resources department hurriedly complied.

But a wave of resentment still roiled within Li Tianhui, so he immediately changed his order. ”Keep Yuan Jingjing for now. Inform her that she is to come to my private office after work to report on her progress.”

Slamming the phone down, Li Tianhui turned, opened his safe, and took out a small vial.

Inside was some ”good stuff” he’d gotten from overseas. Mixed into a drink, it worked wonders on women.

This trick had never failed Li Tianhui. If a girl cried or made a fuss afterward, he’d just use money to shut her up.

Initially, he hadn’t wanted to use this trump card on Yuan Jingjing. He’d actually wanted to try and pursue her seriously.

But now, he had decided to act directly.

The drink, the vial—everything was ready.

Li Tianhui loosened his tie and closed his eyes, composing himself.

Outside, someone from HR walked into the sales conference room with security guards and pointed at Qin Tianxuan. ”You. Pack your things and get the hell out, now! You can come get your pay next month.”

Qin Tianxuan stood up with a smile and nodded to Yuan Jingjing. ”See you tomorrow.”

’What does he mean by that?’

Yuan Jingjing was dumbfounded. ”You... Don’t go yet. I’ll go talk to President Li!”

In front of everyone in the room, Qin Tianxuan warned her directly, ”Li Tianhui is after you. I advise you not to see him right now. I can tell just by looking at him that he’s the type who’ll stop at nothing to get what he wants.”

’Oh my god.’

’Is he crazy or just stupid?’

’Humiliating President Li in front of everyone?’

By this point, Qin Tianxuan had already walked out of the conference room. Across the hall, Li Tianhui emerged, eager to watch him be humiliated.

Li Tianhui stood arrogantly with his hands clasped behind his back. The vial in his shirt pocket was peeking out, but he was too pleased with himself to notice.

Qin Tianxuan’s gaze swept over him, and his expression changed instantly.

He recognized that vial!

He stopped in his tracks.

Li Tianhui sneered. ”Still not leaving? Do you need security to throw you out?”

Qin Tianxuan took out his phone, coldly stepped to the side, and connected a call to Li Changshan.

”Ah, Sir! What are your instructions?”

”Li Changshan, I’m currently working at a renovation materials company under your group.”

Li Changshan was stunned. ”Sir, are you joking with me?”

”I’m not joking. The president here, Li Tianhui, just fired me.”

”Tianhui? That’s my nephew! My own nephew!”

Qin Tianxuan let out a simple ”Oh.” ”You certainly have a lot of nephews. Li Xiaohai was disgusting enough, and now there’s a Li Tianhui?”

Li Changshan was terrified. ”I will head to the company at once! If Li Tianhui has done something wrong, please feel free to punish him as you see fit!”

”No need. Just make sure I get to keep this job.”

Here, Qin Tianxuan paused for a moment. ”I will give Li Tianhui one chance. I hope he treasures it. Do not reveal my identity! That’s an order!”

Li Changshan was probably too terrified to speak.

Qin Tianxuan hung up the phone, feeling a deep sense of pity.

Li Changshan was a good soldier. Despite being a billionaire, he still worked tirelessly for the Northern Domain Battle Department. It was a shame that after a lifetime on the battlefield, he had never married and had no children of his own.

This was why those so-called nephews of the Li Family were able to create such a mess.

At that moment, Li Tianhui received a call from his uncle.

He jumped in fright. ’Did he find out about me embezzling company assets?’

’Or did Li Changshan find out I was colluding with my dad and a few other uncles to seize power?’

Scared out of his wits, he finally answered the call after a long delay.

”Uncle, I was just about to call you! Is everything alright on your end? I hope you’re not working too hard,” Li Tianhui asked with false sincerity.

”Tianhui, you were the nephew I had the highest hopes for. I have only one thing to say to you: immediately apologize to Mr. Qin at your company, then resign, go home, and reflect on what you’ve done!”

Li Changshan’s tone grew increasingly grave. ”Remember this: your uncle is trying to save you!”
