Chapter 340: 225 You are the dog she raised, Wanwan is angry (2 more updates)_2

"Uncle Chen, please take a seat too!" Tang Wan picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of hot tea.

...

After the four of them took their seats, the couple opposite Tang Wan, unfamiliar with her, had been harsh with their words just before, but now looked at each other, seemingly not knowing how to begin.

"Besides compensating six months’ salary and paying your social security and all that, another 150,000 yuan in bonus money, these are your demands, right?" Tang Wan held her cup of tea, drinking it slowly and methodically.

Her voice was gentle, yet her presence was commanding; sitting there, she was untouchable.

The woman nudged the man beside her, signaling him to speak.

Deng Shuo coughed, "That project of ours succeeded, so our year-end bonus won’t be less than 150,000 yuan. Our demands aren’t too much."

Tang Wan appeared too easygoing, like someone who would endure scolding and hitting without fighting back, swallowing their anger. Plus, being the Tang Family’s young miss, she wouldn’t be lacking that little bit of money, which made the two even more confident.

"Miss Tang, we didn’t know you were the boss. After all, 150,000 yuan is but a trifle to you, probably less than what you’d spend in a month."

"But for us, it’s not a small amount."

Tang Wan smiled, "So if I give you the money, you won’t make anymore trouble?"

"Of course."

Tang Wan set down her cup and opened her bag, taking out a check...

"Wanwan!" Chen Zhi saw her take out the check, his brow furrowed in concern, "What are you doing?"

"Didn’t you hear them? They said, as long as they got the money, they wouldn’t cause any trouble." Tang Wan looked at him and smiled innocently.

The eyes of the couple opposite brightened at the sight of the check.

"With so many in the studio following their lead and causing trouble, if you give these two the money, the rest will surely do the same. Even those who’ve already received compensation don’t want to work. Do you realize how big of a hole that is?"

Chen Zhi was becoming anxious.

"We can’t let this tear get any bigger!"

"Chen Zhi, you’re not the boss. When has it been your turn to interfere in what she does!" Ding Anran, seeing Tang Wan actually taking out a check, was just regretful she hadn’t demanded more compensation before.

"You’re just an employee!" Deng Shuo stared intently at Tang Wan.

She had already signed the check and placed it in the middle of the table, "Here’s 300,000 yuan, is that enough?"

"Miss Tang, you’re really reasonable,..." Deng Shuo looked at the check, his smile obsequious, rubbing his hands together, eager to take the check yet feeling somewhat embarrassed, "Look at all this trouble, it must have brought you quite a bit of inconvenience, I’m truly sorry."

"Yes, Miss Tang, we apologize!" Ding Anran chimed in alongside her husband.

Chen Zhi could only curse them as utterly shameless inside his heart — they were not behaving like this just a moment ago.

If Tang Wan really planned to solve this with money, then his prior efforts to safeguard the studio’s interests and contend with them seemed like a complete joke, deeply hurting his pride.

He feared he wouldn’t be going to Beijing anymore...

"Miss Tang, please have some tea!" Ding Anran said with a smile, pouring tea for Tang Wan.

"It’s surprising, we’ve been working for you all these years, and you’ve really kept such a low profile."

...

"Uncle Chen, did they bring the termination contracts?" Tang Wan looked towards Chen Zhi.

"I’ve brought them." Chen Zhi took out the contracts, today’s visit was to resolve matters, and if things went smoothly, the termination contracts would be signed.

Tang Wan took the contract and placed it in front of both of them.

She caressed the cup, smiling at them, "Actually, Uncle Chen has praised both of you in front of me, saying that you have done quite a good job."

"Really?" The couple smiled, yet their gaze never left the check on the table.

"Capable at work, I just never imagined that one’s character could be so low, indeed, personal ability and quality are not linked. Some people, though they dress decently, commit despicable acts behind the scenes!" noveldrama

Tang Wan spoke softly the entire time, the check was even signed, but unexpectedly, she took a sudden turn!

"The projects that the studio signed are indeed the result of everyone’s collective efforts, but when you were in those positions, you should have worked hard because that was your duty!"

"If you’re not working, why would I hire you?"

"Moreover, are you working for me? In the end, you’re also doing it to earn a little extra bonus. It’s not selfless dedication, so don’t portray yourselves as so morally high."

"Uncle Chen has always worked for me. You call him a dog, so what does that make you who work behind him? Are you perhaps worse than dogs?"

The two across from her, who were just basking in the joy of successfully getting compensation, were hit hard by Tang Wan’s sudden attack.

Worse than dogs?

The couple’s faces instantly turned ashen!

"Tang Wan, don’t think that by giving us some money, you can humiliate us like this!" Deng Shuo glared at her intensely.

"Humiliate you?" Tang Wan scoffed lightly, "All the resignation compensation agreements have been clearly laid out when the employment contract was signed! The compensation I’m offering has already exceeded what the contract stipulates."

"But you two are asking for an exorbitant amount of compensation! You even caused trouble at the studio."

"That’s extortion! I can sue you!"

"You dare!" The man glared furiously at her.

"Why wouldn’t I dare? You are just betting that I wouldn’t dare to call the police and make a big fuss." Tang Wan chuckled, "I’m telling you, it’s not that I don’t dare, but rather, I’m giving you face out of the many years we’ve worked together, not because I’m afraid of you!"

"What if I am entangled in a lawsuit? How does that matter? I have never mistreated you, even if it goes to court, the one losing face won’t be me!"

"You both said it yourselves, I’m not short of money, the Tang Family isn’t without funds, and losing this project is nothing to me. However, I’m worried that no company would dare to hire you after this. Worse still, you might end up behind bars for a couple of years."

"I’ve heard that your child is still in middle school. Have you thought about what would happen if both of you go to jail for extortion? How would your child cope? You should weigh what’s more important!"

Ding Anran, out of breath with anger, suddenly jumped up! After all, when it comes to children, parents become more agitated.

"Tang Wan, you—"

Before she could finish, suddenly a hand lifted, and a cup of warm tea was splashed directly onto the woman’s face.

Drenching her and leaving tea leaves stuck to her face, the amber liquid hung wetly, splattering onto a nearby handbag, prompting a series of gasps.

"What are you doing!" Ding Anran didn’t care about the tea on herself and hurriedly stood up, wiping the stains off her handbag.

That bag was made of lambskin, extremely difficult to clean.

Tang Wan remained unstartled, "If your mouth continues to be filthy, the consequences will be more severe than just a cup of tea!"

"Tang Wan!" Seeing his wife doused, the man couldn’t stay seated.

"Here are the check and the contract. You choose; take the money, and if you don’t leave through that door, I will call the police and report you for extortion. Sign the contract, and I will compensate you according to the agreement. Let’s have a good parting or not, it’s up to you."

She still spoke calmly and gently, appearing utterly harmless, even with a trace of a smile in her eyes when she looked at them.

At that moment, the check lay on the table, a full 300,000, yet neither member of the couple dared to reach for it.
