Chapter 341: 226 has the capital to be arrogant, but you can only endure it (3 more updates)In the tea room, the woman clutched her tissue, not minding the droplets on her face as she continued to wipe her bag, her heart aching. The bag was too expensive, the lamb skin too precious, difficult to care for. If not to keep up appearances during the New Year when visiting friends and family, she would never have brought it out. With orange tea splashed onto it, the bag might be ruined!

”Tang Wan, you...” Her voice trembled with anger.

Meanwhile, outside, the audience had erupted into applause at the storytelling performance, with someone shouting, ”Bravo—”

The couple inside the private room turned pale once again.

”You actually dare... Do you know how much my bag costs?” Ding Anran wished she could rush over and scratch that delicate little face of hers.

”Why wouldn’t I dare?” The two across from her watched her, fierce as wolves, as if ready to devour someone.

Chen Zhi, having already had a dispute with them and gotten his face scratched knew their ruthlessness. Tang Wan kept provoking them, and he truly feared they might come over and ”tear her apart.”

He sweated for her internally.

”Just because your family is rich, you can be so arrogant?” Deng Shuo was choked with anger.

Tang Wan remained calm throughout.

”And on what basis do you rely? Is it because you think I wouldn’t dare escalate things? You’ve come to the studio to cause trouble multiple times, even resorting to assault and extortion, deliberately causing injuries. If I call the police right now, isn’t that enough to get you arrested?”

”I haven’t gone as far as to call the police out of consideration for the other employees and to save you from an ugly scene, but don’t think I won’t.”

”Not to mention spilling a cup of tea on you, even if it were a pot...”

”I can afford to spill it, and you can only take it!”

Tang Wan’s attitude was tough, unlike the more agreeable Chen Zhi, who was all about negotiation. Many people are like this, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Seeing her so assertive, who would dare act rashly?

They thought they had leverage over Tang Wan’s weakness, but she didn’t care at all. Without this leverage, their position instantly weakened.

”The six months’ salary compensations, I changed that myself. Since you’re not satisfied with it, let’s follow the contract and resolve it legally.”

Upon hearing this, the couple’s faces turned ashen.

According to the contract, there was only three months’ compensation. To have lost their case and still face embarrassment, their expressions couldn’t possibly be good.

”If you’re still unsatisfied, you’re welcome to expose me to the media or call the Employee Protection Association to complain about how I mistreat you, or even sue me in court. Do as you please; I’ll be right there with you.”

They had been banking on the fact that she wouldn’t want to make a scene, trying to exploit the situation.

Now, without the money, losing the compensation, and being doused in water on top of that, they were utterly humiliated.

”The contract and the check are right here. However you want to handle it, I respect your decision.” Tang Wan stood up as she finished speaking, ”Uncle Chen, let’s go.”

Then she strode out without looking back.

Her figure was slim, stubborn, straight, and resilient.

”Wanwan, are you really leaving the check behind...” Chen Zhi frowned.

”Even if they take the check, they won’t dare to cash it. The moment they do, I’ll have them arrested. What’s there to fear?” Tang Wan said with a smile.

”I thought you were really going to...” Chen Zhi sighed in relief, ”to show them the money but not let them have it; are you trying to infuriate them? You provoked them so much earlier, I was really worried they might harm you.”

”Don’t worry, they wouldn’t dare.”

”You’re really bold.”

”I had to stand up for you.”

Chen Zhi was taken aback. Although Tang Wan did call him ”Uncle,” at work, he was still an employee, restrained and unable to act as decisively as Tang Wan.

”Uncle Chen, next time something like this happens, you don’t have to hold your tongue. I didn’t create this studio to make a fortune. You’ve been working so hard to help manage things; I don’t want you to suffer because of issues like this.”

”Against such scoundrels, one has to be tough.”

”We are right, after all. If they dare to escalate the issue shamelessly, we won’t cause trouble, but we also won’t be afraid of it.”
