Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Chapter 19 The Cheap Person

Wu Tian got the vase. Only after Xiao Liang had repeatedly confirmed that the phone number Wu Tian left was real did he finally let him go. In Xiao Liang’s eyes, Wu Tian seemed more precious than any antique.

Wu Tian left with Liang Qingren, who was cradling the vase, and the surrounding crowd gradually dispersed. The fat shop owner, however, returned to his store with a gloomy expression. News of the incident had spread throughout the entire Antique Street in less than half an hour. Nowadays, with the general quality of life improving, the community of antique enthusiasts was growing larger and larger. This shop had originally enjoyed good business, but now that its reputation was ruined, it was easy to imagine that business would not be picking up any time soon. The thought made the fat owner grind his teeth in anger.

At that moment, a tall, refined-looking man wearing glasses walked into the shop. He looked at the fat owner and said, "Brother, I heard what happened. Tell me, how do you want to deal with that kid?"

The fat owner said viciously, "How do I want to deal with him? I’ll break both of his legs and make him..."

"Brother, what’s wrong?" The refined man stared in shock as his older brother suddenly collapsed mid-sentence, and he rushed to his side. His brother’s eyes were wide open and he was still breathing, but aside from his eyes, he couldn’t move a single muscle.

"Brother, hang on! I’ll call an ambulance right now!"

Little did he know, on this vast earth, only one person could save the fat owner.

「Meanwhile...」

Wu Tian and Liang Qingren returned to the corporation and went to the Purchasing Department to find Wei Chunhua. She was a woman in her thirties, and when Wu Tian saw her, she was lounging with her legs crossed, radiating an attitude that screamed, "I’m the boss here, who do I have to fear?"

"Did you get the vase?" she asked Liang Qingren.

"We found it."

Liang Qingren placed the treasured vase from the Qing Dynasty royal collection on the desk in front of Wei Chunhua. It was an exquisite piece; even someone who knew nothing about antiques could appreciate its beauty with their own two eyes.

But Wei Chunhua barely glanced at it before saying dismissively, "Nope, not good enough."

"What? This isn’t good enough?" Liang Qingren asked in surprise.

"That’s right. This item is too low-grade. It really won’t do," Wei Chunhua said, waving her hand dismissively. She then began to scold her. "Did you even look for it seriously? I bet you didn’t. Interns like you are all the same. You think you can get by on your pretty face and not take your work seriously, relying on your beauty to..."

"Enough."

Liang Qingren looked distressed but said nothing. Wu Tian, however, couldn’t stand it any longer. He snapped, "She’s one of my people. It’s not your place to boss her around."

"And who are you?" Wei Chunhua demanded angrily.

"The Head of the Logistics Department," Wu Tian replied.

"The Logistics Department has a head?" Wei Chunhua was taken aback for a moment before she sneered. "You think that just because we’re both department heads, you’re at my level? Let me tell you, nobody wants to be the head of the Logistics Department. It’s a job for a dog! Otherwise, how could a nobody like you get it? I think you’d better..."

The woman’s words were too venomous. Wu Tian had heard enough. In a single stride, he was in front of her. He shot out his right hand, grabbed her by the collar, and hoisted her into the air.

"What... what are you doing to me?"

"Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have a pretty face!"

"You disgusting creature!"

Even in her predicament, Wei Chunhua’s mouth never stopped running.

"Trash," Wu Tian chuckled. Then, as if he were throwing out the garbage, he flung her away.

THUD!

Wei Chunhua smashed heavily against the wall, and she cried out from the forceful impact.

"Don’t think no one will touch you just because you’re a woman! Let me tell you, I’ll teach a lesson to anyone who acts so shamelessly," Wu Tian said coldly. He then turned to Liang Qingren. "From now on, don’t hold back. If some people need a beating, then just give them one."

"Okay."

Staring at the handsome, chiseled face before her, Liang Qingren felt an emotion swelling in her heart that she could only identify as being deeply moved. At the company, Wei Chunhua had always bullied her, yet none of the men who claimed to like her had ever stood up for her. Even if they offered, it was always with a condition, like, "Be my girlfriend, and *then* I’ll solve this problem for you." She never expected this man, whom she had known for only a day, to fight for her.

If Wu Tian knew what the campus belle was thinking, he would have sighed in exasperation and told her, "Dear, you’re reading too much into this."

"You... you actually hit me! Do you have any idea what you’re doing, you worthless man?" Wei Chunhua shrieked from the floor.

When she saw Wu Tian walking toward her again, fear finally took hold. Her face filled with terror as she stared at him. "What... what are you doing? Don’t you know this is the corporation? Don’t you know..."

Know my ass!

Wu Tian reached out again, grabbing the woman’s collar without hesitation, and flung her toward the office door.

BANG!

The door was slammed open. Wei Chunhua tumbled out into the hallway, rolling on the ground and screaming in agony.

The commotion finally attracted the attention of many employees, who all turned to look at her. The people from her own department gathered around, wondering who had beaten the old hag into such a state.

Good! Serves her right!

Just then, Wu Tian and Liang Qingren walked out of the office and approached Wei Chunhua again.

"You’ll get what’s coming to you!" Wei Chunhua pointed an angry finger at Wu Tian, ready to unleash a torrent of curses.

"Shut up." Wu Tian reached out again and lifted her up.

The next moment, he threw her once more.

"AHHH!"

Wei Chunhua collided with the wall again.

Lifting a person was trivially easy for Wu Tian. He had been the Immortal Emperor, capable of lifting countless mountains with a single hand. To him, tossing a person around was nothing.

Seeing Wu Tian openly beating someone in the corporation, the onlookers were all in disbelief. Many of them wondered if they were dreaming.

Despicable woman. Why must she be so vile?

The more Wu Tian threw her, the more fun it became. He kept hoisting Wei Chunhua up and tossing her out like a sandbag, finding it quite amusing. Her bloodcurdling screams, like a pig being slaughtered, continued to echo through the office, causing the faces of those around her to pale with shock.

Beating someone like this... he’s definitely getting fired, right?

Naturally, Qin Yuhan and Li Muge were immediately informed of the incident. They were both startled. Someone actually dared to fight inside the corporation? They immediately headed to the Purchasing Department. By the time they arrived, Wei Chunhua had been thrown into unconsciousness by Wu Tian. She was lying on the ground like a dead pig, barely breathing.

"This is what happens when you act so shamelessly in front of me."

This was the first thing Qin Yuhan and Li Muge heard Wu Tian say as they arrived.

Qin Yuhan was holding Gugu, who had already started clapping his little hands excitedly. "Yay, yay! Papa’s words were so cool!"

Qin Yuhan, meanwhile, remained as cold as frost.
