Chapter 99 Are You Surnamed Johnson?
"Who are you? Try hitting me again!" The man was furious.
"If you want to try, then let's try!" Ryder threw another punch.
The punch landed on the man's chest!
Although Ryder was not a fighter, he had been working on construction sites for three years and had considerable strength.
This punch immediately took the man's breath away, and he fell on the ground!
At this moment, Emily quickly ran and hid behind Ryder.
She was nervous and afraid. "Ryder, you hit someone!"
Ryder replied, "He provoked me to hit him again. What does it have to do with me?"
"Well..." Emily suddenly felt a strange warmth and sense of safety from Ryder.
It seemed... he wasn't as useless as rumored.
"You bastard! Just wait! If you have the guts, just wait!" The man struggled to get up from the ground, turned, and went back into his private room.
It seemed like he was going to call someone!
Seeing this, Emily said, "Ryder, let's leave quickly. That person doesn't seem to be someone we can handle!"
Ryder said calmly, "Trouble can't be avoided! Let's wait here."
Emily nodded, but she was extremely nervous, and her palms were already sweating.
After a while, the man came back from his private room. "There's the bastard!"
Then a group of people, around twenty in number, came out from behind him.
They all looked like office workers.
White-collar workers!
A young woman, with a tall figure and wearing a low-cut red outfit, walked up quickly.
She used one hand to support the man and the other to point at Ryder. "Is it you who hit him?"
"Correct, it was me!" Ryder answered straightforwardly.
"You jerk! Do you know the identity of the person you hit?"
Ryder glanced at the woman and asked, "Who are you to him?"
"Secretary!"
"Oh..." Ryder deliberately lengthened his tone. "I see! Assigning work to the secretary during the day and making love to her at night, right?"
Upon hearing this, Emily behind him couldn't help but chuckle. Even the several employees behind the woman laughed along!
This made the woman embarrassed!
Although it was true that she had this kind of relationship, such words couldn't be said blatantly!
She purposely leaned against the man, acting coquettishly, and said, "You saw it yourself. This jerk is slandering us!"
Rubbing his swollen left eye, the man gritted his teeth and asked, "Jerk, have you heard of the Smith Group?"
"Yeah, so what?"
The secretary interjected and added, "Hmph! This is Klay, the marketing department manager of the Smith Group! Worth millions of dollars! Are you scared now?"
Klay subconsciously straightened his back. "Soon, I'll be one of the vice presidents of the group!"
Lately, Klay's mood has been like a roller coaster.
He had been working for the Smith family for nearly twenty years, finally climbing up to the position of marketing department manager.
But because Joseph was strong-willed and autocratic, there was no room for him to rise in the company!
But coincidentally, something good happened!
The Smith family suddenly encountered a major upheaval.
Joseph passed away, and Sam was unable to take over, so the company went bankrupt and was taken over by the bank.
Just this morning, they suddenly found out that the group had been taken over and had secured cooperation with Maple Real Estate.
Hope resurfaced!
As long as the company reopened and there were vacancies in the high-level positions, it was only natural for Klay's position to be further elevated. It was very likely for him to become a vice president of the company!
That's why he brought some trusted employees to celebrate today.
Unexpectedly, just because he had a few drinks and flirted with a girl, he was beaten up by some unknown poor guy!
How could he bear it?
"A bottom-dweller like you, who looks like he doesn't have more than ten thousand dollars in his pocket, hit a multi-millionaire. What do you think will happen?" Klay provocatively asked Ryder with a cold expression.
Ryder remained calm and answered, "I guess we'll find out. I only know that it's considered a criminal offense to use money to harass women. You deserved to be beaten!"
"You..." Klay's mouth twitched with anger.
He thought that by revealing his identity, he could scare Ryder.
But he didn't expect Ryder to not even bat an eye at it.
Is this jerk out of his mind?
Of course, he didn't know.
When he exposed himself, not only Ryder but even Emily remained unfazed!
The Marketing Manager of the Smith Group?
The Vice President?
Just then, the door was pushed open.
It turned out to be Sarah and Kelly coming out!
"Sarah, why did you come out?" Emily asked.
"I got worried when you didn't come back for such a long time!"
Sarah looked around and asked anxiously, "Did something happen?"
Emily briefly explained the whole situation.
Sarah's expression changed, and she quickly asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
"No! Thanks to Ryder for showing up in time to rescue me!"
Emily stuck out her tongue and glanced at Ryder.
Thinking about how she had just advised Ryder to divorce Sarah, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Her face turned red!
Sarah breathed a sigh of relief.
Her expression gradually turned serious.
Although she had a gentle personality within the Johnson family and seemed like anyone could bully her, Sarah was always assertive when dealing with outsiders.
And when it came to the interests of her employees, it would trigger her protective instincts.
She walked up to Klay and said coldly, "Apologize to her!"
"What?" Klay's face froze. "I didn't mishear, did I?"
"You didn't mishear!"
"I thought you looked pretty, but I never expected that your brain doesn't work. Do you know the current situation? How dare you ask me to apologize?"
Sarah didn't back down. "I don't care! You must apologize to my employee! That's an order!"
Klay's face gradually darkened. "Huh! What right do you have to order me? Just because you're... one, two, three, four... six or seven employees' boss? Don't make me laugh!"
His employees behind him joined in the laughter.
"This woman is dumb! She actually dares to give orders to Klay! Who does she think she is?"
"Do you think you're the daughter-in-law of the Smith family? The Smith family is already finished! Even that idiot Sam is about to become a beggar!"
"Maybe she's fantasizing about becoming the new CEO of our company! I heard the new CEO is surnamed Johnson. So are you also surnamed Johnson?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Emily stepped forward and said firmly, "You're right! She is Sarah Johnson, your new president!"
