"After your father killed Manager Yang last time, he removed me from my managerial position, took back all the authority I held, and kept me in the company as a mere assassin. Your father is a cruel man who abandons those who have served him. Now that he's in trouble, he's trying to use you to get me to deal with Manager Yang's subordinates..."
Jiang Yi sneered, "I am not someone who can be summoned and dismissed at will. Unless he personally asks me, I will absolutely not lift a finger!"
"You cannot oppose my father right now! If he stops relying on you in the future, won't all our plans fall through?" Young Master Qiu's brows furrowed slightly.
"Don't worry, your father will definitely come to me," Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
Young Master Qiu looked somewhat helpless but said nothing more.
Just then, Qiu Fang's secretary walked over. She glanced at Young Master Qiu and then said to Jiang Yi, "The boss wants to see you!"
Jiang Yi smiled at Young Master Qiu and followed the secretary upstairs.
Young Master Qiu saw this and followed them.
Soon, Jiang Yi and Young Master Qiu arrived at Qiu Fang's office.
Qiu Fang had not yet been cured of the poison, and his complexion appeared somewhat haggard. However, his eyes were still sharp, like a double-edged sword.
The poison Qiu Fang had ingested was something ordinary people couldn't cure!
Jiang Yi could cure it, but he had no intention of doing so.
"Jiang Yi, do you know why I've called you here?" Qiu Fang stared at Jiang Yi and asked.
"I know. Boss, you want me to deal with Manager Yang's subordinates!" Jiang Yi said.
"Since that's the case, then you should just do it! Don't worry, if you help me resolve this matter, I will definitely reward you handsomely!" Qiu Fang said.
"Boss, you should find someone else!"
Jiang Yi shrugged and pretended to be helpless, saying to Qiu Fang, "Ever since I was removed from my managerial position, the fifty assassins I trained have all secretly left the company, their whereabouts unknown. I am alone now, how can I possibly deal with Manager Yang's subordinates? There are countless capable people in our company; you should find someone else!"
"Do you dare to disobey my orders?" Qiu Fang reprimanded angrily.
"I'm not trying to disobey your orders, boss, but this matter is truly beyond my capabilities!" Jiang Yi said.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Fang's brows knitted together, and an expression of anger appeared on his face.
"Do you know our company's rules?"
Qiu Fang said in a deep voice, "Once someone becomes an assassin for our company, they are put on the company's kill list if they leave without permission. Even if they flee to the ends of the earth, our company will hunt them down and kill them one by one."
"I know!" Jiang Yi replied.
Jiang Yi knew that Qiu Fang was deliberately trying to intimidate him, using this method to force Jiang Yi's compliance and make him deal with Manager Yang's subordinates obediently.
But Jiang Yi was not swayed by this tactic.
"Do you know what you should do now?" Qiu Fang asked Jiang Yi.
"I understand!"
Jiang Yi said, "From now on, I will be obedient and diligently do what a killer should do. I will not leave the company without permission."
Hearing this, Qiu Fang was greatly angered!
"Jiang Yi, are you truly foolish or pretending to be foolish? I've said so much, and all I meant was for you to find a way to deal with Manager Yang's subordinates, yet you're spouting nonsense here!" Qiu Fang roared furiously.
"Boss, I already said that I really have no way to handle this matter!" Jiang Yi deliberately feigned helplessness.
Qiu Fang took a deep breath.
"Fine, I won't argue with you anymore!"
Qiu Fang stared at Jiang Yi and said, "From now on, you will continue to be the manager. When dealing with Manager Yang's subordinates, you will have full authority. You can mobilize any assassin in the company. How about that?"
"This might not be appropriate!" Jiang Yi said.
"Jiang Yi, don't push your luck!" Qiu Fang said angrily.
"Boss, that's not what I meant!"
Jiang Yi said, "I was just removed from the manager's position by you, and now you're asking me to continue as manager and giving me such great authority. If this news spreads in the company, people will likely gossip behind my back..."
"Hmph!"
Qiu Fang snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "I am the boss of this company. Whoever I appoint as manager is the manager. Who dares to gossip!"
Jiang Yi couldn't help but smile inwardly.
Qiu Fang knew that he wanted him to back down. He probably wanted to kill him right now, but he wouldn't do it because he still needed him to deal with Manager Yang's subordinates.
Only when he lost his utility would Qiu Fang make a move against him.
This time, he had effectively torn the mask off their relationship.
"Regarding the matter of dealing with Manager Yang's subordinates, you will go out with Jiang Yi. I'll give you ten days. After ten days, Manager Yang's subordinates must all be dealt with!" Qiu Fang said to Young Master Qiu.
"Isn't ten days too short?" Young Master Qiu said.
"This is an order!" Qiu Fang said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Young Master Qiu dared not speak further.
"You two can leave now! Hurry up and get the job done. I have no patience!" Qiu Fang said.
"Yes!"
Young Master Qiu acknowledged and left the office with Jiang Yi.
After Jiang Yi and Young Master Qiu left the office, Qiu Fang, in his anger, smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground. With a crisp sound, the teacup shattered into pieces.
"Outrageous!"
Qiu Fang angrily said, "Who does he think he is, Jiang Yi, to dare to push me like this? If he weren't still of some use, I would have killed him long ago. After this matter is concluded, I must make him disappear from this world."
Qiu Fang had developed a murderous intent towards Jiang Yi!
"Boss, there's something I don't know if I should say!" the secretary said.
"Speak!" Qiu Fang said.
"Last time, when you removed Jiang Yi from his managerial position, it was indeed a bit much. No matter who it was, they would feel resentful after such treatment. It's natural for Jiang Yi to feel displeased!" the secretary said.
Hearing this, Qiu Fang's murderous gaze fell upon the secretary.
"You have a lot of nerve, daring to side with that brat Jiang Yi and criticize me! Who does he think he is? If it weren't for me promoting him, he would only be a mere ordinary assassin." Qiu Fang said angrily.
"I dare not. I was just speaking casually!"
The secretary panicked and quickly said, "I was too foolish. I shouldn't have said something so rebellious!"
"I'll let you off this time!" Qiu Fang said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the secretary finally breathed a sigh of relief.
