Chapter 44 Compassion
```
"But honestly, I just find him unpleasant to look at, unlike Bai Ruguo, who is not only a queen of charm but also the daughter of the chairman. Yet she doesn't strut around like him."
"Alas, some men get arrogant with a little success. But what can you do when he looks handsome and can act, right? Speak softly though, be very careful not to let him hear you talking behind his back—he's very petty!!"
People around were whispering among themselves, looking at Liu Wentian with a hint of sympathy in their eyes.
No matter what, according to Lv Chun's character, if a young man dared to slap one of his people, he would surely end up being slapped back twice as hard by Lv Chun.
The manager saw Lv Chun and, looking as though he'd seen a savior, pointed at Liu Wentian and said, "Chun Chun, it was this guy who hit me. You have to take revenge for me!!"
Hearing this, Lv Chun coldly sized up Liu Wentian. However, seeing no change in Liu Wentian's expression, as if he didn't care about him at all, Lv Chun couldn't help but feel a little surprised and doubtful.
He managed to get to where he was today by winning the favor of the company's leaders; naturally, he wasn't a fool.
Hitting his manager in the company wasn't a sign of ignorance; it was either a sign of unawareness or true strength, not caring about him at all.
He asked Liu Wentian with suspicion, "Who are you? I don't seem to have seen you before??"
Liu Wentian said, "It's not surprising that you haven't seen me; I'm not an employee here."
After hearing this, Lv Chun couldn't help but show an amused look and said, "Looking at your attire, you couldn't possibly be here looking for a job, could you? So you have no idea who the person you hit is??"
"What you said isn't wrong. I could indeed be said to be here looking for a job, but who that freak is, what does it have to do with me?? No matter who he is, I would have slapped him just the same!!"
Liu Wentian was indeed here looking for a job, currently equivalent to applying for the job of Bai Ruguo's bodyguard.
The hint of caution disappeared from Lv Chun's face. He had initially feared that his opponent might be someone pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, but it turned out that he was just a clueless guy looking for a job!!
This guy was really seeking his own doom, ignorant of what was coming to him!!
With a cold laugh, Lv Chun, full of arrogance, said, "So you dare to hit him without even knowing who he is? I'm telling you now, he's my guy, and you've hit my guy and still want to find a job here? You must be dreaming!!"
Liu Wentian's brows furrowed, and he became somewhat angry, saying, "Won't you at least ask why I hit him??"
Lv Chun sneered coldly and said, "No need to ask. You slapped him once, I'll slap you twice, and then I'll have you locked up in jail for a while. It's that simple."
Just as Liu Wentian was about to speak, the tall girl called Jade did something that surprised him.
Clearly afraid of Lv Chun, Jade nevertheless ran in front of Liu Wentian, shielded him with her body, and spread her arms out as if a hen were protecting her chick.
"Mr. Lv... Mr. Lv, you can't do this. The gentleman hit him because he was helping me. You... You can't ignore that! You have to ask about the whole situation before you can decide anything!!"
Lv Chun's gaze hardened; he hadn't expected one of his subordinates to stand up for someone else. Enraged, he said, "Jade, are you rebelling?? Get out of the way immediately. Who do you think you are, and who do you think this guy behind you is, to talk about fairness? Right now, get to the side, or else you'll pack your things and roll out of the company today!!"
Jade's face turned purple, clearly frightened by the prospect of dismissal, but she persisted, "Mr. Lv, you... you can't be so unfair. It's only because the manager was cursing so viciously that this gentleman hit him. Even if the police came, you wouldn't be in the right."
She didn't want to lose the job she had worked hard for, but she also didn't want Liu Wentian, who had stood up for her, to be wronged. So, despite her fear, she refused to back down.
Lv Chun laughed disdainfully, "How do you know I'm not in the right? With the manager beaten up like this, do you really think the police will believe you over me??"
Jade immediately retorted, "Everyone here is a witness. The police will easily understand the truth!!"
Heartsighing upon hearing Jade's words, Liu Wentian thought to himself that this girl was nice but too naïve.
Sure enough, Lv Chun burst into laughter upon hearing Jade's argument, "Ha-ha, witnesses??"
```
He looked around at the onlookers with a mocking smile and teased, "Which one of you is the witness?"
Seeing Lv Chun's disdainful expression, they all felt somewhat annoyed, but none dared to meet his gaze.
Lv Chun was in his prime, and his image was linked to the company's interests; they didn't dare to contradict him unless they wanted to be done with Feige Entertainment.
Jade Xie hadn't expected that none of these people would even dare to respond, her face full of disbelief as she nearly burst into tears, saying, "You... how can you be like this, it's clearly Manager Luo who's in the wrong!"
However, Manager Luo just burst into arrogant laughter, "You little bitch, did you really think anyone would stand up for you and this construction worker? You little whore, have you even looked in the mirror? Even if you went out to sell yourself, no one would pick you up, you country bumpkin. Do you really think you're something special? A two-faced bitch, you deserve to get lost!"
It has to be said, this person's mouth was particularly vicious. To hurl such words at a girl not yet twenty, tears streamed down Jade Xie's face instantly as she said indignantly, "You... how can you curse at people like that? It's obviously your fault, you've gone too far; you're totally unreasonable."
"Why the hell should I not curse you, you dog? Talking about your damn 'reason'—you were born a bitch and deserve to be..."
Seeing Jade Xie crying, Manager Luo became even more pleased, pointing a mocking finger at her as he continued to unleash his venomous insults.
But this time, before he could finish, a slap ferociously struck his face once more.
"I told you, if you dared to curse one more time, I would knock out all your teeth!"
Wentian Liu grabbed Manager Luo's head with his left hand, sneered, and kept fiercely slapping his face one after another.
Smack! Smack!
The loud sound of the slaps echoed through the hall, and Manager Luo couldn't even scream out in pain because Wentian Liu's hits were too fast and harsh; he could only emit muffled grunts.
Jade Xie had forgotten to cry, staring at Wentian Liu as though petrified; the ferocity he displayed was beyond anything she could have imagined.
The onlookers all instinctively stepped back, even the security guards who had rushed over upon hearing the noise just stood there in shock, not daring to approach Wentian Liu.
At this moment, Lv Chun's heart was chilling; he hadn't seen the start of the confrontation when Wentian Liu's slap knocked out one of Manager Luo's teeth. Therefore, he was even more horrified, speechless, just staring dumbly as Wentian Liu's hand kept coming down on Manager Luo's face.
In no time at all, Manager Luo's mouth was bloody, teeth scattered on the floor, his mouth looking like that of an old woman with collapsed lips.
With a slack of his hand, Wentian Liu let go, and Manager Luo dropped to the ground, having fainted, showing just how ferocious Wentian Liu's slaps had been!
Wentian Liu turned to Jade Xie with a show-offy smile and said, "Beauty, there's no use crying over such people. The more you cry, the more proud he gets. Just slap the bastard directly!"
Jade Xie then came to her senses, her pretty face blushing.
Beauty? Was he calling her? She suddenly felt her heartbeat racing a bit too much and didn't dare to meet Wentian Liu's eyes.
At last, Lv Chun snapped back to reality, his face turning an ashen blue as he trembled all over.
Everyone in the company understood that Manager Luo was his man. Wentian Liu slapping Manager Luo's face tens of times was akin to slapping his own face, wiping his prestige clean.
If he didn't stand up for Manager Luo now, who would fear him in the company afterward?
Ever since he was discovered by a scout from Feige Entertainment, he had always had whatever he wanted; relying on his star aura and good looks, he only needed to wave his hand and there would be a whole bunch of brainless fans willing to lay in his bed.
And now he had been publicly humiliated, and the most infuriating part was that the one to humiliate him was someone he looked down on—a filthy loser!
He was simply about to explode with rage!!
"Asshole! Call the cops! Call the cops! This guy must be some street thug who snuck in, call the cops right now! I'll show him what 'height of the heavens, extent of the earth' means. I'll make sure this damned bumpkin rots in jail!"
