Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy-Chapter 83 Shadow of the Empress

"What? Fired?"

"Who are you firing?"

The staff of the Logistics Department looked at each other in disbelief.

Wu Tian smiled and extended his finger, pointing to several female employees. "You, you, you, and you. And of course, you too..."

The women Wu Tian pointed at were stunned, then they all began to protest. "On what grounds?"

"Yes, Department Head, what did we do wrong?"

"You can’t do this to us."

"Shut up," Wu Tian commanded. His voice was so chillingly cold it sent a shiver through their very souls, silencing them immediately.

Were they hallucinating?

Wu Tian spoke indifferently. "What were you all just doing? That Nangong dog was sitting in my seat, and not one of you said a thing. I’ve arrived, and the workday has started, yet you’re all still over there chattering away without any sense of propriety. What use are employees like you? You should be discarded."

The female employees’ faces turned pale. A job at the Qin Corporation, even a minor position, offered a monthly salary of four thousand plus benefits. Such positions were hard to find.

"You... on what grounds are you firing them?" Nangong Yi, who had since woken up, demanded as he hurried in and saw the scene.

"Nangong Yi, you should get out too," Wu Tian said coldly.

If a dog barks at a person once, that person might do nothing. But if the dog keeps barking at them, it needs to be dealt with. It must be taught that dogs shouldn’t act so recklessly, and people are not to be offended.

"You’re firing me?" Nangong Yi couldn’t help but burst out laughing. "Wu Tian, I admit I can’t beat you in a fight, but in this corporation, we are both department heads. We’re equals. On what grounds can you fire me?"

The commotion in the Logistics Department naturally attracted many onlookers, drawing Qin Yuhan over as well.

After understanding the situation, Qin Yuhan was also furious. She stepped forward and spoke in a cold voice, "I can."

"What?" Nangong Yi turned, staring at Qin Yuhan in surprise. "You can’t do this."

"Why not?" Qin Yuhan asked.

"First, I have the strongest business capabilities in this corporation," Nangong Yi said after a moment’s thought, a proud look returning to his face. "Second, it was my plan that led the Qin Corporation to collaborate with the multinational corporation. This partnership is unprecedented. The money earned from this one deal is more than the Qin Corporation has earned in the past five years combined."

"Stop," Qin Yuhan suddenly ordered. Her voice was melodious, yet so ice-cold that it dared no defiance.

Nangong Yi fell silent.

Qin Yuhan said coldly, "The collaboration with the multinational corporation was not because of your plan."

"No, that’s impossible," Nangong Yi said, refusing to believe it. He was furious. Is Qin Yuhan really lying to me just for Wu Tian’s sake? In his mind, the cooperation between the Qin Corporation and the multinational could only be because of his proposal. How could it not be?

"Leave the corporation," Qin Yuhan commanded. Though just a woman, she possessed the commanding presence of a Queen.

Nangong Yi gritted his teeth. He flicked his hand dismissively and swept a cold gaze over everyone present before sneering, "Without me, the Kuangte Family wouldn’t even give you the time of day."

With that, Nangong Yi turned and left.

He would find a new corporation, like the Nalan Group, the Wang Corporation, or the Lin Corporation, and see which one would take him. He, Nangong Yi, would shine brightly before the Kuangte Family. He would make Qin Yuhan regret this. She had just lost a great business talent.

Bing Hong hurried after him. "Wait, Nangong!"

"Get lost." Thinking of Qin Yuhan’s attitude, Nangong Yi’s eyes blazed with rage as he yelled at Bing Hong.

Bing Hong was stunned. How could her kind Nangong suddenly curse at her like that? She wondered if she had misheard him.

"Nangong, what are you saying?" she asked blankly.

"I’m saying you’re a fool." Since he was leaving the Qin Corporation, Nangong Yi figured there was no need to keep up his gentlemanly act. A smirk touched his lips. "You stupid woman. There’s a man who loves you deeply, but you don’t cherish him. Instead, you worship me. Heh. I ask you out on a date, and you just follow along. Did you want to sleep with me? Hahaha! Your first time was with me. Oh, and I have the pictures to prove it. It’s just a pity you aren’t Qin Yuhan. Did you really think I would cherish you just because you gave me your first time? Don’t be so naive."

After saying his piece, Nangong Yi walked away.

Bing Hong burst into tears.

After work, everyone should have gone home, but this time, Qin Yuhan asked the department heads to stay behind.

"Everyone, I have some news. The Kuangte Family has arrived. We are going to the airport now to greet them and make a good impression."

Wu Tian chuckled to himself. He couldn’t care less. All he wanted to do was pick up the little one and go home. The Kuangte Family? Wu Tian didn’t consider them important enough to even think about.

BUZZ! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

His phone vibrated. Wu Tian took it out and saw it was a text from Qin Yuhan.

"I’ve already asked Mom to pick up the baby."

"..."

Wu Tian was dejected. It seemed he had to go to the airport after all.

They each hailed a cab and headed to the airport. Just as Wu Tian stepped out of his car at the entrance, he saw a girl in a blue knitted sweater pass before him.

At a single glance, when Wu Tian saw her face, the mighty Immortal Emperor almost cried out in shock.

The Empress? How could she be here? No! Impossible!

In the Immortal Emperor Realm, who didn’t know the name of the Empress, one of the four great Immortal Emperors? The Empress was not only immensely powerful, but her beauty was also absolutely stunning, and she possessed an indescribable charm and loveliness.

The woman who had just passed lacked the Empress’s aura of dominating The Firmament. Still, her beauty was nearly a perfect match. Her waist was so slender and graceful it seemed you could span it with a single hand.

Wu Tian stared at the woman’s retreating back, lost in thought. Could it be her?

Qin Yuhan and the others noticed Wu Tian’s strange behavior.

Anger surged within Qin Yuhan. Are you kidding me? We just got here, and you’re already enchanted by another woman?

Her icy gaze spurred Lin Fa into action. He quickly ran over to Wu Tian and waved a hand in front of his face. "Hey, Boss, what’s wrong with you?" he said anxiously. "The CEO is right here, and we have important business. You can’t get sidetracked now. Even if she’s a celebrity, you can’t act like this."

Wu Tian swatted Lin Fa’s hand away and looked at him. "Do you know who that woman was who just passed by?"

Lin Fa had a look of disbelief on his face. "Know her? Of course I do! How could I not? She’s a star who just blew up recently. She became a sensation across the Dragon Country the moment she debuted. You seriously don’t know who she is? You’re really out of the loop."

Wu Tian frowned slightly.

So the woman who just passed by was a celebrity?

He thought about it again. It was true that while the woman looked a lot like the Empress, upon careful consideration, their demeanors were different.

Still, Wu Tian felt something was off. He asked, "What’s that celebrity’s name?"
