Chapter 308: Butler Yang Exercising Authority
These words immediately frightened the group of people.
The young man was stunned for a moment before disbelief and anger appeared on his face. In the end, he turned into fury and shouted, “I didn’t do anything. What right do you have to fire me?”
“Because you’re intentionally kicking up a fuss.” Butler Yang said in the most serious tone. “The Qi family is a century-old family. If everyone is as undisciplined as you, what will others think of the Qi family?”
“Besides, if you have the ability, why are you so afraid of being fired? The fact that you’re so anxious to object is the best evidence of your incapability. Don’t worry, before you leave, I’ll get someone to investigate everything you’ve done all these years. If you did anything that harmed the interests of the family, then I’m sorry I have to send you to jail.”
The young man did not expect that he would be threatened by this new chief butler. He was so angry that his chest heaved and his eyes turned red. He thought to himself, “Just you wait. I’ll call my uncle later. You’re just a new butler, but my uncle has been staying in this family for many decades.”
At the thought of this, the young man turned around and walked away, almost bumping into people next to him.
Butler Yang said to the two bodyguards calmly, “Watch him.”
“Yes.”
The two bodyguards immediately followed.
The young man did not expect Butler Yang to send bodyguards to follow him. He lost control of his temper and shouted, “Do you know who I am? Do you believe that with a phone call, I’ll make you all disappear?”
“Son of a b*tch, are you guys deaf… Ouch…”
The young man screamed in pain, but the others standing in the courtyard trembled and did not dare to look back.
However, many people who had been bullied by the young man cheered in their hearts.
After he was taken away, the courtyard instantly became quiet. Everyone held their breaths, afraid that this new butler would make an example of them.
The three madams, who were stunned by Butler Yang’s actions, finally came to their senses.
First Madam thought that Tang Li had gone crazy. “Tang Li, are you crazy? How can you fire someone like that?”
Second Madam added, “Don’t you know we can’t fire servants at will? That boy was sent here when he was very young.”
Third Madam opened her mouth but decided not to risk offending Tang Li.
Tang Li glanced at the two of them and asked, “Did Butler Yang do anything wrong just now? If someone challenges Butler Yang, then they’re challenging me as well.”
“I can tell that boy has done a lot of despicable things. What if he stabs me on my back one day because he’s angry with me?”
“Sisters-in-law, you have to think from my position. I want to spend the rest of my life with Yihan.”
With that, Tang Li sighed deeply.
First Madam and Second Madam were speechless.
After regaining her senses, First Madam said with a straight face, “Even if you’re right, Wang Tong didn’t do anything. Besides, he’s Butler Wang’s nephew. You can’t just fire him like that.”
“So he’s Butler Wang’s nephew. I was wondering why this person dared to challenge me.”
Tang Li instructed Butler Yang. “Butler Yang, call Butler Wang. I’ll apologize to him personally.”
Butler Yang quickly called Butler Wang. Tang Li took the phone and told him what had happened before asking, “Butler Wang, do you think I did the right thing? If you want him to stay, I’ll make him stay.”
Everyone was stunned, thinking to themselves, “Fourth Madam, that’s a blatant threat.”
After saying that, Tang Li turned on the loudspeaker.
Butler Wang’s voice was heard coming from the phone. “There are 325 rules for servants in the Qi family. No matter what Master decides, the servants must obey. If he dares to challenge Fourth Madam in front of everyone, it’s only right that Fourth Madam fires him.”
Tang Li smiled. “Thank you, Butler Wang, for your support and understanding.”
Butler Wang replied, “Fourth Madam, If something like this happens in the future, you don’t have to tell me. Just follow the rules.”
Tang Li, “Okay.”
With that, she hung up the phone and returned the phone to Butler Yang. Then, she looked at everyone. “If anyone else is unhappy, you can leave with Wang Tong.”
The Qi family’s wage and bonuses were even better than the white-collar workers. Who would be so stupid to leave?
“Since no one is objecting, Butler Yang, continue.”
Butler Yang spoke for a few more minutes before ending.
After that, everyone went back to work.
Only then did Tang Li look at First Madam and Second Madam. “Madam, what else do you have to say?”
First Madam said with a straight face, “No.”
With that, she left.
Second Madam also said no and left.
Third Madam was the only one left.
Third Madam thought for a moment and agreed with a smile, “Fourth Sister-in-law is right. The Qi family mansion indeed needs your management.”
Third Madam obviously wanted to team up with Tang Li.
Tang Li looked at her and nodded. Then, she said to Butler Yang, “Go ahead. Call me if anything happens.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Third Madam could not tell what Tang Li’s attitude was towards her. She stood there clumsily, not knowing whether she should leave or not.
At this moment, Tang Li asked her, “Third sister-in-law, I’m going to the ancestral hall later. Do you want to come with me?”
Third Madam knew that Tang Li didn’t really want company, so she quickly said, “No need. I happen to have something to do today. If Fourth Sister-in-law has anything you don’t understand, you can just call me.”
“Okay.”
After Third Madam left, Tang Li slowly walked toward the ancestral hall.
On the way, she saw a person walking out from a corner.
Looking at Tan Wenjing, who acted like she was having a stroll, Tang Li smiled.
Today, Tan Wenjing was wearing a green dress and had her hair combed, looking like an innocent and elegant beauty.
After she walked over, she smiled warmly at Tang Li. “Fourth Madam, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
