Chapter 5

作者: Sole Authority
At ten o’clock the following morning.

Three black Mercedes-Maybachs slowly pulled up to the front entrance of the office building.

Sebastian, along with Julian and the entire executive suite, had been waiting eagerly by the front doors early in the morning.

Fawning, sycophantic smiles were plastered across everyone’s faces, even though the backs of their shirts were thoroughly drenched in cold sweat.

The doors opened.

Nathaniel Anderson, Senior Vice President of Apex Global, stepped out fir

  • Demeaned at My Promotion, I Quit and Left Him Begging   Chapter 9

    The following spring.I received a special invitation.My Alma mater—the humble community college that Sebastian had once held in utter contempt—invited me back to deliver a keynote lecture.I didn’t decline.On the day of the lecture, the main auditorium was packed to capacity with not a single empty seat in sight.Thousands of younger students sat in the audience, their eyes filled with uncertainty, self-doubt, and a desperate craving for direction.Dressed in a simple white button-down shirt, I stepped onto the stage.I hadn’t prepared a slideshow, nor had I drafted fancy, polished rhetoric.Looking at those young, anxious faces below, I began to speak slowly.“I know many of you might have ended up here because you stumbled on your college entrance exams, swallowing a bitter lump of frustration in your hearts ever since.“You might feel like the bar in this society is set far too high, and that you failed to secure a sturdy stepping stone in the form of an elite degree.”

    Three days later.The legal department of Apex Global officially filed a commercial fraud lawsuit against Sebastian’s company.The damages claimed reached an astounding thirty million dollars.When the news broke, the tech industry was stunned.Sebastian’s already shaky capital chain snapped in an instant, and the company’s bank accounts were frozen by the court.As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.The employees who were still holding onto dreams of striking it rich packed up their things overnight and fled.The once-arrogant Sebastian turned grey-haired overnight.He liquidated all his properties and luxury sports cars, but he still couldn’t cover the massive damages claimed by Apex Global.In the end, the company filed for total bankruptcy.Not only was Sebastian left with nothing to his name, but he was also saddled with millions in personal debt, becoming a blacklisted defaulter despised by all.Word had it that he now spends every day dodging d

    Sebastian collapsed heavily back into his chair with a loud thud, his face as pale as a sheet of paper.“Aaron... no, Mr. Bennett!“Listen to me! Let me explain! This was all Julian’s doing!“He’s the one who crashed the system! It has nothing to do with me!”At this life-or-death crisis, Sebastian threw Julian under the bus as a scapegoat without a second thought.Julian whipped his head up, glaring at Sebastian with bloodshot eyes.“Mr. Carter! You hypocritical traitor!“You’re the one who forced me to step up and run the demo!“I didn’t write a single line of this code—I can’t even make sense of reading it!”Turning toward me, he screamed and sobbed as if clutching at his absolute last lifeline.“Aaron, please testify for me!“You wrote this code! All the core technology belongs to you!“I’m just a guy who makes slide decks—I don’t know anything at all!”Julian’s mental defense line collapsed completely, laying bare the whole ugly truth right in front of everyone.The

    Mr. Anderson’s brow furrowed, his tone laced with mild displeasure.“What’s wrong, Mr. Carter? Are we not welcoming Mr. Bennett?”Sebastian jolted violently, instantly replacing his expression with a flattering smile that looked worse than crying.“Welcome! A warm welcome to you all!“Having Mr. Bennett here to guide our work is practically a once-in-a-lifetime blessing for our company!”As he spoke, he threw a vicious glare toward Julian, who was cowering behind him.Julian was now deathly pale, not even daring to raise his head.The entire group filed into the company’s largest executive conference room.Without a shred of hesitation, I pulled out the chair at the head of the table and sat down in the chief position.Nathaniel and the other executives from Apex Global took their seats on either side of me in order.Sebastian and his team were left with no choice but to sit across from us, trembling with anxiety.The atmosphere in the room was suffocatingly tense.I tapped

    At ten o’clock the following morning.Three black Mercedes-Maybachs slowly pulled up to the front entrance of the office building.Sebastian, along with Julian and the entire executive suite, had been waiting eagerly by the front doors early in the morning.Fawning, sycophantic smiles were plastered across everyone’s faces, even though the backs of their shirts were thoroughly drenched in cold sweat.The doors opened.Nathaniel Anderson, Senior Vice President of Apex Global, stepped out first, straightening the lapels of his suit.Sebastian hurried forward to greet him, extending his hand to shake Mr. Anderson’s.“Mr. Anderson! Welcome, welcome! It is an absolute honor to have you grace us with your presence!”Nathaniel merely gave a cool, distant nod, making no move to hurry inside.Instead, he turned around and walked respectfully toward the rear door of the middle Maybach.He personally pulled the door open.“Mr. Bennett, we’ve arrived.”Hearing the title “Mr. Bennett,”

    Julian turned deathly pale, his knees going completely soft.“Mr. Carter! It wasn’t me!”Julian pointed frantically at the scrambled mess on the screen, yelling at the top of his lungs.“It’s Aaron! It’s definitely that damned bastard Aaron!“When he left, he maliciously wiped out the entire underlying core library!“He’s retaliating against the company! This is deliberate sabotage!”Trembling with rage, Sebastian slammed his fist heavily onto the table.“Unbelievable! A community college graduate dares to dump his mess on my head?!“Where’s the legal team? I want them on the phone this instant!“I’m going to sue him! I’m going to ruin his financially and make sure he rots behind bars!”In less than ten minutes, Attorney Dominic Westwood rushed into the conference room, drenched in sweat.Grit nervously, Sebastian gave a furious recount of the situation.“Draft the lawsuit immediately and file for an asset freeze!”After hearing the situation, however, Dominic’s complexion
