The Indestructible Alexander

Chapter 8

"What? What did you just say?" The general manager stood up, shock and disbelief evident on his face. No one had ever spoken so boldly in front of him in his entire life.

"I'll repeat it as many times as you want," Alex said, fed up with everything.

“This place, Luster, is not your fucking place."

The worker’s face was pale, they were so shocked that they didn’t dare say anything or make even the smallest move.

“Explain, you bastard,” Luster demanded, his voice seething with fury his body trembling in anger.

“This Total Construction has stockholders; they are the real owners. We are all just workers here, and you, despite being the general manager, are a salary eater like us. Or…”

Stepping forward, Alex's eyes blazed with defiance. "Do you believe you're the boss here? Acting arrogantly all this time? Some people snap their fingers then you wouldn't find a job for the rest of your life."

“Great... great... Looks like you’ve finally gone crazy,” Luster retorted, scanning the room.

“All of you, senior project managers and those of higher rank, how did you teach and discipline these tiny project leaders? It seems you all need discipline too. I will cut your salaries!” Luster said.

The workers' faces turned pale as they had just taken a bitter pill; their eyes filled with rage towards Alex.

Luster was deliberately turning everyone against Alex.

"Yes, please cut more; they are total losers. If I were the general manager, I would have fired them long ago," Alex retorted carelessly. "I will start by firing stupid Luster."

The general manager glared at Alex, his eyes full of anger.

Yet Alex, warming up, moved his arms and clenched his fists, “I haven't worked out in a long time. You, old general manager, I bet you rarely work out. Do you want to try sparring with me? But I can’t guarantee you won’t break a bone or two.”

Luster’s face turned a mix of fear and anger as he pointed at Alex with trembling fingers. “All you, if you can’t teach this guy a lesson, I will cut 50% of your salary!”

He quickly rushed back to his room slamming the door. “Permanently!!!!”

“You jerk, our salary got cut because of you,” said Lucas with a red face. “How dare you.”

“You are never welcome in this place. Pack your stuff and get out of here.” Jack angrily yelled.

“Your wife can’t bear being with you. We can’t bear with you. What reason do you have to live? Just go die.”

“I bet your parents must really regret giving birth to you.” Added another.

Alex turned a deaf ear to the insults and sat at his table, activated his computer. "Even though you insulted me and kept secrets about Ugor and my ex-wife for half a year, I refuse to degrade myself like all of you! I will always be a honest man!"

The colleagues exchanged glances, twirling their fingers at their temples.

Alex continued while typing. “Dear Human Resource Department at the headquarter, I am Alex, I want to resign, also I want to report…”

"…. The purchasing manager has been buying cheaper items from questionable suppliers for the last half-year and used the saved money to buy a car, with Ugor and the general manager's approval," Alex stated.

The purchasing manager face turned pale.

"The project leader Jack added three phantom workers to the payroll to pocket their salaries."

"The advertising manager used office funds for nights out at clubs with prostitutes.”

“The assistant manager consistently stealing office tissues."

“Peter the vice senior manager constantly having sex with the architect on the meeting room.”

All the colleagues' faces turned pale. "Alex, what are you talking about?"

"I'm going to report all of these to the human resources manager." Alex smirked.

Peter became angry. "Do you think you're the only one doing a good job here?"

Alex remained resolute. "So, have you discovered any errors in my work during the past six months in this office? If you can identify just one, I won't report any of you, as long as you can pinpoint any mistake I've made."

The room fell silent, with everyone looking at each other.

"You're a loser as a husband!" Jack blurted out.

"That has nothing to do with my work, you small dick," Alex retorted.

They became silent again.

Ale sighed. "You've been badmouthing me every single day for six months, yet you can't find any fault in my work? Are you not being irrational? Aren’t you too faithful to suck Ugor’s decaying dick?"

Alex returned to his typing, "Senior manager Lucas had an affair with the young, beautiful cleaning service lady named Rossa and kept giving her a salary, even though she never showed up again."

Lucas's face turned crimson with rage. "What nonsense are you spouting?" he bellowed.

"They make a love nest in the cheap apartment where the Senior Manager occasionally stays to make love," Alex smirked. "Perhaps I should forward this juicy tidbit to his wife as well."

In a flash of fury, Lucas lunged at Alex, seizing him by the collar. "Don’t you dare to do that!"

Alex, undeterred, met his gaze squarely. "What if I do? What will you do? Hit me? Silence me?"

"Just hit him!" Jack shouted, the room crackling with escalating tension.

Alex's smiled took on a sinister edge. "If I go down, I'm taking all of you with me," he taunted. "Come at me, you suckers! Let's see who goes down first."
