Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Father and Son ConspireXu Jun was dismissed and transferred to the security department. Ye Xuan, on the other hand, secured a deal with Huating Group and was promoted to sales manager by Lin Tong. Lin Tong took swift and decisive actions, not giving anyone time to react; she issued a series of orders immediately after seeing Li Xiaoyun off. The first call she made was to the company’s board of directors, the second to her close friend Su Yumo, the third and fourth calls followed... After a dozen calls, Lin Tong didn’t stop; she immediately instructed her secretary to schedule a meeting with the company’s executives. During the meeting, Lin Tong detailed Ye Xuan’s successful partnership with Huating Pharmaceutical for "Honey Meets Future," and her proposal to promote Ye Xuan as the sales manager was supported by more than half of the company’s senior management. When Lin Dongfang found out about this, the appointment document had already been sent to the HR department; even if he didn’t agree, it was too late. For a long time, Lin Dongfang had held great power in Eastern Group, while CEO Lin Tong had been relatively low-profile. But this time, Lin Tong convened a board meeting without notifying Lin Dongfang and proposed the promotion of Ye Xuan to sales manager autonomously. It was clear to everyone — Lin Tong seemed to be making a countermove! ... CEO’s office. Lin Tong stared intently at Ye Xuan, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity. Today, the shock Ye Xuan brought her was too great; she couldn’t comprehend how Ye Xuan could possibly have a connection with Xie Huang from Huating Group. What on earth did he have that she didn’t know about? "Honey, why did you call me here?" Ye Xuan entered and, conveniently, closed the office door behind him, ensuring that whatever happened inside stayed inside. After saying this, he cheekily approached her, his hands reaching out toward the towering peaks of Lin Tong. "Tell me, what exactly is going on?" Lin Tong swiftly knocked away his "wolf claws," crossed her arms over her chest, and gazed coldly at Ye Xuan. "What do you mean ’what’s going on’?" Abortive in his sneak attack, he bashfully chuckled and awkwardly said, "Feigning ignorance," Lin Tong glared at him sideways. "It’s about the contract you signed with Huating Group. Aren’t you going to explain it to me?" "Oh, you mean that." Ye Xuan fiddled with the fringe on his forehead and vainly said, "Maybe because I’m handsome." "Help me to the bathroom!" "Honey, why do you need to go to the bathroom?" "I’m going to throw up." "..." Ye Xuan was speechless. He hadn’t expected the cold beauty to learn how to joke. "Ye Xuan, can we talk seriously? I’m not joking," Lin Tong said earnestly, slightly knitting her brows. Ye Xuan scratched his head and grinned, "Honey, I’m not joking either. I guess they just wanted to save face for me! I went to Huating Group and asked for a billion; surprisingly, they agreed. Isn’t that miraculous? Even I find it unbelievable!" Lin Tong’s mouth twitched. This guy was full of nonsense, never a word of truth. "Is your face really that big? I don’t see it," Lin Tong said flatly. Your husband’s face is indeed big, probably too big for you to imagine! Ye Xuan secretly snickered, but kept a straight face and said, "I don’t know about that. When I spoke to them about our reasoning, they initially didn’t listen and even tried to send me away. I thought to myself, I’m not just an individual; I’m representing Eastern Group, and I can’t let your reputation take a hit, my wife! So, I argued our case, questioning Huating Pharmaceutical about their flip-flopping and bullying tactics. If they didn’t offer an explanation, I was ready to expose them on social media! Mr. Xie got scared, personally apologized, and invited me for tea, even proposing to invest a billion in us..." After explaining, Ye Xuan spread his hands: "I think that’s probably the reason. Being exposed in the media would also affect Huating Group’s reputation." Lin Tong furrowed her brow, "Is that really the case?" "Absolutely!" Ye Xuan nodded, seemingly remembering something, and smiled, "CEO Xie sparred with me in tea artistry, and I boasted a bit. He really appreciated my tea skills, which I suppose also played a role." "You know tea artistry?" Lin Tong asked in surprise. "Not really, just bluffing with him!" Lin Tong rolled her eyes. Bluffing enough to fool CEO Xie? You really went all out with that bluff. "That’s enough, go to the HR department and fill out your appointment form! You are now a sales manager, don’t be arrogant or complacent. Just because you secured the cooperation with Huating Group this time doesn’t mean you will be successful next time." Despite not fully believing what Ye Xuan said, Lin Tong didn’t bother to ask more and dismissed him after warning him. Leaving Lin Tong’s office, Ye Xuan was beaming with joy; a promotion is always cause for happiness! Whistling, he leisurely made his way to the HR department to process his promotion with Su Yumo. At the same moment, Lin Dongfang was in his villa’s garden, enjoying a massage from a sexy masseuse. When Lin Zifeng hurriedly brought him the news, he was so angry he almost fell off the massage chair. "Preposterous! Absolutely preposterous!" Lin Dongfang’s face turned crimson as he shouted angrily, "This rebellious girl, does she even consider my position anymore!" Seeing Lin Dongfang’s fury, the masseuse was scared and hid in the corner, not daring to make a sound. "Dad, what do we do now? Surely we can’t just let that kid become the sales manager?" Lin Zifeng asked gloomily. He had previously assured Lin Dongfang that he would definitely get rid of Ye Xuan. Who would have thought that Xu Jun would be so incompetent? A sales manager losing to a mere security guard like Ye Xuan and even getting demoted to security department. Instead, Ye Xuan rose to the position of sales manager! This way, he lost a key player. "The board has already approved it, even the appointment and dismissal documents have been sent down to the HR department, what else can we do?" Lin Dongfang’s face was very grim. Even though he was the chairman, the company wasn’t his alone, and he still had to consider the shareholders’ feelings. This time, more than half of them supported the appointment and dismissal of Ye Xuan. Even had he been present at the meeting, he wouldn’t have had the authority to object. "Dad, Lin Tong held the board meeting without informing you, she really doesn’t respect you at all! This company isn’t hers alone, it’s the Lin Family’s." Lin Zifeng stirred the pot. "Hmph, she almost doesn’t consider herself a Lin anymore, thinking she can defy my orders because she found some outsider man," Lin Dongfang said, his face marked by clear anger, a cold light flashing in his eyes. Lin Zifeng suddenly said, "Dad, I have an idea. There is a charity dinner at the Dragon Mansion tomorrow night. Our Eastern Group has yet to secure an invitation. Since Lin Tong promoted Ye Xuan to sales manager, let’s have him try!" Hearing this, Lin Dongfang immediately grasped his son’s intention. The Eastern Group had negotiated back and forth several times for this dinner’s invitations, but the hosts had continuously refused. If Ye Xuan went to negotiate and failed to secure it, it would show his incompetence as a sales manager, and he could be rightfully dismissed! As for securing it... That would only benefit the Eastern Group. Lin Dongfang, with a dark face, said, "Zifeng, come with me to the company, tell this rebellious girl to come see me immediately!"
