Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio “Why don’t we leave?” “Why should we leave? We’ve been waiting. Let this new general manager get on the news and let everyone see her face.” “Why does it matter if we wait for a little bit more? In order to get to the top, Jiang Meng didn’t hesitate to exploit her mother to hook up with Mr. Chen of Zhongjiang Industries. After Mr. Chen fall from power, she hooked up with President Zhang. “She even made her uncle and cousin kneel down and beg her. “This kind of woman is such a hooligan.” The person who said this was naturally Reporter Chen arranged by Jiang Tian. The reporters had waited for half an hour, and Jiang Meng still had not shown up. The reason for this was because Jiang Tian had deliberately brought forward the time of the press conference by nearly an hour. He didn’t want Jiang Meng to survive in Linhai! Not only did he want to drive Jiang Meng away from the Jiang Corporation, but he also wanted to drive Jiang Meng out of Linhai. Jiang Tian, who was sitting on the rostrum, kept apologizing to the reporters, but his heart was blossoming. He thought, “Jiang Meng, oh Jiang Meng, let’s see how you are going to survive.” “Dad, what a wise move! Jiang Meng is finished!” Jiang Dong was also overjoyed. “Creak!” At this moment, the door opened. Two people walked in from outside. It was Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng. Hearing the discussions of the reporters, Xiao Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile. Jiang Tian must have a death wish. He actually dared to play such a trick. Today he shall let him know who’s going to be embarrassed! Jiang Meng’s reaction was naturally different from Xiao Chen’s. She was almost dumbfounded. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. Moreover, the reporters were all looking at her with very unfriendly gazes. It made her feel very awkward. She wished she could turn around and leave. However, at this moment, a warm and thick palm pressed on her shoulder. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here!” For some reason, Jiang Meng was suddenly filled with courage when she heard this. She lifted her feet and walked up to the rostrum. “You guys are finally here. Can we begin the press conference?” Jiang Tian looked at Jiang Meng and asked. Jiang Meng was about to nod. However, Xiao Chen said, “There’s no rush. It’s not time yet. Could President Jiang have remembered the time wrongly? “We mentioned that it will start at 10 am. “It’s only 9:30 am right now. “What are you doing making the reporters wait for so long?” Of course, he knew what Jiang Tian was up to, so he deliberately said this. It caused a discussion among the reporters. Jiang Tian was a little embarrassed. Xiao Chen’s words had not only pushed the reporters’ anger onto him. Moreover, his tone was completely like a master reprimanding a servant. “Xiao Chen, who do you think you are? You’re just a son-in-law, how dare you criticize the chairman!” A company executive beside him could not stand it anymore. It should be the Human Resource Department’s manager. Xiao Chen looked at the other party coldly and said, “That’s right, I’m a son-in-law. “But Mengmeng has 20% of the shares of the Jiang Corporation, and she is a major shareholder worthy of the name. “Now, she has become the general manager of the Jiang Corporation. “Today, she will sign a big contract that concerns the fate of the Jiang Corporation. “Who do you think you are? How dare you sit here? “Get lost!” “I am the HR Department manager of the Jiang Corporation! I was personally appointed by the chairman. You’re telling me to get lost?” The HR manager was furious. “From now on, you are no longer the HR manager of the Jiang Corporation. “Am I right, acting chairman?” Xiao Chen looked at Jiang Tian and said with a smile. At this moment, Jiang Tian felt as if he had shot himself in the foot. Today, he wanted to embarrass Jiang Meng, but he didn’t expect Xiao Chen to do this. In the end, he only had two choices. One was to go bankrupt and go to jail. The other was to listen to Xiao Chen and embarrass himself. After weighing the pros and cons, he could only choose the second option. It was better to be embarrassed than to go to jail. “Manager Bai, go and write your resignation application.” Jiang Tian instructed with a dark expression. The HR manager was stunned. He suddenly realized that he had made a stupid mistake today. “This is too overbearing!” Off the stage, Reporter Chen suddenly stood up with a righteous look on his face. He shouted, “Manager Bai, you don’t have to leave. He’s just an outsider, a son-in-law. “He doesn’t have the right to make you leave. “Moreover, even if the company wants to fire someone, it has to be reasonable and legal. “You can’t just dismiss someone just because you say so. “You can sue them!” Manager Bai was stunned for a moment and was a little excited. In this day and age, as long as reporters were helping, there seemed to be nothing that couldn’t be solved. Jiang Tian didn’t say anything. He just watched quietly. He wanted to see how Xiao Chen was going to solve this matter. “You have ten seconds to leave. Otherwise, you will definitely regret it.” Xiao Chen looked at Manager Bai indifferently and warned. “Don’t listen to him. He likes to scare people. “This is a society ruled by law. He can’t threaten you. We are all watching.” Reporter Chen shouted. Xiao Chen ignored him. He only kept watching the time on his phone. Ten seconds passed very quickly. Manager Bai did not leave. Perhaps he felt that with so many reporters around, Xiao Chen did not dare to do anything to him. Even if he could not continue to work in the future, he had to extort the Jiang Corporation. He could not let the other party benefit. Jiang Meng looked at Xiao Chen nervously. Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Mengmeng, you should learn from this. You might need it in the future.” Then, he began to display the information on his phone on the electronic screen in the reception hall. It was all evidence of Manager Bai’s crimes. Some of them were just minor matters, such as arranging for relatives and acquaintances to enter the company. That was still fine. But some of them involved breaking the law and committing crimes. The problem was very obvious. At the very least, it was enough for Manager Bai to go to jail for a few years. “I’ve said it before. If you don’t leave, you’ll definitely regret it.” Looking at Manager Bai, who was lying limply on the ground, Xiao Chen said indifferently, “That Reporter Chen too. “You’re right. The company can’t dismiss a senior executive and fire an employee for no reason. “Are these reasons enough?” Reporter Chen was also stunned. What kind of background did this son-in-law have? How could he be so well-prepared? “Hurry up and drag him out. Call the police!” Jiang Tian was also very angry. He didn’t know many of the things that Manager Bai had done. If he knew, he would definitely not forgive this guy. He had embarrassed himself today. He was the acting chairman, yet he didn’t even know about this matter. Instead, it was settled by a new general manager. If word got out, he would definitely be the embarrassed one. “Alright, the eyesore has left. “It’s been hard on all the reporters to wait for so long. We didn’t expect the acting chairman Jiang Tian to be so unreliable. “Although it’s not the time yet, let’s start the reception. We can’t waste too much of your time.” After chasing Manager Bai away, the situation was turned around. Xiao Chen smiled and said. Jiang Meng looked at Xiao Chen with admiration. If Xiao Chen wasn’t here today, she wouldn’t know what to do. She felt like a student who had just graduated. Although she had knowledge, she didn’t know anything. But Xiao Chen knew everything. She decided to learn more from Xiao Chen in the future. This mysterious uncle-like husband was truly fascinating..
