What should I do? Wang Zuofu thought for a moment and decided to call Old Qin.
"Old Qin, it's Xiao Wang. The new chairman wants me to resign, and I would like to hear your advice?" He wanted to ask Old Qin why he chose such a young kid as chairman, but he didn't dare to.
"Hehe, Xiao Wang, Jiahua Clothing Company is no longer mine. Just do as the new chairman says! I can only remind you of one thing: this person is not someone you can provoke!"
Old Qin said this with a smile, but it sent chills down Wang Zuofu's spine.
"Thank you, Old Qin!"
He still had to say thank you! The sorrow of being a small person.
Wang Zuofu knew he had no choice. After some consideration, he called Jiang Chen back.
"I agree to resign..."
The next day, the conference room of Jiahua Clothing Company was filled with people. Some had an uncontrollable excitement on their faces, while others looked disdainful.
Jiang Chen sat in the main seat with a calm expression. Wang Zuofu sat beside him, appearing restless.
"Everyone, I gathered you here today to exercise the powers of a chairman and appoint or dismiss a group of executives!" Jiang Chen began.
Dismissal of executives? Those who had just shown disdain immediately became tense. The somewhat noisy venue quickly fell silent.
"I will first announce the list of dismissals," Jiang Chen deliberately paused, "The following personnel will no longer hold their original positions..."
As soon as Jiang Chen finished reading the list, the venue erupted!
"Bastard, how dare you dismiss me!" "..."
The dismissal list did not lack Lin Shihui.
Slap in the face! Just yesterday, I thought I had this kid fooled, and today I find myself dismissed. Lin Shihui sat there with a dark expression, unsure of what to say!
He listened intently to the list of names and realized that all those dismissed were in key positions. However, Wang Zuofu's name was not among them. Upon realizing this, Lin Shihui felt a glimmer of hope. He shouted towards Wang Zuofu, "President Wang, we’ve been following you! You can't let this kid dismiss us like this!"
"Yeah, President Wang, don’t let him run wild! We’re counting on you; please say something!"
"…"
Those who had been dismissed clung to their last hope, turning to Wang Zuofu for rescue!
At that moment, Wang Zuofu wore a sorrowful expression, feeling quite troubled inside.
"President Wang, everyone is asking for your words; please say a few!" Jiang Chen spoke up.
Hearing that Wang Zuofu was about to speak, everyone fell silent again. Although some sensed that his demeanor was off, they still hoped for a miracle.
"Hello, Director Jiang, and everyone! Due to health reasons, I have decided to resign from my position as General Manager of Jiahua Clothing Company effective today. I ask for Director Jiang’s approval of my request. Thank you!"
After speaking, Wang Zuofu stood up and bowed to everyone, then bowed again to Jiang Chen!
What? Resigning? The dismissed individuals felt despair! This was unbelievable!
Health reasons? What a joke.
"President Wang, you can’t resign!"
The conference room erupted once more.
"Alright! Since President Wang has health issues, I will approve your request! After all, health is paramount!" Jiang Chen said with a reluctant expression.
Lin Shihui This is awkward! I thought Wang Zuofu was a lifeline, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this!
Incredible! How did that kid Jiang Chen manage to make Wang Zuofu resign voluntarily?
This kid seems like a completely different person! Everything was going smoothly according to plan, but things started to go wrong on the night of the 17th.
Since Wang Zuofu is already in a difficult position, those who have been dismissed seem to have no choice but to accept their fate; they shouted a few times but quickly fell silent.
"Alright, next I will announce the list of appointments..." Jiang Chen fulfilled all the promises he made during last night's phone call.
After the announcement, those Deputy Positions revealed happy smiles, and their excitement was palpable.
Once Jiang Chen finished announcing, he turned his face toward Wang Zuofu.
"President Wang, you are leaving the company. Would you like me to host a farewell banquet for you at noon?"
Farewell my ass! Wang Zuofu cursed inwardly. I'm being driven away by you, not going off to a promotion!
However, Wang Zuofu had to force a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, Director Jiang! Since I'm not feeling well, I can't drink. I should head back to rest early!"
"In that case, I will respect your wishes! President Huang, please take President Wang out of the conference room to hand over some work and then see him off! I still have a few things to discuss with everyone!"
President Huang is Huang Ping'an, who was just appointed as the general manager. He agreed and accompanied Wang Zuofu out of the conference room.
"Let's go too!" Lin Shihui began to rally those who had been dismissed.
"Wait! I'm only dismissing your current positions; I haven't said you're fired. You haven't been given new positions yet, so if you leave now, it will be considered voluntary resignation," Jiang Chen made his warning clear.
"What's the new position for us? Those Deputy Positions? What a joke! You think I would leave on my own if you didn't fire us? Jiang Chen, don't get too smug! I'll let you know, I'm also a shareholder in the Taiping Apparel Company downstairs, so don’t think I have nowhere to go!" Lin Shihui shouted.
"Uncle Hui, why are you so angry? Just yesterday, you said I misunderstood you. Now, with what you just said, isn't the misunderstanding even deeper? What's wrong with the Deputy Position? Huang Ping'an was also a Deputy Position, wasn't he? I was planning to give you the vacancy he left behind. But now that you've made such a scene and told everyone you're a shareholder at Taiping Apparel Company, how can I still use you?" Jiang Chen replied calmly, appearing somewhat helpless.
"You?" Lin Shihui realized he had been played by Jiang Chen and was so furious that he could hardly speak. He turned to those who had been dismissed and said, "If they don't want me here, there are places that will! Brothers, leave Jiahua with me! I will continue to let you serve as executives in the clothing company!"
With that, Lin Shihui stormed out angrily. The dismissed individuals hesitated, and in the end, only two followed him.
"Is there anyone else who wants to leave?" Jiang Chen asked as he looked at the remaining dismissed employees.
The others quickly lowered their heads as soon as they met Jiang Chen's gaze.
Jiang Chen knew they didn’t want to leave.
It seemed that most people were aware of Lin Shihui's character. Besides, how could the strength of Taiping Apparel Company compare to Jiahua Apparel Group?
Continuing as executives under Lin Shihui? Did Taiping Apparel Company not have executives? So following him would at most mean getting a Deputy Position. And staying here? They would likely also get a Deputy Position! These smart individuals understood this well.
Sure enough, when everyone heard Jiang Chen announce, "Alright, those who are willing to stay are still welcome! Each of you will hold your original department's Deputy Position! The new personnel manager should quickly scout for candidates among the employees to fill those vacancies. If there are no suitable candidates, then we will recruit. Meeting adjourned!"
Everyone left the meeting room with smiles on their faces. It seemed they were all winners!
