Chapter 35 - The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Damn it!

Feng Liang wished he could slap himself, realizing he had let something slip.

His cousin was none other than Brother Biao, who had been thrashed by Ye Xuan!

Over the years, he and Brother Biao had colluded both inside and outside the Company, extorting protection money and milking the Company of quite a bit.

They had also preyed on at least dozens of female employees.

Such scum like Ye Xuan were given no chance to explain, as he pulled out his Nokia phone and directly played two recordings:

“Director Feng, may I classify your just-now behavior as taking advantage of a female subordinate?

If someone must be fired from Eastern Group, then it should be a piece of human trash like you, right?”

“Hmph, so what if you do?

At Eastern Group, there’s no woman I can’t handle.

Kid, I’d advise you to mind your own business and not bring trouble upon yourself!”

Hearing these two recordings, Feng Liang instantly turned as pale as death!

“Director Feng, do you have anything else to say now?”

Lin Tong’s face was grim at this moment, she couldn’t believe such a blatant abuse of power happened right under her nose.

Feng Liang’s face was pale as he quickly said, “CEO, it was Vice President Lin’s idea to fire Ye Xuan, it has nothing to do with me, please give me another chance.”

Lin Zifeng!

A cold glint flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes, he hadn’t expected the mastermind behind the scenes to be him.

Lin Tong gave Ye Xuan a glance, and said coldly to Feng Liang, “Director Feng, considering you’re an old-timer at the Company, I’ll give you one chance.

Resign from your position as office director and go to the warehouse to be a storage manager!”

“I’m Vice President Lin’s man, you can’t remove me from my post!” Feng Liang roared with anger.

He had worked at Eastern Group for over a decade to climb to his current position.

Yet now, with just a single sentence from the other party, he was cast from heaven into Hell, not only demoted but to the lowest position of storage manager!

Lin Tong’s lips curved slightly, exuding a chilly, goddess-like confidence as she said indifferently, “You want to use Vice President Lin to pressure me?

Sorry, I’m the CEO of this Company.

Now pack your things and get to the warehouse immediately, I don’t want to see trash like you!”

Feng Liang felt completely drained, nearly collapsing on the spot.

Her last statement was a death sentence for him—his position as director was hopeless.

He walked out despondently, never expected that his scheme to send Yuan Mengmeng to the warehouse resulted in him being reassigned there instead!

At that thought, Feng Liang felt so upset that he could vomit blood, and his heart was filled with hatred towards Ye Xuan.

“Yes!

It’s all this bastard’s fault.

If it weren’t for him, Yuan Mengmeng would have already been under me, and the director position would have remained mine!”

Feng Liang screamed in rage internally, preparing to give Ye Xuan a harsh lesson.

He took out his phone to call his cousin Chen Biao, only to learn that Chen Biao had been beaten and had his legs broken by Luo Wei for unauthorized extortion, and he was also expelled from the Flying Car Gang.

Hearing this news, Feng Liang wore an expression as if his parents had died, he was utterly hopeless.

He couldn’t comprehend how he, the director of the sales department at Eastern Group, could be capsized by a mere security guard!

What he didn’t know, though, was that it wasn’t just Chen Biao; to curry favor with Ye Xuan, Luo Wei had also broken the legs of those who were with Chen Biao, expelling them from the Flying Car Gang altogether.

Meanwhile, in the sales department office.

After Feng Liang left, all the employees looked at Ye Xuan with curiosity and a sense of something extraordinary.

“What’s your name?”

Lin Tong’s beautiful eyes looked towards Yuan Mengmeng, she asked.

Yuan Mengmeng was still in shock, but when the CEO inquired about her, she felt surprisingly flattered and quickly said, “CEO, my name is Yuan Mengmeng, and I am still an intern at the Eastern Group sales department!”

Lin Tong offered a faint smile and said, “You and Ye Xuan did well in this matter.

Starting today, you are an official employee of the Group.”

“Thank you, CEO, I will definitely work hard!”

Yuan Mengmeng’s face flushed with excitement as she spoke.

She knew it was all thanks to Ye Xuan that she was able to become a permanent employee so quickly.

If it were just up to her abilities, it would have been somewhat difficult.

Lin Tong nodded slightly, glanced at Ye Xuan, and said in a cool tone, “Ye Xuan, come to my office.”

After speaking, Lin Tong turned and left with the sound of her heels clacking on the floor.

Seeing the CEO personally summon Ye Xuan, everyone present was taken aback!

The Eastern Group had a huge number of employees, and the gap between the CEO and the staff levels was enormous.

It was nearly impossible for the CEO to personally summon an employee; at least, it hadn’t happened yet in the history of the Eastern Group.

However, considering Ye Xuan had perfectly resolved the conflict with the Flying Car Gang, the idea that the CEO called Ye Xuan to his office to commend and praise him was not out of the question!

At that moment, the employees from the sales department all looked at Ye Xuan with envy.

This guy had been favored by the CEO after just one day at work; it was maddening how some people had all the luck!

If they had known that Ye Xuan had not only been in the CEO’s office but had also been in the CEO’s bed, who knows to what degree they would have been shocked?

“Mengmeng, congratulations on becoming a regular employee.”

Ye Xuan didn’t pay attention to the envious and jealous gazes of the others and smiled at Yuan Mengmeng.

Yuan Mengmeng looked worried and said to Ye Xuan, “Ye Brother, when the CEO calls you in, he’s not going to make things difficult for you, is he?”

Ye Xuan joked with a laugh, “Mengmeng, you see, you’ve become a regular employee now.

When the CEO calls me over, he’s definitely going to promote me.

I’ll treat you to a meal then!”

“Ye Brother, I should be the one treating you to a meal.” Yuan Mengmeng’s cheeks flushed red, and she spoke gratefully.

“Alright, then it’s settled.”

Ye Xuan didn’t refuse.

With the benefit of being treated to a meal by a beautiful woman, he certainly wouldn’t say no.

In the CEO’s office.

Ye Xuan leaned back on the sofa, legs crossed, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, as he casually surveyed the office.

“Are you satisfied now with what I’ve done?”

Lin Tong looked at Ye Xuan, her pretty brows tightly furrowed, speaking with profound meaning.

Ye Xuan blew out a smoke ring and said indifferently, “Wife, that kind of scum should be stripped of his position and investigated!

I don’t mean to criticize, but you’re really not quite up to snuff as a CEO.”

Lin Tong sighed helplessly, “I know that Feng Liang is of bad character and I’ve heard of some of his deeds.

I’d love to fire him too, but the company isn’t as simple as you think.

Even as the CEO I can’t act solely according to my own will!

Relegating him to the warehouse was the most I could do.”

After hearing Lin Tong’s words, Ye Xuan frowned.

It seemed his wife’s position in the company was indeed under threat if she had to think twice before firing someone.

“This Feng Liang is one thing, but what’s your relationship with that female employee?”

Lin Tong glanced at Ye Xuan, her tone becoming very cold.

Ye Xuan was taken aback, looked at Lin Tong’s indifferent face, and said with a smile, “Wife, are you jealous?”

“You’re the one who’s jealous.

Pretend I didn’t ask anything!” Lin Tong turned her face away and said coldly.

Ye Xuan chuckled and said, “You’re too petty.

It’s not enough just to make her a regular; you should give her a chance to be a sales team leader.

After all, it’s just a matter of your word!”

Lin Tong replied irritably, “Do you think being a department leader is that easy?

The sales department is one of our group’s major departments, where everything speaks through performance!

As the CEO, I have to be fair.

If someone is truly capable and generates high profits for the company, I will naturally promote and give a raise.

Otherwise, I won’t consider it.”

Ye Xuan shrugged, “Alright, alright, you’re the CEO, what you say goes.”

He knew Yuan Mengmeng had just transitioned from intern to full-time employee with little experience; if she suddenly became a sales team leader, it would be hard to convince the others.

“Okay, tell me how you convinced the Flying Car Gang.”

Lin Tong changed the subject, finally steering the conversation back on track.

“Do you want to know?” Ye Xuan had a mischievous smile on his lips.

“Of course!”

Lin Tong furrowed her brows, sensing that Ye Xuan’s smile was up to no good.

Ye Xuan’s face was full of sly amusement, smiling like a crafty fox:

“Heh heh, wife, if you call out ‘Ye Xuan, I love you’ three times and give me a kiss, I’ll tell you!”
