Chapter 49 - You're Fired

“I heard that Vice President Lin is going to personally deal with him this time, a little security guard who caught the Vice President’s attention should be damn proud of himself.”

“Feng, the Director, was already Vice President Lin’s confidant, but he got sacked because of him; Vice President Lin certainly won’t let him off the hook, serves him right for being unlucky!”

“Heh heh!

Didn’t President Lin take a liking to him?

Maybe he’ll stand up for him and he won’t be fired, right?”

“Hmph!

Don’t you know?

President Lin got a tongue-lashing from the chairman today, he’s probably in closed-door reflection now, not in the mood to bother with him…”

Seeing Ye Xuan walk in, the people of the sales department whispered among themselves, some even mocking and sneering.

“Just you watch!

I bet this little security guard will be packing his bags and leaving nine times out of ten!”

An employee said with certainty.

The day before yesterday, Ye Xuan won Lin Tong’s favor and even the new goddess of the sales department, Yuan Mengmeng, had a crush on him, making him deeply jealous of Ye Xuan.

“Mengmeng, don’t worry, they can’t fire me,” Ye Xuan cast a glance at the group and said to reassure her.

“Who says I don’t dare to fire you?”

Suddenly, a sardonic voice rang out.

Lin Zifeng, dressed to the nines, strutted in arrogantly.

Seeing Lin Zifeng’s sudden appearance, the sales department fell silent instantly, looking at Ye Xuan with pitying eyes.

“Heh heh, that’ll teach you to show off!

Now that Vice President Lin himself has come, let’s see how this little security guard is going to meet his doom!”

The employee from before smiled in schadenfreude.

Lin Zifeng walked into the sales department, looked at Ye Xuan with a cold smirk, “Ye Xuan, I now formally announce that you’re fired, get the hell out of Eastern Group immediately!”

“Vice President Lin, to dismiss an employee from the company, approval from HR Manager Su is required.

Although you are the Vice President, you can’t just sack someone like that, right?” Zheng Xiaobo spoke up.

Lin Zifeng suddenly turned his head, his gaze coldly fixed on the latter: “Eastern Group belongs to my Lin Family, the chairman is my dad!

Who are you to meddle in my affairs?”

He scoffed, “Zheng Xiaobo, you’re just a security guard, what are you in front of me?

You’d best not get involved in this, or I’ll have you fired too!”

Chastised publicly, Zheng Xiaobo’s face turned awkward, but he dared not retort.

After all, the gap between their statuses was like heaven and earth!

He gave Ye Xuan a look, suggesting that he should back down, beg for mercy, and maybe the Vice President wouldn’t hold it against him.

Lin Zifeng turned around and pointed at Ye Xuan’s nose: “Are you freakin’ deaf?

What are you still standing there for?

I said get lost!

Now, just get out!!”

“Lin Zifeng, what right do you have to yell at me!

Do you not realize your own status?”

Ye Xuan lazily dug at his ear, and the next moment, his gaze sharpened, he suddenly demanded.

In an instant, the whole sales department went quiet.

Everyone was shocked that Ye Xuan dared to shout back at Lin Zifeng so brazenly, incredibly audacious!

A mere security guard, daring to question the Vice President’s status?

Not to mention anything else, the Vice President could easily squash him like a bug with just the flick of a finger.

Some had felt sympathy for Ye Xuan before, but once he spoke such words, everyone thought he was overstepping his boundaries!

Many looked at Ye Xuan as if he was an idiot, and Zheng Xiaobo’s expression changed dramatically, his face filled with urgency.

“Ye Xuan, what nonsense are you spouting, do you know who you’re talking to?

Apologize to Vice President Lin right away!” a pretty girl scolded Ye Xuan.

“That’s right!

How dare you question our Vice President Lin, what gives you the right?” another girl chimed in defiantly, her face full of scorn.

Lin Zifeng was handsome and rich despite his young age, and Ye Xuan was just a security guard; the group of little fans immediately showed dissatisfaction and looked down on him even more.

At this moment, Lin Zifeng’s face was both green and white, looking extremely ugly!

Others might not have understood the meaning of those words, but he understood them loud and clear.

This kid was showing off on the surface but actually schooling him: Lin Zifeng, I’m your brother-in-law, how dare you shout in front of me, be careful I beat the crap out of you!

Lin Zifeng indeed couldn’t retort.

Family scandals should not be publicized.

The less people knew about Ye Xuan marrying Lin Tong, the better!

After all, if word got out that the Song Family’s daughter-in-law was snatched away, it would only bring shame to the Song Family, and that would escalate the issue.

So, Lin Zifeng was feeling extremely frustrated inside!

And seeing Lin Zifeng fall silent without a response, the people of the sales department were once again shocked.

Holy smokes!

What’s going on here?

Many were taken aback.

Zheng Xiaobo nearly popped his eyeballs out!

He had thought that Lin Zifeng would be furious, but it turned out that Lin Zifeng was scolded into silence by Ye Xuan?

“Does Vice President Lin admit that his status is inferior to that little security guard?”

Those little fans were incredulous, gazing eagerly at Lin Zifeng.

For a moment, everyone’s eyes simultaneously turned to Ye Xuan.

Lin Zifeng’s expression was dark as he took a deep breath and said, “Ye Xuan, I ask you, did you beat up Director Feng the day before yesterday?”

“So what if I did?”

“Hmph, that’s correct then!”

Lin Zifeng sneered and loudly declared, “Assaulting a leader, with vulgar behavior and no respect for authority!

Eastern Group will never tolerate such despicable conduct.

As the deputy CEO of the company, I now have the right to fire you!”

“Ye Xuan is done for, daring to hit a leader in public.

Even if he’s favored by CEO Lin, he’s still going to be fired!”

A voice in the crowd coldly huffed.

Hearing her words, everyone nodded in agreement, thinking there was no way out for Ye Xuan.

Yuan Mengmeng anxiously said, “CEO Lin, although Big Brother Ye did hit Director Feng, he drove away the Flying Car Gang, and the CEO did not blame him.

You can’t fire him.”

Lin Zifeng scornfully replied, “The Flying Car Gang backed off because they saw the face of the Lin Family, not because of him.

I must fire him!”

“Exactly, what our CEO Lin said is right.

You don’t really think it was his doing, do you?” some girls sided against Ye Xuan.

“What is all this noise about?” came a voice as cool as an orchid in an ice valley.

A tall, beautiful silhouette approached, carrying a chilly charisma, with long legs and brows like fine art, and skin as smooth as jade!

Su Yumo was dressed in a light blue suit, which accentuated her full chest, as she elegantly and slowly walked over like an orchid blooming alone in a valley.

She had just returned from reporting to Lin Tong and had come in upon hearing the argument.

“Yumo, why did you come?”

Lin Zifeng’s eyes lit up, and he quickly went over to her.

“Please call me Manager Su.”

Su Yumo ignored Lin Zifeng’s attentiveness and asked indifferently, “What is CEO Lin doing here?”

Lin Zifeng glanced at Ye Xuan, “Manager Su, you’re just in time.

This Ye Xuan assaulted a leader without cause, has bad character, and I’m requesting to fire him!”

He looked at Su Yumo with fiery eyes.

As the icy goddess of the Eastern Group, sought after by countless, Su Yumo was not short of admirers, and Lin Zifeng was one of them!

“Ye Xuan?”

Su Yumo’s gaze flickered slightly as she asked, “You say he assaulted a leader, so you want to fire him?”

Lin Zifeng smiled eagerly, saying confidently, “That’s right!

Everyone in the sales department saw him hitting someone.

Eastern Company doesn’t need such a barbarian!”

Su Yumo fell silent.

Although Lin Tong had instructed her not to fire Ye Xuan, if he really did assault a leader, she would not hesitate to be ruthless.

“Vice President Lin, I didn’t realize you have the knack for turning black into white, quite like that old bastard.”

Ye Xuan’s lips curled up sardonically as he spoke lazily, “Feng Liang, that old lecherous scoundrel, bullied men and women, abused his power to collude with the Flying Car Gang, embezzled funds, and blatantly coerced his subordinates!

Why aren’t you mentioning any of that?”

Curiosity filled the crowd upon hearing this, wondering who this old bastard Ye Xuan was referring to was.

Lin Zifeng’s mouth twitched; this damn troublemaker had managed to insult him and the entire Eastern family with just one sentence!

Just as he was about to speak, Su Yumo interrupted him, “CEO Lin, is what he’s saying true?”

“Yes.”

Lin Zifeng hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Uncovering Feng Liang’s misdeeds wouldn’t be difficult, and with the relationship between Su Yumo and Lin Tong, a single phone call would reveal all.

“In that case, I regret that I cannot fire Ye Xuan,” Su Yumo spoke softly.

Lin Zifeng frowned, asserting undeniably, “Manager Su, I am commanding you in my capacity as vice president, please fire Ye Xuan!”

“CEO Lin, that’s quite the authority you’re wielding.

Are you abusing your power, trying to meddle in my work?” Su Yumo’s voice turned a few degrees colder.

Lin Zifeng had no choice but to appease her, “Yumo, you’ve misunderstood me.

I’m just looking out for the best interest of the company!

Since you say not to fire him, fine, I’ll listen to you.”

After all, Su Yumo was the woman he adored!

For Lin Zifeng, getting rid of Ye Xuan wasn’t worth alienating the goddess in his heart, so he had no choice but to abandon that plan for the time being.
