Chapter 1391: 945 Okay

The well-known talented woman of the Sha City Sanjian Courtyard indeed does not live up to her name in vain.

Fang Qing’s arguments, like mercury flowing smoothly, turned her "making a big deal over a small issue" into "scraping the bone to cure the poison," leaving everyone unable to refute, and willingly convinced.

Where there are people, there is The Jianghu.

Even a "family business" is no exception.

Family businesses also have their share of infighting, profit battles, and power struggles.

Clearly, things could have been settled quietly, but Fang Qing insisted on making a big move, directly or indirectly leading to Li Shao’s resignation out of accountability. Not to mention the entire company, even Luo Peng, or even Bai Zheli, would find it difficult not to let their imaginations run wild.

Don’t forget.

Li Shuru is about to graduate.

To be fair, Luo Peng doesn’t think his junior is a narrow-minded person, but establishing one’s own authority has nothing to do with narrow-mindedness.

Moreover, in The Jianghu, it’s hard to act on one’s own will; some things must be done, even if they are not one’s original intention. This is reality.

The newly brought-in Lawyer Fang is undoubtedly a very fitting tool.

"It was enlightening, truly enlightening, I was too shallow."

While smiling and applauding, Luo Peng, whether the high-profile investigation into internal corruption is really as said just for the company’s long-term consideration, and not for ulterior motives, at least at this moment, should be considered as such.

"With Lawyer Fang overseeing the legal department, I believe the company’s atmosphere and discipline will greatly improve."

Bai Zheli also nodded in agreement.

"Based on your points earlier, it indeed makes sense. Textbooks have long told us not to do evil just because it’s minor. We’re not targeting an individual but using this opportunity to implant a memory anchor of ’investigate all corrupt acts, pursue all bribes’ across the entire company to solve problems once and for all."

Jiang Chen summarized and evaluated the actions of Fang Qing, then turned to Li Shao.

"Shao Geer, regarding your issue..."

He smiled and said, "According to what Fang Qing just said, observe the faults to know one’s benevolence—those people who are corrupt and take bribes, satisfying personal greed by sacrificing the company’s interests, have fundamental issues. It’s like the foundation of a building being flawed; there’s no other way to fix it but to tear it down and rebuild it, but you’re different."

"Legal trials judge criminals as either civil or criminal, with terms of five to ten years, definite or indefinite sentences. You do have a responsibility for oversight, but resigning or even demanding the company fire you over such a minor issue—isn’t that a joke?"

Jiang Chen laughed, "If truly done, employees might think it’s a righteous act of sacrificing one’s kin for justice, but if they see it as taking away someone’s power with a cup of wine, the impact would be huge, Shao Geer, wouldn’t you say?"

The seemingly light-hearted joke made the meeting room instantly quiet.

Luo Peng’s expression tightened, observing Jiang Chen, whose face seemed natural, as if speaking without thinking.

Bai Zheli gazed down, deep in thought.

As the source of all this, the impartial and swift Fang Qing said no more.

"Senior, everyone knows your character, and the entire company knows. From university until now, you all still being together is known to us as a rare and lucky thing. Sitting in this position, not only must you know how to recognize and use people, but you also must bear some unavoidable pressures. Leaving now is not taking responsibility, it’s shifting blame, it’s evading—passing the entire burden to Brother Luo and the others. If I recall correctly, you were their dorm leader, weren’t you?"

Aside from Jiang Chen and Fang Qing, Luo Peng and Bai Zheli’s gazes coincidentally moved to that famous junior’s face in the school.

Li Shao’s lips moved, yet he was left without words.

"Shao Geer, as Shu Rui mentioned, at Dong University, we were a legendary dormitory. Are you sure you want to leave us to fly solo?" Jiang Chen responded.

Li Shao gave a bitter smile.

"Alright, regarding this incident, our HR Director indeed failed in his duties. I suggest deducting his annual performance bonus and having him conduct a deep reflection within the company’s management for self-examination and learning a lesson."

Seeing the time was about right, Luo Peng cleared his throat and spoke up.

"I support Luo Ge’s handling suggestion."

Bai Zheli immediately expressed his stance.

Jiang Chen raised his hand with a smile, "Seconded."

"Senior, you must consider how to write your review," Li Shuru said with a slight smile.

Li Shao opened his mouth, hesitating, finally smiling with guilt and gratitude, then stood up solemnly, and bowed, "Sorry for troubling everyone."

Then, he straightened up, "I will immediately write a review, ensuring it’s thorough, detailed, and comprehensive."

Everyone was amused.

Li Shao left.

"You really have a way," Luo Peng sighed in relief to Jiang Chen.

"It’s not about me; it’s our CEO Li’s eloquence," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.

Luo Peng glanced at Li Shuru.

"The meeting’s not over yet. Since the HR Director left, Li Xue Mei, give the proposed promotion list to Jiang Chen for review. He will decide."

After saying this, Luo Peng stood up, "Xiao Bai, let’s go, breakfast awaits."

Bai Zheli followed him, being grabbed by the shoulder as they exited. "What did you mean by that ’Emperor’s Scheme’ earlier? Explain."

Indeed, Director Luo is a keen and eager-to-learn individual.

It’s fine not knowing, but one must ask.

"That’s some psychological techniques, divided into thirty-six heavenly schemes and seventy-two earthly schemes."

"Thirty-six heavens, seventy-two earths? Sounds mystical. How come I’ve never heard of it?"

"Not having heard of it isn’t necessarily a bad thing."

"Are you mocking me?"

"No, Luo Ge, there’s one scheme among them that you must have heard of."
