Chapter 1392: 945 Okay_2

"What kind of game?"

"A soul-snatching scheme."

"Have I heard of it?"

"In simpler terms, it’s just PUA."

"PUA existed that early? Tell me more about it."

Their voices grew more distant.

In the conference room.

Only one man and two women remained.

This is the kind of moment when you really can’t show any awkwardness.

"How long have you been here?"

Boss Jiang had seen many big scenes, showing no hint of anomaly.

"Fifty-eight days."

True to being a lawyer, meticulous to the last detail.

"Fifty-eight days without a word to me, are you all in collusion?"

Fang Qing looked over, as if giving a slight hint of injustice for Li Shuru, "Isn’t it because you’re too busy?"

"Sister Fang Qing, he’s been very tired too. He just got back yesterday and fell asleep in his chair at the company."

Li Shuru didn’t complain; instead, she helped explain for her boyfriend.

Yet the more she did this, the more Jiang Chen inevitably felt guilty, "This period, indeed there was a lot going on."

"You guys talk."

Fang Qing stood up, either to get busy with work or to deliberately leave room for the two of them.

Jiang Chen instinctively opened his mouth but eventually didn’t call out to stop her.

"I’ve sent the list of proposed promotions to your email, take a look when you have time," Li Shuru said.

"Did you support her in doing this?"

With no one else around, Jiang Chen asked indifferently,

"If you’re talking about the internal investigation, yes."

Li Shuru responded succinctly and decisively.

Jiang Chen furrowed his brows.

"Tianci has developed way too quickly from its founding till now, completely unlike the pace of a typical company. Rapid growth fosters a series of problems. Currently, Tianci is like a bloated overeater; clearly not old, but its weight increases daily. In such a state, there will surely be health issues, so it needs a thorough check-up from inside out. The longer the delay, the worse it will get."

Jiang Chen’s brows tightened, then relaxed, and he smiled slightly, "That’s the demeanor of a general manager."

"You didn’t think I was targeting Li Shao, did you?"

Li Shuru looked at him.

All smart people here.

Jiang Chen maintained an unchanged expression and said casually, "Conflicts between brothers and girlfriends are normal, aren’t they? What’s important is how the company perceives it."

"I don’t care how they think. Luo Peng is concerned about your brotherly bond, so I’m left to play the villain."

After saying this, Li Shuru stood up.

"Where are you going?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"I’ve done both what I should and shouldn’t do, back to school."

Li Shuru walked out of the office.

Jiang Chen smiled wryly.

All this fuss over a joke, why get upset?

Sitting alone in the conference room for a moment, Jiang Chen rubbed his face, stood up, and went to the legal department he couldn’t visit yesterday.

"Where is Lawyer Fang’s office?"

"General Jiang, please follow me."

"Knock knock knock... Lawyer Fang, General Jiang is here."

"Come in."

"Thank you."

Jiang Chen politely thanked and pushed the door open, closing it behind him, and glanced around, "Not bad, quite spacious."

Back at Tianhe, she didn’t have such treatment, no private office, just a workstation.

"Does General Jiang have any instructions?"

Sitting behind the desk, Fang Qing lifted her coffee, her gaze still fixed on the computer.

"No instructions, just checking in to console you a bit since you’re purging the company of its problems, that’s the least I could do."

Jiang Chen didn’t sit but walked to the desk, "Coffee in the morning, what kind of habit is that?"

"Does the company have a rule against drinking coffee in the morning?"

Jiang Chen was momentarily at a loss for words and observed Qing Mei’s complexion closely, "Didn’t sleep well last night?"

"Are you feeling the pressure of taking on such heavy tasks so soon after arriving?"

In truth, if there’s anyone under the greatest pressure, it’s not Li Shao but Fang Qing.

Just arriving and already leading an internal audit, one couldn’t imagine how many people she’d offend.

"Shu Rui can help relieve some burdens for you, but there are things no one can shoulder in your place. What you’re doing will make it hard to make friends in the company in the future."

"I’m here to work, not to make friends."

Fang Qing’s response remained succinct.

Jiang Chen directly sat obliquely on the desk, "Why the hurry? You could wait, at least until you’re more seasoned before acting. That might improve the situation."

"By then, the losses might be more than 800,000."

Fang Qing turned her gaze away from the computer and answered.

Jiang Chen laughed wryly, "This isn’t even your company; you should be thinking about yourself, how to survive better in this enterprise."

"Are you suggesting I just coast along? Like a civil servant, come in every day, drink tea, read the paper, or chat with colleagues."

"Be careful not to get accused of slandering state officials." Jiang Chen chuckled.

"You’re the head of the company, can’t you mind your image a bit?"

Fang Qing looked at him sitting on the desk.

"No one’s coming in."

Though he said that, Jiang Chen still slid down from the desk, "Since this has happened, let’s not dwell on it. Handle similar issues more calmly in the future, don’t be so aggressive."

"Are you referring to the embezzlement matter?"

Fang Qing asked.

Jiang Chen paused, looked at her with a faint smile, and replied, "What else then."

Fang Qing also smiled, "As an entrepreneur, you couldn’t be so impotent as to allow subordinates to sell out the company’s interests. Otherwise, your business wouldn’t run this big."

Jiang Chen said nothing, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"You might be overthinking it, Li Shuru probably isn’t targeting your few friends."

"Did I say that?"

Fang Qing remained unfazed, "Once you decide to put them all in a company, you should trust them fully."

"Not enough indoctrination during the meeting, so you want more lectures now?"

Jiang Chen teased,

"You’ve read quite a bit of books."

Fang Qing belatedly complimented.

In the demeanor of one who wasn’t impressed with the imperial-official discourse he had just intercepted in the conference room, Jiang Chen chuckled.

"Don’t make a fuss, now that you’re in Tianci, you’ll increasingly feel my talent."

"Anything else?"

Fang Qing seemed unable to continue listening to him.

"Shu Rui handed me the list, you’re responsible for this matter. The gaps that opened are a result of you unseating people. Now with Li Shao at a standstill, you’re in charge, internal audits, you likely have a grasp of the company’s middle management situation, so you decide."

"You’re quite the hands-off boss, aren’t you."

"The lower people toil physically, the middle people toil mentally, the higher people toil through men."

Jiang Chen showed no shame, stood up, "Originally planned to treat you to a meal, but on second thought, I dropped it."

Fang Qing looked at him.

"Shu Rui should have invited you, right.

What does it mean to be brazen.

Not spilling coffee on him counts as self-control.

"You can leave now."

Fang Qing turned her gaze back to the computer.

"Knock knock knock..."

Jiang Chen tapped the table with his hand.

Fang Qing looked at him wordlessly.

"A new official lights three fires, that logic is fine, but don’t turn yourself into the firewood for the sake of face."

"Stop spouting nonsense here."

Fang Qing replied, "What I’m doing has nothing to do with anyone. Whether Tianci involves factional strife or someone wants to establish authority, it has nothing to do with me, I’m just doing what I ought to do."

"I mentioned in the meeting, since I’m sitting in this position, receiving this pay, enjoying this treatment, I have to deserve it. If anyone dares to embezzle even a penny from the company, I’ll make them pay."

Sister,

it’s not even your own company.

Why take it so seriously.

Jiang Chen wanted to say that, but considering he might really get hit, he wisely held back.

"Just talk, no need to get so worked up."

"Am I worked up?"

Jiang Chen nodded earnestly, "Although you have your work nature, there’s no need to make yourself look intimidating or hard to approach, righteousness brings clarity, integrity brings dignity. I don’t want you to end up prematurely aged because of this job, then Uncle Fang would come after me."

It’s clearly a compliment, but coming from him, it sounded infuriating.

Fang Qing ground her teeth, not bothering with propriety anymore, pointed to the office door, "Get out, immediately, right now."

"Alright then."

Jiang Chen showed not a shred of boss attitude, playfully saluted with a raised hand, and then dutifully left quickly.
