667: Chapter 667: Workplace Overlord!

Does your conscience not hurt?

Tang Xiao’s accusation, like a thunderclap by the ear, or a needle piercing the heart.

This moment made Deng Hua and the others feel even more ashamed.

With a cold glance, Tang Xiao scoffed and said:

“I’m not measuring you against a saint’s standards, nor am I sizing myself up with a villain’s ruler!”

“I have no intention of belittling or mocking you today, because I am not a perfect person myself!”

“Some say I am domineering and autocratic, some curse me as cruel and heartless, and there are even those who mock me as a cold-blooded animal driven solely by profit!”

“But what I want to say is, why are humans human, and not beasts!

Not only do they have self-awareness, but they also have ethics and morals!”

Tang Xiao stretched out her hand and banged on the table several times.

Only when Deng Hua and the others looked up did Tang Xiao continue:

“What is professional ethics?

It is to be worthy of your job, your position, no matter what job you hold, and your conscience!”

“As the president of the group, if I do whatever I want, act capriciously, can I be worthy of the shareholders, the investors, and the hundreds of thousands of employees?”

“And your professional ethics?”

Tang Xiao turned her gaze toward Chu Yunxuan.

“You previously held the position of Sales Director, had the capabilities and the experience, as well as management expertise!”

“At your former company, could employees casually accept gifts?

If their work performance was poor, could they find any excuse to shirk their duties?”

“Saying that you’re striving for excellence, you don’t proactively seek out business deals, do you think quality advertisers will queue up at your door?”

“Such a great platform I gave you to manage marketing, making ten billion in yearly advertising profits, and you’re complacent, right?”

“Do you believe if I replaced you, we wouldn’t need to wait until the end of the year to reach twenty billion, and all from quality merchants?”

Chu Yunxuan clenched her teeth over her red lips and lowered her head.

This moment.

She was truly at a loss for words, completely unable to stand against Tang Xiao’s sharpness, to answer her questioning.

After all, Tang Xiao was seeking the truth in facts.

No business trips, no flying all over the world.

No initiative in liaising with quality merchants, no serious follow-ups or in-depth communications.

How to attract customers?

How to talk business?

Just shuttling back and forth between home, the company, and the beauty salon, in a loop, and business will come knocking on its own?

“Why are you looking down?

Weren’t you very proud?” Tang Xiao asked with a smile, “When I recruited you, I had big reservations, but my husband said you were competent and capable of doing the marketing work well.

And the result?”

“These free trial products of international luxury brands, you sure use them well, dressing up in top brands from head to toe, turning yourself into a walking advertisement.

Performance is lacking, but dressing up, you’re top-notch!”

Chu Yunxuan’s cheeks were a fiery red.

Her gaze shifting, Tang Xiao looked at Deng Hua and Chen Yong with a smile playing at her lips.

“Between brothers, there should be mutual protection, ready to go through fire and water for each other.

But the two of you, you were almost ready to stab my husband in the back!”

“Chu Yunxuan, she’s in charge of advertising; advertisers give her trial products, she tests their authenticity, that I can understand.

But what about you?”

“You, a software engineer, must dress in Versace shirts and Armani trousers to look trendy enough?”

“You say you’re in charge of technology, so where’s your technology?

Do you have a development plan?

Any new feature expansions?

Any innovative ideas?”

“You have nothing.

Everything depends on my husband’s development.

What’s the use of keeping all of you around?

To meditate in front of a computer all day?”

“Other companies’ software is continuously optimized and digs deep into the potential of users.

And the team you lead?

Doesn’t it have any technical plans?”

“Do you know there’s a newly developed software conversion tool?

Enough to trigger a revolution in the software industry?”

…

As Tang Xiao spoke, she waved her hand dismissively.

“Alright, alright, I really don’t want to criticize you!”

Skipping Deng Hua, Tang Xiao glanced at Chen Yong, who was still looking down.

“Old Chen, I won’t ask too much about the company’s business, but the company must continue to grow and go international!”

“Have you taken your international certified accountant exam?

Do you understand international trade theory and settlements, as well as import and export trade practices?”

“I’m afraid even business English is a challenge for you!

If the company gets involved in international trade negotiations, would you still need an interpreter?”

“In the past couple of days, with these international big companies negotiating business, could you handle tax law and trade work?”

…

Chen Yong finally looked up.

He glanced at Deng Hua somewhat blankly, and Deng Hua looked towards Chu Yunxuan.

What’s going on?

Why is the company suddenly getting involved in international trade?

Super international corporations like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, what kind of business do they want to discuss with us?

In that instant.

The three of them felt as if a teacher had suddenly asked a question in class, and they were completely clueless.

Seeing the three of them acting this way.

Tang Xiao couldn’t help but slap her forehead and shake her head repeatedly.

“It’s my fault!

It’s all my fault!”

“I thought that as executives of the company, you would definitely be strict with yourselves, constantly studying and improving, enhancing your professional quality and capability!”

“Looking back now, you haven’t worked for a Fortune 500 company.

That in itself says it all!”

“Entrusting you to manage such a high-quality enterprise is truly a waste, and I’ve overestimated all of you!”

Standing up, Tang Xiao picked up her briefcase, ready to leave.

“Everyone, hurry back, pack up, and prepare to seek new opportunities!”

“Besides…

there’s no need to leave the trial products behind—they can be considered your severance package!”

With those words, Tang Xiao started to walk away.

“Hey, President Tang, Xiao…

Sister…”

Deng Hua stood up abruptly and began to call out in succession.

Unfortunately, Tang Xiao didn’t stop at all.

“We’re finished!

This is the end!”

Chen Yong banged his head against the conference table in self-reproach, shaking his head over and over, sighing without end.

Chu Yunxuan was utterly dumbfounded.

Thinking she had climbed the social ladder through Wu Jie, become the vice president of Star Cloud Internet Technology, and taken control of the marketing and advertising power, she thought her life was about to reach its peak.

But who could have expected…

Because of a lack of initiative, because of greed for petty benefits, Tang Xiao did not hesitate to cut off her own promising future.

How could life’s ups and downs come so quickly?

What to do now?

She had been hoping to use her substantial salary savings and year-end bonuses to buy a big house of her own at Tianyuan by the end of the year.

Coming from a small remote county to this bustling metropolis.

For the sake of buying a house, Chu Yunxuan was unwavering.

But how could she…

have made such a serious mistake?

Lacking initiative, she hadn’t thought about continuously generating profits for the company, increasing advertising revenue.

Coveting cheap advantages, the luxury goods that she once wanted to buy but couldn’t afford were now sent for free, and she couldn’t wait to show them off, eager for envy and jealousy.

“Where’s my fighting spirit?

My grand ambition and aspirations?

My refusal to admit defeat?”

Chu Yunxuan felt despondent.

She had thought she could take on Tang Xiao head-to-head.

But the result…

From the moment she dressed in many luxury brands, becoming a ‘mixed platter’, Chu Yunxuan knew she had already lost.

She also finally understood.

Why, as a sales director, her position was precarious and could never be guaranteed.

In the workplace, many things were unrelated to education, appearance, or talent.

Attitude determines destiny, details determine success or failure!

Tang Xiao was able to learn and grow at an extremely fast pace in Tanglong Industrial Group, advancing from the bottom to president.

It certainly wasn’t just because of her father, but rather her remarkable abilities.

She had professional ethics and a positive attitude, and an unyielding spirit of enterprise.

After all.

A transnational corporation with tens of thousands of employees, among the top five hundred in the world.

Even if a person with no abilities got to be president due to connections, they couldn’t keep the position.

Shareholders and the public want profits, employees want salaries and benefits, everyone would be like whipping it forward.

President?

It’s not as easy as it seems.

And what about herself?

She was only a vice president in a newly established IT company because of the boss’ favor.

She hadn’t achieved much before she swelled with pride and forgot herself.

She deserved it!

Feeling that being fired by Tang Xiao was truly a deserved punishment.

If she wasn’t fired, that would be irresponsible towards the company and the boss, Wu Jie.

As the majority shareholder and also the boss’s wife, if Tang Xiao didn’t fire her, was she supposed to keep them for the New Year?

…

Chu Yunxuan fell silent, having come to an understanding.

At that moment.

Smelling the scent of Chanel perfume on her body, looking at the expensive watch and long dress…

She felt like a beggar who had stolen from luxury stores.

Dressed ostensibly in splendor, she thought others wouldn’t see her as a beggar anymore, but she couldn’t disguise her inner poverty.

It was a classic case of ‘a monkey wearing a crown’.

Like the proverbial monkey, who thought putting on a hat made it human, yet foolishly empty of anything but appearances.

Chu Yunxuan turned her head slightly.

Chen Yong was sighing, full of self-reproach.

Deng Hua couldn’t hold back any longer and was already calling Wu Jie.

“We’re sorry, the user you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment, please try again later…”

“We’re sorry…”

After several attempts, still no answer.

Deng Hua immediately asked Chen Yong to try calling with his phone, of course with no success.

“What’s going on?

Could Jie still be taking a nap?”

“Could he be ignoring our calls on purpose?” Chen Yong said in shame, “We’ve been such a disappointment to him; maybe we’ve hurt him too deeply!”

Deng Hua immediately shook his head, “Impossible!

President Tang obviously made a snap decision just now!”

Tossing the phone back to Chen Yong, Deng Hua then proceeded to chase after her.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to plead with President Tang!

If all else fails, I will go to Jie’s house and apologize!”

Deng Hua was frantic.

He was under great financial pressure!

His mother and girlfriend were still recuperating at home, and the mortgage payment was due every month.

It was entirely thanks to borrowing over a million from Wu Jie that he could manage to live not so tight.

If he really was fired, let alone repaying the money, he wouldn’t even know how to support his family.

Initially, to save face, he agreed to deduct the debt from his salary every month, so Deng Hua didn’t have a salary.

But he was hoping for a generous year-end bonus at year’s end, to have a fat year, a grand wedding.

Next year, he could be earning a million annual salary with substantial bonuses; perhaps he could pay off the mortgage in one year and skip from poverty to a well-off life.

If he could get stock dividends or even if the company went public…

becoming a billionaire wasn’t impossible.

But now…

Just as the beautiful dream began, Tang Xiao extinguished it in an instant.

Truly the corporate Thanos!

Could she really be blamed for being heartless?

Dressed in free designer clothes, driving the company’s Mercedes, he got ahead of himself, thinking he’s a successful elite.

He didn’t stop to think about what he weighed, who he was.

Instead of striving to improve and diligently work, he started enjoying life before escaping poverty, becoming way too arrogant too soon.

…

Upon leaving the conference room, the spectacle was even more magnificent.

Tang Xiao had taken a round through the company, and caught over twenty people surfing the internet and playing games.

Without exception, all were fired!

Deng Hua was likewise speechless.

Had all these people’s brains been kicked by a donkey?

Knowing the boss’s wife was there and still messing around during work hours?

They really deserved to be fired!

Finally catching a moment when Tang Xiao was free, Deng Hua hurried over, just about to speak…

“In twenty minutes, the person I’ve arranged will come to take over the work, have the two in the conference room prepare as well!”

“Besides those twenty-some people, the rest will undergo business assessments, and anyone who fails will be terminated!”

“Lastly, stop calling Wu Jie.

If I were you, I wouldn’t have the face to see him.”

“About the money you owe, I’ll allow you to pay it back slowly, but don’t think for a second about not repaying it!”

“Even blood brothers should settle accounts clearly, I won’t let you cheat my husband twice!”

After a brief pause, Tang Xiao saw Chu Yunxuan.

“It was you who said that the house in Tianyuan Haoting was provided by the company as free accommodation for senior executives!”

“Now that you’re no longer one, please vacate it as soon as possible, so I can arrange for a competent and responsible new executive to move in!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunxuan fainted on the spot…
