Chapter 670: 665 The company became the sacrifice

His swift and decisive actions instilled a sense of inexplicable fear in many people’s hearts.

In everyone’s eyes, Gu Chen was fully exhibiting leadership qualities at this moment.

Normally, Gu Chen wouldn’t spend much time at the company, and gradually everyone began to assume that he was simply a man capable of filling sacks with money.

In reality, however, he lacked none of the traits that other company bosses possessed.

It was just that Gu Chen had a gentle nature, so in his day-to-day interactions with all the employees, regardless of their position, he was very polite.

This very courtesy was what led many employees to believe they could overstep their bounds.

Today’s meeting had brought an unexpected gain for Gu Chen.

If Tai Ming hadn’t caused a scene, he would never have known such employees existed within the company.

Now that it had come to this, there was no need for further idle talk.

He was certain to sue Tai Ming to the end.

Not for anything else, but even if just to make an example, Tai Ming must pay a price.

He had to make many employees understand that he was the sole person in charge of the Baijiu Company.

He also had to maintain control over every affair within the Baijiu Company. Nothing could be executed without his command, and it wasn’t his prerogative to decide any employee’s departure.

After the meeting, including Tai Ming and the remaining eleven sales representatives,

It seemed that there was confusion on everyone’s faces, and even some who had not anticipated such an outcome seemed at a loss.

Think back to the beginning.

When the four sales representatives joined the company as newcomers, each of their tasks was assigned by Gu Chen.

Who could have imagined that three out of these four sales representatives would turn traitor?

If this were to get out, it would surely become a laughingstock for many.

But Gu Chen was not discouraged. He knew that there were still some employees in the company who had never thought of such things.

There was no need for him to take his anger out on others over this matter.

The deed was done, and he had to accept it with good grace and find out exactly what problems had emerged within the company.

Because only by identifying the problems could he find the right solution.

At that moment, Gu Chen returned to his office.

No sooner had he entered than someone knocked on the door of the office.

"Come in," Gu Chen said directly at this time.

After he spoke, the door was pushed open, and a girl walked in.

This girl was none other than the girl from the finance department who was in a relationship with Tai Ming.

Gu Chen looked at her coldly, wondering what she wanted by coming to see him.

"Boss, I-I-I didn’t do it on purpose.

It was all Tai Ming. He forced me to do this. He said he wouldn’t love me if I didn’t, and I just showed him the company’s financial situation, I didn’t show him anything secretive."

She was very flustered at this moment, explaining to Gu Chen in such a way.

It was as if she wanted Gu Chen to understand that her actions were out of desperation.

But after hearing her words, Gu Chen didn’t feel the slightest bit of pity in his heart.

"So am I to understand that, for the sake of your relationship with him, you treated the company’s interests as a sacrifice for your personal affection?"

"Do you have no professional ethics? Don’t you have your professional bottom line? Don’t you have principles?"

Gu Chen directly asked them three questions at this point.

But when he faced these three questions, he couldn’t answer even one.

She stammered for a long time, unable to speak a word.

Gu Chen’s questions were simply too fatal for him.

"I’ve seen everything you’ve done, and I can tell you frankly, many things you are doing now infringe on the company’s rights, and the company’s decision to fire you is justified and legal,"

Gu Chen continued to say this to her.

The young woman started to choke up upon hearing this.

Then she hurriedly said to Gu Chen, "Boss, this was not my intention, and it’s fine if you want to fire me, but can you please not sue me?"

She understood very clearly that there was no chance or possibility for her to stay with the company any longer.

Therefore, she was now asking for the next best thing, not hoping for anything else, but simply wishing that Gu Chen would be magnanimous and not pursue her legal responsibilities.

Gu Chen felt no reaction inside upon hearing this.

As an adult, one should take responsibility for their mistakes, and yet this young woman was choosing to evade them.

"I’m sorry, I can’t answer your question. We still need to further assess the extent of the damage you two have caused to the company,"

Gu Chen shook his head firmly and rejected her request right then and there.

Upon hearing this, the young woman suddenly started crying.

Her crying was so loud and pitiful, anyone unaware of the context might think Gu Chen was in the wrong, that she had suffered great injustice.

For a moment, Gu Chen didn’t know what to say to her.

"Had you known this day would come, why did you do it in the first place? If you hadn’t harbored such wishful thinking, perhaps you wouldn’t have to bear such a heavy responsibility now."

After saying this, Gu Chen just watched as the young woman continued to sob.

"I really didn’t expect it to turn out this way.

I was deceived by him; he said he was just looking, and I didn’t expect he would tell anyone,"

the young woman explained to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen didn’t say anything else after hearing this.

Indeed, if Tai Ming hadn’t been too arrogant today, he wouldn’t have revealed this matter, and if he hadn’t revealed it, it would have posed a threat to Gu Chen.

If Tai Ming had left the company holding a grudge and remotely manipulated this young woman to control the company’s finances, it would have been very easy for issues to arise.

In running a company, Gu Chen always exercised extreme caution.

He was very aware that problems in the finance department could very easily land the company’s directors in jail.

And such news was often reported.

Especially in the coming years, when nouveaux riches would proliferate, many people had no real concept of money, especially those nouveaux riches who didn’t even know how to run a company.

Some of these nouveaux riches would appoint their relatives to seemingly crucial positions, but those relatives, not knowing a thing, could be easily schemed against and ruin everything with their meddling.

Some more sensible bosses would employ professional financial staff.

But even that did not mean the company would be safe.

Some financiers were very clever, never shirking responsibility for financial obligations that should have been met.
