Chapter 161: Must Be Decisive

Xu Zhong never expected that Ye Qingran would be so domineering.

Once he said that all the information had been given, he wanted to fire him without a second thought.

He stared at Ye Qingran’s eyes, his eyeballs almost falling out of their sockets. His face was as pale as a ghost, and he had not yet recovered from his shock. “What did you say?”

Ye Qingran said coldly, “I will only give you three minutes. After three minutes, I will ask the security guards to throw you out. I will have your assistant to mail your personal belongings back to you.”

Then, she looked at Hua Rong beside her and said, “Time it immediately. Not a second more.”

The air was completely silent.

Everyone was stunned as they watched the scene in front of them.

Ye Qingran’s gaze swept across the crowd. This area was under Xu Zhong’s jurisdiction, so naturally, he would not lack any trusted aides.

She said slowly, “If you feel that it is unfair and you are not convinced, you can leave with him now.”

No one dared to make a sound.

The young man in front of them was so decisive that they did not even dare to breath deeply, afraid that they would suffer an unexpected disaster.

Xu Zhong, who was almost 50 years old, was already used to big changes, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

His entire face changed, and he shouted, “I have signed a contract with the company. What right do you have to dismiss me without any reason? I want to look for Chairman Ye!”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, as if it was going to explode in the next second. Everyone’s heartstrings tensed up as they stared at Ye Qingran in a daze.

Ye Qingran completely ignored Xu Zhong’s words and asked Hua Rong beside her, “Has the timer started?”

Hua Rong nodded as she felt her heart almost jump out of her chest. “It’s already been a minute.”

Ye Qingran hummed softly. Her gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on a man in his forties.

She said to him, “You, call security.”

The middle-aged man was suddenly called out. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and quickly followed her instructions.

At this moment, someone walked forward and looked at Ye Qingran. “Young Master Ye, all the employees in the company have signed a contract. You’re violating the labor law by doing this.”

Another female employee at the side also echoed, “Yes, the company has to give a notice period for the employees to be fired, and they also have to pay compensation…”

Ye Qingran naturally did not recognize them. She glanced at Hua Rong from the corner of her eyes.

Hua Rong immediately walked to Ye Qingran’s side and quietly introduced these two people to her. They were both Xu Zhong’s trusted aides.

The one who spoke first was equivalent to the supervisor of this area.

As for the female employee who was currently speaking, she seemed to have a rather unusual relationship with Xu Zhong.

“Moreover, Xu Zhong is a veteran employee. He has done his best for the company. If you fire him just like that, it will cause all the employees to feel a chill in their hearts…”

Ye Qingran raised her hand and interrupted her words. “You are also fired! Similarly, you are not allowed to take anything from the company. Get out immediately.”

The female employee widened her eyes in disbelief and her tone instantly became very high, “What?”

Xu Zhong could not contain his anger and his face turned red. “I want to look for Chairman Ye.”

Ye Qingran said coldly, “Logically speaking, three minutes should be up.”

Hua Rong, who was beside her, immediately reported, “One more minute.”

Xu Zhong immediately shouted, “I’m not leaving. I want to see Chairman Ye. I want to ask him if the company is going to be so heartless after all the hard work I put in for the company and treating the company as my own home.”

Ye Qingran said, “You used the company’s project to illegally profit from it. It’s already very kind of me not to file a lawsuit against you. Where did you get the face to scold the company for being heartless?”

Xu Zhong asked, “How did I use the company’s project to illegally profit from it? Are you deliberately framing me?”

Ye Qingran said, “There’s a major problem with the data for Project 0315. I’ve asked you again and again, and you told me that the data isn’t lacking and that the data is complete. Now, I’m not only suspecting that you used the company’s project to illegally profit from it, I’m also suspecting that you’re a commercial spy sent by another company to the Ye Corporation.”

What? Everyone was shocked.

Using the company’s project to illegally profit from it?

Was this true or false? However, they had checked the project data many times and did not find any problems.

How did Young Master Ye find out that there was a problem.

Ye Qingran looked at everyone and said, “The company’s Investment Security Department is different from the other departments. Everyone often works overtime, so the company has always turned a blind eye to everyone’s attendance. As long as everyone completes their work, it will be fine. The company is grateful for everyone’s sense of responsibility and knows that you have worked hard, so it gives everyone the best benefits. However, this does not mean that you can use the company to illegally profit!”

Her voice was very slow, and every word was very clear. It sounded faint, but in their ears, it was like a sharp blade of ice piercing through the air.

Xu Zhong immediately denied, “I didn’t, don’t accuse me. I’ve already given you all the data. That’s all, there isn’t anything else.”

At this point, he naturally could only deny it.

But the person he met today was Ye Qingran, who was very attentive to numbers.

Ye Qingran threw the document on the table and pointed at a few places. “You said it was normal. Now explain it to me.”

Xu Zhong felt a cold sweat dripping down his back.

He looked at Ye Qingran and could not believe it. The data was so professional that even Ye Hanzhi did not discover it, how did Ye Qingran discover it.

Xu Zhong calmed himself down and said, “How is there a problem here? It’s obviously normal data, but you dislike me and deliberately want to fire me. Today, everyone has seen it, I will definitely sue you at the Labor Union.”

“Oh, is that so?” Ye Qingran did not mind.

She looked at Xu Zhong again, her half-smile tone was as cold as ice, and there was a hint of mockery in her tone. “Then I welcome you to file a lawsuit. I want to see which company would dare to hire an employee who lies to his own boss, conceals important company data, and uses the company to make illegal profits!!”

At this moment, the security guards had already arrived.

Ye Qingran waved her hand and asked for the two of them to be thrown out. Furthermore, they were not allowed to take anything from the company, including their personal belongings.

Xu Zhong gritted his teeth and was extremely unwilling.

He shook off the two security guards. “I’ll leave on my own.”

Then, he looked at Ye Qingran and threatened, “Fine, I’ll leave. I’ll remember what happened today. I also hope that you understand that the stock market can change in an instant. If the company’s stock drops drastically because of you, and the Ye Corporation goes bankrupt, you won’t be able to show off anymore!”

“You’re scaring me. How terrifying.”

Ye Qingran curled her lips coldly, raised her hand, pointed at Xu Zhong, and said, “Then listen well. You’d better pray that you’ve caused little damage to the Ye Corporation. Otherwise, I’ll immediately call the police and sue you, so that you can only stay in prison for the rest of your life!”
