Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Press Conference Incident_1
"Shall we go?"
"Go? After all this waiting, let this new general manager make headlines and let everyone see her true colors."
"What's a little more waiting to us? Jiang Meng stopped at nothing to climb up the ladder, even using her own mother to hook up with Boss Chen of Zhongjiang Industrial. After Boss Chen's downfall, she went on to hook up with President Zhang.
She even made her uncle and cousin kneel and beg her before.
This kind of woman, really, she's gone too far today."
The person speaking these words was none other than Journalist Chen, arranged by Jiang Tian.
The reason why the journalists had been waiting for half an hour without seeing Jiang Meng was also due to Jiang Tian deliberately setting the press conference schedule half an hour earlier.
He just wanted to make it so that Jiang Meng couldn't survive in Linhai!
He wanted to drive Jiang Meng out of Jiang Corporation and also out of Linhai.
Sitting on the stage, Jiang Tian kept apologizing to the journalists, but his heart was blooming with joy.
Jiang Meng, oh Jiang Meng, do you think you can still survive this?
"Dad, this move of yours is brilliant! Jiang Meng is finished!"
Jiang Dong was also overjoyed.
"Creak!"
At this moment, the door opened.
Two people walked in.
It was Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng.
Hearing the discussions of the journalists, a cold smile crept up the corners of Xiao Chen's lips.
This Jiang Tian, he really has no idea what's coming for him, daring to pull such a stunt.
Let's see who will be embarrassed today!
Jiang Meng, of course, reacted differently from Xiao Chen.
She was almost stupefied.
This was her first time encountering such a situation.
And the journalists were all looking at her with unfriendly eyes.
She felt extremely awkward and wished she could just turn around and leave.
However, at this moment, a warm and solid hand landed on her shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you!"
For some reason, hearing these words, Jiang Meng suddenly filled with courage.
She stepped onto the stage.
"You've finally arrived. So, can the press conference begin now?"
Jiang Tian said to Jiang Meng.
Jiang Meng was just about to nod.
But Xiao Chen said, "No rush, it's not time yet. Could it be that President Jiang has forgotten the time?
We said ten o'clock in the morning,
And now it's only nine thirty.
Having our journalist friends wait so long, what are you doing?"
Of course, he knew the tricks Jiang Tian was playing, so he deliberately raised his voice as he said this.
It sparked a discussion among the crowd below.
Jiang Tian was a bit embarrassed; Xiao Chen had not only diverted the journalists' anger onto him,
But the tone he used was like that of a master reprimanding a servant.
"Xiao Chen, who do you think you are? Just a son-in-law, and you dare to criticize the Chairman!"
A senior executive beside him could not stand to watch any longer.
Must be the HR manager.
Xiao Chen looked at him coldly and said, "Indeed, I'm a son-in-law.
But my Mengmeng owns twenty percent of Jiang Corporation, a real major shareholder.
Not only that, but she has now become the general manager of Jiang Corporation.
Today, she will sign a major deal that will determine the fate of Jiang Corporation.
And who are you to sit here?
Get out!"
"I! I am the HR manager of Jiang Corporation, personally appointed by the Chairman; are you telling me to get out?"
The HR manager was infuriated.
"From now on, you're no longer the HR manager of Jiang Corporation.
I'm right, aren't I, acting Chairman?"
Xiao Chen turned to Jiang Tian with a smile and said.
At that moment, Jiang Tian only felt like he'd picked up a rock only to drop it on his own feet.
Today, he wanted to make Jiang Meng embarrassed, but he hadn't expected that with Xiao Chen's move, in the end, he would only have two choices.
One was bankruptcy, the other imprisonment;
One option was to listen to Xiao Chen and lose face.
After weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to choose the second.
Losing face was better than going to jail, after all.
"Manager Bai, go write your resignation letter,"
Jiang Tian said with a darkened expression.
The HR manager was dumbfounded.
He suddenly realized that he had made a stupid mistake today.
"Too overbearing!"
From the crowd, Journalist Chen suddenly stood up, looking every bit the righteous envoy.
He shouted, "Manager Bai, you don't have to leave; he's just an outsider, a good-for-nothing son-in-law.
He has no right to make you leave.
Besides, even if the company has to let someone go, it must be reasonable and lawful.
You can't just tell someone to leave and expect them to go.
You can sue them!"
Manager Bai paused, then became somewhat excited.
These days, it seemed there was no problem that couldn't be solved with the help of journalists.
Jiang Tian didn't speak; he just watched quietly. He was actually curious to see how Xiao Chen would handle the situation.
"You have ten seconds to leave, or you'll definitely regret it,"
Xiao Chen said, looking indifferently at Manager Bai.
"Don't listen to him, he just likes to scare people.
This is a society ruled by law; he can't threaten you, and we are all watching."
Journalist Chen clamored.
Xiao Chen didn't pay him any attention, just kept his eyes on the time on his phone.
Ten seconds passed quickly, and Manager Bai didn't leave.
Perhaps he felt that with so many journalists around, Xiao Chen wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
Even if he couldn't continue working in the future, he was determined to severely extort Jiang Corporation and not let them off cheaply.
Jiang Meng watched Xiao Chen nervously.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Mengmeng, learn from this, you might need it in the future."
Then, he started projecting the data from his phone onto the electronic screen in the reception hall.
All of them were Manager Bai's evidence of guilt.
Some were just minor issues, such as arranging for relatives and acquaintances to join the company, which was still manageable.
But some involved illegal and criminal actions.
The problems were glaringly obvious.
At the very least, it was enough to put Manager Bai behind bars for several years.
"I told you, if you don't leave, you will regret it."
Looking at Manager Bai, who had collapsed on the ground, Xiao Chen said indifferently, "And you, Journalist Chen.
You're right that a company cannot dismiss a senior executive or fire an employee without a cause.
Are these reasons sufficient?"
Journalist Chen was also stunned.
Just what was the background of this son-in-law, so well-prepared?
"Isn't anyone going to drag him out and call the police?"
Jiang Tian was also very angry, as he had been unaware of many things Manager Bai had done.
If he had known, he would have never let this guy off the hook.
Today was really a humiliation.
He, the acting chairman, hadn't been aware of this matter,
But it had been handled by a new general manager instead.
If word got out, the one losing face would definitely be him.
"Alright, the eyesore is gone.
Thank you all, journalists, for waiting; we didn't expect President Jiang's handling of the situation to be this unreliable.
Although it's still early, let's start the reception. We can't delay your precious time any longer."
Xiao Chen said with a smile, after getting rid of Manager Bai and accomplishing a dramatic turnaround.
Jiang Meng looked up to Xiao Chen with admiration. If Xiao Chen hadn't been there today, she didn't know what she would have done.
She felt like a student who had just graduated, knowledgeable yet understanding nothing.
And Xiao Chen knew everything.
She decided she would learn more from Xiao Chen in the future. This mysterious, older husband was truly bewitching.
