After listening to him, Jiang Yu sat on the office chair and nodded. “Got it.”
The assistant looked at Jiang Yu. “CEO Jiang, aren’t the demotions and dismissals today a little too hasty?”
He had noticed the gazes of those people as they walked over.
Jiang Yu was unconcerned. “I don’t think it’s hasty. It’s quite good, rather. Don’t you think it’s quite humorous?”
The assistant:
Even there had to be a time and place for humor—after all, those who had been fired or demoted certainly could not find it humorous.
The assistant could not help but say, “CEO Jiang,you arranged for this due to all the badmouthing against Miss Lu at the company yesterday, isn’t it? If Miss Lu comes to this company in the future, won’t she be targeted?”
Jiang Yu looked up at him. “Will they dare?”
A sense of intimidation instantly assaulted him. “No, no, they wouldn’t dare.”
With retaliation so harsh, who would dare to say anything bad about Lu Ning?
“But CEO Jiang, why demote Manager Zhang? He’s a senior employee at our company, after all. Isn’t this a little too heartless?”
Jiang Yu snorted. “If I’m really being heartless, he would’ve been fired. I wouldn’t have allowed him to stay in the company.”
Jiang Yu put down the things in his hand and looked at his assistant. “If you have any other questions, ask them all at once. I won’t be able to work if you disturb me like this.’
The assistant immediately cowered. “No, no more questions, CEO Jiang.”
Jiang Yu looked at him and shook his head. He took a deep breath. “You think I’m being too harsh, right? But our company doesn’t raise idlers. Haven’t you noticed how fat Old Zhang has become in these past few years? Do you I-mow what he was like in the past? He was similar to you, fitter even.
“In the past few years, his capabilities have decreased too quickly; he thought that he could rest easy after reaching his position, that he simply needed to clock in to the company every day and waltz around. However, he had to demonstrate that he’s worthy of his salary. I’m already giving him a lot of face with the way I’m dealing with him now.
“He simply didn’t have any sense of pressure or tension. Now that he’s demoted and has to follow the arrangements of someone more junior than him, vve’ll see if he feels the need to up his game. He would probably be able to climb back up within a couple of months, you don’t have to worry about him. He had just lived the good life for too long and made himself useless.
“You must remember, everyone here has to earn their position. I don’t want anybody who takes advantage of their position, taking handouts and leisurely waiting for death. Understand?”
The assistant immediately nodded. “Understood, CEO Jiang!’
A sense of urgency immediately pressed down on him.
The assistant blurted out, “CEO Jiang, you’re so scheming. Aren’t you just using Miss Lu to settle the company’s affairs?”
Jiang Yu sighed. “This matter just happened to come up. Speaking of which, I owe that girl my gratitude.”
“CEO Jiang, you truly wished to help Miss Lu clear her name and protect her, do you?”
The assistant asked again uncertainly.
Jiang Yu glared at him. “No matter how nasty I am, I won’t harm the child! All these years you’ve followed me have been for nothing.”
The assistant shrunk back. He knew that Jiang Yu was a person who deeply valued relationships and righteousness; he must be sincerely protective of Lu Ning.
Jiang Yu sighed and looked at the clear sky outside the glass. “She’s Old Lu l s child. How can I not dote on her and want to protect her? Although that child used to live in a family where she didn’t have to worry about food and drink, you also found out, didn’t you? That her family never fulfilled their duty as parents. It’s been hard on her. Growing up in an environment without love requires a strong will. Fortunately, she survived. In a way, it can be considered a kind of training; at least she broadened her horizons while she was there..”
