Chapter 14: Everyone was shocked. Could Zheng Jie really summon someone like this?

The next morning, at the entrance to the Zheng Jie's office at the Zheng Group, more than twenty people in suits and leather shoes gathered together.

"Hmm? Why are there still a few people who haven't arrived?"

The leader was Wang Anmin, the CFO of the Zheng Group, who was mainly in charge of financial matters. Everyone who had worked in the company knew that finance was the most important position in any firm. He was also one of Father Zheng's men. Since Father Zheng did not hold any position at the Zheng Group, he had entrusted Wang Anmin to contact the senior executives of the Zheng Group, preparing for them to resign together to Zheng Jie today.

Wang Anmin looked around and noticed that seven or eight senior executives seemed to be missing. Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

"Those seven or eight people said they aren't coming."

Everyone was clear that if the other party didn't come, it meant they chose to support Zheng Jie.

"Hmph, short-sighted. They think supporting Zheng Jie will lead to a good outcome? Without us senior executives, can Zheng Jie alone stabilize the situation? When the group collapses from within, I'd like to see if those other directors will still support Zheng Jie. Dream on. When the old Chairman returns, they will also be kicked out of the group."

Wang Anmin's tone was full of disdain. Hearing this, the others nodded. In reality, these people also felt that Zheng Jie would definitely not be a match for Father Zheng. After all, Zheng Jie had only been the president for three years and had no foundation at all. If they all caused trouble at this time, it was feared that the other directors would not sit idly by. They would surely pressure Zheng Jie and force Zheng Jie to quit the company.

"Exactly, we'll see what those people do then."

"Moreover, the old Chairman already said yesterday that today, after we resign, the Su Group will terminate the contract. As for the reason, it will be the instability of the Zheng Group, leaving Zheng Jie with no way to recover the breach of contract penalty."

When these people spoke, their tones were full of excitement.

It was obvious that these people felt they had already won.

Just at this moment, Zheng Jie had already entered the Zheng Group, with Zhang Wei following right behind Zheng Jie.

"I just received news that these group executives have already appeared at the door of your office. They are likely waiting for you to come and submit their resignation letters."

Zhang Wei told Zheng Jie the news he had received. Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.

"They're pretty fast, and there are quite a few of them."

"Have the people to replace them been found?"

Actually, if Wang Anmin were to analyze it carefully now, he would discover that the senior executives who didn't come were basically those in charge of the group's sales channels, technical research and development, and company operations. These were people who could not be replaced in a short time; if replaced, it would take at least a long time to familiarize themselves with the company's business.

Although the people who came had higher titles than those who didn't, they were only responsible for the general direction. As for those people, as long as successors were arranged in advance, the impact would actually not be that significant.

Therefore, for them to want to threaten Zheng Jie with resignation could only be called too naive. And those who didn't come were originally Zheng Jie's direct subordinates from the past three years. On the surface, they appeared to support Father Zheng, but in reality, they had long supported Zheng Jie.

As for why he didn't recruit more people, in Zheng Jie's view, as long as the core positions were controlled, the rest... didn't matter.

"When will the team we organized to replace them arrive?"

"In half an hour."

"Alright, let's go."

Zheng Jie heard this, nodded, and didn't say anything more, leading Zhang Wei toward the Chairman's office.

Not long after, when these people saw Zheng Jie arrive at the door of the Chairman's office, they quickly straightened their bodies.

"So many people came?"

Zheng Jie looked at the crowd and said with a smile.

"Zheng Jie, we came to find you today because we have something to say."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.

"Let's go, come into the office."

Zheng Jie pushed open the office door, and the people behind filed in. Sitting on the chair representing the Chairman, Zheng Jie scanned these people with a calm gaze.

"Speak, what is the matter?"

"This is our resignation letter; we want to resign."

Wang Anmin was the first to take out his resignation letter and place it on the table. Immediately after, the others followed suit and also took out their resignation letters.

"Resign? Do you feel the company's salary is not enough?"

"No, it's just that we don't want to work under you."

Wang Anmin wanted to see nervousness and fear revealed in Zheng Jie's eyes, but he had overthought it. Listening to that sentence from the other party, Zheng Jie's eyes were filled with calmness.

"He can really put on an act."

"Still acting so calm right now."

"Heh."

Wang Anmin thought to himself.

"Is that so? Fine, I approve your resignation letters. You can go back and pack up to leave."

Zheng Jie's tone was calm, and he said with a smile. Although they would definitely leave that day, these people were still a bit surprised because Zheng Jie agreed really too quickly, as if without any hesitation.

Therefore, agreeing so readily instead made these people not know what they should do.

"What's wrong, are there any other problems?"

"By the way, half an hour later, your successors will arrive at your departments to conduct the handover."

Hearing this, these people were slightly stunned.

Successors would come in half an hour?

That's not right.

It shouldn't be that fast.

Suddenly, Wang Anmin realized.

Could it be that Zheng Jie knew in advance that they would resign?

That's why he was so calm?

"Successors? Fine, I'll see what kind of successors you can contact."

"Let's go."

Wang Anmin was full of disdain in his heart. The Zheng Group had a market value of over one trillion. Such a massive company had extremely complex financial problems. It could be said that those who could handle the financial problems of such a large company were true elites, and there were only a few such people in the country. Moreover, such figures were likely already in major companies. Therefore, Wang Anmin did not believe it was possible to find such a person within a day.

Watching the backs of the people leaving, Zheng Jie snorted.

"A bunch of morons."

Zheng Jie's tone was full of disdain.

"Chairman, those people just now were all prepared for you to beg them not to leave."

"That's why, we can't let them get their wish."

Hearing this, Zhang Wei smiled.

Threats?

Sorry, they really weren't afraid of being threatened.

After all, if they didn't want to work, there were people who were willing to, and these people who were willing to work were even better than them.

On the other side, after Wang Anmin and the others went out, they looked at each other.

"Zheng Jie must have known the news yesterday. If nothing goes wrong, it must have been those turncoats who told him."

Wang Anmin's tone was full of anger.

"Definitely."

"But in one night, even if he found successors, their abilities must be average. I'll just see what these people can make of the company."

These people's tones were full of confidence, feeling that their positions in the company were crucial and could definitely not be replaced. It could only be said that these people's thoughts were a bit naive.

In Father Zheng's plan, after these people completed their resignation, Su Qiaoer would come to the Zheng Group to announce the cancellation of the cooperation. This was truly a combination punch.

Half an hour later, a few people arrived at the entrance of the Zheng Group. The person leading them wore a black suit and had a smiling face, looking like someone easy to get close to. This person was Zhao Heng, the CFO arranged by Zheng Jie.

Actually, Wang Anmin's thoughts were very correct; a company with a market value exceeding one trillion had very complex financial problems, and indeed, not many people could handle them. But Zhao Heng could, and in the financial circle, the other party was renowned.

These people were arranged from the outside, while the others who resigned would be succeeded by Zheng Jie's direct subordinates within the Zheng Group.

"President Zhang, why trouble yourself to wait for us here."

Zhao Heng looked at Zhang Wei waiting for him, his tone full of teasing. Because they were all their own people, the relationship was very close.

"If the Chairman didn't have things to handle right now, he probably would have come down."

"Alright, let's go, I'll take you to the boss."

The group walked toward the Chairman's office. This team had been personally selected by Zheng Jie; they were capable and loyal to him. Therefore, these people resigning voluntarily was also a good thing for him. After all, if he had to clean them out himself, he would probably have to wait a long time to finish. Unexpectedly, Father Zheng had solved a big problem for him at this time. It could only be said, regarding this father-son dynamic.

Moreover, if he cleaned these people out, because they would be fired, he would also need to pay compensation. These people were all senior executives of the group, and the compensation combined would probably be several hundred million. But because they resigned voluntarily, Zheng Jie saved several hundred million in compensation. Although Zheng Jie did not lack these few hundred million, being able to save some was also a good thing. After all, who would dislike having more money?

Zheng Jie met these people in the office.

"Under normal circumstances, during the handover, they should intentionally conceal some things, so you must be alert at this time."

Hearing this, the crowd smiled.

"Boss, we have been following you all along. Don't you know our strength and vision?"

At this time, Zheng Jie also smiled.

"That is also true."

"There are also our people in the departments. After you go, these people can be absolutely trusted. With the help of these people, your takeover of the work should also be much easier."

Hearing this, the crowd nodded.

"We will definitely not let the boss down."

Zhao Heng said so.

"Fine, since that's the case, go ahead first."

After finishing what he had to say, Zheng Jie arranged for these people to go to their respective departments. According to Zheng Jie's understanding of these people, under normal circumstances, within three days, these people would be able to familiarize themselves with the work. After all, there were his own people in every department; with the cooperation of these people, a lot of trouble could be reduced.

Not long after, in Wang Anmin's office, he was waiting for his successor. He wanted to see who Zheng Jie would arrange to take his position. Just at this moment, the door was pushed open.

"General Manager Wang, your successor has arrived."

Hearing this voice, Wang Anmin subconsciously raised his head.

When Zhao Heng walked in, Wang Anmin was slightly stunned.

Zhao Heng?

How could it be him?

How could this Zheng Jie bring such a figure over?

This...

At this moment, Wang Anmin's mind was filled with disbelief.

And at this time, Zhao Heng looked at Wang Anmin. Although his face still had that smiling appearance, he was disdainful in his heart.

This fool actually still supports Zheng Tian and those people?

Really... not taking his own future seriously.
