41: The value of a personal driver is getting higher and higher!
Bing Lan nodded slightly, her beautiful face covered with a layer of frost.
“Zhao Ming, you abused your authority to coerce subordinates, frame colleagues, and possess vile character.”
“Yang Tao, you disregarded facts for personal gain and aided evil.”
“From now on, you are both fired.”
“The Group's Legal Department will follow up on this malicious defamation and damage to the Group's reputation, reserving the right to pursue legal responsibility.”
Zhao Ming trembled, all color draining from his face.
“No! President Bing! You can't fire me!”
“I have rendered meritorious service to the Group! The Design Department cannot do without me!”
“I've worked diligently for two years, leading the team to win so many projects! Is that still not comparable to an unknown, unprofessional driver?!”
He pointed at Ye Chen, his eyes filled with unwillingness and resentment.
Bing Lan was unmoved.
“A country has its laws, and a family has its rules.”
“Shuyue Group also has its own bottom line.”
“What you violated is my bottom line.”
She paused slightly, each word clearly reaching everyone's ears.
“Even if the Group goes bankrupt tomorrow because of this...”
“I, Bing Lan, will still fire you today.”
As her voice fell, the entire room became eerily silent.
Everyone was stunned by her words.
Zhao Ming's mind went blank.
It's over.
His career at Shuyue Group, everything he had painstakingly built, his secret hopes for Bing Lan... it was all over.
All because of a moment of foolish jealousy, leading to the failure of all his efforts!
His legs went soft, as if his spine had been removed, and he collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, Li Qin snorted and said, “Security, supervise them as they pack their personal belongings and leave the Group building.”
Several security guards immediately stepped forward.
Zhao Ming's face was ashen.
Yang Tao covered her face and sobbed.
This time, she truly regretted it... Bing Lan no longer looked at them, but turned to Ye Chen: “You must have been startled.”
Ye Chen shook his head and smiled.
“It's nothing, I just almost became a ‘hooligan consultant’.”
Li Qin leaned over, patting her chest with lingering fear: “You scared me to death, with your posture just now, I thought you were really going to...”
“Thought I was really going to commit a crime?”
Ye Chen glanced at her, “In your eyes, am I that lacking in self-control?”
Li Qin's pretty face flushed, and she snorted: “Who knows about you? Maybe... you're into that sort of thing?”
Ye Chen: “...”
Bing Lan interrupted their bickering: “Alright, the farce is over, everyone go back to work.”
Everyone dispersed.
However, many people looked at Ye Chen with a completely different gaze than before, with a hint of awe... The three took the elevator directly to the CEO's office on the top floor.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the city view was unobstructed.
Bing Lan sat down behind her desk, rubbing her temples.
“Ye Chen, it's only your first official day on the job, and you've already helped me clear out a Design Director and an assistant.”
“Your efficiency is astonishing.”
Ye Chen walked over to the water dispenser, poured himself a cup of water, and drank it in one gulp.
“Miss Bing, you might as well just say I'm a troublemaker, and wherever I go, bad luck follows.”
“Pfft—”
Li Qin, who was flipping through small ornaments on Bing Lan's desk, couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
Indeed... Ye Chen really was like a troublemaker!
Bing Lan didn't laugh; she raised her eyes, her expression serious.
“I'm not joking.”
“Wang Mei, Qin Shou, and now Zhao Ming and Yang Tao...”
“TheseWoodworms (moth-eaten insects) have been lurking in the Group, I don't know how much profit they've stolen and how many hidden dangers they've caused.”
“You've only been here a few days, and you've exposed them one by one.”
She leaned slightly, her gaze falling on Ye Chen, “Both officially and personally, I should thank you properly.”
Ye Chen put down his water cup and glanced at the sky outside the window.
“Really want to thank me?”
“Then treat me to a meal. I've been busy all morning and I'm hungry.”
Bing Lan didn't hesitate, picking up the internal phone and directly dialing the secretary's line.
“Help me cancel all engagements and arrangements for this afternoon.”
“Also, reserve a quiet spot at the Cloud Top Pavilion for three people.”
After giving the instructions.
She put down the phone and looked at Ye Chen and Li Qin, “Shall we go now?”
Li Qin immediately cheered: “Great! I've wanted to go to Cloud Top Pavilion for ages, I heard the view there is amazing!”
For ordinary people, a single meal at this top Xiamen City restaurant would cost a year's salary!
But what surprised Ye Chen was that for this one meal, Bing Lan actually canceled all her affairs.
This woman truly acted decisively and with full sincerity.
Ye Chen smiled: “Alright, the guest follows the host's lead.”
Bing Lan stood up and took her coat from the hanger.
“Then let's go, my car...”
Before she finished speaking, she paused herself, looking at Ye Chen meaningfully, “Oh, I almost forgot, the driver is right here.”
Ye Chen cooperatively made a “please” gesture.
“Happy to serve, boss.”
Li Qin watched their tacit interaction, her big eyes darting around, then she giggled and leaned closer to Ye Chen.
“Younger Male Cousin, it seems the value of your ‘personal driver’ is getting higher and higher~”
“Not only can you drive, treat illnesses, appraise treasures, fight, but you can also help the boss clean house...”
“Now, you even include accompanying her to dinner!”
Ye Chen glanced at her, and retorted irritably: “Can't eating shut your mouth?”
“Nyah nyah nyah!”
Li Qin made a face at him and was the first to run out of the office.
However.
Just as the three of them went downstairs and entered the Group lobby, they saw a figure stumble in from outside the revolving door.
So much so that.
The security guards didn't even have time to stop her... It was a woman in a dark green qipao.
She had a plump figure and still retained her charm, but her face was covered in tears and full of panic... Ye Chen immediately frowned.
He discovered that this woman... was poisoned.
As soon as the woman saw them, she ran over as if grasping a life-saving straw, tears flowing before she could speak.
“Lan Lan! Lan Lan!”
“You must help me! This time, only you can save me, Lan Lan!”
Saying that, she grabbed Bing Lan's arm, sobbing uncontrollably.
Ye Chen immediately understood.
This woman was Hao Shuang.
Bing Lan gently pulled her arm back, her expression cold: “Miss Hao, you've asked the wrong person!”
“No! I haven't asked the wrong person!”
Hao Shuang frantically shook her head.
“That Expert is your person, you must have a way to persuade him!”
“Please save me!”
“The doctors don't dare to treat it easily, saying that even if it temporarily gets better, some root causes will recur...”
“I... I'm really going crazy!”
Li Qin pouted in disgust: “If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? When you were getting involved with Lin Jianren, why didn't you think about the consequences?”
Ye Chen looked at Hao Shuang, his face expressionless.
“I made it very clear on the phone this morning.”
“My condition is only one.”
“The evidence of Lin Jianren's crimes, did you... bring it?”
Hao Shuang suddenly looked up, her tear-filled eyes fixed on Ye Chen.
At this moment, she realized... this young man in front of her was the Master from the phone call!
“You... you are that Expert?”
She hurriedly pulled out a USB drive from her bag and offered it with both hands.
“I brought it! I brought everything!”
“Everything you wanted, all the evidence I could get, it's all... all in here!”
Li Qin stepped forward and took the USB drive.
Then.
She called out to the security personnel not far away and briefly instructed: “Arrange a small meeting room and prepare a laptop that is not connected to the internet!”
“Yes!”
A few minutes later, the four sat down in a small meeting room.
The laptop started, and the USB drive was inserted.
As Li Qin operated it, segments of unspeakable videos and various account documents appeared on the screen.
The video content mostly showed Lin Jianren using members of his collected “song and dance troupe” to conduct sexual bribery in private settings, wooing and controlling certain officials and corporate executives.
The illicit transfer of benefits and sex-for-power transactions involved were shocking.
“Bastard!”
Li Qin slammed the table in anger, looking at a familiar face on the screen.
“Last time, in the bidding for that plot of land in the new district, we clearly had a greater advantage, but somehow we lost to Yuezi Group!”
“So it was this old pervert pulling strings inside, having accepted a big gift from Lin Jianren!”
Bing Lan didn't say anything.
She quietly watched the last few videos, then picked up her phone and dialed the Secretary-General.
“Bring the confidentiality agreement and equipment, and come to Small Meeting Room B on the third floor immediately.”
“Here is important evidence of illegal activities concerning Lin Jianren of Yuezi Group. You personally take charge of it and transfer it to the Legal Department.”
“Tell them to immediately assess it, prepare litigation materials according to the highest specifications, and report it to the relevant departments as appropriate.”
“But remember to make a backup.”
“Understood, President Bing, I'll be right there!” the Secretary-General replied.
Li Qin also started making calls, coordinating relevant personnel from the Legal Department to stand by.
Hao Shuang watched Shuyue Group's efficient actions, her heart growing increasingly fearful.
She looked at Ye Chen, unable to help but plead again: “G-Expert, I've already handed over the evidence, can you... can you cure my illness now?”
