156: Chapter 156 Was it excessive for me to abuse my power for personal gain?

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below looked shocked. Their eyes widened, but they kept their faces straight, trying their best to appear serious.

Although this sentence hit home for them, and was phrased so humorously and fiercely, filled with sarcasm and hostility!

But now that Qin Xun was the boss, if he was acting crazy like this, he was probably setting a trap!

Suddenly, they heard a soft chuckle from the corner. They turned their heads, wanting to see which brave soul it was.

They saw Mi Xier covering her mouth, her eyes full of mirth. Seeing the employees of Oak Tree looking over, she put her hand down, revealing her charming face, and said softly.

"Don't you think that was funny?"

The crowd's faces twitched slightly; a few who lacked self-control almost laughed out loud. It wasn't that it wasn't funny. It was that they didn't dare to laugh!

What if Qin Xun caught them, and he settled the score later? Do you think everyone has the capital to be favored by him like you?

After a while, once the crowd had calmed their emotions and were sure they wouldn't burst into laughter again, they dared to turn their heads and look at Qin Xun with serious expressions.

Qin Xun looked at the crowd and smiled.

"However, later on!"

"That boss who spewed filth from his mouth and exploited countless interns for free labor!"

"He got into a car accident and was sent flying, flew so far, it was miserable!"

"A stray dog even dragged away a piece of his intestines."

Many people below silently lowered their heads, their bodies trembling slightly. Some covered their faces, looking as if they were in deep mourning. Don't laugh, don't dare to laugh!

Xia Ning looked at the employees below; she couldn't empathize and found it all rather baffling. This... is it funny?

Seeing that the employees of Oak Company were so cowardly, not daring to speak freely even now, and not even daring to laugh out loud, Qin Xun found it a bit boring.

"I gave those two examples just to tell everyone."

"When a boss is unscrupulous and immoral, he is very likely to meet a bad end."

"And now that I have successfully taken this position."

"I want to be a boss with a conscience!"

Xia Ning: "..." She felt that Qin Xun was referring to her.

Qin Xun pressed the page-turning clicker and flipped the PPT to the second page.

"Everyone, please look at the big screen!"

"These are some work rules and regulations that I have carefully considered and reformulated."

"Please strictly abide by them!"

Everyone looked at the projector screen and saw it written:

[Revision of Oak Company Rules and Regulations]

Xia Ning turned to look. She wanted to see what exactly Qin Xun had written in the five minutes he spent rushing the draft.

Qin Xun pressed the page-turning clicker.

[First, work starts at 9:00.]

[Lateness caused by unexpected situations such as wind, rain, traffic jams, or eating breakfast.]

[It will not be considered late if you arrive before 9:30.]

Suddenly, there was a gasp from below.

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

"Wow!"

Everyone looked at Qin Xun, not knowing what he was up to.

Qin Xun looked at everyone's surprised expressions and smiled.

"I said this is a seminar, everyone can voice their opinions."

The crowd looked at each other, none daring to speak. Finally, under the instruction of Xia Ning's glance, Cheng Wan raised an objection.

"President Qin, the company already provides 3 opportunities to clock in late per month, which should be enough to cover these unexpected situations, so..." She stopped there, having made her point clear.

Qin Xun waved his hand.

"Sister Wan, the weather in Haicheng is like irregular menstruation; it changes at the drop of a hat. How can 3 times a month be enough?"

"I arrive just on time every day, and I'm on pins and needles every day!"

"I'm so scared!"

Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun, her expression looking a bit unpleasant. You arrive just on time every day because you sleep in, okay? It has nothing to do with the weather!

When Cheng Wan heard Qin Xun call her "Sister Wan" in public, she knew that although he had become the top leader, he still respected her enough, and she felt much more comfortable. Her speaking became bolder.

"President Qin, but I think counting eating breakfast as not being late might make the company atmosphere too lax, right?"

Qin Xun saw everyone nodding, seemingly agreeing with Cheng Wan's words. He smiled.

"The company's atmosphere?"

"Eating breakfast won't make it lax; on the contrary, it helps adjust the mood."

"Who says that going to work must feel as heavy and painful as visiting a grave?"

"Every day is spent in mental exhaustion, looking busy all day, but actually getting nothing done."

After speaking, he noticed many people below nodding. He knew that his colleagues were starting to slowly let their guard down.

Qin Xun thought for a moment and decided to crack a joke to draw out their desire to talk, encouraging them to speak up and facilitate the meeting.

He pointed at Xia Ning.

"As everyone knows, Xia Ning is my assistant."

"In our private lives, our relationship is also... not ordinary."

He paused for a moment. Sure enough, he saw the gossip-loving hearts of the colleagues below being hooked, their eyes becoming bright and alert. Full of anticipation!

Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun expressionlessly, her hands clenched unconsciously, her breathing slightly chaotic. This guy... he wouldn't say anything inappropriate during the meeting, right?

Qin Xun smiled and continued.

"I owe her several thousand yuan; she is my creditor."

Xia Ning: "..." She let out a sigh of relief, but immediately felt a bit angry.

The colleagues below showed disappointed expressions. They had their little stools and melon seeds ready, and this is what they got to hear?

Qin Xun turned to look at Xia Ning, his gaze gentle, and continued.

"But she has hypoglycemia, and she isn't well-behaved about eating breakfast every morning."

"Once she gets to the office and starts working, she can't eat breakfast, and in the long run, her health will definitely suffer."

Xia Ning: "???" Who isn't well-behaved... about eating breakfast?!

Qin Xun turned his head to look at the crowd and said something these gossip lovers loved to hear.

"So, when I formulated the company rules, I mixed in a little bit of selfishness."

"I wanted to apply for some time to eat breakfast for my little assistant, who is more than friends but less than lovers."

"Am I being excessive by abusing my power?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's mouths opened into circles, and they almost exclaimed out loud. More than friends, less than lovers? This... this... is he being so high-profile? Saying this at a meeting to reform company rules? Is this supposed to be some grand, reckless romantic stunt?

Xia Ning noticed the gazes of the crowd falling on her face, pursed her lips lightly, and tried to control her emotions. Is this what he meant by "Watch my performance"?

Qin Xun saw that everyone's emotions had been stirred up and asked loudly again.

"Is this excessive?"

Voices gradually emerged from below.

"Not excessive!"

"Not excessive!"

"It's only right!"

"Regular breakfast is good for the body!"

"Xia Ning has hypoglycemia, so she needs to take care of her health even more; otherwise, how will she have the energy to be President Qin's little assistant?"

"President Qin can't fall!"

The atmosphere began to liven up. The air was filled with the smell of flattery.

Qin Xun immediately pressed the page-turning clicker and flipped to the second page.

[Second, overtime is absolutely not allowed; violators will be fined 1000!]

Seeing this, everyone was shocked, and then discussions broke out.

"Holy crap! Fined for not working overtime?"

"You misread it! It's that you get fined for working overtime! 1000 each time!"

"My god?"

"I don't quite understand, what is the logic here?"

"This... this... this... what does this mean?"
