42: Meet with your boss alone

"Where are you all planning to go?"

Lan Zijun, dressed in a pure white suit, took off her sunglasses and slightly raised her eyebrows, looking at the dozen or so employees holding cardboard boxes in front of her.

Are they trying to rebel? I haven't been to the company for just a few days, and they all want to escape?

Lan Zijun, who had been busy to the point of dizziness these past few days, had completely forgotten the foolish things Qian Boda had done.

She mistook these employees who had been dismissed by Qian Boda for employees trying to escape.

"President Lan!"

Lan Zijun, originally 177 cm tall, already had a terrifying presence.

Now, with the help of high heels, Lan Zijun, whose height was close to 185 cm, was even looking down at the employees.

This situation doubled the pressure on the female employee at the front, who was already very afraid of Lan Zijun.

The cardboard box she was holding almost slipped from her hands, but luckily Lan Zijun noticed and quickly reached out to help steady it.

"What's going on with you all?"

Lan Zijun's slightly displeased tone sounded in the ears of the lead female employee.

The latter quickly opened her mouth to explain, but unfortunately, she was too nervous and stammered a little.

"I, this..."

And the employees at the back also started whispering among themselves.

"It's President Lan!"

"Hasn't President Lan not been to the company for a week? Could it be that she just got married?"

"Ah, it has nothing to do with us anymore, we've all been dismissed by Qian Boda."

"Thinking that the company I've always worked for is going to fall into the hands of that guy Qian Boda, I can't help but feel heartbroken..."

Lan Zijun heard the employees' quiet conversations the entire time.

"Qian Boda, dismissed?"

She muttered softly, and Lan Zijun, with furrowed brows, suddenly remembered the farce from a week ago.

Damn it, these past few days I've been so busy acquiring shares that I almost forgot about this matter.

...

At the back of the employees

"Su Ge, Su Ge, look, it's President Lan!"

Li Haoyang, who had seen Lan Zijun over the heads of many people, leaned into Su Yue's ear and whispered, reporting.

"Yes, I saw her too."

Su Yue tilted his head slightly to avoid the hot breath coming from Li Haoyang's mouth, his brows furrowed slightly, revealing a somewhat disgusted expression.

Why does it feel like after Li Haoyang was cheated on, his sexual orientation seems a bit off?

"Su Ge, Su Ge."

Li Haoyang didn't notice the disgusted expression of Su Ge, whom he deeply loved, his eyes shining as he looked at Lan Zijun in the distance.

"Why do you think President Lan stopped us?"

"Maybe she wants to withdraw the action taken against us?"

Su Yue said casually, while Li Haoyang became extremely excited after hearing it.

"Really?"

"Uh..."

Su Yue looked at the excited Li Haoyang and thought to himself, this kid is really naive, no wonder he encountered such a thing...

Just as Su Yue was about to warn Li Haoyang not to get his hopes up too high.

Lan Zijun, who was in front, shouted to everyone.

"Everyone, I am truly sorry. Due to someone's actions a while ago, you all had to go through this."

"Hmm?"

Su Yue raised his head upon hearing the sound and looked directly over the crowd, seeing the apologetic expression on Lan Zijun's face.

This kind of behavior... did she really do it?

"Hmm? What does President Lan mean by this?"

"I don't know."

The dismissed employees were all a bit dumbfounded by Lan Zijun's apology.

Lan Zijun took two steps back, bowed slightly, and continued speaking to everyone.

"Here, I first want to apologize to everyone. You are all among the company's earliest employees, who have accompanied the company's growth."

"I hope everyone can forgive the company's previous mistakes and continue to stay and work at the company."

"Of course, the subsidies previously issued will not be withdrawn and will be considered entirely as the company's apology."

"If anyone doesn't want to stay at the company, I won't force it. I will have the finance department add another month's salary..."

Lan Zijun had said all this, how could anyone not understand what Lan Zijun meant?

They won't be dismissed!

And the best part is, they also got three months' salary for free.

"Long live President Lan! L('ω')┘ three└('ω')｣"

"Thank you, President Lan!"

"This is great! I don't have to look for a new job!"

Everyone happily raised the cardboard boxes in their hands high, and each one was thanking Lan Zijun.

Among them, Li Haoyang was like a joyous Shiba Inu, constantly bumping into Su Yue's shoulder next to him.

"This is great, Su Ge, we don't have to leave!"

"Mhm mhm!"

Su Yue nodded perfunctorily, so as not to stand out from the crowd.

At this moment, Su Yue was also raising the cardboard box in his hand with a fake smile on his face.

At first glance, there was nothing out of place.

"Hoo..."

Lan Zijun looked at the celebrating crowd in front of her and slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this wave resulted in some salary losses, it retained these excellent veteran employees, which would be very helpful for her subsequent plan to acquire the Qian family.

After the employees celebrated for a minute, Lan Zijun spoke up to control the situation.

"Alright, everyone, please return to your workstations and continue working!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the backs of the employees who dispersed in a hurry, Lan Zijun slightly narrowed her eyes.

"Another thing is done, next is to pay that person!"

Thinking of that mysterious existence, Lan Zijun couldn't help but wrap her arms around herself, as if doing so could give her a little more sense of security.

"Yuan..."

...

"Ah~~~~ngh!"

Looking at the dense market report data in front of him, Su Yue, who had been busy all day, stretched his back.

"Another day of corporate slave life is over. As expected of me, I survived another day."

Looking at the corporate slave colleagues around him who were also stretching, Su Yue couldn't help but sigh, corporate slaves are truly miserable creatures.

Gathering the various folders on his desk, Su Yue, who had just shut down his computer, caught a glimpse of Li Haoyang approaching with a smirk from the corner of his eye.

"Su Ge, Su Ge."

"Got some gossip?"

"How did you know?!"

Su Yue's preemptive answer made Li Haoyang's eyes widen instantly, wearing an expression like "You can read minds."

Su Yue sighed and continued tidying his desk as he spoke.

"You had the same expression last time when you told me about the sunset romance between Old Man Wang, the security guard at the entrance, and Aunt Zhang, the cleaner."

"Ah... so that's how it is."

Li Haoyang touched his face, seemingly not finding anything wrong with his expression.

But immediately, Li Haoyang, who had reacted, shook his head.

"No, no, this gossip, no, this news is completely different, Su Ge!"

"Hmm? What's different?"

Seeing that Su Yue still looked indifferent, Li Haoyang said with a serious expression.

"This time it's news about Qian Boda."

"I already know about Qian Boda going to prison. I saw it when I was browsing the local news this afternoon."

"Su Ge, when did you start reading the news? Didn't you always claim you never read the news?"

In response to Li Haoyang's confusion, Su Yue's expression stiffened slightly, then immediately returned to normal.

"I happened to see it while slacking off."

"I see."

Li Haoyang didn't have the slightest doubt.

"Then I have a piece of news here that you definitely don't know."

"What?"

Seeing Su Yue tilt his head to look at him, Li Haoyang chuckled.

"I heard from the Secretary's office, apparently starting the day after tomorrow."

"President Lan, for the company's future strategic plan, is preparing to have one-on-one talks with everyone in the company!"
