The people within the company finally reacted.
So it turned out Yuchen had colluded with another company. No wonder he dared to make such an outrageous demand of Chen Jie.
Following that, everyone let out a collective sneer.
Now this was good, trying to snatch a chicken only to end up losing the rice.
Weren't you powerful? Didn't you even disregard the big boss?
Didn't you almost get everyone fired? Now, let's see how you'll get out of this.
"Mr. Chen, I'm willing to stay with the company and I don't need a raise."
Yuchen put on a smile that was more like a grimace and said to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie said indifferently, "You're thinking too much. I wouldn't keep a parasite like you even if you paid me."
Ah!
Yuchen was struck by lightning.
His face was filled with despair.
This company was merely a small pharmaceutical plant. His leadership experience from his previous company was useless. Even if he sought opportunities elsewhere, he was destined for mediocre positions.
He regretted his actions immensely.
However, to maintain his image, he declared indignantly, "It's just a broken company, isn't it? I was just saying that. Even if you keep me, I'll still make you regret it! You're lucky you didn't fall for my trick. If one place doesn't want me, another will! Just you wait until I join one of your competitors!"
"Stop right there!"
Chen Jie said with a cold smile, "Do you think my company is a place you can just come and go as you please?"
"What do you want?" Yuchen asked warily.
"I suspect you are involved in embezzlement and intentional damage to company property. I will now launch an investigation. Until the investigation concludes, you will remain with the company!" Chen Jie stated.
"Report to Mr. Chen, I know where the evidence is of Yuchen abusing his power to withhold funds from subsidiary companies!"
Someone suddenly stood up and said.
Chen Jie nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, He Yufei, you arrange for people to collect the evidence. Once found, give him a monthly salary increase of two thousand yuan on top of his original compensation."
The person who stood up was overjoyed.
He initially just wanted to show his loyalty to Chen Jie, but he received an unexpected bonus.
A monthly increase of two thousand yuan might not seem like much, but over time it would be substantial!
That would be twenty-four thousand a year, and over two hundred thousand in ten years.
For someone in a leadership position, their salary had basically reached its peak. Every additional yuan above that was hard-won. This increase of two thousand was truly not a small amount.
More importantly, Chen Jie meant the base salary would increase, and this would continue even after retirement!
What's more, Chen Jie had proven his position through his actions. Would the company's future development be lacking?
Hearing this, everyone's mood instantly lifted. Another person stepped forward and said, "Report to Mr. Chen, I can testify that Manager Yu colluded with other companies to harm the company's interests. I know his channels for illicit gains."
Chen Jie nodded, "If you find the evidence, your salary will increase by two thousand!"
"Report to Mr. Chen, I know there are female employees in the company who are having an affair with Manager Yu..."
"Report to Mr. Chen, Manager Yu violated the non-compete agreement. During his employment, he went to other companies to use our company's data to earn extra income."
"Report to Mr. Chen..."
When a wall collapses, everyone pushes.
Yuchen's position was originally a lucrative one, and everyone had long been unhappy with him. Now, with the promise of rewards, who wouldn't want to give him a push?
Yuchen plopped onto the ground.
He knew he was finished.
Forget whether he could find a job after today, the things he had done would likely keep him locked up for ten to eight years.
"Mr. Chen, we were all misled by that bastard Yuchen! We initially wanted to help him out of old acquaintance, but we never expected him to conspire with outsiders against his own employer!"
"Isn't this like biting the hand that feeds you? We all regret it! Please let us stay with the company!"
Those who had previously declared they would resign with Yuchen and threatened Chen Jie now all expressed their regret.
Chen Jie, however, said with a cold laugh, "I'm sorry, the company does not need employees like you."
"Mr. Chen, I have something to report, these people..."
Seeing this, the people present were about to seize the opportunity to pledge their loyalty and present evidence of their own wrongdoings that harmed the company.
These people's faces turned ashen.
In the current workplace environment, every position had its shady dealings.
Wouldn't any position with a certain amount of power involve kickbacks?
If it were to be pursued strictly, it would be embezzlement and harm to company interests.
"Boss!" He Yufei said anxiously.
She thought that if Chen Jie only pursued responsibility for one person, it would be one thing. But if he were to pursue everyone, although it would be revenge, it would certainly make everyone in the company feel insecure, which would not be conducive to workplace harmony.
But Chen Jie waved his hand and said, "No need to say more."
Chen Jie said to the visibly anxious employees, "I will overlook the little tricks you've been playing! If you genuinely want to join, you will need to reapply, and your seniority will be recalculated! For now, please leave the room."
He Yufei was stunned.
She looked at Chen Jie in surprise.
Then, she couldn't help but give a wry smile. It seemed she had overthought things. Chen Jie was not completely oblivious.
The others at the conference table also breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if one had not made any mistakes, who could guarantee they wouldn't make any in the future?
If any minor mistake were to be blown out of proportion, they would have to consider whether to stay.
Chen Jie said calmly to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, clear water has no fish. Some minor mistakes made by certain individuals are tolerable. However, if you are like Yuchen, seeking personal gain by harming the company's interests, then prepare to face my thunderous wrath!"
"In the future, your benefits will continue to increase. I promise you here that within six months, all your benefits will double."
Upon hearing this, everyone became excited.
Chen Jie raised his hand to quiet them down, then said, "With high benefits, naturally, I expect your sincerity! My requirements are simple: follow President He's arrangements, do not have ulterior motives. Otherwise, Yuchen's fate will be your example."
Everyone's hearts tightened.
They sat up straight, not daring to breathe.
It seemed they wanted to prove their loyalty to the company through their demeanor.
"That's all I have to say. He Yufei, you will handle the rest of the matters."
After speaking, Chen Jie turned to Ronan and said, "Let's go."
Before Chen Jie could leave, someone stood up and reported to He Yufei, "President He, we have simulated the production of some drugs. The machines are all running again. Should we officially start production?"
He Yufei waved her hand and said calmly, "No rush, I'll see Mr. Chen out first. We'll discuss everything when I get back."
Chen Jie said it wasn't necessary to see him off, but He Yufei insisted.
So, he had no choice but to let He Yufei escort him out of the company.
As He Yufei walked, she attracted the gazes of all the men.
"The general manager is too beautiful. If you say she didn't get where she is by using her body, I won't believe you!"
"Are those two going to have a go at it in the car?"
"Envious, jealous, and hateful."
