Chapter 147: Dismissal
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
If he did not know about Ling Xuewei’s past experiences, Lin Bai would not have had the compassion to meddle in her family affairs.
The decision he made that day seemed to be a coincidence, but now that he thought about it, it was actually linked together.
Everything was secretly pulled together by fate.
It seemed to be a coincidence, but in fact, it was inevitable.
Lin Bai felt that from now on, he should pay close attention to the stock price of Soaring Phoenix Real Estate.
Since he had already decided to work with Ling Xuewei in the long run, it was about time for him to start preparing for investing some capital funds.
“Oh right, has Wang Hao been fired?”
Lin Bai suddenly remembered the guy he had almost forgotten about.
He didn’t want that bastard to still be in the company, lest he has to give him a share of the profits when he acquires the company.
Lin Bai would rather throw the money into the sewer than let the abominable Wang Hao get a single cent.
When Ling Xuewei heard Lin Bai ask about this, her expression immediately became awkward.
“… Not yet.”
“Why? Didn’t we agree to let him get lost?”
Lin Bai asked with a cold face. At the same time, he stared fixedly at Ling Xuewei’s face, not letting go of even the slightest expression.
Initially, he did not want to probe into Ling Xuewei’s personal feelings. After all, in his heart, he only thought of Ling Xuewei as a partner.
She was not his girlfriend. She could like whoever she wanted. Lin Bai could not be bothered to inquire about such things.
However, Ling Xuewei had previously defended Wang Hao. In addition, she was still delaying his dismissal.
This made Lin Bai doubt the relationship between Ling Xuewei and Wang Hao once again.
If there really was a romantic relationship between them, or if there was some other connection, then no matter how much Lin Bai admired Ling Xuewei, he would have to reconsider the matter of investing in the acquisition.
“You’ve been very protective of him before. Why?”
Lin Bai asked with a cold expression.
Ling Xuewei was stunned for a moment before she realized what Lin Bai was implying.
She quickly explained, “Mr. Lin, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t fire him right away purely because he has the shares of the company in his hands. I have to buy it back before I fire him
“In addition, I’ve been busy planning the sales plan of Yunding Villa recently. I was worried that there would be complications, so I didn’t fire him for the time being. I really didn’t mean to protect him. I’ll ask the Human Resources Department to fire him right now. Is that okay?”
Ling Xuewei was clearly really nervous and afraid that Lin Bai would go back on his word and terminate the cooperation.
Moreover, judging from her expression and tone when she spoke, it didn’t seem like she was lying.
Lin Bai chose to believe her.
“Well, then let him go through the procedures,” Lin Bai said.
Ling Xuewei was obviously relieved. She quickly said, “Okay, okay. I’ll inform him right away.”
Following that, Ling Xuewei called Wang Hao directly in front of Lin Bai.
“Wang Hao, go to the HR department immediately to proceed with the administrative procedures. You’re fired.”
“There’s no reason. The company will compensate you in full according to the regulations.”
“The company will buy back the shares in your hands.”
“Don’t come over. I don’t have time to see you either. Go handle the formalities.”
Ling Xuewei hung up the phone, not giving Wang Hao any room for discussion.
Although Lin Bai did not hear what Wang Hao said over the phone, it wasn’t difficult to imagine how confused and indignant Wang Hao was at the moment.
Ling Xuewei carefully asked Lin Bai, “Mr. Lin, is this all right?”
Lin Bai nodded. “Yes, I’m very satisfied.”
Only then did Ling Xuewei heave a sigh of relief.
Lin Bai reminded her again, “You forgot to tell him to apologize to Sun Jiandong’s family, you forgot to tell him.”
However, Ling Xuewei said, “I didn’t forget about that. It’s just that based on my understanding of Wang Hao, it’s impossible for him to agree.”
“Later, I’ll personally go to the hospital and apologize to Sun Jiandong and his wife in person. I’ll also pay the corresponding compensation.”
“After all, it was my sudden braking on the highway that caused them to be seriously injured. It’s only right for me to apologize.”
Lin Bai nodded. “That’s fine too. It doesn’t matter who apologizes. As long as the compensation is in place and can make their family feel better, it’s fine.”
Ling Xuewei said, “Don’t worry about that. I will definitely do my best to compensate.”
“Two million, is that okay?”
She probed.
Lin Bai said, “You can ask them about that. As long as they agree.”
Ling Xuewei said, “Alright. Then I’ll talk to them later. In any case, the final amount will definitely not be less than two million.”
She could tell that Lin Bai valued the feelings of Sun Jiandong’s family very much.
What he cared about was not the money, but whether the anger that Sun Jiandong’s family had felt previously could be appeased.
Ling Xuewei felt that this matter should not be difficult to handle. As long as her attitude was sincere enough and she gave them enough money, they would eventually forgive her.
Lin Bai asked again, “Wang Hao has been by your side for a long time, right? Has he done anything against the rules before? If so, release all the information of his misdeeds to the press. I don’t want to see this person again in the real estate industry of S City in the future.”
Ling Xuewei’s expression changed slightly. She didn’t expect that Lin Bai would try to oust and boycott him so badly.
Not only did he want Wang Hao to lose his job, but he also wanted him to be unable to continue working in the entire industry, or even in the entire S City.
Lin Bai saw the difficult expression on Ling Xuewei’s face and asked,
“What? You can’t do it, or you can’t bear to do it?”
Ling Xuewei quickly explained, “This is indeed not easy to do.”
“Wang Hao’s professional ability is quite strong, and he may even have some special connections.”
“Even if news of him breaking the rules were to be released, I’m afraid it might not affect his search for a new job.”
“After all, I can’t directly interfere with other companies. And although he has stepped on the line in the past, it’s not a big mistake. I’m afraid it’s not realistic to drive him out of the real estate industry just based on these.”
Lin Bai said, “Then give me all his information. I’ll deal with him slowly when I’m free. By the way, you just said that he might have some special connections. What do you mean?”
Ling Xuewei replied, “That’s my guess. I’m not sure about the specific details. But he was always able to know the government’s land planning and internal information about the bidding process in advance, so I guess he probably knows the people in the relevant departments.”
Lin Bai asked, “Was it because he had these connections that you gave him the shares?”
Ling Xuewei nodded. “Yes. In order to keep him and not let him jump ship to other companies easily, I gave him a lot of shares.”
Lin Bai asked again, “Then, do you think that after he gets fired, other companies will also give him shares or other benefits in order to recruit him?”
Ling Xuewei smiled bitterly and nodded. “I think the probability should be high. Even if those companies know that he has a dark history of stepping on legal boundaries?”
“Yes.”
