Chapter 364: Fired

Although Lu Ming didn’t know what Chen Ziqiu was thinking, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled when he saw that some words on the system had changed. She didn’t seem to have done anything, right? Why did the system’s evaluation of her loyalty increase so much? Her sincerity almost stunned him! However, he didn’t dwell on this matter for long. He looked at a middle-aged man in the corner and said, “Manager Ge is the department head of the Qianyu Group.

Right?”

Manager Ge, who was suddenly cued, froze. The smile on his lips had yet to fade. What is going on? Isn’t the meeting almost over? Why did the boss suddenly notice a nobody like me? I haven’t done anything to expose my identity, right?

He carefully recalled his recent actions. Even when he sent messages to the real boss, he was fully undercover. No one would recognize him! So… Did Lu Ming just call me randomly? Or does he have something important for me to do?

Although he had been in the Qianyu Group for decades, he had received a huge bribe from a certain company a while ago. He only needed to regularly report what he knew to that company! This had been going on for almost half a year without anyone noticing. He had gone from being careful at the beginning to being completely at ease later on.

He was confident that even in the future, no one would know what he had done behind their backs!

Therefore, he immediately regained his composure and asked, “Yes, CEO Lu. Do you have any instructions?”

A trace of mockery flashed across Lu Ming’s eyes. No wonder there are always companies that cause trouble for me, he thought. If he hadn’t reacted quickly and made many preparations, the company would have been dragged down long ago. Even though he had suspected that someone had been leaking information, he couldn’t track down the person, so he gave up.

So it’s management?

If he did not have the system’s reward, he would have to wait a long time before he could find these rats. At that time, the company would definitely have lost a large sum of money! Thinking of this, he said with a smile, “I remember that your department’s performance this year wasn’t very good, right? If I didn’t look at the information, I wouldn’t have remembered what your department does.

As a leader, you don’t lead your subordinates to work properly, and are always slacking off! Moreover, in the year-end report, you didn’t say what your goals are for the next year. Do you plan to continue slacking off? Before the companies merged, I told you that I don’t accept people who aren’t motivated, and I’m not interested in raising a pile of trash, so…

From tomorrow onwards, you don’t have to report to work. As for this month’s salary, I’ll get someone to settle it with you. I can’t be bothered to take back your year-end bonus. Just treat it as compensation for your mental damage.”

The unexpected layoff confused everyone present. What the hell? Wasn’t everything fine just now? Why did the topic suddenly change to this? Could it be that the boss already had something planned? That couldn’t be right, right? If he really had such a plan, why did he give us the year-end bonuses in advance?

They felt that they could not keep up with their boss’ train of thought.

However, this was only the beginning. The next thing they knew, they witnessed their boss firing their colleagues for various reasons.

“Assistant Zhang, the last time I was at the company, I saw you playing Fight the Landlord with someone during office hours. I had no complaints about your past good performance, but this year, you became as bad as Supervisor Ge. We’re all adults. I think you can understand the decision I’m making. Pack your things and leave the company with Supervisor Ge.

Manager Jin, there’s nothing wrong with your work. But I heard that your mistress came to the company a while ago. It won’t be good if outsiders see this. It will affect our company’s reputation. Moreover, I’ve already told you in advance that you can do whatever you want with your private life. Just don’t drag the company down with you. However, you’ve obviously crossed the line. Leave.

Director Xiang, you have a good relationship with Manager Jin. Although your performance is ranked at the top, someone told me that you brought a client to the bar to discuss work. Even though it’s a good thing that you can negotiate, those who don’t know might think that Lu Ming Corporation endorses your behavior. You’re simply dragging down the reputation of your colleagues! I think you should go back and rest.

By the way, let Ran Yan handle the project you have on hand. I remember that this young lady is quite good.”

…

Instantly, a hush fell over the conference room.

Regardless of whether their names were called, everyone looked stunned and wondered if they were dreaming. But the boss’s bright smile forced them to reckon with reality. Every time he smiled widely, it meant that he was in a bad mood.

Seeing that Lu Ming had finally stopped calling out names, a certain someone sitting among them heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as he was still around! The others might not be able to tell, but how could he not know? After all, he had private liaisons with a few of those who had been fired. If he guessed correctly, Lu Ming had probably used some means to sniff out the spies in the company!

Lu Ming even made a detailed list!

He figured that Lu Ming had the names before the meeting and had specially waited for this moment to make an example of them. He thought that it would be over once Lu Ming fired a few of those people, but he did not expect that he would be so ruthless as to fire all the people who had problems! With the loss of so many management personnel, won’t the company be in chaos? Or…

Is Lu Ming confident that he could calm people down in the shortest time possible?

He was glad that he usually covered his tracks well. Even if Lu Ming really wanted to investigate, he wouldn’t be able to find out what was wrong with his work or private life! This is good in a way, he thought. Now that I’m the only spy left in Lu Ming Corporation, I can take my time to leak information.

In the past, with so many other spies, it was very likely that they were leaking the same information.

Those who planted them here as spies would not pay them the agreed sum for divulging the same information as others, so he was naturally very on the ball. Whenever he obtained a new piece of information, he could not wait to report it immediately! In the past, it was the hirer who chose him. With the situation now, it was finally his turn to choose the hirer. There were many people who wanted to get information about Lu Ming Corporation! At this moment, he could visualize lots of money coming his way!

However, if he had been calmer, he would have noticed that Lu Ming was looking at him.

This was the last one—he had been bribed and had tried to change the company’s account book in vain. Lu Ming remembered this young man. He was good at his job. If nothing went wrong, he would be promoted to the middle and upper echelons after he had enough experience. He was a good seedling. Unfortunately… He was also a rat.

So what if his abilities were outstanding?
