Wen Yanqing knocked on the conference table unhurriedly, silencing the mutters.

“If you say I’m spouting falsehoods, then that would mean the dozens of managerial staff are also throwing baseless accusations. Is that what you’re saying?” Wen Yanqing’s voice carried over the room. “I’m not charging you with these crimes; these are the reports jointly submitted by the department heads and branch leaders. Sir Fang, perhaps you think too highly of me. Do you believe I could have bribed all of these people?”

It was true Wen Yanqing was not the one pinning these charges against him, but would anyone have had the guts to expose all of this if not for him? Fang Wanhui refused to believe it.

He and Wen Yanqing had had several disagreements in recent years. How could Wen Yanqing let go of such a good opportunity?

Just then, a voice spoke up in support of Wen Yanqing. “Fang Wanhui, I’ve seen what you’ve done with my eyes. Your abuse of power drove away Director Gong. Du Xun, don’t think that no one knows you’ve been fooling the company’s directors, siphoning the company’s assets for yourself!”

Du Xun was quite bold, pulling the tricks he had. Now that he had been exposed, he did not dare speak up. He relied on Fang Wanhui, who was in the same boat, to take the lead.

Fang Wanhui glared at Du Xun. With no other options, he spoke up, “Mr. Wen, when Rendong was in your position, his stance was nearly as tough as yours.”

Wen Yanqing chuckled. “That’s why he stepped down. Is the Shengfeng Group under him the same one we work in now?”

No one could say otherwise.

Wen Yanqing’s ability was undeniable.

“Even if the vote isn’t sufficient to oust the two of you, you’ve both caused serious harm to the group’s interests. According to the company’s charter, the shareholders have the right to dismiss you with immediate effect with only a simple majority. Considering you’ve both served the company for so many years, I’d hoped to give you some face, but I never thought the two of you would be so unrepentant.” Wen Yanqing snapped the folder shut.

So what if it was put to a vote among the board of directors? The shareholders’ meeting was more than enough to pass the resolution. Wen Yanqing’s shares were equivalent to controlling how the company’s shareholders would vote.

As long as he proposed the motion to dismiss them, the other directors were not likely to object.

Besides, the evidence against Fang Wanhui and Du Xun was ironclad, and no one supported them.

The resolution was passed without issue. Fang Wanhui only heard the tail end of Wen Yanqing’s sentence. All his crimes were laid bare, and a docket was produced for the police who arrived to bring the two men into custody. Fang Wanhui and Du Xun’s faces paled considerably.

It was practically certain that they would be sentenced to jail.

Fang Wanhui thought of Lin Mingbai, who had been looking for him for two months. He was filled with hatred and regret. He must have started the fire. Otherwise, Wen Yanqing would not have suddenly gone on the offensive and caught him off guard.

Wen Yanqing was thinking about his girlfriend, who was waiting for him to come home for dinner. He did not have time to waste with them. He quickly resolved the problem in the meeting and returned to his office.

Yi Qian followed behind Wen Yanqing. Even though he knew Wen Yanqing was straightforward and decisive, he still sighed in his heart every time he saw the former at work.

“What’s next on the agenda?” Wen Yanqing asked.

Yi Qian checked the schedule. “Nothing special. However, the marketing activities of the project that the Department of Development is responsible for seem to have encountered a bottleneck. They are looking for an extension from you.”

Wen Yanqing looked at the date. “The project deadline isn’t up, yet they’re hoping for an extension already?”

Yi Qian understood. “Alright, I’ll convey your thoughts to the person in charge. Also, is there anything you’d like to have for lunch? I’ll make the reservations for you.”

Wen Yanqing sat down and rolled his sleeves. “No, it’s fine,” he said. “I’m going home for lunch.”

“?” How long was his lunch break going to be? Yi Qian could not help but check the time. Now that Wen Yanqing had finished dealing with those fossils, he looked far more relaxed, almost joyful. The mark on his neck…

Tsk! What was he, a man still single, worrying about? His boss clearly had someone else on his mind..
