Before Su Ningshuang arrived, the executives of these companies had already received the notification and had seen Su Ningshuang's photo, so they recognized her at first glance.

"Hello, Ms. Su, I am Zhao Ming, the head of the Human Resources Department."

The middle-aged man introduced himself.

"Manager Zhao, where are the rest of the company? Why are so many people absent?"

Su Ningshuang glanced at the time; it was already past ten o'clock, and so many people were still missing from the huge conference room.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Su, the others have very important work to do, so they will be a little late."

Supervisor Zhao spoke.

"Go and notify them immediately that they must be in the meeting room within five minutes."

Su Ningshuang gave the order.

Earlier in the office, Ye Chen, as someone with experience, had briefly explained some things to keep in mind when being a boss to Su Ningshuang.

A boss can be approachable in normal times, but also needs to have an authoritative side. Otherwise, he won't be able to win people's respect, and no one will take him seriously. That's why Ye Chen said to arrive on time, rather than early.

"yes."

Supervisor Zhao immediately took action.

However, five minutes passed, and still no high-ranking official arrived.

At the sixth minute, a well-off middle-aged woman wearing a pearl necklace walked in.

"President Su is already here. I'm so sorry I'm late."

Upon seeing Su Ningshuang, the middle-aged woman spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Vice President Zhang."

"Hello, Vice President Zhang."

Upon seeing the wealthy woman, the others in the conference room immediately stood up and greeted her respectfully. Compared to when they greeted Su Ningshuang, they showed much more respect to this woman.

"I am Zhang Linna, the company's vice president."

The well-off woman introduced herself.

"Manager Zhao, why are there so few people in the conference room? Where are the others?!"

After greeting Su Ningshuang, Zhang Linna angrily rebuked Manager Zhao.

“Vice President Zhang, they…”

Supervisor Zhao began to defend himself.

“I don’t want to hear reasons. Now, call them over right now. If they don’t arrive within three minutes, they’re out of a job.”

The well-off woman angrily rebuked.

"yes."

Supervisor Zhao went to call for more people.

"President Su, please don't be angry. These people need to be disciplined."

Zhang Linna comforted Su Ningshuang.

This time, in less than two minutes, nearly half of the company's senior executives who were absent all arrived.

Seeing this, Ye Chen revealed a playful smile.

Interesting. On the surface, Zhang Linna seems very enthusiastic and treats Ning Shuang quite well.

In reality, this was all a show orchestrated by Zhang Linna, this cunning "old fox" in the workplace.

This kind of trick might fool a newbie like Ning Shuang who's just started working, but in Ye Chen's eyes, it's rather laughable.

Zhang Linna is demonstrating her authority and strength within the company.

The meeting was scheduled for 10 a.m., but half of the senior executives were absent. Ning Shuang asked someone to call those who were absent, but after five minutes, not a single one showed up.

As a result of Zhang Linna's order, everyone arrived in less than two minutes.

The contrast is stark.

"President Su, the company's benefits have remained unchanged over the years, which has caused some dissatisfaction among employees, resulting in low efficiency in handling matters."

Zhang Linna was still defending those who were late.

Just as Zhang Linna finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"If you're dissatisfied, why stay at the company?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Chen.

"President Su, who is he?"

At this moment, everyone truly noticed Ye Chen. Just now, they all thought Ye Chen was Su Ning Shuang's assistant or secretary.

But now, Ye Chen suddenly interrupted, making them realize that they might have guessed wrong.

"I forgot to introduce him, this is my boyfriend."

Su Ningshuang gave a grand introduction.

She was just annoyed by the company executives who were late, so she and Ye Chen stood there without saying a word, without any introductions.

CEO Su's boyfriend?

Manager Zhao looked at Ye Chen carefully, his eyes narrowing slightly. He felt that Ye Chen looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"Although you are President Su's boyfriend, you are not an employee of our Yimei Cosmetics Company. We do not want you to speak carelessly during our internal meetings."

Zhang Linna reprimanded Ye Chen.

"Mr. Zhang, please watch your words. What my boyfriend said is exactly what I said."

Su Ningshuang spoke domineeringly, not allowing Zhang Linna to speak like that.

Zhang Linna's expression turned somewhat unpleasant after Su Ningshuang's rebuke.

"What do you mean."

Zhang Linna asked Ye Chen.

"My meaning is very clear. Since the people who were late just now feel that the treatment at Yimei Cosmetics Company is not good, then they can leave from now on."

Ye Chen answered calmly.

"leave?"

Zhang Linna and those who were late were completely bewildered.

"If you still don't understand, then let me put it more bluntly."

Ye Chen walked to the front of the conference table, glanced around, and spoke in an unquestionable manner:

"Everyone who was late is fired!!!"

Those who were late earlier won't be so easily obeyed by Ning Shuang's orders.

Rather than letting them continue to cause trouble for Ning Shuang at the company, it's better to fire them all at once and resolve the issue in one fell swoop, so as to avoid them causing Ning Shuang all sorts of trouble in the future.

As soon as Ye Chen said this, the entire room fell into a deathly silence!

Half of the people were late just now. If so many senior executives are fired in one go, the company will probably be in a semi-paralyzed state.

Beside her, Su Ningshuang also realized what Ye Chen had said.

As a newbie in the workplace, Su Ningshuang didn't realize anything at first, but now that she saw Ye Chen was going to fire everyone who was late, Su Ningshuang understood.

"Fire us?"

"Are you crazy?!"

"Exactly, if they fire us, does Yimei Cosmetics Company even want to stay in business?"

Those late-arriving executives immediately retorted.

"Manager Zhao, go and process their paperwork."

Ye Chen turned his head and gave the order.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the late-arriving executives completely panicked.

"Think carefully. Once they are fired, the company will not be able to operate."

Zhang Linna said coldly.

"It can't operate? Who said that? Yimei Cosmetics Company will only take a half-day break, and twenty or thirty elites will arrive after that."

Ye Chen answered.

He planned to call his own people over for an emergency, but Ye Chen was being very conservative; he estimated it would only take two or three hours.

"Vice President Zhang, please save us."

“Vice President Zhang, we were just following your orders.”

“Vice President Zhang…”

The company executives who were late immediately sought help from Zhang Linna.

They just wanted to take advantage of the new boss to double their salary and benefits; they didn't want to be fired.

"you......."

Zhang Linna wanted to speak up for these people.

However, Ye Chen's next sentence left Zhang Linna speechless.
