Chapter 154 Replacement

Dou Qiaoyun became even more anxious and hurriedly lifted him off her lap, feeling him up and down: "Feifei, where is it broken? Does it hurt? Are you alright?"

"I...!" Zhang Pengfei pointed to his head and heart: "These two places are broken, Mom, I don't like women anymore! Waaah..."

Dou Qiaoyun was stunned!

"Feifei..." She stared blankly at her son, "How...how could this be? You're a man, how could you not like women?"

Zhang Pengfei shook his head, sobbing uncontrollably, "I don't know, it just broke, Mom...!"

"Then, then, can it be cured?"

Zhang Pengfei continued to shake his head: "It can't be cured."

He knelt down with a thud, his eyes quickly filling with a deathly gray, and asked Dou Qiaoyun, "Mom, do you still want a son like me?"

Dou Qiaoyun's heart leaped into her throat. She quickly leaned over and hugged Zhang Pengfei, the movement so forceful that she almost fell off her wheelchair.

"Yes! Of course I want it!" She was both shocked and terrified. Zhang Pengfei's question clearly indicated that he didn't want to live anymore!

"Feifei, no matter what kind of person you are, you are still my son!" She hugged Zhang Pengfei tightly, as if he would commit suicide if she let go.

The moment tears welled up, the words also burst out: "Mom doesn't dislike you! If you don't like it, you don't like it!"

Zhang Pengfei sniffed and nuzzled his face against her chest: "But if that's the case, you'll never be able to hold your grandson."

"Then I won't hug him, it's no big deal! I have my son to take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die!"

The warmth from a mother's embrace always gives one the greatest sense of security in the world. Zhang Pengfei's chaotic heart gradually calmed down, as if the world had given him more than just despair and pain.

The next morning at eight o'clock, Chen Jingyang appeared in front of Chen Qishan on time, knelt down properly before him, and bowed his head: "Father, good morning."

Call him father, not dad.

It was as if it was reminding him that they were only related by blood, and there was no kinship between them.

Chen Qishan scoffed coldly: "Okay, get up, let's go eat."

"I want to eat at the company," Chen Jingyang said quickly. "I have a lot of things to do, and I'm afraid I'll have to work overtime for too long tonight and won't be able to get back by seven o'clock."

Chen Qishan glanced at him: "Whatever."

However, once he arrived at the company, he realized just how ruthless Chen Qinian had been!

Li Shijun, the newly appointed administrative director who had recently succeeded Wang Hu, hurriedly went to greet him as he approached: "President Chen."

Chen Jingyang stopped: "What's wrong?"

Li Shijun was promoted by him, so he was considered one of his men.

“Uh…” Li Shijun clenched his lips and bit them, looking very troubled.

"What is it? Speak!"

"Um..." Li Shijun scratched his forehead, "Boss Chen said you should work in the large office area of ​​the technical department on the 10th floor..."

He paused for a moment, seemingly finding it very difficult to say: "Also, I need to take a photo of your face so that you can... clock in and out of get off work in the future."

Chen Jingyang took out his phone, took a selfie, and sent it to Li Shijun, asking, "Is this one okay?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Is there anything else?"

"No, no, Mr. Chen, let me take you to your workstation."

Chen Jingyang nodded: "Thank you for your trouble. Also, from now on you can just call me Engineer Chen, don't call me 'Cha' anymore."

Li Shijun lowered his head, not daring to look Chen Jingyang in the eye, and said hesitantly, "Okay, okay."

In truth, he never intended to treat Chen Jingyang this way.

Although he wouldn't dare say he was of the highest moral character, he still understood the principle of gratitude.

However, it was precisely for this reason that Chen Qinian deliberately sent him to tell Chen Jingyang this news—so what if you promoted him? He still has to do things according to my orders!

Otherwise, you might as well quit.

But someone Li Shijun's age wouldn't dare to quit his job so easily!

Chen Jingyang was well aware of Chen Qinian's intentions, but he didn't care.

When Zhang Pengfei worked here, he also worked in the large office area and had to clock in and out every day.

To be honest, if he weren't Chen Qishan's son, then this kind of ordinary life of clocking in and out of get off work would be what he should have.

Didn't you want to break away from the Chen family?

This is life after leaving the Chen family!

However, he was not ashamed of it.

Chen Jingyang's most admired person is Steve Jobs.

My favorite speech is Steve Jobs' commencement address at Stanford University in 2005.

Steve Jobs was 50 years old at the time, and he was already a successful and well-known figure.

In his second story, he shared his experience of being fired from the company he founded, admitting that it was a devastating blow to his life, but later it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him.

In fact, there are similar sayings in China, such as "a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise" and "Heaven will entrust a great task to this person."

Therefore, this failure is less of a painful blow to him and more of a valuable lesson that he can bear!

As soon as Chen Jingyang entered the office area, he seemed to become a giant, mobile magnet. Everyone's eyes were drawn to him, some curious, some mocking, some regretful, and some indignant.

In short, all sorts of strange gazes followed him, and he didn't look away even after he sat down at his desk.

Chen Jingyang had seen many people staring at him, but most of those gazes were admiring and respectful, not like the way they looked at a monkey doing a handstand.

He glanced at it indifferently, his voice as chilling as a winter storm, sending a shiver down the spine of the entire office: "Am I good-looking?"

Everyone turned their heads.

"President Chen!"

"President Chen!"

......

Several of his senior engineers gathered around, their eyes reddening.

Chen Jingyang clicked his tongue and frowned, saying, "Go back, all of you! Don't you think there's enough work already? Also, there's only Engineer Chen here, not General Manager Chen. Don't call him that in the future."

The group had no choice but to stop, grit their teeth, and return to their respective workstations.

Chen Jingyang turned on his computer, logged into his email, and as expected saw the email about his dismissal, which was also announced to all employees.

He scrolled down with a blank expression, his face growing increasingly grim—Chen Qinian had actually fired six engineers in one go!

Moreover, all six engineers were once his capable assistants!

Furthermore, almost all of those who remained were demoted or transferred from core technical positions.

Meanwhile, several job postings have been placed on the homepage of Tanzhi's official website, and it's easy to imagine that headhunters are already enthusiastically recommending new candidates to the human resources department.

As expected, Lee Kin-yan replaced him as CTO.
