Chapter 88 How to Deal with Yourself

Chen Qinian frowned, clearly displeased: "Is it really worth it for an intern?"

Chen Jingyang chuckled, took out a cigarette, lit it, and crossed his legs: "So what if he's an intern? Aren't interns human beings? Does being an intern mean you can just let him slap you in front of so many people?"

A few words left Chen Qinian speechless.

Chen Jingyang snorted and questioned Chen Qinian: "Do you know how outstanding that intern is? If it weren't for him discovering the problems in the draft contract, we could have lost over a billion yuan!"

He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly, "I used to turn a blind eye to things because of you, but now that we need people, he still dares to act so recklessly. Giving him a beating is too lenient!"

Chen Qinian was losing face. He really wanted to get an explanation for Wang Hu, but Chen Jingyang completely ignored him.

Chen Jingyang flicked his cigarette ash, his words becoming increasingly impolite: "What kind of place is this company? Even I have to work like a dog every day, what gives him the right to swagger around here?"

Amidst the swirling smoke, Chen Jingyang's face appeared remarkably calm and indifferent, unlike that of a young man in his early twenties.

"People shouldn't be too greedy or too opportunistic. They should know when to stop while they're ahead, don't you think?"

Chen Qinian was filled with regret. Wang Hu could cry and make a scene, but he shouldn't have softened his heart and agreed to let him come to find Chen Jingyang. Not only did he get himself into trouble, but he also lost all face!

"If you see Wang Hu, please pass on this message: I'm protecting that intern. If he doesn't learn his lesson and dares to mess with my people again, I won't hesitate to have the Disciplinary Committee investigate what good deeds he's done over the years! Don't blame me for not giving you face then!"

Chen Qinian was rebuffed, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. Feeling embarrassed, he stood up to leave: "Okay, I'll pass on the message to him when I have the chance. You... you're busy."

"Wait a minute!" Chen Jingyang stubbed out his cigarette and smiled. "Since you're here, why don't you sign something before you leave? It'll save Lin Zheyan from having to make another trip to your office."

Chen Jingyang took out a piece of paper and slapped it on the table. He handed Chen Qinian a pen and smiled at him, saying, "I've already signed it. Now it's just your turn."

Chen Qinian took it and saw that it was a commendation notice.

He read it aloud, then frowned slightly: "Isn't a prize of 100,000 yuan too much?"

Too much? Just for that slap Wang Hu gave Zhang Pengfei, he wouldn't even want 1 million!

Chen Jingyang grinned and said, "Uncle, didn't I just say that if he hadn't discovered the problems in the draft contract, we might have lost over a billion yuan? You think a reward of 100,000 yuan is too much? I remember Wang Hu's year-end bonus was more than 100,000 yuan!"

Chen Qinian looked up at Chen Jingyang, who smiled and met his gaze with a relaxed expression. He remained silent for a moment, then signed the document without saying anything more.

That afternoon, a commendation notice appeared on the company's intranet homepage and in the email inboxes of all employees.

To all colleagues:

To further promote a spirit of dedication and initiative, and to establish a model of excellence and risk prevention, the company hereby issues a commendation and special award to Zhang Pengfei, an intern in the Administration Department.

Recently, Comrade Zhang Pengfei, with a high sense of responsibility and keen risk awareness, promptly discovered a major hidden danger clause and reported it to his superiors and legal department at the first opportunity, effectively preventing the occurrence of potential risks.

Comrade Zhang Pengfei's performance fully demonstrates his dedication to the company and proactive professionalism, showcasing outstanding risk control awareness and cross-departmental collaboration skills. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, the company's management has decided to award Comrade Zhang Pengfei the following:

Company-wide commendation;

A special bonus of RMB 100,000 will be awarded.

We hope that all employees will take Comrade Zhang Pengfei as an example, always maintain a rigorous, meticulous, and responsible attitude in their daily work, actively identify and solve problems, and jointly safeguard the company's interests and development.

This is to inform you!

Director Wang's eyes widened in fury upon seeing the commendation notice. He immediately called Chen Qinian, angrily asking, "Brother-in-law, did you go to see Chen Jingyang? How come that little brat not only didn't leave, but he even got a commendation!"

Chen Qinian was disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly. The commendation notice was issued in less than half an hour after he signed it, which was incredibly fast and set a record for the fastest notice since the establishment of Tanzhi. This shows how efficient Chen Jingyang is!

"Wang Hu!" Chen Qinian said, his voice filled with exasperation, "You really went too far in this matter. Who do you think you are? How could you hit someone in public?!"

Wang Hu exploded upon hearing this: "Brother-in-law, how can you say that! He's just an intern, yet he dared to talk back to me in front of so many people. If I don't teach him a lesson, how will I ever show my face in the future! Besides, I once beat up a senior manager, and he didn't say a word. It's really weird! When I get back, I'll see how I deal with that kid!"

"You dare!" Luckily, the two were on the phone. If Wang Hu had been in front of them, Chen Qinian might have slapped him too!

"This matter ends here. As for Zhang Pengfei, stay away from him from now on. If you dare to cause trouble again, even I can't save you!"

Wang Hu was stunned: "No, brother-in-law, a mere intern, are you really going to let him shit on my head? How am I supposed to face anyone at the company after this!"

In fact, Chen Qinian also felt that this matter was a bit strange. Although Chen Jingyang's words sounded watertight, he was always prudent in his work. It was too abnormal for him to hit someone without saying a word this time.

The senior manager that Wang Hu had previously beaten was personally interviewed and recruited by Chen Jingyang. Chen Jingyang was also very angry at the time of the incident, but it was far from the point where he had to physically assault someone. In the end, both sides were punished equally and the matter was settled.

Why would they beat Wang Hu so badly that he can't even go out in public just because of an intern?

Even if this intern is excellent, can he be better than the senior manager who was poached?

Yes, he discovered some major hidden danger, but is this matter worth Chen Jingyang taking action to beat up a department director for him?

Or is Chen Jingyang actually using this incident to launch an attack on him, aiming to gradually eliminate dissidents?

Chen Qinian couldn't help but start to think it over carefully.

Chen Jingyang is a notorious rebellious son of a wealthy family. He doesn't even respect his own father, let alone himself, a third-generation collateral relative.

The partnership with Zenti is now even more powerful. Once the company goes public, Chen Jingyang will be able to soar to great heights. At that time, not only will he, the nominal CEO, be unable to do anything to him, but even Chen Qishan himself will be unable to do anything to him!

When the new board of directors is established, how should he position himself?

Is there still a place for him here at Tanzhi?
