Chapter 495: Dismissal
As a qualified subordinate, Yang Chen needs to maintain Tang Shuo's external image.
Even though he knew that Tang Shuo's decision was a bit too arbitrary, even blind, he still did not raise dissenting opinions in the meeting, but planned to discuss the topic with the other party in private.
In fact, he only received the news that Tang Shuo was coming ten minutes before he entered the meeting room, so the two of them had not communicated.
In his impression, both Tang Shuo and Jiang Tiantong were excellent and intelligent people, and they would never do anything that would disregard other people's opinions. Of course, when it came to business, Yang Chen still admired Jiang Tiantong more.
He vaguely felt that Tang Shuo's move had another meaning, but he just couldn't figure it out for the time being.
After a while, when the discussion in the conference room had died down a bit, Tang Shuo coughed twice and continued, "The second thing is about some recent rumors about the company."
Tang Shuo's eyes swept across the faces of the people in the center of the conference room one by one. When his gaze landed on a man with a high nose bridge, he said, "Finance Manager Jack, you are fired."
"Why?"
The man with the high nose bridge immediately stood up and said, "If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, then I will definitely go to court to sue you."
Tang Shuo shrugged and said, "If I were you, I would definitely turn around and leave right now."
“…”
The man with the high nose bridge looked at Tang Shuo for a few seconds, snorted, and then turned and walked out of the office.
Everyone else in the meeting room was confused by the charade between the two and had no idea why things had turned out this way.
They naturally didn't know why Tang Shuo suddenly attacked. But Jack had always been very tough in his work, so how could he give in just because of a few soft words?
However, Tang Shuo didn't let anyone get too confused. He cleared his throat and said directly, "Jack leaked the company's financial information to a rival company, so we've imposed a penalty. We'll hire a lawyer to prosecute him next."
“…”
Tang Shuo didn't seem to have said he wanted to sue the other party just now, so why is he suing now?
But they couldn't deny that Tang Shuo hadn't said he wouldn't sue the other party. So, it seemed like there wasn't anything inappropriate about it.
"Today's main announcements are about these two things," Tang Shuo concluded. "The company is currently developing very smoothly. While ensuring expansion, we must also pay attention to the brand's reputation. If there are no other questions, today's meeting will end here."
…
Heizi looked at Zhang Jingxin who was packing up office supplies and asked in shock, "Are you really fired?"
After the high-level meeting, the news of Zhang Jingxin and Jack being fired spread like wildfire. As soon as Heizi heard the news, he immediately rushed to the marketing department.
"Um."
Zhang Jingxin smiled wryly and nodded, then picked up the packed box.
"Wait a minute." Heizi stopped Zhang Jingxin and said, "I'll go with you to see Tang Shuo. Let's explain everything to him."
"I have asked to meet him. But he did not agree to see me." Zhang Jingxin said bitterly.
"If you quit, there's no point in me staying here."
Heizi took off the walkie-talkie from his body and threw it on the table, saying, "But before that, you have to explain what happened to you some time ago."
"What's the matter?" Zhang Jingxin pretended to be stupid.
"Don't think I don't know." A shrewd look flashed in Heizi's eyes, and he said with great certainty, "You secretly call me in the middle of the night every day, and your behavior has become sneaky, and most of the time you do it behind my back."
"If you've truly done something dishonorable, go and explain everything to Tang Shuo now," Heizi continued. "We don't ask for his forgiveness. We can just leave together after explaining everything. At worst, we can start over!"
Zhang Jingxin shook his head, patted Heizi on the shoulder and said, "You stay!"
…
office.
Tang Shuo looked up at Yang Chen who had just entered the room and said first, "If you're here to plead for Zhang Jingxin, then you don't have to say anything."
"I……"
Yang Chen opened his mouth, then said resolutely, "Zhang Jingxin just had some disagreements with President Jiang. How could you fire him over such a small matter? If it weren't for him, I'm afraid Tang Yun's early development wouldn't have been so smooth."
"What if it's not just these little things?" Tang Shuo asked back.
Tang Shuo's words revealed quite a bit of information. Yang Chen was stunned after hearing it and asked, "Is there anything else important?"
"There are other things, but they're not about the company." Tang Shuo replied simply, then changed the subject: "Are all the things I asked you to prepare ready?"
"I'm ready."
Yang Chen was still stuck on the previous question. He answered instinctively and then stood there thinking.
Tang Shuo himself attributed the discord between Zhang Jingxin and Jiang Tiantong to a trivial matter, which means that the reason for the dismissal is totally untenable. Then what was the big deal that led the other party to dismiss Zhang Jingxin?
"Why don't you bring it over?" Tang Shuo waited for a long time but didn't see Yang Chen take any action, so he urged him.
Yang Chen woke up as if from a dream, and immediately took out the total expenditure of all GG projects in this period of time.
Tang Shuo took the information and glanced at it. He said, "Double the result, and then use that figure to make a payment commitment for me."
During the time Jiang Tiantong took over Tang Yun's management, the biggest expense was the GG project. Compared to this, other aspects seemed somewhat insufficient.
In the past month alone, the company has burned through nearly $300 million in North American network and television. Add to that the investment in other fixed-end brands and the company's GG fees in Europe and Asia, and the total has reached a staggering $2 billion.
What Tang Shuo lacks most now is undoubtedly money. Only money can help him get rid of the current predicament of all parties. Now he wants to find a sucker who can afford it to help him.
"Um?"
Yang Chen thought he had misheard and asked in confusion, "What did you say?"
Tang Shuo repeated his words and then continued, "Don't let this matter leak out for the time being."
"Who do you want to ask for this money?" Yang Chen asked doubtfully.
Two billion US dollars doubled is four billion, which is more than twenty billion Chinese yuan. Yang Chen was really curious about who Tang Shuo would ask to sign it, but the question was who could afford such a huge amount of money.
"You've guessed it, right?" Tang Shuo asked with a smile.
…
London, The Ritz Hotel.
This hotel, located next to the museum, highlights traditional London cuisine and attracts many tourists who come here.
The restaurant on the seventh floor of the hotel.
Zhang Jingxin walked in and said directly, "It's already reserved, table 39."
The waiter nodded and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Please follow me."
Zhang Jingxin followed the waiter and walked straight to the corner of the hotel.
When he saw the elegant man drinking afternoon tea at the table in the distance, he shook his head in his heart with regret.
Is it a blessing or a curse for him to have an opponent like Tang Shuo?
After Zhang Jingxin sat down, he asked directly, "I've been fired by Tang Shuo now. I'm completely useless to you. Why are you still looking for me?"
The elegant man put down the dessert in his hand, shook his head and said, "What I said still stands. I will definitely give you what I should give you in the end."
If she hadn't been prepared, Zhang Jingxin felt that she might really be persuaded by the other party. When the other party said this, both his eyes and expression were sincere and there was nothing wrong with it.
Although she wasn't moved at all by what the other person said, Zhang Jingxin had to pretend to be touched and nodded, saying, "Thank you."
"Tang Shuo's sudden appearance was a mistake in our intelligence, but the impact isn't significant and won't change anything." As if feeling his words were a bit lacking, the elegant man added, "The current situation is still favorable for us."
