Yi An entered the conference room amidst warm greetings.
He glanced casually and happened to see Chairman Wang sitting in the first seat, his face looking very unpleasant.
He secretly curled the corners of his mouth and glanced at He Zimo, who was sitting opposite Chairman Wang.
"Everyone's here, let's begin the board meeting."
As soon as Yi An finished speaking, Chairman Wang, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
"I heard that the company recently lost a large order. Chairman Yi, is that true?"
Yi An glanced at He Zimo without leaving a trace, and seeing that he was obviously nervous, she smiled easily and said, "Yes, there is, Mr. Wu's order."
Chairman Wang's gaze hardened as he looked at the enigmatic smile on his face.
"Chairman Yi has only been in office for a short time and doesn't know much about the company's affairs, let alone how much impact Mr. Wu's order will have on us. I'd better ask Mr. He, a veteran of the company, about this matter."
Chairman Wang turned to look at He Ziming, "How did President Wu lose the order?"
He Ziming looked at his questioning gaze and knew that this was the reason he had come. He had already prepared his explanation.
But before he could even speak, Yi'an intercepted him halfway.
"Let me explain to Chairman Wang."
Yi An raised her hand to Zhao Bo, who immediately understood and presented the prepared reports to Chairman Wang.
"This is a report from all the staff involved in General Manager Wu's order. He has expressed his deep remorse and explained all his problems. Please take a look, Chairman Wang."
Chairman Wang casually flipped through the documents, but when he didn't see He Ziming's, his expression turned sour.
He said bluntly, "What's the difference between this little thing and a primary school student's self-criticism? You think you can just write a self-criticism and get away with losing this order? Chairman Yi is really merciful!"
Yi An shrugged at his meaningful "praise," then turned and asked, "So, I wonder how Chairman Wang plans to handle this matter?"
Chairman Wang immediately turned his gaze to He Ziming, "To deal with this matter, we must first find out who is the culprit who lost this order!"
Yi An pretended not to understand his gaze, "Then who does Chairman Wang think is the culprit?"
Chairman Wang stared coldly at He Ziming without saying a word, but his meaning was clear.
He looked at He Ziming with a sudden realization, as if he had just understood the instructions, and exclaimed, "Chairman Wang thinks the culprit is General Manager He?"
He Ziming immediately stood up and earnestly apologized: "Chairman Wang, Chairman Yi, I do bear a great deal of responsibility for this matter and cannot shirk my fault. I have been trying my best to make amends, continuing to contact General Manager Wu, and striving to salvage this deal."
Yi An frowned and spoke again: "Is it still possible to salvage this? I heard that President Wu already has a preferred partner and is in talks with him."
His words made Chairman Wang's face turn even uglier.
"Mr. He's so-called compensation is just a delaying tactic, isn't it? You can't even put together a perfunctory apology?"
Seeing that the fire had already been fanned up, Yi An stopped talking and watched coldly from the sidelines.
He Ziming was somewhat flustered. "Didn't Chairman Wang also say that a written self-criticism is just a superficial thing? I still think that practical actions are the best proof."
"And what about your actual actions? You don't even know who General Manager Wu is going to give the order to?"
Chairman Wang pressed on relentlessly, like a machine gun, giving He Ziming no room to maneuver.
He Ziming tried to explain: "I..."
But Chairman Wang impatiently interrupted him: "I heard that President He's wife also came to the company yesterday and caused quite a stir. I personally believe that at this critical juncture, it is unnecessary to involve the company in family conflicts caused by personal conduct."
He Ziming was caught off guard when the man suddenly brought up this matter, and he panicked.
"Chairman Wang, yesterday was just a misunderstanding. I have investigated the matter thoroughly and will give the company an explanation."
"Does Mr. He's instruction mean simply firing company employees at will?" Chairman Wang immediately retorted.
He Zimo paused for a moment, then realized he was referring to He Man and Xiao Liu.
How did Chairman Wang even know about this?
He glanced subconsciously at Yi An, who was looking at the scenery. "Chairman Wang, the two employees you mentioned who were fired have nothing to do with this matter. It was entirely because they were not doing their jobs properly, chatting and eating sunflower seeds during work hours. Do you think Chengyan Technology is going to keep people like that?"
Chairman Wang is very good at grasping the key points of conversation.
"Gossiping? What kind of gossip are you talking about?"
He Ziming was stumped by the question, and his expression turned rather unpleasant.
Anyone could see that this joke was about He Zimo's messy affairs.
Chairman Wang's face darkened completely. "First, because of your own mistakes, you lost Mr. Wu's order, which had a huge impact on the company. Even other employees in the company know to write a self-criticism report, but you don't even have a hint of remorse. Then you caused a personal incident at the company and arbitrarily fired employees based entirely on your own mood."
"It seems that there's no need for this company to continue developing; it's become a place where you, Mr. He, can do whatever you want!"
Chairman Wang became increasingly angry as he spoke, and slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"Chairman Yi, if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation for this matter, then I'll have no choice but to seek advice from your father!"
He threw out this threat, turned around and left, leaving the other junior directors on the board dumbfounded.
Yi An looked troubled. "What should we do? How about you, Mr. He, have to suffer a bit?"
He immediately turned to the other board members and said coldly, "He Ziming's work has been temporarily suspended due to personal reasons that have seriously affected the company's development. He is hereby suspended from his duties."
He Ziming was stunned for a moment, then staggered and fell onto the chair.
The other board members exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.
A board meeting ended amidst this turmoil.
Zhao Bo shook his head and exclaimed, "You're really something! I never realized you were so cunning!"
Yi An's upturned lips twitched slightly. "Are you praising me?"
Zhao Bo patted him on the shoulder, "I'm praising you, I'm praising you! Your tactic of retreating to advance was brilliant! I was wondering why you so easily agreed to let He Ziming fire those two employees! So that's what you were waiting for!"
Zhao Bo clapped and laughed heartily, "Did you see He Ziming's face? It turned completely green! Hahahaha..."
He glanced over, saw something, and immediately pointed excitedly: "Hey, hey, hey, yes, yes, that's exactly what it looks like—green!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Bo suddenly realized something, and his smile froze on his face.
He mechanically turned his head to look at the person he was pointing at. Who else could it be but He Ziming?
He quickly withdrew his hand, carefully hugged it to his chest, and chuckled dryly, "Mr. He... what a coincidence!"
