"Brother, we've been together for so many years, always looking out for each other. Last time when we were electing a manager, I was the one who helped you get people to vote so you could be chosen. How can you fire me now?"
As Hu Yuan was happily watching Tuantuan play, he suddenly heard some discordant sounds.
"Didn't I already say that the company is requiring layoffs? I have no choice. I heard that the company's CEO is inspecting our orchard right now. I can't afford to make any mistakes. Don't shout either, or you'll get me in trouble. You should pack your things and leave tomorrow. I won't treat you badly."
"If you want to lay off employees, you can lay off those who are lazy and unwilling to work. Why am I the first one? Did I do something wrong in my job?"
"Stop talking. I think everyone here is great, but we have to lay off staff. Headquarters gave me the quota, and I have to carry it out. If you don't leave, don't blame me for having security kick you out."
"Hmph, don't think I don't know. You only did this because you took money from someone else. I thought we were brothers, so I didn't have to give you money. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful."
The two completely broke off relations and started arguing. The man who was called the manager even tried to call security, but his phone was snatched away by the other man.
"What happened?"
Hu Yuan strolled over, wanting to find out what was going on.
"Who are you? Do you think it's your place to meddle in our company's internal affairs?"
The manager said somewhat impatiently.
"I brought my child here to play, and you were making too much noise, so I came to take a look. The customer is always right. If there are any conflicts between you that you can't resolve, you can talk about them, and I'll give you my opinion."
Hu Yuan didn't reveal his identity immediately, otherwise he would have been in trouble.
Based on what I just heard, this manager is probably not a good person.
If you can take the opportunity to remove a bad apple, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
"Exactly, what you did that you can't tell others? If you won't tell, I will..."
The other person recounted the whole story without any regard for the consequences.
"And what about you? Aren't you going to offer any explanation?"
Seeing that the manager's eyes were practically green with envy, Hu Yuan turned around and asked him a question.
"I have nothing to say. No matter what, I'm the manager now. I have the power, and I can deal with you as I see fit. What else do you have to complain about?"
To Hu Yuan's surprise, this guy didn't even bother to pretend anymore and just confessed.
"I treated you like a brother, and this is how you treat me? Do you really not want me as your brother anymore?"
The other person angrily questioned.
“We used to be penniless, and we could rely on each other, so we were brothers. Now I have a car, a house, and a phone. What do you have? What can you do for me? A brother like you won’t be able to help me with anything in the future. I’ll probably have to ask me for everything. It’s better to cut ties with you sooner rather than later.”
These words plunged the other man into utter despair. He never imagined that his brother, with whom he had spent so many years, would turn out to be such a treacherous and opportunistic person.
To be honest, even Hu Yuan was somewhat surprised. It's rare for someone to be so ruthless and heartless, yet to speak of it with such righteous indignation.
"He makes sense. It's true that you're better off without a brother like that."
Hu Yuan shook his head helplessly, then patted the other person on the shoulder.
The man was stunned again, wondering what was wrong with the world these days. Could this be the truth?
"Exactly, look what they've said, why don't you just get lost?"
The manager said smugly.
The man was extremely disappointed and could only turn and leave.
"You don't need to leave, you should go instead."
Hu Yuan said the first half of his sentence to the person who had turned around, and the second half to the smug-looking manager.
"What are you talking about? Who do you think you are? Even if you are a distinguished guest here, even if you are the manager or president of some company, you can't control me. Be careful, or I'll blacklist you and make sure you can never come here again."
The manager arrogantly pointed at Hu Yuandao.
"I'm just an ordinary person, but this isn't a place where you call the shots, is it?"
Hu Yuan wanted to see just how arrogant this guy could be. Could it be that once a person floats up, they can really reach an infinitely high level?
"Haha, you're really wrong. I'm the one who calls the shots here."
The manager laughed even more smugly.
"Actually, I'm also very curious. You're just a lowly manager with a salary of only ten thousand. How did you manage to buy a car, a house, and a cell phone?"
Although prices may not be as high as they will be many years from now, buying these things still requires a significant amount of money.
I bought this orchard less than six months ago, and I personally set up the election system, so this guy has been the manager for less than four months. How did he manage to buy so much stuff for just over 30,000 yuan?
If that's really the case, then he would truly be a rare talent.
"Hmph, he didn't buy all those things with his salary. He skimmed money off his employees and embezzled funds from higher-ups. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to afford them even in ten years."
The man who was stopped by Hu Yuan said disdainfully.
So that explains it. Only this way can we know the whole story.
Hu Yuan has always given his employees the best benefits, with salaries and benefits much better than those of other companies. That's why this guy, as a manager, is able to squeeze money out of his employees.
Just kidding. Hu Yuan pays each employee 300 more than other places. Even if he only deducts 100 from each person, that's still several thousand a month. Plus, some people ask him for favors or give him red envelopes to get in, so his monthly income really does exceed his salary by quite a bit.
If he really dares to embezzle funds, then there's nothing more to say.
Such parasites are a menace to the company if they remain there even for a day.
"Send two accountants over here. I need to verify the accounts at the orchard. They must be here within half an hour."
Hu Yuan didn't say anything more, but immediately called his secretary to arrange for an accountant to come over.
Although Hu Yuan's company doesn't have many talented people yet, it is an investment company after all, and it has hired quite a few ordinary accountants. It shouldn't be a problem to transfer two of them.
"Hey, what are you trying to prove here? Who do you think you can investigate?"
The manager poked Hu Yuan in the chest and said arrogantly.
"You just mentioned that the president was inspecting the orchard, right? I don't know what the president looks like. Do you?"
The other person suddenly seemed to realize something and asked the manager somewhat urgently.
