Chapter 142 Compared to Cheng Qian's petty nature, Xiao Yan is much better
Li Zhinan felt as if he had been hit by a stick, with an indescribable feeling of irritation.
"I love myself. Okay, don't ask me questions like this again."
Wang Rui was terrified!
Did he hurt his boss's spine? That's why he's so angry.
"If anyone in the company spreads gossip about me and Cheng Yan behind our backs in the future, they will be fired immediately. I hired them to create value, not to gossip." Li Zhinan decided to suppress this matter quickly with thundering means.
Wang Rui quickly responded: "Don't worry, President Li, I will do as I'm told."
The news of Li Zhinan and Cheng Qian's divorce spread like wildfire in the company.
Among them, the happiest people were the group related to Cheng Yan.
The Cheng family seems to be on the verge of prosperity. Cheng Yan is Li Zhinan's sweetheart, and the position of Mrs. Li will belong to her.
Cheng Zhifei's family also thinks so.
At the Cheng family's breakfast table, everyone couldn't help but smile.
The old lady said in a proud tone, "That damn girl Cheng Qian is just too unlucky to be the mistress of the Li family. Xiaoyan has to take her place."
Cheng's mother was also extremely happy and said proudly, "Xiaoyan has a calm temperament. Anyone with eyes can see that she is a better match for President Li than Cheng Qian. She is good at dealing with people, has a good career, and has the looks. Most importantly, over the past four years, she has accompanied President Li to banquets of all sizes and has been a great help in his career. Compared to Cheng Qian's petty nature, Xiaoyan is far superior."
Cheng Zhifei drank early in the morning. He sighed, "Xiaoyan's fortune is about to change. Before, because they hadn't divorced, Xiaoyan had to endure the grievances. Now that they're divorced, Xiaoyan can enter and leave the Li family openly. I believe it won't be long before their happy news spreads."
Mother Cheng suddenly remembered something and immediately said with a smile, "A few days ago, I was strolling around the mall and met Madam Li. She gave me a scarf on the spot. It wasn't cheap, it cost 180,000 yuan. How could I bear to part with it? But she just said it lightly, and when I said no, she got anxious."
When the old lady heard this, she seemed to have something good to say: "Mrs. Li gave you a scarf. I was invited to a dinner a while ago. Mrs. Li was the host. She used to be quite aloof, relying on the Li family's leading position in the business world. When we talked to her, she was also indifferent. But that day, she kept holding my hand and asked me to tell her about Xiaoyan. So I started from Xiaoyan's childhood."
Cheng Zhifei felt proud when he saw that the two female heads of the family were being taken care of by the Li family.
I hope Li Zhinan can double his investment in the next quarter.
If Li Zhinan becomes his son-in-law, his business empire will not be limited to medicine. He has already thought about entering the real estate, physics, and the AI technology that has been very popular recently.
Thinking of this, Cheng Zhifei laughed out loud.
Li Group!
Cheng Yan's cousin, Cheng Guoren, has been appointed as the deputy manager of the business department due to his outstanding abilities.
During working hours, Cheng Guoren openly criticized his immediate superior in the office.
The reason was that a project was progressing too slowly, and his boss urged him a few times, but Cheng Guoren retorted impatiently.
"Heh, do you know who I am? Cheng Yan's uncle. Do you know what the relationship between Cheng Yan and Mr. Li is?"
"I believe everyone present should know that my niece is Mr. Li's sweetheart. Mr. Li is now divorced. I don't need to explain who is the most suitable candidate for Mrs. Li."
The general manager of the business department had a gloomy face. He certainly knew the pros and cons of this matter and had tolerated Cheng Guoren for a long time. He had been using this matter to provoke him. Now the news that President Li was getting a divorce for Cheng Yan had spread throughout the company.
The general manager also realized that he might not have the opportunity to develop here, so he just started cursing.
"Cheng Guoren, what are you so proud of? Your niece is a recognized third party, and you are the only one who is showing off your power. In fact, we all know that it was she who destroyed Mr. Li's marriage. Bah, shameless! Times have really changed. The third party is even more arrogant than the original wife."
"What are you talking about? Apologize to me now." Cheng Guoren immediately stretched out his hand and pointed at the other person's face arrogantly, as if to say, "If you don't apologize, I'm going to slap you."
"Apologize? Bah! Shameless is shameless. If you have the guts, ask your niece to fire me. If not, just do your job today. If you dare to bully others again next time, even if I lose my job, I will let everyone in the world know that you are barking so fiercely because of your niece's shamelessness."
"Damn it, if I don't deal with you today, my surname is not Cheng." Cheng Guoren was furious. Without saying a word, he rushed over and started fighting with the other party.
The scene was chaotic for a while, with some people screaming and others trying to stop the fight.
At this moment, Li Zhinan and Wang Rui happened to be walking towards the elevator entrance, and someone immediately stepped forward to report the matter.
"A fight broke out?" Wang Rui's face changed. "What's the fight about?"
The other party stammered and looked at Li Zhinan with a cold face, not daring to say a word.
Li Zhinan was already in a bad mood, as his ex-wife had just cheated on him.
He strode into the first area of the business department and saw a scuffle inside, with blood already visible.
"Stop!" Li Zhinan shouted in a deep voice.
The two men who were fighting each other were shocked and immediately let go of each other, each pulling at his clothes in a mess.
"Go to the conference room and explain." Li Zhinan gave the order expressionlessly.
Outside the meeting room, Cheng Guoren still had a mean look on his face, staring at his boss with a sneer, as if saying to him, "Just wait for your punishment. Get out of here. What qualifications do you have to talk to me?"
The general manager hung his head, regretting his impulsiveness. He was in middle age, with elderly parents and children to support, a mortgage and a car loan to pay. He really didn't want to lose such a high-paying job.
He was also thinking about whether he should give in and give up the position of general manager to Cheng Guoren, hoping to be demoted to keep his job.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense and heavy.
Wang Rui looked at the two men who were beaten black and blue, and his expression was not very good.
Li Zhinan, with his elegant and handsome figure, sat leaning on the main seat, looking at the two of them expressionlessly.
Wang Rui handed each person a piece of paper and said, "Wipe it off. You're already an adult, and it's so undignified. So many colleagues are watching you."
Li Zhinan asked coldly, "Haven't you read the company's third rule?"
Cheng Guoren, relying on Cheng Yan's close relationship with Li Zhinan, pointed at the general manager and said, "He's the one who's so aggressive and always picks on my projects. I was forced into no choice today..."
The general manager was about to admit defeat, but when he saw Cheng Guoren wrongly accusing him, he immediately retorted: "It's obviously you who neglected your work. There has been no progress on a project for three months."
Cheng Guoren's face darkened and he was about to explode.
Li Zhinan interrupted him: "Wang Rui, what do you say?"
Wang Rui's eyes flickered. As the boss's most capable confidant, he knew everything that happened in the company.
"Deputy Manager Cheng, you were indeed at fault in this matter." Wang Rui calculated in his mind that even though he was Cheng Yan's cousin, he would not gain any benefit today.
"Assistant Wang, I..." Cheng Guoren's face turned red with anxiety. He wanted to use his eyes to remind Wang Rui that his last name was Cheng.
However, Wang Rui said coldly: "I have been keeping an eye on the project you are working on. You have indeed neglected your duties."
The general manager's expression relaxed and he glanced at Li Zhinan's face in disbelief.
Cheng Guoren has always relied on his relationship with Cheng Yan, and few people in the company dare to offend him.
Is it getting light today?
"Mr. Li, I have been a little busy with family matters recently, and my health has not been very good. Please give me another chance, Mr. Li. I will definitely correct it." Cheng Guoren immediately bent down and pleaded with a smile.
Li Zhinan glanced at him coldly: "Did you just hit your boss because of work?"
Cheng Guoren faced the young man in front of him and felt a chill on his back.
"No, no, no, it's just a misunderstanding." Cheng Guoren sensed some unease. He quickly stood up, turned his head and smiled at the general manager, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry. I was impulsive just now."
"You hit people just because you're impulsive? Aren't you relying on the relationship between your niece and President Li? Even if what you just said is true, Cheng Yan wants to be the president's wife, if you want to rely on this relationship to get a job, you have to have the ability to climb up." The general manager was beaten more severely, and at the moment, he was very angry.
"What did you say?" Li Zhinan's voice seemed to come from the underworld, icy and bone-chilling.
Cheng Guoren glared at Mr. Li angrily: "When did I ever say such big words? Don't accuse me wrongly."
"More than 20 colleagues heard what happened just now. Who is wronging you?" Mr. Li said angrily.
Li Zhinan narrowed his cold eyes and stared at Cheng Guoren: "Did you say that?"
Cheng Guoren was frightened and his face turned pale, but he still smiled and said, "Boss Li, what I said is all true. Don't stare at me like that. I will correct my mistakes in the future and won't use Xiaoyan's relationship again..."
"From now on, you are fired." Li Zhinan stood up and spoke expressionlessly.
"What?" Cheng Guoren was in disbelief. He hurried forward to ask for clarification, but Wang Rui suddenly flashed over and stopped him from getting any closer to Li Zhinan: "Cheng Guoren, pack your things and go home."
"No...Assistant Wang, how could President Li fire me? What did I do wrong?" Cheng Guoren thought that he had just said a few truths, but he didn't expect that he would be fired.
Mr. Li next to him laughed sinisterly, "Cheng Guoren, are you getting angry? Spreading rumors about Mr. Li is already a capital crime."
Wang Rui said to Mr. Li, "If you spread the word, you will have to leave today."
Mr. Li immediately panicked and shook his hands: "No, no, no, I dare not. I am only focused on my work."
Mr. Li quickly fled. Cheng Guoren was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He grabbed Wang Rui and said, "Assistant Wang, please ask Mr. Li for a favor. Don't fire me. I really like working here. I will accept your favor."
Wang Rui pushed his arm away indifferently: "Sorry, I can't help you."
Cheng Guoren soon received a call from the Human Resources Department, asking him to leave before 10 o'clock.
Cheng Guoren was furious. He never thought that he would lose his promising job just by saying a few words.
Cheng Guoren called Cheng Zhifei immediately.
When Cheng Zhifei received the call, he had a nonchalant expression: "Don't worry, I'll let Xiaoyan talk to you about it. It's not a big deal."
When Cheng Guoren heard this, he immediately felt that there was hope for resuming work, so in the evening, he invited everyone to dinner. Cheng Zhifei came and Cheng Yan also came.
