Chapter 144 Lin Fan's Dismissal
"What's wrong, Ruowei?"
Lin Fan asked without turning his head. He had already taken precautions and set up call forwarding to Gao Xuan.
“没，没事——”
Su Ruowei sat on the bed, trying to catch her breath and calm herself down.
Making harassing phone calls to the president of Shancheng Group is incredibly audacious.
It's all Lin Fan's fault for joking so seriously!
Su Ruowei was a little angry after thinking about it, so she raised her jade foot and kicked Lin Fan in the butt.
"Ouch—"
Lin Fan was almost kicked off the bed.
"What's wrong, Ruowei? Why did you suddenly kick me?" Lin Fan asked, feeling wronged.
"It's nothing, I'm just doing some exercise!" Su Ruowei pouted, her cheeks puffed out in annoyance. "Go to sleep!"
"Alright," Lin Fan replied softly, slowly moving his body back from the bedside.
Su Ruowei sighed. Was it all just an illusion this past month? It seems everything really was a coincidence.
The next day, Lin Fan and Su Ruowei took Xiao Xinran to school early in the morning, and then went to the Su family's company headquarters.
The Su family's parent company is called Shancheng Jianqiang Engineering Co., Ltd., named after the head of the family, which is a tradition of the Su family.
When the old man was alive, the company was called "Zhiyong," which was named after his name, Su Zhiyong.
When the old lady Fang Minjun was alive, the company was called "Minjun". Jianqiang was naturally changed when Su Jianqiang was the head of the family, although it was only used for a few days.
Now that Su Ruowei is the head of the family, the company has been renamed Ruowei Engineering.
The headquarters is not located in a top-tier area of the city, but it is much better than the Golden Street area, and the rent is naturally much higher.
The head office's employees are quite special; they are all from collateral branches of the Su family.
Upon entering the company's conference room, Su Ruowei went straight to the boss's seat, sat down, and glanced around.
Lin Fan sat down next to Su Ruowei and looked at the group of Su family members. Their faces, which were originally full of arrogance, were now devoid of their former glory. Who could have imagined that Su Ruowei, whom they looked down on the most, would now sit in the position of family head?
"Snapped--"
Su Ruowei slammed her hand on the table: "From today onwards, anyone who dares to embezzle a single penny of company money will be fired on the spot!"
"We don't support idlers! We conduct monthly assessments! 20% of the outstanding talents will be selected and rewarded, while the 10% who lag behind will be given a two-month observation period. If they still don't perform well after two months, they will be dismissed!"
"Did you hear that clearly?"
Everyone in the room was startled, including Lin Fan.
After Su Ruowei became the head of the family, she seemed like a completely different person.
Su Ruowei looked at the completely silent room below and angrily said, "Did you all hear me clearly?!"
"Listen carefully!" Lin Fan shouted.
"Hahaha--"
A burst of laughter erupted as the collateral branches of the Su family watched Su Ruowei and Lin Fan make fools of themselves.
Who are these two trying to scare by acting in concert?
"Don't you guys respect me as your boss?!" Su Ruowei was furious, her pretty face turning red.
"You really think you're something special! You've broken the rules set by the old man, this is outrageous!" a member of a collateral branch said. "Even when the old lady was alive, she didn't dare to change the rules! Are you an exception?"
This member of the collateral branch is named Su Caijun. He is the eldest grandson of the old man Su Zhiyong's brother and can be considered a representative figure of the collateral branch of the Su family. He has a lot of say in the collateral branch.
Upon hearing Su Caijun's words, the collateral branches of the Su family echoed his sentiments:
"That's right, these are the rules set by the old man, you can't break them!"
“That’s right, it’s been like this for decades. It’s because of this rule that our Su family has been able to unite.”
"If you don't want to work here, you can all leave!" Su Ruowei said sternly, her face hardening. "The Su family aims to become a first-class family, yet we're still doing third-rate things! Without reform, the company will never grow stronger!"
"Fine! Let's go, and see what you do then! Go be your lone commander!" shouted a junior member of the collateral branch.
After shouting, the junior stood up and looked at the crowd, thinking he could command a large following.
Unexpectedly, everyone else lowered their heads and ignored them.
"Get out!" Su Ruowei said angrily.
Su Ruowei gave a furious scolding, and the junior had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
At the same time, Su Ruowei's company also arrived at the conference room.
The Su family now only has one project left in the southern business district, so there is no need for the Golden Street Company to exist.
Su Zhengshuang's company is now entirely reliant on Su Yulin's live streams for income, and its employees are all hospitalized, making the company practically defunct.
Zhang Ting and her group were full of vigor, and their arrival undoubtedly gave the collateral relatives a taste of their own medicine.
Everyone shut up, and Su Caijun also became mute.
"I'll repeat myself! Anyone who embezzles public funds will be fired! 10% of the underperforming staff will be eliminated every month!" Su Ruowei shouted. "Did you understand?"
"Understood!" Su Ruowei's company employee responded loudly.
Su Ruowei looked at the group of people from the collateral branches and asked, "And you?"
"Listen carefully—"
The members of the collateral branches spoke listlessly.
"Very well, the company doesn't tolerate idlers. If I haven't done my job well, you are welcome to impeach me at any time!"
Su Ruowei exuded an air of authority without being angry, resembling a CEO.
The members of the collateral branches looked at each other, worried about the future. They knew Su Ruowei's abilities; she worked like a madwoman.
But they were all so used to slacking off that they had almost completely forgotten about their actual work.
There's nowhere to switch jobs. No company wants members of the Su family anymore, and even if they did, you can't get in based on your own abilities.
"The company doesn't employ idle people, right?"
Su Caijun suddenly spoke up: "As everyone knows, the Su family is currently at a critical juncture of life and death. I personally am very, very willing to support President Su's work!"
"But in such a difficult time, wouldn't being Mr. Su's bodyguard be considered an easy job?"
The collateral relatives were secretly delighted. Although they couldn't escape their fate of being controlled, it was really satisfying to vent their anger!
"Yes! We all support your work, Mr. Su, but at a time like this, the bodyguard position isn't necessary!"
"If President Su is afraid of danger, we can all work as bodyguards."
"We should spend our money wisely!"
Immediately, the crowd began to discuss the matter, venting all their anger towards Su Ruowei on Lin Fan.
Su Ruowei looked at Lin Fan helplessly, instantly reverting to her original form, transforming from a domineering CEO back into a pampered little wife.
Lin Fan grasped Su Ruowei's hand: "Don't be afraid, I will always support you."
"But—" Su Ruowei bit her lip, caught in a dilemma.
Lin Fan didn't give Su Ruowei a chance to say anything more, and stood up directly, shouting, "I resign! I hope you won't forget what you said today! You must sincerely support President Su!"
"I can't forget it! You good-for-nothing son-in-law, get out of here. This isn't a place for you to freeload off your salary."
"That's right, our company doesn't employ idle people!"
A group of shady, petty people who have gained power.
Su Ruowei lowered her head. She had even considered asking Lin Fan to stay without pay. She knew Lin Fan was not short of money, and she just wanted him to stay by her side.
But then I thought, wouldn't that be too selfish?
She knew that Lin Fan might have his own business, and she also knew that Lin Fan's assets far exceeded hers, and might even surpass the Su family's assets.
But she just wanted Lin Fan by her side, and after being inseparable for the past month, she had fallen deeply in love with him.
"Ruowei, I'm at your service!" Lin Fan said to Su Ruowei with a smile.
Su Ruowei gently raised her head; those words gave her strength again.
