Chapter 1025
Someone Personally Sent You Away
Lu Yan looked at Su Jingren coldly and said, "Your face? Of course I would give you some face when you were the vice chairman, but you won't be for long!"
Su Jingren was enraged by Lu Yan's words and looked at Lu Yan, saying, "What do you mean by that?"
Lu Yan didn't even bother to look at him, and said, "President Su, are you unable to understand human language? It's just the literal meaning, what else could it mean?"
Su Jingren was furious when he saw Lu Yan looking at him with such an arrogant attitude. Since Lu Yan didn't appreciate the face he was giving him, he shouldn't blame him for being impolite. He said to Lu Yan, "I only gave you face because you are the chairman, and I treated you with utmost respect and courtesy. But you speak to me like this, so don't blame me for being impolite. You can decide whether Li Meijia, a low-level employee, stays or goes, but as the vice chairman of the company, you certainly don't have the authority to fire me directly. Don't try to intimidate me!"
At this point, the high-ranking leaders who were on Su Jingren's side saw that Su Jingren and Lu Yan had already put on a show of frankness. In order to show their determination, they also stood on Su Jingren's side, spoke well of him, and opposed Lu Yan.
Lu Yan also had people defending him, but it seemed that there were fewer people on Lu Yan's side than on Su Jingren's side.
This is the biggest dilemma facing Lu Yan, the newly appointed leader: because of his young age and the fact that he doesn't usually put on airs, he is perceived as someone incapable of managing the company.
Therefore, on his first day in office, Lu Yan must make an example of someone to scare others, letting people know his swift and decisive methods. This will deter those in the company who often resort to crooked means, and also establish his own authority.
Lu Yan looked at the angry Su Jingren and said with a smile, "I suppose President Su has long been tired of pretending to be so respectful to me! Now you're finally showing your true colors?"
Su Jingren finally spoke his mind, saying, "Although you are the chairman of the company, are you as familiar with the company's various businesses as I am? You are so young and have not been with the company for long. You simply cannot command the people below you. They will not listen to you!"
Lu Yan said, "So you mean everyone will listen to you, not me?"
Su Jingren replied without hesitation, "You're absolutely right. That's exactly what I meant. Without me, your work would be very difficult to carry out, at least during the initial period after you took office!"
Lu Yan glanced at Su Jingren with disdain and said, "Oh, Su Jingren, I think you're overestimating yourself. I can still manage everything in the company perfectly without you, and I'll do it even better than when you're here!"
Su Jingren chuckled and said, "Impossible. Look at the people standing behind me. Aren't they all pillars of the company? If you fire me, they probably won't work for someone like you who has no future. That would be a huge blow to the company!"
Lu Yan said, "You don't need to threaten me like this. Let me tell you, such threats are completely useless to me. Someone as corrupt as you must have dirty hands among those who follow you. You can all leave the company together!"
Upon hearing Lu Yan's words, Su Jingren looked at him with an arrogant air and said to Lu Yan, "First of all, let me make it clear that you shouldn't accuse someone of corruption without evidence. Secondly, the hurtful words you said to us, the company's veterans, today completely show that you don't respect us. Since you don't welcome us like this, it's not impossible for us to leave!"
Honestly, the company has already lost two senior leaders. Given the current situation, do you think you, Lu Yan, a young person who hasn't been with the company long, can smoothly navigate these initial challenges without us veterans? To be frank, it's not that we can't do without you, but rather that you can't do without us. If you said a few kind words to us now, we might stay and help you through this difficult period.
But if you insist on slandering us like this, then we won't give you that face! Since things have already been laid bare, Su Jingren simply spoke his mind.
Lu Yan said, "I've already said it before, don't take yourself too seriously. The earth will keep turning no matter who's gone!"
Su Jingren said, "Alright, I've analyzed the pros and cons for you. If you insist on being so stubborn, then we really won't do it!"
Those who followed Su Jingren, upon hearing his words, echoed him, saying, "We're quitting..."
After he finished speaking, Su Jingren took the lead in standing up from his seat, preparing to leave, and the others followed suit.
At this moment, Lu Yan spoke up, "If you leave like this, it would seem like I, Lu Yan, am not giving you enough face. After all, you are veterans of the company, so we should at least have some ceremony. Someone will personally see you off in a bit!"
After hearing Lu Yan's words, Su Jingren said to Lu Yan, "That's more like it. You've got some conscience after all!"
As soon as Su Jingren finished speaking, the conference room door was pushed open, and several law enforcement officers walked in, led by the financial director.
Everyone in the meeting room was quick-witted upon seeing this scene.
At this moment, Lu Yan spoke up to Su Jingren, saying, "These law enforcement officers are here to take you away!"
Su Jingren immediately understood Lu Yan's meaning. He looked at Lu Yan with an angry expression and said, "Lu Yan, you sent people to arrest me without any evidence. This is illegal!"
It is said that a new broom sweeps clean, and Lu Yan had already launched a major investigation into the company a few days after the appointment document was issued. He had already made some progress on the company's accounts. At first, Lu Yan was going to give them a simple warning, but after seeing Su Jingren and his daughter's arrogant attitude last night, Lu Yan changed his mind.
Last night, we sent people to thoroughly investigate Su Jingren and the company's accounts overnight. We found enough evidence to hand over to the relevant law enforcement agencies. So this morning, during the meeting, Lu Yan used the matter of Su Jingren privately getting Li Meijia hired by the company as a starting point to discuss the issue.
Someone as arrogant as Su Jingren, no matter how capable, will be a ticking time bomb if left in the company sooner or later. It's better to get rid of him sooner rather than later! (End of Chapter)
