I was a little agitated and spoke aloud, which made Leon Hua kinda disgusted.
“We are now here in the company, thus it’s not good of you to make a lot of noise like that.” He said in a cold voice.
Looking at his expression, it looked like he was blaming me for being unreasonable.
“Then tell me, why is Nan Lin here? She has an affair with you, everyone knows that, and now letting her work in the Hua Group is clearly humiliating me!”
“As I said, I didn’t know anything about this until yesterday, besides, she gets employed through the regular process, we can’t fire her without reasons, right?”Leon was indeed unhappy.
He was not happy, but it was nothing to compare to me.
“Someone must have arranged this to embarrass me! If you don’t fire her, lay off me. Let her work here and I’ll resign. I can resign from the board right now.” I slammed the document in my hand on the table.
“Come on, Nala Yao? A mere employee can threaten you? How could you resign just like that? Lanhai Technology just got better and you want to resign? would you be a little more broad-minded?”
I couldn’t help but sneer, “keeping your ex-flame around in work and asking me to be generous? Are you losing your brain? I stay and she leaves, or I’ll leave”
“If you fire her now, she will definitely announce this to the public, and then everyone will call you a small-minded person, which leads to a consequence they want.”
Even though it was not like persuading and what he said did make sense, I couldn’t stand that Nan worked in the Hua Group.
Leon frowned, “Calm down and think carefully, don’t you think that someone is using this to provoke our relationships? Now in this crucial time, you’d better not act impulsively.”
“I can’t stand this anyway. I’ll give you two days, and if you don’t fire her, I’ll leave!”
I didn’t wait for Leon’s reaction before I finished speaking and turned to leave. I didn’t want to listen to his advice, besides, he couldn’t persuade me either.
After calming down, I knew that Leon was right, this matter could be deliberately used by others to provoke the relationship between Leon and me. I was not a high-ranking executive in the group, but I managed Lanhai Technology, a company that held a very important position in the Hua Group, which was unacceptable to many people.
But even so, I couldn’t tolerate Nan coming in and out of the Hua Group openly. The affair of her and Leon had always been rumored. To others, it was like paramours living with couples. It was a coward that could condone this.
As the anger of mine, which made Leon be in a dilemma. He probably wouldn’t make me resign as the president of Lanhai Technology, as a result, he had to get rid of Nan from the company.
He was the vice president of the Hua Group, so it was naturally easy to fire an employee, but it was also risky if Nan didn’t relent, and It would be troublesome for she crying to the media that she was somehow fired. This matter would be the hottest news again, and at this time, any negative news would be detrimental to Leon.
If this was all arranged by someone, it at least could prove one thing that the upcoming retirement of Yaohui Hua was known by other people who were starting planning.
If that was the case, then who revealed it? There was only one person, and that was Yaohui. He not only told me that he would retire and try to designate a successor but also said it to someone else. As for whether he said it to Chenxing Hua or Xiang Feng, I had no idea.
Besides, why he revealed the information to several parties like this, I also didn’t understand whether it was to maintain the balance or to let the battle for a successor start early, only he himself knew.
After a while, I thought that I could not make things difficult for Leon at this time for my jealousy. It would be just as well if I couldn’t help him, but it would be unkind if I got him into trouble at this time because of me.
I decided to handle this myself.
…
Later, I asked Nan to meet me at a restaurant near the Hua Group.
Nan had a smug look and was subtly provocative. Being a woman, she naturally understood the distress and pressure her work in the Hua Group had caused me, and she felt she had won once.
I motioned for her to take a seat and handed her the tablet to order, “My treat, please feel free to order.”
She smiled even more smugly, “Why are you buying me a dinner?”
“I’m now an executive at the Hua Group and the wife of the vice president, so, naturally, I would invite an employee to dinner. Order the food please.” I said with a smile.
“Then I’ll make myself at home.” She took the tablet and started ordering.
Naturally, I didn’t care to eat with her, and I was looking for her to solve a problem. So I didn’t order, she was probably trying to piss me off so that she ordered a lot on purpose.
But that was okay, she could order whatever she wanted.
She finished her order and looked at me again with that slight look, “What do you want from me, exactly?”
I don’t beat around the bush with her and just state my intentions, “I want you to resign from the Hua Group.”
She got even smugger and stroked her bangs, “Why would I resign? I’m doing fine, I can handle that job.”
I laughed, “Do you have to ask such a question? I don’t like you working here, so you’re going to resign.”
“Sorry for you, ’cause you’re not my supervisor. And you’re in charge of Lanhai Technology, you can’t fire me.” She said smugly.
“It’s not about I can’t but I want to give you a chance to leave with dignity. No matter who your leader is, if I want him to fire you, do you think he would dare not listen to me? After all, I’m an executive in the Hua Group, and most importantly, I’m the daughter-in-law of the Hua family, so which middle management you think will fight against me? ” I asked her.
Her facial expression changed but she quickly returned to normal, “That’s not necessarily true.”
Her words gave away the message that she was indeed arranged to be here or she wouldn’t have said that.
“It’s definite.” I said coldly, “Whoever arranged for you to be here, I can definitely make you resign. I can use my connections in the group to replace all your colleagues around you, including your supervisor. They will then oppress you every day, and make you do all the heavy work and take all the responsibility, making you overwhelmed every day, How long you think that you will last?”
“You…”
“You know that with my position today, it would be easy for me to do all this. So I am now giving you a chance to leave with dignity, there is only one chance, take it or you will suffer the consequences.”
“Don’t you dare bully me too hard!” Nan’s face turned pale.
“I didn’t bully you, you were the one who first disgusted me. It is very good for you to operate your bridal shop, but why the hell you come to the group and take my place? There is no way. Even if I bully you, what can you do?”
