Sun Wei's slightly threatening tone startled everyone.
Caiying was already on the brink of collapse, and if Sun Wei, the product director, were to leave the company, Caiying Beauty would be practically finished!
However, no one really believed Sun Wei would actually leave the company.
After all, Sun Wei had a long tenure at the company and exceptional skills. This new president surely wouldn't let such a talented individual leave.
Sun Wei wouldn't have trouble finding a new job, but Caiying was desperately short on talent.
Even if the new president wanted to assert her authority, she wouldn't do so at Sun Wei's expense!
Yet, just as everyone was thinking this, Su Qianmo casually brushed a strand of hair from her cheek, her gaze cold as she spoke sternly: "In that case, I wish Director Sun all the best in his future endeavors after leaving Caiying."
With these words, the room erupted in chaos!
"What? Is President Su really letting Director Sun go?"
"Come on, she must be joking, right? President Su is being too stubborn!"
"If Director Sun leaves, Caiying will lose its soul!"
"It's over, Caiying definitely won't last long now!"
Everyone could tell that Sun Wei didn't actually want to leave the company, but was merely threatening Su Qianmo.
However, Su Qianmo's uncompromising words were forcing Sun Wei to leave.
This made everyone feel that Su Qianmo was going too far. After all, Sun Wei was a major contributor to Caiying's success. How could she just let him go like this?
Hearing the murmurs around her, Su Qianmo continued unfazed: "Director Sun, please proceed to the HR department to process your resignation immediately."
"You!" Sun Wei froze, unsure of what to do.
The man who usually had the final say in the company was now being thrown out like garbage by this new president?!
"Slam!"
Sun Wei suddenly stood up, glaring at Su Qianmo: "Fine, I'm leaving. I can't wait to see how far Caiying will fall without me!"
With that, he turned and strode towards the conference room door, kicking it open and walking out without looking back.
In the conference room, the discussions continued.
"Director Sun really left!"
"President Su is going too far. On her first day, she's already kicking Director Sun out?"
"Director Sun has plenty of options outside Caiying, but Caiying without Director Sun... sigh."
"Have you said enough?" Su Qianmo's gaze swept across the room, sharp as a blade.
Seeing this, everyone immediately fell silent, though they were still dissatisfied in their hearts.
They only saw Su Qianmo's ruthless side, but hadn't yet seen her demonstrate her abilities. Naturally, they didn't respect her.
A trace of anger appeared on Su Qianmo's cold, beautiful face. She surveyed the room once more and said, "If you're unhappy with my decision, you're welcome to resign at any time."
"Submit your resignation, and I'll approve it on the spot."
Her eyes narrowed as she continued, "If you're not resigning, then do as I say!"
The employees exchanged glances, frowning and pursing their lips.
Fine, they thought, we won't say anything. The company won't last long anyway, might as well stick around as long as we can.
......
Soon, the meeting ended.
Su Qianmo, carrying a stack of documents, entered what used to be Wang Youcai's office.
However, everything in the room had been replaced with new items.
Upon closer inspection, the layout bore a striking resemblance to Su Qianmo's office as described in the novel.
"Meeting over?" Gu Chenan, who had been sitting on the sofa, stood up to greet Su Qianmo as she entered.
"Mm-hmm." Su Qianmo nodded, placing the documents on the desk. Like a little girl complaining, she said with a hint of grievance, "These employees are really terrible. They were actually gossiping while I was speaking."
Gu Chenan smiled, "I heard you fired the product department director?"
"I didn't fire him," Su Qianmo shook her head. "He was too proud to work under me as president, so he voluntarily resigned."
"Oh, voluntary resignation means no compensation. We've hit the jackpot!" Gu Chenan laughed.
......
In the product department.
"Director Sun, are you really leaving Caiying?"
"Director Sun, if you leave, Caiying won't have any chance of recovery!"
Sun Wei, who had left the conference room, was packing his personal belongings into a cardboard box.
But as he listened to the pleas around him, he grew increasingly irritated.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Sun Wei forcefully set the box down on the table and turned around, fuming, "I was just saying that! Who would have thought that President Su would actually make me leave!"
"I, Sun Wei, may not have made groundbreaking achievements for the company, but I've certainly put in my fair share of hard work. For President Su to treat me like this is simply outrageous!"
"Exactly! This new president is completely absurd. First, she announces the discontinuation of all products except for face masks, and then she forces Director Sun to leave the company. What kind of brainless moves are these?"
"Director Sun, you're a rare talent. If Caiying doesn't want you, there are plenty of places that do."
The people around him chimed in.
Hearing these words, Sun Wei smiled smugly.
"Indeed, I, Sun Wei, may not be the best at everything, but my business acumen is unparalleled in the industry. I'll call Zhenhua's general manager right now. Once I join Zhenhua, you can all come with me. I'd like to see how President Su handles that!"
"Alright, no problem!" everyone nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, the entire Caiying staff had learned about Su Qianmo's announcements in the meeting and Sun Wei's departure.
Employees from various departments gathered to discuss the situation.
"No way, what is this new president doing? Saying she'll make Caiying the best beauty company? Is she joking?"
"Hah, President Su's got lofty ambitions. Not only did she announce the discontinuation of all products except for moisturizing face masks, but she also drove Director Sun from the product department out of the company."
"Seriously? Is Director Sun really leaving?"
"Of course. Director Sun isn't like us. He can survive anywhere. Why would he stay in this sinking ship called Caiying?"
"Exactly. The company was already on the verge of bankruptcy. Instead of trying to keep Director Sun, this President Su practically forced him to resign."
"Hey, have you guys considered why President Su might be doing this? Could she have her own plans?"
"Plans? It's obvious she's just using Director Sun to establish her authority. But she picked the wrong target. With Director Sun gone, Caiying has no hope left."
"Whatever. This company was already doomed. President Su's actions are just speeding up Caiying's bankruptcy."
"To be honest, this President Su is really good-looking. I wonder if she has a boyfriend." Someone interjected with a lecherous expression, completely off-topic.
Everyone immediately frowned at him.
"Dream on. Let's not even mention anything else. The fact that she could buy our company shows her financial strength."
"If you're thinking of being a kept man, you should look in the mirror first. President Su wouldn't choose you even if she'd choose me!"
As the various departments discussed today's meeting, the conversation would occasionally drift to Su Qianmo's looks and figure.
It seemed that compared to Su Qianmo's abilities, Caiying's employees were more interested in her appearance and body.
If Caiying's situation continued to deteriorate in the coming days, Su Qianmo might earn the title of "trophy president."
But that would never happen.
