"Keep working?"
"Mr. Gu, this..."
Wang Ming was stunned by Gu Chenan's words.
He wasn't surprised that Gu Chenan would speak up for him, but rather that Gu Chenan was just Su Qianmo's boyfriend - what right did he have to say such things?
Miss Su has already fired me, how could I stay at the company just because of your word?
That's impossible, right?
Wang Ming looked confusedly between Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo, unsure of what to do.
Su Qianmo's face remained dark. She was determined to fire Wang Ming.
These people had repeatedly invaded her privacy, and even though their intentions might have been good, this alone was enough reason to fire them.
Moreover, Su Qianmo had already warned them twice not to pry into Gu Chenan's private life, but these people not only didn't stop but became even more excessive by resorting to stalking.
Therefore, Su Qianmo had to make an example of someone to warn the others.
But Gu Chenan knew nothing about all this.
He had no idea that these employees had already approached Su Qianmo twice about these matters before this incident. He even thought that employees caring about Su Qianmo's welfare showed their loyalty.
At this moment, Gu Chenan suddenly felt Su Qianmo gently poking his back.
He turned around with a smile and said, "These employees are just concerned about you. Give them a chance."
Su Qianmo frowned and whispered, "By concern, do you mean how they keep focusing on our private lives instead of their work, despite my repeated warnings?"
Hearing this, Gu Chenan was stunned.
"This isn't the first time?"
Su Qianmo replied with displeasure, "They've approached me twice already. Each time I severely warned them, but they ignored it. Including this time, it's the third occurrence. If we don't fire such employees, similar incidents will continue endlessly."
"I understand."
Gu Chenan nodded.
If this had been the first time, Gu Chenan might have still considered it a show of loyalty, but Su Qianmo had already spoken to them several times, yet they showed no change.
How could this be called loyalty?
We pay you to work, not to constantly monitor your boss's private life!
"I've changed my mind."
Gu Chenan turned around, his expression turning grim.
He nodded to the group before him and said, "All of you, go to HR tomorrow to process your resignation."
"What?"
"Why?"
Several people were shocked upon hearing this.
Even now, they hadn't realized what they had done wrong. If they didn't make an example of someone, as Su Qianmo said, such incidents would continue endlessly!
"You ask why?"
Gu Chenan frowned and said, "Are we paying you to obsess over my and Qianmo's private life every day? If you're so interested in fortune-telling, why don't you go study the I Ching?"
When Su Qianmo, as Caiying's CEO, had spoken to fire Wang Ming, he naturally had nothing to say, even though Gu Chenan had first said to let Wang Ming keep working before changing his mind.
However, Su Qianmo hadn't mentioned firing the others, so when they heard Gu Chenan's words, they all had the same thought.
Who the hell are you?
You're just Su's boyfriend. Su is Caiying's CEO. She hasn't said anything about firing us, so who are you to make such demands?
They completely ignored Gu Chenan's words, instead all looking at Su Qianmo, as if only her words mattered.
Seeing this, Gu Chenan smiled and repeated his previous statement.
"Everyone, didn't you hear what I said? You're all fired."
The group exchanged glances, and someone couldn't help but speak up: "Mr. Gu, we are Caiying's employees, and Miss Su is our CEO. Only her word counts regarding dismissals, not yours."
With these words, everyone seemed to gain confidence and started speaking up.
"That's right, you're just Miss Su's boyfriend, what right do you have to fire us?"
"Miss Su is Caiying's CEO, not you!"
"Heh."
Gu Chenan laughed playfully.
The group immediately turned to Su Qianmo and said, "Miss Su, we were rash in this matter. We definitely won't do anything like this again."
Seeing how they completely disregarded Gu Chenan, Su Qianmo's already displeased expression darkened further.
She narrowed her eyes, her usually charming gaze turning fierce.
"Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear what Mr. Gu said?"
Pointing at the group before her, Su Qianmo emphasized each word: "You! Are! All! Fired!"
Upon hearing this, their expressions changed dramatically, filled with disbelief.
Miss Su fired us just because of Mr. Gu's words?
How is this possible?
Has Mr. Gu somehow gotten control over Miss Su?
We're all longtime employees of Caiying!
"Miss Su, we know we were wrong, but you can't fire us just because of Mr. Gu's words!"
"Yes, Miss Su, we've been at Caiying for so long and have always been loyal. We didn't leave even when Caiying was struggling. You can't fire us like this!"
"Miss Su, please give us another chance!"
Hearing their pleas, Su Qianmo took a deep breath and said sternly, "I'm not the one firing you - Mr. Gu is. Get that straight!"
Huh?
Everyone was even more confused.
Mr. Gu fired us? What right does he have to fire us?
"But Miss Su, what authority does Mr. Gu have to fire us?"
"Yes, Miss Su, on what grounds can Mr. Gu fire us?"
"On what grounds?" Su Qianmo smiled before saying seriously, "On the grounds that Mr. Gu is Caiying's actual controlling shareholder. Is that ground enough for you?"
Upon hearing this, the group staggered as if struck by lightning.
Mr. Gu is the company's actual controlling shareholder?
That means Mr. Gu is Caiying's owner?!
How... how is this possible?!
Hasn't Mr. Gu always been just Miss Su's boyfriend?
Suddenly, everyone had another realization.
Could it be that Caiying had been Mr. Gu's business all along, and he had appointed his girlfriend, Su Qianmo, as the company's CEO!
Thinking of this, they felt the world spinning, their entire worldview crumbling.
"Mr... Mr. Gu."
They immediately turned to Gu Chenan with pleading looks: "Mr. Gu, we were blind. Please give us another chance."
"Heh."
Gu Chenan spread his hands and smiled, "Hasn't Miss Su already given you two chances? Yet you ignored her orders. Your dismissal is entirely your own doing."
"That's enough talk. Report to HR tomorrow."
Having said this, ignoring the group's shock, Gu Chenan put his arm around Su Qianmo and walked past them toward the deep end.
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
