42 The New Director
Not only did Cheng Lang use that building to make an example out of others, but he also used this opportunity to revamp the company’s management. Xing Shu had always known that Cheng Lang was formidable, but this incident succinctly showed her just how formidable he was. Formidability aside, Cheng Lang’s ability to put himself in the shoes of others and view things through the lens of ordinary employees was even more significant. No wonder he had a god-like moniker.
Xing Shu’s phone suddenly rang—President Chen from Lirong Corporation. The big shuffle in Cheng Corporation Group had caused quite a stir, so it was natural that President Chen had heard about it. He asked joyously, “Miss Xing Shu, is congratulations in order?”
Cheng Xingyang had been removed as the Director. Although nobody in M&A knew who the new director would be, President Chen—who had been privy to the news previously—was eager to show his merriment at the first chance.
Xing Shu smiled. “I’ll sign the contract officially with you on Monday.”
President Chen replied, “I look forward to it.”
Xing Shu heaved a sigh of relief after she ended the call. Cheng Gang and Cheng Xingyang had their hands full at the moment and would not have time to bother with her. It would be a long while before they would find trouble with her.
…
Dressed in a black power suit, Xing Shu found the entire Cheng Corporation Group building enveloped in a tense atmosphere when she turned up for work on Monday. The memo was very clear—a large portion of the employees would be dismissed.
M&A was shrouded in the tense atmosphere too, especially Hu Jie who had just been promoted to Manager a few days ago. She felt uneasy.
“Who do you think the new Director is this time? Cheng Xingyang was removed despite his solid background. The new Director’s background must be even more solid, right?”
“I heard that a few staff from Marketing left today. Those senior management must be tucking their tails between their legs. Whoever became the Director during this time might be someone handpicked by President Cheng.”
Handpicked by President Cheng? Hu Jie’s eyes filled with disdain at hearing this. “Stop flattering the new Director. Do you think Cheng Xingyang is so easy to get rid of? He’s President Cheng’s nephew. No matter how solid the new Director’s background is, can he beat a member of the Cheng family? Cheng Xingyang will probably just be suspended for a few days and be back soon.”
