Supremely Talented Tyrant

"What's up? Do I have to ask you about this? You've only been at the company for a few days, and you've already managed to offend several departments. Did you know they're joining forces to impeach you?"

Shu Ya was very angry, this damned guy, always causing trouble for her.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Come on, what's the big deal? Just brush them off with a few words, and everything will be fine, right? They wouldn't dare to contradict you, would they?"

Hao Jian didn't understand why Shu Ya was making such a big fuss. It wasn't the first time, after all. Was it really necessary?

"You make it sound so simple, but this time Su Qin and her lover, the major shareholder, are pressuring me to fire you, or they'll withdraw their investment immediately! The company is about to go public, and if he pulls out now, all our previous efforts will have been in vain."

"Damn, that means Su Qin must be really good in bed to make the major shareholder do so much for her," Hao Jian said, grinning cheekily.

"Are you still in the mood to joke? Do you realize that the major shareholder has specially called a meeting about this tomorrow? If I can't persuade them, I'll have no choice but to fire you," Shu Ya said angrily.

"Then fire me, if they won't keep me here, there are other places that will."

Hao Jian shrugged his shoulders, appearing unconcerned. It was just a job, after all; if he lost it, he would just find another.

"But if you're not at the company, wouldn't our plans fall apart?"

"How could that be? I can just peacefully stay at home as a kept man. If anyone asks, you can just say you keep me around because you're infatuated with my good looks," Hao Jian said unashamedly, chuckling.

Shu Ya gritted her teeth and said, "Keep dreaming. If you get fired, I'll send you to work as a laborer in the branch office!"

"Damn, is that harsh?" Hao Jian was astounded, as that would mean doing hard labor.

"You'd better pray," she said. Explore new worlds at empire

Shu Ya snorted and returned to her room, then slammed the door with a loud 'bang'.

"This damn guy, I'm so worried about him, but he's still in the mood to joke? If he gets fired, he deserves it!"

Back in the living room, Hao Jian touched his nose and then picked up his phone, smirking ominously, "Thinking of firing me? Easier said than done."

"Hello, it's me. I need a favor tomorrow."

...

The next day, Hao Jian and Shu Ya went to work together. Hao Jian looked as carefree as ever, but Shu Ya appeared deeply distracted.

Seeing this, Hao Jian was somewhat moved; he knew she was worried about keeping his job.

As soon as Hao Jian drove into the parking lot, Xiao Qiang quickly approached and knocked on Shu Ya's car window:

"President, they're all waiting for you in the conference room."

"Are they that eager?" Shu Ya scoffed, then turned to look at Hao Jian beside her, falling back into confusion.

"Don't worry, you go up first. I'll be there in a bit," Hao Jian said with a smile, signaling it was no big deal.

Shu Ya nodded her head slightly, then pushed open the car door and stepped out.

Su Qin's lover, named Zhou Zixiong, was the company's second largest shareholder. Like most entrepreneurs, he sported a protruding belly and a bald head, dressed in a suit, yet still managed to look respectable.

At that moment, Zhou Zixiong and Su Qin sat together, their expressions full of impatience, with Zhou Zixiong even holding a cigar in his mouth, looking quite dashing but also very arrogant.

When Shu Ya entered and saw Zhou Zixiong like this, she immediately frowned.

It was a strict rule that no smoking was allowed in the meeting room. Zhou Zixiong must have been aware of this, and yet he chose to ignore it, clearly intending to challenge her authority.

Shu Ya sat in the chairman's seat and smiled, "To call a high-level meeting just over a driver seems a bit too much, doesn't it?"

Zhou Zixiong flicked the ash from his cigar and chuckled sinisterly, "Hehe… it indeed seems too much, but only if this driver hadn't significantly disrupted the internal operations of the company. Otherwise, it's a different matter entirely."

"Yes, President! Vice Chairman Zhou has a point. Hao Jian has been loafing around the company every day, harassing female colleagues and hooking up with male colleagues, turning our company into a mess. Such a man is a scourge; if we let him continue to stay in the company, I'm afraid the whole company will be in chaos," Su Qin hurriedly chimed in.

"I agree, my security department has been thrown into chaos by him already. Those guards no longer listen to my commands," Foreman Liang said bitterly.

"I also support firing him. Last time, Hao Jian even blocked me from accessing the warehouse and was extremely arrogant about it," Sun Minghui also spoke up.

These three were the most eager to see Hao Jian ousted from the company because all three had suffered under him and could do nothing about it.

They had always been the ones bullying others, but ever since Hao Jian had arrived, they had only been bullied. Moreover, since Shu Ya did not discipline him, they had no choice but to resort to this strategy.

Zhou Zixiong was there today to support Su Qin. Who in the company didn't know that Su Qin was his woman? A mere driver had bullied his woman, and he could not just let that stand.

Shu Ya's brow furrowed deeply, realizing that the situation was indeed very serious.

"Shu Ya, make a decision. He's just a driver. Firing him won't make any difference to our company," Zhou Zixiong pressed directly.

"You said it yourself, he's just a driver. Then why must you make things difficult for him?" Shu Ya retorted with a cold laugh, watching Zhou Zixiong.

"Hey, it's not just me who's making things difficult for him. You must have heard what the three directors just said. There's no need to mention what sort of person that kid is. How can we keep such a morally deficient employee in the company?"

Zhou Zixiong played the old fox, skillfully employing Tai Chi to shift the responsibility onto Su Qin and the others.

Shu Ya silently cursed Zhou Zixiong for his cunning, thinking that if he hadn't called this meeting, how much trouble could these directors really have stirred up?

"He's my relative. Could you give him some face?" Shu Ya asked sternly.

The shareholders looked at each other, feeling that this matter was trivial and decided to give Shu Ya the face she requested. After all, it was just a driver, and it wouldn't really impact the company significantly.

However, Zhou Zixiong wasn't ready to let Hao Jian off the hook and said slowly:

"Shu Ya, you can't say it like that. I think you understand the irritation caused by a grain of sand in a shoe. Although it may not affect the fundamentals, it will ultimately make people uncomfortable. Moreover, a small issue can easily grow into a bigger one! What if someone sees this driver acting so carelessly and decides to imitate him without facing any repercussions?

What if someone accuses you of favoritism? Wouldn't your authority as the president be undermined?"

Hearing this, the shareholders felt it made sense and began nodding their heads in agreement.
