Zhou Dahong glared as he said, "You're firing me? I was sent by President Guu, and I'm in charge of the company finances. Aren't you afraid that firing me will cause chaos in the company?"

Long Xiaoshan glanced at Zhou Dahong with disdain and remained silent, hands clasped behind his back.

Zhou Dahong trembled with rage.

He shouted, "Everyone can see, this company is a complete mess, where people can be beaten and fired at will. Zhou An, Li Tao… do you still plan to stay?"

Zhou Dahong called out to some people who followed him.

These were all his subordinates and colleagues from before.

They were elites from Hong Kong Island.

Once Zhou Dahong called out, these people looked at each other and stood out one after another, supporting Zhou Dahong.

"Right, we quit too."

"Where has a company ever operated like this, firing people on a whim? Is there no sense of contract spirit anymore? In such a company, no one should continue working."

The people who stood out were all stirring up the crowd.

They had come to the company, and due to Long Xiaoshan's delegation of authority, they completely seized the company's power.

The Longyang Company was essentially propped up by them.

So, they were not afraid at all. Seeing Long Xiaoshan firing people, there was a sense of them banding together to stage a coup. As more and more people stood out, more joined in.

They held a psychological advantage.

With so many people united, do you dare to fire them?

If you do, the company will collapse immediately, even lacking people for basic operations.

Zhou Dahong, with a face swollen like a pig's head, looked at Long Xiaoshan with a mix of resentment and smugness.

You country bumpkin, only knowing how to use brute force, is this how you run a company?

Dare to hit me.

Now let's see what you do.

Jin Lian was also panicking; she regretted that due to her own little problem, most of the company's employees had stood up to confront Long Xiaoshan, even affecting the company's operations.

This company was the hope of Longyang Village for wealth.

Your journey continues at empire

It bore the hopes of all the villagers in the village.

If she were to ruin it, it would be utterly unforgivable.

If only she had known, she would have just endured it.

Jin Lian was very upset in her heart. Standing next to Long Xiaoshan, with her eyes turning red, she said, "President Long, it's all my fault. I'll go and apologize to Manager Zhou. I won't work at the company anymore. You can fire me, and then Manager Zhou won't be angry."

With that, Jin Lian walked towards Manager Zhou.

She was going to plead with Manager Zhou.

Long Xiaoshan grabbed her, frowning, "What are you doing? Who told you to admit your wrongdoing?"

"Xiaoshan, let me go. The company can't do without Manager Zhou and the others right now. The company is everyone's hope. If it's ruined, I can't bear that responsibility," Jin Lian said with tears running down her face.

"Who told you to take responsibility? I won't let you suffer this indignity as a woman. I'd rather not have this company," Long Xiaoshan said dominantly.

"Little Xiaoshan." Jin Lian looked at Long Xiaoshan blankly; no one had ever treated her like this before.

This was a company worth over ten billion.

"Alright, just stand here. These people, to really think that I can't do without them," Long Xiaoshan said coldly.

At that moment, he looked at the people in the company.

In the office building, there were about forty people.

Now, half of them had stood out, over twenty people, including three managers.

All these people looked at Long Xiaoshan with a tough and arrogant attitude, believing that any company would be unable to withstand half of its workforce leaving and would definitely have to bow down.

Long Xiaoshan looked at these people and said indifferently, "Have you all decided to quit?"

"Yes, we quit."

"We quit. Continuing in a company without a system has no future."

```

...

A group of people shouted back and forth at each other.

Long Xiaoshan nodded and said, "Alright, go settle your accounts with finance, leave all of the company's property behind, and leave the company immediately."

"What?"

Everyone was shocked at Long Xiaoshan's words.

They all froze.

Disbelieving their own ears.

Long Xiaoshan didn't try to retain them, instead, he was letting them all go.

Not only were those who had just shouted about leaving incredulous, but those who remained also thought Long Xiaoshan was being rash. How could the company operate if half of the people left?

"President Long... are you sure you want to fire us?" one person asked, their voice still forceful but obviously faltering now.

Although Longyang Company was in the remote Longyang Village, they had been brought in by Gu Jingheng. To ensure they would work contentedly in the countryside, they had been given very generous salaries, triple what they'd get on Hong Kong Island, and Gu Jingheng had even stated that if they did their jobs well and the company thrived, they would not be mistreated. After two years, they could return to work at the Gu Corporation and would be promoted three levels. A promise from the eldest son of the Guu Family was worth more than its weight in gold.

Now, if they were fired, not only would that promise become void, but they would also have to explain themselves to Gu Jingheng.

"Yes, you've been fired. I, as the Chairman of Longyang Company, formally make this decision," Long Xiaoshan said indifferently and resolutely.

That tone.

Made it clear to these people that Long Xiaoshan wasn't joking or bluffing, he truly intended to fire them.

Now, they were panicking.

They thought that by banding together, they could make Long Xiaoshan bow down.

But the situation had developed into this.

"President Long, do you realize the company can't operate without us?"

"What you're doing is self-destructive."

"We were brought in by President Guu, even if you want to fire us, you need the board's consent, and President Guu's approval."

"That's right, the company isn't just yours, President Guu has shares too."

Seeing that things were not going their way, they started to panic.

Many of them began invoking the mighty name of Gu Jingheng.

"I almost forgot about that, let me give Gu Jingheng a call right now," Long Xiaoshan said as he pulled out his phone, dialed Gu Jingheng's number, and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, Brother Xiaoshan, this is rare, you actually called me," Gu Jingheng's voice was warm over the phone.

Long Xiaoshan spoke plainly, "Brother Guu, I'm going to fire your people at my company."

"Oh, okay... WHAT!" Gu Jingheng responded reflexively with 'okay', then realized what was said and shouted in surprise, "You're firing people, who are you firing? Who offended you?"

"Not just one person, there's Zhou Dahong, Huang Zhiyao, Li Jiancheng…" Long Xiaoshan had a good memory; he had only met these people once when they initially joined the company, yet he listed all of their names in one breath.

As Gu Jingheng listened, he grew more alarmed. Nearly everyone he had placed in Longyang Company was being mentioned. He was now bewildered, wondering if he had upset Long Xiaoshan at the Jingheng Hotel that day, which led to the decision to let go of all his people.

This made him very anxious.

He had invested almost all his money in the wellness hotel, and the business was thriving. It was his hope in the struggle for power within the Guu Family and against other branches.

If Long Xiaoshan terminated their collaboration, his plans would be ruined.

He hurriedly said, "Xiaoshan, if there was anything I did wrong, please tell me. Brother Guu will apologize to you. No, I am on my way now, please wait for me."

Since the speakerphone was on, Zhou Dahong and the others could hear everything Gu Jingheng was saying.

They were stunned.

What was going on?

When the young master of the Guu Family heard that Long Xiaoshan was letting go of all his people, not only did he not complain, but he was also quick to apologize without inquiring further, and he was even rushing over immediately.

Now, they were beginning to realize.

The situation was completely different from what they had expected. They thought Long Xiaoshan was just a figurehead president, a simple farmer focused only on growing wellness produce.

In their hearts, these Western-educated elites didn't take Long Xiaoshan seriously at all.

But now, they realized that it was not the case at all.
