In their view, this was the last straw of life, but it was also Liu Zixuan’s final bottom line.

You must understand, the foundation of a company is its employees, its management.

Anyone with a bit of intelligence could tell that Liu Zixuan appeared in such a dominant manner because he was prepared.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to fire so many people as soon as he came in.

Perhaps it was because Liu Zixuan directly embarrassed them with the stock issue, otherwise Manager Qian might not see it, but Chang Yanchang could definitely sense something.

As soon as Manager Qian finished speaking, Liu Zixuan’s eyes turned cold and harsh: "You want to threaten me with a strike? Gu Chengkun and Wei Linming just gave me nearly ten billion in funds. I could fire all the employees and use this ten billion to recruit new ones. I believe many would fight for these positions!"

"You!"

Liu Zixuan interrupted Manager Qian’s words with a meaningful smile: "Moreover, do you really think you and Chang Yanchang alone can make these employees strike?"

"You think we don’t have this ability?" Chang Yanchang spoke up.

Liu Zixuan casually lit a cigarette and sat in a chair: "I’ll give you the chance; feel free to try!"

Manager Qian looked at Chang Yanchang and said somberly: "Mr. Chang, at this point, what is there to consider? Just go against him directly. Even if he has the funds, taking the employees with us can paralyze Xiumei Group for several days!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Yanchang frowned and looked directly at the senior management: "Everyone, I’ve never wronged any of you, right?"

"Manager Huang, I gave you a 50,000 red envelope for your child’s birthday! Manager Lin, I gifted you a car for your wedding, and also Zhang..." Chang Yanchang recounted in detail the benefits he had given to everyone, during which Liu Zixuan did not utter a single word!

Instead, Manager Wang, who first met Liu Zixuan, stood up and looked at everyone, saying: "Chang Yanchang may have given some of you benefits, but have you thought about where it came from? It was from Liu Zixuan, from President Liu’s money, from Xiumei Group’s money. At the end of the day, the one who gave you the benefits was President Liu; Chang Yanchang just played the good guy role."

Liu Zixuan waved his hand: "Manager Wang, no need to be so blunt, everyone knows the truth."

Saying this, Liu Zixuan looked at the crowd: "Now, you can make your own choice, follow Chang Yanchang with the employees, or stay here. I won’t hold past issues against you!"

"Is there even a need to say this? We are employees of Xiumei Group, not just with him, Chang Yanchang!"

"Exactly, what’s good about a traitor."

The crowd erupted in murmurs, with ninety-five percent siding with Liu Zixuan, and the remaining five percent standing with Chang Yanchang. This five percent were those who usually flaunted their power relying on Chang Yanchang’s status.

The ninety-five percent weren’t foolish; in this confrontation between Liu Zixuan and Chang Yanchang, Chang Yanchang was utterly defeated.

If they chose him now, it would be the most foolish decision. Following Liu Zixuan meant continuing to work here, whereas following Chang Yanchang, who was about to become a stray dog, meant heading to the streets to beg?

"How can you do this; hasn’t Mr. Chang treated you well?" Manager Qian shouted angrily with a flushed face.

Liu Zixuan laughed coldly: "At this point, what’s the use of your endless chatter? Even if all of them followed you two, what could you do? Can you two support so many people?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After saying this, both Chang Yanchang and Manager Qian fell silent.

Because they had no grounds for rebuttal, or perhaps they realized that from the first step Liu Zixuan took into Xiumei Group, they had lost!

"Since you two are silent, let me speak." Liu Zixuan cleared his throat, "I am a person who clearly separates rewards from punishments. If one is wrong, I must punish them; if one is good, I will reward them."

"Chang Yanchang, with high position and authority, not only failed to protect the Group’s interests but also colluded with outsiders to damage our company. From this moment, he is dismissed from all his duties in the Group, and all assets he obtained from Xiumei Group are confiscated."

"Do you have anything to refute?" Liu Zixuan asked mockingly.

With a thud, Chang Yanchang sat on the floor directly, refuting? Currently, he didn’t even have the courage to speak; a wrong step leads to a wrong path. Greed for more profit led him into this deep abyss.

What Liu Zixuan did was actually the mildest; had Liu Zixuan gone through official channels, just the things he had done could land Chang Yanchang in prison for over ten years!

"Manager Qian, as the financial manager of the Group, not only did you not consider the company’s interests, but you also defamed and confronted the company’s higher-ups. You are dismissed from all Group positions and all assets you obtained from the Group are recalled."

"Manager Hu..."

"Manager Ren..."

Liu Zixuan read one name after another, dismissing all of them from their positions.

His swift actions made everyone submit.

Looking at those few people lowering their heads, Liu Zixuan sneered: "Who is the head of the Group’s Legal Department?"

"President Liu, it’s me." At this moment, a man stepped forward.

"Can I trust you?" Liu Zixuan asked meaningfully.

Manager Wang quickly said: "President Liu, he is my husband; we were both among the first batch to join the company. Absolutely trustworthy."

Liu Zixuan nodded: "Good, take your team and confiscate all their assets. If they dare to resist during the process, go through the official channels, don’t show any mercy!"

"Rest assured, I will definitely handle this well!" the head of the legal department nodded and said.

Liu Zixuan took a puff of his cigarette, exhaling the smoke onto Chang Yanchang and Manager Qian’s faces: "I believe I have proven with my strength that in Xiumei Group, I am the Emperor! But merely with you few bastards, you haven’t the capital for a coup!"

"Where is the head of the security team?"

"I’m here!" A burly man ran over and said cheerfully: "Brother Xuan, I was just sent by President Zhu. He said any dirty or tough work, just give it to me."

Liu Zixuan laughed: "Then get these filthy things out of here for me, let the brothers downstairs exert some effort, parading these goods in front of each department as an example!"

"Understood!" The burly man called in a few people from outside, directly dragging Chang Yanchang and the others out.

When all the employees saw Mr. Chang, who once stood tall, in such a disgraceful state, they subconsciously broke out in cold sweat, thankful they didn’t join the strike, or else... they would all have been doomed!
