Feng Ling, who had been the most audacious just a moment ago, stared with wide eyes, her face completely pale.

Beside her, Zhou Kexin looked slightly stunned, frozen in place and unable to speak.

A group of sales employees all stood with their mouths agape, looking utterly dumbfounded.

This was especially true for Wang Lei. His face, which had been full of anticipation, now seemed to have petrified into a statue.

”Impossible, this is absolutely impossible...”

Wang Lei muttered to himself as if he had gone mad, unable to accept this cruel outcome.

Only Qin Tuo appeared perfectly calm, without even a hint of excitement.

After the employees from the other departments recovered from the shock, they all began to applaud!

The applause was jarring to Wang Lei’s ears, and he was clearly unwilling to accept this.

He couldn’t help but ask:

”Chairman Chen, did you make a mistake? On what grounds is this kid the chairman?”

Chen Man Ni looked at Wang Lei coldly, her voice incomparably icy.

”Are you questioning my decision?”

Her words snapped Wang Lei back to his senses. He immediately shrank back, too frightened to make another sound.

Zhou Kexin and the others all clamped their mouths shut, not daring to utter a single word of protest.

Seeing that no one else dared to object, Chen Man Ni made an inviting gesture toward Qin Tuo and smiled at him.

”And now, let’s have our new chairman come to the stage and say a few words!”

Qin Tuo slowly rose and walked to the front of the stage.

Instantly, a thunderous round of applause erupted!

Qin Tuo addressed the crowd:

”I don’t have much to say, so I’ll keep it brief.”

Hearing Qin Tuo’s words, everyone felt a sense of unease.

The people from the sales department, in particular, had a sinking feeling that Qin Tuo was about to settle scores with them.

Wang Lei, Feng Ling, and the others looked on, their faces drained of all color.

Qin Tuo continued:

”The other departments may return to your duties. There will be no personnel changes. As for the sales department, all of you stay behind. I have something to say to you in a moment.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the employees from the other departments rose and left with the utmost respect.

The members of the sales department, however, began to murmur amongst themselves, panicked and uneasy.

”It’s over. We’re so screwed. He’s going to settle the score with us!”

”Sigh, I regret this so much. If I had known he was going to become chairman, I would have been sucking up to him from the start. But who could have possibly known?”

The group of employees was sick with regret.

Soon, only the sales department staff remained in the conference room. They all stood to the side, awaiting Qin Tuo’s judgment.

Qin Tuo’s gaze fell upon Wang Lei, and he asked with a smile:

”Wang Lei, do you think the seat I just took was appropriate?”

Wang Lei’s heart sank, but he nodded quickly.

”Replying to Chairman Qin, yes, it’s appropriate! More than appropriate! That seat was made for you!”

He adapted remarkably fast, immediately adopting a sycophantic tone.

Qin Tuo smiled again and said:

”However, I feel that you’re not quite suited for the position of sales department manager!”

Wang Lei’s heart felt as if it were bleeding. He quickly begged for mercy.

”Chairman Qin, I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong! Please, I’m begging you, just let me off the hook this once!”

Hearing Wang Lei beg for mercy, the other employees of the sales department trembled.

However, Qin Tuo remained expressionless as he said slowly:

”I’ve already given you many chances. Unfortunately, back when my position was low and my words carried no weight, you paid them no mind. And now, you’re out of chances.”

Wang Lei’s face turned deathly pale. He trembled, unable to speak.

He knew that if he lost his position as sales manager, he would have nothing.

”Chairman Qin, please, I beg you, give me one last chance!”

Wang Lei was on the verge of tears, his eyes turning red.

If he lost his job now, he wouldn’t even be able to pay his mortgage.

But Qin Tuo just shook his head, sneered, and ignored him.

In his eyes, people like Wang Lei were bad apples that had to be thrown out of the company.

Seeing Qin Tuo’s resolute expression, Wang Lei fell into complete despair.

Then, as if grasping at his last straw, he yelled to Zhou Kexin:

”Ke Xin, hurry up and say something for me!”

Zhou Kexin’s expression was conflicted, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to stay silent.

After all, Wang Lei was her boyfriend, and they were already at the stage of discussing marriage.

Zhou Kexin gave a bitter smile and pleaded:

”Qin Tuo, can you let him off the hook? I promise you, Wang Lei definitely won’t dare to do anything bad to you again. If he ever dares to do so, I’ll leave the company with him!”

Seeing Zhou Kexin’s sincere and pleading expression, even Chen Man Ni felt a pang of sympathy.

However, she had already handed power over to Qin Tuo, so she wouldn’t interfere.

She knew that for Qin Tuo to establish his authority as the new leader, he had to handle these matters himself.

Wang Lei nodded desperately from the side, making promises.

”Chairman, rest assured, I’ll keep my head down and behave from now on. I’ll never cause you any more trouble!”

But Qin Tuo ignored Wang Lei completely, sighing as he looked at Zhou Kexin.

”Ke Xin, do you think I’m firing Wang Lei out of a personal vendetta? If you think that, you’re completely mistaken!”

Zhou Kexin was suddenly puzzled.

”Oh, Qin Tuo, then what do you mean?”

There was no doubt in her mind that Qin Tuo was acting out of malicious revenge.

Hearing Qin Tuo’s words, many others present also looked confused.

Qin Tuo snorted coldly and said:

”Let me tell you, this man has a serious character problem. That’s why I’m firing him!”

Zhou Kexin grew even more confused. She thought for a moment and said:

”Wang Lei might be a bit too jealous, but he shouldn’t have any other problems, right?”

It was clear she was still unwilling to believe Qin Tuo and continued to speak up for Wang Lei.

Qin Tuo knew that if he didn’t make Zhou Kexin face the crushing reality, she would continue to be kept in the dark.

So, Qin Tuo decided to lay his cards on the table.

”It seems you’ve been badly deceived by him. No matter. I’ll show you all something, and then you’ll understand!”

As he spoke, Qin Tuo pulled a USB drive from his pocket and plugged it into the computer connected to the projector.

A moment later, a PowerPoint presentation began to play in the conference room.

At this, Wang Lei and several of the female employees in the room suddenly showed looks of panic.

At that moment, everyone looked up at the screen.

The screen flashed, and intimate photos of Wang Lei with several unfamiliar women appeared!

”Oh my god, is this...”

Zhou Kexin’s face instantly turned ashen.

Next, the photos flashed by one after another.

Everyone recognized that most of the women in the photos were from the sales department.

This time, everyone was completely and utterly stunned!
