Everyone watched in disbelief. The scenes in the photos were simply too shocking!

As the subjects of the photos, the women from the sales department were utterly mortified.

In the end, their composure completely crumbled, and they ran out of the room in tears.

The photos on the screen continued to play.

Seeing Zhou Kexin’s shocked expression, Qin Tuo sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, as the slideshow neared its end, Zhou Kexin seemed to lose all awareness, completely stunned.

Then, Wang Lei suddenly let out a loud shout!

”No! This is all fake! Don’t believe it!”

Unfortunately, no one believed him.

Everyone knew that Wang Lei was completely finished.

Feng Ling, at the side, seemed to realize something. She rushed forward, trying to smash the projector.

’Do you think this is a place for you to cause a scene?’

Qin Tuo snorted coldly and shot out a kick.

Feng Ling was knocked to the ground by Qin Tuo’s kick.

But she ignored the pain, screaming as she tried to destroy the projector.

Next, intimate photos of Wang Lei and Feng Ling appeared on the screen, along with their chat logs.

Watching scene after scene, Zhou Kexin looked as if she had been struck by lightning. She staggered, nearly falling to the floor.

”Whoa, careful!”

Luckily, Chen Man Ni, who was beside her, acted quickly and steadied Zhou Kexin.

Just then, the slideshow finished. The entire conference room fell into a dead silence.

Wang Lei wished he could find a crack in the floor to crawl into.

Facing all the strange looks, he was mortified.

At that moment, others from the sales department began to direct their accusations at Feng Ling.

”Feng Ling, you shameless bitch! And to think you acted like Zhou Kexin’s best friend. I can’t believe you’d do something like this. It’s completely warped.”

”Hmph, this woman is so despicable. To think she could stoop to something worse than an animal. In ancient times, she’d be drowned in a pig cage.”

The barrage of accusations and curses made Feng Ling want to die of shame and anger.

She hung her head low, not daring to meet anyone’s gaze.

As for Zhou Kexin, she collapsed into her chair and began to sob heartbrokenly.

Qin Tuo sighed and asked,

”Ke Xin, are you still going to plead for this scumbag?”

Zhou Kexin slowly raised her head, her eyes narrowing. She stood up angrily and walked toward Feng Ling.

Feng Ling was suddenly afraid. She backed away slowly, trying to explain.

”Ke Xin, don’t misunderstand! It was your boyfriend, Wang Lei, who came onto me. I didn’t do this on purpose!”

Hearing this, Wang Lei immediately counterattacked, arguing deceitfully,

”Ke Xin, it’s not my fault! It was this vixen Feng Ling who seduced me! Last time, she pretended to be drunk and slept with me...”

As Wang Lei spoke, his eyes darted around. ’I have to make my position clear right now,’ he thought. ’Maybe I can still win Ke Xin back.’

So, pretending to be furious, he rushed forward and struck Feng Ling.

SLAP!

Wang Lei slapped Feng Ling directly across the face.

Feng Ling instantly erupted like a shrew, screaming and shouting.

”Wang Lei, you son of a bitch, burning the bridge after you’ve crossed it! How dare you hit me?”

Feng Ling opened her mouth to bite Wang Lei’s neck. The two of them started fighting like a pair of dogs, a tangled mess.

Seeing this, a look of utter despair filled Zhou Kexin’s eyes. Nothing could have been a greater blow to her!

The motivated, considerate, and gentle Wang Lei she knew was, in fact, a complete and utter cheater.

This plunged Zhou Kexin into a state of endless dejection.

Wang Lei and Feng Ling’s brawl was quite an eye-opener for the sales department employees.

This was the conference room, the place where the board of directors met. Such a scene was truly unsightly!

Qin Tuo waved his hand coldly.

”Get them both out of here! Brawling like this, what a disgrace!”

The others immediately snapped to their senses and hurried to drag the pair away.

Wang Lei looked pleadingly at Zhou Kexin.

”Ke Xin, for the sake of our long relationship, please put in a good word for me! Don’t let me lose my job!”

Even now, he was still worried about his job.

A furious rage ignited in Zhou Kexin’s heart.

A slap landed heavily across his face!

That one slap extinguished Wang Lei’s last shred of hope.

He completely lost it, opening his mouth and roaring incessantly.

”Let go of me! I’m the sales department manager! I’m your boss! How dare you treat me like this?”

But these people didn’t care about any of that.

Qin Tuo was the chairman now. As for Wang Lei?

He was just a fired employee!

A group of people dragged and pulled Wang Lei and Feng Ling out. The conference room was finally quiet.

Only the sound of Zhou Kexin’s soft crying could be heard.

At this point, Chen Man Ni, who was at the side, took a phone call. After a brief chat, she patted Qin Tuo’s shoulder.

”Qin Tuo, you’re the chairman now, so all work assignments are yours to arrange. I have something to take care of, so I’ll be leaving.”

Qin Tuo nodded slightly, and Chen Man Ni left the conference room.

Now, everyone was looking at Qin Tuo expectantly, waiting for his next arrangements.

Everyone knew that Chen Man Ni had completely handed over the company’s authority to Qin Tuo.

From now on, Mani Company would be Qin Tuo’s one-man show!

Qin Tuo glanced at Zhou Kexin and said slowly,

”Starting today, I am appointing Zhou Kexin as the acting general manager!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else looked at Zhou Kexin with a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

However, Zhou Kexin hadn’t yet recovered from her grief. Even hearing that she had been promoted, she didn’t show much joy.

Qin Tuo then looked at the crowd, his gaze landing on Liu Ping.

”Liu Ping, starting today, you are the acting sales department manager. Both of you will become permanent based on your performance.”

Liu Ping’s face was a mask of utter bewilderment.

’I’m... the acting sales manager?’

He knew that although it was only an acting position, as long as he didn’t make any major mistakes, it would almost certainly become permanent.

Liu Ping’s heart was filled with immense joy, his face flushing red with excitement!

The others nearby didn’t hold back their applause, clapping while praising the two of them.

”Chairman Qin, you are truly brilliant! These choices are perfect!”

”Yes, the Chairman has a keen eye for talent right after taking office! From now on, we must work even harder under him and not disappoint his expectations.”

However, even as they sucked up to him, they were worried about being purged.
