After Ning Xingchen and Lin Hao returned to the company, they saw Fatty Zhang with his hand wrapped in gauze, strutting around arrogantly. Despite his earlier beating, he was still yelling at the employees and cursing them, venting all his morning's anger on them.
"Brother-in-law, why are you here?" Zhang Jun, upon seeing Jiang Wenshan, put on a fawning smile, his obsequious demeanor disgusting and greasy to behold.
Immediately, Zhang Jun noticed Ning Xingchen and Lin Hao behind Jiang Wenshan, and his anger flared up. Without a word, he raised his fist to strike his two enemies.
"Zhang Jun, what are you doing?" Jiang Wenshan was taken aback and hurriedly stopped Zhang Jun.
"These two bastards, I didn't expect you to dare come back. See if I don't kill you!" Zhang Jun, freshly bandaged, was still cocky, oblivious to his own limits.
Unfortunately, Jiang Wenshan was severely ill and weak, and the already furious Zhang Jun easily pushed him aside.
"Idiot, screw you." Seeing Zhang Fatty charging at him like a mad dog, Ning Xingchen kicked him hard in the abdomen. Zhang Jun flew back like a kite.
With Ning Xingchen's current skills, even professional special forces couldn't match him, let alone a weakling like Zhang Jun. Provoking him was asking for humiliation.
Jiang Wenshan didn't understand the grudge between Ning Xingchen and Zhang Jun, but he didn't care. His only concern now was to quickly sign the equity transfer agreement. To him, Zhang Jun was just a piece of fatty meat ready to be discarded.
"Brother Ning, please come to my office. Secretary Wu, come too." Jiang Wenshan called over a secretary in black silk stockings.
Without wasting time, Jiang Wenshan instructed Secretary Wu to draft the contract and called the company's legal advisor to handle the transfer.
Within two hours, everything was settled. Ning Xingchen reviewed the transfer contract, confirmed it, and signed it, paying Jiang Wenshan the share amount on the spot.
After receiving the bank notification, Jiang Wenshan showed a hint of joy. Getting so much money at once made him believe that his recent prayers to the God of Wealth had been effective.
Jiang Wenshan then held a company-wide meeting to announce that he had transferred all his shares to Ning Xingchen. From that day on, Ning Xingchen was the actual owner of YunChuang Technology and its chairman.
The employees were stunned, especially those who had good relationships with Ning Xingchen. They were astonished to see a former colleague they used to complain about the company with suddenly become their boss.
Zhang Jun, in particular, collapsed into his chair, his eyes vacant and disbelief all over his face. It felt like a dream he couldn't wake up from.
Suddenly, the sound of slapping rang out as Zhang Jun started hitting himself, trying to wake up from this nightmare.
A cold smile crossed Ning Xingchen's lips as he glanced at Zhang Jun and immediately announced his first decision.
Zhang Jun was stripped of his position as assistant to the general manager but was not fired. Instead, he was assigned to clean the company toilets every day. Zhang Jun's face showed utter despair, like he had suffered a thousand blows. In less than a day, he went from an executive to a janitor.
The employees erupted in applause at Ning Xingchen's decision, their faces showing schadenfreude, revealing just how unpopular Zhang Jun was.
The best way to deal with someone you hate is to keep them close, slowly torment them, and humiliate them until they break down mentally. This was the perfect punishment for Zhang Fatty.
With a new leader, Ning Xingchen naturally appointed his own people. He made Lin Hao the vice president, in charge of technology and development.
Lin Hao was excited. The highest position he had ever held before was as a deputy health class representative. Now, he was the vice president of a company. His gaze toward Ning Xingchen was filled with admiration and gratitude.
Sharing good times and enduring hardships together, even sharing women – their brotherly oath wasn't just empty words. This was true friendship.
The employees had no major objections to these two decisions. Lin Hao was highly capable, a typical tech nerd passionate about technology and research, but had never had the chance to show his talents.
Ning Xingchen had worked at YunChuang for a long time and was well aware of the internal issues and conflicts. He planned to implement significant reforms.
"I hope that one day this company becomes the most influential in the world. For long-term development, I will assess everyone's capabilities in the coming days and reassign positions accordingly."
Ning Xingchen's words sparked murmurs among the employees. Many high-ranking officials were unhappy as it threatened their core interests. Resignation was not an option since they had worked hard for YunChuang for so long.
Frowning, Ning Xingchen realized that, holding 100% of the shares, he still faced resistance. His stricter management plans might even provoke rebellion.
"Anyone with objections can join the cleaning department. We currently need a manager to clean toilets with Zhang Jun," Ning Xingchen said coldly, exuding a commanding aura.
Silence fell over the room. Zhang Jun's fate was a grim warning. No one wanted to be the first to challenge Ning Xingchen, especially since the company's performance and benefits were improving.
"Alright, if no one has objections, it's settled. I also know everyone works hard, so those who pass the assessment will get a 15% raise." Ning Xingchen knew how to balance reward and punishment.
A pay raise isn't always enough to retain good employees, but without it, talents will definitely leave. Ning Xingchen understood this well. A boss who knows how to share profits will have loyal followers. Like Liu Bang, he was an excellent entrepreneur.
The room erupted in cheers. Everyone worked for money; dreams were secondary. Ning Xingchen set a threshold: slackers would be fired without mercy.
This move won over many employees. Ning Xingchen, now wealthy, promised a good life to those loyal to him: beautiful models, sports cars, luxury homes.
Following Brother Xingchen, the path ahead would be smooth.
