A black car stopped directly at the entrance of the restaurant.
This car was Dai Paipai's, recognized by everyone in the company.
As soon as the car stopped, Old Ma, the director of logistics, and Old Su, the executive vice president, both loyal confidantes of Dai Paipai, hurried over. With excited expressions, they rushed to open the rear door together.
Wang Mingshuai, dressed in a white shirt and silver-gray suit pants, his face ruddy and smiling, nodded incessantly as he stepped out of the car.
Dai Paipai, who was driving, also got out.
She was wearing a black professional suit dress today.
The hem of the skirt went past her knees, sheer stockings encased her legs, and she wore black low-heeled leather shoes.
Her attire was demure, deeply concealing her inherent intellectual sexiness.
Dai Paipai also had a smile on her face, although many could see that her smile was somewhat forced, and she had two noticeable dark circles under her eyes.
"You've all worked hard during my absence."
Wang Mingshuai shook hands with Old Su and others, appearing deeply moved. After a long while, he walked into the restaurant surrounded by everyone.
Old Su immediately raised his hands and was the first to applaud.
Instantly.
The restaurant erupted in thunderous applause.
Wang Mingshuai raised his left hand, greeting everyone, and went up to the stage with Dai Paipai.
He raised his hand and motioned for them to quiet down, and the applause gradually ceased.
"My dear brothers and sisters, I, Wang Mingshuai, am back!"
This was Wang Mingshuai's opening speech upon taking the stage, exuding an overwhelming aura of dominance.
Applause!
Old Su was once again the first to clap.
"If Old Su were to become a crosstalk comedian playing a supporting role, he'd surely make a name for himself, wouldn't he?"
Li Qianfan, hiding in the corner, looked at Old Su with a clear sense of pity in his eyes.
Wang Mingshuai's triumphant return speech was enough to convey a clear message to someone who was coveting his wife: "Paipai Fashion is mine! And Dai Paipai is forever my wife! Anyone who dares to covet her will be kicked out. Not only will that person be kicked out, but his father-in-law won't be able to stay in the company either."
"Early this morning, I received news. Zhao Lianjin, who once harmed Paipai Fashion, is dead!"
This was Wang Mingshuai's second opening statement after the applause subsided.
This time—
There was no applause, only countless stunned faces.
Dai Paipai, sitting beside Wang Mingshuai, lowered her head, her hands gripping the water cup tightly.
"Zhao Lianjin deserved his death."
Wang Mingshuai added hatefully, his stern gaze slowly sweeping across the entire venue.
He wanted to find the person who was coveting his wife.
The morning he was rescued and woke up, the first person he saw was Li Qianfan.
Where was Li Qianfan now?
Oh.
He saw him.
He was hiding in the southwest corner.
Heh, did you think you could hide there and I wouldn't see you, and I would let you stay in the company and continue to have designs on my wife?
Wang Mingshuai chuckled coldly in his heart and slowly said, "Given that many things have happened within the company during my unexpected absence, especially regarding personnel adjustments, which have been quite volatile. Therefore, after careful consideration, I have decided to reorganize several key middle and senior management positions."
Although the middle and senior management appointed by Dai Paipai had been widely recognized by all employees,
As the saying goes, "a new emperor appoints his own officials."
Even though Dai Paipai was Wang Mingshuai's wife, he would still reassign individual important positions upon his triumphant return.
Hundreds of employees perked up their ears.
"Comrade Dai Paipai, the former general manager, is now appointed as the company's executive vice president."
Wang Mingshuai announced the first appointment after his return.
Old Su's expression immediately changed.
Because he was the executive vice president of Paipai Fashion.
If Dai Paipai became the executive vice president, what would Old Su be?
However, soon after.
Old Su's expression returned to normal, and he once again led the applause.
Dai Paipai was not only the former general manager of Paipai Fashion but also the wife of the current general manager, Wang Mingshuai.
She had resigned from her previous position and was now serving as executive vice president, assisting her husband's work. No one could say anything against it.
Old Su would also willingly yield the position of executive vice president to Dai Paipai.
"Comrade Su Laiyun, the former executive vice president—"
Wang Mingshuai, looking down from his elevated position, gazed at Old Su, who wore a respectful smile, and said in a light tone, "You are transferred to the company's sales department."
To serve as the director of the sales department!
This was the unspoken addition to the statement that all employees (except Li Qianfan and Dai Paipai), and even Old Su himself, had mentally supplied for Wang Mingshuai.
After all, when Wang Mingshuai was present, Old Su was the director of the sales department.
After he fell ill, Old Su consistently supported Dai Paipai.
Moreover, a few days ago, he had secured an order for 30,000 work uniforms from the Qingyun branch of Jinchao Group, single-handedly establishing his prestige as second only to the general manager.
Now that Wang Mingshuai had returned and appointed his wife as executive vice president, it seemed logical to have Old Su take charge of sales again.
However—
Wang Mingshuai did not utter the sentence that everyone had automatically assumed.
Wang Mingshuai continued, "Comrade Song Kaijie, the deputy director of Workshop 1, is appointed as the director of the sales department. After all, he was a sales elite before. Now that he's returning to his old profession, he'll be able to familiarize himself with the work in the shortest possible time."
Inside the restaurant, filled with hundreds of people.
There was a sudden, deathly silence.
Everyone slowly turned their heads, looking at Old Su.
At this moment, Old Su still had a smile of respect on his face.
That smile was eternal.
"After Mr. Wang fell ill, Old Su made great contributions. How could he suddenly be cast down to the mortal realm by Mr. Wang and become an ordinary salesman?"
Many employees thought this after blinking.
Old Su's face still held an eternally respectful smile.
Dai Paipai, who had been looking down, slowly raised her head, her gaze at Old Su filled with guilt.
"Comrade Li Qianfan, former secretary to General Manager Dai."
Wang Mingshuai began to announce the new appointments: "Effective immediately, you will no longer serve as General Manager Dai's secretary. You are now appointed as the second vice president of Paipai Fashion."
He sidelined Old Su, who was well-qualified, and promoted Li Qianfan, who had introduced him to the factory, to second vice president!
All the employees were bewildered by Wang Mingshuai's actions.
"If it weren't to coax him into looking after my 'monk-like illness,' I would have kicked him out with a single kick,"
Wang Mingshuai scoffed inwardly. "The day he cures me will be the day he gets thrown out! A wet-behind-the-ears brat daring to lust after my wife."
Dai Paipai's flickering gaze turned towards the southwest corner.
In the southwest corner.
Li Qianfan was still playing on his phone with his head down.
Why would he listen to Wang Mingshuai's nonsense on stage when it was more meaningful to discuss the thirty-six positions with Boss Ruhuafather?
Li Qianfan had initially thought that since he had never been with a woman, Boss Ruhuafather, who claimed to know many characteristics of women and could even find the most beautiful pictures, must be an experienced person.
No.
Although Li Qianfan lacked experience in that area, he could tell that Boss Ruhuafather, who pretended to be experienced, was actually a novice.
"Damn it, are you still a kid in school?"
Li Qianfan typed: "Otherwise, how could you spout such nonsense that women can work on their laptops while fully engaged during the process? Do you think I don't understand that when women are fully engaged, their peripheral nerves become hyperactive, their brains go blank, and they feel like they're flying? Forget about working, they wouldn't even know what they were yelling about."
Ruhua stubbornly replied: "Tch, those are other women you're talking about. I can work while fully engaged."
Nonsense!
As Li Qianfan typed these two words, he heard Wang Mingshuai call out from the stage: "Li Qianfan, Vice President Li, please come to the stage."
"I'll talk to you later, I have work to do."
Li Qianfan typed quickly, then jumped down from the windowsill and walked to the front of the stage under the envious and jealous gazes of hundreds of people.
Wang Mingshuai looked at him and smiled, "Vice President Li, congratulations."
"Congratulations to me?"
Li Qianfan also smiled, "I'm sorry, but I have no interest in becoming some damn vice president."
