It's a given.
Su Jinghui was indeed a good-for-nothing, a view both Chen Jinzhao and Yu Mengzhi agreed upon.
He possessed little capability to begin with, and he channeled all of it into internal strife.
With such a meticulously self-serving individual in the company, it was bound to go nowhere, even risking bankruptcy.
Chen Jinzhao released his foot.
Su Jinghui gradually came to his senses, realizing that resorting to physical force against Chen Jinzhao was the wrong approach. He gritted his teeth and said, "You dare lay a hand on me? I'm marking this down. We'll settle this later."
"Regarding Liu Wenyhao's matter, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
Now, he was digging in his heels, trying to shift the blame onto Chen Jinzhao, hoping to make Yu Mengzhi ruthlessly deal with Chen Jinzhao.
Chen Jinzhao let out a cold laugh. "Su Jinghui, have you forgotten my habit of recording videos?"
Su Jinghui's face paled, but he dared not say another word.
Yu Mengzhi took Chen Jinzhao's phone. Su Jinghui tried to snatch it away, but Yu Mengzhi said coldly, "Why are you so agitated? Could it be that this matter has something to do with you?"
Su Jinghui quickly denied it.
Fortunately.
Liu Wenyhao only admitted to drugging someone and did not implicate Su Jinghui.
After watching the video, Yu Mengzhi said to Su Jinghui, "I recall Liu Wenyhao being your man, right? He usually reports to no superior, only to you. Do you have anything to say?"
"I..." Su Jinghui stammered.
"I don't know. This has nothing to do with me. Otherwise, he would have already confessed me!"
Yu Mengzhi retorted, "Then, is Liu Wenyhao not your man?"
Su Jinghui continued to shake his head.
Chen Jinzhao watched with amusement. Su Jinghui was still too inexperienced; he couldn't outmaneuver Yu Mengzhi in terms of tactics.
As expected.
Yu Mengzhi followed Su Jinghui's words. "Alright, since Liu Wenyhao is not your man, and considering the grave mistake he has now made, I will personally make the decision to dismiss him. Do you have any objections?"
Su Jinghui broke out in a cold sweat.
Only now did he realize that Yu Mengzhi's words were a trap, and he had foolishly fallen right into it.
If he were to object now, wouldn't it confirm his connection with Liu Wenyhao?
But if he didn't object, Su Jinghui would lose a powerful right-hand man.
Before Su Jinghui could even speak, Yu Mengzhi stated with firm conviction, "Liu Wenyhao has committed such a serious offense; our company cannot possibly keep him. Even if you report this to the Old Master, the outcome will be the same."
"This matter is settled."
Yu Mengzhi gave Su Jinghui no chance to react.
"Chen Jinzhao, let's go."
It was only after the two of them left that Su Jinghui could no longer suppress his anger. He re-entered the private room and berated Liu Wenyhao. However, an accident almost occurred. Due to the potent effects of the drug, Liu Wenyhao nearly pushed Su Jinghui over.
That day.
Gou Chen Group internally released a president's email. In it, they first condemned Liu Wenyhao in the harshest terms before announcing his dismissal.
This was the first time within Gou Chen Group.
Anyone with some awareness understood that Yu Mengzhi was making a move against Su Jinghui, using this incident to establish her authority. Yu Mengzhi's objective was achieved; after this event, Su Jinghui's standing within Gou Chen significantly diminished.
At that time.
Su Jinghui was agitated, believing all the blame lay with Liu Wenyhao.
If not for Liu Wenyhao, there wouldn't have been so many complications.
Thus.
Su Jinghui began to kick Liu Wenyhao to the curb, discarding him like a worn-out tool.
From that day forward, no one in the company ever saw Liu Wenyhao again. Even those closest to him lost contact. Liu Wenyhao had vanished into thin air.
However, Su Jinghui also understood that to establish a firm foothold in the company, he needed to achieve some results.
Relying solely on developing factions seemed unlikely to work.
As luck would have it, an opportunity presented itself. A renowned professor in the field of biochemistry appeared in Su Jinghui's sight. This professor was named Wen Fulai, who had previously published several articles in the journal *Nature* and was considered the strongest professor in the past fifty years.
It was known that the weakest link in Gou Chen was drug research and development. If this professor could be invited to join Gou Chen Pharmaceutical Group, it would bring immense benefits to the group.
Su Jinghui's position would also become more stable.
Perhaps...
He could even eye a higher position.
Meanwhile.
Yu Mengzhi had also noticed Wen Fulai and had already begun negotiations, but the progress was not smooth.
Su Jinghui, unwilling to be outdone, took a different approach and prepared a bevy of beauties and money for Wen Fulai. However, Wen Fulai completely ignored Su Jinghui, leaving him utterly powerless.
Progress stalled, and the situation reached a stalemate.
On Friday morning.
Yu Mengzhi cordially invited Wen Fulai to visit the company, hoping to persuade him to change his mind.
Wen Fulai, out of respect for the Yu family, verbally agreed to Yu Mengzhi's invitation.
Everyone knew that this was the last chance for Wen Fulai to accept Gou Chen Group's invitation. If a positive response was not received today, there would likely be no further opportunities.
The company's senior management attended a meeting. Yu Mengzhi offered extremely attractive salary terms, yet Wen Fulai politely declined.
This disappointed everyone.
Only Su Jinghui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't been able to win over Wen Fulai, so he hoped Yu Mengzhi wouldn't succeed either.
Otherwise, his standing in the company would plummet.
The meeting concluded.
Everyone already knew the outcome, but Yu Mengzhi still wanted to make a final effort.
She accompanied Wen Fulai on a tour of the company, introducing the company culture as they walked. Su Jinghui followed behind, watching the spectacle.
Wen Fulai adjusted his glasses and said with a hint of regret, "Miss Yu, I have already familiarized myself with your company's culture. It's not that it's unsuitable for me, but rather..."
He was being considerate and did not speak directly.
Yu Mengzhi seemed to have guessed his thoughts and said to Wen Fulai, "Mr. Wen, please speak your mind. Even if we cannot cooperate, Gou Chen would like to understand its shortcomings so that we can make targeted improvements in the future."
Wen Fulai looked deeply at Yu Mengzhi and nodded inwardly.
Yu Lingxiao's granddaughter was quite good, possessing strong ambition, much better than Su Jinghui standing beside her.
"There are essentially two points."
"First, Gou Chen is located in Ninghai and lacks relevant policy support. Second, Gou Chen's capital is not substantial enough to support the projects I intend to research, which require an initial investment of billions."
"As for anything else, I am quite satisfied."
Yu Mengzhi's expression saddened.
These two points were indeed Gou Chen's hard weaknesses, and they couldn't be resolved in the short term.
As the three walked down the corridor, Wen Fulai suddenly stopped in front of a promotional display. Yu Mengzhi looked at the biochemistry professor in confusion.
Soon.
Wen Fulai pointed to a photograph on the promotional poster and asked, "This person, is he employed as a security guard at your company?"
When he said this, Wen Fulai was clearly agitated.
Su Jinghui followed his gaze and took a closer look. Wasn't that Chen Jinzhao, that damned fellow?
