At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

"Wu Qi, Director of the Personnel Department of the group, has long been exploiting his position to embezzle resources and use his influence to place his friends and relatives in key positions within the group."

The work of demotion and reassignment had just begun, and Chen Qiao's face was already as cold as ice.

Everyone could feel the anger in his words as he read through the document.

Wu Qi, who was named, turned pale instantly, squirming on his chair; seeing everyone's eyes on him, he wished he could flee the conference room right then.

But unknown when, four tall and robust security guards had been stationed at the entrance of the meeting room.

"I… I… Chairman…" Wu Qi started to stand up to retort, but stuttered for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence.

Because he had no reason whatsoever to defend himself.

Some of the older employees, who had good relations with Wu Qi, thought it was unlikely.

But now seeing Wu Qi's hesitant appearance, everyone knew full well.

Some shook their heads, some looked tense, and others gloated.

At this critical juncture, everyone had their own schemes, but no matter what their thoughts were, the overarching idea now was to dissociate themselves from Wu Qi.

"Hu Bei… help me explain…" Wu Qi looked around and eventually his gaze settled on a thin, tall man wearing black-framed glasses, with sunken eyes.

However, the man moved his chair further away from Wu Qi, as if he had encountered a plague, upon hearing his plea for help.

"You seeking help from Minister Hu won't do any good. Minister Hu can hardly save himself now."

Chen Qiao observed Wu Qi helplessly seeking help from around the room and said coldly.

Hu Bei's face also turned deathly pale.

He glared viciously at Wu Qi, blaming him for implicating him.

With no way to defend himself, Wu Qi could only admit his guilt.

He leaned forwards on the table with both hands, his body half bent as if he was kowtowing and pleading with Chen Qiao: "Chairman, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I thought I'd never dare again."

This man, who was already fifty-eight years old, now looked like a child sobbing and sniffling.

"Humph, you think I've always been unaware of the crap you've been up to? I've been turning a blind eye, but you've become more and more presumptuous."

"Even filling half of the logistics department's positions with your friends and relatives, letting them wildly embezzle resources."

Chen Qiao snorted coldly, listing off Wu Qi's crimes one by one.

If it weren't for his own people monitoring logistics, he couldn't dare to believe someone could be so bold.

Initially, using his position to place a few of his own people in the company wasn't considered a serious issue.

Practically every large company has such behavior.

Generally, as long as it doesn't affect the overall operations of the company, the upper management tends to turn a blind eye.

But for Wu Qi, he started by placing his nephew in logistics in charge of equipment procurement, and when he found no one reported him, he pulled in all his aunts and uncles into the group.

Nearly sixty percent of the group's procurement was monopolized by Wu Qi's relatives.

Even the group's cafeteria was not spared from Wu Qi's arrangements.

No one knew how much company funds these people were skimming daily.

After he discovered this, he specifically assigned some of his own logistics staff to monitor the situation and secretly gather evidence.

The more evidence he collected, the more alarmed he became.

In just one year, the procurement quotations of the logistics department had doubled from last year's!

This meant that procurement funds amounting to over ten million had nearly all gone into Wu Qi and his friends' and relatives' pockets.

This appetite, undoubtedly, was insatiable.

Previously, he hadn't taken action against these old-timers completely because his father protected them, believing that since these veterans had followed the company for many years, letting them benefit a bit was harmless.

But now, he guessed his father would have never anticipated that these formerly loyal associates could commit such outrageous acts.

"Oh my father… I wonder what you would think if you saw your once most loyal subordinates committing such acts."

Chen Qiao silently shook his head internally.

His father was indeed very capable, still in control of the overall situation even approaching seventy years old.

But his father's one major flaw was being too sentimental!

So, having no other choice, he had to forcefully seize power, only then could he thoroughly reform Shengda Group.

He hoped his father would understand his difficulties.

After reflecting for a while, Chen Qiao's gaze returned to Wu Qi.

"Saying anything now is useless. I declare the removal of Wu Qi from the position of Director of the Personnel Department. The position will remain vacant temporarily, to be re-appointed during the next quarter's promotion elections."

Chen Qiao decisively decided on Wu Qi's punishment.

Hearing that he was being removed from his position, Wu Qi slumped into his chair, his face ashen.

Two of the security guards at the door stepped forward and forcefully escorted him out.

From now on, in the vast Shengda Group, Wu Qi would have no place to stay, and would be utterly disgraced.

Seeing Wu Qi being forcefully escorted out of the meeting room, Hu Bei suddenly began to tremble all over.

Chen Qiao glanced at him but did not immediately mention him, and continued to flip through documents.

In the following hour, it was an ordeal for everyone present.

In just one hour, five managers at the group level or higher had been removed from their positions.
