Chapter 5: The General Manager of The Longteng Group Was Shocked: Fire Jiang Ye? I Don’t Have the Authority!:
The bald man walked out with a look of utter despair on his face. Jiang Cheng glanced up at him. He knew this man well. Before their paths crossed, this man was a street thug, constantly getting into fights.
Jiang Cheng saw potential in his brute strength and took him under his wing. Since then, the bald man had done many shady things on Jiang Cheng’s behalf.
“Alright, you. Give me your bank account number.” Jiang Cheng said.
Hearing this, the bald man’s face lit up with joy. He knew that being charged with intentional injury could land him up to 10 years in prison, but in his mind, 10 years in exchange for 5 million yuan was worth it. He figured he could live comfortably for the rest of his life, and he didn’t feel the least bit guilty. If necessary, he’d even cripple others for enough money from Jiang Cheng.
Soon, Jiang Cheng learned Jiang Ye’s home address through Jiang Tianhua’s secretary. Since the secretary had driven to Jiang Ye’s house that day, he had the information readily available. After getting the address, Jiang Cheng ordered his men to take action.

Meanwhile, at the Longteng Group, the general manager was in the middle of a serious company meeting. Though the company wasn’t publicly listed, it was still sizeable, with more than 50 employees. The usually friendly general manager wore a stern expression.
He began, “There’s one reason I’ve called this meeting. I need to inform you all that Longteng Group has been completely acquired. Our new chairman will be arriving soon.”
A wave of shock spread through the room. The company, worth 80 million yuan, had been bought out? And no one had even heard a rumor? Whoever acquired them must be a major player!
The general manager could see the surprise on the employees’ faces, but he understood their reaction. He himself was still stunned.
According to the information he’d received, the new chairman was someone who had only recently applied for a job at the company. A fresh recruit had bought out the entire company?
Could this be some new trend among the super-rich, pretending to be regular employees?
He was utterly baffled.
As the general manager finished speaking, the employees began whispering among themselves. Just then, the meeting room door swung open. Startled, the general manager quickly stood up.
Could this be the new chairman?
But when he saw who entered, his face darkened in confusion.
“Who are you? Who let you in?” He barked.
The man ignored the general manager and walked straight into the room. Looking around, he announced, “I’m Wu Hui, the personal secretary to Mr. Jiang Tianhua, chairman of the Tianhua Group.”
The room went silent. Tianhua Group was the second-largest company in the city, ranked 33rd nationwide, with a market value in the hundreds of billions. And Wu Hui, as Jiang Tianhua’s private secretary, was a well-known figure. What was he doing here at Longteng Group?
The general manager was equally stunned.
Everyone in the city knew who Jiang Tianhua was. After a brief hesitation, he pulled out his phone to verify Wu Hui’s identity. Two minutes later, it was confirmed.
Seeing the general manager’s reaction, Wu Hui wasted no time. “I’m here to ask that the Longteng Group fire Jiang Ye. Mr. Jiang Tianhua has made it clear: anyone in this city who hires Jiang Ye will be considered an enemy of Tianhua Group.”
The employees were stunned once again. Murmurs spread through the room.
“What on earth did Jiang Ye do to bring Jiang Tianhua’s secretary here in person?”
“Did you hear that? If anyone in the city hires Jiang Ye, they’ll be going up against Tianhua Group! He’s basically been blacklisted from the entire city.”
“Poor guy… Offending such a powerful figure is something ordinary people like us should avoid.”
“I mean, the general manager is great, but there’s no way he’s going to stand up to Tianhua Group for an employee.”
“Yeah, Jiang Ye’s been nice to us, but there’s no way he can survive this. He’s finished.”
The employees, who had always found Jiang Ye to be a kind person, couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. But they knew there was no future for him here after angering someone as powerful as Jiang Tianhua.
Just as everyone was feeling pity for Jiang Ye, the general manager spoke up, looking a bit awkward.
“Mr. Wu, I’m afraid I don’t have the authority to fire Jiang Ye,” he said.
Wu Hui’s eyebrows furrowed. “You don’t have the authority to fire a regular employee? Are you kidding me?”
The general manager sighed. “Jiang Ye isn’t a regular employee. He recently acquired our entire company. He’s now our new chairman.”
