"Minister, this time it’s clearly your own mistake. We all said, absolutely don’t cooperate with that private company, but you didn’t listen at all. You went your own way, how can you blame all of this on the assistant? Besides, the president is so wise, he will definitely find out."

"Exactly, Minister, you can’t take out all your anger on us. You personally signed that document, and we don’t know what kind of tricks you pulled in there. You even went alone to talk with the other company’s chairman multiple times."

"Anyway, you’re no longer with our company, and you don’t have the right to hit our people, so please leave."

Wang Wei heard this, incredulous, and couldn’t believe these employees, who usually were so obedient, were now betraying him one by one. Panic-stricken, he didn’t know what to say, so he grabbed a nearby chair and smashed it towards a nearby employee. The employee didn’t see it coming and was immediately hit, bleeding from the head.

The person squatted on the ground, and other colleagues immediately called an ambulance, while controlling Wang Wei one by one.

Other departments saw such a big situation happening in the project department. One by one, they looked over, and at that moment, Wang Wei was just like a beast being kept in a cage, snapping at everyone.

"What are you looking at? Laughing at me, Wang Wei? Let me tell you, I have quite a few connections in the branch’s board, and I have my connections at Headquarters too. What’s that chairman anyway?"

"Did he just get the president position through some woman’s connections? He has no ability, and now he even denies my plan. You all wait and see!"

After saying this, he wanted to leave, but now how could the project department people easily let Wang Wei go? So they all blocked Wang Wei, no longer afraid of him.

"I think now it’s not easy for you to leave after hitting someone. Look at how badly he is hurt because of you. You have to pay for the medical expenses!"

Seeing his former subordinates now turned his biggest enemies, Wang Wei found it unbelievable how everyone had suddenly become like this.

"Get lost, I’m not paying those medical expenses. It’s his own fault. And if any of you dare to block me again, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

At this moment, Wang Wei was virtually a madman, and no one dared to approach, so everyone could only retreat one by one.

Wang Wei picked up his phone, directly rushed to the company entrance, hailed a cab, and went to find his old friends.

Colleagues in the project department were really in a dilemma. Though their monthly salary was precious to them, it wasn’t meant to be spent like this. Moreover, the injured colleague didn’t do anything to deserve being hit by Wang Wei, so the medical expenses surely couldn’t be borne by anyone else. At this moment, everyone was at their wits’ end, unable to think of any solutions.

So now, all of them were frowning in distress. When Xu Ke came down for lunch, he saw a crowd gathered in the project department.

"Why are you all gathered here? It’s already noon now. Why aren’t you eating? Taking care of your health is most important."

After hearing Xu Ke’s words, everyone gathered around and explained what had just happened.

Xu Ke sneered, surprised at how hateful Wang Wei had become, no different from those street thugs.

But as the saying goes, the road to truth is fraught with obstacles, so what if Wang Wei is like this?

"No problem. The medical expenses will be deducted from Wang Wei’s salary, and he hasn’t settled his accounts with the company yet. I’ll talk to finance about it, so just take good care of your injured colleague. I’ll find someone to take over during this time. Don’t have any extra ideas or cause any more trouble; otherwise, I won’t be polite with you."

After Xu Ke finished speaking, he left with his hands in his pockets, and the project department people finally breathed a sigh of relief because the medical expenses were settled, although the issue wasn’t entirely resolved.

The finance department was especially clear; they remembered the fierce battle for the minister position, but the president unexpectedly parachuted someone into the role. Looking at the project department now, they felt like they were seeing their own predicament reflected.

"Don’t overthink it. The president already considered this position thoroughly. Don’t be fooled by the president’s absence from the company every day; he knows more than anyone else. Any moves you plan to make are impossible."

"Yeah, back then, our finance department fought hard for the minister position, but in the end, the president used his discerning eye to parachute Minister Zhu in. And Minister Zhu’s capabilities made us sincerely convinced."

The people from the project department finally understood the president’s words. Apparently, the president hadn’t intended for the project department to hold the minister position. Now, they could only work hard and welcome the new minister.

So, at this moment, one by one, they dispersed to eat lunch, and those with good relations with the injured colleague even formed a group to visit him after work.

Sure enough, the next day, the board members showed up like a rebellion, directly at the company, and even ignored Secretary Zhou, flaunting their seniority. These board members rarely came by, but when they did, they were unstoppable.

These board members were old directors, and even when the old chairman was around, he dared not complain about these shareholders and had to appease them.

Secretary Zhou was particularly worried at this moment, cautiously entering the office. Their voices were especially loud, and even with the office’s good soundproofing, they could still be heard faintly.

"President, many directors have already arrived today, saying they want to hold a meeting and want you to personally attend. Do you want to go? Those directors are waiting, and Wang Wei, who was dismissed yesterday, is here too."

Xu Ke signed his name, neatly finishing, then placed his pen into the pen holder. Looking at Secretary Zhou, Secretary Zhou’s words were clear — these stockholders were obviously here for Wang Wei. Who would have thought Wang Wei was involved with these shareholders? That’s excellent news.

"Since they’re here, naturally we need to take a look. I just hope they can handle it. Alright, let’s go. Also, no need to bring anything, just have someone open the meeting room."

Secretary Zhou froze momentarily. Clearly, Wang Wei came prepared, but the president really hadn’t prepared anything. What would happen now? Although very anxious, there was no other way at the moment, so he tightly followed the president.

When Xu Ke came out, Wang Wei’s face instantly turned gloomy.
