Chapter 399: Immediately Fired!
The security guard's face turned deathly pale; the person he had just tried to drive away was actually the new chairman! He had hit a wall this time.
"Chairman, we've been expecting you for a long time!"
The middle-aged man said with a warm smile, his attitude extremely respectful.
This middle-aged man was a senior board member of Wanjin Company and trusted by Feng Ruolan. To avoid any obstacles for Lin Fan, Feng Ruolan had sent Lin Fan's photo to this middle-aged man.
Therefore, the middle-aged man recognized Lin Fan at a glance and was the first to come over and greet him.
Seeing this, the other board members quickly came over to greet him as well, striving to be first, fearing they would be late.
One of the board members looked up at Lin Fan, and his expression changed suddenly. He exclaimed, "Chairman, are you Mr. Lin?"
The new richest man in Yun City, Mr. Lin!
Mortal Group, with a market value of 200 billion, dominated Yun City!
The name of Mr. Lin was almost universally known, but not many had the opportunity to meet him. Yun City was so big, with millions of people, and not everyone had seen Lin Fan.
But there were those who, having seen a photo of Lin Fan, would recognize him, like this board member.
What?
Mr. Lin?
Everyone present was astonished.
Could their new chairman really be the new richest man in Yun City, the legendary mysterious magnate Mr. Lin?
"Hello everyone, I am Lin Fan,"
Lin Fan said with a slight smile. If no one had recognized him, he wouldn't have said so proactively, but since someone did recognize him, he didn't conceal it.
He admitted it himself; there could be no mistake now.
Everyone was stunned.
The security guard's face turned ashen, and he knelt on the spot.
He had offended not only Wanjin's new chairman but also the richest man in Yun City!
"Chairman, Mr. Lin, I failed to recognize greatness, I am really blind as a bat. I rely on this job to support my family. Please forgive me this once?" The security guard sobbed and snot running, immediately slapping himself several times.
Everyone coldly watched, and no one sympathized. This guy offended Mr. Lin; isn't he asking for trouble!
Lin Fan said calmly, "Stopping suspicious individuals is a security guard's duty. You've done well in that. But the words you used were disrespectful; you can change that in the future. Even the poor should be respected. Looking down on people is unacceptable."
The security guard quickly said, "Yes, Mr. Lin, your advice is right. I know my mistake now."
Lin Fan said, "Get up and continue your work."
Saying this, Lin Fan walked into the company.
The security guard was overjoyed; Mr. Lin actually didn't fire him. He kept kowtowing, full of gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Lin!"
This incident was enough for him to boast for a lifetime; in the future, he would praise Mr. Lin's magnanimity to everyone he met.
The company's staff also respected him deeply; Mr. Lin's broad-mindedness truly left them in awe.
At this moment, everyone also understood why Feng Ruolan had made a move and dismissed Zhao Jiasheng. With the richest man in Yun City, Mr. Lin, involved, it was not surprising at all.
For a moment, the board members surrounded Lin Fan, entered the company, completed the welcoming ceremony, and Lin Fan officially entered Wanjin Group.
Shortly afterward, a figure hurried to Wanjin Company.
Zhao Feng!
Zhao Feng had been called away by Zhao Jiasheng with a phone call last night. On the call, Zhao Jiasheng told Zhao Feng that he was no longer the chairman of Wanjin.
Zhao Feng was greatly alarmed and immediately went home. He wanted to know why.
But Zhao Jiasheng couldn't give him an answer because Zhao Jiasheng himself didn't know the reason and decided to go directly to Feng Ruolan the next day.
Zhao Feng was also worried about his position in the company. Zhao Jiasheng told him that his position should be fine and that he could continue to work.
Currently, Zhao Feng was the investment manager at Wanjin Company.
Zhao Feng was relieved after getting this answer, so he continued to go to work today.
Zhao Feng arrived at the company reception but was stopped by the receptionist.
"I'm sorry, Manager Zhao, you cannot enter the company now," the receptionist said.
Zhao Feng was taken aback, "Why?"
The receptionist replied, "You've just been dismissed by the company. The HR department will notify you officially soon. You are no longer a company employee and cannot enter the office area."
Zhao Feng was shocked, "What? Who fired me? Who the hell can fire me!"
The receptionist was somewhat sympathetic, "It's the new chairman."
This situation was quite surprising from the receptionist's perspective, according to the gossip she gathered.
The new chairman, upon entering the company, casually asked the head of the HR department if Zhao Feng held any position in the company.
When he learned Zhao Feng was the investment manager, the new chairman instructed the HR head to fire Zhao Feng.
The new chairman made this decision in less than a second.
Zhao Feng was puzzled to death, "Who is this new chairman, and why do they want to fire me? I want to meet him!"
The receptionist said, "How about this, Manager Zhao? I'll call and ask. If the chairman refuses to see you, please leave quietly, okay? As former colleagues, I don't want to make things too awkward by calling the security guard."
Zhao Feng said, "Okay, go ahead and call."
The receptionist then made a call to the chairman's office, "Secretary Xu, Manager Zhao Feng would like to see the chairman. Could you please inquire with the chairman?"
A moment later, the receptionist hung up the phone and said, "The chairman said you may see him, Manager Zhao. You can go in."
Zhao Feng hurried in.
This sudden dismissal left him frustrated; he didn't even know who the new chairman was. Why did the new chairman choose to fire him out of everyone? He needed to find out.
Quickly arriving at the chairman's office, he found the door open and walked straight in.
Secretary Xu had just stepped out for a moment; there was only one person sitting in the chairman's seat—shockingly, it was Lin Fan!
"It's you, what are you doing here?" Zhao Feng exclaimed in shock. This was completely beyond his expectations.
This man had been seen only last night, Wei Qingxue's courier husband!
Lin Fan smiled and said, "You're here."
Zhao Feng angrily said, "I ask what you're doing here, you trash! Do you know this is the chairman's office? What are you doing sitting in the chairman's seat? Get lost now!"
The chairman's position was originally held by his father, Zhao Jiasheng. Although it had changed hands now, not just anyone could sit in the chairman's seat, especially not someone from the lower class like Lin Fan.
Lin Fan wasn't angry, he said, "I know, that's why I'm sitting here."
Zhao Feng scolded, "How did you sneak in here, you trash? Did you actually listen to what I said last night and come here to apply for a cleaning job? Are you wandering into the chairman's office to steal something?"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "You have already been dismissed, so this doesn't seem to concern you, does it?"
Zhao Feng said, "How does it not concern me? If I catch you, the thief, the chairman will surely appreciate it and revoke the dismissal. Wait... how do you know I was dismissed?"
Zhao Feng suddenly sensed something was off. Lin Fan was way too calm, if he were truly a thief, how could he be this composed!
"Chairman Lin, here's your cup of water."
At this moment, Secretary Xu came in with a cup of hot water, placing it in front of Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took the cup and smiled, "Thank you."
What? Secretary Xu called Lin Fan Chairman Lin?
Could it be...
A thought popped into Zhao Feng's mind, and he was utterly shocked.
