Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

If Zhou Kanglong were to expose this, losing a major client would be the least of our problems. Once the media gets wind of it and starts sensationalizing the matter, the consequences would be severe.

Yimena Group using beauty to secure orders would be an absolute scandal.

What do listed companies fear the most? Negative news like this.

By then, even if only this one order within Yimena's portfolio was tainted, people couldn't help but wonder if Yimena's other orders were also obtained through such improper means.

Once investors lose confidence, Yimena's stock will plummet like running water, and the losses to Yimena would definitely be in the hundreds of millions.

Not only did Su Chen dissipate this disaster into nothingness, securing the livelihood of countless people in the sales department, but he also doubled the business orders between Kanglong Group and Yimena Group. Is this merely a minor contribution?

If this is considered minor, then I'm afraid nothing could be called a major contribution.

Of course, it was wrong to engage in physical violence. At this moment, Zheng Aojiao stood on the moral high ground to criticize Su Chen, focusing on the wrongdoing of violence, her words so convincing it was hard to refute.

However, Su Chen had no intention of refuting. He offered a mocking smile and said, "So, how does the manager plan to punish me?"

"According to company policy, those who engage in violence in the company, in the most severe cases, are to be dismissed! Your actions not only severely violated company discipline but also caused psychological trauma to the staff. The circumstances are extremely serious," Zheng Aojiao declared loudly.

Su Chen's smile deepened, "So what you're saying is, the manager plans to fire me?"

"According to the rules, you should indeed be dismissed. However, considering your contributions today, you will not be fired. Write a 10,000-word reflection and publicly apologize to Du Ling, as well as pay a fine of 5,000 yuan. Let's consider the matter closed," Zheng Aojiao said with an air of official business.

Zheng Aojiao herself knew that today Su Chen had made a tremendous contribution and it was absolutely impossible to fire him. Thus, she sought an alternative, asking Su Chen to write a reflection and apologize.

"Manager, I think we can skip the fine and the reflection. Just have Su Chen apologize to Du Ling," suggested Qin Keren.

Su Chen had averted such a major crisis for the sales department. In fact, Qin Keren's stance was not to punish Su Chen at all, but since Zheng Aojiao had already spoken to this point, as the director of the sales department, Qin Keren had to deal with the matter in an official capacity.

After all, it was just an apology, and it wouldn't cause Su Chen any real loss.

Yet, Su Chen simply smiled lightly, "I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm in the wrong, so I refuse to apologize."

"Su Chen, don't bite the hand that feeds you. If you don't apologize, then I'll have to report this to the president for a decision," Zheng Aojiao said with a grim face.

The president was even stricter about company management, and if the president heard of this, Su Chen would be definitely fired.

"Fine, report it to the president then. You might as well tell the president about all the dodgy dealings you've been doing behind the scenes. I'm confident the president will handle it fairly," Su Chen responded to Zheng Aojiao's threat without fear, even smiling.

Hearing this, Zheng Aojiao's face turned pale instantly.

If even this were to reach the president, even if Su Chen really got fired, she probably wouldn't be faring much better.

"Don't forget, you're also part of the sales department. If the president assigns blame, you won't be able to escape it either!" Zheng Aojiao said through clenched teeth, though her tone had already softened significantly.

Su Chen crossed his arms over his chest, indifferent, "Why should I run from responsibility? If I made a mistake, then it's on me. If the president wants to punish me, let her punish me."

Facing the imperturbable Su Chen, Zheng Aojiao was utterly helpless. She couldn't possibly let the president know about this. After all, it wasn't her who was hit, so there was no need to harm her own future for a mere salesperson.

"Alright, Su Chen, we'll consider this incident as your merits offsetting your faults, and we won't pursue it further," Zheng Aojiao said through gritted teeth.

It seems there was no way to make things difficult for Su Chen this time.

"Then I really should thank you, Manager. However... just because you're not pursuing it doesn't mean I won't. I hit someone; indeed, that was my fault, and I will personally apologize to the president. But, Manager, with such a significant oversight in your work this time, do you really think we can just let it go?" Su Chen said with a playful smile.

"Su Chen, if the president really learns about this, not only me, but even Supervisor Qin Keren won't be able to escape responsibility," Zheng Aojiao's expression changed, not expecting Su Chen to pull such a move.

But she also noticed that Qin Keren had an unusual relationship with Su Chen, so Zheng Aojiao brought up Qin Keren.

With a smile, Su Chen said, "Manager, rest assured, I definitely won't tell the president. After all, we all rely on this job to make a living."

Hearing Su Chen wouldn't tell the president, Zheng Aojiao breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As long as she doesn't tell the president, it's all fine.

"Hey, but Manager, you've also said that our company's system is strict, and as a manager, you naturally have to lead by example. With such a serious incident, you as the manager can't shirk the blame," Su Chen said with a feigned sigh. Content presented by MV|LEMP|YR.

"What are you implying?" Zheng Aojiao frowned.

"The company's rules must be strictly enforced. For contributions, rewards; for faults, punishments. Clear distinction between reward and punishment aligns with the company's long-term development strategy. Don't you agree, Manager?" Su Chen winked at Zheng Aojiao.

Zheng Aojiao was instantly flustered; weren't these the words she had just said to Su Chen?

"Manager, I also know you really care for your subordinates and surely can't bear to see them punished with you, so why don't you take the punishment upon yourself?" Seeing Zheng Aojiao at a loss for words, Su Chen continued.

Zheng Aojiao was almost going berserk. If she took all the responsibility, wouldn't that make her the ultimate scapegoat?

Not only was she unable to get Su Chen punished, but she herself ended up being punished?

At that moment, Zheng Aojiao truly felt like crying but had no tears.

Why did she have to encounter such a little devil?

"So, what do you think, Manager? Have you decided whether to take the responsibility yourself or to report this matter to the president?" Su Chen continued to twist the knife with a smile.

Zheng Aojiao's expression changed several times, and finally, she said through clenched teeth, "Fine, I'll take the responsibility!"

Zheng Aojiao knew she had been thoroughly set up this time. Had she known it would turn out like this, she wouldn't have helped Du Ling.

She didn't get any mutton, and now she's caught in a mess!

"Supervisor Qin Keren, now that the manager has volunteered to take responsibility, don't you think it's time to announce the decision on the punishment?" Su Chen said, batting his eyes at Qin Keren with a smile.
