Miss Tan?

Tan Xiao?

Zhu Lin jolted for a moment.

He instantly understood the situation.

But there were still a few things he couldn't make sense of; Tan Xiao had only returned to the country a few days ago, so how could she mobilize such a massive amount of resources?

That's not realistic.

Doubts were doubts.

But the problem at hand still needed to be solved immediately.

He turned to his assistant and asked, "Tan Xiao... President Tan? Where is she?"

The assistant replied, "She is already in your office."

Zhu Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried up the stairs three at a time into the administrative building.

As soon as he came out from the sixth floor's elevator, he saw several deputy factory directors already waiting in the hallway.

"Who told you to come here? Get back to work, all of you!"

Zhu Lin shouted angrily.

Deputy Factory Director Bao Qiaosheng stepped forward and said, "Factory Director Zhu, it was President Tan who asked us to come."

With that sentence, his anger dissipated instantly.

He thought of entering the office directly since it was his, but when he reached the door, he hesitated for a moment and knocked.

"Come in."

Someone from inside responded.

He straightened up his appearance.

Zhu Lin pushed the door open.

On his own boss chair, Tan Xiao sat upright and proper.

By her side stood a man, and two others were positioned a short distance away.

"Hehe, Miss Tan, nice to see you," Zhu Lin greeted her timidly.

"So Factory Director Zhu does know our President Tan. Here I was thinking you didn't recognize her," said Chen Fang, standing beside her.

Zhu Lin said, "Miss Tan, it's... it's all the fault of those blind guards at the gate. I... I will fire them all in a minute, to ease Miss Tan's anger."

"And what about you? What do you have to say for yourself?" Tan Xiao suddenly asked.

Zhu Lin hastily replied, "Miss Tan, indeed, I have not handled the situation properly. I accept my punishment, but you must know that the Tianyuan Mechanical Factory is also a property of the Gao Ling Group. If the factory stops working, it would greatly affect the overall strategy of the group. In that case, I'm afraid Miss Tan would have a hard time explaining to the group, right?"

"Oh? Are you threatening me?" asked Tan Xiao.

Zhu Lin waved his hands and said, "I wouldn't dare; I'm only stating the plain truth."

Tan Xiao smiled slightly.

She said, "It seems Factory Director Zhu is indeed ready to work himself to death for the Gao Ling Group."

"Naturally. I've been with the group for many years. I was there when the chairman started his conquest, and that's why such an important factory was entrusted to me."

As he said this, Zhu Lin was clearly proud.

He was also telling Tan Xiao.

If something happened to him.

Chairman Feng Liyan would blame her too.

In that statement, there was another implication.

Without him, Zhu Lin, the factory probably wouldn't be able to continue operating.

Tan Xiao was somewhat at a loss and turned to Chen Fang, asking, "Assistant, what do you suggest we do about this?"

Chen Fang paused before stating, "I think Factory Director Zhu is indeed looking out for the group's best interests. I suggest both parties take a step back. Just hand over the factory seal, Factory Director Zhu, and that should suffice."

Hand over the seal?

Wouldn't that be like giving away the power?

Zhu Lin stiffened.

He immediately said, "That's not possible. Only the factory director can hold the seal. I can't hand it over."

Chen Fang smiled faintly and replied, "Well, if Factory Director Zhu is unwilling to hand over the seal and President Tan cannot take over the factory, then let's just destroy it all, shall we? After all, President Tan doesn't have much to lose. But it's not the same for Factory Director Zhu—you'll probably have to spend some time in prison."

After saying this.

Chen Fang added, "President Tan, let's go."

Tan Xiao was reluctant to leave.

But she trusted Chen Fang.

She had just stood up.

When Zhu Lin blurted out, "Miss Tan, I'll hand it over. I will hand over the seal."

Having said that.

He ran to the safe.

After opening it, he retrieved a box.

He respectfully presented it to Tan Xiao.

With the official seal, he essentially secured the control of the entire factory.

Chen Fang glanced at Gao Younan, and after Gao Younan opened the door, he said to the deputy directors outside, "Come on in, everyone."

Four deputy directors filed in.

Chen Fang picked up the box with the official seal, swept his gaze over the four deputy directors present, and handed the box with the official seal to Bao Qiaosheng.

"What's your name?"

Chen Fang asked.

"Bao Qiaosheng."

Chen Fang nodded and said, "From now on, you are the director of Tianyuan Mechanical Factory. The official seal is in your custody. You are fully responsible for all affairs of the factory. In addition, your previous salary will be doubled. Can you do it?"

At this moment, Bao Qiaosheng was completely stunned.

He looked at Zhu Lin incredulously.

Chen Fang continued, "You don't need to look at him. This is Tan's decision, which is equivalent to the group's decision. If you can do well, accept the official seal; if not, Tan will find someone else."

Upon hearing this,

Bao Qiaosheng took the official seal gratefully and said with tears, "Tan, rest assured, I will certainly be a good director and won't let you down."

"Bao Qiaosheng, how dare you!"

Zhu Lin roared furiously.

Bao Qiaosheng ignored Zhu Lin and turned to Chen Fang, asking, "What about Zhu Lin?"

Chen Fang smiled and said, "You are the director; you decide."

Bao Qiaosheng nodded and said, "Zhu Lin violated factory regulations and caused huge losses to the factory. According to the rules and regulations of Tianyuan Mechanical Factory, he is to be dismissed!"

"What right do you have to dismiss me?"

Zhu Lin shouted.

Bao Qiaosheng shook the official seal in his hand, saying, "Starting now, I am the director. Do you think I have the right to dismiss you?"

"I am the director, appointed by the group!"

"Tan was personally transferred here by the chairman, and her words represent the group's intentions,"

Bao Qiaosheng said firmly.

"You dare? Bao Qiaosheng, you can't touch me!"

Zhu Lin screamed in a fit of rage.

Bao Qiaosheng snorted coldly and said to the three deputy directors beside him, "Gentlemen, please help me out and drag Zhu Lin out!"

The few deputy directors exchanged glances.

After witnessing Tan Xiao's methods, they also knew that if they didn't make a wise choice now, they might lose their positions. Who to follow if not her? Besides, they were but small fish; the quarrels of higher beings wouldn't affect them. The current situation was what mattered most.

The three of them acted at the same time, each grabbing one of Zhu Lin's arms, dragging him away.

"Tan, I'm going to take care of some other matters now. Once I've handled everything, I'll come back and report to you,"

Bao Qiaosheng said.

After Tan Xiao nodded, Bao Qiaosheng opened the door and left.

As soon as he left.

Tan Xiao immediately stood up, turned to Chen Fang, and asked, "We just got the official seal, why did you give it to someone else? What if this Bao Qiaosheng is Zhu Lin's man?"

Chen Fang smiled.

He said, "Even if he was before, he is no longer now."

"Why?"

Tan Xiao asked.

Chen Fang looked at the puzzled Tan Xiao and asked, "Miss Tan, if Bao Qiaosheng was Zhu Lin's man, what was the reason for him to side with Zhu Lin?"

"Naturally, for the sake of benefits."

"Exactly, do you think the benefits he got from siding with Zhu Lin surpass the benefits he gets as the director himself?"

"Of course, being the director himself is more beneficial." Tan Xiao replied without hesitation.

Chen Fang nodded slightly and said, "That's right. As long as Zhu Lin is here, Bao Qiaosheng has no chance of promotion, but by taking a gamble, he is now the director. Starting from now, you are his only backer, and he will definitely be loyal to you."

Tan Xiao was taken aback by what Chen Fang said.

She murmured, "How can this be? I've studied management for four years. Was it all in vain?"

"This isn't about management."

"Then what is it?"

"This is the art of controlling people handed down by our ancestors. It is called 'using stones from other mountains to polish the jade.'"

Chen Fang said with a smile.

Although she still didn't fully understand,

the help from Chen Fang, after all, had achieved the goal.

Tan Xiao took a deep breath and asked Chen Fang, "What's your name?"

"My name is Chen Fang!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Tan Xiao's gaze suddenly filled with hate.

She asked Chen Fang, "Are you Chen Fang, the son of Chen Zhiguo?"
