Cao Shaowei looked at Madam Xie and Xie Wenkai. When his gaze landed on Xie Wenkai, there was actually a hint of relief in his eyes.
The meeting room remained silent for more than ten seconds. Madam Xie and Xie Wenkai looked at each other. Xie Wenkai suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Oh, that’s right. I’m the executive vice president. I don’t think there’s a need for the Board of Directors to decide on the matter of firing the head and deputy head of the Security Department.”
The reason why Madam Xie and Xie Wenkai quarreled was because of this small matter. Xie Wenkai indeed had the right to fire people. Even though security was very important to a jewelry company like the Six Blessings Corporation, he only wanted to fire the head and deputy head of the Security Department. At most, they were considered part of the basic management of the Six Blessings Corporation, not the senior management. Their immediate superior, the vice president who was responsible for supervising security matters, was the senior management! The real problem was that the head of the security department, Wang Xu, and the deputy head, Yang Ya, were both Madam Xie’s confidantes.
Wang Xu was the person in charge of the internal security matters of the Six Blessings Corporation. As for the deputy head, Yang Ya, he was not actually in charge of the Six Blessings Corporation but was in charge of the Xie family’s security matters. He was the bodyguard who had once stopped Zhou Jingyun and Jiang Tong at the alley entrance and was slapped by Zhou Jingyun. Madam Xie was a very controlling person. Wang Xu and Yang Ya had long been her confidantes. One was in charge of helping her monitor the situation in the company. The other one was helped her monitor her family and her son so that she could better control Xie Wenkai. Everyone knew that Wang Xu and Yang Ya were Madam Xie’s confidantes, but now Xie Wenkai wanted to fire them, and he was adamant on it!
“Fire Wang Xu and Yang Ya. It’s settled then.” After Xie Wenkai finished speaking, he turned his head and said to the secretary behind him, “Inform the personnel department after the meeting is over.”
“How dare you?!” Madam Xie angrily rebuked Xie Wenkai again.
“Why wouldn’t I dare to do so?” Xie Wenkai looked at Madam Xie and directly asked. According to the company’s regulations and rights, no one could stop Xie Wenkai from doing this unless Xie Guofu suddenly returned.
Madam Xie stared at Xie Wenkai for a full ten seconds, then she suddenly sat down. However, she still said to Xie Wenkai with an icy expression, “Why do you want to fire them? What did they do wrong? You fired them for no reason. If this matter goes to labor arbitration, the company is in the wrong. If it goes on the news, do you know how much it will affect the company’s reputation? As the executive vice president of the Six Blessings Corporation, how can you do such a thing that will damage the company’s reputation and interests? Can you bear the consequences?”
Madam Xie had been forced by Xie Wenkai to start reasoning with him! She absolutely could not let Xie Wenkai fire them. She had to suppress Xie Wenkai, who was going to rebel today! Moreover, what she said was reasonable. After saying that, she looked at Xie Wenkai and added, “Xie Wenkai, don’t think that you can turn the sky upside down just because your father isn’t here.”
“I’m not firing Wang Xu and Yang Ya for no reason. I have a reason,” Xie Wenkai said immediately. He really had a reason. Jiang Tong had told him before they went to bed yesterday that he should launch an attack on Madam Xie using Wang Xu and Yang Ya. Jiang Tong had also told him the reasonable reason to fire Wang Xu and Yang Ya.
“A reason?” Madam Xie was so angry that she laughed. She looked at Xie Wenkai and said, “Then tell me. Let everyone hear what reason you have to fire two people who didn’t do anything wrong.” Madam Xie had already decided today that she was going to embarrass Xie Wenkai! She was also glad that this was just a regular executive meeting, not a group meeting, nor a board meeting or shareholders’ meeting. The situation was different, so the negative impact of the conflict between the mother and son would be different. She had to control the impact to the minimum and then nip Xie Wenkai’s rebellious heart in the bud!
“There’s nothing wrong with Wang Xu and Yang Ya,” Xie Wenkai said.
“That’s right. Do you still want to fire Wang Xu and Yang Ya?” Madam Xie slammed the table and stood up.
“But firing Wang Xu and Yang Ya doesn’t have to be directly related to whether or not they made a mistake,” Xie Wenkai said again.
“What a joke. What kind of logic is this? How can you be so reckless?” Not only did Madam Xie refute Xie Wenkai, but she also wanted to stir up the emotions of all the senior executives present. This was because she knew that Xie Wenkai did not need the Board of Directors to decide on firing two middle-level managers, and it couldn’t be brought to the shareholders’ meeting. Xie Wenkai really had the right to fire them directly!
