At that moment, Ye Jingyi and Gong Lin exchanged glances and both let out a bitter laugh.

"If only we had known how easily this guy would have resolved it, why did we bother worrying so much?!"

"We... really brought it on ourselves!"

Ye Jingyi and Gong Lin both sighed.

Jiang Chen reached out his arms and wrapped the two women in an embrace, speaking tenderly, "I am your man, it's my duty to solve difficulties for you. From now on, whether the company faces troubles or you face harassment and issues, you must not hide it from me again, understand?"

"Uh-huh!"

"We won't!"

The two women nodded in agreement.

"Now that's a man!"

"Exactly, no wonder the president and Director Gong are willing to follow the CEO. This is what a real man is!"

"Right, if a man treated me like that, I'd be willing to marry him too!"

A group of employees spoke enviously.

Glancing at the employees, Jiang Chen announced in a loud voice, "Every employee who did not abandon the company during its difficult times will have their salary and bonus doubled this year! Those who abandoned the company will never be hired again!"

"Wow!"

"Thank you, CEO!"

"CEO is mighty!"

"Thank you, CEO!"

"CEO, I want to have your babies!"

"Get lost! The CEO has the president, Director Gong, and Miss Ye, does he need you?!"

"Right right right, I was wrong, CEO. Please don't dock my bonus!"

The employees shouted out with joy, and those who were star-struck started to get carried away.

Pfft!

"Hahaha!"

Ye Jingyi and others couldn't help but laugh out loud, their worries from this period had been completely washed away!

Seeing the smiles on the two women's faces, Jiang Chen felt warmth in his heart. He knew that the two women didn't tell him because they didn't want to worry him. This kindness, he would repay with his life!

"Let's go, let's go up and talk. I want to see who the hell dares to touch my company!" Jiang Chen called out, leading everyone toward the elevator.

The group entered the elevator, and Yan Hu pressed the button for the top floor.

Li Wuji and another did not enter but stood waiting at the elevator entrance for the doors to close.

Whew!

As the elevator doors closed, the two let out a long sigh of relief.

"We really are... such bastards!" Li Wuji said with a face full of regret.

Zhang Wushang nodded, "We still haven't gotten our roles right, we cannot go on like this. If Mr. Jiang really throws us out, I... I don't know about others, but I certainly wouldn't be able to forgive myself. Seppuku would be the only way to apologize!"

"Who isn't! Mr. Jiang has been so gracious to us! We can never fully repay this debt in our lifetimes!"

Li Wuji uttered with a sigh, taking one more glance at the elevator doors before speaking softly, "Let's go, let's go back and deal properly with those bastards!"

...

Ding!

The elevator reached the top floor, and everyone walked out.

"Let's go to the conference room, the company's senior executives are all waiting there," Ye Jingyi spoke softly.

"Alright!" Jiang Chen nodded, and the group made their way to the conference room.

Inside the conference room.

There were two empty seats at the head of the table, with more than a dozen men and women seated on either side, all of whom looked somewhat weary.

"What were President Ye and President Gong doing?" the man seated at the head of the table on the right side asked discontentedly.

Sitting at the head on the left side was Yi Chen's elder, Zhou Qing, who was now the First Vice President of Yi Chen Group.

Zhou Qing looked up at the man across from him and said indifferently, "Mr. Zhang, do President Ye and the others need to report to you about what they're doing?"

"President Zhou, isn't there something wrong with what you're saying? We're all waiting here, and they just ran out after receiving a phone call. Shouldn't they have informed us?" Mr. Zhang spoke arrogantly in succession.

"Mr. Zhang, with the company in its current situation, President Ye and the others are much more anxious than we are. If they had to leave at this time, there must be a reason. Instead of speculating here about what President Ye and the others are doing, why don't we think about what we should do next?" Zhou Qing said sternly.

Mr. Zhang scoffed dismissively, "How to deal with it? What else can we do? The company is already in this state, what's there to cope with? Everyone should think about their own future instead!"

"What do you mean, Zhang Zhengyan?" Zhou Qing's eyebrows furrowed, and she barked out loud.

"What do I mean, doesn't President Zhou know?"

That Zhang Zhengyan sneered disdainfully and said meaningfully, "How long has the company been in financial deficit? You all keep saying you have a solution, but where is it? Just dragging everyone along, are you trying to play us for fools?"

"You... The company will definitely not run into trouble. President Ye has already notified the chairman, and there's nothing the chairman can't solve!" Zhou Qing said with conviction.

"The chairman?! Hah!"

Zhang Zhengyan scoffed sarcastically, "How many times has the chairman visited the company? I've never even seen our so-called legendary chairman; it seems to me he doesn't care about the company at all!"

"Indifferent to the fate of the company, he acts impulsively. The company was vigorously developing the energy sector, but with one phone call, he halted several very promising projects to focus on acquiring a pharmaceutical company."

"What's the situation with the pharmaceutical company now? Everyone knows how tightly Flame Dragon controls it. Acquiring pharmaceutical companies, especially at no cost, is simply outrageous!"

Hearing Zhang Zhengyan's biting sarcasm, Zhou Qing became furious: "Zhang Zhengyan! What right do you have to speak about the chairman?!"

With that, Zhou Qing had already stood up and yelled indignantly at Zhang Zhengyan:

"The chairman may not come to the company often, but if everything needs the chairman's involvement, then what's our purpose? Since the establishment of Yi Chen, which of the chairman's decisions hasn't greatly accelerated the company's development?"

"Before the 4G launch, the chairman acquired several online platforms, and everyone was saying the chairman was being reckless. But what happened? The popularization of 4G directly made Yi Chen the leader of the Flame Dragon Network Company."

"Following that, the chairman greatly developed the courier and logistics business, along with the online shopping platform. What about now? The whole of Flame Dragon is shopping online!"

"Who initiated the company's development in energy? It was the chairman. When we encountered difficulties with mining, the chairman personally stepped in, not only securing the diamond mine but also getting the exclusive rights as the 'Liga Continent's first oil' agency in Yasna Continent from the Pamir Family!"

"The company's overseas trade development, the markets with Southern Country's Sang Sen, Northern Confederation's Xi'er Family, Will Family, Andrew Family—who secured these markets? Who made them cooperate with us comprehensively? Was it you, the Vice President in charge of foreign trade?"

"It was the chairman! The chairman secured the comprehensive cooperation of these corporate families. Do you think that now, by focusing entirely on acquiring pharmaceutical companies and only making profits from jewelry, energy, networking, and foreign trade, with you in charge of two aspects, you can be arrogant?"

"Without the chairman paving the way, what could you do on your own?"

Zhou Qing burned with rage, relentlessly berating Zhang Zhengyan.

When her voice fell silent, the entire conference room was quiet.

Everyone was stunned.

Only then did they sharply realize that although Chairman Jiang Chen wasn't present at the company, his influence was indeed tangible.

In every step of Yi Chen's development, the shadow of Jiang Chen was present.

His contributions were monumental!
