"Yes, all these were done by the chairman!"

"The chairman, though not present in the company, has always played a very good leadership role!"

"The chairman's commands on all major directions were very wise!"

"Mr. Zhang, that statement really went too far!"

After a moment, the conference room filled with the buzz of discussion.

"I..."

Zhang Zhengyan swept his gaze over everyone, his face turning livid as he glared sinisterly at Zhou Qing and shouted, "Zhou Qing, you don't need to sing praises for the chairman here. If he's really capable, why doesn't he solve this crisis? Huh? Can he? Where is he? We are all here trying to save the company's predicament, where has he gone?"

"I am here!"

Suddenly, a calm voice rang out.

Following that, Jiang Chen, Ye Jingyi, Gong Lin, and Yan Hu walked in from the entrance of the conference room.

Since this was an internal Yi Chen meeting, Song Wanqiu didn't come over. Jiang Chen had her and Wang Zongming go to the CEO's office to rest first.

"Chairman!"

Zhou Qing's face brightened up, and she hastily got up to pay her respects.

"Chairman!"

"Chairman!"

Fang Yuehua, Wu Dayong, and other senior figures from the company excitedly stood up and looked at Jiang Chen.

"So this is the Chairman!"

"Hello, Chairman!"

"Hello, Chairman!"

Other senior officials, a beat slower, also stood up.

Only Zhang Zhengyan was taken aback for a moment but remained seated.

"Zhang Zhengyan!" Zhou Qing glared furiously at him.

Zhang Zhengyan slowly stood up, glanced at Jiang Chen, and said provocatively, "Is the chairman here to announce the bankruptcy of the company? When the company faced difficulties, you were nowhere to be seen, and now that things are irredeemable, you show up? What's the point of appearing now?"

"Who is this?" Jiang Chen glanced at Zhang Zhengyan and turned to Ye Jingyi.

Ye Jingyi, with a livid expression, said, "His name is Zhang Zhengyan, and he is the vice president in charge of international trade and energy business."

"Dismissed!" Jiang Chen spoke indifferently and walked over to take the main seat.

"Zhang Zhengyan, you are dismissed. You can leave now!" Ye Jingyi took the another main seat and spoke coldly.

Zhou Qing instinctively made way and prepared to move back, but Gong Lin gently patted her shoulder, shook her head softly, and nodded towards Zhang Zhengyan's position.

Yan Hu stepped up to Zhang Zhengyan's side and coldly said, "You are dismissed. Make way!"

"Dismiss me? The company's four profitable ventures include two under my management, and you dismiss me?"

Zhang Zhengyan's expression darkened, and he spoke ominously, "If you dismiss me, don't expect these two sectors to remain profitable!"

"You need not concern yourself with profitability."

Jiang Chen spoke dispassionately, "Yi Chen's energy mainly revolves around Liga Continent's oil, and international trade mainly with the Southern Country and Northern Confederation. These three areas are the least of our worries. You merely played a connecting role. Even a pig could handle this job well—a job that a pig can handle well has been occupied by an arrogant man like you, why would I need you?"

"You... Jiang Chen, you dare underestimate me? I tell you, without me, can you secure a three-month deferred payment for international trade? Can you secure a three-month deferred payment for Liga Continent's oil? Can you?" Zhang Zhengyan shouted out.

"Lin Lin, have a seat!" Jiang Chen ignored Zhang Zhengyan and motioned Gong Lin over.

Gong Lin walked towards Zhang Zhengyan's position.

"Jiang Chen, if you dare fire me, I will mess up these two businesses for you, I'm telling you, I..." Zhang Zhengyan, face turning livid, began to say.

"Get the hell out!"

Yan Hu bellowed, grabbed Zhang Zhengyan by the collar, physically lifted him, and carried him towards the exit of the conference room.

Gong Lin shook her head amusedly and took Zhang Zhengyan's seat.

The conference room fell silent, everyone's eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at Jiang Chen.

None of them had expected Jiang Chen to directly fire a vice-president upon his arrival. Although Zhang Zhengyan did indeed go too far, the company's current situation was no longer suitable for such drastic measures!

Zhang Zhengyan had always been in charge of energy and foreign trade. If he truly intended to cause trouble, Yi Chen would be even less able to withstand it!

"Let go of me, Jiang Chen, if you want Yi Chen to survive, you better let go. I have ways to help Yi Chen get through this crisis!" Zhang Zhengyan shouted in panic.

He had come today with a purpose, and if he was just kicked out like this, it wouldn't just be a matter of losing his job anymore!

Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Zhengyan with a smirk and waved his hand towards Yan Hu.

Thump!

Yan Hu directly threw Zhang Zhengyan into the corner.

"Jiang Chen, you..." Zhang Zhengyan, with a grim face, yelled.

"Shut up!"

Jiang Chen coldly glanced at Zhang Zhengyan.

Zhang Zhengyan's words got stuck in his throat, suddenly feeling a cold chill rushing from his feet to his head, his heart trembled fiercely, and panic appeared in his eyes.

"That so-called 'three-month payment extension' is what you're arrogantly relying on, huh?"

Jiang Chen glanced at Zhang Zhengyan, snorted contemptuously, took out his cellphone, and dialed a number, putting it on speakerphone.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang."

"Pu Minsung, all foreign trade goods going to Southern Country need to be prepaid, and all goods purchased back from Southern Country need to be paid a year later. Any problems?" Jiang Chen spoke calmly.

"No problems at all!"

"Good!"

After hanging up, Jiang Chen dialed another number.

"With the Xi'er Family…"

"No problems!"

"With Wil..."

...

"No problem, Mr. Jiang, we can provide three years of crude oil for you, pay whenever it's convenient for you!"

The last call was to Bo Like, and Bo Keli's tone was as if he were talking to his own father!

"Good." Jiang Chen responded blandly and hung up the phone.

"This..."

"Holy shit! Is the chairman this powerful?"

"All goods sold are to be prepaid before delivery, all purchased goods to be settled after a year? Can foreign trade even work this way?"

"How strong is Dong's relationship with them? It's so solid that even a pig could handle foreign trade and energy!"

A series of exclamations rang out in the meeting room!

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Jiang Chen placed his phone on the table, looking towards Zhang Zhengyan calmly, "Or perhaps, your sudden abnormal behavior today means you think the time is ripe?"

"How did you know?!"

Zhang Zhengyan's face changed, and he blurted out, then quickly covered his mouth.

"What timing?!"

"What does that mean?"

"This..."

"Zhang came to the company… he had a purpose?"

Murmurs of confusion filled the meeting room, and everyone turned their heads to look at Zhang Zhengyan.
