C5 Female Secretary!
As Soong Cheng flipped through the documents in his hands, his expression grew increasingly grim.
The property certificate for Binhai Building!
Registration certificate for Binhai Real Estate Limited Liability Company!
Property transfer agreement for Binhai Building!
Directorship transfer agreement for Binhai Real Estate Limited Liability Company!
Certification from Haihu City Notary Office!
Each document unequivocally signified that Binhai Building had a new owner!
And the name of the beneficiary on the documents was all too familiar to Soong Cheng.
Shen Hao!
The very security guard he had deemed as insignificant as an ant!
After Soong Cheng had reviewed all the documents, he stood frozen in place. Zhu Dachang, standing nearby, inquired tentatively.
"General Manager?"
"Brother-in-law?"
Soong Cheng remained silent, ignoring Zhu Dachang.
Zhu Dachang's unease grew. He swallowed hard and asked with a shaky voice, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong?"
"These documents have to be forgeries!"
"Brother-in-law, you can't possibly believe them!"
"You need to get rid of Shen Hao immediately."
But before Zhu Dachang could finish his plea, a firm slap struck his face.
"Be quiet!"
"You do not have the right to address Director Shen by name!"
Soong Cheng regarded Zhu Dachang with a cold stare, as if he were not his brother-in-law but an adversary.
Zhu Dachang, clutching his face, looked at Soong Cheng with fear and confusion.
"Brother-in-law, what's going on?"
"Does Binhai Building really belong to him?"
Ignoring Zhu Dachang, Soong Cheng turned to Shen Hao with a look of utmost respect.
"Director Shen!"
"These are your documents!"
Carefully, Soong Cheng gathered the papers and presented them to Shen Hao with both hands.
Shen Hao accepted the documents nonchalantly and asked quietly, "Do you believe now?"
Soong Cheng nodded earnestly, replying with deference, "I have no doubt whatsoever!"
"Binhai Building is your property, and you also hold the position of director at Binhai Company!"
Soong Cheng's admission left Zhu Dachang utterly astounded.
Zhu Dachang turned stiffly to face Shen Hao, his pudgy face awash with shock and disbelief.
"How can this be?"
"Shen Hao is truly the owner of Binhai Building!"
"It's over."
The security guards on-site all widened their eyes, staring at Shen Hao in shock.
They couldn't fathom how their former colleague had suddenly become someone they could hardly look up to!
"Shen Hao turned into Director Shen?"
"The Binhai Building is actually Shen Hao's?!"
"We're all employees of Shen Hao now?"
"Remember, from now on we call him Director Shen!"
Shen Hao looked at the bewildered Soong Cheng and Zhu Dachang, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
He reminisced about their past arrogance and now reveled in their current state of disarray. It was truly satisfying!
"Zhu Dachang, weren't you going to fire me?"
Shen Hao's icy voice echoed in Zhu Dachang's ears.
Zhu Dachang shuddered at the sound, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Director Shen, I was wrong! I won't do it again!"
"Please show mercy and spare me."
Zhu Dachang pleaded in a low, panicked voice, bowing deeply.
A glint of coldness flashed in Shen Hao's eyes, and he let out a scoff.
"Look at the state you're in now, nothing but trash!"
"What happened to all that swagger from before?"
Zhu Dachang's face shifted subtly, and after a moment, he said in a sycophantic tone, "Director Shen, I am nothing but trash!"
"You're an important person; surely you won't stoop to quarrel with trash like me, right?"
A cold smile appeared on Shen Hao's lips as he casually flicked his finger.
"So, you admit you're trash!"
"Well, that makes things simpler."
Shen Hao paused, eyeing Zhu Dachang with a hint of amusement.
Zhu Dachang swallowed hard, his gaze filled with hope as he looked at Shen Hao.
His fate—life or death—hung on Shen Hao's next words.
Then, Shen Hao spoke with a detached tone.
"Binhai Company has no place for the worthless. Pack your things and get out!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Dachang's legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Director Shen, I was wrong! Please, don't send me away!"
"Director Shen, I beg you, don't cast me out!"
"I have nowhere else to go besides Binhai Company!"
Zhu Dachang was uneducated and unskilled, having secured his position at Binhai Company solely through his brother-in-law's influence, where he even rose to become the head of the security department.
He was content in his role here, enjoying a laid-back job with a handsome salary, so naturally, he had no desire to leave Binhai.
Zhu Dachang fell to his knees. Seeing the icy look on Shen Hao's face, he realized that all hope was lost.
"It's over!"
Without his substantial salary, Zhu Dachang couldn't possibly pay his mortgage or car loan, much less afford the expenses of a mistress. He was utterly despondent.
The drastic turn of events brought Zhu Dachang to tears, his eyes brimming with remorse.
Soong Cheng observed Zhu Dachang's pitiful state with not a hint of sympathy, only contempt.
"Director Shen, your decision is brilliant!"
Soong Cheng gave Shen Hao a thumbs-up.
"Zhu Dachang has been exploiting our close relationship to commit numerous misdeeds behind my back!"
Soong Cheng declared, "He's a menace!"
"Your decision to dismiss him is immensely gratifying!"
Upon hearing Soong Cheng's words, Zhu Dachang, still kneeling, looked up at him as if seeing him for the first time.
Zhu Dachang rose to his feet abruptly, pointing a finger so close to Soong Cheng's face it nearly touched him.
Soong Cheng's betrayal fueled Zhu Dachang's rage.
In that moment, Zhu Dachang was consumed by a single thought: if his situation was dire, he wouldn't let Soong Cheng off easily.
Zhu Dachang pointed at Soong Cheng and shouted, "You heartless beast!"
"When my sister was the receptionist at the company, you pressured her into marrying you because she was attractive!"
"You promised to look after me, and now you kick me when I'm down!"
"Don't forget all the favors you've taken from me over the years! Not to mention the company funds you've embezzled and the kickbacks you've accepted from clients."
Before Zhu Dachang could finish, Soong Cheng struck him with a slap.
"Silence!"
After reprimanding Zhu Dachang, Soong Cheng turned to Shen Hao, his expression fraught with urgency, "Zhu Dachang is spouting lies. He's defaming me!"
"Director Shen, you must believe me!"
Shen Hao regarded Soong Cheng with a frosty gaze. "Why should I believe you?"
"Am I to trust that you haven't abused your power? Or that you haven't embezzled funds?"
As Soong Cheng's expression turned to one of sheer panic, Shen Hao spoke with icy detachment, "Effective immediately, you are relieved of all your responsibilities. Once we've thoroughly investigated the situation, I'll decide on the appropriate action."
"But I'm the current General Manager of the property department. How will the company function without me?"
"Our clients in the Binhai Building rely on my communication!"
"Director Shen, suspending me now would be like crippling the company!"
Soong Cheng gasped in shock at the prospect. A thorough investigation would not bode well for him!
"Random mission: Soong Cheng's plea for mercy!"
"As the General Manager pleads desperately, Host, it's your call to make."
"Option 1: Remain resolute and you'll be rewarded with a female secretary."
"Option 2: Show leniency, and earn Soong Cheng's undying loyalty."
