Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Cleaning up the Traitors!
But what Nangong Han said next left everyone deeply disappointed. He stated that as the family has been in a developmental phase these years, and he, being the legitimate eldest grandson and the future head of the Nangong Family, simply couldn't afford to be preoccupied with romantic entanglements.
Given that, no one spoke further on the matter, although there were some who pondered whether, if their daughters weren't suitable to be the main wife of the Nangong Family, they might still be considered for a side room?
After all, Nangong Han couldn't possibly refuse a free offer of flesh sent directly to his door!
Using their daughters to ascend socially was something these people had no qualms about; on the contrary, they believed they had secured a strong backing for their daughters, promising them a bright future!
The banquet went on until the evening, and the guests left in high spirits.
When Nangong Han and Zhuang Siheng returned to the Zhuang residence, the servants considerately brought them two warm towels.
Nangong Han pressed one to his face and let out a deep sigh before saying, "Everything is ready, let's begin!"
Zhuang Siheng was thrilled to hear this; he had been waiting for this day for far too long! Once the Ye family was brought down, his Zhuang family would take the throne as the richest in Magic Capital!
But what Zhuang Siheng didn't know was that Nangong Han had already begun his schemes behind the scenes, waiting to devour the Ye family's assets before kicking Zhuang Siheng out of the game!
Meanwhile, at the Ye Corporation.
All the senior executives gathered in the president's boardroom at the top floor.
During this period, Magic Capital's business community had been thrown into chaos, with their company's various operations under relentless attack.
Add to that, the originally healthy cash flow had become extremely fragile due to the acquisition of IS company.
The executives sat in their seats with various thoughts on their minds.
"Chairman, some of our peripheral industries have already been taken over by the Nangong Family, who have started to invade our core businesses! If this goes on, the entire group won't even be able to pay back the bank loans!" one executive said with a furrowed brow. However, the father of the Ye family was still leisurely sipping his tea, showing no inclination to respond.
His behavior deeply disappointed everyone present. Was this really the chairman who once fought on the front lines?
Could it be that the chairman's ambition for the business had been dulled by wealth and comfort?
If that was indeed the case, they might as well switch allegiances to a more promising leader now. After all, although the Nangong Family had not been in Magic Capital for long, their power was formidable, and with continued growth, they were certain to replace the Ye family!
"I have my considerations about this situation; there's no need for further questions," the father of the Ye family set down his teacup, his demeanor shifted, and a glint of sharpness flashed in his eyes as he said coldly to those present: "You should rather be worried about the projects at hand! Is it really that difficult to maintain the company's operations?
Or is it that some of you have already leaked secrets behind the scenes?"
"Don't think that just because I have been in a high position for many years and out of the grassroots, you can fool me with your little scheming—it's still too naive!"
"Chairman, we are all thinking of what's best for the company! Without the company, our statuses mean nothing. You have no reason to suspect everyone now—it's truly disheartening!"
The speaker was a veteran of the company, a man with significant weight within the group. His standing up to speak also represented that many of the senior executives had already lost their basic reverence for the father of the Ye family.
"Kong Jiexiong, you're 63 this year, aren't you?" the father of the Ye family said with a smile: "You're not of the age to have dementia; how come you've started to get muddled?"
"During the acquisition of IS company, secrets were clearly leaked from within our group, which led to our heavy losses! Have you already forgotten, even though it happened not so long ago?"
The father of the Ye family rose to his feet and took a document from Fan Yiru, slamming it down on the table.
"I have a list here, and on it are the names of people who've taken money from the Zhuang family recently, whether more or less. Will you come forward yourselves, or should I call out each name?"
The executives below fell silent, looking around uncertainly, their hearts filled with trepidation, not knowing whether this was a ruse by Ye's father or if he had truly caught them red-handed.
"Last three seconds! If it really comes out of my mouth, you all know what the consequences would be, right?"
Only then did everyone recall the decisive and ruthless younger days of Ye's father when dealing with matters, never showing any mercy to enemies. There was once a vice president of the group who was exposed for taking kickbacks from a partner, and he's still sewing in prison now.
"I'm sorry, President! I was blinded by my greed and did something to betray the group, I accept my punishment!"
"..."
"President, I don't know what I was thinking at the time, just...sigh!"
Some stood up in silence, some spewed a torrent of words, and others didn't believe Ye's father had any evidence on them, so they sat comfortably in their seats, hurling angry words at these corporate traitors.
"Write your own resignation letters. The money you've made over the years with the group should be enough for you to live out your days in comfort."
Ye's father clapped his hands, and a group of security guards rushed into the conference room from outside, dragging the executives who had admitted their wrongdoing.
The door to the conference room closed, and Ye's father flipped through the documents, dividing them into more than ten parts.
Then he walked a circle around everyone, depositing the numerous documents alongside different individuals.
Ye's father sneered disdainfully, "To make a mistake and not have the courage to admit it, I am ashamed to have you as my subordinates!"
"President...I..."
Those who were handed documents turned ashen, wanting to argue but were interrupted by Ye's father, who once again opened the door. This time, the people who came in weren't security guards, but police officers!
At this point, there was only one thought in everyone's mind: it was all over! Completely over!
Their glory and wealth, their bright futures, all ruined by a momentary lapse of judgment!
"President! I've made so much profit for the company over the years, you can't just discard me after using me up!"
"Old Ye! I've been with the company since its early days; can you really bear to send an old friend to prison?"
"President, I'll resign, I don't want anything else, I just beg for your mercy, for the sake of my years of toil for the group, please let me off!"
Ye's father watched them coldly without a word, then turned to the police officer and said, "Captain Li, we've finished collecting the evidence, I'll leave it to you to follow the procedures."
Captain Li nodded his head, filled with shock. He hadn't expected the established Magic Capital enterprise, Ye Group, to have so many traitors at the top. This news would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar if it got out!
The traitors who needed to be dealt with were dealt with, and those who needed to be punished were punished. Those who remained in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye's father picked up his cup again and took a sip of water to moisten his throat before speaking, "Kong Jiexiong, you've grown old and can no longer keep up with the pace of the group's development. From now on, you should rest well."
Kong Jiexiong's lips trembled, wanting to say something, but the harsh reality slapped him hard, proving his incompetence and foolishness.
In the end, he nodded dejectedly and left the conference room.
"Everyone present is a pillar of the group. I hope you will take on more responsibilities in the future. The group will never treat you unfairly!"
