The heavens set sail from the courtyard

"Mr. Qin, I can't do such an important thing as layoffs!" Na Wei directly refused Qin Lingling.

"Boss, I know that layoffs may offend people, but I really have no one else to use!" Qin Lingling said with a bitter face.

Na Wei evaded the question, “Boss Qin, I used to be in charge of marketing, and Vice Boss Qin was in charge of personnel. He is more suitable for layoffs.”

Qin Lingling sighed and said, "The first person I want you to lay off is my eldest brother."

Na Wei looked at Qin Lingling in shock, not understanding why she would fire even her own brother.

Qin Lingling said: "If the company lays off half of its employees, there will definitely be a big earthquake, and it will collapse if things go wrong. So I asked you to lay off my eldest brother first, so that you can convince everyone and the layoffs can proceed."

Na Wei opened his mouth wide and suddenly understood Qin Lingling's determination to lay off employees.

"Boss Qin, please think carefully about the layoffs. Half the staff is too many. If it really doesn't work, a pay cut is also fine!"

"No, I've already thought about this matter. You don't need to persuade me anymore. I'll send you the layoff list later. You can take a look at it first. As for my eldest brother, I'll inform him first. You don't have to worry." Qin Lingling said decisively.

Na Wei walked out of the office with a worried look on his face, and Jiang Shan immediately surrounded him.

"Then, Mr. Qin, do you have any instructions?"

Na Wei glanced at his good friend and didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.

At this time, Qin Feng walked towards Qin Lingling's office. He didn't know that he would be fired.

Na Wei quickly pulled Jiang Shan away.

Not long after Qin Feng walked into Qin Lingling's office, a quarrel was heard inside. People outside could clearly hear Qin Feng scolding Qin Lingling for being ungrateful and disregarding family affection.

Then Qin Feng walked out of the office angrily and left the company directly.

Na Wei returned to the office and saw the layoff list sent by Qin Lingling. Seeing such a long list of names, his scalp went numb.

Qin Lingling gave him ten days to talk to every laid-off employee. Na Wei looked around and found that Jiang Shan's name was not on the list, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Jiang Shan avoided layoffs, most of the employees in the sales department he managed were laid off. Na Wei took a look and found that most of them were people with no outstanding business capabilities, and only a few ace sales people were retained.

Na Wei realized that this layoff list was not randomly compiled. In fact, every employee who was laid off was more or less not innocent. Either they had poor business capabilities or they were direct descendants of Wang Ruizhi.

It can be seen that Qin Lingling has been working hard for this layoff for a long time.

"If it weren't for Xiaolei's help, would I also be on this list?" Na Wei said secretly with fear.

When she returned home in the evening, Shen Lin had already prepared dinner and the two children had eaten first.

Na Wei told his wife about the layoffs and asked Shen Lin for her opinion.

After considering for a long time, Shen Lin called Wang Gang to ask for his opinion.

"Brother-in-law, according to my investigation, your company is in a really difficult situation right now, and even layoffs may not be able to save it." Wang Gang said bluntly.

"Can't we get back the money that Mr. Wang transferred? Why can't the company be revived?" Na Wei asked puzzled.

“First of all, the money cannot be recovered just by saying so, and legal procedures take time.

Secondly, with the scandal surrounding us every day, it is impossible for us to attract investors, and it would be difficult to wait until the money is in place.

Third, the overall market environment is not good, your company’s business is also shrinking, and layoffs and cost reduction are inevitable.”

As Na Wei listened to Wang Gang's explanation, his heart became heavier and heavier.

Shen Lin also asked anxiously: "Xiao Lei, are you saying that your brother-in-law is still in danger of being laid off?"

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry! Qin Lingling will definitely give me face and won't lay off my brother-in-law. I think she is quite courageous and should be able to hold on until Wang Ruizhi's money is unblocked. By then, the company will be fine."

Shen Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but Na Wei was still worried: "But layoffs are offensive, I don't want to be involved." "Brother-in-law, Qin Lingling asked you to be in charge of layoffs, in fact, it is also a test. If you don't want to, she won't treat you as a confidant." Wang Gang said:
"Of course, if you really don't want to do it, I can help you communicate with Qin Lingling, but you will definitely be marginalized in the company in the future, and I can't help you with that."

Na Wei understood what Wang Gang meant.

"Xiao Lei, thank you. You have helped me a lot. I won't bother you anymore. I will take care of it myself."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Gang smiled and shook his head, then looked at Xie Meilan opposite him.

"Did Lu Jie ask you to come to me?" Wang Gang leaned on the sofa and asked calmly.

Xie Meilan suddenly became nervous. For the first time, she discovered that her ex-husband had an aura, like the natural pressure of a superior, which she had felt before from the company president.

"Shen Lei, you have changed a lot now." Xie Meilan exclaimed sincerely.

Wang Gang smiled, took a sip of coffee, and then said, "When can Lu Jie prepare the money?"

Xie Meilan frowned and said, "I didn't expect that you, who used to be so honest, would accept bribes now."

Wang Gang snorted coldly: "Didn't you always complain about me making too little money? Now I can make 40 million in one go, do you still think it's not enough?"

Xie Meilan said seriously: "Shen Lei, stop it! If you keep doing this, something bad will happen sooner or later! I don't want to see you in prison."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "You should worry about Lu Jie first! He is indeed going to jail soon."

Xie Meilan gritted her teeth and said, "Lu Jie really can't come up with 20 million. He only has 15 million. Can you give me a straight answer?"

Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Is this your attitude of begging for help?"

Xie Meilan's heart ached. It took her a lot of courage to come and see Wang Gang today. It would be too embarrassing for her to bow to Wang Gang.

Wang Gang said coldly: "Not a cent less than 20 million, otherwise Lu Jie will go to jail!"

Xie Meilan said anxiously: "If Lu Jie goes in, he will definitely betray you. Don't forget that you have already received 20 million from him."

Wang Gang said confidently: "Who can prove that catching a thief and taking stolen goods without evidence is a false accusation, which is aggravated by the crime."

Xie Meilan was speechless for a moment, feeling that she had been led by Wang Gang from the very beginning.

"Shen Lei, can you help me for the sake of our marriage?" Xie Meilan softened her tone and said, "It took me a lot of effort to find Lu Jie to rely on."

Wang Gang said disdainfully: "Xie Meilan, put away your tricks! If you care about the relationship between husband and wife, you won't abort our child in private."

"You are still blaming me for having an abortion, but having a child is my right, you can't force me." Xie Meilan said weakly.

"Yes, you have the right to decide whether to have a child or not, and I have no right to interfere. But you aborted our child without even informing me. Do you respect me?" Wang Gang asked back.

Xie Meilan was shocked and couldn't find any words to refute.

Wang Gang said coldly: "Don't waste my time anymore. Not a cent less than 20 million. Contact me when Lu Jie is ready. My patience is limited. I will only give you three days."

After saying that, Wang Gang stood up and turned to leave, then was surprised to see Li Xiaoyue sitting not far away.

Li Xiaoyue seemed to have seen Wang Gang as well, and felt a little flustered. She turned her head away deliberately, pretending not to see him.

Wang Gang chose this coffee shop because it was quiet and had few customers, but he didn't expect to run into an acquaintance.

Li Xiaoyue's table was quite far away, so she probably couldn't hear his conversation with Xie Meilan.

"Shen Lei, you are so heartless." Xie Meilan stood up and called Wang Gang.

"We have no feelings for each other now, only a business deal." Wang Gang said this and walked out of the coffee shop without saying hello to Li Xiaoyue. (End of this chapter)
