Reborn: Billionaire in College

Accompanied by two crisp knocks on the door, Hao Shaoping pushed the door open, his movements were somewhat cautious, and he called out softly, "Mr. Chen, you are looking for me."

Chen Pingjiang, who was working at his desk, glanced at Hao Shaoping, nodded, and gestured to Hao Shaoping to sit down first.

Hao Shaoping was extremely nervous at the moment. He sat on the sofa with fear and trepidation, daring to sit only one-third of the way up.

Although we work in the same building, I haven't seen Chen Pingjiang for nearly a year. The main reason is that there are too many levels between us and Chen Pingjiang is very busy on weekdays.

Looking back to the first time he met Chen Pingjiang, Hao Shaoping, the president of the college student union, still felt good about himself. Later, after learning that Chen Pingjiang had made quite a splash in his business outside the school, he began to look at him with an equal eye.

now……

Sitting in this office, Hao Shaoping couldn't help but feel nervous.

Wen Yan is considered a veteran, but he was still fired for no apparent reason.

Private enterprises are not like civil servants, who can open jobs as soon as they are told. Even though Wen Yan’s whereabouts have not been announced, the outcome is already clear.

This incident gave a great shock to many senior managers throughout the company!
Because Wen Yan is the first entrepreneurial veteran to be eliminated!
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger, which is a perfect interpretation.

In fact, the main reason why Hao Shaoping was panicked was that he didn't know how his predecessor had offended the big boss and was fired.

Not only him, but many middle and senior managers of various subsidiary groups suddenly panicked after receiving the news, and they all tried to find out the real reason why Wen Yan was laid off.

After finishing the documents at hand, Chen Pingjiang looked up at Hao Shaoping: "Why? You, the great Chairman Hao, have seen all kinds of big scenes, why are you so cautious today?"

Hao Shaoping laughed dryly: "Mr. Chen, please stop joking with me. To be honest, I am both surprised and happy. I am happy that I can take on greater responsibilities under Mr. Chen's care, but at the same time I feel that the burden on my shoulders is very heavy. I was planning to come here today to ask you how to proceed with the work on Weibo."

Chen Pingjiang nodded.

Promoting Hao Shaoping was just a casual move, but it was also a big test for him.

When it comes to hiring people, it doesn't matter who you hire.
In this case, it is only natural to use someone who knows you well.

Wen Yan's biggest problem is that he has become too arrogant and bloated. He even dares to complain about the group strategy formulated by Chen Pingjiang. People like him cannot be retained.

He had heard some rumors about Wen Yan before, but those were minor issues in Chen Pingjiang's opinion.

But this time, Wen Yan stepped on his bottom line.

Although Wen Yan did not dare to really go against the group's decision and Chen Pingjiang's will, he could slack off and work without putting in any effort.

This is also an opportunity to make an example of someone.

The TikTok project is Chen Pingjiang’s last move. He only wants success and does not tolerate failure. Any stumbling blocks must be removed.

After receiving Li Xi's report, Chen Pingjiang chose to take down Wen Yan without much thought.

If you want to blame someone, just blame Wen Yan for not being able to see the situation clearly.

Of course, this is also related to Chen Pingjiang's general perception of him.

If it were other capable or indispensable subordinates, Chen Pingjiang might not have taken action so quickly.

"That's all I have to say. Go talk to Li Xi first. I won't keep you here." After explaining things for a long time, Chen Pingjiang ordered him to leave.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, thank you for your trust. I will definitely work hard to do my job well and resolutely cooperate with Mr. Zhang."

After communicating with Chen Pingjiang for about half an hour, Hao Shaoping finally stepped out of the office in a daze. At this moment, his heart was filled with warmness.

I felt stable and at ease. I originally thought that Wen Yan was fired because of his poor performance, but I didn't expect it was because he was disobedient.

This seemed stupid to Hao Shaoping!

A mere professional manager dares to disobey the boss's orders. He is really out of his mind and deserves to be dismissed.

But then again, it was also the first time that Hao Shaoping felt what is meant by "serving the emperor is like serving a tiger"!
Without giving Wen Yan any chance, or even a warning or a talk, Chen Pingjiang simply fired this veteran who had been with him for many years.

Is Chen Pingjiang cruel?

From an outsider's perspective, it counts.

But for an entrepreneur at his level, it means nothing.

Lao Ma once said that when firing someone, "the heart must be kind and the knife must be sharp."

Whether it is old Ma or young Ma, there are many examples of deposing veterans.

Business is like a battlefield, and being too soft-hearted will only backfire.

Just when Hao Shaoping, the new celebrity, was becoming very popular, in a private room of a high-end restaurant not far from Renren's headquarters.

Wen Yan's face was red from drinking, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was listless. He kept mumbling to Miao Bingwei opposite him, his voice quite indignant: "Why? I didn't do anything wrong. Even if I didn't make any contributions, I still worked hard over the years. We worked diligently to get to where we are now. Renren has grown to its current size because we wrote every code one by one. Why did he treat me like this when I did nothing wrong? He fired me without even saying hello, and didn't even give me a chance to apologize. I called but my secretary blocked me, and I couldn't even get in the door when I went to the 28th floor."

"When your Lao Miao and I were at our worst, we lived and ate in the company. When winter came, it was so cold that we shivered even when we peed. We had no private life at all. We were either at work or off work every day. Did I ever get a penny of overtime pay?"

"Oh, now that Chen Pingjiang has succeeded in his business and is as rich as a country, he has started to change his face and do the trick of killing the running dog after the cunning rabbit dies? Hehe, he is really an evil capitalist, so cold-blooded."

There was a table full of delicious dishes, but Wen Yan barely touched his chopsticks. He kept talking and drinking.

Miao Bingwei, who was sitting opposite him, remained silent and listened to Wen Yan's complaints.

On one side is Chen Pingjiang, the person he respects the most and who has given him everything, and on the other side is Wen Yan, with whom he has a good personal relationship. Thinking that neither side is good, he simply stops talking.

Miao Bingwei didn't understand how it had come to this.

Too fast and too sudden.

He also attended the group's board meeting, and after hearing the decision to remove Wen Yan, he tried to defend Wen Yan.

But when Chen Pingjiang threw the relevant information on the table, Miao Bingwei shut up.

Because that document... contained all the problems exposed in the Weibo Business Department, as well as Wen Yan's personal style issues, and even his own brother-in-law was placed in the Weibo Business Department.

The matter was not big, but it was not small either, but the big boss had made it clear that he wanted to take action against him, and Miao Bingwei could not stop him.

"Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get, damn Chen..."

"Shut up, Lao Wen, you've had too much to drink!"

"I didn't drink too much!"

"Are you not drunk yet? Listen to what you are saying? You never reflected on yourself from the beginning to the end, and thought that it was all someone else's fault?"

Seeing that Wen Yan was getting more and more outrageous, Miao Bingwei could no longer hold back and slammed his fist on the table in anger. (End of this chapter)
