Chapter 655: You Tell Him Who I Am

Seeing the manager of the sales department suddenly kneel.

The chairman of Taihe Group was completely stunned.

What… what is going on? The manager crawled to Xu Shaochen’s feet, crying uncontrollably, and hugged his leg.

“Xu… Young Master Xu, please spare me, I have old parents and young children! My whole family depends on me. Please, I beg you, don’t hold it against me any longer, I’m begging you!”

Seeing this, the Taihe Group chairman finally understood.

So it turns out this blind fool offended Xu Shaochen. No wonder Xu Shaochen is so angry.

This is equivalent to a master returning home and being bitten by his own dog. How could he not be furious?

“Go on then, tell him who I am.”

Xu Shaochen said calmly while looking at the Taihe Group’s chairman.

The chairman swallowed nervously and looked at the kneeling manager, saying, “This man is none other than Young Master Xu, the young boss of Xu Corporation.”

When the manager heard this, he was struck as if by lightning, standing in stunned silence, unable to speak.

Hou Xiaoyan and the others were also watching Xu Shaochen with faces full of shock. After all, the identity of the young boss of Xu Corporation was enormous.

“Didn’t you ask on what grounds I could fire you? Just this. Is it enough?”

Xu Shaochen looked down at the manager, his tone calm.

“Young Master Xu, I beg you, please give me another chance!”

The manager cried bitterly, knocking his head endlessly against the floor. After all, the sales department manager position was a critical role.

He had spent so much effort to attain this.

If he were fired now, how could he accept it?

“After today, I don’t want to see his name on Taihe Group’s employee list again.”

Xu Shaochen ignored the manager’s pleas and said dismissively to the chairman.

“Yes, yes, Young Master Xu, rest assured, I will take care of this immediately.” The chairman eagerly nodded and, turning to the manager, roared in anger: “Didn’t you hear what Young Master Xu said? Get out! You worthless fool!”

The manager, staggering, seemed drained of all strength. He wanted to say something to defend himself but had no idea where to start.

After all, everything he had just done happened right in front of Xu Shaochen. There was no room for excuses.

In the end, he wobbled to his feet, his face pale and his eyes empty, filled with despair as he walked out of the sales department.

With this departure, he would never have another opportunity to return to this position.

Next, Xu Shaochen’s eyes fell upon the pot-bellied Manager Zhang.

Manager Zhang shivered, forcing out a grimace worse than tears, stammering: “You… Young Master Xu, let me… let me explain… no… please, let me explain!”

Xu Shaochen directly cut him off: “However you slapped that girl, you slap yourself the same way. Twenty slaps, then get out.”

“And remember, I want it loud. Understand the meaning of ‘loud’? If you can’t do it, I’ll have someone help you.”

“I understand, I understand!”

Manager Zhang nodded like a pecking chicken, secretly relieved. Self-slapping was better than losing his money or life.

Taking a deep breath, he turned to Hou Xiaoyan and said with all sincerity, “Miss, it was all my fault earlier. A toad reaching for a swan, I sincerely apologize.”

With that, he gritted his teeth and gave himself a hard slap across the face.

“Smack!”

The crisp sound echoed through the room, and his cheek swelled visibly.

“Smack!”

“Smack!”

The sound of slaps echoed without interruption. Manager Zhang slapped himself until his face was bruised and swollen. Just watching made others feel the pain.

“Smack!”

Finally, after twenty slaps, Manager Zhang’s face was so swollen it was unrecognizable, with blood dripping from his nose.

“You… Young Master Xu, can… can I leave now?”

Manager Zhang asked cautiously, fearing Xu Shaochen had only been toying with him.

“Leave.”

Xu Shaochen waved his hand in disgust.

“Yes, yes, thank you, Young Master Xu, for your mercy. Thank you for your generosity.”

Receiving confirmation, Manager Zhang beamed with joy, bowed several times to Xu Shaochen, then rushed out of the sales department in haste.

Xu Shaochen turned to the chairman of Taihe Group and said, “When hiring employees for the company, ability is important, but so are professional ethics, especially for senior management.”

“If a senior manager has no professional ethics, they will show no hesitation in betraying the company’s interests.”

“Yes, yes, Young Master Xu, you’re absolutely right, it was my lack of oversight. I promise, from now on, I will personally interview all senior management and handle this matter strictly!”

The chairman, like a schoolboy being scolded by his teacher, continuously admitted his faults and proactively made promises.

Xu Shaochen nodded impassively, his emotions unreadable. He waved his hand: “You may leave. I don’t need you for now.”

“Yes, Young Master Xu, I’ll take my leave. If you need anything, feel free to call me. My Phone is always on, 24 hours.”

Finally breathing a sigh of relief, the Taihe Group chairman respectfully turned and left after saying his goodbyes.

The moment he turned around, he felt like a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders, though his back was drenched in cold sweat.

To others, being Taihe Real Estate’s chairman was a prestigious position. He was a regular guest of the government at their banquets.

But in front of Xu Corporation’s regional management, he was nothing. In front of Xu Shaochen, he wasn’t even a brother—barely a grandson.

What is power?

Power is when you speak softly, and everyone listens intently, sitting up straight to hear what you have to say.

And when you speak loudly, everyone trembles, lowers their heads, shuts their mouths, and takes notes.

Who dares to argue? Who dares to interrupt?

No one dares!

You are the sole will, and everyone else merely carries out your commands. This is absolute power.

“Hou Xiaoyan, right?”

Xu Shaochen turned, giving her a warm smile.

The rest of the sales clerks looked on with envy, jealousy, and hatred, thinking that Xu Shaocheng had taken a liking to her.

“Y-yes… Young Master Xu, do you have any orders?”

Even though Hou Xiaoyan had a fierce personality, in front of Xu Shaochen, she was as obedient as a schoolgirl, not even daring to raise her voice.

After all, the impression Young Master Xu had left on her was overwhelming. It made her feel a deep sense of fear and respect.

“I want to invite you out to talk. It’s about something related to a friend of mine. Is that okay?”

Xu Shaochen asked.

“Sure.”

Hou Xiaoyan nodded. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to refuse; she simply didn’t dare to.
