chapter 7 It is gold that will eventually shine

Alan Xu didn't want to sign so ostentatiously, but from now on, this would be his company. If he didn't establish his authority now, there might be resistance to managing the company in the future. Besides, he wanted Eric, who was about to fire him, to know who had the power to dismiss whom!
Then, in front of everyone, he signed the equity transfer agreement.
"Wade Tang, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and sign! Don't you want this five hundred million?" Bert Shen was very dissatisfied with Wade Tang's performance.
"Alright, Mr. Shen, I'll sign right away!" Wade Tang woke up as if from a dream. He hurriedly took out a pen from his front pocket and signed his name on the agreement!
He had known that Bert Shen's success today was due to a tremendously influential figure, someone whose single word had brought Bert Shen to his current wealth!
And that influential figure should be Alan Xu, who had been working in his company all along!
He felt incredulous, and at the same time, a chill ran down his spine.
Even if the people present had a thousand doubts in their hearts, now that it was in black and white, the agreement had been reached. Who could still have a reason not to believe?
Originally, Eric Chu, who had been clamoring all along, looked like a deflated eggplant as he watched Wade Tang sign.
He had come to the company early in the morning with the main purpose of buttering up the super-rich new boss!
But he had never expected Alan Xu to be the new boss.
Even Bert Shen, such a prominent figure, had to address him as "Young Master." How high was his status?
Now, not only had he failed to butter up successfully, but he had also offended Alan Xu. On top of that, he had been having ambiguous dealings with Alan Xu's ex-wife if Alan Xu pursued it!
Eric Chu was filled with panic and couldn't bear to think about it...
"Eric Chu, from now on, you are fired. Get out of the company immediately!"
Alan Xu looked down at everyone and issued his first order as the official boss.
"Ah! This can't be, you can't fire me!"
Eric Chu couldn't believe it. He was the one who had been fired. He knelt to the ground, clutching Alan Xu's thigh, begging, "Alan, no, Mr. Xu, I was wrong, I was, please forgive me, please, please don't fire me!"
"Regretting now?" Alan Xu chuckled lightly. "Too late! Get him out!"
With a single sentence, Eric Chu fell into an abyss.
Success, money, women—everything was forever out of his reach at this moment.
The only reason he had become the general manager here was because Wade Tang was his uncle. Outside of this company, he was worth less than nothing!
Eric Chu looked to Wade Tang for help, but Wade Tang acted as if he had seen the god of plagues, immediately turning away. He would not offend a powerful figure like Alan Xu for such a nephew.
To please Alan Xu, Wade Tang proactively called other security guards, "Drive out Eric Chu and the four guards who were involved in the operation!"
"Wade Tang, I heard Eric Chu is your nephew. I believe you won't have any further connections with him, right?" After Eric Chu was driven out, Alan Xu looked at Wade Tang with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Wade Tang's heart sank. He hurriedly shook his head. "Mr. Xu, rest assured, from today on, I will cut off all ties with Eric Chu!"
"You're very good!"
Alan Xu patted Wade Tang's shoulder in satisfaction. He did this not just to vent his frustration. He had originally wanted to stay out of Olivia Lin's love life, but Eric Chu turned out to be even worse than he had imagined. How could he be worthy of Olivia Lin? Moreover, his only goal seemed to be lusting after Olivia Lin's body.
Even though they were divorced, Olivia Lin had disappointed him. However, he couldn't bear to see her hurt by this trash. As long as he stripped Eric Chu of everything, Emma Chen would naturally encourage Olivia Lin to keep her distance from him!
After saying these words, Alan Xu's gaze swept around again. Where his gaze landed, everyone felt an invisible pressure, lowering their heads and not daring to meet Alan Xu's eyes.
"From now on, I will take over everything in the company. Everyone returns to your respective positions, and everyone's salary will be increased by twenty percent!"
Firing Eric Chu was like a fiery start for the new boss, but Alan Xu knew that both kindness and severity were needed for the best outcome!
With this announcement, the atmosphere immediately boiled over. Those who had been trembling with fear before now had smiles on their faces.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu!"
"Long live Mr. Xu!"
"Alan Xu, I knew you were extraordinary!" Luna Su, who had been driven out, came to Alan Xu's side, incredibly excited and thrilled.
As Olivia Lin's best friend, she naturally knew about Alan Xu's kindness to Olivia Lin. She never believed that Alan Xu, such a good person, could be the useless brat and loser Olivia Lin had described.
She had always believed that Alan Xu was like a piece of gold, bound to shine sooner or later!
The current reality told her that Alan Xu was not only gold, he shone brighter than gold!
"Just now, you worried for me." Looking at Luna Su's excited appearance, Alan Xu's heart warmed again. Compared to the others who were thrilled about the pay raise, he could feel Luna Su's genuine happiness for him.
This friend was not chosen in vain!
Next, he continued to announce to everyone in the company, "Luna Su will replace Eric Chu's position from now on!"
Luna Su replacing Eric Chu's position meant she was now the general manager!
Everyone's gaze shifted in shock towards Luna Su!
Although Luna Su was a project leader, in terms of performance and seniority, she wasn't quite there.
How could she be appointed just like that?
"Mr. Xu, no, Mr. Xu, I, I might not be capable of this. I'm afraid I won't do well!" Luna Su was extremely excited at the moment. She was shocked and then hesitated for a moment before speaking her mind.
"Don't worry, you are fully capable of this position! Come with me to the office. I want to talk to you about the company's future development!"
Alan Xu gave Luna Su a reassuring look. If that rascal Eric Chu could become the general manager, Luna Su was certainly more than capable. Moreover, they had worked together for so long, that he knew Luna Su's abilities well. She could handle it.
Then, under the embrace of Bert Shen and Wade Tang, Alan Xu entered the chairman's office.
As the door closed, everyone suddenly remembered why Alan Xu had promoted Luna Su. It was because Luna Su had just spoken up for Alan Xu!
That's why she was able to jump three levels and become the company's general manager!
Amidst the envy and shock, everyone on the scene regretted deeply. They felt so uncomfortable as if they wanted to slap themselves. If only they had spoken up for Alan Xu.
But opportunities like this only came once. No matter how much they regretted it now, it was of no use. They could only envy and hate Luna Su.
In the rest area, Emma Chen and Olivia Lin were unaware that a huge change had taken place in the Jiutai Group upstairs. They were still daydreaming about a bright future. Emma Chen was even looking forward to seeing how Alan Xu, that loser, would be kicked out like a stray dog.
"Olivia, someone's coming out, come over quickly!"
Emma Chen heard movement at the elevator and thought Alan Xu had been kicked out, so she shouted exaggeratedly.
"Mom, I don't want to watch!"
Olivia Lin didn't want to see Alan Xu embarrassed. It would only make her feel that she had been too worthless this past year.
Emma Chen didn't have the intention to continue shouting, but when she stretched her neck and looked towards the elevator, she saw Eric Chu being kicked out by four security guards directly.
"What, what's going on? Olivia, come over and take a look!" Emma Chen couldn't believe it, wearing an expression of disbelief.
"Mom, did Alan Xu get embarrassingly kicked out?"
Olivia Lin walked over impatiently to take a look. Her brows furrowed when she saw the scene, and the corners of her eyebrows wrinkled even more. The one who had been kicked out was Eric Chu!
At this moment, Eric Chu's mind was filled with countless curses. How could anyone bully others like this? He was a super powerful figure far beyond Bert Shen, yet he was still pretending to be a lowly employee... Now, he was in big trouble. He had been kicked out of the company, and his future was completely ruined!
Just as he was about to leave in a daze, Emma Chen and Olivia Lin appeared before him.
Originally, Eric Chu, who had been eyeing Olivia Lin's body, now looked as if he had seen a ghost.
She was Alan Xu's woman!
What happened this morning, when Alan Xu caught him, sent shivers down his spine. He was having an affair with a super-powerful figure's wife!
With Alan Xu's influence, it would be too easy for him to quietly get rid of Eric Chu.
Seeing Eric Chu's reaction, Olivia Lin had a vague sense that something was wrong. Her eyebrows furrowed even more.
