The heavens set sail from the courtyard

As soon as Wang walked out of Mr. Yang's office and returned to his workstation, Li Ziwen and some colleagues surrounded him.

"Brother Fang, what does Mr. Yang want from you?"

Wang Gang sneered and said, "It's not like you don't know Mr. Yang. Good things will come to me. The company is about to be merged and acquired. Mr. Yang wants me to be in charge of the merger and acquisition case."

Li Ziwen said in confusion: "Isn't that a good thing? It means that Mr. Yang thinks highly of you, and you are going to be promoted!"

Wang Gang discovered that Li Ziwen's words were approved by most people, and he couldn't help but feel sad for Fangyuan.

Li Ziwen is a veteran who has been in the company for more than ten years, so it is impossible that he cannot see the hidden risks in the merger and acquisition.

He didn't want to do it himself, so he encouraged Wang Gang to do it. His intention was to be punished.

Colleagues in the workplace are also competitors after all. There are only so many management positions in the company. One less competitor means one more opportunity.

Everyone in the company could not be all fools, but no one chose to remind Wang Gang because they all wanted to be wise and protect themselves.

If Fangyuan was not kind to his colleagues in normal times and none of them turned to him at critical moments, in the final analysis he still had himself to blame.

In the past, Fangyuan didn't strive for advancement, and he was very lax even with his subordinates, so that no one was afraid of him, and they even thought he was weak and could be bullied, and he was just a victim.

In the TV series, after Fangyuan led the successful merger and acquisition, Mr. Yang went to work and no one in the company helped him. This was not because of the distortion of human nature, but because of the unspoken rules of the workplace.

What's more important is that no one believes that Fangyuan can make a comeback, so naturally they won't die with him.

Wang Gang sees these colleagues very clearly.

In the morning, after looking for Wang Gang, Mr. Yang looked for Li Ziwen and some other colleagues. Without exception, everyone came out of Mr. Yang's office with unhappy expressions.

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Mr. Yang came out and said to everyone:
"I have two things to announce now. First, Fangyuan has caused great losses to the company due to work mistakes. After careful consideration and decision by the management, he will be removed from his position as supervisor."

As soon as Mr. Yang opened his mouth, it was like throwing a stone into the calm water, and many people pointed at Wang Gang's back.

"I will announce the second thing next." Mr. Yang coughed and continued: "Fang Yuan's original position will be temporarily replaced by Li Ziwen, and he will lead the subsequent mergers and acquisitions."

Li Ziwen walked out with a smile and said to everyone: "I hope you can support my work in the future!"

The whispers gradually became louder, and Mr. Yang said loudly: "Starting from today, Fangyuan will be transferred to the General Affairs Department."

Wang Gang sat there calmly, not too surprised by his transfer.

Mr. Yang glanced at him proudly, and then said: "Fang Yuan, pack your things as soon as possible and go to HR!"

Wang Gang stood up and asked Mr. Yang: "Can I know what mistakes I made and what losses I caused to the company?"

Mr. Yang snorted coldly: "Don't you know it yourself? Do you want me to tell you?"

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Even if you want to transfer me, you have to give me a reason."

Mr. Yang said angrily: "Do you still need me to tell you about your usual work performance?"

Wang Gang asked again: "What happened to my work performance? Which of the tasks you assigned me have not been completed?"

Li Ziwen suddenly said: "Fang Yuan, look at your current attitude. Is it the attitude a subordinate should have towards a leader? For this reason, is it wrong for Mr. Yang to transfer you?"

Wang Gang glanced sideways at Li Ziwen. This man was a good interpretation of what it means to be in troubled times.

In the morning, he called Wang Gang "brother", but now he calls him by his first name.

Wang Gang shook his head and said: "Li Ziwen, be careful of being used as a spear by others and getting yourself involved."

Li Ziwen said angrily: "Fang Yuan, please pack your things and leave immediately. You are no longer from our department."

Wang Gang sneered and said, "I will leave even if you don't tell me."

Mr. Yang said to Li Ziwen: "Watch Fangyuan clean up. Nothing in our department can be taken away."

"Don't worry! Mr. Yang." Li Ziwen said doggedly.

Wang Gang packed up a few personal belongings and then went to find the company's HR Manager Pan.

Manager Pan directly took out a transfer letter and said to Wang Gang: "Fang Yuan, this is your transfer letter. Starting tomorrow, you will be transferred to the General Affairs Department, and your salary will be reduced to [-] a month."

Wang Gang glanced at the transfer letter. It said that he was demoted and had a pay cut due to work mistakes, but the specific reason was not stated.

"If there's no problem, just sign it!" Manager Pan said domineeringly.

Wang Gang picked up the transfer letter, first took a photo with his mobile phone, and then slowly put it down without signing.

"The company has no reason to cut my salary or demote me, which violates labor laws. I will apply for labor arbitration." Wang Gang said calmly. What HR is doing now is to force him to resign.

Fangyuan used to be a junior manager of the legal department, and his monthly salary was not only [-] but also [-]. If it was suddenly reduced to [-], it would be a waste of money.

"You can go to labor arbitration if you want, but I want to remind you that during the arbitration period, the company has the right to stop paying wages." Manager Pan said confidently.

"Do you want to delay me for a few months and force me to resign on my own initiative?" Wang Zangzhang said with a smile:
"As the former head of the company's legal department, I need to remind you that in normal times, it might not be a big deal for you to do this. Employees who have had no income for several months will soon be unable to withstand the financial pressure and voluntarily withdraw from arbitration."

Manager Pan sneered inwardly, thinking that Wang Gang was just showing off. In the past, in order to lay off people, especially some senior executives, he would use salary cuts and demotions to force them to resign voluntarily without the company having to pay a penny.

Some people will indeed apply for labor arbitration, but what's the use? As long as the company keeps dragging out the arbitration results, those executives will have no income for several months, but they still have to pay their mortgage and car loans, and they will soon succumb.

Manager Pan has investigated Wang Gang and knows that he is a harmless and honest man.

It's a pity that Wang Gang is not Fangyuan.

"The company is now in a critical period of mergers and acquisitions. Once a labor dispute occurs and reputation is affected, do you think the other company will hold on to it and seize the opportunity to make a big move." Wang Gang sneered.

Manager Pan's expression changed.

"Do you think too highly of yourself? Do you think you alone can influence the company?"

Wang Gang said confidently: "Have you not read my resume? I graduated from Law University. Many of my classmates work in red circle offices and courts. It is not easy to make things big."

Manager Pan finally realized how powerful Wang Gang was.

In fact, not to mention Manager Pan, maybe even Fangyuan himself didn't realize how terrifying his hidden circle of contacts was.

Although Fangyuan has no ambitions and is getting by, he is still a top student at Law University. Many of his classmates have entered top law firms in the capital, and some have become judges, and some have even entered the disciplinary inspection department.

Is this an incredible network of contacts?

If ordinary people had such resources, they wouldn't be able to be like Fangyuan.

Wang Gang tilted his head and seemed to be talking to himself: "I remember a classmate who seemed to work in the anti-corruption department."

Manager Pan couldn't sit still at all.

Medical companies like theirs have too many bad debts with hospital directors. Once investigated, the problem will be serious!

"Director Fang, please wait a moment." Manager Pan took out the phone and called Mr. Yang directly.

Now that things have developed like this, it is no longer his responsibility as an HR person. Since the matter was caused by Mr. Yang, Manager Pan will not take the blame.

Mr. Yang had already got off work and was about to drive home. Unexpectedly, such a troublesome thing happened. He hurried to the human resources department and saw the confident Wang Gang.

"Fang Yuan, what do you want?" Mr. Yang felt that his teeth were itching.

Wang Gang sneered and said: "It's okay if the company wants to fire me. I'll compensate you in accordance with the labor law. Don't use those shameful tricks. If you want to play, I will accompany you to the end."

Mr. Yang said angrily: "Don't think you are the only one who knows people. I also know people from the Procuratorate."

Wang Gang smiled and said: "I have worked in this company for more than 20 years. I dare not tell you everything about the bad things in the company, but I know about it."

Mr. Yang was really panicked now.

"Fang Yuan, do you still want to be in this business?" Mr. Yang threatened.

"I am a broken earthen pot, nothing matters." Wang Gang said proudly: "Mr. Yang, can you bear all the consequences?"

Mr. Yang hesitated!

Manager Pan pulled Mr. Yang and called him aside.

"Mr. Yang, is what Fangyuan said true? How many of the company's 'core secrets' does he hold?"

Mr. Yang said with a dark face: "He has been in the company for more than 20 years and is more senior than me. God knows what he has mastered?"

Manager Pan had a big headache and felt that Mr. Yang was cheating him.

"Otherwise, we'll just pay compensation. There's no need to cause a fight. Now is the critical moment for the company's merger. If something goes wrong, neither you nor I can bear it."

Mr. Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Based on his salary, how much compensation will he have to pay for dismissal?"

When it comes to his major, Mr. Pan quickly gave the answer.

"More than 100 million!"
