Unparalleled medical and martial arts skills, saving the CEO's fiancée at the start.

The next morning at nine o'clock, the multi-functional hall of Jiang's Group was packed.

Jiang Ruoxi stood on the stage, wearing a black fitted suit. She looked like a newly drawn knife, sharp, calm, and with a cold light that made people afraid to look directly at her.

The audience consisted of the company's middle and senior management, representatives from various branches, and even some long-time directors who were not usually at headquarters.

The venue was very quiet, so quiet that you could hear the hum of the air conditioning vents.

"Today's meeting is for only one thing." Jiang Ruoxi didn't say anything, didn't exchange pleasantries, and went straight to the point.

"Five days ago, someone started spreading a rumor within the company that I had eloped with Minister Ye of the Security Department. The rumor started with a post from a clerk and spread throughout the entire Jiangcheng business community within 48 hours after being forwarded in several WeChat groups and internal forums. During the five days I was away, the company's stock price dropped by three points."

The audience was completely silent, and several people who had discussed the matter privately before unconsciously lowered their heads.

Jiang Ruoxi's gaze swept across the faces of those people one by one, as if she were calling out names, or as if she was just looking around.

"I was away on a business trip for five days to discuss a project. My itinerary is documented, and I have receipts for all expenses. This evidence will be posted on the company's intranet this afternoon. As for that rumor, I had the security and technical departments investigate it overnight. Now, I'm calling a few people in."

She nodded toward the side door of the conference room.

The side door opened, and two security guards led in a young woman who looked to be in her late twenties.

The woman's face was deathly pale, her eyes were red from crying, and she kept her head down, not daring to look at anyone. It was Qian Xiaoduo from the administration department.

Behind her followed Sun Guanghai from the Human Resources Department. He was in his forties, with a livid face and his legs trembling slightly as he walked.

"Qian Xiaoduo, you tell me yourself." Jiang Ruoxi's voice was cold and devoid of any warmth.

Qian Xiaoduo's lips moved, and after a long while, she spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "That post... was posted by Sun Guanghai. He said that President Jiang wasn't in the company and asked me to post something casually to test the waters. He also said that if I was asked about it, I should delete it. He said... it was Hu Tian's wife who asked him to arrange it this way. I was just helping out. I was just confused for a moment..."

A slight commotion arose in the hall.

Hu Tian, ​​one of the directors of the Jiang Group, is a notorious shrew. Relying on his small shareholding, he often contradicts Jiang Ruoxi at board meetings.

If this matter is truly related to his wife, then the nature of the situation changes completely.

"President Jiang, this is a frame-up!" Sun Guanghai exclaimed, his voice cracking. "Qian Xiaoduo is talking nonsense! When did I say such a thing? Do you have any evidence? You can't just accuse me based on what a clerk said!"

Jiang Ruoxi ignored him and gestured with her chin toward Ye Chen below the stage.

Ye Chen understood, opened the laptop in his hand, and connected it to the projector.

A series of call logs and several WeChat screenshots appeared on the screen.

The time, number, and content are all clearly recorded.

The moment those screenshots appeared, Sun Guanghai's face completely lost its color.

"Sun Guanghai, you're fired. HR will pursue your illegal gains according to the contract, and the company's legal department will sue you for damaging the company's reputation and business credibility. Qian Xiaoduo, you can leave now too."

After Jiang Ruoxi finished speaking, she stopped looking at them and instead looked past the crowd, landing on a middle-aged man who had gained weight in the back row.

The man was wiping the sweat from his neck with a handkerchief, his expression more painful than crying; it was Hu Tian.

"Mr. Hu, did your wife come today?" Jiang Ruoxi asked casually.

Hu Tian jumped up from his chair in shock: "Mr. Jiang... my wife... this has nothing to do with me, I really didn't know anything about it."

"Unaware?" Jiang Ruoxi slowly walked off the stage, her heels tapping on the floor, each step like a blow to Hu Tian's heart.

"In Sun Guanghai's transfer records, the payee is your family's housekeeping company. Your wife's cousin works as an accountant in that company. Fifty thousand yuan was transferred from your family's housekeeping company account to Sun Guanghai, and then to Qian Xiaoduo. Chairman Hu, where did your family's money come from, and who did it go to? You really have no idea?"

Everyone in the room held their breath, watching Hu Tian make a fool of himself. Some looked on with schadenfreude, while others were beaming with satisfaction. Hu Tian had often abused his position as a director in the company, but today he had finally met his match.

"President Jiang, I... I'll go back and ask my wife. If it's true, I apologize and accept the punishment." Hu Tian slumped back down, his voice so soft it sounded like he was talking to himself.

"Ask? No need. Your wife is downstairs today. I had someone invite her." Jiang Ruoxi tilted her head, and the side door opened again. A fat woman wearing a mink coat was half-supported and half-pushed into the venue by two female security guards.

She burst in and started yelling, her voice shrill and high-pitched: "What are you doing! What are you doing! Do you know who I am? I'm Hu Tian's wife! How dare you treat me like this!"

Jiang Ruoxi turned around and took a few steps towards the woman. Her expression wasn't exactly angry, but rather carried a hint of mockery: "Mrs. Hu, do you know who I am?"

Mrs. Hu, intimidated by her imposing manner, lowered her voice slightly, but still retorted defiantly, "Aren't you just a servant girl from the Jiang family? Let me tell you, my husband owns shares in your company! You dare to lay a finger on me!"

"Touch you? Why would I touch you?" Jiang Ruoxi suddenly laughed, a laugh that sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

"I just want to tell you that the evidence chain for your posting rumors is complete. The company's legal department and the police will be here soon. You can continue to make trouble, it's fine. I'm a reasonable person."

Jiang Ruoxi stepped forward and whispered in Mrs. Hu's ear: "If you dare to say another word about me and Ye Chen behind our backs, I will make sure that you and Hu Tian can no longer stay in Jiangcheng. You know I always keep my word."

Mrs. Hu's face turned completely pale in that instant, her legs went weak, and she would have collapsed to the ground if the two female security guards hadn't been supporting her.

The entire venue was deathly silent. Everyone witnessed how President Jiang, who was usually ruthless and decisive in the business world, had utterly defeated Hu Tian and his wife with just a few words.

After the meeting, Jiang Ruoxi returned to her office.

Ye Chen followed him in, closed the door behind him, and said with a smile, "President Jiang fought a great battle today. That fat Hu even lost a shoe when he left."

Jiang Ruoxi took off her suit jacket and draped it over the back of the chair, rubbed her temples, and said softly, "The more you back down with this kind of person, the more aggressive he becomes. I've wanted to deal with him for a long time, but I just haven't had a reason. This time, his wife delivered herself to my door, so it's a good opportunity to take care of her at the same time."

Ye Chen walked behind her and naturally started massaging her shoulders: "Don't think too much. The big fish is still in deep water and will surface sooner or later. Your warning today will at least quiet Hu Tian and his gang for a while. Once Lao Song finds out Han Dong, we'll follow the clues."

Ye Chen's grip was just right, and Jiang Ruoxi closed her eyes comfortably, leaning back in her chair unconsciously.

"Ye Chen," she called softly.

"Um?"

"If they think I, Jiang Ruoxi, am just a businesswoman who can be manipulated at will, they are sorely mistaken." She opened her eyes, her gaze clear and firm.

Why?

"Even businessmen can bite when pushed to the limit, and besides, I've never been a good-tempered person."

Ye Chen laughed and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "What a coincidence, I just love your intimidating look."
