154: Chapter 154 Once a servant becomes a master, he will be more cruel and ruthless than the master.

The next day.

Qin Xun rarely got up early, and he rode in Xia Ning's sports car to the company.

He sat in the passenger seat, touching the car seat, feeling somewhat happy.

"I'll be getting my salary in a few days."

"I'll finally have money to put gas in my car."

Xia Ning was a bit confused and asked.

"Electric cars need gas too? Is it a hybrid?"

Qin Xun snorted.

"Are you underestimating me?"

"Song Ying gave me a sports car, have you forgotten?"

Xia Ning: "..."

She felt a bit ashamed.

If not for her embezzling the 50,000 yuan Song Ying gave to Qin Xun, he probably would have had money for gas!

Suddenly, she thought of his grandfather, who had been hospitalized due to illness, and felt even more guilty.

"Qin Xun, is your grandfather doing okay?"

"Does he have money for his medical treatment?"

Qin Xun sighed.

"He's doing great!"

"He and my mom team up to nag me all day, telling me to bring a girlfriend home for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Even if I don't have a girlfriend, bringing back a female dog would be fine."

Xia Ning: "..."

That would suit him well.

Qin Xun turned to look at Xia Ning's profile, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Xia Ning, when you come home with me for the Mid-Autumn Festival, dress a bit more plainly. Don't dress so beautifully."

"I'm afraid my family won't be able to handle your elegance."

"They'll think I'm not good enough for you."

Xia Ning curled the corners of her lips slightly.

"You were never good enough for me to begin with."

Qin Xun sneered.

"I'm just not good enough for you."

Suddenly.

Xia Ning realized what was happening. She kept her eyes on the road while driving.

"I don't recall agreeing to go to your house for the Mid-Autumn Festival, did I?"

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning, feeling somewhat helpless.

Who doesn't have a home? Who doesn't want to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival?

It wasn't something he could force.

He hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Then what do you want me to do for you to be willing to pretend to be my girlfriend?"

Xia Ning was silent for a long time, then whispered.

"It depends on your performance."

...

They arrived at the company.

Qin Xun was working on a PPT behind his computer desk, not letting Xia Ning see it.

Xia Ning had a lot of backbone, so if he wouldn't let her see it, she wouldn't look.

She sat on the sofa with Mi Xier.

The two women stared at each other, as if a Taekwondo match were about to break out in the next second.

...

At 9:05 AM.

Five minutes after the workday began, the employees of Oak Company all received an announcement in the company group chat.

[Dear colleagues: During the period when Mr. Qin acts as General Manager, deep reforms will be made to the company's management.

A seminar will be held today at 10:00.

Please ensure all members are dressed in standard attire and attend on time.]

Upon receiving this message.

The employees of Oak Company looked at one another, their expressions not looking particularly good.

A new official brings new rules; they were in for a tiring time!

At 9:40 AM.

The staff of Oak Company filed into the conference room one after another and discovered, to their surprise, a huge pile of snacks and drinks on the table.

Sunflower seeds, peanuts, candies, chocolates, cakes, cola, milk, coffee, and more. It was excessively lavish.

Everyone sat down according to their rank, from front to back.

There was still time, so everyone whispered among themselves.

"A new official brings new rules!"

"Mr. Qin is too impatient, holding a meeting on the very first morning of his tenure."

"Exactly! Business has been good lately, and I have so much to do! A meeting is just a waste of half a day."

"Deep reforms? What kind of changes to company rules and regulations could possibly warrant such a high-sounding term?"

Suddenly.

Someone sighed.

"I once heard a saying: 'Once a servant becomes a master, they will be more cruel and heartless than the original master.'"

"Watch your mouth, watch your mouth!"

"Do you want to die? Saying such blunt truths!"

That corner fell silent for a while.

Then they started whispering again.

"Qin Xun is out in the field every day, braving the wind and rain, flying to Longyuan to sell apples, then flying to Lingnan to sell milk tea."

"Planning proposals one after another; in less than a month, he's made more noise than others do in a lifetime."

"Will he make us learn from him?"

"Learn this 'workaholic' spirit of his?"

Hearing this, everyone felt even more dejected.

"Mr. Qin has been a super model employee since he joined the company, volunteering for overtime every day. This... sigh..."

"I can handle occasional overtime, but every day? I have children at home!"

At this moment.

Someone else said.

"I heard the company is poaching people like crazy, digging up senior talent in the marketing industry."

"Could it be that now that the company is famous and business is good, attracting more capable talent, they're starting to look down on us?"

"They might be implementing a bottom-ranking elimination system!"

"Sigh... I'm middle-aged, with a mortgage, car loan, and kids; I can barely breathe. I just quit my last job."

"If I had known, I would have worked harder and performed better. I don't know if I'll be able to stay."

...

Throughout the conference room, regardless of rank, everyone's mood was not very good.

Cheng Wan sat in the front, and hearing everyone's discussion, her expression was somewhat unpleasant.

She had issued the meeting announcement, but she had absolutely no idea about the specific content for today.

This was the first time that the meeting PPT hadn't been reviewed by their Administration Department before the meeting.

Sigh... After Qin Xun took power, I'm going to be pushed out of the inner circle of Oak Company!

Looking at the lavish snacks on the table, no one had the mood to eat. It felt like a prisoner's last meal in ancient times.

Giving them one last good meal before the axe falls!

At this moment.

The conference room door opened.

The entire conference room went silent instantly!

Qin Xun appeared at the doorway with a slight smile, followed by two beautiful assistants, one on his left and one on his right, looking very imposing.

He turned to look at Xia Ning and whispered.

"Little Xia, just watch my performance later!"

Xia Ning couldn't help but be startled, having a bad feeling.

Was he planning to curry favor with her during the meeting?

To coax her into going home with him for the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Qin Xun walked into the conference room and greeted everyone.

"Good afternoon, everyone!"

A loud cheer erupted in the conference room.

"Good!"

"Very good!"

Xia Ning hugged her laptop, walked quickly to the podium, connected the projector, and opened the computer.

They saw the cover of a PPT displayed on the projector screen at the front of the conference room.

It had several bold, black characters written on it.

[The company is my home, maintenance depends on everyone.]

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

Wasn't this PPT the same content Qin Xun had shared during the morning meeting before?

They kept smiles on their faces, exchanged glances with the people beside them, and cursed in their hearts.

"Look at that!"

"Speak of the devil!"

"Damn it! Another PPT lecture, brainwashing us, making us sacrifice and dedicate ourselves to the company!"

"Are employees beans? Every boss who takes office wants to squeeze us!"

"We're being squeezed dry, damn it!"

...

Qin Xun walked onto the podium.

Xia Ning stepped aside, ready to wait for Qin Xun's instructions at any time.

Meanwhile, the temporary assistant sat in the farthest corner of the conference room.

Xia Ning glanced at her, feeling somewhat displeased.

That corner, which the surveillance camera couldn't reach, had always been her spot.

She actually had a feeling of being cheated on.
