Ronald clearly enjoyed his position as an elder in the company. He raised his head slightly and said to Quin, "President Lin, since you say so, I will say it."
After a pause, Ronald's face darkened and he said, "President Lin, I think you've been in a mess recently."
"Uncle Xie, why do you say that?" Quin's expression changed as she looked at Ronald.
Ronald snorted and said, "What else do I need to say about Fade? A young doctor who has only been recruited for less than a week has been put in charge of the company's biggest order of tens of millions worth. What will other colleagues in the company think of it? What will those employees who are responsible for it think about it? Did you not consider these things?"
Quin said, "Uncle Xie, I have my own considerations about Fade's order. Moreover, he has agreed that if he fails to sign the contract, he will leave the company."
"Give Fade a chance to get the Xu Chemicals contract signed. If he succeeds, we will benefit a great deal from it. If doesn't, it won't be a loss to us to terminate a nobody. Uncle Xie, you're being too serious!" Quin said.
Ronald didn't expect Quin to speak for Fade in this way. He was astonished, and then he snorted discontentedly, "On the surface, it seems that there is no loss. But in actual fact, the psychological impact on the company's employees and atmosphere can't be resolved by just firing one person." Ronald said.
Quin frowned slightly. She did not want to argue with elders like Ronald, so she said, "Uncle Xie, we wouldn't know if the impact is good or bad for now. When Dr. Chen comes and tells us the results, it will naturally be clear. Now, this is all meaningless talk."
"President Lin, do you really think that Fade could have successfully signed Xu Chemicals' contract?" Ronald said, "You do know, a year ago, Secretary Qin spent three months using millions in resources, but in the end, he still failed to sign the Xu Chemicals contract. What's more, Fade is just a regular doctor, how can he sign the contract successfully?"
After that, Ronald looked around.
Several executives immediately echoed.
"Yes, President Lin, it's impossible for Fade to sign the contract successfully."
"We've wasted three days for this farce. I think it's enough. There's no need to continue."
"President Lin, many employees have been talking about this matter in the company recently."
A series of objections made Quin frown slightly.
Donald, on the other hand, smiled and then looked at Fade's seat with a troubled look. He said, "President Lin, I didn't expect that so many colleagues have problems with Dr. Chen."
"How about this, I can just forget about this bet with Dr. Chen. After all, we are both colleagues of the company." Donald said.
"We don't want to see Dr. Chen's contract either. We'll just let Dr. Chen apologize to everyone in public, and then issue him a warning. This way, we can assuage all employees in a harmonious way. What do you think, President Lin?" Donald said.
Ronald didn't wait for Quin to express her opinion. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
"Secretary Qin, you are too kind. With just a warning and an apology, this punishment is too light. In my opinion, Fade must be fired." Ronald said.
"Yes, I agree with Manager Xie."
"It's not good for Fade to continue to stay in the company."
"President Lin, I think so too."
After another round of cooperation, they pointed their fingers at Fade’s seat.
Quin frowned and wanted to say something.
At this moment, Fade came back hurriedly with a bag in his hand. "Sorry, I've been delayed for a while. I'm back. And I'll start to report..."
Without waiting for Fade to finish, Ronald fired at Fade. "You don't have to report it. Be prepared for your resignation immediately!" Ronald said.
"Ah-" Fade was surprised.
"What? You should have been gotten rid of a long time ago." Ronald said discontentedly.
Fade said in a low voice, "But I haven't reported my results. I—"
"There is no need to report. How can you sign the contract successfully? You are just wasting everyone's time now." Ronald waved his hand and said.
At this time, Donald chipped in, "Dr. Chen, quit now, save everyone the embarrassment.
Things will only get worse if you let this drag on."
This made Fade understand trouble had been created for him during the time he was away.
His face darkened, and his tone also became serious. He said, "Whether it is good or bad, we will know very soon. Moreover, the person who will leave may not be me, but it could also be you, Secretary Qin?"
"Hehe, it's impossible!" Donald patted the thick stack of contracts in front of him, and he was very confident.
"Nothing is impossible." Fade snorted and looked at Quin, ready to take out the contract to report.
"Don't make a fool out of yourself, quickly-" Ronald said discontentedly.
However, at this moment, Quin coughed and said, "It'll be better for Fade to report on his work first. Let's talk about it when the result comes out!"
Voices faded into silence and they all fixed their eyes on Fade.
Fade did not have much to say. He put the bag on the table, extracted a document, and handed it to Quin. "President Lin, this is the contract signed by me with Xu Chemicals' department," Fade said.
However, before Quin reply, the people present could not help but whisper and laugh at what they had witnessed.
"What the hell? That so- called file bag is actually a plastic grocery bag. It even has the logo of the supermarket on it."
"And the contract - it's only a few pages, no more than five pages. How is it possible?"
"Of course not. This is such an important contract worth tens of millions of dollars. The contract definitely needs to be thicker than that. Look at the contract of Secretary Qin, there are more than 30 pages of paper. That's what you call a formal contract."
"I think Fade went to the printer’s shop and printed himself a copy of a contract and then expects us to believe he successfully signed the contract with Xu Chemicals"
"Seems like this is something Fade would do."
The ensuing sarcastic discussions seemed unending.
Donald looked at Quin and said, "President Lin, everyone has given Dr. Chen a chance. But now, needless to say
"What do you mean by ' Needless to say'?" Fade looked at Donald and said, "You haven't seen my contract yet. How do you know that my contract is fake?"
"Haha, it is pretty obvious it is a fake." Donald said, "Fade, it's too late now. You don't have to deceive yourself. Pack up your things and leave."
"Well, it's not that simple to leave. If this is a fake contract, that would be committing fraud. It's a crime punishable by law." Ronald snorted and snapped.
