Revealing the Truth!
"Until recently, when Little Taylor was planning to shut down the entire R&D department, including your engine development team, you used your exceptional eloquence to successfully persuade Little Taylor to change his mind and launch the development plan for the new model."
"I think you must have told him that a new engine is about to be developed and that its performance is extremely powerful!"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but ponder. Indeed, the former boss Little Taylor, originally intended to close the entire R&D department, but later, for some unknown reason, he suddenly changed his mind and even aggressively launched a new model development plan. They had been wondering about this before, but now that Chen Mo had said this, everything made sense.
Although Eddicott didn't know why Chen Mo knew so much about his manipulation of Little Taylor, he wouldn't just admit it. It might just be his guess and didn't prove anything.
But just as he was about to speak up in rebuttal, Chen Mo spoke again, silencing him once more. It seemed that Chen Mo had completely grasped his psychology, always managing to disrupt his rhythm and completely suppressing him with his aura, making him afraid to interrupt Chen Mo. Eddicott could only listen to Chen Mo continue speaking with frustration.
"I must say, your appearance, behavior and language are indeed very deceptive. People who don't know you will really think of you as a responsible and dedicated engineer who is devoted to research and development."
"Even your slamming of the table and outburst just now was just an act. You just wanted to tell us about your indispensable role in the company and the serious consequences of firing you, so that I would be wary and others who don't know the truth would plead for you."
"You think that since I just took over the company, I don't know much about the situation, and this list might just have been made by a random research firm. But once I know your important position and that most of the senior management is against it, I will definitely waver and may very well change my mind."
The few people who had just tried to plead for him realized they had been tricked and almost used as pawns. Ashamed, they glared angrily at Eddicott, and the others' gazes towards him changed as well.
Unexpectedly, Eddicott, whom they had always regarded as a simple scientific researcher, turned out to be so eloquent and cunning.
They had all been deceived by his appearance, thinking he was an honest, hardworking, and dedicated person who was devoted to engine research. Now it seems they were very wrong!
With his carefully constructed facade exposed, Eddicott's face flushed red and paled in turns. Finally, he stopped pretending altogether and glared at Chen Mo with a ferocious and hateful expression.
He knew that with Chen Mo controlling the pace, he wouldn't have a chance to speak if Chen Mo didn't want to, so he simply stopped talking and just glared at Chen Mo.
But in his eyes, a hint of apprehension was unmistakable. He had disguised himself so well that no one in the company had noticed for so many years. How did this suddenly appearing young boss know so much, and even know everything he had done? This made him feel somewhat apprehensive.
However, he hadn't lost yet. All of this was just Chen Mo's speculation. Even if his true colors were discovered, so what? He could just quit. Anyway, he had already planned to switch jobs and had even chosen his next employer. So, although Eddicott was angry and wary of Chen Mo, he wasn't flustered.
What can Chen Mo do besides kick him out of the company? He even has to pay him a large sum of severance pay!
However, Chen Mo's next words immediately lifted his relaxed mood.
"I suppose that in all your years at the company, even if you embezzled most of the R&D funds, the engine R&D team couldn't have achieved nothing. It's just that you suppressed it all. You were afraid that once the engine was actually developed, Little Taylor would reduce or even stop the R&D investment, just like he did with the other teams, and then you wouldn't be able to continue to make money from it."
"It wasn't until Little Taylor decided to close the R&D department that you had to bring out your previous achievements, real R&D results. With your exaggeration and persuasion, you successfully convinced Little Taylor to start the development of a new car model. This way, you could make one last big profit and then leave. I suppose you've already found another job and are ready to continue making money this way in a different place."
"You just didn't expect that I would announce the restart of the new model development plan, which gave you another opportunity to make money. You were originally happy to stay here and make a lot of money, but I'm going to fire you, which ruined your plans. So you tried to incite everyone to put pressure on me."
"Unfortunately, I saw through your true colors long ago."
"I not only know what you've done in the company, but I also know why you've been so audacious as to embezzle research and development funds."
This time, Eddicott finally looked a little flustered. How could he possibly know everything?!
What Chen Mo said earlier is almost entirely true; he seems to know everything about what he did.
If Chen Mo truly knows even the reasons why he embezzled research and development funds, then Chen Mo has likely already uncovered all of his secrets, and he may have already caught him doing things at the company. Perhaps Chen Mo even has evidence of his embezzlement of research and development funds...
Under Eddicott's utterly panicked gaze, Chen Mo spoke slowly.
"At the company, you pretend to be a hardworking and diligent engineer, but outside, you are a scumbag who indulges in all sorts of vices!"
"Your wife divorced you long ago, taking the children with her, because of your many misdeeds. Your private life has always been extremely chaotic, and you call a number of prostitutes to come to your door every night to provide services."
Upon hearing this, the crowd below couldn't help but turn to look at Eddicott's thin figure, their eyes revealing a strange meaning.
"The reason you are so thin is not because you are too tired from work, too hard at research, or any other reason, but because you are addicted to drugs! Long-term use of various drugs has caused considerable damage to your body, which has led to your thinness and poor spirit. However, this image, under your deliberate disguise, has helped you create the illusion that you are working hard and neglecting your meals."
"What? He actually does drugs!"
