The Company is in a Slump

Unlike Zhao Guangwei, who was looking for someone in the office, Zhuang Xin sat in the car in the exhibition hall, touching the steering wheel.

The feel of this, wow, no words.

And this interior, it's simply perfect.

The model next to him lowered her head and giggled, "My name is Lin Xiaonian, and I'm in charge of this car. How about... I take you for a spin?"

"Lin Xiaonian?" Zhuang Xin glanced at the model. She was quite sweet-looking, and seemed like she hadn't been working for long. As she spoke, there was a hint of shyness, her face blushing...

As for her figure, she was tall and slender, definitely above an eight out of ten.

"Sure! Get in." Zhuang Xin opened the car door. Another car model next to him secretly regretted it. How could this young man not be an ordinary person if the boss of the auto show personally signaled to him? If only she could have gotten close to him...

Unfortunately, the car door was already open, and Lin Xiaonian, being quick-witted, got in.

As the car ignited, a roar followed.

It was like the low growl of a beast, igniting a desire to conquer it!

Just as he was about to drive the car away, a figure rushed over and blocked the front of the car, "Wait!"

Seeing the person who arrived, Lin Xiaonian's delicate body trembled, and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.

"What's going on? Didn't I say no one is allowed to test drive this car? Why is someone in it?" Xu Cun stepped forward and reached out to open the car door, but it was already locked by Zhuang Xin, and he couldn't open it after several tries.

"Open it! Do you know what this car is for? And what are you guys doing, just watching someone drive the car away?"

Xu Cun was going crazy. Not only had he offended a major client, but now this car had almost been test-driven.

If anything happened to it, would he still be able to keep his job as manager?

"Heh, how about that? I didn't lie to you, did I? If you were any later, the car would be gone without a trace," Zhao Guangwei said, walking out with his arms crossed, his belly protruding, and a face full of mockery.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, the boss of the auto show upstairs frowned. A staff member next to him quickly ran down, "Manager Xu, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you."

"What is there to say? This car is for exhibition, for building fame and advertising... it's not for sale, nor is it a car from our dealership. It was brought over from somewhere else. If it gets scratched, who will compensate for the loss?"

Xu Cun angrily ran to Zhuang Xin's car window and roared, "Open the door, open it for me."

Hearing this, Zhuang Xin frowned and slowly rolled down the window.

"What's wrong with you? Who agreed to let you test drive the car? And you, Lin Xiaonian, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're a specially approved manager. Believe it or not, one phone call from me can send you back where you came from! Hurry up and open the door?"

"Manager Xu... I..." Lin Xiaonian's red lips parted slightly, then closed again.

Zhuang Xin glanced at Lin Xiaonian. He wasn't an unreasonable person.

Since they had already said that this car wasn't a car from the auto show's current inventory but was borrowed... he couldn't force them, could he? After all, he hadn't paid for the car.

He opened the door, got out of the car, and then said to Lin Xiaonian, "Interested in switching cars for a spin?"

Xu Cun carefully closed the car door, pulled out the key, and almost pointed at Zhuang Xin's nose, roaring, "You want to touch other cars? Go for a spin? Get lost, get out of here immediately!"

Lin Xiaonian also bit her red lips tightly and lowered her head.

Zhuang Xin shrugged and said nothing more.

The things here weren't his. He came here to get the car as a gift from Qu Hongyun. If he caused trouble here, it would not only make things difficult for Qu Hongyun but also waste his good intentions.

If they didn't give it to him, they didn't. When asked later, he would just say he didn't want it anymore.

After all, apart from this Koenigsegg, he wasn't very fond of anything else here.

When he got back, he would see if there were any channels to get another luxury car.

"Okay." Zhuang Xin put his hands in his pockets and was about to leave.

Zhao Guangwei let out a cold, disdainful smile.

Just then, Wen Yaohe, who was not far away, saw this and her face lit up with joy. "This is the perfect time for me to show up. Young Master Zhuang is in trouble."

Thinking of this, she hurried over, but Zhao Guangwei, who was nearby, saw her and grabbed her wrist. "Oh, isn't this Yaohe? What's the matter, I didn't see you last night. I was going to treat you."

Seeing this person, Wen Yaohe immediately felt guilty and wanted to leave.

"What are you still standing there for? Get lost!" Seeing that Zhuang Xin hadn't left, Xu Cun roared again.

"Oh."

Zhuang Xin turned around silently. Before he could take a step, he heard a series of footsteps.

Ma Heng, with his extraordinary demeanor, arrived in front of Xu Cun and affectionately tidied the collar of his clothes.

Seeing this, Xu Cun thought he was being praised by the boss and showed a fawning smile.

"Little Xu." Ma Heng's smile carried a hint of coldness.

But Xu Cun seemed not to notice.

"Boss, you say, I'll listen."

"Hmm..."

Ma Heng pondered for a few seconds and said, "You don't need to come to work tomorrow. Go back and pack your things."

"Ah? Don't need to work?"

"Yeah, the company's been doing poorly lately and we're laying people off."

"Doing poorly? How is that possible?"

Xu Cun was stunned.

The company doing poorly?

Right now, their company was in its peak season, with sales breaking historical records. How could it be doing poorly?

"Boss, I..."

"Don't say another word."

Ma Heng clenched his fist abruptly, veins bulging on his face, his complexion unnaturally flushed. His eyes seemed like they could kill.

"There have been quite a few discrepancies in the company's reports lately, and many numbers don't add up. Before you leave, you need to reconcile these accounts. Also, I'll assign someone to work with you on this!"

The boss's voice boomed like muffled thunder, causing Xu Cun's legs to go weak, and he collapsed onto the floor.

Reconcile the accounts?

This was a death sentence for him.

After all, at their level, they had taken kickbacks quite often.

There were also other loopholes in the accounts, like adding a few thousand here and there to invoices, and then fiddling with them later. No one would be able to tell.

Over the years, he had pocketed at least several million.

If this investigation went ahead, and the accounts were meticulously checked, he would be exposed immediately...

This... this meant going to jail!

Normally, the boss turned a blind eye to such things.

The previous manager had served his five years and retired with honors.

Why was it that when it came to him, they suddenly wanted to audit the accounts?

Xu Cun had already lost his head, his eyes filled with terror.

He was seconds away from kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

Unfortunately, no one spared him another glance. After today, Xu Cun was completely finished.
