Chapter 1941: Disposition Decision

"Director Jin!" Jin Qiuyu began self-criticism first: "Zhongbao has encountered such a major problem; as a director, I bear inescapable responsibility. Afterwards, I will submit my review to the Enterprise Management Bureau.

Moreover, no matter what disciplinary action is taken against me, I will unconditionally accept it and clearly state my firm support for any decision made by the organization."

Chen Xuhua raised his hand: "Although Kong Xingzhong was brought in by Director Liu despite opposition, he has always regarded Director Liu as his benefactor and has been utterly loyal to him.

As a director of Zhongbao, although this director's opinion doesn't count and Director Liu has always been the one making decisions, given the severity of this incident, I still bear some responsibility for inadequate supervision.

Going forward, we will certainly learn from this, take proactive measures, strengthen management, and improve systems—we must confront the problems, identify and fill gaps, and also detect issues and address shortcomings."

Cai Zhenrong also spoke: "I have always been in Xianggang; logically, no matter how serious the problems at headquarters are, they have nothing to do with me. But as Director Jin and Director Chen said, as a group director, when problems arise, responsibility follows.

Going forward, I will calmly accept whatever disciplinary action the organization takes against me. However, while the group's problems are serious, certain directors' personal issues are even more severe.

He is domineering and arrogant toward subordinates, perfunctory toward superiors, engages in factionalism internally, often prioritizes practicality, and practices self-interest, formalism, and bureaucratism.

I propose that the supervisory department focus on key links, strictly enforce oversight, break interest chains, strengthen institutional construction, and severely crack down and remove these harmful elements."

If Jin Qiuyu's speech was self-reflection, Chen Xuhua's was venting emotions to give Liu Wei a pointed look, then Cai Zhenrong was swinging a blade at Liu Wei's carotid artery.

He did not name names, but everyone present—including Zhang Xuan, Ye Zhen, and Liu Yabo—knew in their hearts exactly which director Cai Zhenrong was referring to.

Liu Wei gave Chen Xuhua and Cai Zhenrong a gloomy, sinister look; his hands, hidden beneath the conference table, were clenched tightly into fists. He had already imagined the worst possible outcome, but the actual situation exceeded his expectations—since everyone was now targeting him.

Cai Zhenrong's attack on him, though hard to accept, could be somewhat tolerated, given that Liu Wei had also done underhanded things to Cai Zhenrong. But Chen Xuhua's betrayal at this moment—stabbing him in the back—was something Liu Wei had not anticipated.

Feng Zhen, whose face had remained dark throughout, heard others directing their criticism at Liu Wei and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the appearance of Zhou Andong, Zhang Xuan, and two others—one man and one woman—kept his heart from settling.

In fact, he had already considered a possibility, but since Zhongbao is a military-invested enterprise, he could not bring himself to believe his suspicion was correct.

"I'll also state my position."

Feng Zhen chose to play it safe and protect himself, though deep down he had no confidence he could succeed.

But now that we've reached this point, what must be said must be said—we cannot be like Yao Yao, that brainless woman with big breasts, who shows no reaction at all.

"I will fully support all decisions made by the Management Bureau, and guarantee immediate action and reform, take this as a warning, impose self-pressure, dig deep into the root causes, and carry out comprehensive rectification—no matter who is at fault, those who deserve serious punishment will not be let off lightly."

Yao Yao hesitated, wanting to speak, but secretly glanced at Liu Wei.

Before she could even open her mouth, Liu Wei spoke first.

"I'll also state……"

"Enough!" Gao Weipeng slammed the table: "I didn't come here today to listen to your self-criticisms. If you have anything to say, say it after the meeting."

Liu Wei's heart, which had already sunk to the bottom of the valley, could not rise again. Previously, Gao Weipeng had always been polite and courteous toward him, but now he wouldn't even let him speak—Liu Wei felt as if the sky above him was completely covered in dark clouds.

Zhou Andong's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

To be arranged by the family into Zhongbao means one is no ordinary person.

Besides Yao Yao, whose mind was addled by love, even the youngest troublemaker, Chen Xuhua, is no simple individual.

On the surface, his words seem to be giving Liu Wei eye drops, but upon reflection, it's no less than him making his stance clear.

"Major problems have emerged in the group's management, causing significant losses and extremely negative impacts to the group; someone must come forward to take responsibility."

Gao Weipeng took the document handed to him by Yan Chu, opened it, and said:

"To prevent the recurrence of factionalism, self-interest, formalism, and bureaucratism—practices that have caused irreparable damage to the enterprise—and to enhance the enterprise's quality and efficiency, the top leadership has decided to optimize and restructure Zhongbao by introducing private capital."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wei and Feng Zhen's bodies trembled, their eyes became evasive and unclear, and they secretly gritted their back teeth until they felt like they might shatter—finally understanding why Zhou Andong had appeared here.

Damn it, they were still feeling smug about the investigation team's arrival at Yuzhou Technology, but Zhou Andong had directly taken their home.

Gao Weipeng looked up at everyone, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Do you think the private capital being introduced is from the Yugong Group?"

"Huh?"

Everyone froze; Jin Qiuyu and Quan Xin's faces changed dramatically, and they both turned to look at Zhou Andong.

If Zhou Andong loses this time, they will certainly be eliminated too—but where exactly is the problem?

However, seeing Zhou Andong's calm expression, their hearts eased slightly.

Cai Zhenrong and Chen Xuhua frowned, puzzled: What's going on? Could the information we received be wrong?

Then the two also looked toward Zhou Andong: if the information is wrong, how could this brat possibly be here?

Gao Zhen and Liu Wei exchanged glances, their eyes flickering—they were truly stunned.

Although we still don't know how Zhou Andong ended up here, as long as the introduced capital is not from the Yugong Group, we haven't actually lost.

At this moment, their hearts, which had sunk to the bottom of the valley, began to slowly rise again.

Gao Weipeng was very satisfied with the change in everyone's expressions: "Now, I will first announce the management's handling decision."

"Ah?"

Everyone was again surprised, inwardly complaining: You're the head of the supervisory department—this is such an important meeting—how can you speak so inconsistently, east one moment, west the next?

"Give Comrade Cai Zhenrong a warning."

Although Cai Zhenrong was not at home, the group has encountered such a major problem, and as a group leader, responsibility is unavoidable. Moreover, this warning is already the lightest possible penalty.

"Give Comrades Jin Qiuyu, Quan Xin, and Chen Xuhua admonitory talks and notify them of disciplinary action; give Comrade Feng Zhen a major demerit and remove him from all positions;

give Comrade Liu Wei a major demerit, remove him from all positions, and give Comrade Yao Yao a major demerit, admonitory talk, and demotion……"

This result was already anticipated in the hearts of Jin Qiuyu, Cai Zhenrong, and Chen Xuhua.

However, Liu Wei, Feng Zhen, and Yao Yao found it hard to accept—they truly never imagined they would be expelled from the group and management.
