Chapter 299 - 160: Oh No, the Company is Going Bankrupt

Chapter 299: Chapter 160: Oh No, the Company is Going Bankrupt

Everyone was dying to know which company was being so reckless.

"Panshi Venture Capital. They just got a new boss a few days ago. We thought they were about to take off, but now... I’m afraid they’re about to go out of business."

The man spoke with a bitter expression. He was starting to think he might need to look for a new job.

"Hang in there, man. Your new boss is a real badass."

The people next to him patted his shoulder in sympathy.

At the same time, they expressed their admiration for the new boss of Panshi Venture Capital.

Everyone had now witnessed what it meant to be truly reckless.

"DING-DONG~"

Just then, the elevator arrived on the first floor. Everyone poured in, packing it to the brim.

A completely different scene from a moment ago, when Xu Xiyue had the elevator all to herself.

「Meanwhile, at Panshi Venture Capital.」

In the boss’s office, Chen Mo received a WeChat message.

A smile spread across Chen Mo’s face as he read the message.

He stood up, walked out of his office, and entered the main work area.

"CLAP CLAP CLAP~"

Chen Mo clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the managers and employees who were already in the office.

Seeing that Chen Mo had something to say, everyone immediately stood up and gathered around him.

There were a few fewer faces in the office compared to the last meeting.

For instance, the general manager and the heads of the finance and HR departments were all gone.

In their place, Chen Mo had temporarily appointed a few people he’d selected from middle management to serve as acting heads.

"As you all know, our company has seen some major changes in senior management recently. Many departments are without a head, and our core investment team lacks a leader, which makes it difficult to get work done."

"And for a company to grow and thrive, talent is essential."

"That’s why I’ve invited a well-known heavy hitter from the venture capital world to join our company. She’ll be here any minute, so let’s all go and welcome her together."

Chen Mo glanced around at everyone, announcing the news in a relaxed tone.

"President Chen has a keen eye for talent! A heavy hitter invited by President Chen must be exceptionally capable. I’m certain that under the leadership of President Chen and our new colleague, Panshi Venture Capital will only get better and better!"

Hearing Chen Mo’s words, the man who had been so quick to flatter him last time was once again the first to speak up, his face full of admiration as he spoke with a sincere tone.

Chen Mo shot him an appreciative glance. ’Sycophant or not, he wasn’t wrong.’

’Under my leadership and Xu Xiyue’s, Panshi Venture Capital will definitely keep getting better.’

The man’s name was Gu Hui, and he was one of the company’s middle managers.

After Chen Mo took over, he had a good impression of Gu Hui and had him temporarily take over as the acting head of his department to help manage things.

And sure enough, Gu Hui handled matters methodically, demonstrating considerable ability.

Moreover, thanks to the promotion and trust Chen Mo had shown him, Gu Hui now followed his lead completely, sticking close to his new boss.

’Who wouldn’t like a subordinate who’s perceptive, knows how to flatter, and is also highly competent?’

’His name was a little unfortunate, but that wasn’t a big deal.’

"If she’s a heavy hitter President Chen recruited himself, she must be incredibly capable."

"I can’t wait to meet our new colleague!"

"We’ll be sure to give our new colleague a warm welcome."

"..."

Once everyone else snapped out of it, they also began to chime in with their own flattery, expressing their excitement to welcome the new colleague.

Still, they all looked at Gu Hui with envy. Ever since he was the first to step up, suck up, and firmly support the new boss...

...the new boss had promoted him and given him significant responsibilities.

It was obvious his career was about to take off.

But what could they do? The guy was just quick on the uptake.

Just then, the young receptionist came running over, looking nervous.

"President Chen, she... she’s here. She said she’s here to start working at our company..."

The receptionist came up to Chen Mo, gave a slight bow, and spoke, completely flustered.

When she saw the woman walking toward her, she had subconsciously taken a step back.

She was even more shocked and incredulous when the woman said she was there to start work.

Even though she was just a receptionist, she knew who the woman was.

Not daring to act on her own, she had no choice but to come and ask for instructions.

"Quick, show her in. She’s our new colleague."

Chen Mo immediately said to the receptionist with a smile.

"Ah? O-Okay, I’ll go right now..."

Hearing Chen Mo confirm it himself, the receptionist’s eyes went wide. Once she came to her senses, she immediately trotted off to greet the visitor.

Seeing the receptionist’s reaction, the employees grew extremely curious. Who on earth was this new colleague, to elicit such a shocked response?

"CLICK, CLACK, CLICK..."

Soon, the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor grew closer, and everyone turned to look toward the entrance.

The receptionist led the way, her expression a little strange. Following behind her was a tall, gorgeous woman with a breathtaking figure.

Upon seeing this beautiful woman, everyone’s eyes widened in utter shock.

Someone even rubbed their eyes, wondering if they’d been... ’rewarding’ themselves a bit too often lately and were starting to see things.

’Could it be? The new colleague the boss mentioned, the heavy hitter he recruited himself... was Xu Xiyue?’

Now they understood why the receptionist had looked so stunned.

Anyone would have had the same reaction upon hearing that Xu Xiyue was going to be their new colleague.

Take them, for instance. They subconsciously glanced at the colleagues around them.

They all stared at each other, seeing the same confusion, disbelief, and a hint of worry on one another’s faces.

They had just gotten a new boss, and everyone had thought he would run the company properly.

But who would have thought that the new boss would immediately turn around and drop such a bombshell on them!
