"But we just secured a hundred million in funding last week, how could we possibly go bankrupt that fast?"
"Some things are hard to explain clearly," he responded.
"Ah! With the new boss having such a fiery temper, it looks like we're going to have a rough time ahead," another lamented.
"What's there to be afraid of, we can always quit if it comes to that," someone retorted.
"You can afford to be capricious, but we can't; after all, some of us need to support both the elderly and the children at home."
While the employees outside were all abuzz, Lin Yifan was inside teaching a lesson to the manager of the business department.
When Lin Yifan pushed open the door a moment ago, he saw the manager of the business department sleeping, which he found intolerable; as a manager in charge of dozens of people, how could he be sleeping so carelessly?
"No wonder the staff outside are so lax; it turns out they have a lazy boss," he thought.
The misaligned upper beam distorts the lower, Lin Yifan felt that this rotten company was infested everywhere with rot, and if he allowed them to continue, it would eventually collapse.
He did not want to declare bankruptcy just as he had taken charge, as that would be quite embarrassing.
"Who are you? Why did you hit me?" the business department manager asked angrily, covering his injured face.
"I am your boss! Seeing you slacking off during work hours, I thought you needed a wake-up call," Lin Yifan replied.
"Pah! I can believe anything you say but not this joke," the manager of the business department clearly didn't believe Lin Yifan.
Zhao Ritian's family was so wealthy, they were not yet reduced to selling the company, so he definitely did not believe Lin Yifan's bluff.
"Damn, open your eyes and see clearly! Zhao Ritian has already transferred all his shares to me; from now on, I am your boss," Lin Yifan said angrily, feeling compelled to show the share transfer contract as proof.
The business department manager took a look and realized that indeed, a gentleman named Lin Yifan now wholly owned the company; thus, this person named Lin Yifan was truly their new boss.
"Are you really our boss?" the business department manager still couldn't quite believe it. It all seemed too surreal to be true.
Why would a billionaire's son hand over a company to someone else? Was it really because he had too much money and nowhere to put it? Or was it because this young man was also a wealthy individual who had made a high offer for the company?
The business department manager was full of doubts; he felt that the young man in front of him was no ordinary person.
"Nonsense! Are you illiterate too?" Lin Yifan shouted angrily.
"Boss, I'm sorry, everything has happened so suddenly, I wasn't prepared. Please understand," the business department manager stammered.
Now with the contract clearly in front of him, it was hard for him not to believe.
"Hmph! Starting today, remember this, no sleeping during work hours, or else pack your things and get out!" Lin Yifan commanded, his authority unmistakable.
The business department manager responded nervously, "Understood! Boss."
Having delivered his lesson and laid down his orders, Lin Yifan had sorted out the business department manager; then he walked out of the office, ready to leave the business department.
As he opened the door, the employees of the business department, who were just moments ago busy chattering, instantly switched into work mode, acting as if nothing had happened.
"Hmph! Quick reflexes, eh? Effortlessly adaptive, a skill honed from childhood," Lin Yifan understood the mentality of these employees; after all, he had done the same during his school days.
The teacher would come, and they'd immediately delve into serious study; the teacher would leave, and they'd instantly relax and goof off.
"I'll make this clear here, the company is not a school; if you don't want to work, then get the hell out! Did you hear me clearly?" Lin Yifan shouted loudly.
"We heard you clearly!" At that moment, the employees answered in a scattered manner, their voices low and listless.
"What? I didn't hear you, say it again?" Lin Yifan stretched out his ear to ask.
"We heard you clearly!" the employees answered again. This time their voices were more unified and spirited, but still not enough.
"Still didn't hear you clearly." Lin Yifan, holding back his anger, continued to ask.
"We heard you clearly!" This time, all employees let loose their voices, shouting loudly, their voices uniform and resonant.
"Heard clearly but still shouting so softly, if you're tired of it, then leave! I don't have money to feed a bunch of parasites like you!" Lin Yifan shouted angrily, venting his raging emotions all at once.
At that moment, a dissatisfied employee started to shout back, "If I don't want to work, then I won't work, you think I want to work under a boss like you!"
This dissatisfied employee was tall and burly, even more robust than Lin Yifan; he casually tossed his work badge down and then left his desk, turning around and walking away.
"Wait!" Lin Yifan crossed his arms in front of his chest and coldly called out.
"What? Want to beg me to come back? I'm telling you, even if you beg, I won't come back!" The tall and burly employee sneered in his heart, thinking Lin Yifan was nothing special after all.
However, he misunderstood Lin Yifan's intent; suddenly, it elicited a curse from Lin Yifan, "Beg for your ass, get as far away from here as you can."
"Then why did you call me?" the employee curiously inquired.
"If you're leaving, first clean up everything that belongs to you on the desk." Lin Yifan replied.
"I won't clean it; what can you do to me?" The tall and robust employee, thinking his size made him untouchable by Lin Yifan, continued to be defiant.
Although there had been a clear incident just before, but because that employee who watched the show was small in stature, Lin Yifan could easily have picked him up and taught him a lesson, so he was not afraid.
"Couldn't do anything to you, but I could merely shatter your hands and feet." Lin Yifan said calmly, his face as serene as water, seemingly having everything under control.
"Wow, quite the big talker, aren't you? Come on then, let's see what you got!" the robust employee taunted.
"Hmph!" Lin Yifan snorted coldly, his gaze chilling rapidly as he swiftly approached the robust employee, then threw a punch.
The tall and burly employee didn't move out of the way and also lifted his hefty fist, striking out.
The next moment, the two fists, one large and one small, collided.
The onlooking employees initially thought that Lin Yifan's smaller fist would be broken. Still, unexpectedly, the sound of breaking bones and screams came from the robust employee's side, much to their astonishment.
"Ah!!" The robust employee cried out in pain, his expression one of utter misery.
Watching this shocking scene, all the employees in the sales department shuddered, realizing the new boss was a ruthless man and incredibly powerful, apparently unmatched by anyone in the company.
Even the sales department manager, standing at the doorway of the office, was left stunned; he also hadn't anticipated that the newly appointed boss was such an extraordinary fighter.
At that moment, he involuntarily swallowed, feeling that the forthcoming workdays were fraught with danger.
