Dongfang Yu coughed lightly towards the two of them. Although the sound was not loud, it immediately silenced the entire hall.

"As the general manager of the company, it's my fault that my subordinate said such words. I apologize to everyone."

With that, Dongfang Yu bowed respectfully.

There was no point in trying to escape after something happened. It was only when one was brave enough to face it that one would truly look up to him, and an old cunning fox like Dongfang Yu was playing it out of lust.

Everyone sitting in the hall hurriedly stood up and started chattering.

"Aiya, the words of the general manager are too serious. This has nothing to do with you. Who can control what others say or think …"

"Everyone makes mistakes. As the saying goes, everyone loves a beauty. It's normal to boast in front of someone they like."

"That's right, and Dongfang You is just joking around, who hasn't made a joke in private, right?"

The whole hall burst into laughter. Whether it was dry laughter or fake laughter, in short, the laughter was the right one.

Dongfang Yu was truly an old cunning fox.

Putting aside his father-son status, just mentioning his subordinate relationship would be enough to remove him from the picture. After all, a subordinate's mistake, how could the leader be punished?

And he was the leader of most of the people present, so who would dare to say anything?

As such, this matter seemed to have passed by just like that.

"Dongfang You, everyone is responsible for their own actions. From today onwards, you will be suspended for one month, but after one month, you will have returned home to think about it, and after that, you will check if your thoughts have passed."

Whether or not he could pass the test was not up to him. To put it bluntly, he was just putting on an act.

Dongfang Yu waved his hand, "You don't need to attend today's ball, go back."

"General Manager, it's over. Today is the tenth anniversary, no matter what you say. As an old employee of the company, Dongfang You being chased out like this is unavoidable!"

"That's right, that's right. This is too inhumane."

"It's because of this that he can still remember and know what to say and what not to say. There's no need for anyone to persuade him anymore.

Dongfang Yu had no other choice. If he did not handle the matter, the shareholders would definitely be dissatisfied with him. He could offend anyone, but he did not dare to offend the shareholders.

Dongfang You looked wronged as he glared at Chu Hao. If it wasn't for this bastard, how could he have ended up like this!

Everyone sighed, their gaze turned towards Ding Yixiang. If not for such a thing, they really would not have known that there would be such a beauty sitting in front of them.

However, this beauty seemed to have thorns on her, giving off the impression of a disaster to a beautiful woman.

Ding Yixiang remained calm. As a reporter, she had never seen anything big before.

The farce ended with Dongfang You leaving. When Dongfang Yu spoke, everyone sat down, but Chu Hao still stood up abruptly.

Dongfang Yu's face sunk, but he still laughed: "This brother, could it be that there is something you need?"

"Why aren't you sitting down?"

Ceng Wen's expression did not change, he stood up and pressed down on Chu Hao's shoulder, wanting him to sit down, but Chu Hao did not move, "What more do you want?"

"Aren't we talking about the department manager?"

Chu Hao scratched his head with an innocent look. Dongfang You left alone, this was not the result he wanted at all.

Although Dongfang Yu was extremely dissatisfied, he still asked: "Brother, could it be that you have something else to say?"

Chu Hao proudly raised his head and patted his chest, "This position of sect manager is obviously mine, why should I give it to Ding Yixiang!"

Everyone was stunned. What did he mean? Could it be that he had misheard?

Everyone quickly asked each other.

Ding Yixiang's face was filled with disbelief, she at least knew Chu Hao well, at least she did not seem to care about this position, but now she was insisting on this matter, could it be that she had some sort of motive?

Dongfang Yu who was on stage had a face full of surprise, and confirmed once again: "You said this position is yours?"

Chu Hao nodded heavily.

The hall was in an uproar, the company had not even made a decision yet, where did Chu Hao get the courage to say that? This was no joke.

Ceng Wen frowned, "Chu Hao, are you drunk? Do you know what you are saying?"

"Of course!"

Dongfang Yu became interested, "Tell me, what makes you think this position is yours?"

Chu Hao immediately looked at Ma Yue, and arrogantly said: "My brother-in-law has promised me that as long as I come to this ball today, the position of the manager will most likely belong to me!"

"…"

Everyone looked at Ma Yue in disbelief, unable to believe that Ma Yue would say such words. After all, Ma Yue was the youngest department manager of the company, and was someone who only knew how to do things, how could he say such words so easily?

Ma Yue was confused, this was in front of all the leaders of the company, if he said those words, how would the leaders view him?

Ma Yue said anxiously: "When did I say that?"

Chu Hao laughed and patted Ma Yue's shoulder, "Brother-in-law, you really do forget things. Didn't you say these words in front of all your relatives during lunch today?"

Ma Yue promptly waved his hands and denied: "No, I've never said those words before."

"Look, I'm afraid you'll forget." While saying that, Chu Hao took out his phone and opened the folder. A recording was immediately played.

Ma Yue's voice came out clearly from the phone.

"Saying 100% is definitely a lie. However, if I were to suggest it, there's an 80% chance of it happening."

"You!"

Ma Yue's face immediately flushed red, he pointed at Chu Hao and was unable to say a word for a long time. He never thought that Chu Hao would actually prepare to set a trap for him when he was eating. He just said that!

Ding Yixiang looked at Chu Hao, as if she was right.

She felt that Chu Hao wasn't someone who would speak nonsense just like today. If it wasn't for the fact that she had something to discuss with Chu Hao, Chu Hao might not even accompany her out on this trip.

Ceng Wen slapped the table and stood up, and said angrily: "Ma Yue, how can you make such a principled mistake, you have truly disappointed me!"

Ma Yue's identity and Dongfang You's status could not be compared at all. Dongfang You could just casually put it aside, but was Ma Yue even qualified to do so?

He was indeed the department manager, but compared to the many Mogul present, he was just a small department manager!

Ma Yue said anxiously: "Father-in-law, listen to my explanation!"

Ceng Wen said: "Alright, then explain."

He really wanted to hear Ma Yue's explanation. If there was a reason behind it, then this matter would be resolved easily.

"Because... "Because …"

Ma Yue said for half a day and that was all he had to say. He had no way of explaining anything, could it be that he wanted to trap Chu Hao in front of everyone?

Even if he believed it, since he dared to trick his brother-in-law, how could the company allow him to do so? How would the company dare to stay behind with a poor character?

"Tell me!" Ceng Youqin shouted anxiously, but at this moment, she was extremely anxious.

In order to make Ma Yue the department manager, her family had put in a lot of effort and gifts, but Ma Yue had kept his mouth shut, wouldn't that mean that he had dug his own grave?
