Page 424 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Madam, if you replied to President Gu’s message, would his mood improve a bit?"

"Oh my... Madam Gu, you really have made everyone suffer."

The more Secretary Zhou thought about it, the more he moaned and groaned.

"President Gu, I don’t understand what you mean by your words," he said.

Gu Mochen raised an eyebrow, his dark eyes flashing with a chilling sharpness as he spoke nonchalantly.

"I believe... we are all adults here. There’s no need for word games... the fee Bon Company offered for poaching last time was not small... They’ve made it clear they want you to take the whole admin department with you when you jump ship."

As he spoke, Gu Mochen’s thin lips curved into an almost imperceptible smirk, as he gazed at the pale-faced admin department director in front of him.

In the business world, deception is everywhere.

Everyone tends to think... if companies cooperate, their relations must be good.

It’s true that Carlo is set to take over Bon’s design project tomorrow... but Bon isn’t idle either. Pretending to cooperate, they are more interested in headhunting."

What they fail to understand is, if someone is truly loyal and devoted, they can’t be poached at all.

Those who can be tempted away are the restless souls.

Gu Mochen’s lips pressed together again as he looked at the speechless admin department director in front of him, his long fingers pointing toward the door.

"Please, help yourself out."

"President Gu... Please, give me another chance. Four years ago, you revived Carlo Group from death. Through all these years, I’ve been faithfully by your side... I’m the newcomer you trained."

The admin department director originally had a wait-and-see attitude, accepting the small favors from Bon Group, occasionally reporting some information when there was nothing important going on.

Little did he know that all his actions were under the watchful eyes of Gu Mochen, who was well aware of everything.

This man... wasn’t he in Yuncheng City?

Why couldn’t anything be hidden from him?

The admin department director was full of complaints. Although the perks offered by Bon Group were substantial...

Working diligently under Gu Mochen was the true path to a bright future.

Upon hearing the words, Gu Mochen’s lips curved into a sardonic smile, and he said offhandedly, "Secretary Zhou, handle this."

"Yes, President Gu..." Secretary Zhou immediately approached the admin department director, speaking in a strictly professional tone.

"You see... should I call security, or will you leave on your own... We’re all colleagues after all, and it would be unsightly for everyone if we had to tear into each other."

Admin department director: "..."

Gu Mochen narrowed his eyes; they were extremely deep, fathomless...

Yet they had the magical allure of the ocean depths, irresistibly drawing people in, making it impossible for them to want to escape.

"To those directors who remain... your annual bonus will be increased by ten percent... This meeting is dismissed."

Reward and punishment were clearly delineated... This was a principle Gu Mochen understood from the first day he took over Carlo.

Back then, the old aristocracy just didn’t get it... No matter how hard the common workers tried, they could only ever be workers, with fixed salaries.

As for the indolent ones who got in through connections, they kept getting promotions and raises.

A group like that was bound to collapse sooner or later.

...

As expected, once Gu Mochen had spoken, the managers who had been on the fence breathed a sigh of relief.

Working under President Gu... there was a clear road to promotions and raises.

"Thank you, President Gu..."

"President Gu is wise..."

"President Gu has such resolve."

The admin department director was completely ashen, looking utterly defeated. In the end, Secretary Zhou couldn’t stand it any longer and had to call security to drag him out.
