Chapter 259: Future CEO Candidate

“Bankruptcy?! No way… Where did you hear that?”

-The accounting team under the group’s finance department is preparing for liquidation, can that be false?”

“How is that possible? Isn’t President Shen the heiress of the Shen family? As long as she wants to, keeping the company is just a matter of words…”

“Who knows? What if she doesn’t want to?”

“How is that possible? She’s the President of Mingda!”

“You just said it yourself, she’s the heiress of the group. Does she really care about this small, failing company? If she wants to be a President, it doesn t have to be with Mingda. If it’s lost, it’s lost, just like throwing away garbage.”

“That’s not the point. I feel like President Shen cares about Mingda…”

“If Mingda really goes bankrupt, what are we going to do?

As soon as this was said, silence fell.

“What can we do? Find a new job as soon as possible! I knew Mingda would go down sooner or later. What’s the difference if we change the President? In the end, it’s all the same…” the woman spoke and walked away.

“Don’t shake the morale here. We haven’t even fought a battle yet, and you’re surrendering already?!”

“Enough,” Chen Mo suddenly spoke up, “Can’t you guys say one less word? The situation isn’t clear yet. Go back and work properly!

Suddenly, everyone dispersed.

In no time, the office became quiet again, but under this kind of silence, there was a bit more oppressive and dull atmosphere.

Everyone lowered their heads, their hands busy, seeming serious, but how many of them could truly concentrate without distraction?

Chen Mo saw this and felt a bit annoyed.

Why did this have to happen right when he had started to have expectations for this company?

Bankruptcy – could the company just disappear like that?

Then what about him and his colleagues? Where would they go from here?

“Ah Mu, what are you thinking about?” The male colleague at the next desk had a good relationship with him. Seeing the situation, he leaned over and asked in a low voice, “Why are you sighing?”

Chen Mo shook his head. “Nothing.”

“You don’t have to say it, I know. You’re worried about the company going bankrupt, right?”

The male colleague glanced around to make sure no one was listening before he lowered his voice, “If, I mean if, it really goes bankrupt, what are your plans?”

“…I don’t know.”

“Actually, with your abilities, even if you leave Mingda, you can still find a good advertising company. You definitely won’t end up struggling if you just put in your all. As for me, I can’t compete with you in terms of expertise, and my brain isn’t that sharp. If I leave here, I don’t know which company would want me… Oh well, being downcast isn’t my style. If I really lose my job and can’t find a new one, I’ll apply to be a security guard. At least I’ll make a few thousand bucks a month…”

Chen Mo’s lips twitched. “You’ve got quite an imagination.”

“Hehe… Back in elementary school, my teachers used to praise me for having a

rich imagination.”

After sitting for about ten minutes, Chen Mo threw his mouse aside and suddenly stood up.

His colleagues looked at him in surprise. “What are you doing?”

“…Going to the restroom.”

Uh!

Did going to the restroom require such determination? Why did it feel like he was witnessing a heroic last stand?

Chen Mo did go to the restroom, but after coming out, he didn’t immediately return to his seat. Instead, he turned in the direction of the president’s office…

Knock, knock, knock!

Hearing the knocking, Miao Miao and Choi Yun exchanged glances, trying to guess who was at the door.

But it was Shen Wan who spoke lightly, “Please come in.”

Chen Mo took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and walked past the coat rack. The first thing he saw was Miao Miao and Choi Yun huddled together as if discussing something. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’m sorry, it seems like I’ve come at an inappropriate time.”

But why did President Shen call him in again?

“Sit down.” Shen Wan raised her chin.

Chen Mo walked to a seat next to Miao Miao, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down.

“Do you have something on your mind?”

Chen Mo had prepared a speech, but now he didn’t know how to start.

Miao Miao raised an eyebrow, curious.

Choi Yun smiled knowingly as if she had already guessed his intentions.

However, Shen Wan remained composed, making it difficult for anyone to read her thoughts.

“President Shen,” Chen Mo bit the bullet, and whether he succeeded or failed, he had to say it, “I’ve heard from my colleagues that there are rumors about the company going bankrupt. Is it true?”

There was no hesitation or an attempt to hide the truth in Shen Wan’s response. She nodded openly, “Yes, it s true.

Chen Mo moved his lips but suddenly didn’t know what to say. His emotions clearly took a downturn.

Shen Wan raised an eyebrow. “Do you find it regrettable?”

“Yeah, a bit. I finally became the head of the production department, and now it’s all gone.” Perhaps it was the attitude of “nothing to lose” that prevailed, so Chen Mo spoke frankly. After all, he was on the verge of unemployment, and there was hardly anything worse than that.

“Why do you easily think it’s all gone?” Miao Miao chuckled lightly. “Don’t worry, we won’t treat you unfairly.”

“What do you mean?” Chen Mo’s eyes darted, sensing something peculiar.

Choi Yun smiled as she explained, “The group has already decided to go through the bankruptcy process. President Shen plans to acquire the company under the name of another corporation, but of course, this matter must be kept highly confidential. Currently, only the four of us know about it.”

Chen Mo was stunned!

Confidential…

In other words, Shen Wan intended to secretly take over Mingda under her personal name, keeping it a secret from the group, or, in other words, from her family!

Such actions, how should I put it…

It’s like stealing rice from your own family rice jar, not exactly honorable.

But it could also be understood. After all, in these wealthy families, these young masters and ladies were always prepared to compete for family assets. Given Shen Wan’s background in such a family, it was determined that she must undertake certain actions and vie for particular objectives.

It wasn’t about good or bad character; it was about the depth of cunning, influenced by the environment.

For example, a general born to be a warrior was destined to be judged by different standards than ordinary people when it came to taking lives on the battlefield.

Miao Miao said, “So, the future owner of Mingda will still be President Shen, but it will move from the surface to the underground. We’re currently discussing the candidates for the future CEO. Do you have any good suggestions?”

“CEO?” Chen Mo was surprised.

“Yes, after Mingda completes the acquisition, President Shen can’t stay in the company to oversee it like she does now. So, we definitely need to find a Chief Executive Officer to handle daily affairs. The question is whether to hire a professional manager or choose from our existing employees.” Choi Yun was the first to speak, “I’ve always been in charge of human resources, and I’m not good at running the company.” In other words, she wasn’t suitable for the role.

“I’m even less suitable,” Miao Miao shook her head, “I’m the president’s secretary, so wherever President Shen goes, I go. Therefore, it’s down to you,

Chen Mo.”

Choi Yun also nodded in agreement. “It’s either you or we hire someone from outside. You’ll have to figure it out for yourself.”

Chen Mo felt like he might not have woken up yet and was still in a dream. Otherwise, why were thunderbolts striking him one after another?

The key was that Shen Wan also nodded along and her questioning gaze fell on him.

Out of the 32 employees at Mingda, 5 were recently fired, leaving 27. Among them, the ones considered her trusted ones by Shen Wan were Choi Yun, Miao Miao, and now, Chen Mo.

It seemed that her two months of work here hadn’t been in vain..
