"Otherwise what? I'm the one who provides it, so of course I know it best and where your problems lie."
The man struggled in his eyes, and it took him almost a minute to finally make up his mind and say something with a stern face.
"I'm sorry, Vice Chairman Shen, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have spoken so rudely to you! I really didn't expect a woman... I didn't expect you to know these things."
Shen Wancheng said coldly, "I do not accept your apology."
This man still justifies his rude remarks by saying that women couldn't possibly understand these things, as if he's stating common sense and that this excuse will make him understandable.
Shen Wancheng neither understood nor wanted to understand the idea that women shouldn't be knowledgeable and incapable of scientific research.
Although Shen Wancheng admitted that she knew these things because of her "golden finger" (a special ability to gain knowledge), there has never been a lack of women among researchers in any field throughout history.
Those who judge others solely by their gender should be forever despised and ostracized.
Shen Wancheng ignored the man and looked at Zhang Qidong instead.
"Fire this person. No one in our company's research department is indispensable. I can grab any college student and have them fill the position if I want."
Zhang Qidong only learned today that Shen Wancheng was the one who provided the basic theory.
He was still in shock.
When Shen Wancheng spoke to him, all he could do was nod.
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
Zhang Qidong turned to look at Zhang, the head of the technical department, and pointed at the rude man, asking, "What's his name?"
Engineer Zhang glanced at the man, sighed, and said, "Wang Hao."
Zhang Qidong nodded, and then spoke to the man named Wang Hao.
"Wang Hao, you're fired. Leave now. Remember the confidentiality agreement you signed when you joined the company. If even a single word of anything you know about Eastern Mobile is leaked, you'll face a compensation claim of one billion Hong Kong dollars."
Zhang Qidong's first and foremost emphasis was on the issue of confidentiality.
Wang Hao's expression shifted from shock at hearing that Shen Wancheng was going to fire him to anger at Zhang Qidong for notifying him without a moment's hesitation, all in an instant.
"What right do you have to fire me just like that? I was hired by Chairman Gu at great expense."
"Stop right there! Don't move."
Shen Wancheng didn't want to get involved in pointless disputes. Wang Hao was such an insignificant person; if he disgusted her, she could just kick him aside. There was no need to argue with him verbally; it would only lower her own standing.
But Shen Wancheng didn't expect that this seemingly respectable scholar would actually try to take action in a fit of anger.
Seeing that Shen Wancheng wanted to leave like this, Wang Hao immediately rushed over to stop her.
As a result, Shen Wancheng didn't even get a hair on his head before Kela grabbed his wrist, twisted it, turned him over, and kicked him in the butt, causing him to fall face-first to the ground.
Shen Wancheng looked at Wang Hao on the ground and said.
"Why should you be fired? Because you're insignificant and arrogant. Others might be arrogant because of their talent, but you're not even qualified to be called talented yet, and you're already arrogant. Also, because the woman you look down on can easily solve a dozen problems that someone like you might never be able to solve in a lifetime."
"Ha, is that enough?"
Hearing the disdain in Shen Wancheng's tone, Wang Hao felt as if someone was stabbing his heart with a knife.
Unfortunately, Shen Wancheng had just solved the problem that had been troubling them for a week, leaving Wang Hao speechless and unable to refute her.
He just lay on the ground yelling, "Ouch, you're hitting me! You can't fire me!"
Shen Wancheng never wanted to see this person again, she told Zhang Qidong.
"You handle the rest."
Then he said to Zhang, the head of the technical department, "I will come over once a week from now on to check the project progress and conduct random checks. If anyone is still slacking off, they should leave as soon as possible. If there are any problems affecting the progress like today, call me directly, don't drag it out."
It's already mid-December, and Shen Wancheng still wants to get the project to the point of building the signal tower before the end of the year.
Hong Kong Island is actually not very big, so it won't need many signal towers. Once construction begins, it should be completed within a month.
Because the R&D progress on the mobile phone side is a bit faster than here, it should already be in mass production by the time of the Chinese New Year.
Shen Wancheng is waiting for the mobile phone to go public and make money.
She's still short of money. She missed out on Wharf Holdings, but she doesn't want to miss out on Whampoa. The stock market in this world is progressing a little slower than in her previous world, but not by much. She still needs to make plans early.
Shen Wancheng called Gu Jinxing's office from the company, only to be told by another of his president's assistants that Gu Jinxing had already left the company.
Shen Wancheng guessed that she had come to the new company, so she stayed in the company office for a while.
About ten minutes later, Gu Jinxing arrived.
China Eastern Mobile is still a small company, so of course it's impossible for the entire building to belong to China Eastern Mobile.
In fact, Gu Jinxing rented two floors as the company's office area, which already shows he is very wealthy.
The company's management offices were all on the upper floors, but when Gu Jinxing went up to find Shen Wancheng, he also took a look at the first-floor office area.
As luck would have it, Wang Hao was still causing trouble there.
"Zhang Qidong, I don't care. I'm not leaving until Chairman Gu gives the order."
"Neither you nor that woman have the right to fire me. Since when did a vice chairman have the right to meddle in company affairs?"
Gu Jinxing asked the receptionist who was leading him around, "What's going on?"
The receptionist, of course, was unaware of the details and only recounted the events that followed when Wang Hao caused a scene.
"It seems that General Manager Zhang dismissed Wang Hao as requested by Vice Chairman Shen. Wang Hao is refusing to leave, saying that he was personally recruited by you and no one else has the right to dismiss him."
The receptionist thought for a moment and then added, "Wang Hao is a researcher in the Technology Research Department."
As soon as the receptionist finished speaking, Wang Hao saw Gu Jinxing standing in the corridor and rushed over as if he had seen a savior.
"Chairman Gu, you've finally arrived. General Manager Zhang and that female vice director want to fire me."
"You promised me back then that you would definitely have made a significant contribution to the groundbreaking achievement of building the mobile network on Hong Kong Island."
Gu Jinxing looked at Wang Hao coldly and repeated his words, asking, "I promise you?"
Wang Hao swallowed hard and nervously changed his mind.
"What I mean is, you invited me to join the company to participate in the construction of the Hong Kong Island mobile network, but now someone else is interfering and wants to fire you. Isn't that a slap in your face?"
Normally, if Gu Jinxing encountered such a situation, he wouldn't say a word to Wang Hao and would simply let Cheng Ming handle it.
However, since it concerned Shen Wancheng, Gu Jinxing couldn't help but speak harshly.
"I invited you because I thought you were a talented person. Now that Chairman Shen says he wants to fire you, it only proves that I misjudged you. Please find another job."
Wang Hao was dumbfounded.
What does Chairman Gu mean by that?
How could Chairman Gu speak like that?
He immediately admitted that it was his fault and that he had misjudged the situation.
Shouldn't Chairman Gu be very angry and, for the sake of Wang Hao, or rather, for the sake of Chairman Gu's own reputation, directly confront that female vice director?
