Chapter 84: Ban Them—Never Hire Them Again!

The man in black once again summoned the traitors for a secret meeting.

Hidden in the shadows, Angkor quietly took photos of their rendezvous, capturing every moment of their interaction.

Within two days, he had gathered enough evidence and handed it over to Lin Beifan.

"Mr. Lin, this is the evidence I collected from following them these past two days!"

"Look, it's highly suspicious that each of these individuals met with the same man in black at different times and locations. I believe they've been bought off by him. As for his exact identity, I haven't been able to uncover it. Mr. Lin, do you think this evidence is sufficient?"

Lin Beifan flipped through the photos, nodding in satisfaction.

"It's more than enough," he said. "I'm not planning to send them to jail—just looking for a justifiable reason to fire them. These photos provide exactly what I need!"

He then turned to Angkor with an approving look. "Brother Wu, you're quite capable! You gathered all this evidence in just two days. I knew you were a talent!"

"Mr. Lin, you're too kind! It was all thanks to your leadership. I simply did my part," Angkor responded modestly.

"Haha! No need for flattery—I didn't do anything. This is all your achievement!" Lin Beifan laughed. "But I like your humility. Keep it up, and your future will be bright!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Lin!" Angkor replied, but inwardly, he was thrilled.

This time, Lin Beifan surely trusted him, right?

His next words confirmed it.

"Once I get rid of these traitors, I'll reward you properly! For now, come with me to the meeting. Let's deal with these betrayers together and show them the price of their actions!"

Angkor was elated.

Meetings like these were usually reserved for high-level employees.

As a mere cleaner, he had never been qualified to attend—until now.

Lin Beifan called for an emergency company meeting.

Within ten minutes, everyone who was available gathered in the conference room.

As usual, Lin Beifan sat at the head of the table.

But this time, Angkor sat beside him, looking unusually dignified.

The employees exchanged curious glances.

Why was Angkor here?

Shouldn't he be in the cleaning room with Mama Liu?

But seeing Lin Beifan's grim expression, no one dared to ask questions.

Once everyone was present, Lin Beifan wasted no time.

"I've come to realize that some people are never satisfied," he said coldly. "I offer the highest salaries in the industry, the most generous bonuses, and the best benefits—yet some still betray me!"

His sharp gaze swept across the room.

"For mere scraps of money, these people have sold our company's trade secrets, severely harming our business!"

"Liu Fen, Huang Zhong, Zhou Shan…" He called out names one by one, then stood up.

"You all enjoy high salaries under my company, yet you choose to betray us? Doesn't your conscience bother you?"

The named individuals turned pale.

"Mr. Lin, I didn't—"

"I'm loyal to the company!"

"I would never betray you!"

Lin Beifan slammed a stack of photos onto the table.

"No betrayal? Then what's this?"

He pointed at the images.

"Each of you met with this man in black at different times and locations. And don't even try to say he's a friend—because if that were the case, why meet him in secret?"

"Explain yourselves!"

Their faces drained of color.

No words could save them now.

"You have nothing to say?" Lin Beifan scoffed. "Even a dog wags its tail when fed, yet you bite the hand that feeds you! I've never seen such ungrateful people. Pack your things and leave—I don't want to see you here ever again!"

"Mr. Lin, please! We were wrong!"

"Give us another chance!"

Panic set in as they begged for mercy.

But Lin Beifan's face remained cold.

"I gave you a chance—but who gave me one?"

"Get out!" he ordered. "I never want to see traitors in my company again! And one more thing—"

He turned to Liu Rumei, his assistant.

"Inform all major companies in Mohai City, on behalf of the Lin Group, that these individuals have been dismissed for betraying company interests."

"Make it clear that I urge every company never to hire them. Anyone who does will be going against the Lin Group."

"Understood, Mr. Lin," Liu Rumei said, jotting down notes.

The traitors turned desperate.

This wasn't just losing a job—this was career death.

With Lin Beifan's influence, no company in Mohai City would dare hire them.

Unless they started their own business, their only option was to leave town.

No matter what, their future looked bleak.

Lin Beifan had thoroughly crushed them.

The employees in the room sat in stunned silence.

This was the first time they had seen their boss truly angry.

And when he struck—he left no way out!

By banning them citywide, he had ruined their professional prospects.

Everyone secretly reminded themselves: Never betray this man!

"Alright, now that the garbage has been taken out, let's talk about something more pleasant!"

Lin Beifan suddenly smiled.

"Today, the reason I was able to uncover these traitors is all thanks to one person—Angkor, Brother Wu!"

The entire room was taken aback.

"Angkor?"

"Him?"

Everyone turned to Angkor in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Angkor sat proudly, his back straight.

Lin Beifan patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't let his young age and lack of formal education fool you. It was he who first noticed something suspicious and collected the crucial evidence that exposed the traitors. Thanks to his efforts, our company avoided major losses!"

"I always reward loyalty and hard work," Lin Beifan declared. "So, I've decided—Brother Wu will receive a one-million-yuan reward!"

The room erupted in gasps.

"One million?! Mr. Lin is really generous!"

"It seems Angkor has gained Mr. Lin's favor. He's about to rise!"

"I'm so jealous!"

Lin Beifan continued, "Additionally, Brother Wu's salary will be increased, and he will receive the benefits of a full-time employee!"

At this, the envy in the room skyrocketed.

"A million-dollar reward!"

"A salary increase!"

"I should have been the one to report the traitors!"

Lin Beifan clapped. "Let's give a round of applause for Brother Wu!"

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The room filled with the sound of applause.

Angkor had officially risen in status.
