Finally he got Yu Fei’s compromise last night, and he, therefore, keeps a good mood until today. It’s rare for him to show a smile in the company, which amazes not only general staff, but Lin Miaoxin as well. Since the loss of the case, Gu’s company has been in a depressing atmosphere, especially after it came out that there was a mole in the company, and manager Yang was dismissed, which made people panic.

"Inform the department managers come to the conference room in half an hour." Gu instructs his secretary before entering the office. Without any delay, the secretary immediately posts the message on the intranet. All departments are surprised to see that and they don't know what Mr. Gu means this time.

Half an hour later, Gu Yi sits in the office and looks at the managers with different expressions. He also called Zhang Le and Wang Hui alone. Both of them are subordinate to the planning department which is in trouble recently. Therefore, everyone immediately understands the purpose of the meeting. Knocking on the desk, Gu Yi shifts his sight between Wang Le and Wang Hui.

Wang Hui looks a little flustered with his head down while Zhang Le looks calmer, with no expression and a pair of empty eyes that make people wonder what he is thinking about. "It's no big deal to call you here today. I think you all know about Yang Ke's dismissal. Anyway, the position of the director of the planning department can't be vacant all the time. Wang Hui and Zhang Le are excellent talents of the planning department and I want to choose one of them for this position. So, what do you think?"

As soon as Gu Yi finishes, Wang Hui raises his head in shock, and his face is full of surprise. While Zhang Le remain the same as before, as if what Gu Yi said had nothing to do with him. Most of the department managers joined in the company with Wang Hui. Therefore, they are more familiar with him, and less familiar with Zhang Le.

"In terms of seniority and experience, I think Wang Hui may be more qualified for this position." A manager who has a good relationship with Wang Hui takes the lead in speaking, which immediately attracts the majority of the people. Gu Yi doesn't comment but asks the rest what they think about. They only say that they don't have much contact with the planning department, which amounts to abstention.

The smile on Wang Hui's face expands a little bit, and it is easy to know what he is thinking of. After listening to the words, Gu Yi just nods and doesn't say anything for a long while. It is hard to distinguish his mood from his expression. Lin Miaoxin has been sitting by without speaking. Gu Yi suddenly turns to her and asks for her advice. Lin Miaoxin glances at the two men at the end of the desk, and she sees the totally different reactions on their faces. She lowers eyes, and answers with no ups and downs in her voice: "I still think the same as before.

Gu Yi nods without saying. There is a silence in the conference room. Gu Yi suddenly points to Zhang Le, whose mind has been wandering beyond the conference. "Zhang Le, what do you think?" Wang Hui doesn't expect Gu Yi to ask Zhang Le's opinion first, and his expression is obviously stiff for a while. Although he comes back to himself soon, it is still caught by Gu Yi. Zhang Le is still expressionless and his voice is as cold as his personality, "I don't have any ideas, just listen to your arrangement."

It takes several seconds for Gu Yi to turn around to ask Wang Hui. The attitude of Wang Hui is quite different from that of Zhang Le. He has a smile on his face, which is not honest. He rubs his hands and says, "if you are willing to give me this opportunity, I will take it and make better achievements for Gu’s company. Of course, if you give this opportunity to a young man, it it fine for me and I will continue to do my job."

The meeting room falls into silence again after Wang Hui finishes his words and all eyes turn to Gu Yi, waiting for his answer. Turning the pen in his hand, Gu Yi stares at the two men with a serious expression. "Zhang Le takes Yang Ke's position as the manager of the planning department. As for Wang Hui, you are fired. Pack up and go home." As soon as Gu Yi finishes, everyone in the conference room is stunned, especially Wang Hui. He gawks at Gu Yi, and after several seconds, he returns to his mind. He stands up unconvinced and asks, "why do you fire me?

“For your divulging the company secrets." Gu Yi looks at Wang Hui with a sneer. Wang Hui shouts, "I didn't disclose the company's secrets. You wronged a good man. I didn't!" Gu Yi rubs his temple impatiently. Seeing the situation, Lin Miaoxin immediately calls the security guards in and they take the Wang Hui away, who is swearing. Then silence falls again the conference room .

The rest don't seem to be able to respond and they all look at one another. Wang Hui suddenly changes from a candidate for manager to the mole. This transformation is too fast. Gu Yi stands up and nods to Zhang Le, "I believe your ability and look forward to your further achievements." Zhang Le's reaction is still calm. Even if Gu Yi suddenly asks him to hold the post of manager, he still seems quite quiet.

After the meeting, Lin Miaoxin follows Gu Yi back to the office. The moment Gu Yi sits down, he sees Lin Miaoxin, who is about to speak, and smiles clearly, "do you want to ask me how I got to know that Wang Hui is the mole?" Lin Miaoxin nods, "I said before that Wang Hui relied on his qualifications, but according to my knowledge of him, he should not have done anything to betray the company. He witnessed the company develop step by step." Gu Yi snorts scornfully, and his sight is cold.

"What about high qualifications? Didn't he lose himself in front of money?" Gu Yi pulls out a document and throws it to Lin Miaoxin. "This is Wang Hui's income in this month. Have a look." She picks up the document, sees the number clearly and then opens her mouth in surprise. Only in this month, Wang Hui received several seven-figure payments. This astronomical number is impossible for him to get in terms of his current work ability.

"Is it really him?" Lin Miaoxin can't believe it. "I couldn't believe it at first, but in face of the fact, I has to admit that people would change." Gu Yi asks Lin Miaoxin to turn to the next page. "Wang Hui was addicted to gambling two years ago and he lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in gambling. His wife persuaded him several times, but it didn't work. At last, she divorced him and remarried with her son. Since then, Wang Hui gambled more fiercely and owed a lot of debts." Lin Miaoxin doesn't expect that her colleagues, who always get along harmoniously in daily life, are like that privately. She is speechless.
