Chapter 176 Decisive Action, Abundant Wealth
Having gone through so much and handled companies like Upstream Media, Qianhai Hotel, and Kemin Electronics, Lu Ran is no longer the kind-hearted person he used to be.
Another factor was the influence of Cheng Ning.
This made Lu Ran realize that to manage a company, you must make your subordinates fear you.
"Since it's our first meeting, I don't want to make things too awkward. So, how about this: are you two prepared to stay with the company long-term?"
Lu Ran looked at He Changyu: "Manager He."
He Changyu nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Chairman, I will definitely change, please believe me."
Lu Ran then looked at Yu Liyin: "President Yu, are you willing to continue as general manager and do a good job?"
Yu Liyin nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, Chairman. I will listen to you from now on. If I have any faults, I will correct them; if I don't, I will strive to do better."
If the former chairman had asked him this question, Yu Liyin would have considered it, because the company's capital was almost exhausted, and sooner or later he would have to find another way out.
But now a new boss has appeared out of nowhere, and he's acquiring the company with overwhelming financial power. Under these circumstances, anyone with a sound mind would have no choice but to submit.
He worked so hard to get to the position of general manager, and if he leaves the company, he will probably never be able to achieve what he has now again in his life.
Lu Ran nodded: "I think you two know better than I do what problems the company has. I'll give you some time to fix them."
"If you can't get rid of this bad habit of always thinking about one-off deals and cheating customers, then I don't mind starting with you to change the company's blood."
"You can also take a gamble, betting that I won't dare to touch old people like you, for fear that the company's core members will be removed, causing the company to be unable to operate in the short term and suffer losses."
Yu Liyin wiped the fine sweat from his forehead: "Chairman, you're joking. We certainly wouldn't dare to do anything reckless."
"Don't worry, Chairman. I will convene a meeting of the company's management team tomorrow, no, right now, and come up with a reform plan by today. I won't leave work until I have done it."
Lu Ran was very satisfied with Yu Liyin's attitude.
"Yes, if anyone disobeys during the process, they should be fired without any consideration for anyone's feelings, whether they are employees or management. I will not reduce the compensation by a single penny."
This decisive and powerful aura directly intimidated Yu Liyin and He Changyu, who dared not utter a single word of dissent.
"Manager He, please stay and entertain Chairman Lu. I'm going to a meeting."
"Yes, Mr. Yu."
After Yu Liyin left, He Changyu stood respectfully to the side.
Previously, her feelings towards Lu Ran were merely surprise at how capable a handsome young man was. Even though he was the chairman, she didn't feel much pressure from his superior position.
However, now...
He Changyu had completely suppressed her feelings of admiring the handsome young man, and she was even a little scared when Lu Ran glanced at her.
The former chairman threatened to fire her, but He Changyu didn't take it seriously at all, because she knew what that old man wanted to do and wouldn't really fire her. She also wouldn't abandon her principles for the sake of work.
But when the new chairman gave her the choice to stay or leave, He Changyu was genuinely scared.
Because this person genuinely wants to reorganize the company; they're even prepared to fire the general manager, let alone her.
Under this fear.
This gave her, who had always been strong-willed, a strange feeling.
She had thought that as a strong woman, she wouldn't like a domineering man like a little girl, but now it seems that's not the case.
He Changyu secretly glanced at the chairman and thought to herself, "If only he were ten years older."
"Manager He."
"Yes, I'm here. Chairman, please speak."
Lu Ran looked puzzled: "Are you hot? Your face is so red."
"Yes, it is a bit hot."
Bai Yongxiang, standing to the side, sighed with envy. Lu Ran was young and couldn't tell, but he, an old hand, could tell at a glance.
It hasn't been long, and the goddess he couldn't win over has already fallen for someone else.
Fortunately, this other person was his boss, which Bai Yongxiang could barely accept, because he knew Lu Ran's strength. Whether it was his appearance or his wealth, he was not someone that ordinary people could compare to.
"I won't have as much time to come to the company as I used to, so I need an assistant, preferably someone who can handle some of the company's daily affairs. Manager He, do you have anyone you can recommend?"
"President Lu, I think that new employee named Zhou Siyu is quite good."
Bai Yongxiang chimed in.
He Changyu nodded quickly: "That's right. Although they're young, they're quick-witted and more diligent in their work."
She just saw it; in the lobby, only the new employee was entertaining the chairman.
Now that the chairman has said this, anyone with eyes can see that he intends to promote this insightful newcomer.
However, Lu Ran didn't really mean that; he just wanted He Changyu to recommend a capable person to him.
However, upon closer reflection, it's likely that many of the company's long-term employees have picked up some bad habits, so it's better to use new employees before a thorough overhaul is completed.
He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Manager He to call her over. I'll see if she's suitable for this job."
"Yes, Chairman."
···
at this time.
Inside the lobby downstairs.
A group of people huddled together, chattering amongst themselves.
The person surrounded in the middle was Zhou Siyu.
"Siyu, you're rich now."
"Yeah, I should have gone up there earlier. That way I would have been the one running into the chairman."
"Siyu, if you get promoted, don't forget your older sister! I took good care of you when you first came here."
Zhou Siyu stood awkwardly in the middle.
I was speechless. I thought to myself, I've only been here a few days, how come you're taking care of me? I don't even think I know you!
"Alright, stop arguing. It's just pouring a cup of tea. Do you really think this is a TV drama? Promotion and raise? You're dreaming. Siyu is lucky to have passed her internship."
The one speaking was the female team leader who had previously advised Zhou Siyu not to meddle in other people's business. At this moment, she felt very uncomfortable. She was the one who invited the chairman in first, so how did she end up benefiting someone else?
"Haha, team leader, I think you're just envious of Siyu. I bet you'll be fired tomorrow, and Siyu will be the new team leader."
Zhou Siyu advised, "Don't say that."
The female team leader looked displeased: "Do you really think being a team leader is so easy?"
Then the female team leader looked at Zhou Siyu and said earnestly, "Siyu, don't listen to their nonsense. There aren't that many fake stories in reality. Even if you were entertaining the chairman just now, the chairman would only think it was what you should do. Don't think that the chairman will think more highly of you because of this little thing."
"Just go to work honestly and do what you're supposed to do!"
Zhou Siyu nodded: "I know."
"Manager He is here."
Someone shouted something, and the crowd scattered.
He Changyu said coldly, "If you're too idle, go to the HR department to resign. Don't let me see anyone being lazy and negligent in the company again."
After speaking, He Changyu smiled and looked at Zhou Siyu.
"Xiao Zhou, come with me, the chairman wants to see you."
