For the Good of the Company!
Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.
Madam Su had already decided that she would make her daughter, Su Qingying, lose face. She was also glad that this was just a routine senior management meeting, not a group meeting, Board of Directors, or Shareholders' Meeting.
The negative impact of the conflict between mother and daughter varies depending on the situation. It is necessary to minimize the impact and nip the daughter's rebellion in the bud.
Zhou Da Yang Kuo did nothing wrong, Su Qingying said they did nothing wrong, so why are you still firing them?
Madam Su slammed her hand on the table and stood up again.
However, whether or not they are dismissed does not necessarily have a direct relationship with whether they have made a mistake.
Su Qingying laughed again, "What kind of logic is this? How can you act so recklessly?"
Madam Su immediately retorted that he wasn't just opposing Su Qingying himself, but also inciting the emotions of all the senior executives present. She explained that Su Qingying wanted to fire two middle managers, a decision that didn't require Board of Directors and certainly wouldn't escalate to the Shareholders' Meeting. Did he really have the right to fire them directly?
With Su Ruiwen absent, he can fire people without anyone's permission.
Madam Su was afraid that he would act unilaterally, so he needed the senior executives present to put pressure on Su Qingying.
He knew that no matter what his daughter was like, she might have been instigated by Li Ruobin, which was why she suddenly turned against him today.
However, he could not possibly commit such a serious offense, as it would be extremely detrimental to his future leadership of the company, causing people to lose faith in him and question his abilities.
As expected, all the senior executives in the conference room turned to look at Su Qingying after Madam Su spoke, their expressions clearly showing their displeasure.
Madam Su wasn't being unreasonable; Madam Su was right. It was Su Qingying's words that were problematic.
Suppressing her inner unease and tension, Su Qingying looked at Madam Su expressionlessly and continued, "Five days ago, on the morning of July 7, a major robbery occurred at our Jinfu Group's branch in the East Sea. Although the case was solved on the same day, the negative impact continues to escalate."
East Sea, that's where our Jinfu Group headquarters is located.
As Su Qingying spoke, she glanced at the executives present.
There are a total of 5 stores, among which the store located on the commercial street is not only the largest in the East Sea, but also the largest in the country.
The stores in the commercial street had the best and highest security levels, both in terms of decoration and surveillance facilities, yet this was the store that was robbed.
Diamond jewelry worth over 20 million was stolen on the spot by robbers.
Although everything has been recovered, external parties have raised questions about the internal workings of our Jinfu Group, questioning our security capabilities. Even our partners have sent us numerous inquiries in recent days.
The incident itself wasn't our fault, but the inadequate security measures that prevented us from providing a safe and reliable shopping environment for our customers are our responsibility.
Why was only our Jinfu Jewelry robbed, while other jewelry stores weren't?
Is our security level insufficient?
Is it possible that our security plan itself had problems, which is why we were being targeted?
We know that's not the case; it's a highly random and unexpected event. But the public won't have that kind of understanding. Once the public raises those questions about us, won't some customers stop coming to us to buy jewelry because of their own safety?
Even if the case is closed out in a low-probability event, no one is willing to take the risk.
Our competitors have been manipulating public opinion since the incident, constantly creating topics to attack us, saying that we have security problems and that our stores are unsafe, which is why we are being targeted.
We always have to take action.
The public is sensitive, and so are stock market investors; the stock prices these days have already spoken for themselves.
Our stock price hit the daily limit down on July 8th, and again on July 9th. In just two days, our group's market value evaporated by nearly 8 billion.
Although a rebound began on the 10th, and by the opening of trading this morning, more than half of the evaporated market value had been recovered, the impact has not yet been eliminated.
In the conference room, dozens of people were listening to Su Qingying speak. They all understood what Su Qingying was going to say, and Madam Su's expression changed repeatedly.
I never expected my daughter, Su Qingying, to start with a major robbery. Now she understands that as long as the security issue is firmly established, someone in the Security Department will definitely be held responsible. My father had reminded me of this before I boarded the plane.
Su Qingying gazed at her mother again. She said that he had entrusted me with the entire responsibility for handling the follow-up matters and dealing with related issues after the case was closed, and that I must handle it well and do it beautifully.
Therefore, Zhou Da, the head of the Security Department, must be dismissed.
Su Qingying glanced around again. Whether he was responsible or not was unimportant. What mattered was calming public opinion, making a statement, and letting the outside world understand Jinfu Group's determination to reform security issues, so as to bring Gu Shi back as soon as possible.
Zhou Da might be unhappy, that's fine, I'll talk to him. If he wants to leave gracefully, I'll let him resign, and I'll give him some extra compensation in private.
But no matter what, people have to leave.
After Su Qingying finished speaking, everyone understood, including Su Qing herself, that the responsibility did not lie with Zhou Da. It was a random and unexpected event, and the bank's security was much stronger; it wasn't like they hadn't been robbed before.
Zhou Da is the overall head of security, and his job cannot be so specific as to personally arrange even the security of the stores.
From the perspective of a company operator, Su Qing's arrangements were perfectly fine; on the contrary, they demonstrated great courage in calming public opinion and making a statement.
Then we'll have to drag Zhou Da, the head of the Security Department, out as a sacrifice.
Ultimately, it's all for the company's benefit.
Su Qingying was finding a reason for something important, a reason that no one could refute.
"Mom, "Su Qingying looked at her mother again, "Do you think my reasons are sufficient?"
I think that's sufficient.
I believe that not only those of you here today can understand me, but also those on the Board of Directors and at the Shareholders' Meeting can understand and support me.
I am acting in the best interests of the company and the shareholders.
Madam Su's face darkened, and she couldn't utter a single word.
A few seconds later, "Okay, Zhou Da, you turn it on."
What about Yang Kuo?
Madam Su stared at Su Qingying again and asked.
You want to drag people down with the responsibility?
Zhou Da is enough.
What did Yang Kuo do wrong that he should be made the scapegoat for the company?
Unnecessary.
Su Qingying said.
Then what reason do you have for him not to work for the company?
Um?
Madam Su was stunned for a moment, as were all the executives present. This was a fact they had all subconsciously overlooked, because they were used to it and no one would care about such trivial matters.
When did Yang Kuo work for the company?
Has this happened in recent years?
He works in security, not just in name only. He has always worked for the Su Family and is your personal bodyguard, Mom.
Su Qing looked at Madam Su and said repeatedly that his job would not change, but he had to become famous in Jinfu Group.
Although our Su Family were the founders and operators of Jinfu Group, it is now a listed company, belonging not to a few individuals but to all shareholders. Would it be a problem if I fired it?
Madam Su gazed silently at her daughter.
No problem, there's absolutely no problem with that.
Madam Su understood that it didn't matter who was fired or not, or what the reasons were; her daughter was determined to rebel against her today, and she was looking for a reason to rebel.
Call Board of Directors! Notify everyone immediately to convene Board of Directors.
After Madam Su finished speaking, she walked directly out of the meeting room.
She'd had enough; Board of Directors meeting was necessary.
Madam Su wanted her daughter, Su Qingying, to understand that even if what she said was reasonable and well-founded, even if it was just a trivial matter not worth discussing at the Board of Directors, no one at the Board of Directors would support her. If she herself disagreed, no one would support her.
Ultimately, the Board of Directors of Board of Directors is controlled by her husband, Su Ruiwen, and she can now represent him. She wants her daughter to understand completely who truly calls the shots in the current Jinfu Group.
After Madam Su left the meeting room, Su Qingying then announced the meeting was adjourned.
He chose to postpone the decision to dismiss Zhou Da and Yang Kuo.
Although he has the right to fire people directly, he could do so now, but his purpose in making trouble is to find a reason to convene Board of Directors, so even if this matter doesn't need to be discussed at the Board of Directors, he will still bring it up.
In the meeting room, everyone else got up one after another and walked out. They didn't say much, but they exchanged glances with each other in twos and threes.
It wasn't until they stepped outside that the first commotion arose outside. Does anyone know what happened?
Miss Su and Madam Su, Su Jingying was still tidying up the things on her desk.
He handed the poem to his assistant secretary, who then said, "You can go now."
He asked everyone else to leave, but he stayed in the meeting room.
Soon, everyone in the conference room left, leaving only Su Qingying and one other person.
Su Jing couldn't help but recall what Wu Chen had told her before going to bed the day before, "If you don't leave after the meeting, Tang Deyang might stay. He definitely has something he wants to say to you."
The person who stayed behind was Tang Deyang.
Wu Chen had also told Su Qingying that in the Board of Directors of Jinfu Group, although most of the time no one dared to disobey Su Ruiwen, upon closer inspection, some people were henchmen of others, and some were opportunists.
There are also people who will support Su Qingying as long as she makes a statement.
Second Uncle Su Qing turned to look at Tang Deyang, who was sitting in the chair like a Maitreya Buddha, and asked, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Qingying!
Tang Deyang smiled kindly, giving off a benevolent feeling.
Actually, he's not that old. He had a fiery temper when he was young, but due to years of illness and declining health, his temper has become more peaceful.
Sigh, you've really grown up.
Tang Deyang sighed as he spoke.
My second uncle thinks I did something wrong today?
Su Qingying asked.
It's both right and wrong.
Tang Deyang nodded, then shook his head.
My sister-in-law is too controlling. She's a good woman, and my brother is lucky to have married her.
But so many years have passed, and you've grown up.
Tang Deyang didn't continue.
In fact, he has had grievances against Madam Su for many years, which is related to Madam Su's ousting of several company veterans and Madam Su consistent style of conduct.
Although Tang Deyang understood that his sister-in-law hadn't done anything wrong, matters of brotherly affection are rarely a simple matter of right or wrong.
Of course, despite his resentment, Tang Deyang never objected to Madam Su, because he was always on Su Ruiwen's side.
Actually, you today...
Tang Deyang pondered for a moment, then looked at Su Qingying and smiled.
Uh, that's right. It's not certain whether my brother or I will go first. There aren't many years left. You will definitely be the head of Jinfo in the future. You should have your own opinions and be independent, instead of blindly listening to anyone.
My biggest fear is that when you're in your thirties or forties, your sister-in-law will still be controlling you like this. How will you possibly run a company well then?
There were some things Tang Deyang knew perfectly well. He observed from the sidelines and understood them clearly, but he couldn't say anything, not even to Su Ruiwen.
However, you chose the wrong time.
Tang's Yang Xue said it was too sudden. There was no preparation for cleaning it, and you were also unprepared. You just went against it blindly. You failed this time, and it will be difficult in the future.
Su Qingying remained silent. Wu Chen had told her that there were some things that didn't need to be revealed to Tang Deyang in advance, as doing so might cause problems. Tang Deyang might even tip off his father, Su Ruiwen. It wasn't out of malice, but given the gravity of the situation, Tang Deyang would definitely tell his older brother.
Alright, you've already done it, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, and everything has gone too smoothly for you. It's good to experience some setbacks; it won't be a bad thing for you.
Tang Deyang smiled and comforted Su Qingying, who seemed lost in thought, before placing his hands on the chair and saying he wanted to stand up.
He was too fat; without supporting himself with his hands, he couldn't stand up all at once.
Su Qingying quickly got up and went to help Tang Deyang.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the corridor outside the meeting room, Madam Su was making a phone call by the window.
No need, no need. Just tell him I'll handle it. You can focus on your meeting in the capital.
This girl was instigated by Ruobing. Once I suppress her at the Board of Directors, she'll behave herself.
Honey, take care of yourself. Did you take your medicine?
After finishing the call in a gentle tone, Madam Su's face darkened, and she looked out the window of the building with a cold expression.
She has already told her husband, Su Ruiwen, about what happened today.
Su Ruiwen wanted to call his daughter directly, but Madam Su wouldn't allow it.
This happened while her husband was away; it's because he didn't discipline his daughter properly. He should personally beat her awake.
In the President's Office at Illusion Fashion, Wu Chen was still having private conversations with Lin Yuan.
Um, I have a question: why did you contact me?
It's strange that you didn't try to find Magic City, which would have been more convenient. I only joined your group today, and you're already contacting me?
I've tried hiring new shoe technicians before, but Xingxing has already driven away several of them. The ones I found for him were all local celebrities, they were all in the same circle, specializing in fine shoes, and word spread quickly. Now, when I try to find better ones, no one is willing to come.
But don't worry, Teacher Xingchen, I've hardened my heart this time. If Xin Xin dares to cause trouble for you when you come, you can hit him or scold him as you please. Let's see if he dares to talk to me again this time.
Teacher Xingchen, can you come?
Don't worry about living arrangements, I'll rent you a place and take care of everything!
If it's a price issue, I can add a little more. How about I add 1000 per lesson?
One class period costs 3000.
She was extremely anxious because her daughter was her life.
Wu Chen paused for a moment and replied, "I'll think about it. I might go to Magic City in a while, so you don't have to wait for me. It's not certain. You still need to find a teacher for your child."
Okay, okay, it's settled then. You must come to Magic City to see my child, he's really talented!
Teacher Xingchen, I'd like to add you as a friend. Please accept my request. That concludes our chat.
Wu Chen exited the chat interface, checked the friend requests again, and saw that he had added Lin Yuan as a friend. Wu Chen put away his phone and stood up.
Are you really an intelligence broker?
Li Ruobing's cold, eerie voice suddenly rang out.
She had already read Wu Chen's words, but seeing that Wu Chen seemed to be chatting with someone on his phone, she didn't ask him too proactively.
He didn't want to reveal himself to Wu Chen, and was shocked by his words.
But now that he saw Wu Chen was about to leave, he finally spoke up.
When did you ever truly believe I was an intelligence broker?
Wu Chen looked at Li Ruobing, smiled, and asked in return.
This really stumped Li Ruobing.
Indeed, no matter what Li Ruobin said, he always harbored a suspicion about Wu Chen deep down.
This person suddenly appeared, seemingly knowing everything and understanding everything. As long as Li Ruobing is of sound mind, she can't completely trust Wu Chen. Of course, she is certain that Wu Chen won't hurt her.
Okay, I have something to do, let's talk later.
Wu Chen smiled again, straightened his evil attire, and walked directly out of the office.
Li Ruobing's gaze followed Wu Chen until Wu Chen disappeared outside the door.
After going downstairs and getting into the car, Wu Cheng started the Lamborghini and took out his phone again, quickly dialed a number, and held it to his ear.
Sorry, this was a taxi from Ningbo.
The other party didn't answer and hung up immediately.
Wu Chen attacked again, but the opponent still didn't answer. He attacked a third time, and finally the opponent responded.
Who are you looking for?
A wary male voice.
Is it meaningful to meet you in person?
If either Ding Ruilong or Li Ruotai found out about this, how would you die?
As Wu Chen drove the car away, he smiled easily.
Stop talking nonsense! Who do you think you are?
I don't know the person you're talking about.
The other party's tone suddenly became agitated, and they vehemently denied it.
This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
