"Too many senior executives have been suspended. What... what is the higher-ups thinking?"
"I heard it was Miss Chu Yu who made the decision; it's really too hasty. How could such a large corporation..."
As everyone knows, because of the factory scandal, several scapegoats will definitely be dismissed and investigated today.
But no one expected that Chu Yu would dare to suspend all twenty-odd executives involved in the incident.
These twenty-odd senior executives practically controlled half of the group's project operations.
If they are all suspended at the same time, the group could immediately descend into chaos.
Just when the middle and lower-level employees were leaderless and didn't know what to do, Chu Yu issued another instruction.
From now on, all middle-level managers of the headquarters group can go to Chu Yu's office for an interview.
Mid-level managers who perform well in the interview may be directly promoted to senior management and temporarily put in charge of all departmental affairs.
The moment this instruction was given, the entire group erupted in excitement.
At this moment, Song Yuan, who had not understood Chu Yu was trying to do, finally realized what was going on.
No wonder Chu Yu dared to suspend so many senior executives; it turns out she was planning to promote middle managers.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Chu Yu's handling of the processing plant's financial crisis was just a pretext. What she actually wanted to do was to purge Huang Yinian's cronies from within the group.
The processing plant scandal has already occurred, and the negative impact on the Chu Group can no longer be avoided.
No matter how hard Chu Yu tries to salvage the situation, the damage can never be undone, and her true purpose isn't even in this matter.
The main reason for the internal turmoil within the Chu Group is that Huang Yinian's cronies are growing in number and have been eyeing the Chu Family with hostility.
As long as Huang Yinian and his supporters remain, the Chu Family will never have peace.
Therefore, the best way to completely resolve the internal problems of the Chu Group is to purge Huang Yinian's cronies and install one of their own in power.
Ninety percent of the executives involved in this processing plant incident were accomplices of Huang Yinian.
Chu Yu's suspension from his duties was, in effect, a way of purging Huang Yinian's cronies.
As for those innocent executives who did nothing wrong, they will naturally be exonerated once the investigation is over, so the impact will not be significant.
This move, which cuts off their lifeline, will probably make Huang Yinian so angry he'll vomit blood.
Just as Chu Yu was making a big show of promoting middle-level managers in the group, Huang Yinian, who was comfortably waiting for good news in his villa, finally received a phone call.
However, what he received was not good news.
"Director Huang... Director Huang, everyone on our side has been suspended."
Huang Yinian had just been smiling slightly, froze instantly.
He gripped his teacup tightly, his eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"
"It means... literally, all the people involved in the processing plant incident have been suspended."
Huang Yinian's eyes were filled with disbelief. "How is this possible! She suspended more than twenty senior executives at once. Isn't she afraid that the group's operations will be thrown into chaos?!"
Huang Yinian was so confident back then, relying on this very point.
He believed that no matter how Chu Yu handled it, he couldn't possibly get rid of all his people at once. Otherwise, suspending so many high-ranking officials at the same time would easily cause chaos within the group.
As long as he still has people in the upper echelons, he can gradually reintegrate his own people into those positions.
But now, Chu Yu has actually brought down all his men?!
The executive on the other end of the phone said angrily, "After suspending us, Chu Yu immediately announced within the group that we would be promoted to middle management. By the time we returned from the investigation, there would be no place for us. Saying it was just a suspension is tantamount to firing us outright!"
Chapter 68
Huang Yinian's face had turned completely dark.
His fingers, gripping the teacup tightly, had turned white; he was clearly furious.
" President Huang, what should we do with the people who have been suspended?" The voice came from the other end of the phone again.
Huang Yinian's attention was drawn back.
He forcibly suppressed his anger, "Everyone go home and wait for news. I'm going to the company now."
After saying that, Huang Yinian hung up the phone immediately.
"Prepare the car, let's go to the Chu Group!"
At this time, Chu Yu was still in his office personally interviewing various self-recommended middle-level managers.
Chu Yu rubbed his forehead. "Let's go outside and wait for news."
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Chu." The middle manager who came for the interview immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Chu Yu, and then turned to leave the office, closing the door behind him.
Only Chu Yu and Song Yuan remained in the office.
Song Yuan came over with the interview list. "Miss, there's only one interview left."
Chu Yu rubbed his temples, looking slightly tired. "Okay, let him in."
Over the course of that afternoon, Chu Yu conducted interviews with more than thirty mid-level managers.
More than half of them are clearly incompetent; they're basically just there to make up the numbers.
The remaining half, while performing reasonably well, were not particularly outstanding, making it rather difficult for them to temporarily assume senior management positions.
Chu Yu picked up the folder containing the last interviewee's information and began to review it.
Song Yuan stepped forward and reminded her, "Miss, this interviewee is named Yang Dongqing. He was personally arranged to join the company by President Chu two years ago. However, since joining the company, his performance has been quite ordinary, and he doesn't seem to have shown much ability. Moreover, he seems to be very close to Huang Yinian's people."
A hint of curiosity appeared in Chu Yu's eyes.
Her father personally arranged for her to get close to Huang Yinian?
"Knock knock..." A knocking sound rang out on the door.
Chu Yu raised his gaze and said, "Go in."
Yang Dongqing straightened his tie, pushed open the door, and greeted everyone with a smile.
