Chen Xiao was in his office, having just finished a phone call with Zhang Shijie!

The two communicate about the progress of "Star Palace" every few days!
Following the acquisition of Huijin Plaza in Shanghai, Chen Xiao has already secured three of the four stores initially planned for "Xingque"!
The pressure is now on Zhang Shijie!
This boss is insane! I can't even design products myself to keep up with the speed at which he buys up these globally renowned shopping districts!

Of course, after the acquisition of Shanghai Huijin Plaza, adjusting its location was not something that could be done overnight; it also required extensive negotiations with existing brands!
Buzz~!

[Guo Fu: Zhao Xiangjun is really beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful woman before!]

Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow. What did Guo Fu mean by this? It couldn't just be a simple compliment to my Xiangjun, could it?

Chen Xiao: Thank you!

After tidying up, I hurried downstairs, where Xiangjun and Xu Jia had already arrived at the private room!
He hosted a banquet for Xu Jia and his wife today to thank Xu Jia for her constant companionship with Xiang Jun!

I ran into Zhang Jie as I entered the hotel lobby!
Zhang Jie is an honest and unassuming person who rarely goes to restaurants. He was a little nervous when he arrived at this 6-star hotel, but luckily he ran into Chen Xiao at the entrance!

"How's it going? Busy at the company?"

"busy!"

Ok?
This was beyond Chen Xiao's expectations. The branch company, Robotics Technology Group, was now well-funded, and each department was fully staffed. How busy could it be?

But Zhang Jie is an honest guy; he won't say "busy" unless he's extremely busy!

"Are there any urgent projects that require you to hurry?"

"No!"

"Then what are you busy with? There's not that much work at the company!"

"I've finished my own work, why should I help them?"

Chen Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks. "Who are they?"

"Our project team leader and several colleagues!"

His face suddenly turned murderous; was he being bullied in the workplace?
I, Chen Xiao, introduced people from the past, and they dare to treat them like this? They've really had too many good days!

"I'm coming to the company tomorrow, and I want to see just how big a face your project manager has!"

"No, Chen Xiao, he's Vice President Chang's man. Just bear with it, it'll pass. Besides, with such high salaries these days, it's okay to do a little more work!"

Chen Xiao sighed. Xu Jia isn't like that!
It's because Xu Jia is too domineering that Zhang Jie is always the one who gets bullied at home, so he doesn't dare to complain when he's outside!

Does Xu Jia know about these things?

"I don't know, I didn't dare tell her, otherwise she would have called me a coward!"

I shook my head, not knowing what to say. Was that an insult? No, it was a sign of a keen eye for people!

He led Zhang Jie into the private room. It was the first time he had met Zhao Xiangjun, and he was so nervous that his voice trembled!

Fortunately, he didn't know Zhao Xiangjun's true identity, otherwise he would have been scared to death!
When Chen Xiao hosts a banquet, the meals are all top-of-the-line. A meal for four people would cost more than 300,000 yuan!
At the table, Chen Xiao and Xu Jia were mainly chatting, with Zhao Xiangjun occasionally chiming in, while Zhang Jie just ate and occasionally stole a few glances at Chen Xiao!
He held this top salesperson in the highest esteem!
"Xu Jia, how were your Q1 results?"

"Both revenue and profits have increased!"

This is just one of Junxiao Commercial Management's systems; its Q1 revenue was 1.2 million yuan, with a profit of 4000 million yuan!

This profit margin is alarming. The main reason is that Junxiao Commercial Management offered Yinuo Group very low transaction terms, while the usual consumer subsidy vouchers were high, which boosted sales and resulted in a very low rental ratio!
This resulted in a significant increase in profit margins!

The entire Inno Group performed well in Q1. With the support of the "Samo" and "Inno" brands this year, it has achieved a double harvest in performance and profit!

It looks like there will be a lot of money to be distributed as dividends in Q1, so Xiangjun can make another round of money!
Every business is short of money right now!
Junxiao Commercial Management is still negotiating the acquisition of Hengyuan Plaza, and the grand horn for its nationwide expansion is about to be sounded. They all need money to expand their territory!
Junxiao Hotel Group promised Gao Yue 500 billion, but if they don't deliver on that promise, she'll shut up and stop spouting nonsense, and that would be troublesome!
As for Junxing Auto, according to current plans, it is expected to add two more super smart factories, which may require an additional budget of 150-180 billion yuan.
Junxiao Capital, on the other hand, has begun to venture into the international market. The more money the better, and they can invest as much as they want!

Looking back now, the budget of 1500 billion yuan made at the beginning of the year wasn't even enough for one quarter!
Plans really can't keep up with changes!

No other company operates like this; they almost broke their cash flow by swiping money!

"Zhang Jie, how's your Buick Regal M7 going?"

When the topic of cars came up, Zhang Jie got really excited and talked non-stop for five minutes, covering everything from the three core electric components to the air suspension, from the smart cockpit to the smart chassis!

Xu Jia was stunned. This was the first time she had ever realized Zhang Jie could talk so much since they got married!
Chen Xiao winked at her, and instantly understood!

He meant he had found a good topic to talk about when he got home!
It turns out Zhang Jie is such a car enthusiast!
"Chen Xiao, I'm planning to organize a trip for the company employees in a while. How about I bring Xiangjun along so she can get away and relax too!"

Chen Xiao glanced at Zhao Xiangjun; it seemed she didn't care whether she went or not!

But I'm always out and about, and it's quite boring leaving her alone at home. It's good for her to go out and relax!
"Going out is fine, Sister Yan will accompany you, and all other arrangements must be at the highest level!"

Xu Jia knew that he was referring to security personnel!

She will definitely cooperate with this. Zhao Xiangjun's safety is also her top priority. If anything happens to her, Chen Xiao will probably tear himself apart!

Since it was a family dinner today, Chen Xiao didn't let Ma Jian come over to toast. Luffy was quite disappointed, as he missed an opportunity to show his face in front of President Chen. He wondered if President Chen would forget him after a while!

That evening, Xu Jia drove home in her Buick Regal M7, while Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun returned together in a Maybach S680.
Dr. Feng Robotics Technology Group
Chen Xiao arrived a little earlier today because he's been going to Junxiao Lakeside CBD Center a lot lately and rarely sleeps in until 11 a.m. anymore!

When they arrived at the office, Ma Jing excitedly came up and gave him a big hug, while also coaxing him into taking advantage of her for a while!
"Wait, Brother Chen Xiao, why are you here so early today?"

She interrupted me so much I almost forgot what I was doing!
"Call the HR director over here, and while you're at it, find out the name of the project team leader Zhang Jie is in, when he joined the company, his job level and salary, etc."

Seeing his serious expression, Ma Jing didn't dare to delay and immediately went to the Human Resources Department!
A short while later, the HR director arrived!
[HR: Mr. Chen, did you call me?]

Although Chen Xiao is a salesperson, his job level is P17, which is one level higher than the group's vice president's P16, so he is addressed as "General Manager Chen"!
He glanced at Ma Jing, who was following behind him.

Ma Jing understood!

"It's the third project team, led by Zhang Ping, who joined the company in February of this year and holds the rank of deputy director!"

[Chen Xiao: The members of the third project team are very capable; one person can do the work of several, and even the work of the team leader. Therefore, in order to save costs, the team leader of this project team can be eliminated!]

The HR director was dumbfounded. Chen Xiao rarely came to the company and never cared about anything other than business matters!

Why is she acting so strangely today? It caught her off guard!
But she knew that just because Chen Xiao didn't interfere in anything didn't mean he couldn't interfere in anything. Anyone who underestimated his attitude would be in big trouble!
The HR director certainly knew the significance of this P17, his importance to the company, and his position with General Manager Feng!

But she wasn't sure what Chen Xiao's true intentions were. He couldn't just fire a deputy director like he said!

They call it "optimization," but isn't it just firing you?

What are the reasons, and what should be done if a labor dispute arises?
[Chen Xiao: What, am I not clear?]

He said it casually, and the HR director suddenly tensed up, knowing that President Chen was angry!

It was confirmed that Chen Xiao wanted her to get rid of that deputy director, but that person was recommended by Vice President Chang Wei!
If you go to him to discuss optimization, he'll surely want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, right?
But if they don't go, the person in front of them is clearly more difficult to deal with!

[HR: Mr. Chen, I'll be right there. But may I ask the reason for the optimization?]

[Chen Xiao: Is it a valid reason that I don't like him?]

"Fine, whatever you say goes." Seeing that he was already looking impatient, the HR director didn't dare to ask any more questions and ran out in a flash!
"Ma Jing, please ask if the international conference hall is ready. Mr. Guo and his delegation will be here this afternoon for a technical exchange meeting!"

"It's already been arranged. Mr. Feng made the arrangements as soon as he arrived this morning!"

He nodded. This was what he texted Feng Feifei last night!
Guo Fu came to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Group this afternoon for technical exchange, but in reality, she was assessing the company's strength!
The smart city project is too broad a scope, and she was still a little worried that she wouldn't come and take a look. If the project's progress was delayed due to issues with the development of technical equipment, that would be a real problem!
Feng Feifei was approving OA documents in her office when her assistant knocked on the door!
"Mr. Feng, the HR Director has an urgent report to make!"

Putting down what she was doing, Feng Feifei adjusted her posture and said, "Let her in!"

Seeing that the HR director looked like he was about to cry, Feng Feifei was surprised!
"Mr. Feng, I don't know what to do now, so I've come to ask you for your advice!"

Feng Feifei is an extremely gentle boss towards her subordinates, especially the HR director, who has followed her all the way from her previous company to Dr. Feng's Robotics Technology Park! "Don't rush, speak slowly!"

I have to be anxious, otherwise Mr. Chen might give me a hard time if I don't get results soon!

"President Chen just called me over and asked me to get rid of the leader of the third project team!"

Chen Xiao is here at the company? Feng Feifei's face lit up with joy!
Remembering that the HR director was there, she forced a serious expression and said, "Then why don't you just optimize it?"

Karma?
The HR director was dumbfounded. Boss, aren't you going to ask why?
Is it serious to punish someone without prior instruction?
"But Mr. Feng, I don't know what reason to give to talk about this. They've already met their quarterly KPIs!"

"Didn't Mr. Chen explain the reason?"

The HR director said, feeling wronged, "President Chen said he doesn't like him, so he wants to let him go!"

"Then let's eliminate him, because a person's bad mood will affect their work!"

The HR director was stunned. Boss, isn't this a bit like "playing with fire"?

Because Mr. Chen doesn't like someone, you're afraid that person will affect Mr. Chen's mood, so you want to get rid of them?
"President Feng, Zhang Ping was recommended by Vice President Chang!"

Feng Feifei said impatiently, "I don't care who recommended it. Even if I recommended it, if it upsets President Chen, it has to be eliminated!"

The HR director came out of General Manager Feng's office, thinking to himself, "Wow, that's awesome!"
I only knew that President Chen was a ruthless person before, but I didn't expect him to be this ruthless. Even President Feng has to give him some leeway!
Third Project Team

Zhang Ping sat with his legs crossed behind his desk and said to the people surrounding him, "Let's go out and play cards again after get off work today!"

"Boss, I haven't gotten any work done today. I'm afraid I won't finish before I leave work!"

I have to sit here chatting all day while I'm at work, and then I have to go play cards after get off work. How am I supposed to get any work done?
"You're all so stubborn, I'll take charge!"

"Zhang Jie, come here for a second!"

Zhang Jie's heart tightened. Here we go again. He stood up and walked towards Zhang Ping, his mind replaying Chen Xiao's words from yesterday: "If he tells you to do something, you do it. But if he tells you to die next time, will you do it?"

Remembering his angry look at him for not living up to his potential, Zhang Jie suddenly felt he needed to be a man for once!
"You can do all of these things today!"

Why is everything being left to me?

Yo?
Zhang Ping stared at Zhang Jie in surprise. This idiot actually knew to ask why today?

"Why? You're doing a good job, so I'm giving you more opportunities to improve!"

He shook his head. "I have my own work to do. This isn't my job, I won't do it!"

"Damn it, Zhang Jie, you don't want to work here anymore, do you? You think I won't fire you?!"

This honest, unassuming guy, who's usually easy to bully, has actually started to rebel today. If I don't teach him a lesson, he won't know how many eyes the King of Horses has!

The HR director happened to come over, "Team Leader Zhang!"

"Mr. Cai, you've come at the right time. This Zhang Jie's work ability is average, he doesn't obey management, and he's disrespectful to his superiors. Shouldn't we consider terminating his employment?"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Jie smugly, as if to say, "Kid, see how I deal with you, I'll make you suffer and squeeze you to death!"

"Optimize Zhang Jie?" The HR director gave him a sympathetic look.
You've already been dragged to the execution ground, and you're still pretending to be a judge!
"Look, he's still not convinced. He thinks he's so great just because he was recommended by the top salesperson. Whoever recommended him, if he doesn't obey management, I have the right to fire him!"

In the workplace, disobeying your superiors is a major taboo!

When HR Director Jing Zhangping mentioned this, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Jie was recommended to the company by Chen Xiao, and even his salary was specially approved by General Manager Feng!

Judging from this, Zhang Ping had a conflict with him, so it seems that we have found the reason why President Chen wants to optimize Zhang Ping's position!

With a smile, the HR director said, "Team Leader Zhang, let's talk in the meeting room!"

Zhang Ping smiled broadly, not expecting the HR director to give him face. As he followed, he turned back to Zhang Jie and said, "You should reflect on this. I'll talk to Director Cai, and you can be fired in a bit!"

Zhang Jie looked dejected; he was probably going to cause Chen Xiaotian trouble again!
Arriving at the reception room

Zhang Ping, with a fawning expression, said, "President Cai, how should we optimize Zhang Jie's situation? Should I negotiate with him or should your HR department do it?"

With a cold laugh, the HR director said, "Team Leader Zhang, you've been with the company for almost two months now, are you still in your probationary period?"

All employees of the company have a 3-month probationary period!
Zhang Ping was taken aback, wondering what the HR meant by asking that!
I subconsciously replied, "It's the probationary period, but it's just a formality, what's the difference!"

She smiled faintly, "How could there be no difference? If you're a full-time employee, you get compensation when you leave, but you don't get it during your probationary period!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ping burst into laughter!
He thought the HR person was explaining human resources knowledge to him!

“Mr. Cai is right, I’ve learned something. Zhang Jie seems to have just been promoted. Do we have to compensate him?”

He shook his head. "We won't compensate him, and the company won't lay him off!"

Zhang Ping was immediately displeased. Why wasn't he being given any face at all?

"Team Leader Zhang, I need to inform you of something!"

Feeling slighted by the HR's lack of respect, Zhang Ping asked in a muffled voice, "What is it?"

"You've been optimized!"

Was I optimized?
Zhang Ping's first reaction was, "Are you fucking kidding me?"
I was a deputy director, recommended by General Manager Chang, and I was laid off?

"Mr. Cai, did you call me here so early in the morning just to joke about me?"

The HR shook his head: "Team Leader Zhang, I'm serious. From now on, you can hand over your work to Zhang Jie!"

"What do you mean?"

"Zhang Jie will temporarily take over your duties and be in charge of the third project team!"

Zhang Ping then realized something was wrong and said with a frosty expression, "Have you reported this to Vice President Chang?"

Seeing the HR shake his head, he sneered and said, "Then how dare you make such a decision on your own!"

"I've already reported to General Manager Feng. I'll report to General Manager Chang when I get back!"

Has General Manager Feng already agreed?
Zhang Ping suddenly felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his forehead; this was truly a bolt from the blue!
"I don't believe it. I'm going to see Vice President Chang. Without his approval, you have no right to optimize my performance!"

Seeing Zhang Ping's agitated state, the HR director calmly said, "You can contact anyone you want; I'm just telling you the result!"

"Remember to hand over your work to Zhang Jie, otherwise it will affect your salary!"

Watching the HR director leave, Zhang Ping slammed his fist on the table. This dramatic scene was an absolute disgrace!
He wanted to promote Zhang Jie, but in the end, he was the one who was promoted, and Zhang Jie took over his team leader position!
Where do I put my face?!

Chang Wei spoke with Li Hui in his office, mainly inquiring about Chang Sheng's recent performance in the business department.

Li Hui didn't hold back on praise, using every kind of compliment he could think of: potential, perseverance, and strong resilience.
However, there is no concrete data available because Changsheng has not yet secured any orders!
Just then, Chang Wei's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was his wife, the "tiger mom," calling!

He gestured for Li Hui to leave first, and they could talk again later when they had time.

After Li Hui left and closed the door, Chang Wei answered the phone!

"Chang Wei, let me tell you, your nephew is doing just fine at his job, but my nephew is going to lose his job. If you don't handle this properly, don't come back home!"

A little confused, "Which of your nephews is going to lose his job?"

"Zhang Ping is about to be laid off!" (End of Chapter)
