I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 108 Authority
The next two days were uneventful.

But Su Cheng felt a little uneasy in his heart, because this was not like his father's style.

He always felt that this promotion was not that easy.

Half morning.

Ye Li suddenly found Su Cheng: "Team Leader Su, Qin Fen, the two of you come out with me."

Su Cheng and Qin Fen followed Ye Li to the familiar fire escape with doubts.

Once the three of them reached the fire escape, they had to talk about some private matters.

Ye Li frowned slightly and asked Su Cheng: "Have Kang Xiaoxiao and Mu Xueping looked for you?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing serious, I just feel like they don't listen to my commands very well."

"I'll assign them a task this afternoon, and they need to ask Deng Qiang for his opinion first."

what?
Is there such a thing?
Su Cheng couldn't help but be surprised.

Deng Qiang used to be their direct supervisor, but after this job adjustment, Ye Li and Su Cheng became Kang Xiaoxiao and their direct supervisors.

This is not a typical reporting across levels, but a challenge to the authority of the new leader.

"Who is it? Kang Xiaoxiao?"

"It's not him." Ye Li denied, but did not mention a specific name.

Su Cheng also felt that it shouldn't be Kang Xiaoxiao. People like Kang Xiaoxiao are what his father calls weak Goats, and they would definitely not dare to do such a thing.

Ye Li didn't need to explain it too clearly.

There are only a few people in the group, Su Cheng, Qin Fen, and Kang Xiaoxiao, there are only two left.

It’s either Mu Xueping or Li Shanying.

But they are the same thing.

Everyone knows that Kang Xiaoxiao, Mu Xueping and Li Shanying are a small group of three similar to Su Chengye Li and Qinfen, the kind that can wear the same pants.

Ye Li explained to Su Cheng in detail the problems she had discovered in the past two days.

Reporting across levels of authority is just one of the phenomena Ye Li discovered.

What Ye Li couldn't tolerate was Mu Xueping and the others' work attitude.

They always selectively carry out the tasks they are assigned, only completing the easy parts and avoiding the core work.

Su Cheng replied calmly: "This is normal."

"Ah? Normal?" Ye Li looked at Su Cheng suspiciously.

Although Qin Fen didn't quite understand, he also felt that something was wrong: "Brother Cheng, this doesn't seem normal, right?"

Su Cheng explained.

Regardless of the unit or organization, whether it is a large department of dozens of people or a small group of a few people, there will be a few days of...chaos after the job adjustments.

Su Cheng was thinking about what words to use to describe it accurately, and it seemed that only "chaotic period" was appropriate.

The most common phenomenon during the "chaos period" is information manipulation.

This is a very serious problem.

As a consulting department working on the front line, they are extremely dependent on information.

Market research, field visits, and information collection on related upstream and downstream industrial chains are all very important links.

These people will selectively filter information, only report negative news, create information islands, and hinder decision-making.

Missing a key piece of information may lead to a misjudgment of the main case and result in a failed case.

If it is a small case, it is okay, but if it is a medium or large case, then the three of them will definitely not be able to handle it.

So the superiors must solve this problem as soon as possible.

Otherwise, in addition to these invisible confrontations, an informal power alliance will be formed in private, making it difficult to advance the work, and Ye Li will be blamed in the end.

Even emotional pollution.

At first, Ye Li didn't realize this problem. She thought Mu Xueping and the others really didn't know how to do it, so she helped to solve part of it herself. She was exhausted both physically and mentally in the past two days.

But after hearing what Su Cheng said, it seemed like this was a typical act of invisible confrontation. Qin Fen suddenly thought of something: "According to what Brother Cheng said, I seem to have discovered a phenomenon."

"what?"

"Mu Xueping always likes to check the time and watch during meetings these past two days," Qin Fen explained. "She's checking her watch even after just a few minutes of meetings. She might check it seven or eight times in one meeting."

After listening to Qin Fen's words, Ye Li began to recall the scenes at the meeting.

"I don't know how Sister Li, who presided over the meeting, felt, but as a participant, I felt quite uncomfortable. Is this emotional pollution?"

Su Cheng affirmed: "Yes!"

Ye Li also remembered that Mu Xueping did frequently raise her wrist to check the time.

"You are more suitable to be the team leader than me."

"No, Sister Lizi, you are the team leader, okay?"

"Don't be so mean, I want to know if they did it on purpose."

"It's intentional, but not intentional." Su Cheng didn't dare to keep Ye Li in suspense. "She herself may not even realize that she is emotionally polluting everyone. These little actions like checking the watch are all subconscious behaviors."

"Subjectively it was not intentional, but objectively it was intentional."

Ye Li has been working very hard these past two days, unlike team leader Deng Qiang who has a lot of free time.

When Deng Qiang was the team leader, similar tasks should have been performed by team members, but in fact it was she, the deputy team leader, who was doing it.

Now that she is the team leader, she still has to do the work?

This is definitely not right!
Ye Li doesn't want this to continue.

When she was the deputy team leader, she had never worried about such issues outside of work. Her approach to work and interpersonal relationships has always been to not fight or argue, not make a fuss or compete.

The deputy team leader is not the real leader, the team leader is.

With Deng Qiang in charge, everyone is in a delicate balance.

But after the job adjustment, this balance was broken.

Only now did Ye Li truly encounter the power branch of the Dihao Group.

Someone was challenging her, and she had to respond.

It's definitely not going to work the way it was before.

"Should I be tougher with them?"

Su Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Being tough doesn't seem to be very effective. If someone just smiles and gives you a bunch of excuses and justifications, what are you going to do? Can you still fire them?"

"If necessary, I will exercise this authority."

"Sister Li Zi, are you so angry that you're losing your mind? How can you just fire a K6?"

Ye Li: ...

It seems so.

She only has the power to write reports and make evaluations.

Can't we wait a few more months?
Wouldn’t the work of these past few months be a mess?

Qin Fen, standing by, was shocked. "What?? Team leaders don't have the power to fire people? Then why did Deng Qiang keep using this to scare me? I thought he could really fire me with just one word, damn it!"

Su Cheng chuckled: "You already said it, they were just trying to scare you."

Deng Qiang has been a veteran in the Dihao Group for many years, so he naturally knows that intimidation is one of the most worry-free and labor-saving management methods.

These Pua words just come out of his mouth.

When Ye Li is compared with Deng Qiang, their strengths and weaknesses become clear at a glance.

When it comes to handling commercial cases and business consulting, Ye Li is more experienced, smarter, and more capable of coming up with good ideas.

But as a leader, she is a newcomer compared to Deng Qiang.

"How about this, I'll knock it on you first and see if it works."

Ye Li was silent for a few seconds, then agreed to Su Cheng's proposal: "Okay, that's the only way."
