Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

Cheng Ye took one last deep look at the building that held all his youth and struggles, then calmly opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.

In this secluded private space, Cheng Ye could no longer maintain his composure. He slumped over the steering wheel, his eyes filled with disappointment and a bitter smile on his lips.

Seventeen years, a full seventeen years. He joined McDonald's right after graduating from university, working his way up from management trainee to ordinary store clerk, then to team leader, deputy manager, manager, regional operations manager... and finally regional development director.

When there are changes in the company's senior management, the first thing the new top leader does is to implement personnel reforms.

He wouldn't dare say he made outstanding contributions to the company, but he was certainly diligent and hardworking, and his team's performance was among the best in several major regions across the country.

It's ridiculous that I'm being asked to leave the company now because of poor decision-making and failure to meet performance targets, which caused huge losses to the company.

Feeling wronged, resentful, angry, and anxious about the future—a complex mix of emotions welled up inside me.

Although he was very confident in his abilities and experience, he couldn't help but worry about whether he could find an equal or better job to support himself.

Life goes on, and things will work themselves out. Cheng Ye took a few deep breaths, composed himself, started the car, and drove home.

When Cheng Ye returned home, he seemed no different than usual. He smiled and gave his wife, Sun Xinxin, a kiss on the cheek. "Was Little Orange a good girl today?"

"Sweetie, eat your fill and then go to sleep. You're sleeping like a little pig, still sleeping right now."

Sun Xinxin took Cheng Ye's briefcase and casually asked, "Honey, why are you off work so early today? Weren't you saying you were busy and working overtime the other day?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ye paused for a moment, then quickly regained his composure. "I was busy the past few days to catch up on the project. Now that it's finished, I can finally take a break."

"Great, honey, why don't you go in and take a hot bath to relax? I'll call the housekeeper and ask her to buy more of your favorite dishes."

Looking into his wife's bright eyes and happy smile, Cheng Ye's disappointed mood suddenly improved, and he smiled and said, "Okay."

After visiting his adorable daughter in the nursery, Cheng Ye lay in the bathtub filled with hot water, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

He couldn't tell his wife about his unemployment. His wife, Sun Xinxin, was a typical gentle and lovely woman who depended on him completely.

If she knew she was unemployed, she would definitely overthink things and have trouble sleeping at night.

Cheng Ye always believed in establishing a career before starting a family, which is why he didn't marry Sun Xinxin, who was nine years younger than him, until he was thirty-three years old.

The couple had a son, Cheng Chen, the year after their marriage, and a daughter, Cheng Cheng, three years later, forming a happy family of four.

We bought our house at the peak of the housing market, and we still have a long time to pay off the mortgage. Our son, Chengchen, has kindergarten tuition of more than 20,000 yuan a month, and our daughter, Xiaochengzi, will be starting kindergarten soon.

The housekeeper's salary, various living expenses, and other miscellaneous costs add up to a considerable sum each month.

Although the family still has some savings, so he won't be broke right after losing his job, if he only spends money and doesn't earn any, it won't last long.

......

After a series of strategic analyses, assessments, planning, scheme development, multiple meetings, recruitment, and internal reassignments, Qianwei finally completed the restructuring and optimization of its organizational structure two months later.

The company currently has thirteen departments: General Manager's Office, Operations Department, Market Development Department, Marketing Department, Production Department, R&D Department, Finance Department, Legal Department, Human Resources Department, Administration Department, Information Technology Department, Customer Service Department, and Engineering Department.

The Operations Department is divided into a Store Operations Group and a Supply Chain Management Group, which are responsible for the daily operation and management of all stores and supplier management, including raw material procurement, warehousing and logistics distribution.

External expansion, including market research, site selection and development, and the opening of new stores, has been transferred to the newly established Market Development Department.

The job responsibilities of other departments have not changed much, but have been made more detailed, with dedicated personnel assigned to specific positions.

Lin Chuan was promoted to deputy general manager. Other department heads were either directly promoted internally or newly recruited from outside. However, as long as the internal employees were capable enough, Chu Yu still preferred to use "his own people".

The Market Development Department, a separate department specifically established, is currently the department that Chu Yu is most focused on. Its main responsibilities include:

We conduct market research and analysis, business district evaluation, and store selection in different cities and regions across the country.

Negotiating leases with shop owners or commercial real estate developers, signing project agreements, and preparing for and before opening a store.

It is the vanguard department for the company's outward expansion, continuous increase in market share, and sustainable development, and it is also the cornerstone for the company to achieve long-term stable profitability and large-scale development.

Therefore, Chu Yu has very high requirements for the head of the market development department.

Keen market insight, excellent business negotiation and project management skills, high efficiency, and at least 5 years of experience in preparing catering projects and successful experience in market expansion of chain catering brands are all indispensable.

Besides possessing the necessary professional skills, it is also very important to consider whether one is a good fit with Qianwei, Chuyu, and the entire team.

This has resulted in all other department heads being in place, but the head of the market development department has yet to be found a suitable candidate.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Please come in."

Cheng Su looked up at the door and saw Huang Xinci. She smiled and said, "You're here. Have a seat."

"Thank you, Director." Huang Xinci walked to the desk and sat down opposite Cheng Su.

"Boss, what instructions do you have for me?"

"It's not exactly instructions, it's the same old problem. This morning when I went to General Manager Chu's office to discuss work, he asked about recruiting a Director of Market Development again."

After saying that, Cheng Su couldn't help but frown. "We've been trying to recruit a director for the market development department for almost two months, and we still haven't found anyone. Anyone would be anxious, let alone President Chu."

Huang Xinci also had a headache when she talked about this. In the past two months, she had used all kinds of methods, including various recruitment software, recruitment platforms, headhunters, and peer referrals. She had received a lot of job seekers, but none of them were quite suitable after the interviews.

As the HR manager in charge of recruitment, she was even more anxious than their director about the long wait to find the right people. But all she could say was, "Boss, I completely understand how you and General Manager Chu feel. I know this has been dragging on for a while and it's putting pressure on everyone."

"We've tried all sorts of recruitment channels recently, and we've also been actively communicating with our peers to see if there are any suitable candidates to recommend. Next, I plan to contact more high-end headhunters and increase recruitment promotions on catering industry forums and social groups to recruit the right people as soon as possible."

Seeing Huang Xinci's serious expression, Cheng Su's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and she nodded to her, "Now is not the time to assign blame. You and your subordinates have indeed been working hard, and I have seen it all."

"You continue to cast a wide net through multiple channels, and I will also carefully review my industry connections to fill this gap as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Huang Xinci gave a grateful smile, "Thank you, Director. I will continue to work hard and complete the recruitment task as soon as possible."

"Haha, good, I have faith in you." Cheng Su's tone became even gentler. "Xin Ci, you've been with the company longer than me, and you're one of the founding members who started the business with President Chu. You're more familiar with the company and your colleagues than I am. In the future, let's communicate more about anything at work, and feel free to bring up any good work suggestions you may have."

Huang Xinci quickly responded with a smile: "Director, you're too kind. I'm hardly a veteran. It's all thanks to President Chu's kindness and willingness to guide us. I will definitely cooperate with you well in our work in the future."

"Okay, that's all for now. You can go ahead and get busy. Contact me anytime if there are any new developments."

"Okay, Director, I'll head out now."
