Chapter 646: Manager Pei is raging!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Manager Pei, morning!”
“Mhm, morning.”
“Good morning, Manager Pei!”
“Morning!”
As Pei Ge walked along the corridor to her office, she greeted this company’s employees with a smile.
Bang!
She closed the door and looked at the warm sunlight streaming in and illuminating the office, yet her heart did not feel its warmth.
She sat in front of her desk and, like yesterday, seriously studied the company’s past records.
...
“What kind of background do you think our new manager has?”
“Who knows? Maybe, she has a powerful background, or else she won’t be our manager now! The company even arranged such a nice house for her.”
“Rubbish! If she has a powerful background, she won’t be some general manager here. Do you think that our company is a good place to be at?”
“That’s right. Our company’s profits are getting worse and worse, and we are even in the red this year. We’re on the brink of bankruptcy. If she really has a powerful background, will she still be here as a general manager?”
“I suspect that she had offended someone and got ‘exiled’ to this nearly bankrupt company. They made it seem as if she got promoted when, in fact, she got demoted.”
“I don’t think so.”
“Hmph! Just keep observing. Our company might even fold this year. By then, this manager will likely flop over, too!”
Upon stepping out of her office, she coincidentally heard this group of women’s mutterings. A helpless smile appeared on her lips.
Seems that my situation is a public secret to this whole company.
“Cough!” She lightly coughed just as this group of women moved to continue their gossip.
“Ah!”
This crowd huddling together to gossip got a fright. Out of guilt, they did not dare to meet her eyes. As they were thin-skinned, their already red faces reddened further.
In that moment, the atmosphere in this small division became extremely awkward.
“Where is Wu Yongkang?” She acted as if she had not heard their conversation and just popped this question with a light smile.
“Bro-Brother Wu went on an errand,” one of the girls timidly replied.
“An errand?” She frowned. “What errand is he running?”
“I don’t know.” The girl shook her head.
“Then, how did you know he had gone on an errand?”
“I-I...”
The girl was clearly frightened as she stuttered for a long time but still could not give a proper answer.
She helplessly sighed at this.
“Give him a call and tell him to return now. No matter what he’s doing, tell him to come back at once.”
Finishing her order, she returned to her office.
Despite not being a company decision-maker, after staying here for a few days, she could still tell that this company was rotten all the way to the core.
Actually, the most pressing and biggest problem was not the bad reputation of the company’s past projects but its troublesome employees, instead.
The employees here were all very lax. They came to work every day, only to wait for quitting time. No one was motivated or proactive in their work.
This type of employees took up 80% of the company’s population. The remaining 20% comprised the management-level employees who simply wanted to get something good out of the company by finding loopholes in the system.
How was she supposed to save this company, which was rotten to its core and had such employees?
“Sigh...” She let out a sigh full of fatigue.
Ji Ziming’s father had truly given her a very hard case to handle...
While she was considering the company’s situation and flipping through the employee records, someone knocked on her office door.
Knock, knock, knock!
She promptly put down the records in her hands and answered, “Enter.”
“Manager Pei, I heard that you were looking for me?” Wu Yongkang walked inside. “Did you have something for me?”
Watching the assistant approach her with a smile, she casually asked, “Wu Yongkang, how long have you been an employee of Jiaheng Real Estate?”
“Ah?” Wu Yongkang was taken aback by her question. “I think I’ve been working here for five or six years? I’ve been here for so long that I can’t really recall.”
“So that means you are a tenured employee...” She looked at him devoid of emotion. “You’ve been at Jiaheng for so long and seen it’s rise and fall. Logically, you should feel a sentimental attachment to this company.”
“Yes, this is like my second home.” He nodded and smiled.
“Then, is this how you spoil and damage your house?” She looked at him expressionlessly, helplessness flashing past her eyes.
“Ah? Manager Pei, what are you talking about?” He looked at her in confusion.
“Wu Yongkang, you know very well what I’m talking about. Although I am but a small manager and can’t know everyone’s movements, as my secretary, I still understand you enough!” She smashed the documents she had been reading just then on her desk.
A bang resounded in this not-so-spacious general manager’s office. The air stilled and turned cold at once.
He was totally spooked by the angry shout of this friendly and usually calm woman.
“Although I’m new here, I am no fool! Tell me yourself how long you have been around the company ever since I came?!”
She looked coldly at him. “Surprisingly, an assistant like you is even busier than me, who is the general manager.”
Her dark and clear eyes were currently icy. Faced with such a gaze, he could not help but shiver. How could he possibly even say the lies he had prepared?
He swallowed all these lies back into his stomach.
“Since I was sent here to take charge of this company, I will properly do my part as a general manager.”
Her expression slowly returned to normal. Although she still did not smile, it was not as cold as before.
“I hope you are clear on how and what you should do in the future. After all, I don’t want to be raising a bunch of people who only know how to take advantage of the company!”
