Chapter 570 Repaying a Favor Over Many Years
Liu Shu came to work the next day with swollen eyes. She had intended to go to Boss Ye’s office to ask again, but everyone knew that Boss Ye’s rule was that matters must first go through Deputy Tang before reaching him, and anyone who bypassed the chain of command would be disciplined. So, she could only wait in her uncle’s office, hoping he could think of another way for her.
Tang Zhao walked lazily towards his office. As he reached the doorway, he saw Liu Shu sitting inside and was about to walk away when he heard a tearful voice from within.
“Uncle~~”
Tang Zhao shivered and reluctantly turned to go inside, throwing his belongings onto the desk and slumping into a chair.
“Speak, what is it now? Didn’t you already cry yesterday?”
“If I cried yesterday, can’t I cry again today?”
Tang Zhao unbuttoned his collar, lit a cigarette, and patiently waited for the person opposite him to finish crying.
“Uncle, why does Boss Ye suddenly not want me anymore? You know that as long as I can get close to Boss Ye’s family, I can surely win their hearts. My mother even says I’m the cutest little joy, the one who pleases elders the most.”
“That’s your mother lying to you, don’t believe it.”
“You, am I that bad?”
“Not bad, just average. Relying on your dad, you can only achieve average.”
Liu Shu’s tears of grievance flowed again. Tang Zhao lit another cigarette, wondering if he would be suffocated by his sister’s family.
“Alright, no need to be upset. Boss Ye gave you money, go pick out some things you like as compensation. It’s over a month’s salary.”
A stack of money thrown onto the desk signaled that Liu Shu had no hope left.
“I don’t want it. If Boss Ye doesn’t have my help, who will he rely on? How will he explain to his sister? Uncle, please help me again, I beg you, otherwise, I’ll be utterly humiliated at work.”
“I can’t help. Did you get arrogant at work again?”
Liu Shu lowered her head. She had only been a little bit arrogant. Tang Zhao looked at the person opposite him with dead fish eyes. Serves her right, and she was dragging him down with her.
“Now, immediately, leave. Don’t force me to transfer you.”
“Uncle, you’re going too far. Have you forgotten how much my mother doted on you?”
“Get out!”
Tang Zhao watched the door slam shut, his eyes devoid of any light. Yes, he had been taken care of for a few years, and he had been repaying a favor for many years.
Ye Shenge saw her five assistants again at home, looking through their recent work reports.
“Boss, several large pharmaceutical factories have opened nationwide. The drugs they produce are selling very well in the market, and our factory’s revenue has declined recently.”
“This is nothing. The country is so large, we can’t consume it all. But the demand for finished drugs will only grow. It’s just that many people haven’t been exposed to them yet.”
In the future, there would be many brands for the same drug. What they needed to focus on now was quality and efficacy, as well as continuing to develop new products. This would involve all aspects, and then her few pharmaceutical factories would be invincible.
“Ji Zeng, you need to ensure our medicines are available in pharmacies and hospitals across the country. Small clinics also represent a significant market. We’re not afraid of hiring people, but we must strictly control management to prevent anyone from accepting high kickbacks. The price of the drugs sold must also be kept within a certain range to avoid damaging our brand due to excessively high prices.”
“Okay, we’ve already started in cities and counties with factories. The rest will take a long time.”
“Try to speed up. Others are doing the same thing we are.”
Ye Shenge glanced at Wen Miao beside her. This person was suitable for execution but not for organization and leadership.
“Wen Miao, you’ll also work in the pharmaceutical factory from now on. You can be Ji Zeng’s deputy, a partner, so to speak.”
“Okay.”
Wen Miao scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. He knew his shortcomings, and having someone to guide him gave him peace of mind.
Ye Shenge smiled. They still had a gap compared to the top talents her mother had.
“Yu Lei, how are you getting along with the people at the jewelry company? Are you able to take charge now?”
Yu Lei’s body straightened up immediately when he was called upon. Ye Shenge smiled when she saw this and quickly waved her hand to tell him to relax.
“Reporting to the boss, I’ve been working with the previous project manager for over ten days now and am familiar with all the processes of the jewelry company, as well as our supply chain and production procedures.”
“Very good. Your main task is to cooperate with his work, as he’s been in charge of everything so far. But they will eventually let go, and I hope you can shoulder the responsibility. Try to train a few assistants who are in sync with you; you can’t manage everything alone.
Also, all raw materials must pass through your eyes and hands after they arrive. You haven’t dealt with jewelry rough stones before, so you need to learn. Learn to distinguish their quality and grade with just one glance.”
“Yes, I’ve already started learning.”
Ye Shenge was very satisfied. She was afraid of people not learning; once someone has the ambition to learn, nothing is impossible.
Bao Qianqian had been tense, waiting for her turn.
“Bao Qianqian, from today onwards, you will put aside all your work related to Guan Yu Fanghua.”
“Ah, boss, am I not doing well enough?”
“It’s not that you’re not doing well enough, it’s just that your personality isn’t suited for working at a place like Yu Fanghua. Hmm~ to put it bluntly, you’re too boisterous. The people who get beauty treatments at Yu Fanghua are generally from well-off families. They lie there sometimes for enjoyment and peace. Actually, you’d be more suited for the front desk, but that would be a waste of your education.”
“I, I can change, I can control myself.”
“No need. I’ve arranged a more suitable job for you.”
Bao Qianqian felt very dejected. She was probably the only one being criticized. Ye Shenge didn’t comfort her; what she needed here were results, and the salary offered was very high, so they had to be worthy of it.
“I have a project in development here. You will be the secretary for the project’s R&D personnel. He’s very important, but he’s also very undisciplined and loves to play and joke around. Your lively personality should get along well with him. I want you to supervise him, and if he doesn’t complete his work each day, there will be a punishment. Also, you need to understand the basic knowledge.”
Although Bao Qianqian didn’t quite understand, she wasn’t fired, which was something.
“I will definitely complete it very well.”
“Good, find me for his work plan later. You just need to strictly follow what’s on it.”
For someone like Jin Yu Tian, if you assigned a rigid person to supervise him, it would only create rebellion. If he had a secretary who could chat, converse, and even play, he might at least not cause trouble.
Ye Shenge glanced at Jia Yannan. This person was the most taciturn among them but possessed absolute execution ability, like someone who had undergone military-style training.
“Jia Yannan, you will also be transferred to the new project. It’s a very tedious project that hasn’t officially started yet. You should be the most patient person.”
