157: Chapter 157 Just who is President Zhao?

The atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat heavy.

Although Zhao Xiaoshuai hadn't touched the positions of the senior executives, he had promoted quite a few people under almost all of them, and these people were threats who might replace them in the future.

A deep sense of crisis arose in everyone's heart.

Everyone knew that a new official would start with a "three-fire" policy, but wasn't this new president acting a bit too childishly?

Many employees were even transferred across departments, many others had no track record at all, and a few were clearly just hired!

And it was rumored that the president had only chatted with each person for a sentence or two, just enough time to say hello, and could somehow see everyone's talent?

Who was he trying to fool?

In their hearts, they mostly believed this was a show of power to make them behave and listen.

But this method was truly too immature and childish. If nothing else, if it affected the company's business, how would he answer to the board of directors?

Even if his background was sky-high and he could withstand the pressure from above, if the company actually earned less money, he would be the one losing out.

But the results of just one day made the group of senior executives drop their jaws in shock.

Those ordinary employees who were usually lazy and unknown, after this promotion, were all like they had been injected with adrenaline, running at high speed.

But this was also normal; if they couldn't get motivated to work, it was mostly because they couldn't see any opportunities for advancement.

Once the ladder of advancement was right in front of them, and they only needed to work hard to step up, the vast majority of people would burst forth with enthusiasm beyond their limits.

But what these executives couldn't understand was that the vast majority of these promoted people were extremely well-suited for their current positions, their work efficiency was two or three times higher than the people who held the positions before, and the quality was even higher!

Moreover, these talents who "suddenly" revealed their capabilities were all working extremely hard; yesterday, they basically worked overtime until the early hours, yet this morning, they all arrived at work on time, full of energy.

This was completely different from before, when working two or three hours of overtime would leave everyone listless, and they would all arrive at the company at the last second the next day.

Many proposals that made them slap the table in admiration appeared in just that one short day, making them exclaim, "So there were so many talents in the company all along?"

Did the president really have superpowers?

Only needing one look to know an employee's strengths and weaknesses and put them in the most suitable position?

That was too unbelievable.

Therefore, at this moment, while a strong sense of crisis welled up in their hearts, they couldn't help but be filled with awe for that mysterious parachuted president.

"Hello, President Zhao!"

As soon as Zhao Xiaoshuai entered the room, all the executives stood up in unison to greet him, which stunned him slightly.

However, he just assumed it was the power of authority, didn't think much of it, and sat at the head of the table with his two secretaries.

'A president is a president; if nothing else, the quality of these secretaries is ridiculously high.'

Bai Feng was 33, and Ling Rui was 23. Both were 8/10 in terms of looks, yet they represented the charm of almost two different generations, basically appealing to men of all ages who still had desires.

One of the two women was mature, charming, and infinitely alluring, while the other was youthfully invincible with a haughty expression. This cold and hot style formed a sharp contrast, making the men present subconsciously swallow their saliva.

"There's nothing major today, just checking on the results of yesterday's personnel adjustments."

"The Xiao Zhang that President Zhao promoted definitely has the bearing of a master!" "President Zhao is brilliant!" "President Zhao knows how to use people well!" "The Xiao Li that President Zhao promoted is wasted in our company!"

"One at a time!"

After listening to each executive's report, Zhao Xiaoshuai could basically confirm that these people weren't all just flattering him; his arrangements from yesterday had truly worked miracles.

Although there were still a few individual cases where the promotion had average results, this was all within an acceptable range.

It wasn't that everyone could display exactly as much ability as they possessed.

Some people might be unadapted, some might lack self-confidence, and some might just be pure slackers, but they would only be given one chance; if they couldn't grasp it, they could only blame themselves.

"All personnel adjustments this time remain unchanged from what was initially said. It's a one-week probationary period. Those with good results will be promoted to their current positions, and those with poor results will return to their previous ones."

"There are many people who have been optimized this time. Personnel is already recruiting as quickly as possible. Everyone, please put in some extra effort during this period."

"I know that management positions aren't just about having ability, so rest assured, as long as you can handle the tasks I assign, I won't easily move you from your positions."

"Also, Shen Lang."

"President Zhao, I'm here!"

Ever since the "misunderstanding was cleared up," Shen Lang had corrected his attitude and once again became Zhao Xiaoshuai's number one sycophant.

"Your current position is also a temporary promotion. It depends on your actual performance, but the assessment period will be longer, let's set it at one month."

"Also, there's a new management trainee named Gao Wenqiang; you take him under your wing and work together."

A month was enough time for him to fully demonstrate his value. Shen Lang replied confidently: "President Zhao, rest assured! I will definitely not fail to live up to President Zhao's appreciation!"

Other executives couldn't help but feel a bit envious. This Shen Lang had previously risen to his position through nepotism, and later, for some unknown reason, offended someone and was suppressed.

Who would have thought that the winds of change would blow so fast? In the blink of an eye, he was about to make a comeback. He could be considered to have experienced the ups and downs of life.

"That's all then. In the future, if you have any matters, go to my two secretaries, Bai Feng and Ling Rui."

The two beauties introduced themselves in an indifferent manner and greeted the executives.

After all, one was the daughter of a major shareholder, and the other was the little princess of the main group. Facing these so-called executives of a subsidiary, they indeed didn't need to give too much face.

Once these two names were mentioned, some executives who had connections with the higher-ups couldn't sit still.

'Bai Feng! I was wondering why she felt familiar; so she's Director Bai's daughter! But shouldn't Director Bai's daughter be Shen Lang's wife? He used to brag about it; how is she now working as President Zhao's secretary?'

He looked thoughtfully at Shen Lang, who had suddenly lost power and then been promoted again, his wife Bai Feng, and the new President Zhao. He truly couldn't see through the relationship between these three.

'Could it be...'

A plot he had only seen in educational films suddenly rushed into his mind, but immediately he himself felt it was truly impossible.

'How could something like offering one's own wife for a promotion happen? Not to mention how a director's daughter would never agree, Lingyue Design isn't even a large company; it's not worth it.'

And another director with even stronger connections was even more shocked.

Yesterday, he had heard a baseless rumor that the new president was actually the son-in-law of the Lingshi Group chairman, and that the little princess of Ling Shi would also come to their company to be a little secretary.

This rumor was too outrageous.

Even if he really was the son-in-law of Ling Shi, even if it wasn't a matrilocal marriage, he would certainly have to pamper the little princess of Ling Shi. How could it be possible to make her work as a secretary?

He had just laughed it off yesterday, but today, only shock remained.

Who exactly is this new president!
