Chapter 31 I know her, she has a terrible temper.

Beep, beep, beep.

A message pinged in the Operations Department group chat.

Supervisor Liao Yifeng: Meeting in Conference Room 2 in 10 minutes. Everyone must attend.

Axin: Received!

Caicai Loves Veggies: Received!

Gu Shaonan: Received!

Huai: Received!

Ling Yue copied the previous message and pasted it as her reply: Received!

...

Conference Room 2.

After receiving the message, everyone arrived one after another.

Supervisor Liao Yifeng pushed the door open with a stern face, holding a thermos in his right hand, a laptop tucked under his left arm, and his hair slicked back perfectly.

He was 34 years old this year. Ling Yue knew this because every year on his birthday, he would invite the department staff out to eat under the guise of a team-building dinner. Not only did all the employees have to split the bill, but they also had to give him red envelopes.

The first year, Ling Yue gave 200, and she suffered a month of cold shoulders from him as a result.

"I am announcing something." Supervisor Liao Yifeng didn't waste words and went straight to the point:

"We have a new brand coming in today—a nursing home targeting the middle-to-high-end demographic. They currently have 5 branches in Hangzhou and require us to conduct on-site live streaming with a set design.

Here is the brand background check."

Gu Shaonan busied himself running back and forth, setting up the screen projection for Supervisor Liao Yifeng's laptop.

The lights in the conference room dimmed.

Supervisor Liao Yifeng took the clicker Gu Shaonan handed him with both hands and began to explain: "This brand is already quite well-known in Hangzhou, and this live stream is intended to further enhance its brand awareness.

The live stream is not for selling products; we will use the 'little windmill' to guide customers to consult via the backend. The consultation section is handled by their customer service department, while we are primarily responsible for the number of users who inquire.

The client has given us a three-month trial period; they will only continue to work with us if they are satisfied with the live streaming results.

The promotional fee they are offering is not low, and this project is highly regarded by upper management. The Director's intention is for both departments to be jointly responsible.

Are Group 4 and Group 6 currently in a downtime period?"

"Our clothing project just ended two weeks ago." Group 6 Leader Gu Shaonan specifically emphasized the words "just ended," without mentioning at all that they had been dropped by the client.

As it happened, the Group 4 leader was Team Leader Chen Rui. She said: "Didn't you say the day before yesterday that you were going to give the snacks project to our group?"

Compared to consultation-based projects, projects that generate actual sales obviously offer more commission.

Who goes to work if not for money?

Team Leader Chen Rui didn't really want to take on this nursing home project.

Supervisor Liao Yifeng said in an unrefusable tone: "Talks with the snack brand fell through. From now on, Group 4 and Group 6 will be jointly responsible for the nursing home project.

I'm giving you one week. The first three days are for completing the script and host training, and the last four days for on-site setup. The test stream results must meet the standards."

Team Leader Chen Rui exchanged looks with her team members. What else could they do? There were no other brands entering right now, so they had no choice but to accept it.

"Look happy, don't pull long faces at me!" Supervisor Liao Yifeng slammed his thermos onto the table, the sound appearing exceptionally loud in the quiet conference room.

Gu Shaonan's tail was practically wagging up to the sky; clearly, he wasn't the one pulling a long face. These words were aimed specifically at Team Leader Chen Rui. While pretending to scratch an itch with her head down, Team Leader Chen Rui rolled her eyes.

"The commission originally set by the company was very low. It was only after I spent several days pushing upper management that the company reformulated the commission scheme.

If the monthly number of inquiries reaches 3,000, the two groups will share 150,000 in commission. If it reaches 5,000, they will share 200,000. If it breaks 10,000, they will share 300,000."

Team Leader Chen Rui raised her hand and asked: "Is this just for the Operations Department, or is it shared with the Livestreaming Department?"

Supervisor Liao Yifeng glared at her. "Currently, it is shared between the two departments, but—but I will continue to report this to upper management later."

Team Leader Chen Rui was completely disappointed.

When had Supervisor Liao Yifeng's reports ever been effective?

Sigh, the current work environment is difficult. Just grab whatever project is available.

Supervisor Liao Yifeng suddenly switched to a heavy tone: "The current macro-environment is just like this. The key is, you all need to work hard!

If you want to make money, then work hard for me! If this project fails, the company will dissolve one department."

Various murmurs arose from the crowd.

"Ahem! Quiet!" Supervisor Liao Yifeng scanned everyone with a cold gaze.

"What are you arguing about! Upper management hasn't decided which department to dissolve yet; it will depend on the performance of each group from now on." Supervisor Liao Yifeng picked up his thermos, stood up, and pointed at Team Leader Chen Rui and Gu Shaonan. "You two, come to my office."

Gu Shaonan eagerly helped Supervisor Liao Yifeng pack up his laptop.

No one knew what the three of them discussed in the office, but after a short while, Team Leader Chen Rui was the first to come out of the supervisor's office with a stiff face.

Ling Yue saw the people from Team Leader Chen Rui's department take out their phones simultaneously; she guessed they were about to have an internal discussion.

At this moment, inside the supervisor's office.

Gu Shaonan was waiting on Supervisor Liao Yifeng hand and foot, refilling his thermos with tea. "Brother Liao, don't worry. I will definitely do a good job with the Hefeng Nursing Home project and share your burdens!"

"You're the sensible one. Chen Rui..." Supervisor Liao Yifeng paused, his expression displeased. "She's still young and sharp-edged."

"Sigh, how could she understand your good intentions? Her mind is only full of making money; she doesn't take you to heart at all." While chatting, Gu Shaonan didn't skimp on adding his own private agenda.

The tea was a bit hot; Supervisor Liao Yifeng sipped it from the edge. "By the way, that person in your department, Ling Yue, is back, right?"

"Yeah, that young girl is quite headstrong. She started clashing with me as soon as she came back today. Sigh, she's really hard to manage." Gu Shaonan feigned difficulty.

"I know her; she has a big temper." Supervisor Liao Yifeng still remembered the time Ling Yue talked back to him when asking for leave. He patted Gu Shaonan's shoulder with a sense of shared misery. "You don't need to be troubled.

The people above know she has stomach cancer and intend for me to find an excuse to get rid of her."

"Really? But... what if she goes to labor arbitration?" Gu Shaonan was both excited and a little worried.

Of course, he wasn't worried that Ling Yue would actually go to arbitration, but rather that the heavy burden of resolving this matter would ultimately fall on his shoulders.

He was so kind-hearted; he couldn't bear to force out a young girl who was sick!

Supervisor Liao Yifeng took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Gu Shaonan nimbly produced a lighter and lit it for the supervisor.

Supervisor Liao Yifeng took a deep drag, and then, he forcefully exhaled the smoke. "Of course, it's to persuade her to resign. It's better to let her leave voluntarily.

As part of the company, we must know how to save money for the company. Only by putting the company first in everything can we go far."

Gu Shaonan raised three fingers. "I will follow Brother Liao for the rest of my life. If Brother Liao tells me to go east, I will never go west."

"Haha, you kid, you're smart!"

Having received the leader's approval, Gu Shaonan smiled even harder. Suddenly, he remembered something: "Brother Liao, your 35th birthday is coming up soon, right?"

Supervisor Liao Yifeng's eyes lit up. "That's right."

Gu Shaonan was on the job again: "I managed to get a coupon for a luxury Western restaurant a couple of days ago. Shall we book that for this year?"

"You kid, you kid!!!"

He was so gratified!

The look Supervisor Liao Yifeng gave Gu Shaonan was full of appreciation and affirmation.

This was simply a heaven-sent, predestined sycophant!

The new project had come down, but the tasks hadn't been assigned yet.

Ling Yue opened TikTok China and searched for "Hefeng Nursing Home." She saw some promotional short videos. After scrolling through them casually, she discovered the core advantages the nursing home wanted to highlight from the short videos.

The people around her suddenly stood up one after another, holding notebooks and pens in their hands, and swarmed toward Conference Room 5.

Ling Yue opened WeChat and scrolled up and down for a moment. She could guarantee that she had not received any notification about a meeting.

But what a coincidence, the people from Group 4 and Group 6 had all left.

What could be the reason for specifically leaving her out? It's so hard to guess.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Gu Shaonan was just about to call out for them to enter when the conference room door was pushed open.
