15: Familiar voice, clues appear!
Customer trust has been gained, which means Su Yue has achieved his minimum target.
He didn't believe Lan Zijun wouldn't pay after receiving his warning; he wasn't worried about this at all.
And with the money, Su Yue could upgrade his Intelligence Outpost and obtain more detailed information.
Furthermore, upgrading the Intelligence Outpost would definitely lead to equipment updates.
Plus, he could also recruit operatives and build his own influence...
His own safety would naturally have a certain guarantee.
Ultimately, although Lan Zijun and Su Yue still had no direct interaction at the moment, their fates were actually already tied together.
Lan Zijun's safety, one could say, was in Su Yue's hands. And Su Yue's safety depended on Lan Zijun's funds.
The more funds he received, the more secure Su Yue would be!
To maximize his interests, the next thing he needed to do was to try his best to find the person attempting to harm Lan Zijun.
It's just, how should he find them?
Su Yue was just about to think when he suddenly saw the company's front desk lady rush in, pushing the door open excitedly. Before she could even catch her breath, she breathlessly said to the colleagues in the office, "Hurry up and gather, General Manager Qian is here and wants to speak to us!"
"General Manager Qian?"
The colleagues had puzzled looks, unsure who was being referred to.
"President Lan's fiancé, Qian Boda!"
The front desk lady looked helpless and urged everyone, "Hurry up, he'll be unhappy if you're late."
"Oh dear—"
"Seriously, what's he here for!"
"Annoying!"
"What right does he have to lecture us?"
The complaining colleagues reluctantly put down their various tasks, their faces expressing 'wanting to die', and quickly walked out of the office towards the company reception hall.
Su Yue also withdrew his thoughts.
Qian Boda?
He had heard the name of this Young Master Qian, Lan Zijun's fiancé, countless times, but he had never met him.
This was partly due to coincidence and partly because Qian Boda generally didn't come to the department offices. He would usually go directly to see Lan Zijun.
But for some reason today, Qian Boda didn't go to see Lan Zijun but instead directly notified the front desk, putting on the air of a Boss and preparing to give a lecture!
Did he feel that since his wedding date with Lan Zijun was approaching, he was no longer an outsider?
Well, this had absolutely nothing to do with him. Whether the future of Yuantu Company was in the hands of Lan Zijun or Qian Boda was not something Su Yue could interfere with.
Shaking his head slightly, Su Yue followed his colleagues. When they arrived at the reception hall, colleagues from all departments of the company had come out, forming several horizontal rows, all looking towards the main entrance.
They saw a young man standing at the main entrance with an arrogant expression.
He wore a slim-fit black suit, Ferragamo calfskin shoes, his hair was slicked back with gel, and combined with a not unpleasant face, Qian Boda's attire had a strong business feel.
But the silver earring on his earlobe instantly made him stand out from the business atmosphere, appearing somewhat cynical.
Coming to the front of the formation, Qian Boda stopped, scanned everyone from left to right, his lips parted, and an unfriendly tone flowed out:
"Why are you so slow to gather?"
"Every single one of you is so listless, dragging your feet, how can you serve customers like this!"
Qian Boda's eyebrows furrowed, his eyes widened, and he sternly reprimanded all the employees.
He completely disregarded the fact that the company's actual President, Lan Zijun, was standing behind him.
Looking every bit like a master, Qian Boda's tone intensified:
"I'm telling you, from now on, when I tell you to gather, you gather immediately!"
"If you keep dragging your feet like this, pack your things and leave!"
Not far away, Lan Zijun hadn't had time to return to her office, but she didn't come closer. Instead, she stood far off, watching her fiancé reprimand the employees with a cold eye.
It wasn't that Lan Zijun feared Qian Boda and dared not speak, but rather that their wedding date was approaching, and in the future, Yuantu Investment Company would be considered their joint property as a couple.
In other words, Qian Boda would also become another Boss of Yuantu Investment Company.
Since he was a Boss, there was naturally no problem with him lecturing the employees.
Furthermore, although Qian Boda was already engaged to Lan Zijun and their wedding was imminent.
But the two had no affection for each other whatsoever, nor any physical intimacy; they were completely forced together for the sake of a family marriage alliance.
Lan Zijun didn't want to interact much with Qian Boda.
It was precisely because of this that Lan Zijun chose to remain silent while her fiancé lectured.
As for the employees standing opposite, on the surface, they all had a deferential attitude, but in reality, they were cursing Qian Boda endlessly in their hearts!
The company was not built by his hands, nor had he made any significant contributions to it.
But relying on his status as Lan Zijun's fiancé, he would blindly direct things in the company, formulating some baffling strategies that left the employees struggling to cope.
And while everyone could tolerate this, what angered and disgusted them the most was his condescending and dismissive attitude towards everything.
This Qian Boda seemed to think he was like a savior, bestowing favors upon all the company's employees.
He believed that everyone should submit to his feet and be subservient to him.
Qian Boda had been arrogant and overbearing since childhood; this condescending arrogance was deeply rooted in his bones and could not be changed.
After reprimanding all the employees, Qian Boda began calling out individuals by name.
"Sales Department, bring me your summarized sales performance from last month."
"Here it is, please take a look."
The head of the Sales Department, walking on thin ice, nervously handed the sales report to Qian Boda.
The latter flipped through it at an extremely fast pace, his eyes lingering for a moment on the summarized data on the last page.
After about 5 seconds, he released his hand, and the sales report fluttered directly to the ground.
The scene before them sent a shock through everyone.
Before the head of the Sales Department could speak, Qian Boda's scathing accusations immediately followed.
"With sales data this terrible, how can you still have the nerve to stand here?"
"The company pays you, and you turn sales into this mess. Ask yourselves, are you worthy of the company's investment in you?"
"And the Market Research Department, can you use your brains a bit more when you do things?"
"The company's business volume not meeting expectations is precisely because your market research is insufficient!"
"Logistics Department..."
In front of all the company's staff, Qian Boda gave no face to anyone, completely negating everything everyone had done.
The reality was that last month was the low season for sales in the entire industry.
But Qian Boda didn't care about any of this; in his view, a decline in sales was unforgivable!
Everyone clenched their fists tightly, their fingernails pressing into their palms, causing pain.
Facing the unreasonable Qian Boda, the heads of the departments endured and endured, but ultimately lacked the courage to refute him.
Everyone understood that if they refuted him, more severe consequences would await them.
There's an old saying that goes: He who eats the devil's bread must do the devil's work.
If it weren't for making a living with a few coins, who could tolerate this anger?
Forget it, forget it, what can people like us do?
They could only lower their heads.
Only one person held his head high, his gaze fixed intently on Qian Boda.
It was Su Yue!
And the reason he held his head up was not due to defiance.
But, just moments ago, he suddenly realized that Qian Boda's voice was very familiar.
He had heard it before!
