416: Rainbow after the storm

As he expected, Lao Chen gritted his teeth, seeing that Su Yue was willing to give him the position of Minister.

He knew that Yuantu Investment also required taking sides, and he had to choose a powerful backer.

Clearly, Su Yue was that powerful backer.

Lao Chen took two blank sheets of paper from under the printer and placed them on the table. "I'll write the names for you."

Su Yue was originally worried that he had remembered the names incorrectly, so it was naturally best that Lao Chen was willing to write them out.

In just a few minutes, Lao Chen wrote the names on the blank paper and respectfully placed it in front of Su Yue.

Su Yue narrowed his eyes and looked at the list. "Are you sure these are all based on nepotism?"

He needed to investigate this matter publicly, so he naturally didn't want anyone to be misunderstood by him.

When Lao Chen heard that Su Yue needed him to vouch for it, he vigorously patted his chest. "I couldn't possibly be mistaken."

He was in the personnel department almost every day, and he could recognize those familiar faces at a glance.

Now that the list was in his hand, Su Yue had no need to be polite to these people.

To avoid offending anyone, Su Yue couldn't help but pat Lao Chen on the shoulder. "Come with me and help me with something."

As a Vice President of the company, what he needed to do was put pressure on the people below him, allowing them to hold up a large part of the business.

Before long, Lao Chen followed Su Yue to the personnel department, his face full of awkwardness.

He had just given the list to Su Yue, and now he was brought here by Su Yue, making him feel as if he had been discovered.

Indeed, when the employees inside saw Su Yue and Lao Chen together, they had a bad feeling.

Su Yue pointed to Lao Chen beside him. "Let me introduce you first. This is your future Minister, President Chen."

He gave him face, and now naturally, he needed him to step forward and handle the entire matter.

Lao Chen looked at Su Yue constantly winking at him, his face numb, and slowly walked out.

Without the help of the previous head of the personnel department, they were essentially without backing, and leaving was only a matter of time.

In just a few minutes, Lao Chen announced the list of those to be dismissed.

When those people saw their names on the list, their faces were full of anger. "You're going too far!"

"Exactly! You're not treating us as employees, just firing us like this!"

Su Yue had known they would cause trouble for him, and he walked up to them with a smile.

"I only have one question: Do you think you have the qualifications to enter Yuantu Investment based on your education?"

As the most cutting-edge investment company in the City, the employees inside needed a high level of education.

And among the people with connections present, not a single one met this condition.

Several people exchanged glances, unable to find words to object for a moment.

In just a few seconds, someone in the crowd seemed to find a direction. "Even if we don't have achievements, we've worked hard!"

"That's right! We've been at Yuantu Investment for so long, and you're just kicking us out like this?"

Su Yue looked at the people around him focusing on him, and sneered. "Show me the projects you've completed."

As long as they truly had achievements, Su Yue felt he might be able to keep them.

Regardless, Su Yue only needed to do one thing, and that was to retain talent for Yuantu Investment.

However, when the few of them heard that Su Yue needed their resumes, they looked at each other in dismay.

These few people usually pressured Lao Chen to sign people for them and had no achievements of their own.

Now, Su Yue needed them to produce something, and they had no way to do so.

Su Yue looked at them focusing on him, a smile on his face. "If you can't produce it, please leave."

When the few of them heard that Su Yue wanted them to leave the company, their faces were filled with anger.

However, they couldn't say a word and obediently walked out of the company.

Su Yue snorted. "You want to cause me trouble? You're too naive."

Lao Chen looked at Su Yue dismissing these people without hesitation, his face full of admiration. "I definitely wouldn't have had the heart to dismiss them."

In his opinion, these people were colleagues he had spent time with, and there was a little bit of sentiment involved.

Su Yue heard the sadness in Lao Chen's words and patted his shoulder. "As long as you do well, you won't be dismissed."

In Su Yue's eyes, Lao Chen had always been an honest and decent person, with no reason to do anything crooked.

Lao Chen looked at Su Yue's decision to heavily rely on him, and tears almost flowed down.

He was already considered the most senior employee at Yuantu Investment and had long given up hope of promotion.

No one expected that Su Yue would discover his unusual qualities and specifically promote him to this position.

Su Yue knew that Lao Chen felt he had met his benefactor, and he laughed heartily, patting his shoulder. "I'm going back to the office."

The personnel department was completely handed over to Lao Chen to handle; he had no reason to be responsible for everything himself.

When Lao Chen heard that Su Yue was handing the entire department to him, he nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Without saying much more, Su Yue returned to his office alone.

Just then, Lan Zijun came to Su Yue's office, her face full of confusion. "How many people did you dismiss?"

She had just walked through the personnel department and found that not many people were left inside.

The reason Yuantu Investment had such a scale was entirely due to the people supporting it.

Now, with most of the employees in the personnel department dismissed, Lan Zijun felt no confidence at all.

Su Yue saw Lan Zijun coming to cause him trouble and casually placed the things on the table in front of her. "Take a look."

Lan Zijun looked surprised and picked up the blank paper on the table, finding that it was a list.

Since she had never seen the names on the list before, her brow furrowed slightly. "What does this mean?"

Su Yue saw that Lan Zijun didn't understand the names on the list and took a deep breath. "The people inside are all based on connections."

When she learned that Yuantu Investment actually had so many parasites, her face was filled with anger. "They actually arranged so many people?"

Lan Zijun had known that they would arrange people to come here, but she hadn't expected them to arrange so many.

Su Yue looked at Lan Zijun focusing on him and chuckled. "Only by rectifying the company can we become stronger."

Leaving these parasites in the company would only lead to one possibility: their future theft of confidential information.

To prevent confidential information from appearing on other people's computers, the best way was to have them all leave.

Lan Zijun rubbed her slightly aching temples and sat on the sofa. "Yuantu Investment hasn't been very proactive lately."

As a senior manager, she could clearly see that recent projects were gradually decreasing.

Su Yue learned that Yuantu Investment had encountered a bottleneck recently and pondered for a while. "I think they're too tired and need to rest for a bit."

Yuantu Investment undertook so many projects every day, and it had become normal for the employees inside to work overtime.

How could Lan Zijun not know that her employees had entered a period of fatigue? However, there was simply too much work at the company.

Su Yue saw that Lan Zijun was slightly worried about the future direction and chuckled. "I have a solution."

Su Yue walked over to the computer, looked at the company's recent projects, and found that all projects had been postponed.

Since that was the case, they had no worries and had a perfect opportunity to go out and travel for a bit.

In just a few seconds, Su Yue walked up to Lan Zijun, his face serious. "I have an idea for you."

Lan Zijun understood that Su Yue was her strategist and quickly nodded. "Tell me, what's your idea?"

Su Yue took a deep breath. "The idea is simple: we'll have a team-building event and travel outside for two days."

During these two days, the entire company wouldn't discuss work-related matters, allowing everyone to rest properly.

Of course, employees who didn't want to go on the team-building trip also had the opportunity to go home and rest for a few days.

Anyway, their goal was simply to allow the employees to relax, as this was the only way to improve the company's efficiency.

Lan Zijun listened to Su Yue wanting to take two days off and pondered for a while. "Sharpening the axe doesn't delay the chopping; we'll go with your idea then."

She had no better solution and couldn't stand to see it any longer.

Su Yue nodded slightly and chuckled. "Then you should quickly draft the list now, and I'll contact the hotel people."

Although Liu Long and the others were partners, they had long been bought over by Yuantu Investment.

This team-building trip would give them a sense of belonging.

The profits from the three hotels would all go to Yuantu Investment in the future, which was equivalent to finding the best investment project for them.

When Liu Long and the others learned that Yuantu Investment wanted to go on a team-building trip, they immediately came to Yuantu Investment.

The three hotels were spread across different locations, so no matter where they went for team building, they could stay in their own hotel.

Su Yue looked at Liu Long's excited face and couldn't help but walk up to him. "Keep our past matters confidential for now."

When Liu Long heard that Su Yue didn't want to disclose their team-building trip, his face was full of confusion. "Do you want to inspect the hotels?"

It just so happened that they needed to go to that place, so it was a good opportunity to inspect the local hotel branches.

The hotel branches were all new franchises, and almost all franchisors had been audited.

If the same trouble occurred again, Su Yue believed their hotels would need a complete overhaul.

In just a few minutes, Lan Zijun sent the notification to every employee's phone.

When Lao Chen saw the team-building information, he immediately put the matter of those people leaving behind him.

Yuantu Investment treated them like family; how could they not do things for their family?

Unconsciously, a day had passed.

To save the employees time, those on the list had dedicated cars for pickup and drop-off.

Su Yue originally thought Lan Zijun wouldn't make such a grand gesture, but no one expected Lan Zijun to go all out like this.

This trip would likely cost them a lot of money.

When Lan Zijun saw Su Yue staring at her with a strange look, she couldn't help but say to Su Yue, "If we're going to play, let's play properly."

Su Yue heard Lan Zijun say this and nodded slightly. "With a Boss like this, how could it not prosper?"

In just half an hour, everyone arrived at the Airport.

This time, although they didn't charter a plane, the entire flight was filled with their employees.

Su Yue and Lan Zijun arranged the employees in their respective seats, while they returned to the first class cabin.

Su Yue sat comfortably inside and looked outside. "It's been a long time since I've had a good rest."

Lan Zijun knew that Su Yue had been very busy recently, after all, he had gained control of three hotels.

Moreover, Yuantu Investment's recent property management company and security group were also acquired by Su Yue, which was equivalent to building an empire.

It was just that Su Yue lacked ambition, otherwise, he could have already left Yuantu Investment and started his own business.

Lan Zijun looked at Su Yue sitting beside her, his face relaxed, and slowly closed her eyes.

Before long, the plane had arrived at its destination.

Perhaps it was because they were the Boss, many employees were a little scared when they saw the two of them.

Su Yue knew that they wouldn't have fun with him around, so he pulled Lan Zijun to the side.

Lan Zijun didn't say anything and followed Su Yue to the outskirts of the Airport.

Since they were the main organizers this time, the two of them simply gave the address to the employees and let them explore on their own.

When the employees learned that they could play here, their faces were filled with excitement, and they left in groups of three to five.

Lan Zijun and Su Yue, on the other hand, went to the reserved hotel to check out the hotel's service.

Since the hotel employees had met Liu Long, Su Yue didn't have Liu Long follow them this time.

In just a few minutes, Su Yue and Lan Zijun arrived at the hotel entrance at the same time.

The greeter didn't look down on them for taking a taxi and approached their car, leading them inside.

There were service staff standing by throughout, providing the best service.

Su Yue saw that their service attitude was so good and called Liu Long, asking them to come to the hotel as soon as possible.

When Liu Long heard Su Yue's cheerful voice, he finally felt relieved, and a few people walked into the hotel.

As Su Yue had initially judged, as soon as the few of them arrived at the hotel entrance, someone immediately recognized their identities.

In just a few minutes, the General Manager from upstairs personally came down to greet them and led them to the lobby.

Liu Long saw Su Yue standing at the front desk and quickly brought the General Manager to Su Yue. "These two are the company's Boss."

The General Manager looked at the two people in front of him with surprise, and cold sweat couldn't stop dripping down.

If it weren't for Liu Long's introduction, he admitted that he wouldn't have recognized Su Yue's identity at all.

Fortunately, their service attitude had always been very good, and Su Yue and his group didn't find any faults.

Otherwise, after this trip, he, the General Manager, would have definitely reached the end of his career.
