Chapter 526

Zhang Linlin today wore a white suit, paired with black high-heeled shoes, giving off a somewhat mature and intellectual woman's vibe.

However, after getting into Chen Yang's car, she began to feel nervous again.

"Chen Yang, do you think I can do it?"

Chen Yang encouraged her, saying: "You just need to report the key points of what's happening in the company to me, and here you are a qualified vice president."

Zhang Linlin said with some worry: "I'm afraid those people will gossip, and if it gets back to your ex-wife's ears, that would be troublesome."

Chen Yang said with a smile: "You don't need to worry about this at all, because you have never been a threat to her."

Zhang Linlin, hearing this, gave an embarrassed laugh. After a moment, she asked Chen Yang: "What about Tang Miaomiao? Does she have the qualifications?"

Chen Yang looked at Zhang Linlin, somewhat puzzled, and said: "You two haven't fallen out yet?"

Zhang Linlin said helplessly: "She doesn't know what kind of luck she had, and overnight she became the client manager of the credit department at Qingshui Bank. When I was doing business development at Qinghe Building, her attitude toward me was still polite. Now that she's back working independently, for a 50,000 yuan loan, I have to treat her to food and drinks, I have to treat her to beauty care, and in the end she still put me on hold for a week."

"Let me tell you, there have been several times when I wanted to just strangle her to death on the massage bed."

Chen Yang wasn't surprised that Tang Miaomiao could climb so quickly. That woman is deep‑scheming; to rise she can use any means. Perhaps she even slept with someone who holds real power in the bank.

"Zhang Linlin, once you take the vice‑president seat, next time it will be her who comes begging you. Then you can make her spit out all the money you spent on her."

"That's great!" Zhang Linlin excitedly waved her fist, wishing she could immediately smash all the grievances she had suffered onto Tang Miaomiao's face.

During the conversation, Commonfolk Meat Industry Co., Ltd also arrived. This time, Chunye did not block the entrance; he simply gave Chen Yang a salute and opened the company gate.

After the new factory building of Commonfolk Meat Industry Co., Ltd was completed, the wall connecting the old factories was torn down. Currently the company's total area is twice what it used to be. The number of employees has increased from over a hundred to over six hundred, multiplying several times.

After Chen Yang parked the car, he did not go to find Song Yajun, but instead went straight to the company's broadcast room and ordered the announcer to use the loudspeaker to summon all management to the meeting room for a meeting.

After delivering the order, Chen Yang brought Zhang Linlin to the meeting room to wait.

About ten minutes later, many employees in management uniforms trickled into the meeting room. Chen Yang took a rough look; most were longtime company employees, while only a portion were young cadres recruited directly from outside into management.

As General Manager, Song Yajun only arrived late, after the meeting room was nearly full. When he saw Zhang Linlin sitting beside Chen Yang, he was slightly startled, then quickly walked over and sat down beside Chen Yang.

"Boss, I specially arranged for someone to send out a detailed notice about the Welfare Housing; everyone already understands the situation clearly. I think we should let the production department's management go back first, so as not to delay the production schedule."

Chen Yang glanced at Song Yajun indifferently and said: "Old Song, are you trying to tell me how to do my job?"

Song Yajun hadn't seen Chen Yang with such a stern expression in a long time; suddenly he felt an ominous premonition. "Boss, I'm just making a suggestion, with no other intention."

"No other intention is best!" Chen Yang stopped paying attention to Song Yajun, after scanning the meeting room, he continued: "I've been in charge of the company for over two years. In these two years, haven't I been generous to you all? I raised your wages from 400 yuan to 1,200 yuan, and you enjoy the best welfare benefits in Qingshui City."

"What I didn't expect is that someone, taking advantage of my absence, tried to secretly sell the company. Old Song, do you think such a person still deserves to stay in the company?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yajun broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He stammered to Chen Yang: "Boss, you've misunderstood. I merely received a guest from Modu, and I had no intention of selling the company."

Chen Yang ignored him and directly addressed the other management present: "Does anyone here, like General Manager Song, feel wronged working under me? If so, you can also step forward and share your thoughts."

As soon as he finished speaking, a manager who had a close relationship with Song Yajun immediately stood up.

"Boss, our company's sausage is the best in all of Dongjiangsheng, yet we sell it all at low prices to Commonfolk Trading Company, letting them make money—this is unfair!"

Chen Yang smiled and looked at the other party, saying: "Manager Xu, when I first took over the company, you were also a member of the sales department. Why didn't you stem the tide and rescue the company from danger, yet you owe so much debt outside?"

Sales Department Manager Xu Dawei, having been hit where it hurts by Chen Yang, blushed and said: "Back then our products weren't as good as now; it's normal that they wouldn't sell!"

Chen Yang snorted coldly: "Manager Xu, don't forget, I'm also from Qingshui City. I still remember that your products' market share in Qingshui City used to be quite high. It's precisely because your sales department colluded with some self-serving individuals, deliberately disparaging the company's products and selling them at low prices, that you drove the company to a dead end."

"How come, in just over two years, Manager Xu has forgotten everything completely?"

Xu Dawei immediately defended himself: "Boss, back then I was just an ordinary clerk in the sales section, and I didn't participate in their wrongdoing!"

Chen Yang said calmly: "You didn't participate in the crime because your position wasn't high enough to enter their circle. Now you are the company's sales manager; once the company's products are fully opened to the market, those unhealthy practices from outside will blow in. By then, are you sure you can resist the temptation?"

Xu Dawei said solemnly: "I, Xu Dawei, swear here that once the market opens, I will absolutely not take even a cent more from the company!"

"Good!" Chen Yang clapped his hands firmly, then announced on the spot: "Starting today, Manager Xu is transferred to the Qingshui City branch of Laobaixing Agricultural Products Trading Company as sales department manager. I give you one year to expand the market share of Laobaixing sausages in other provinces, with the price set by you."

"After one year, if the total profit from the Laobaixing sausages you handle exceeds that of Laobaixing Agricultural Products Trading Company, then I will let Laobaixing Meat Industry Limited operate independently."

Upon hearing that he would be transferred to Laobaixing Agricultural Products Trading Company and have to develop markets in other provinces, Xu Dawei was dumbfounded on the spot.

"Boss, I'm not familiar with business in other provinces; you should find someone else to go!"

Chen Yang said coldly: "The business in Dongjiangsheng has already been fully developed by Laobaixing Agricultural Products Trading Company. If you don't go to other provinces to expand the business, are you trying to ruin the market I've painstakingly built?"

"If that's the case, you can resign. My company doesn't need deadweights that drag us down!"
