Chapter 247: Making a Fuss

After convincing Wan Ling, Yang Qing went out laughing happily, he was excited about revenge.

He has always had a deformed desire for revenge; taking revenge on those who treated him badly makes him very excited.

He just hides it well normally, so people don't think he's a pervert.

Moreover, he has always taken the old schemer as his guiding ideology, making his true nature even more unknown.

This time, he came up with a review standard because of others' looks and mocking smiles.

Moreover, it's done through Wan Ling; he opens his mouth, and Wan Ling will arrange it.

As soon as Yang Qing left, the discussion among Yao Yongsheng and the others grew louder.

"Tch, what nonsense, a wife gives birth and rests this long, just came over, touched her butt and ran off."

"If it were me, I'd only take half a month of maternity leave."

"We young people should naturally prioritize important matters."

"Right, right, right..."

"Yong Ge's awareness..."

Thumbs up...

A bunch of flattery came over, making Yao Yongsheng feel very pleased.

Wan Ling, who originally still felt a bit reluctant, walked over wanting to talk to them and do some ideological work, but she didn't expect to hear these words.

Her reluctance vanished instantly, and anger began to rise in her heart.

How dare you slander my brother-in-law, you bunch of little chili chickens; if I don't kill you all, I'm not a Wan.

"Cough cough..."

"Alright, you've pretty much finished learning."

"Next, I'll talk about our project team's system."

"Every newcomer has a one-month training period; after training is completed, they need to undergo a practical assessment."

"Within two months, those who can complete the practical assessment stay; those who can't, go back where they came from."

The people who were just happily daydreaming fell silent instantly.

They all stared blankly at Wan Ling.

The senior staff won't assign you anything; you're on your own, a bunch of petty greens.

Yao Yongsheng was the first to object.

"Manager Wan, we were sent over by the subdistrict."

"What does this assessment mean?"

Wan Ling said matter-of-factly.

"It's just an assessment; what's the problem?"

Someone objected.

"What right do you have to assess us? We're from the subdistrict; you have no authority over us."

Wan Ling chuckled.

"Sorry, I actually can manage you."

"We are a self-funded project, self-sustaining, not relying on finances, so we only accept the subdistrict's suggestions and recommendations, not placements."

"Understood?"

"If you want to stay here, you must follow our rules."

"If anyone feels incapable, just go back and let someone capable take your place."

"I believe many people want to join our project team."

Everyone fell silent instantly.

"Damn, I didn't expect Wan Ling to dare do this."

"If they fail the assessment, wouldn't they have wasted their effort going through connections for nothing?"

Yao Yongsheng had a grim face; surely their voices were too loud just now, Wan Ling heard them, so she did this on purpose.

But even though they knew she did it on purpose, they couldn't do anything.

"They're the local tyrant here; what they say goes."

"Good, good, this way our report has more material; forming cliques, trying to monopolize the project, throwing your weight around—see how long you can strut, I'll make you amount to nothing."

His mind was full of twists and turns, yet he couldn't stop Wan Ling's deliberate mischief.

Wan Ling saw they delayed taking a stance, and impatiently said.

"Do it or not; if not, go back and let the original people return."

"Our project team's task is heavy; don't delay our work."

"Heavy task? You all just train every day and then idle around doing nothing."

"But having come to this point, they have no choice but to comply; this is called a wise man not suffering immediate loss."

The senior staff felt relieved hearing Wan Ling's words.

Wan Ling is doing this to vent for those old-timers; whoever it is, after putting in effort to achieve results, they wouldn't want someone to come along midway and steal their achievements.

Faced with the order, they had no choice but to step aside; now Wan Ling targeting these people is essentially speaking up for their injustice.

Yao Yongsheng and the others had no choice but to accept this challenge.

There's no way; if they don't agree, they must leave now; if they agree, there's still a glimmer of hope.

"A gentleman's revenge can wait ten years; wait until they gain a foothold, then settle accounts with Wan Ling."

"Alright, we agree."

Wan Ling flung them a task list, then turned and left.

She never imagined these people would be so disgusting; before, she had still supported them quite a bit.

Might as well have fed her sincerity to the dogs.

After Yao Yongsheng and his group left, applause broke out in the office.

"Wan Zong, we wrongly blamed you."

"Wan Zong, awesome."

"Wan Zong, you're the one who can do it—open and aboveboard, with reason and evidence."

"We've long found these people unpleasant."

………

A group began praising her, and Wan Ling only then realized that the people in their group actually didn't like those people at all.

How foolish—she used to think that cultivating talent for the Jiedao was a good thing.

It turned out she had been acting on her own.

Wan Ling gave an embarrassed smile and waved her hand.

"Our project team is official, so of course we need a strict selection system."

"Otherwise, if anyone just shoved people in and we took them regardless of ability, how could we work?"

She steadied herself, then Wan Ling hurried back to her seat and began to improve the system.

She needed to establish facts; otherwise, who knows what trouble some people might stir up.

She, too, had worked in the Jiedao for a long time, so she still knew some things.

She had to shut some people up.

By the time work ended, the freshly baked project team selection system charter was hung on the office wall.

Moreover, it was a system unanimously agreed upon by the veteran staff.

On the other side.

Yang Qing spent a day inspecting all their current projects.

The first building of Crystal Element Residential Complex had already been built up to one floor.

Moreover, it was very popular; when he visited, many people still came to look at the units.

They had all paid money and cared deeply about their own homes.

If you dare to give them a half‑finished building or a shoddy tofu‑dregs project, they'll dare to beat you to death.

Salespeople in this era are awesome, even daring to hit people—but only if what you sell is fine; if you sell defective goods, others will dare to break your legs.

He also revisited the properties he had previously rented out; overall, everyone's experience was still not bad.

The next day, when Yang Qing returned to the office, he immediately saw the new system on the wall.

Yang Qing didn't expect Wan Ling to have this trick up her sleeve.

When Yao Yongsheng came over, he also saw the system on the wall.

Seeing the dense list of names above, they instantly realized that the complaint they had just filed might be useless again.

Once the project team members had gathered, the person on duty had recorded the attendance, Yao Yongsheng and his group hurriedly ran off.

They intended to intercept the Jiedao director who was coming to ask Wan Ling for an explanation.

But how could things possibly go as they wished?

Not long after they left, several Jiedao directors arrived, pushing the door open and entering the office.

As soon as they arrived, they pointed their spears at Wan Ling and launched into questioning.

Director One: "Wan Ling, I heard you've come up with some new review standard? Do the people we assign still have to go through your review, right?"

Director Two: "Wan Ling, are you trying to stand above our Jiedao?"

Director Three: "Exactly, are you trying to run a one‑man show?"

………

………

Facing a group of directors who had come to accuse her, Wan Ling showed no fear.

Everyone, you said these are all here to study, didn't you?

If we don't conduct an audit, how can we confirm their learning status?

Also, everyone's training fees—you still haven't paid them; when will we settle the bill?
