Chapter 137: Office Politics

rocked the nation. The perpetrators behind these crimes have never been found. There are rumors circulating among the people that they were all orchestrated by members of the Ink Pavilion.The exact nu..."After the last quarter's meeting, your marketing department assured us that you could guarantee an 80% collection rate. But what happened"

"Do you know that if this continues, the company's cash flow will be very tight and could easily run out!"

"Mr. Hu, Ms. Qin just started working three days ago. She's not familiar with these matters yet, sir," Zhang Xiao stood up and explained.

"Is that not clear She sits in this position, she is responsible for this post!" Hu Haiyan interrupted Zhang Xia's words.

If new hires are exempt from responsibility, then with your marketing department changing leads every other day, who will be responsible for the company's sales and collections

But Zhang Xiao spoke again.

"Mr. Hu, hello!" Qin Yuxin interrupted Zhang Xiao's words and then stood up.

"I've also looked at some reports these past few days, and the recovery rate is indeed a bit low. But I guarantee that starting this quarter, the recovery rate will definitely rise to over eighty percent!"

"Who doesn't boast!" Hu Haiyan scoffed, "The three marketing managers before you all boasted like this!"

After finishing his words, he didn't wait for Qin Yuxin to respond and continued speaking.

"Let's not talk about the future for now. I'm here on behalf of the company to officially inform you that all bonuses and commissions for the marketing department members from last quarter have been deducted in full!"

"If the collection amount for this quarter still doesn't reach eighty percent, don't even think about getting a year-end bonus!"

"Mr. Hu, this is not fair!" Zhang Xiaodao shouted.

“The marketing department’s failure to achieve a full collection rate is due to the previous marketing manager signing a large order before she was laid off by the company. She didn't have time to follow up on the payment collection, which consequently lowered the collection rate.”

But the other colleagues in the marketing department have all completed 80% of the collection. Why doesn't the company pay bonuses and commissions!

"Bold of you!" Hu Haiyan retorted angrily, "How dare you speak to me like that Be mindful of your position!"

"I'm telling the truth. If the company thinks there's a problem with me, just fire me!" Zhang Xiaoman responded angrily.

"You!" Hu Haiyan's face darkened: "Do you really think the company wouldn't dare fire you"

"Zhang Xiao, calm down first." Qin Yuxin then looked at Hu Haiyan: "Manager Hu, let me understand this situation before we discuss it!"

"Besides, even if the company really wants to withhold bonuses and commissions, they should hold a meeting to discuss it first, and then officially notify our marketing department in writing, right"

"What do you mean Are you saying I don't have the authority to issue this notice" Hu Haiyan responded coldly.

"You're the head of finance, we're from marketing. What do you think" Qin Yuxin's tone had also turned a few degrees colder.

"Heh heh, very good!" Hu Haiyan snorted coldly: "You, the new marketing manager, are quite tough! You want the company to issue a statement, is that right"

"Just in time, Mr. Xu is back from his business trip, you'll be able to see him right away!"

After finishing, he looked at Zhang Xiao again: “Xu總 asked me to tell you to go to his office right away!”

After finishing his words, he let out another cold snort before turning and walking away.

"He's back so soon" After Hu Haiyan left, Zhang Xia shivered.

"Zhang Xiao, what's wrong" Qin Yuxin noticed something was amiss with her.

"Mr. Qin, I-I don't want to go to his office," Zhang Xia said, her face slightly pale.

"Why" Qin Yuxin asked in confusion.

"Mr. Qin, I just introduced the company to you, there's one thing I haven't had a chance to tell you." Zhang Xiaodeng took a deep breath and continued.

“Our marketing department has had three managers this year already, and the previous three were also women. Actually, their work abilities were quite good, but they were fired by the company for special reasons.”

"What special reason" Qin Yuxin was stunned.

"Hu Haiyan just said that Xu Zong, whose name is Xu Dechao, is the company's general manager. He has been on a business trip this period, so you haven't met him."

He's a lecher, using his connections in Tongzhou to frequently harass female colleagues at the company.

"The company has had several female colleagues who have fallen victim to him. The three managers before you were all fired because they refused his advances."

"And the reason Hu Haiyan dares to be so domineering in the company is because she has his support!"

"Huh" Qin Yuxin was startled again. "Then what about General Manager Pan"

"Mr. Pan also has her own hardships, she's just a professional manager, Hu De-chao didn't take her seriously at all." Zhang Xiao responded.

Ding dong!

Just then, Zhang Xiao's phone rang. As soon as he picked it up and looked, his face changed again.

"I got it!" After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaod took a deep breath and looked at Qin Yuxin: "Xu Dechao asked me to go to his office!"

"Has he harassed you before" Qin Yuxin's brows furrowed slightly.

"Mm!" Zhang Xia nodded. "This has happened twice already. He tried to touch me inappropriately in his office."

"What a jerk!" Qin Yuxin said angrily.

"Okay, go see what he wants first. If he's still being awkward, message me and I'll talk to him!"

"Qin Manager, forget it. Don't go. I can't implicate you. You just came to the company. If you confront him, he definitely won't let it go." Zhang Xiao shook her head.

And, the reason why Hu Haiyan acted that way towards you just now is most likely because she thinks you're too beautiful and worries that Xu De Chao might have feelings for you, thus neglecting her.

"If you provoke her again, she'll definitely get Xu Dexiao to fire you!"

"Don't worry, it's fine!" Qin Yuxin replied.

"You should go first. What if it's a work arrangement, and it wouldn't be appropriate for you not to attend Besides, I also want to see what he's like. Anyway, we'll eventually have to deal with each other."

"Well then," Zhang Xiao nodded slightly.

Then, he turned and left the office.

Meanwhile, on the floor above, in one of the large conference rooms, several men and women were holding a meeting.

If Ling Hao were here, he would recognize at a glance the man sitting in the chief seat with a blissful expression like that of Maitreya Buddha. He is Shen Le, the chairman of the Four Seas Group!

It turns out that the largest shareholder of Shengyan Group is the Zhao family, one of the three major families in Dongzhou!

Since the three major families' incident, Shen Le, following Ling Hao's instructions, gradually incorporated all the high-quality assets under the three families' banners, and this Shengyan Group was one of them.

Today, this is the first time he has come here for a meeting after Shengyan Group's integration.

On one hand, we should listen to the company's business situation. On the other hand, we should learn about the company management team.

Sitting to Shen Le's left was a young woman in her twenties, reporting work to Shen Le while facing the projector.

With exquisite features, an elegant bearing, and clad in a dark grey suit, she appeared sharp and capable. She was none other than Pan Ruoying, the general manager of Shengyan Group.

"Mr. Shen, that's about the current state of the company's operations." After a while, Pan Ruo Ying finished her introduction and respectfully said to Shen Le.

"Well! Not bad." Shen Le nodded slightly.

"Just give a quick rundown of the people in charge of each department again, so we don't run into each other later and not recognize them."

"Okay!" Pan Ruoying respectfully responded again.

Then, information about the company's management team started to appear on the projection screen.o take cover.Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!But, still half a beat slow, his body was sliced open by the sharp blades, blood spurting out like arrows."Don't..."To his despair, just as he hadn't quite stabilized his...
