Chapter 153: The dam collapsed due to an ant hole
Chapter 153: The dam collapsed due to an ant hole
Yi Lei knew Fu Ziyan's purpose when Meng Tiao expressed Fu Ziyan's intention and made an appointment to meet him on Tuesday.
At this moment, he met Fu Ziyan's clear eyes and smiled bitterly, "I was indeed careless this time. I put all my attention on the French side and didn't expect that they would be 'stolen'. This led to a big oversight in Hong Kong."
Fu Ziyan smiled. "Although it was an unintentional mistake by President Yi, it also exposed problems in the company's management. I think we should take this opportunity to make corrections."
As she spoke, she handed the information in her hand to Yi Lei. "This is the information I sent my men to investigate. Vice President Yang is indeed loyal and dedicated to the company, but he lacks the ability. He can manage a small department, but he cannot coordinate and manage the overall work of the company. The position of Vice President should be replaced. In addition, I think the company should establish a 'store supervisor' position. What do you think, President Yi?"
Yi Lei nodded. "Ms. Fu is right. It would be best if Vice President Yang returns to the logistics and procurement department to take charge of related work. The 'store supervision' you mentioned will be temporarily handled by someone assigned by the sales department."
Fu Ziyan didn't comment on this and continued, "Besides that, the Human Resources Department also needs to be reorganized. The personnel transfer documents show that Chen Yaozu, the team leader of Group A in the first workshop, was transferred within and outside the company. When he took over the French branch, he was unexpectedly promoted to workshop production supervisor while his uncle was acting as deputy factory director."
Her smile didn't reach her eyes, and she spoke at a steady pace. "During the time Chen Yaozu was managing Group A, he certainly didn't make any mistakes, but that doesn't mean he's made any contributions. In comparison, Wang Yizhi, the leader of Group C, may not be very old, but during his time managing Group C, Group C had the highest pass rate and the lowest scrap rate in the entire factory. He's more suitable for a promotion than Chen Yaozu."
Yi Lei frowned slightly. Because he was on a business trip, the personnel transfer was recently approved by Vice President Yang. If Miss Fu hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have known about it.
"A company is not just a society of personal relationships. No matter how dedicated the veterans are, we are growing stronger step by step, and talent is the most important. I know Uncle Yi has been busy with the French branch recently, but the foundation of the headquarters cannot have any loopholes. A thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole. What do you think?" Fu Ziyan smiled lightly, and her tone returned to the relaxed and casual tone of chatting with her elders.
When you hit someone with a stick, you get a date. This is exactly what she is talking about.
Yi Lei's face was serious. He knew what Fu Ziyan meant. She was not only going to hold people accountable for the incident of "the clerk was bribed and treated customers rudely", but was also targeting the management.
But he had no way to refute it, because what Fu Ziyan said was correct and there must be no problems with the company's management.
Yi Huan Toy Company has developed too fast in recent years. The veteran brothers who followed him to conquer the world in the past can no longer keep up with the company's current level. He must make a decision and hire a "management" that can keep up with the company's development speed.
Yi Lei sighed inwardly and spoke with a decisive tone, "Ms. Fu is right. Things are getting back on track in France. For the next period of time, I will stay in Hong Kong to handle the company's internal affairs."
Fu Ziyan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Yi. I hope Yi Huan Toy Company will continue to grow. Although I have to be busy with school, if you need anything, my team is always available to help you."
Yi Lei said seriously, "Don't worry, Ms. Fu. I will complete the internal rectification of the company before the end of the year."
"Okay, then I'll just wait for the dividends." Fu Ziyan smiled and took off the coat hanging on the sofa, then stood up and said goodbye. "I have other things to do, so I won't treat Mr. Yi to dinner."
Yi Lei walked Fu Ziyan to the elevator and said, "Goodbye, Miss Fu."
Fu Ziyan smiled, "Boss Yi, please stay."
Yi Lei watched Fu Ziyan enter the elevator and leave, then turned and told his secretary, "Go to the Human Resources Department and get the company's employee files, as well as the recent personnel change documents."
The secretary's eyelids twitched slightly, thinking that the boss was going to make a big move.
"You guys work overtime tonight and have capable employees from each department transcribe the information individually. Also, tell the HR director to come see me in the office tomorrow morning."
"Inform the company's top management to set aside time for a high-level meeting tomorrow..."
"Yes, boss."

Fu Ziyan didn't know that Yi Lei had been working overtime with the secretariat after she left. At that time, she was sitting in a newly opened restaurant in Kowloon with Gu An Ning and a few close friends.
Open the window and you can see the coastline in the distance, and look to the other side to see the charming night view with bright lights.
With delicious food, beautiful views and delicious wine, it’s no wonder this restaurant has been so popular recently.
"Yan Yan, you are such a busy person. If we hadn't pestered you, you wouldn't have planned to come, right?" Xi Qingqing arrived the latest, but that didn't stop her from teasing Fu Ziyan as soon as she entered the door.
Fu Ziyan rolled up her sleeves and said quietly, "Yeah, you don't know how busy I am. If you hadn't been nagging me to come out, I would probably be studying or looking at documents at home after dinner. And now, the one who's the most annoying guy actually dares to be late."
Gu An Ning followed Fu Ziyan's steps and teased, "That's right, Qingqing is the one who pushes things the most, but she ends up being the last to arrive!"
Xi Qingqing looked up and down, but didn't meet Fu Ziyan's eyes. He smiled and changed the subject, "This restaurant is really delicious. You will definitely like it, Miss."
Fu Ziyan snorted softly, "If it doesn't suit my taste, you can go to the Student Union and work as a long-term worker for me tomorrow."
"As you wish, my lady!" Xi Qingqing pretended to take off her hat and continued to negotiate. "If it suits your taste, how about giving me another Jinhua ham?"
As soon as Fu Ziyan came back from the mainland, she gave each of her friends a gift, including Jinhua ham, beautiful jade and cloisonné ornaments. Although there were not many things, her friends liked them very much.
Xi Qingqing is obviously one of them. From what she said, it seems that she likes Jinhua ham very much.
Fu Ziyan smiled at her and said, "Okay." She bought thirty of them. Although she gave most of them away, there were still several left at home. If Xi Qingqing wanted them, she would just give them to him.
Gu An sat quietly watching the fun, and was puzzled when he heard the words, "Such a big ham, is it not enough for you to eat?" Xi Qingqing is not such a greedy person.
"I kept the one that Yanyan gave me last time at Xi's house, but now I have moved out." Xi Qingqing stuffed an orange slice into his mouth, swallowed it, and then began to explain.
Xi Qingqing spoke lightly.
But it surprised all the young ladies in the room, and when they looked at Xi Qingqing again, their eyes became much gentler.
Having grown up in wealthy families, they'd heard a lot of gossip. When Xi Qingqing suddenly moved into the mansion, everyone thought of the same thing and couldn't help but feel pity for her.
Xi Qingqing chuckled, "Hey, don't be surprised, it's nothing. My dad got a new girlfriend, and she came into the house pregnant. There's been a lot of noise at home all day long, and I didn't want to be the one affected, so I just moved out. I'm graduating from high school soon anyway and going abroad, so I might as well get used to living alone sooner rather than later."
She is very open-minded and believes that sometimes taking a step back is the right answer.
There was silence.
As expected of shipping king Xisen, he lives up to his reputation as a romantic man.
Gu An Ning sighed, "Then your dad's girlfriend is really unlucky. She almost caught the last bus."
On October 7 this year, Hong Kong abolished the legality of taking concubines and no longer allowed polygamy.
Of course, the legal provisions are just that. The wealthy class who want to take concubines can still do so as "girlfriends". The law does not affect their ability to have concubines left and right, but they just do not have legal status.
Xi Qingqing laughed, "Ningning, you are absolutely right!"
A few people were chatting and laughing while the waiter brought dishes into the private room one by one.
The taste is delicate, the aroma of the pot is strong, the delicious taste explodes on the tip of the tongue, and every bite is a feast for the taste buds.
Fu Ziyan's eyes lit up, and her first thought was to hire a chef to work at the Fu residence. She thought so and did it, asking the waiter to pass on the message to the head chef, and offering a super high salary of 6,000 yuan a month.
At that time, the average salary level in Hong Kong was about HK$1500 per month. Beef sold for HK$11 per kilogram, so HK$6,000 a month was indeed an extremely high salary.
But even so, the chef still declined.
Fu Ziyan felt a little regretful.
Soon, the head chef personally brought a plate of fruit and came to the private room to see Fu Ziyan. He smiled before he spoke, "Miss Fu, I am grateful for your appreciation. However, I promised my father that I would run the restaurant successfully with my own skills, so I cannot serve you as a private chef. However, as long as you come to the restaurant, I will always cook dishes specially for you."
As soon as Fu Ziyan saw the chef, the regret that had just arisen in her heart disappeared without a trace.
There is no other reason.
This chef is a woman.
She looks to be no more than 20 years old, with a full forehead and rosy cheeks. Even her chef's uniform cannot hide the free spirit in her. Her eyes reveal the joy of having her cooking skills appreciated and her pure love for cooking.
Fu Ziyan also smiled. "Your cooking is really good. I like it very much. I wish you can realize your dream soon. If you want to raise funds, I would be happy to invest."
"Thank you, Miss Fu." The chef's eyes were filled with gratitude. This was Miss Fu's real promise.
After the chef left, "Leather King" Xi Qingqing came online again.
She winked at Fu Ziyan, cleared her throat, and made her voice soft and charming. "Sir, why are you being so sympathetic again? Is it because I am not good enough?"
Xi Qingqing hugged Fu Ziyan's arm and continued, "Sir, please speak!"
"My poor concubine thinks of you every day, but you have no place for me in your heart. Sir, how can I accept this?"
Gu An Ning had collapsed on the sofa with laughter, and her eyes were full of anticipation as she looked at Xi Qingqing, with a look that said, "Don't stop, keep going."
Not only Gu An Ning, but the other young sisters also had the same look of watching the fun.
Fu Ziyan: ...
She stroked her brows and smiled helplessly, "Qingqing, if you keep yelling, I'll have to receive another love letter from Su Tunan."
The whole room burst into laughter~
Perhaps Xi Qingqing's repeated calls of "sir" overwhelmed Fu Ziyan's brain, and even after returning home, the phrase kept flashing and echoing in her mind.
After leaving the company for a while, Fu Qiyuan has been very busy these days, and overtime is the norm.
He and Fu Ziyan arrived home at the same time.
As soon as he entered the door, Fu Qiyuan saw Ti Ti with a strange expression on her face, pursing her lips and shaking her head.
Fu Qiyuan frowned, "Titi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Ah, no, no, I was just shaking it for fun."
Fu Qiyuan was silent. It was indeed difficult to understand the thoughts of adolescent girls.
He skipped over it and sat down on the sofa across from his daughter. He said gently, "Yi Huan Toy Company has had some problems recently. Has Ti Ti dealt with them?"
Fu Ziyan was not surprised that her father mentioned this. After all, she was still young. Although the several industries he invested in were left to her to manage, her father still kept an eye on the situation, both to prevent her from suffering losses and to teach her in real time.
Fu Ziyan put down the spoon, sat up straight, and told her father in detail how she handled it. "I checked first..."
After listening to this, Fu Qiyuan smiled and praised, "Titi is great. You handled it very well this time. Dad is proud of you. But there are some areas where you can do better, such as..."
Fu Ziyan listened carefully, her eyes bright. "So there are all these angles! I understand, Dad. I will definitely handle it better next time."
"Of course, our Ti Ti will get better and better," Fu Qiyuan gently encouraged his daughter, and then continued to remind her, "There is an education donation event at Xiangjiang University this weekend."
Fu Ziyan curled her lips, "Then I'm going to take a look. Dad, are you coming?"
"I have arranged for a human resources director to attend. Titti, do you need daddy to accompany you?" Fu Qiyuan smiled gently, as if as long as his daughter said "need", he would make time to accompany her.
"Of course—" Fu Ziyan dragged out the last syllable, winking mischievously, her voice sweet but filled with determination, "I'll go by myself. I'm a big kid now!"
Going to this event with her father would certainly attract everyone's attention, but she is a young eagle learning to spread her wings and fly, and she must try to fly independently.
She has the confidence and the courage.
Fu Qiyuan reached out and gently stroked the ends of his daughter's hair. "Come on, Mr. Fu."
Fu Ziyan felt as if her father had switched her to endurance mode, and she was instantly filled with energy.
She raised her chin slightly and looked at him with disdain.
Fu Qiyuan seemed to vaguely see his past self. He smiled slightly and looked at his watch. "I still have to go to the study to look at some documents. Ti Ti, do you want to come to Dad's study to do your homework with me, or do you want to stay in your own study?"
Fu Ziyan, who was still immersed in her domineering CEO persona, was stunned when she heard this.
Oops, she forgot about homework!
Fu Ziyan quickly retracted her slightly raised chin, and her good student aura returned. "I'll go to my study to write."
Damn it! Why does she, the outstanding future CEO, have to be bound by homework?
Fu Ziyan was annoyed.
But that didn't stop her from quickly returning to her study and diving into her homework.
She's currently studying A-Levels, preparing for school in the UK. She's been writing essays and case studies every week, something she's been familiar with since she was a child, but writing them still takes time.
