After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Brother Wei, I’ve Been Beaten Up (Please Vote)

TL: YYang

It wasn’t easy to find a job, and it wasn’t easy to reach a management position, especially since the pay at Jingfu was quite good.

The current economic situation was average, and good jobs were not easy to find, so everyone naturally wanted to stay with the company.

In this oppressive and gloomy atmosphere, the original boss, Shi Wenkuan, pushed open the door and walked into the conference room with a young man.

Everyone looked up in unison, their gazes falling on the young man.

He was tall and well-proportioned, wearing a black zippered knit Polo shirt, gray non-iron textured trousers, and a pair of black leather shoes. He was indeed very well-dressed.

‘This must be the new boss.’

But when they saw his face, everyone was a little surprised.

‘So young?’

‘He looks to be in his early 20s, and he’s already bought such a large company?’

The new boss always had a faint smile on his face, looking very approachable.

However, the managers, who had been in the workplace for a long time, knew that the more unfathomable a smiling tiger was, the stronger his methods were.

After the two of them sat down on either side, Shi Wenkuan cleared his throat and said, “Everyone, you have all received the notice. I will be leaving the Jingfu family soon. Thank you all for so many…”

Shi Wenkuan said some pleasantries, then said goodbye to everyone, and finally got to the main point. “This will be your new boss from now on, Shen Yuan.”

Clap clap clap!

The human resources director, Zhong Yu, immediately took the lead in applauding. He wanted to make a deep and good impression on the boss before he got to know anyone else.

The others were not to be outdone and applauded vigorously.

Shi Wenkuan waited for the sound to die down a little before pressing his hand down. “Next, Mr. Shen will hold a meeting for everyone. I have something else to do, so I’ll be leaving first.”

Shen Yuan stood up and shook hands with Shi Wenkuan. It wasn’t until Shi Wenkuan walked out of the conference room that he scanned the crowd and said with a smile, “It’s a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Shen Yuan.”

“Today is actually just a handover meeting. I don’t have any other work arrangements for the time being.”

“Except for the human resources director and the financial director, everyone else can go back first.”

Shen Yuan had never managed a company, but under Old Shen’s influence, he also knew what to do.

What’s more, he had a cheat and the Hong Kong EMBA to back him up. These were his confidence.

So in his eyes, these managers were no different from other ordinary people.

Everyone was slightly stunned. They had thought there would be some major work, but since the new boss had said so, everyone stood up and left the conference room.

“Mr. Shen, what are your work instructions?”

Zhong Yu straightened his body, placed his hands on the table, and looked at Shen Yuan sincerely.

Shen Yuan glanced at him. It seemed that this Director Zhong was eager to perform.

Then, he paused. “I need the company’s financial statements for the last three months, as well as the monthly human resources reports.”

“Okay, I’ll go back and get the reports for you right away.”

Zhong Yu agreed at once. “Mr. Shen, do you have any other instructions?”

“No.”

Shen Yuan smiled faintly. “How long have Director Zhong and Director Liu been with the company?”

Zhong Yu was about to get up, but he was a little unnerved by the smile. He replied without thinking, “I’ve been with the company for 5 years.”

“I’ve been with the company for 3 years,” the financial director, Director Liu, a woman in her 40s with glasses, also replied.

“Okay, I see. You can go now.”

After the two of them left, Shen Yuan also returned to his office from the main conference room and stretched in his boss’s chair.

The most important thing in managing a company was to firmly grasp the personnel and financial power.

So the positions of human resources director and financial director were very important. He had to observe them first to see if they were usable.

It was of course best to use his own people, but he had no one to use now.

Shen Yuan rested for a while, then called Fu Yingzi and asked her to start working at Jingfu tomorrow.

The entrepreneurial base project was basically completed. The subsequent cashier, financial statements, transaction data organization, and cost accounting could all be handed over to Long Jinghan, who was a professional in this field.

The little secretary had done a good job in the early stages. Her ability and execution were also good, so Shen Yuan planned to keep her by his side.

He planned to have Fu Yingzi rotate through different positions at Jingfu to get a comprehensive understanding of the company’s situation as soon as possible.

“Boss, but I still have half a month before summer vacation, and I still have some classes to attend,” Fu Yingzi said her concerns on the phone.

“As long as you don’t fail the exams. Besides, don’t you have to start your internship next October? You can start your internship early now.”

Now that they were both juniors, after this summer vacation, they would be seniors and would have to start their internships. So Shen Yuan was essentially solving this internship for her in advance.

“Alright then, I’ll get ready.”

“Okay, I’ll have the human resources director, Zhong Yu, contact you then.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, the two directors quickly submitted the financial statements and the monthly human resources reports. Then Shen Yuan told Zhong Yu about Fu Yingzi’s matter and began to browse the reports.

With the help of the EMBA, it was also easy to read these boring reports.

After reading for a short while, Shen Yuan had a basic understanding of the company’s overall situation.

In short, the profits of the two fitness centers and the yoga studio were okay. The worst-performing physical examination center could barely maintain a balance of income and expenditure.

The minor problems were that the company’s manpower was too redundant, to put it simply, there were some slackers. Also, the monthly online promotion fees of the network operations department were too high.

But these two problems were not big.

Before he had a complete grasp of the company’s situation, Shen Yuan, an outsider, did not plan to make any drastic changes. What’s more, the company was making money now.

After staying at the company until 5 o’clock, Shen Yuan left the company and went to Guanting Decoration.

When he arrived at the foot of the building, Shen Yuan called Su Xuewei, but no one answered. Then he called again, and still no one answered.

That was strange. Su Xuewei was usually very responsive to calls and messages because of the renovation.

So Shen Yuan had to call Fu Zhengmei and explain the situation.

“Mr. Shen, she took leave and went home an hour ago, saying there was an emergency at home,” Fu Zhengmei explained on the phone.

“Did she say what the emergency was?” Shen Yuan asked on the phone.

“She didn’t say. I just called her, and she didn’t answer either,” Fu Zhengmei’s voice on the phone also sounded a little worried.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuan stepped on the gas and drove towards Guansha.

When Shen Yuan arrived at the U-shaped apartment building, he found five or six people standing in the narrow corridor in front of Su Xuewei’s house. These five or six people were divided into two groups and were cursing at each other.

“It’s just a little water leak. What’s the big deal? It’ll stop leaking in a while. You’re making a fuss over nothing!”

The speaker was the gossipy Zeng Lianfeng. She had said a lot of bad things about the Su family before because they didn’t agree to marry off their daughter.

“Zeng Lianfeng, it’s bad enough that you usually talk so nastily. Now that you’ve done something wrong, how can you be so righteous?”

The one standing up for Su Xuewei’s family was Zhang Mei. As a good neighbor, it was only right for her to help out in such a situation.

“What did I do wrong? Whose house hasn’t leaked water? Is leaking water called doing something wrong?” Zeng Lianfeng said with a nonchalant expression.

“Your house leaked water, and you didn’t come down to say hello to anyone, nor did you mop the floor to deal with it. When little Jie went up to tell you, you even scolded him. Is this how you behave?” Zhang Mei said indignantly, her hands on her hips.

“This child knocked on the door without even saying hello. He has no manners at all. What’s wrong with me scolding him a few times on behalf of his dead father?” Zeng Lianfeng said recklessly.

Su Xuewei in the crowd quickly covered her brother’s ears. She saw that Aunt Zhang was about to continue her counterattack and gently pulled her arm. “Aunt Zhang, forget it.”

Zhang Mei turned her head. “If we forget about this, she’ll be even more outrageous next time.”

“Forget it. We won’t pursue it,” Su Xuewei gently shook her head.

“Sigh~”

Zhang Mei sighed, then said to Zeng Lianfeng, “You should at least apologize to the child. The child did nothing wrong.”

“Apologize?”

Zeng Lianfeng sneered. “Are you kidding me?”

As soon as Shen Yuan went upstairs, he could hear their loud argument, so he basically understood what was going on.

Zeng Lianfeng’s house was right above Su Xuewei’s. Her house leaked water into Su Xuewei’s. Su’s mom probably asked little Jie to go up and remind her, but Zeng Lianfeng scolded little Jie a few times.

Then, the helpful Zhang Mei couldn’t stand it and started arguing with Zeng Lianfeng.

Seeing that Zeng Lianfeng was unwilling to apologize, Shen Yuan squeezed through the crowd and said to her, “Apologize to the child.”

Zeng Lianfeng crossed her arms and looked at Shen Yuan sideways. “Oh, you’re not even married to her yet, and you’re already so eager to stand up for her.”

Shen Yuan looked at this shrew coldly. “You scolded the child. Apologize to the child.”

“I won’t apologize. What are you going to do about it?”

Zeng Lianfeng was actually a little scared of this rich person, but with so many neighbors watching, she had to save face.

“Damn it, what kind of piece of shit are you, telling my mom to apologize!”

At this moment, a thin, spirited young man, about 170cm tall, suddenly rushed out from behind Zeng Lianfeng.

He stared at Shen Yuan with fierce eyes. “Are you so awesome? Telling my mom to apologize?”

Shen Yuan frowned. “Who the hell are you?”

“I won’t change my name or my surname. He Liang. Remember me…”

Slap!

A loud and clear slap with a whoosh directly hit his face.

Everyone was stunned. The spirited young man covered his face in disbelief, never having expected the other party to dare to strike directly.

“I didn’t hear clearly just now. Say your name again,” Shen Yuan said with a faint smile on his face.

“I’ll fuck your mother!”

The spirited young man threw a punch, but Shen Yuan didn’t dodge. His hard chest muscles took the punch. The spirited young man’s punch was soft and weak, like a scratch.

Then, Shen Yuan kicked him in the thigh. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

If it were just a shrew who could only talk, Shen Yuan really wouldn’t have slapped him. But this was a brainless spirited young man who would definitely fight back.

Zeng Lianfeng’s mind went blank. Before she could react, her son had been knocked to the ground.

He Liang was filled with grief and indignation in front of everyone. He pointed at Shen Yuan from the ground and shouted, “You just wait. I’m calling people right now!”

After saying that, he took out his phone and started calling for backup. “Hello, Brother Long, I’ve been beaten up…”

“Go ahead and call. I’ll call someone too,” Shen Yuan said with a smile, then took out his phone and called his cousin. “Hello, Brother Wei, I’ve been beaten up. It’s in your Guansha jurisdiction…”
