Chapter 73 - Layoff (1)

“Things always backfire when they reach their limits?” Mo Yuanxiu repeated. His voice was still low and unpredictable.

“I’m hanging up.” Lu Manman did not want to say anymore.

“When are you marrying me?” Mo Yuanxiu was very direct.

“It’s not time yet.”

“Miss Lu, I’m not patient enough.” His voice was calm, but there was a hint of coldness in it.

“I know. I won’t make you wait too long,” Lu Manman said. “I have to make Wen Yun think so highly of himself again.”

Otherwise, how could he understand the hatred she had felt back then?

Moreover, there was another important reason.

If she turned around and got married so soon, the Wen family could use the excuse that she wasn’t loyal to them to smear her reputation. She wouldn’t be so silly as to put herself in a disadvantageous position. Hence, she would choose to leave Wen Yun and marry Mo Yuanxiu in a perfect manner at a crucial time.

She would watch Wen Yun’s pathetic state in front of everyone!

It wouldn’t come too soon, but it wouldn’t be too late either!

“Stop fooling around,” Mo Yuanxiu said. “Things always backfire when they reach their limits.”

With that, the call ended.

Lu Manman looked at her cell phone unhappily.

She always felt that Mo Yuanxiu was such a mysterious man! He was obviously not some important figure, but he gave off a strange and mysterious vibe!

She bit her lip.

Anyway, she did not trust him easily.

Her tragic past life would not repeat itself again!

She did not need to be so conflicted and hesitant!

…

The following day.

Lu Manman, who had made an appointment with the general manager and Human Resources Department manager, went to the conference room with Zhang Cui by her side.

In the small conference room they were in, Lu Manman showed them the documents she had prepared. She said, “Director Yue, I need to allocate the marketing and development teams for Group A, as well as layoffs.”

Yue Nan was shocked and confused. “Director Lu, why do we have to fire people all of a sudden?”

“Some positions seem like they have a lot of leeway.”

“But…” Yue Nan looked at her. He had heard from the Marketing Department the previous day that Lu Manman handled matters in a domineering and powerful manner. She did not seem like a greenhorn at all, nor did she seem like she was trying to show off just because of her family’s authority. In short, she had a strong background and capabilities that one should not offend!

“Director Yue, feel free to speak your mind,” Lu Manman said as she watched him hesitate.

Yue Nan seemed to hesitate for a while but eventually decided to be direct. “Director Lu, many leaders wouldn’t go to such extremes when they’re in the same position. Under normal circumstances, they would provide their employees with some benefits and win the hearts of the people. Only then would they make appropriate amendments to build their own style. For example, Director Lu, it wouldn’t be good for the company’s management to take office immediately and show a display of severity.”

Lu Manman looked at Yue Nan thoughtfully.

Yue Nan’s reminder was spot on. According to traditional management, the first thing that would happen was that the staff would be negatively affected. If they weren’t careful, they might lose the support of the public.

But.

Lu Manman smiled. “Director Yue’s reminder makes sense. I asked the chairman for his opinion last night, and he tried to convince me otherwise. I thought about it and eventually decided to deploy and fire some employees.”

“Can you tell me what you mean, Director Lu?” Seeing that his advice was useless, Yue Nan could only compromise.

As a general manager, he had to have a good grasp of what was going on around him. He had to be good at speaking and know when to say what! At least, Lu Manman did not find his words repulsive at this point.
