Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Alarming the Board of Directors (6)

Tracking, extortion, confinement, and even despicable acts like traffic accidents kept cropping up, an endless trend—could we still say they weren’t a bunch of thugs?

It’s fine to suffer some loss in business, but if you deal with customers who disregard the law and lack a spirit of contract, you’ll never escape the entanglement of thugs. I fear that in the end, not only will you not make any money, but you’ll also be harassed by thugs for life.

Thugs can certainly drive you to ruin.

This is something every businessman dreads!

At that moment, Sister Cai’s gaze became fixed.

Because with just one sentence, Gu Nuan had hit the nail on the head.

Even the seasoned business "crocodiles" sitting at the meeting were left speechless for a moment.

The atmosphere in the conference room was entirely different from the relaxed one earlier, where people were ready to mock the newbie. Someone grew a little anxious and tugged at their collar.

A flicker of something passed through Xiao Jianming’s eyes.

The silence was awkward, tense, and volatile.

Someone suddenly chuckled and said, "Chairman, isn’t it an underuse of talent to have someone educated in finance go into investment promotion?"

"Isn’t the newly established Financial Department short of people?"

Facing a series of questions from other directors, Chen Jiaming, who had been seemingly preoccupied with his pen, looked up. He straightened the handcrafted suit he was wearing and said, "Gathering all the newcomers in the Financial Department might arouse dissatisfaction from other departments. After all, it’s not just the Financial Department that’s understaffed. Fifty percent of the recruits have gone into the Financial Department."

It was only then that Gu Nuan realized the new Financial Department at Changda was being managed by Chen Jiaming?

"Alright, the recruitment of personnel is the job of the HR department," declared Xiao Jianming.

Sister Cai was at her wits’ end. Clearly, the hot potato had been thrown right at her.

Just when everyone thought that this unexpected incident had come to an end, no one expected Xiao Jianming to follow up with, "It’s indeed not quite appropriate for a girl to break her legs doing investment promotion. I think she’d be more suitable for the Secretarial Office."

Perhaps, the earlier remark about Gu Nuan being overqualified for investment promotion was just a joke, not meant to be taken seriously—could a single comment really change a person’s fate after joining the company?

The company has its principles, especially one run with a military leadership philosophy like Xiao Jianming’s, which certainly operates by the rules.

According to Changda’s rules, a newcomer cannot be transferred during the first three months of the probation period. Afterwards, if one is unsuited for the probationary department, equivalent to failing probation, the company can directly dismiss them.

It meant that if Gu Nuan really wanted to transfer from investment promotion to the Financial Department, she would need to get the consent of both departments’ leaders and work for at least one full year, becoming a first-level employee at Changda, before she might have a slight chance.

To everyone’s surprise, Xiao Jianming’s statement sounded as if he was opening a special case for Gu Nuan.

Reality is cruel.

Xiao Jianming, a leader with a military style, would definitely not do so. He followed up by saying, "We can consider it after a year."

This was the outcome Gu Nuan had anticipated all along.

No matter, she now found that being in the third investment promotion group was quite good, as Fang Yongxing and Tang Qingzhong were genuinely kind to her. She wasn’t a finance major, but the things she was learning were just as beneficial for her future work.

The board’s questions regarding the third investment promotion group came to an end.

When Gu Nuan was about to leave, she heard Xiao Jianming instruct, "When you go back, your group should prepare a detailed report, including all that you’ve learned and your thoughts on the future of Mingyue Plaza. Write it comprehensively, without reservations. Use the courage you had when fleeing last night in your writing and submit it to me."
