Chapter 842: Chapter 838 Handling the Traitor

Mo Xiaoyan said: “Money is not a problem. The subsequent funds will be added very soon. What your marketing department needs to do now is figure out how to win the second battle and win it beautifully for me!”

The marketing manager said confidently: “Mr. Mo, you won’t be disappointed!”

“Is there any issue with the production department?” Mo Xiaoyan asked.

A fair and chubby middle-aged woman stood up and said, “Mr. Mo, currently, there are no problems on the production side. However, to meet the newly set production targets, we need at least two more production lines. The workshop has already been built, and we can start once the equipment arrives. The only issue is the shortage of staff.”

Mo Xiaoyan nodded and said, “Discuss the worker situation with the Human Resources Department, prepare for recruitment in advance, and also take charge of the training for the new workers.”

The human resources manager said: “I understand the situation here. Many of the working-age people in Mingde County have gone to work in Hua Hai City and other coastal cities, so recruiting workers will be somewhat tricky.”

“The county can’t retain people because the majority of local companies can’t offer salaries that satisfy these young people. If they can earn money at home, I believe many would be willing to return.”

Mo Xiaoyan said, “I don’t need to teach you these trivial matters. Figure it out yourself. Human Resources and the Production Department should discuss this and give me a feasible plan within this week.”

The human resources manager wanted to say something, but in the end, remained silent.

Mo Xiaoyan said: “If there’s nothing else, the meeting is adjourned.”

After saying that, she stood up and walked out of the meeting room, with her secretary hurrying to follow.

Once Mo Xiaoyan exited the meeting room, that unexplainable pressure rapidly dispersed. Everyone present felt that Mr. Mo was becoming increasingly assertive and domineering.

Back in the CEO’s office, Mo Xiaoyan rubbed her temples. The secretary placed a stack of documents on her desk, then turned to leave. Mo Xiaoyan suddenly said, “Yu Wen, make me a cup of coffee.”

“Sure, Mr. Mo,” the secretary responded. After a short while, she brought over a cup of coffee, placed it on Mo Xiaoyan’s desk, and said, “I put two sugars according to your preference.”

As she spoke, she was noticeably distracted.

“Hmm.” Mo Xiaoyan picked up the spoon and slowly stirred.

“Mr. Mo, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head out,” the secretary said.

Mo Xiaoyan suddenly looked up and asked, “Yu Wen, how is your mother’s illness?”

The secretary was suddenly rooted to the spot, biting her lip hard, her hands trembling uncontrollably. She had never mentioned her mother’s surgery and hospitalization to anyone at the company.

How did Mr. Mo know?

Besides this, what else did she know? Could it be that she also knew about my selling company information to Xie Liping…

The secretary’s heart felt like it was about to leap out, but she still pretended to be calm, saying with difficulty, “Mr. Mo, you, how did you…”

Mo Xiaoyan said with a gloomy face: “You are an employee of my company, personally hired by me. If you have difficulties at home and need help, why not tell the company? What does it mean to involve an outsider?!”

She knows everything! The secretary felt despair, suddenly turned around, her hands clenched into fists, “Mr. Mo, I’m sorry!”

Mo Xiaoyan took a document bag from the drawer and threw it over, saying, “Take it.”

“I,” the secretary hesitated for a moment, took the document bag, “I’ll go and handover my work right away. I’m sorry, Mr. Mo, and thank you for all you’ve done for me during this time!”

“You did let me down. As my secretary, you had difficulties but didn’t come to me. That’s also my responsibility as a boss. But there’s no need for a work handover, since I’m not firing you.” Mo Xiaoyan said with some irritation.

“What?!” The secretary widened her eyes.

“What’s inside is a check, not a dismissal letter,” Mo Xiaoyan said impatiently. “Your mother’s hospital expenses require money. This money, I’m lending to you in my personal capacity. Pay me back with interest in the future! Also, you are approved for a two-day leave to visit your mother in Hua Hai City and return quickly. The company has a lot of work that I can’t handle alone.”

The secretary tightly held the manila envelope as she walked out, closed the door, took a deep breath, and looked up to keep her tears from falling.

People do influence each other. If it were Mo Xiaoyan’s usual spoiled and capricious temper as a wealthy lady, if it weren’t for Ye Fan’s decision to spare Xie Liping today affecting Mo Xiaoyan, this secretary might have been immediately fired and then taken to court.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan returned to the police station. Shortly afterward, a female officer walked over and said, “Commissioner, Director Zhao wants to see you.”

“En, I’ll be right there,” Ye Fan said, suddenly recalling the dream he had last night. Was the woman he couldn’t reach Zhao Lina?

He thought about it for a while but couldn’t figure it out, comforting himself, “It’s just a dream.”

Arriving outside Zhao Lina’s office, he knocked on the door. From inside came Zhao Lina’s voice, “Come in.”

Ye Fan pushed the door open and saw Zhao Lina sitting behind the desk, with papers and documents piled high in front of her. She looked up at Ye Fan and asked, “How’s the detective squad?”

After Fan Feipeng was subjected to dual regulations, Ye Fan quickly took over the detective squad. Given his current strong position, no one dared to cause trouble.

“No problem,” Ye Fan said. “Ma Hongbing is quite good, with strong work ability and good interpersonal skills. Having him temporarily in charge of the detective squad should prevent any issues.”

Zhao Lina acknowledged with a sound and said, “I’ll give you materials related to other departments of the police station later. If there are no issues with your work here, prepare to take over several other departments. The work at the detention center is relatively simple, so start there.”

Ye Fan nodded: “Okay, I understand.” He glanced at the cup on Zhao Lina’s desk, noticing the green tea leaves floating, indicating it was the Longjing he had brought over last time.

In a brief moment of distraction, Zhao Lina suddenly said: “There’s been definite news from the county commission for discipline inspection, Wang Xianzhong and Fan Feipeng have been subjected to dual regulations and expelled from the party, so they have no chance of coming back. You can take this momentum to quickly take over other departments.”

Ye Fan slightly frowned: “Why is the county commission for discipline inspection acting so quickly and decisively?”

Zhao Lina thought for a moment and said: “I don’t know, but regardless of the reason, this is good news for us.”

She paused and said: “If there’s nothing else, you can head back.”

Ye Fan hesitated, wanting to say something but swallowing his words.

He stood up and walked towards the door. Their conversation was purely about work, without a single word beyond that.

When Ye Fan gently closed the door, a sudden sense of loss enveloped him, reminiscent of the dream.

At this moment, with only a door between him and Zhao Lina, they were already drifting apart.

“If we can’t accompany each other through life, then perhaps it’s best to forget each other in the rivers and lakes. It’s better for both Lina and me,” Ye Fan thought, shaking his head helplessly.
