Chapter 755: Chapter 745: Methods

Not long after, Zhong Fei contacted all the deputy managers of the business department in the company and went to Shen Yi’s office with Tian Tao.

Knock knock knock

"Come in!" Shen Yi’s emotionless voice came through. The office door opened, and the moment Zhong Fei stepped in, he had a bad feeling.

At that moment, President Tang, Su Qing, and Su He were sitting on the sofa leisurely drinking tea, while President Shen sat at the boss’s desk, fingers interlaced on the table.

Facing the few people’s gaze, Zhong Fei gritted his teeth and walked in, followed by six people, including five deputy managers of the business department and Tian Tao, the team leader.

Each deputy manager is in charge of a division, and each division has several team leaders.

For a team leader like Tian Tao, it seems like a leadership role, but in reality, there is no interaction with Shen Yi on a daily basis. Not just a team leader, even a deputy manager like Yang Hui usually wouldn’t have much interaction with Shen Yi. It was their first time coming to the big boss’s office today, and they were quite nervous.

"Is everyone here?"

"President Shen, two are out on business, temporarily unable to return, the rest are all here," Zhong Fei said through gritted teeth.

Although he was ten years older than Shen Yi, facing this young boss, he still felt nervous, especially at this moment, as Shen Yi emanated an aura that warned people to stay away. As the head of the business department, he naturally felt the pressure firsthand.

In his mind, he was cursing Tian Tao and Yang Hui thoroughly.

He had been in the company for many years, and naturally, he knew his boss’s temperament. Over the years, whenever this expression appeared, it meant something big had happened.

It’s not just him, even the former general manager had been scolded in front of everyone by President Shen and then directly dismissed because that general manager caused significant losses for the company.

He still remembered that the former general manager initially didn’t take it seriously, even rallying a few managers for support, with a hint of rebellion—if you dare to fire me, we’ll resign together.

At that time, a manager from the procurement department rashly spoke up, and then, shockingly, Shen Yi directly fired the two on the spot in front of everyone and asked if anyone else wanted to leave together.

Finally, the managers who spoke up for support were demoted or had their salaries cut. At that time, he was an outstanding team leader in the business department, and because of that incident, he was promoted to deputy manager, which was etched in his memory.

So, when Shen Yi again showed that expression, Zhong Fei felt his scalp tingling.

"Manager Zhong is quite the leader, huh? Now the business department has even started a drinking business, and I, the boss, didn’t know? Or is it that the funds I gave to you were kept for yourselves?" Shen Yi said casually.

Regarding entertaining clients, treating them to dinner, going to karaoke, and perhaps even spicing things up, she wasn’t unaware. After all, she was a businesswoman. Some things couldn’t be explicitly stated, but she wasn’t inflexible either. Naturally, she would approve a bit more funding. How the people below spent it was not her concern; she only wanted results.

But now, it had degraded to the point where their own female employees had to accompany clients to drink, which was a significant issue. If the employees were willing, she wouldn’t say anything, but today’s incident clearly showed that the employees were unwilling, and someone exploited their position to pressure them, which was a slap in her face.

Sure enough, hearing this, Zhong Fei’s expression became visibly panicked, with cold sweat forming on his forehead, and he quickly spoke up:

"President Shen, this was a dereliction of my duty. I didn’t expect such actions from those below. I will certainly strengthen management in the future to prevent such incidents from happening again, apologize to those involved, offer compensation, and accept punishment!"

See, this is the art of language. To rise to the position of business department manager, aside from business skills, he absolutely had the knack for handling problems and emotional intelligence.

Although this incident was caused by someone below, as people from the business department, he was the manager and couldn’t shirk responsibility. He admitted his fault and sought ways to remedy the situation, minimizing negative impacts while voluntarily accepting punishment.

Did he really not know about the female employees dining and drinking with clients? Impossible, there wasn’t any news that could stay hidden from him. He even had female employees accompany him at some dinners.

But could he admit to that? Of course not, President Shen wouldn’t believe it anyway. So, rather than shifting the blame to those below and incurring President Shen’s dissatisfaction, potentially leading to severe investigations and consequences, it was better to acknowledge some mistakes himself.

Hearing this, the corners of Shen Yi’s mouth slightly lifted, letting out a cold laugh, clearly understanding Zhong Fei’s rhetoric and thinking of something.

"Let me see, which deputy manager from our business department wanted our employees to drink and smile for clients?"

As she spoke, Shen Yi cast her gaze toward the people behind, causing Yang Hui to flinch and stammer:

"Presi... President Shen, I’m Yang Hui, the deputy manager of the third division of the business department. This wasn’t my intention. I had a client to meet in the evening and wanted to take a few employees. I didn’t expect Tian Tao to go find our company’s female employees. I truly was unaware.

I meant no disrespect to women; I just thought mixed-gender work teams would lighten the workload, but didn’t realize the employees took it so seriously, I..."

Before he could finish, Shen Yi waved her hand: "Yang Hui, right... from the third division. I remember you were promoted before I went to Jiang City at the end of the year before last, correct?"

"Yes, President Shen!"

"Oh, then let me ask you, when you talk about mixed-gender work teams lightening the load, if you take our female employees to dinner, do they get a commission from the deal?"

Yang Hui: "This..."

Not a chance. If regular employees help each other, there might be a commission, either as a joint effort or a private thank you, but as a manager finding clients, what did that have to do with those employees?

Helping the leader doesn’t warrant benefits, does it?

"No benefits, having someone work for nothing, risking being taken advantage of, while you take the rewards. How about this, from now on, your salary is gone, and I’ll provide you meals, how does that sound?" Shen Yi said softly, looking intently at Yang Hui.

Under Shen Yi’s pressure, Yang Hui was at a loss, only able to look towards Zhong Fei in front, but Mr. Zhong was overwhelmed himself and couldn’t possibly support him now.

"President Shen, I was wrong. I will correct it. I did it for our third division’s performance, you see..."

"No need. Not just you as a deputy manager, even if all your deputy managers are gone, I wouldn’t care. The deputy managers of the business department are always judged by performance. If you don’t do your job, others can.

Considering you’re a deputy manager, I’ll allow you some dignity, go to the HR department and handle the resignation paperwork yourself later."

After speaking, Shen Yi turned to Zhong Fei: "Some people shouldn’t stay in the company. You decide the personnel changes to fill the vacancies, report it to me, and I’ll approve it. Don’t let the third division’s work be affected, any questions?"

What could be the problem? Even if there were, it couldn’t be mentioned, otherwise, his job as the business department manager would be over.

Yang Hui leaving on his own accord gave him some dignity, while Tian Tao was directly dismissed.

Resigning and being fired are two entirely different results. The former wouldn’t affect finding work elsewhere, whereas the latter comes with penalties.

This was Shen Yi’s approach to handling issues as a decision-maker. When subordinates made mistakes, she wouldn’t address those employees directly but would find the relevant department leaders.

From start to finish, she never spoke directly to Tian Tao, not even harshly, because it wasn’t necessary.

In today’s society, no matter how wealthy she was, she couldn’t harm someone. If someone didn’t work for her, they could still find a job elsewhere, so criticizing a team leader or junior employee was a pure waste of time for her.

"No... no problem, President Shen! Before the end of work tonight, I will announce this in the third division, then choose people to fill in the deputy manager and team leader positions, ensuring the third division’s workflow is unaffected!" Zhong Fei quickly replied.

As the business department manager, he had the right to appoint team leaders directly, but the promotion of deputy managers required approval from higher-ups, a process he understood.

As for Yang Hui, his mind was now filled with the thought of it being over. He had worked hard to become a deputy manager, yet in under two years, he was dismissed, and finding such a job again seemed nearly impossible.
