Gu Yiyuan said with a serious expression, "Financial work is rigorous, and so is the company's operations. We've been in production for over four months now, and everything needs to be gradually improved. Brother Shan and Sister Tiantian have been working hard during this period. I will definitely thank you very much when the time comes."

Xiao Zhaoshan and Su Tiantian both said, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

Peng Jianyue and Tang Yuening came over.

Peng Jianyue said, "I've already asked all three of you. Vice President Xu of Dingyao Company said they all believe freight rates will increase significantly, and their current quotes are very conservative. He said the materials can be booked, but regarding the freight, I've asked three freight forwarders, and none of them are willing to book at the current price."

Tang Yuening said, "Mr. Gu, Vice President Xiao, the freight forwarder said that the freight will be calculated based on the day of shipment. I don't know what the price per container will be then. I think the price will go up."

Su Tiantian said, "Then what price do you think would be best for the customer, Manager Tang?"

Tang Yuening's expression was one of trepidation, yet with a hint of anticipation: "What does Deputy Director Su think?"

Su Tiantian said, "I haven't officially started yet. I'm just offering my opinion. Even if I officially start, I won't be in charge of the sales department. The Finance Department has the responsibility to review quotations, but who has the final say?"

Tang Yuening looked at Xiao Zhaoshan tremblingly, and Xiao Zhaoshan was so angry that he laughed: "Why are you looking at me? If you want to look, look at President Gu. President Gu is responsible for the company's planning and decision-making." There was a sense of obedience in his tone.

Tang Yuening's appearance really made Xiao Zhaoshan so angry that he wanted to curse her out loud. It really caused too much misunderstanding.

Before Gu Yiyuan took office, Xiao Zhaoshan was the one in charge of Dinghui Company. After Gu Yiyuan came, he saw the situation clearly and made Gu Yiyuan the main person. As the son of the major shareholder, with the support of other shareholders, Gu Yiyuan sat firmly in the position. He was a man of great knowledge and ability.

Gu Yiyuan said: "The customer wants to maintain the service, so the freight will double on this basis. We will send the quotation to see if the customer accepts it. If not, we will not accept the order. If the customer accepts the price and places the order, we will also advance the delivery date as much as possible, and both parties will negotiate it out."

Tang Yuening said, "I understand, Mr. Gu."

Gu Yiyuan waved his hand and said, "You did a good job this time. You didn't argue with the Finance Department directly, but asked Vice President Xiao to handle it. Next time you encounter something like this, you should pay attention to it. Different departments should communicate well to improve work efficiency."

Tang Yuening felt that she didn't understand whether this sentence was a praise or a criticism.

However, Su Tiantian immediately stood up, her eyes calm and firm, and her tone of voice neither arrogant nor humble: "I was wrong in this matter. I didn't communicate with the business department in time when there was a problem. Because I haven't officially taken office yet, some things are not convenient to say. Next time, I will definitely report to General Manager Gu and Vice President Xiao in a timely manner."

Gu Yiyuan said, "Su Tiantian, it's good that you understand. We must not only pay attention to methods but also efficiency when doing things. If the company has no business, it can't operate. Other departments must cooperate with the business department within their responsibilities."

Su Tiantian said seriously: "I understand, Mr. Gu."

Tang Yuening thought that he was the one being scolded, but unexpectedly it was Su Tiantian. However, looking at Su Tiantian's expression, he did not seem angry or afraid.

In fact, for Su Tiantian, this was not considered a scolding. She had indeed been holding onto the quotation from the business department in order to establish her authority. Since she thought there was a problem, she should have reported it to her superior before leaving get off work yesterday, even if she had to work overtime on a weekday.

However, Manager Tang was very tough. He didn't even try to communicate and went straight to his boss to complain.

Gu Yiyuan is not stupid. He sees the key point at a glance. He praises those who deserve praise, criticizes those who deserve criticism, and makes promises when necessary. For example, the sentence "I will definitely thank you very much when the time comes" is just empty talk in Su Tiantian's eyes. The salary received is the most practical.

Gu Yiyuan said, "You all should go out and do your work. You should handle your own tasks as quickly as possible, and remember to start with the most necessary and urgent matters. Vice President Xiao, you stay."

Watching everyone leave the office, Xiao Zhaoshan said, "I can't believe our CEO Gu would be willing to criticize Deputy Director Su, who we spent so much effort to invite back."

Gu Yiyuan said, "Brother Shan, what did Deputy Director Su do before? She was a sales manager. She probably knows more about certain things than the other two sales managers in the company. She knows how to protect herself. In the workplace, people who don't know how to protect themselves don't deserve sympathy, but those who do have a place to stand."

Xiao Zhaoshan said, "Honestly, in the nearby towns, the Liu family has a pretty good background. This Mrs. Liu could live well without working, but she has a very positive attitude. Her work ability is indeed worthy of recognition."

Gu Yiyuan said, "Brother Shan, please don't mention the company's land purchase in front of her. I promised that I wouldn't talk to her about this matter. I will talk directly to the Liu family."

Xiao Zhaoshan asked, "Are you sure you can get them to sell the land?"

Gu Yiyuan said, "In short, we will ensure the smooth progress of the company's second phase expansion plan. I want to discuss the company's plans, the upcoming projects, and its competitive advantages over similar products with you."
