Zhao Yanxin stood up and replied helplessly, "We made a mistake when estimating the cargo volume. We didn't fully consider the actual shape and placement of the cargo. We thought the loaders had trouble loading the container, so we unloaded and reloaded the cargo, but it still couldn't fit. Fortunately, the customer agreed to ship the cargo by sea, in LCL, instead of air freight."

Peng Jianyue was not satisfied with this answer and said, "As far as I know, this customer is not a new one, but a return order. The box sizes are fixed, so how could such a mistake happen?"

Zhao Yanxin said: "I have verified with the purchasing department that the external dimensions of each carton are 20cm x 45cm x 70cm, which is 2cm wider than the previous width. The staff responsible for loading and counting the containers are still calculating the volume based on the old dimensions and have not made advance planning."

Xiao Zhaoshan asked, "Why is the width of the carton 2 centimeters wider than last time? Did the purchasing department order the wrong goods?"

Zhao Yanxin closed his eyes in pain, then opened them again and said, "The purchasing department didn't order the wrong goods. It was our team that made a mistake in writing down a piece of data when communicating with them."

He Yiyuan's expression was serious. "The extra loading and unloading costs will be deducted from your team's commission. The additional port of destination charges and LCL fees on the customer's side will be borne by the company. I don't want to make such a low-level mistake again next time. Manager Zhao, you stood out from so many salesmen last time and became a sales manager. I believe in your business ability and hope you won't let me down again."

Zhao Yanxin showed gratitude and said, "Thank you, Mr. He. I will definitely strengthen management in the future and work hard to improve performance." The punishment was lighter than he had imagined, and he felt relieved.

He Yiyuan's face darkened. "Although the client agreed to ship the remaining goods by sea freight, they're very dissatisfied with it. Last night, Director Lin, who's in charge of this foreign client, called me. Honestly, I'm a grown-up, and I rarely get scolded like that. I feel like the rain is falling outside, dampening my heart."

Some people wanted to laugh but held it back.

He Yiyuan continued, "Vice President He, you will be in charge of the Sales and Development departments from now on. Please strengthen your management. Vice President Xiao, you will be in charge of the Purchasing and Production departments. Signing an order is only the first step. Procuring materials, production, shipping, and collecting payments—each step is crucial. I hope you can communicate well and avoid similar incidents."

Xiao Zhaoshan said, "I understand, Mr. He."

He Xinyu said, "I understand, Mr. He."

He Yiyuan said, "Some of you mentioned Director Su, Su Tiantian, so I'd like to say a few words. I'm saying this in front of you, and I'll also say this at the Finance Department meeting in a couple of days. For any position, experience alone doesn't guarantee everything. You can rest easy. If you don't improve your abilities, you'll soon be eliminated."

He Yiyuan took a sip of tea and continued, "Some accountants are just record keepers, never using their brains and lacking data analysis skills. Therefore, they can't adapt to developments and are easily replaced by others. I want a CFO who understands budgeting and analysis, is involved in the front lines of business and in the process, creates value for the company, and does more than just bookkeeping and tax filing. She's the one who wins orders based on her skills."

He Xinyu agreed: "Director Su's ability is indeed unquestionable. The orders she signs create value for our company. I have carefully reviewed the orders she signed. She is not trying to steal orders from anyone here. Sometimes she can sign orders that we cannot, which is also a good thing for everyone. After all, whoever signs the order will also get a commission."

Cao Baochong said, "That's right. Director Su is not trying to steal our orders. We are all working for the company's benefit. We can't treat her as a competitor and be on guard against her."

Zhao Yanxin was not convinced: "I'm not guarding against her as a competitor, but she just has a good relationship with you guys."

Tang Yuening pointed at her chest and said, "I, Tang Yuening, can honestly say that I was ignorant back then and offended Director Su. President He and Vice President Xiao also know about this. I can get along with her now. What do you mean she's just close to us? Manager Zhao, I didn't know her at all before."

Cao Baochong said, "Yes, Director Su and I weren't familiar with each other at first. Later, because of the orders she was going to take, we started communicating more and there weren't any major conflicts. As far as I know, Director Su doesn't have any complaints about you, Manager Zhao. Your team's reimbursement forms have always been processed promptly."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yanxin also admitted that, indeed, their group's reimbursement forms rarely got stuck, and if there were any problems, the Finance Department would take the initiative to communicate, so he said sincerely: "Then please, Mr. He, Vice President He, give me a chance so that I can check the order signed by Director Su." Is this a fair and legitimate way to grab a commission?

He Yiyuan was amused. It turned out that people who do business sometimes just need to be thick-skinned.

He Xinyu declined politely: "Manager Zhao, we can discuss this later. It is still unknown whether Director Su will sign the order again."

He Yiyuan said, "Today's meeting ends here. Assistant Peng, since Vice President He has been promoted, please ask Vice President He for his opinion on a new office."

He Xinyu said: "Thank you, Mr. He."
