Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Boss, do you mind if I use your name...

The rain that night continued on and off for nearly a week before it stopped.

During this week, Fu Zhiyao only came to the company twice, once to discuss cooperation and once to bid for the Xinmao Building.

Fu Zhiyao officially announced at a special meeting that Yu Wan would be the team leader for the Xinmao land bidding. His illness hadn't fully healed yet, and his face was a little pale, but as he sat at the head of the long table, the aura and majesty of the former great devil became even stronger. All the executives present obeyed Fu's orders carefully.

As for whether anyone questioned the ability of Yu Wan, a small secretary, on the spot?

The buyer of the Xinmao land has not yet been determined. What's the point of opposing it now? It won't be too late to question Secretary Yu's ability after he fails and gets frustrated.

Furthermore, if Secretary Yu really has the ability to get the land of Xinmao, then the current contempt will become a slap in the face.

Therefore, everyone present looked at each other and burst into warm applause.

Once a team is formed, the first step is not to analyze the project and start working immediately, but to understand the team members.

The people were selected by Fu Zhiyao. Yu Wan did not doubt Fu Zhiyao's judgment in people, but after getting permission, she still asked Director He for the information of the team members.

When I knocked on the door and entered Director He's office, Director He had already prepared the information and greeted Yu Wan cheerfully, "You're here, Secretary Yu, please take a seat."

"Director He, thank you for your help."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Director He waved his hand and handed Yu Wan the personal information of several colleagues. "Secretary Yu, can you take a look and see if there's anything missing?"

"good."

Yu Wan took the information and looked through it carefully.

While Yu Wan was looking through the documents, He Cheng sat down on the sofa opposite her and tentatively asked, "Secretary Yu, the Xinmao project is a long-term battle. After the bidding is completed in the early stage, we will also be responsible for the implementation of the project in the later stage. It will take at least a year."

Yu Wan nodded, "Indeed."

4.08 square kilometers, even if only half of it is developed, it will take five or six months, not to mention the need for follow-up publicity after the project is completed, otherwise the $6 billion investment will be a joke.

However, Yu Wan has prepared for a long battle. She does not have enough experience in field projects. Her previous cooperation with Xin Yuan was particularly smooth only because they were old acquaintances. Now, Yu Wan is facing an unfamiliar field and new challenges. Yu Wan cannot slack off just because she has plenty of time.

What's more, the land has not been acquired yet, so there is no point in worrying about the loan. Yu Wan only has a general idea in his mind, and how to implement it specifically still requires the cooperation of all members of the team.

This is why she asked Director He for her colleagues' information. She needed to have a basic understanding of the team members to facilitate subsequent work allocation and improve efficiency.

Seeing that Yu Wan didn't understand what he meant, He Cheng took a deep breath and reminded Yu Wan awkwardly and tactfully, "Yu Wan, did you sign up for some job-hunting software a few days ago?"

Yu Wan finally looked up, her face filled with confusion. "I've registered, but how did you know about this, Director He?"

Director He coughed twice and left it at that. "Go back and look at the software you downloaded later. I won't say much. But, Yu Wan, the bidding for the New Trade Building is handed over to you. It proves that President Fu trusts you. You don't have to worry too much. Just work hard. I believe in you. If you have any questions, don't hold them back. Ask them boldly."

Yu Wan dared to take on a project worth tens of billions less than eight months after joining the company. With this determination, she has surpassed many people.

It is normal to be questioned and denied during the process. He just hopes that Yu Wan will not lose her fighting spirit and keep going. Of course, Fu Zhiyao, who is willing to hand over such an important project to Yu Wan, is also a great man. As the human resources director, what else can He Cheng do? Of course, he has to support Mr. Fu's decision.

After leaving Director He, Yu Wan immediately opened the job search app on her phone.

After downloading the new software, she habitually blocked the push notifications of useless software, so she naturally didn't pay attention to the movement of the job-hunting software. In addition, after being frank with Fu Zhiyao about the work arrangements, Yu Wan was already sure that she would not be marginalized, and resigning and looking for another job was not within her plan.

Yu Wan flipped through the 99+ messages densely packed in the message bar, filtering out useless information at a glance, and finally found the only dialog box that actively sent out a resume before her fingers got sore from scratching.

The other party's name is: Xinrun Food Co., Ltd.

Xinrun HR spoke in a very polite tone and sent her more than a dozen messages asking questions until they were sure that she had no intention of replying.

The last sentence was this: [I've seen Ms. Yu's work history. Did she work for Fu's? To be honest, Xinrun is a food company under Fu's. We supply most of the self-operated food products at Yao'an Department Store. We're as big as other brand companies, with a wide variety of products and a large scale, covering both high-end and low-end products. If you're interested, Ms. Yu, please feel free to contact me. Here's my phone number: ...]

Only then did Yu Wan understand why Director He knew that she had submitted her resume. Perhaps Xinrun's HR contacted Director He to inquire about the situation after seeing that she had not replied to the message.

Yu Wan pursed her lips, copied the phone number, and sent a sincere message, explaining that the resume was sent by mistake, that she had not yet resigned, and hoped that the other party would not mind.

Looking at the date of Xinrun HR's reply, it was the day before her conversation with Fu Zhiyao.

So, Fu Zhiyao gave her the Xinmao project only after he knew that she was thinking of resigning?

Yu Wan recalled Fu Zhiyao's confident tone when he gestured to her about the investment amount, as if she would definitely succeed. After noticing her retreat, he told her bluntly that she could come to him if she had any difficulties.

Yu Wan could feel that what Fu Zhiyao said was completely sincere. It was not forced, nor was it a concession to keep her. Just like every time he nodded to let her try, behind it was a guarantee of "Don't worry, do it, I will cover you."

Being affirmed and believed is probably the important reason why she has grown so fast in the workplace.

Even if Fu Zhiyao didn't say it, Yu Wan would not be able to handle the difficulties alone. A person's wisdom is limited, and being able to make rational use of the connections and resources around him is also a skill.

The elevator door dinged open, and as I stepped into the elevator, the familiar aroma of wormwood hit my nose.

Yu Wan instinctively looked up and met Fu Zhiyao's dark and deep eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.

Fu Zhiyao was the only one in the elevator. He was wearing a camel-colored striped three-piece suit with a gold handmade pocket watch chain pinned to his vest. A lion head badge hung from the buttonhole. He looked exquisite and retro. He put one hand in his pocket and stood casually, exuding a noble and elegant aura.

Compared to the listless and sickly look of the past few days, Fu Zhiyao is full of energy today.

"Secretary Yu."

This time it was Fu Zhiyao who greeted first.

Yu Wan hesitated for a moment, then walked to Fu Zhiyao's side and nodded, "Hello, Boss."

Both of them went to the top floor. The elevator slowly went up and the air was silent.

"The team has been formed. What is Secretary Yu going to do next?" Fu Zhiyao asked.

Yu Wan kept her gaze fixed on the tip of her shoe, reflected in the mirrored elevator wall. She controlled her surging emotions and spoke clearly, "Let's have a meeting. Get to know the team members. Let's briefly adjust our personalities before we get started on the project to reduce unnecessary arguments."

"Well, if you can't get along, then don't get along. If you don't need them, just kick them out of the team."

Yu Wan cast a surprised look at Fu Zhiyao, her eyes widened a little, and her face was full of disbelief.

Fu Zhiyao tilted his head and looked at her calmly, his eyebrows raised slightly: "Isn't it? Time is tight and the task is heavy. Secretary Yu has extra time to delay?"

Yu Wan: “…”

She didn't know if it was Yu Wan's illusion, but she always felt that after Fu Zhiyao's confession that night, he seemed to have thrown off some burden and became frank and straightforward. He greeted her when going to and from get off work, and pointed out her mistakes without hesitation when reading reports. His words and actions seemed to have returned to the way they were before.

Occasionally, Yu Wan would have the illusion that there had never been any rift between them.

Yu Wan retracted her gaze and straightened her back a little: "No, so, if I want to kick someone out of the team, boss, do you mind if I use your name?"

Fu Zhiyao's brows relaxed at this moment, and his voice was filled with a bit of self-deprecating laughter: "I've been carrying the title of the Great Devil for seven years, and this is all I need from you?"

Yu Wan was slightly stunned, and suddenly regretted what she had just said.

"Then I can't use your name, boss. If I remove a team member, it's probably because they're not suitable for the new trade project, not for personal reasons."

No one would be willing to be labeled as the big devil. Yu Wan could nod when listening to people's complaints, but in front of Fu Zhiyao, Yu Wan didn't want to say anything that would make him sad.

The elevator was silent for a few seconds. Yu Wan could feel Fu Zhiyao looking at her. She looked back and switched to another topic rather abruptly.

"Boss, will the new member of the President's Office report to the company tomorrow?"

Fu Zhiyao came back to his senses, the smile on his lips still lingering. "Well, his name is Xu Jingkang, he's 26 years old, and he used to work at Yao'an Department Store. If possible, Secretary Yu, please give him some guidance when you hand over the work."

At the age of twenty-six, three years older than her, only Fu Zhiyao could naturally ask her to give some advice to Xu Jingkang.

However, in terms of being a secretary, she is indeed Xu Jingkang's predecessor.

Yu Wan nodded: "I will."

With the establishment of the new project, Yu Wan will not stay in the President's Office for the time being. The administration has cleared out a spacious office area on the 31st floor as the exclusive office for the new trade project team. The office comes with a conference room, so there is no need to reserve a public conference room in advance, making it convenient for members to hold meetings and discussions anytime and anywhere.

It was the first internal meeting of the team. Wei Xian quietly came with his computer to observe, greeted Yu Wan, and sat in the corner of the meeting room.

Yu Wan proceeded at an unhurried pace according to the process, introducing himself, introducing the members to each other, and introducing the basic situation of the project and key points to note.

When a member is in a hurry to speak, stop him/her and let him/her listen quietly before expressing his/her opinion. Be moderate in words and actions.

Wei Xian was surprised, but at the same time he felt a sense of appreciation and admiration.

Wei Xian still remembers the process of working with the team members when she first led a project. Because she was afraid of conflicts within the team, she always adhered to the principle of free discussion. It was common for her to be interrupted when speaking, but she did not stop them. She chose to give in for the sake of superficial harmony. The end result was that no one took what she said seriously at all. Every time she opened her mouth, someone would jump out to express dissatisfaction before she finished speaking.

Excessive freedom became a huge rock weighing on her head, causing her to lose her leadership.

Wei Xian had no choice but to ask President Fu for help. Fu Zhiyao criticized her harshly and entered the conference room with the documents. Without even saying a word, the entire conference room suddenly became quiet. The people who were arguing with each other became as quiet as quails and did not dare to say a word.

Yu Wan was much smarter than her. She always had the initiative in control of the conversation and had imitated Fu Zhiyao's expression when he was silent. Although it was only about 70% or 80%, it was already intimidating enough. Didn't they see that everyone present dared to speak only after Yu Wan nodded?

Wei Xian lowered his head and sent a message to Fu Zhiyao.

The meeting process was clear, the pace was moderate, and the core objectives were well-integrated. Secretary Yu was amazing, and I learned a lot.
