During the time Liu Huanyi was in school, all his work was taken over by Hu Die and two other people.

But the three of them were young and not as prestigious as Liu Huanyi, so there were always people who did not complete the tasks they assigned to them.

"Lin Zhi, you should have handed over the background data to me yesterday. Why haven't you done so yet?" Xing Zhao patted Lin Zhi's desk, but the other party didn't take it seriously.

Lin Zhi lazily took off his headphones and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I am also taking care of other project data. I am not a robot. I have to do them one by one."

"But I told you to do this data last week, and you haven't submitted it for a week. What are you busy with?" Xing Zhao suppressed his anger. He didn't want to make his relationship with his colleagues so strained while Liu Huan was away, so he tried his best not to get angry.

Lin Zhi leaned back in his chair and looked at him lazily.

"I'm busy with work. I'm not like you, who has a good boss. I have to complete each project on my own."

Lin Zhi's sarcasm was obvious, and all the anger that Xing Zhao had suppressed just now burst out in an instant.

"Say it again!" Xing Zhao grabbed Lin Zhi's collar and warned him with gritted teeth.

"Just say it, as long as you have the nerve to do it. I'm not like you, I have a good boss to protect me."

Xing Zhao was furious. "Even without the boss, I can still do my job well!"

"Without your boss, you can't even get into our company."

Lin Zhi waved his hand away, "I advise you not to do anything and wait for Director Liu to come back. Otherwise, you might get into trouble and Director Liu will have to clean up your mess."

"How dare you say that--" Xing Zhao was about to punch him in the face, but was stopped by someone.

"stop."

When Huo Yuli's cold voice came, Xing Zhao and Lin Zhi were both stunned.

Lin Zhi immediately stood up and greeted him, "Mr. Huo."

"What are you doing?"

Xing Zhao originally wanted to say that he came to Lin Zhi to ask for data, but Lin Zhi refused to give it to him. But then he thought that saying this sounded too much like a complaint.

He held back and just said he was talking about work.

"Yes, let's talk about work. Mr. Huo, do you have any instructions?" Lin Zhi nodded and looked at Huo Yuli, rubbing his hands and asked with a smile.

"Xing Zhao, come to my office."

Huo Yuli said this and left without paying any attention to Lin Zhi.

Xing Zhao was extremely reluctant, but he knew what Huo Yuli was going to say to him without asking.

It's nothing more than scolding him for not having a good relationship with his colleagues.

He grabbed a handful of hair in annoyance and walked into Huo Yuli's office reluctantly.

"Boss Huo, if you want to scold me, do it quickly. After that, I have to go back to work."

Huo Yuli sat in the large boss chair, frowning slightly.

"Why would I scold you?"

"Aren't you going to scold me for not getting along well with my colleagues?"

"You think too much."

Huo Yuli raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

Xing Zhao was suspicious, but since Huo Yuli asked him to sit down, there was no need for him to stand all the time, so he sat down without hesitation.

"Boss Huo, just say what you want to say. If you want to scold me, go ahead. Anyway, I am paid by you, so I am prepared to be scolded by you."

Huo Yuli really didn't intend to scold him. Instead, he poured him a cup of tea.

"You don't need to give me these sugar-coated bullets. I won't be fooled." Xing Zhao crossed his arms and firmly rejected Huo Yuli's "goodwill".

"Why do you think I'm trying to bribe you with sugar-coated bullets?" Huo Yuli found it funny and crossed his arms like Xing Zhao, "I've never offended you, but you seem to be quite hostile to me."

This sentence made Xing Zhao stunned. Strictly speaking, Huo Yuli had never offended him. The only conflict between them was that Huo Yuli liked Liu Huanyi, and Wei Zhou also liked Liu Huanyi.

Huo Yuli and Wei Zhou are just rivals in love. As Wei Zhou's good brother, he naturally has to share the same hatred for the enemy.

"That's none of your business. You just need to know that I'm not cutting corners on my work just because I hate you."

"I believe you won't. You are someone brought by Liu Huanyi. Your character and skills are not bad."

That's a nice statement. Xing Zhao nodded in agreement and looked at Huo Yuli warily.

"What do you want to say?"

"Do you know why no one obeys you when Liu Huanyi is not around?"

This sentence aroused Xing Zhao's curiosity. He looked at Huo Yuli with a strange expression. He was curious, but did not want to lose face and ask Huo Yuli to give him an answer, so he could only wait.

Fortunately, Huo Yuli was very generous and didn't mind his awkwardness.

"The current situation of your team is that Liu Huanyi has taken on too much responsibility alone. She has shown her talents, but you have not seized the opportunity to show yourselves. As a result, others can respect her but not you. You should reflect on whether you should learn from her and show your talents when necessary."

Knowing that Xing Zhao would not beat around the bush, Huo Yuli did not play word games with him and told him clearly.

Xing Zhao was stunned.

He had never thought about this problem. The model of their team has always been that Liu Huanyi is in charge and then assigns tasks to them one by one.

They only need to complete the tasks given by Liu Huanyi, and they don't have to worry about anything else.

"Forget about it before, but now that Liu Huanyi is away from the company, you must take on her share of responsibility. How can others obey you if they can't see your abilities?"

Once Huo Yuli became serious, Xing Zhao didn't dare to treat him with the same attitude as before. He could not help but straighten his back and listen to his instructions.

"So what should I do now?"

"Lin Zhi is a good opportunity to establish your authority and take back the initiative. Believe it or not, if Lin Zhi's problem cannot be solved today, more and more people will fail to complete their tasks because they know you won't care."

Huo Yuli's words made Xing Zhao fall into deep thought. After a long time, he raised his head.

"I understand. Thank you... Mr. Huo."

This thank you came with difficulty, but Huo Yuli didn't mind. As long as he could make it clear, it was good. He was just afraid of those stubborn and stubborn people.

Xing Zhao left Huo Yuli's office in a strange mood.

He had always had a grudge against Huo Yuli because of Wei Zhou, but he didn't expect that he could actually learn something from Huo Yuli, something that no one had ever taught him.

Hu Die and Wei Zhou were very worried when they knew that he was called away by Huo Yuli, so they waited for him outside the president's office together. When they saw him come out, they hurried to greet him.

"Are you okay? Did Mr. Huo scold you?"

Xing Zhao shook his head, "No, let's go back first."

Wei Zhou saw that his face was heavy and didn't believe that Huo Yuli didn't scold him.

"I'll go talk to Mr. Huo for you. What right does he have to scold you? Didn't the boss already tell him about this? Our team can take care of itself, and he can't interfere in our team's internal affairs."

"Don't--"

Xing Zhao quickly grabbed Wei Zhou and said, "It's really okay. I'm grateful to Mr. Huo for telling me a lot."

"Huh?" Wei Zhou stopped and looked at him in surprise, "Are you sure that Mr. Huo was telling you the truth? He wasn't trying to trick you?"
