"It's hard to say, maybe someone did it on purpose."
"Do you think there might be people who are unhappy about President Xiao being our CEO and are deliberately trying to trip her up?"
I think it's possible.
"This CEO Xiao is really unlucky. He just took this position and such a big thing happened. If this is not resolved properly, those shareholders will definitely not let it go. I heard that the penalty for breach of contract alone is 20 billion."
"20 billion? That much?"
"Yes, she's in for a lot of trouble. This Mr. Xiao is obviously an outsider. I don't know why the old chairman took a liking to her."
"I think she's just a pretty face, all show and no substance. Just wait and see how she handles this crisis."
A supervisor next to him tugged at the one who had been giving the loud speech; "Keep your voice down, Ms. Xiao will be here soon. If she hears you, you'll be asking for trouble!"
"I was just saying it privately, but it's the truth. Did I say something wrong?"
Xiao Qianqian and Zhang Qi pushed open the door and walked in. The people who were just talking immediately shut up, and the conference room became completely silent. They all looked at the woman who walked in with a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened. Zhang Qi next to her could tell at a glance that she was even more anxious than Xiao Qianqian.
The supervisors immediately gave her a bad review in their minds.
The situation is extremely urgent, yet this woman acts as if nothing is wrong. She's all show and no substance. The managers of the production, warehousing, purchasing, and marketing departments are the most anxious.
The production manager, also a man of quick temper, was the first to object: "President Xiao, the batch of goods from Changhua Group is due for delivery at the end of next month, but now the raw materials have been burned. How are we supposed to produce anything?"
"I'm trying to figure out a solution for the raw materials," Xiao Qianqian said calmly.
"Mr. Xiao, do you have any ideas? We've contacted all three domestic suppliers, but none of them have the goods." Zhang Tao, the purchasing manager, was also very anxious. He had already contacted all three, and they all said they were out of stock. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan and was very dissatisfied with Xiao Qianqian's calm attitude.
"Just because it's not available domestically doesn't mean we can't find the raw material. I'll find a way to get it."
"But, Mr. Xiao, we need to deliver the goods next month, and the raw materials need to arrive by this week at the latest, otherwise the production schedule might fall behind."
"Yes, I'll try my best to get this batch of raw materials delivered this week."
The crowd below gasped when they heard her boastful promise. Did she even know what she was doing? The purchasing department couldn't even get the goods they wanted, yet she, an outsider, could find a way to get them?
Zhang Qi, who was standing next to her, was also giving her a wink. Before reporting to General Manager Xiao, he had already reported to the Chairman. The Chairman had not yet found a feasible channel to obtain the raw materials.
In front of everyone, President Xiao made a promise: what if the raw materials don't arrive this week? Zhang Qi was extremely anxious. This President Xiao was still too young. If he couldn't keep his word, she might become the target of everyone's criticism. It seemed she would have to go see the chairman later to see if there were any other solutions.
"I'll figure out the raw materials. The purchasing department should compile a list of the required quantities and specifications and give it to me. As for the production department, your task is to expedite production once the raw materials arrive."
The production manager stood up; "As long as General Manager Xiao can procure the raw materials this week, I'll work overtime to produce them. Don't worry."
"good."
"Also, regarding the warehouse department, has the cause of this fire been determined?"
The warehouse manager, who had been called out, stood up. He was a man with a bit of a belly. "The investigation is still ongoing," the warehouse manager said nervously.
Xiao Qianqian looked at him seriously, "We must find out the cause as soon as possible, and at the same time strengthen the security management measures in the warehouse to prevent this from happening again. If it happens again, you're fired."
The warehouse manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Xiao Qianqian looked at the others and said, "This incident has caused great losses to the company. I hope everyone will learn from this. We must work together to ensure the company's normal operation. Meeting adjourned."
After the meeting, Xiao Qianqian returned to her office. Leaning back in her chair, she rubbed her temples, looked at her protruding belly, stroked it, and murmured, "Baby, will Mommy get through this?"
Zhang Qi came directly to the chairman's office after finishing the meeting.
"Chairman, the young mistress just promised in the meeting that she could get the raw materials in place this week. What should we do?"
"She promised to get it in this week?" The old man was also surprised. This kind of raw material is hard to come by. All three domestic suppliers are out of stock. He had pulled a lot of strings, but still hadn't received a definite answer. He was very anxious.
"Yes, Chairman, Madam is still too young. How can she make such a promise? If the raw materials don't arrive, she'll become the target of everyone's criticism." Zhang Qi was already sweating with anxiety.
Old Master Ye looked at him and saw that he was genuinely worried and anxious.
"Let's wait and see," Old Master Ye said calmly. "Perhaps she really does have a way."
Zhang Qi wrung his hands anxiously, "But Chairman, so many of us are at a loss, how could the young mistress, an outsider, possibly have any solutions!"
Grandpa Ye was silent for a moment, then said, "I believe in Qianqian. If she dared to make a promise, she must be confident. Besides, we can't just sit here and wait for our fate. You should contact the foreign company immediately and see if they have any solutions."
Zhang Qi nodded. "Okay, Chairman, I'll take care of it right away." With that, he turned and left.
Grandpa Ye looked out the window, silently praying that Xiao Qianqian could successfully obtain the raw materials and overcome this difficulty.
"Master, the young mistress..." The butler standing nearby was also a little worried.
"We must trust her; she's sensible." Although he comforted the housekeeper like this, he was also very worried. If this incident wasn't handled well, the shareholders wouldn't let it go, and there was also that difficult client and a large sum of liquidated damages. It was truly fraught with difficulties.
"Oh, right, Hao, could you call Lu Tingyan and ask him to investigate the cause of the fire? I don't believe it was a spontaneous combustion."
"Sir, are you saying someone deliberately set the fire?"
"This is just my guess. Have him investigate thoroughly; I want to know the reason."
"Yes, sir, I'll call my son-in-law right away."
"Okay, go ahead."
In the fire escape corridor of the office building, a figure lurked around. He walked to a secluded spot and made a phone call.
