Chapter 734 Renovation
"Is your information outdated?" Wen Shuyi said confidently, "I just received this information; it happened recently."
"Recently? Sister-in-law, who told you that? Or did you see it with your own eyes?"
"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but Mo Ru told me. She and Shen Jingjing have a good relationship, so her words are quite credible."
Jiang Yuanliang frowned, feeling extremely agitated.
At this moment, Jiang Yuanmao stood up and called to his wife, "Let's go."
He stopped pressing his younger brother. He had said everything he needed to say and let him know what he needed to know. After all, his brother was a high-ranking figure, and even as his older brother, Jiang Yuanmao wouldn't make decisions for him in this matter.
What he does next is entirely up to him.
Wen Shuyi gave Jiang Yuanliang a deep look, and after standing up, she couldn't help but add, "Think it over carefully, and tell us what you need us to do once you've figured it out."
Jiang Yuanliang didn't respond to that, but simply stood up and said, "I'll see you off."
Once they were in the elevator, Wen Shuyi turned to Jiang Yuanmao and asked, "What do you think Yuanliang will do?"
"I don't know," Jiang Yuanmao said frankly. "His business acumen and skills are beyond question, but this is the first time something like this has happened to him, and I'm not sure myself."
"If he really wants to marry that Shen Jingjing, are you going to help him get past the old man's approval?"
“I support him no matter who he marries. I’m not an old man; I don’t need him to have a child for me.”
Wen Shuyi smiled upon hearing this. No matter what, he, as the eldest brother, would always protect his younger brother.

"Yunshang Tiangong".
Since acquiring this place, Shen Ci finally has time to properly inspect it today.
The general manager here is surnamed Xie. He has been working at "Yunshang Tiangong" for more than four years. The acquisition did not involve any employees, and all current employees retained their original positions, including the highest-ranking general manager.
Shen Ci also raised the salaries of all employees, which greatly boosted his popularity among all employees as soon as he took over.
"Yunshang Tiangong" started operating earlier than "Shuiyunjian". It was first opened in 2007 and received a large number of guests from all over the world during the 2008 Olympic Games, which made it an instant hit.
However, nearly twenty years have passed since then, and many places have shown signs of aging and are not properly maintained.
This is also a major reason why "Yunshang Tiangong" is not as good as "Shuiyunjian".
Manager Xie was very familiar with the current situation of "Yunshang Tiangong". While leading Shen Ci on a tour of each floor, he told Shen Ci about the problems in each place without reservation, as requested by Shen Ci.
Shen Ci looked around and found that there were indeed many problems, but they were all remedies.
“Let’s start with the lobby.” Shen Ci looked at Manager Xie and said, “The biggest problem is the lobby on the first floor. It might have been grand enough twenty years ago, but it looks outdated by today’s standards.”
"If we renovate the main hall, we might have to close for a while. Won't that result in too much loss?" Manager Xie asked worriedly.
"I don't mean just renovating the lobby; I mean starting with the lobby. Closing down is fine; the entire 'Yunshang Tiangong' needs to be completely renovated, otherwise it won't reach a higher standard."
"Manager Xie." Shen Ci looked at the other party and instructed, "Go and contact some capable designers to come up with a few design proposals. I want to use a blue and white color scheme to truly capture the grandeur of a 'Heavenly Palace' in 'Yunshang Tiangong'."
"Blue and white color scheme?" Manager Xie asked to confirm.
Shen Ci nodded: "This color scheme is not easy to do, so the designer needs to have a good aesthetic sense and a lot of ideas, otherwise it's easy to turn this place into a mental hospital."
"You can go for the luxurious direction, it doesn't matter if it's a little extravagant, but it must have a strong presence."
The overall design of "Shuiyunjian" features a dark black and gold color scheme, exuding understated luxury.
That's why she wanted to make "Yunshang Tiangong" a bright blue and white color scheme, aiming for transparency and grandeur.
It's more interesting to have two completely opposite styles.
Manager Xie's eyes widened in astonishment: "Ms. Chen, a complete style overhaul is practically a complete renovation, the cost..."
"Don't worry about the money. Use the best materials possible. Once finished, this place should be at least on par with 'Shuiyunjian'."
Manager Xie had no choice but to nod and silently note down Shen Ci's request.
"Women's Day is just around the corner. Have you made arrangements for the benefits for the company's female employees?"
"Oh, this was decided a long time ago. It's the same every year: each female employee gets a set of skincare products plus a legally mandated half-day off."
Shen Ci immediately shook her head in denial: "Sending only skincare products is far too little. Besides, the female staff in our cleaning, housekeeping, and kitchen departments are all older. Skincare products are just fancy and impractical things for them."
"So, what does Miss Shen mean?"
"Let's just give out shopping cards. Everyone can buy whatever they want, but the stored value on the shopping card must not be less than one cent. The half-day leave will be changed to a full-day paid leave, and on the day of leave, you can choose either a meal or a beauty treatment at 'Yunshang Tiangong' for free."
"Huh?" Manager Xie was dumbfounded. Who gives employees benefits like this?
Can this still be considered a benefit?
Is this charity?
Then Shen Ci added, "This should be followed every year from now on."
"Okay, okay." Manager Xie looked back and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He didn't even dare to think about the cost of that day. If the accounts didn't look good, Miss Shen shouldn't hold him accountable.
Just then, her uncle sent her a message, telling her that he had arrived downstairs.
Shen Ci told him to come to the coffee shop on the first floor.
"Ah Ci," He Bin said, slightly out of breath from walking, covered in sweat, "the elevator in the underground parking lot was broken, so I walked up."
Upon hearing this, Manager Xie quickly said, "Ms. Chen, the elevator is quite old and breaks down frequently. I have already notified someone to repair it."
"The elevator is so old? Then the renovation is even more urgent. These old devices need to be replaced, otherwise accidents will happen over time."
"Okay, I'll take care of it as soon as possible, don't worry."
"Manager Xie, this is my uncle. You told me last time that the position of security manager was vacant, so my uncle filled the vacancy."
The former security manager was a relative of one of the previous owners. After the company was acquired, the owner did not stay, leaving this position vacant.
"No problem, just come with me in a bit to fill out a form and complete the onboarding process. As for salary..."
“A normal manager-level salary and benefits will suffice,” Shen Ci said.
He Bin had received the news in advance, and he had been feeling extremely anxious lately because he had nothing to do. He didn't expect Aci to arrange a job for him so quickly. He couldn't stop smiling and said, "Aci, then I'll work here from now on?"
Shen Ci smiled and nodded: "Uncle, please bear with me for now. If your aunt hadn't said you couldn't stay idle, I wouldn't have arranged for you to come to the security department here. I'll arrange another one for you when there are other suitable ones later."
