Manager Bai's mind went blank for a moment.
"This, this is too much trouble for Mr. Xiao. I can handle it myself."
If I really let President Xiao go with me, not only will the fact that Yan Xici made so many copies of documents be exposed, but I won't even be able to accept the 'hardship fee'. It's tens of thousands of yuan. Just thinking about it makes my heart bleed.
"It's no trouble. We're all from the same company. I can't let people say that I, the boss, don't know how to do anything, right?"
"Mr. Xiao, this..."
"It's settled then!"
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and walked into Manager Bai's office. He wanted to see how Manager Bai would get out of this mess!
Seeing this, Yan Xici also hurriedly stood up and followed Xiao Ran into Manager Bai's office.
To be honest, Yan Xici was a little worried about Xiao Ran taking over her sister's company. Although she didn't deny his abilities at all, everyone has their own expertise. He was a university library teacher who spent his free time writing. Taking over such a large company right away made her genuinely worried that he wouldn't be able to handle it.
I never expected Xiao Ran to be so amazing; he's a completely different person from his usual smiling self.
On the surface, it's giving face, but in reality, it's killing with a soft knife—that's the most cunning.
Seeing that the two of them were about to photocopy documents, Manager Bai panicked completely and hurriedly followed behind, saying, "No, no, Mr. Xiao, you mustn't!"
If Xiao Ran finds out the truth, I'll definitely be fired!
He's only 35 years old, has two children, and his wife doesn't work, so his expenses are shockingly high.
If we lose our jobs, our whole family will be doomed!
Manager Bai entered the room and immediately closed the door behind him. His face was ashen and sallow, looking frighteningly unpleasant.
"Mr. Xiao, I really didn't know that Xiao Yan was Mr. Yan's sister. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have done this. Please believe me, you can rest assured that Xiao Yan is with me from now on. I will definitely take good care of her and guarantee that nothing like this will happen again."
Xiao Ran's brow furrowed, and he immediately tossed the document in his hand onto the table. "Oh? So, you're deliberately making things difficult for Xi Ci?"
"This...this is a long story. I'm not targeting Xiao Yan, I'm just a little uncomfortable with New Covenant's attitude. Although Yunya isn't one of the top 500 companies in the country, it's one of the top companies in the media industry in Shanghai. New Covenant is the first company to send people to check on the progress like this. It's obvious they don't respect our company."
Manager Bai spoke with a helpless expression. He didn't actually mean to target Yan Xici. After all, such a beautiful girl was rare even in the entire company.
"I'm afraid the reason is more than that."
Xiao Ran smiled.
He always felt that, from his perspective, since the other party had a business relationship with his company, it was perfectly normal for them to send someone to supervise the progress when the progress was not completed for a long time.
Even the best media companies are still busy providing services. If you're in the service industry, you have to have the attitude that the service industry should have, unless you don't want to cooperate with the company a second time.
But that's clearly impossible.
Starting a company is about making money, not a beauty pageant!
"So you think our company is a very high-minded company? I won't even mention other companies, but can you compare to Gaoyuan Media?"
This question left Manager Bai speechless. After thinking for a long time, he managed to say, "Actually, I think our company has more advantages than Gaoyuan Media. Besides, no matter how good they are, they still have to cooperate with us."
To be honest, if Yan Li were sitting here today, she would probably be moved by Manager Bai's words again.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ran is not Yan Li.
He raised an eyebrow. "A company that's only been established for three years, and you're talking about corporate culture? The only culture is to keep the company alive!"
The true situation of the company is now unknown to anyone except Yan Li and Wang Meng, who are in charge of finances.
They're barely able to pay salaries, yet they're still talking to me about corporate culture. Maybe Yan Li likes this kind of superficial stuff, but I really don't need it.
For people who value face, making money is the only true principle. In fact, managing a business is just like living. If you want to survive, you have to be well-fed!
People who can't even afford to eat don't care about saving face. Compared to those flashy but impractical things, how to survive is the most important thing!
"Mr. Xiao..."
Manager Bai was at a loss for words.
Suddenly, she realized that Xiao Ran was really too different from Yan Litan, and she really couldn't fool him anymore.
"Can you tell me why the New Testament Company's project is still not finished?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Bai felt a chill run down his spine.
You should know that this project has been stuck in my hands for more than three months.
If someone with Xiao Ran's personality found out, he might really take it out on himself!
He spread out the yellow paper and made up an excuse, "You see, there's a first-come, first-served order for everything, right? Companies that signed the new contract earlier haven't finished yet, so it's definitely not their turn."
"So guess why the department needs a supervisor? If it's really about technical skills, you're probably not as good as anyone sitting outside. The supervisor's job is to coordinate projects and bring them back so that everyone has something to do. If you can't even do that well, then I think there might be someone more suitable for this job than you."
