Meanwhile, Li Chuan, who was left behind, was completely unaware of the situation.
And so, the mother and daughter spent a happy hour in Li Chuan, complaining and laughing at each other. Then, An Ran noticed that it was getting late and told her little one to go to bed.
Early the next morning, An Ran led a group of people to the company to inspect the work.
But today, An Ran wanted a different kind of inspection. He knew that if he personally inspected the work, the people around him wouldn't show him the true situation of the company. They would only show him the best and hide the worst from An Ran. What An Ran wanted to know most right now was the worst operational situation in the company so that he could prescribe the right medicine and ensure the company's stable development.
So Enran selected two trusted individuals to inspect the operations at the grassroots level, allowing them to ascertain the company's existence, the extent of fraud, and the true state of its internal operations—a win-win situation.
After Anran assigned them their tasks, they parted ways and headed to the company along two different routes.
When An Ran and his party arrived at the company by car, they saw a line of senior executives waiting for him to inspect the premises.
Then, led by the group, An Ran looked at the surface of each department. When he got to the accounting department, he casually asked a young girl who looked rather inexperienced and had just joined the company.
She wanted to ask him how he felt about his current position, but the young woman stammered and couldn't speak. She looked at An Hou with a frightened expression in the direction behind her, where only senior executives from various departments were following her.
Just as Anran was losing patience and wanted to stop him from speaking, the little girl took a breath. In stark contrast to her previous nervousness, she became calm and composed, as if reciting a script. She recounted everything about his work, except that she only summarized his strengths and only mentioned his weaknesses, omitting all the details.
Even a draft has its advantages and disadvantages. The description of not even having a proper draft prompted An Ran to chuckle, but this chuckle was met with satisfaction from the many higher-ups.
The executives were still wondering why he hadn't said anything bad about her. Wouldn't that be even better? But when they saw An Ran's smile, they understood that An Ran liked to hear good things and disliked hearing bad things.
So the managers hired some shills to gossip about how high the company's profits were and how well the colleagues and departments got along.
With each question yielding the same standard answer, An Ran knew without a doubt that she wouldn't be getting any information about the company's internal operations today.
So he simply went straight into the executive meeting room, ignoring all the insincere platitudes. He decided to take a look at the company's revenue over the past few months, since a company's profit is a crucial indicator of its operational success.
So Anran sat quietly in the main seat, listening to the senior management report on the company's profits over the years.
Just now, the executives mistakenly thought they had discovered Enron's hobby, so they went on a crazy spree to expand the company's net profit and revenue indefinitely.
After all, he hadn't visited the company for so long and didn't know the actual operating situation. The higher the profits were described, the more lucrative it would seem to him, and he would lower his guard. With this in mind, the senior executives became even more enthusiastic.
An Ran shook her head, realizing she could only pin her hopes on the other team.
The actual operational situation within the company depends on the performance of the people who parted ways with him.
The fake meeting ended shortly afterward. An Ran heard her phone vibrate and checked it to find a message from the same couple from before.
There are quite a few people who are incapable of getting into the company through illegitimate means.
Upon seeing this sentence, An Ran felt even more confident. From the moment he saw them, he had witnessed several employees struggling to complete even basic tasks. He had initially attributed this to nervousness, but now the reason was clear.
Given how things have become at the company, they still want to keep it from him.
So, An Ran, furious, convened a meeting. In the large conference room, everyone sat quietly. An Ran slammed the documents in her hand onto the table and sternly explained the situation she had discovered to the supervisors.
"The company is full of good-for-nothings, how can it generate such high profits?" An Ran looked at the sycophantic faces below and felt instantly disgusted, wanting to vomit.
"Do you really think I'm just here to make a show of things today?" An Ran thought to himself that if he hadn't secretly made arrangements today, that group of people might have actually been fooled by them.
"Don't worry, Anran, we'll definitely find these people tomorrow. I want to see who dares to play tricks right under our noses," a middle-aged man who looked quite old said righteously as he stood up.
An Ran wasn't stupid; offering a way out depended on whether she was willing to laugh.
"I'm giving you a chance to correct yourselves. By tomorrow, kick out everyone who got in through connections. If you don't, you can't afford the consequences." After saying this, An Ran turned and left the meeting room.
As soon as An Ran left the meeting room, the executives below began to whisper among themselves, and then went back to their respective departments to investigate the matter.
As for the investigation, it was just an open secret among everyone. How could they possibly conduct a thorough investigation? Besides, almost every department had people sent in by the board of directors, and they couldn't afford to offend them.
So the investigation was just a pretext. It was simply a gathering of all the employees from each department, either to have a meal or to chat together. There was absolutely no mention of any favoritism or illegal entry into the company.
Those who got into the company through connections were initially filled with anxiety and fear of being suddenly fired after hearing An Ran say that there would be severe punishment and seeing the department heads starting to hold meetings. However, when they saw that they were having a meal or chatting, their anxiety instantly subsided.
Having shaken off my previous worries, I now casually chat with my colleagues, eat sunflower seeds, and have meals together.
An Ran wasn't one to be trifled with. He knew that those who got in through connections had senior executives covering for them. Such powerful backers weren't so easily taken down, so he secretly dispatched a group of people to investigate the movements of each executive.
