Therefore, it was only natural and timely that the various supervisors, while ostensibly investigating the matter, were actually just using company funds to treat their departments to meals.
This made An Ran, who was already very annoyed, even angrier.
The next day, Anran saw the report handed to her by the company's senior management. She noticed that it did not reveal any key information, nor did it disclose who had abused their power or gotten the job through connections.
Instead, they kept saying that their department had always had good systems and that such problems did not exist here. If it were just one or two departments saying this, it would be one thing, but almost all the departments were saying the same thing today, so how could he not be suspicious?
So when An Ran saw the numbers had gone off the charts again, she immediately convened a high-level meeting.
Furthermore, at the high-level meeting, they directly read out the investigations and results conducted by each department on these issues.
After calmly reading through all the reports from various departments on the deals he had been awarded, he forcefully threw down the documents in his hand and looked at everyone.
Some of the senior executives sitting below were already sweating profusely. They were inwardly questioning themselves: should they have mentioned a few people earlier? But these people who got in through connections were not people they could afford to offend.
Some executives, due to their strong connections and the fact that they were on the company's floor, did not change their expressions at all in the face of An Ran's questioning, and did not even give An Ran a glance. They simply sat calmly in their seats.
An Ran looked at the executives in front of her, who were like a disorganized mess. If even the company's top executives were so lax and irresponsible, how could the employees below do their jobs properly? The company's profits would definitely decline year after year.
How can one stand out in such a highly competitive industry?
Anran looked at the most arrogant director closest to him and asked him a question.
"Director Lin, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer regarding this matter."
"What's there to say? Isn't it clearly stated in this document? No one in our department got in by cheating; everyone was recruited through the proper examinations."
Chairman Lin was still looking at An Ran with disdain. Director Li thought An Ran was still a naive young girl who had just started out. He had more experience than An Ran, so why was he lecturing her so arrogantly?
In addition, An Ran has been away from the company for a while. So she was practically a boss in the company before. Now most of the senior members are on her side, and she wants to see what An Ran has to offer in order to yell at her. With just one word from her, most of the senior members in the company will follow her.
An Ran was well aware of Director Lin's position in the company, so he needed to make an example of her to deter others. If he couldn't control her, everyone below would fall into chaos.
Just as Director Lin was about to embarrass An Ran further, someone knocked on the door, and An Ran's confidant entered.
These past few days, An Ran had sent him to investigate which department and which employee in the company got in through connections. Today, he finally fulfilled his mission and identified all the people in the company who got in through connections.
So the new server walked up to An Ran and respectfully handed her a folder.
"You've worked hard these past few days, go and rest first!" An Ran took the folder, but didn't rush to look at it. Instead, he arranged for his trusted confidants to rest first, and then turned his attention to the other senators.
However, this time An Ran's gaze towards the sensible boy held a hint of mockery.
The other directors, of course, knew who the person who had just come in was. So when they saw that person hand An Ran a folder, they knew something was wrong; An Ran was going to settle accounts with them.
"Chairman Lin, what were you about to say?" Chairman Li asked when he saw An Ran casually open a folder, which happened to be the one for his department.
At this moment, Chairman Lin lost face.
"I said our department doesn't have it, so that's it. How do you know if what you're saying is true or false?" Although Chairman Li knew that the truth would eventually come out, he would rather die than lose face by having her deny what he wanted to say in front of so many people, so he remained defiant.
An Ran's calm and composed expression contrasted sharply with the flustered Chairman Li.
Sitting to the side, Hogg was also shocked by An Ran. She did not expect An Ran to have made such rapid progress over such a long period of time, transforming from a little girl into a mature and strong woman.
"Whether these lists are real or fake, we can verify them easily. I wonder if anyone has the time?" An Ran calmly spoke, noticing Chairman Li wiping the cold sweat from his brow every now and then.
“Our company needs talent, not these good-for-nothings. I gave you a chance yesterday because you’ve done a lot for the company over the years and are long-term employees. Since you didn’t cherish it, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” As he spoke, he made a phone call and summoned the HR department.
"Fire everyone on this list." Then, to everyone's astonishment, he calmly removed all the people on the list.
“Okay, Mr. An…” The HR manager was a little taken aback when he saw so many people on the list, and these people all had important connections. However, he did not dare to disobey the chairman’s decision, so he accepted it with a slight humility.
"Wait, there's him too." An Ran gave the HR manager a wink, signaling that Chairman Lin should also be fired.
This put the HR manager in a difficult position. Director Lin's position was above that of the HR department, so how could he dare to make this decision? Therefore, she looked to An Ran for help.
Sitting next to An Ran, Chairman Lin was filled with astonishment when he heard An Ran say those words and look at him.
He stood up in a panic, pointing at An Ran.
"Do you know what position I hold in the company right now? If you dare to fire me, half of the company will follow me, and you'll just be an empty shell." Chairman Lin played his last card.
"We need to recruit more talent in the future. I want to see results. As long as the results are high, the profits for each director will be increased by 2 percentage points. You can weigh the pros and cons yourselves." An Ran didn't even look at Director Lin directly, but instead casually uttered these words.
The directors sitting below were shocked to hear that their dividends would increase by 2%. That was a huge sum of money. So many of them looked at Chairman Lin with obvious disdain.
Indeed, everyone will unhesitatingly choose profit over friendship, because only profit is a lasting friend. Enron precisely grasped this principle, which is why it was able to address the root cause and retain these long-time employees and conservatives. Although they had made many mistakes, they still possessed the skills and abilities to create value for the company.
