"Of course, if you want to follow President Li to make a comeback, then I won't object. You can leave, but once you step out of this door, you will have no further connection with this company."
An Ran looked at the employees in front of him, most of whom had already turned against him, but he still wanted to embarrass Chairman Lin, so he deliberately asked.
“President Gu, what are you saying? We are born into this company and we will die for it.” A senior employee with considerable influence stood up and said to An Ran.
To show his sincerity, he even gave Chairman Lin a look of utter contempt.
Since everyone wishes to stay, please pack up. We'll continue our meeting this afternoon regarding company profit sharing and recruitment. "Director Lin... oh, I should say Mr. Lin, we're about to hold an internal company meeting. If you need anything, please go to the front desk. Goodbye, and don't bother seeing us out."
After An Ran finished speaking, she didn't even glance at Chairman Lin, leaving him trembling with anger as she strode out.
A large board meeting was reconvened in the afternoon. Several retired directors were unable to attend, so the meeting was held via video conference.
At this meeting, Anran explained the decision he had made that day.
The directors with fewer shares naturally didn't say anything, but the directors with more shares felt they had the right and the obligation to manage the company, so they questioned Anran about why she did this. They asked if Lin, a long-time employee, could handle things on his own after she fired him.
She also stated that if Director Lin was not brought back, she would not continue as the director and would seek another job.
These employees weren't genuinely sorry for Director Lin; rather, they felt that since she dared to fire such a senior employee, she might turn on them one day. They wanted to teach her a lesson now, lest she dare to challenge them later.
An Ran had anticipated this outcome, so he presented the company's profits over the years. In recent years, An Ran had not been involved in the company's operations, leaving him as the sole director. This resulted in some decisions being made too arbitrarily, causing the company to lose a considerable amount of money.
“If you still think I should invite Chairman Lin back, then I think you don’t need to stay here. You can go and catch up with him,” An Ran said after throwing out this sentence at the old man who was still rambling on and on.
"I laid him off entirely for the company's benefit. Afterwards, the company will recruit a lot of talent. This will continuously increase profits, and once profits reach a certain level, your bonuses will increase by 2 percentage points. How about that?"
Many board members previously felt that Anran's approach to things was too impulsive, but upon hearing that their dividends would increase, they immediately fell silent, including the one who had been the most vocal before.
The director who spoke the most vehemently just now had been working for fifty or sixty years. He understood the implication in An Ran's words: if he continued to insist, his only option would be to leave the company.
However, the company's future development is particularly good, and since the dividends for each director are going to be increased, why not? So he immediately shut his mouth. Although he didn't give An Ran a good look throughout the process, at least he didn't oppose the decisions An Ran made.
So the meeting was successfully completed.
Enron also introduced a new test to determine whether each department had truly capable and useful personnel. Only those who passed this assessment could stay; those who failed were considered to have slipped through the net earlier.
Furthermore, An Ran kept the upcoming exam a very secret, with no word leaking out beforehand. So when a set of exam papers was distributed to everyone, they were all completely bewildered.
Of course, Anran does offer some support to newcomers to the company; as long as they can answer some basic questions, they can stay on.
This farce was just beginning to unfold during this tense half-day exam.
Looking at the densely packed exam papers in his hand, Hogg instantly felt even more admiration for An Ran. He had previously wondered why An Ran had asked him to create a set of exam papers tailored to the different responsibilities of each department.
I never imagined it would have this effect. The thought that this could be used to select those who are truly talented made Hogg's eyes widen, fearing he might miss a talented person or let in a mediocre one.
"Those with exceptional abilities and those with exceptionally poor abilities should all be listed here with me." After saying this, An Ran went home. He still needed to talk to his beloved daughter after finishing his work for the day.
As Anran stepped into the house, the familiar ringtone sounded again; her daughter had called her on time with a video call. The moment she answered, she heard her daughter's soft, sweet voice and her husband's deep, sexy voice.
It's been so long since we last saw each other, I really miss it all. I miss my husband's delicious cooking, and I miss my daughter's embrace. It's time to wrap this up and go back to work.
The next day, Hogg handed An Ran the test scores he had compiled overnight. An Ran looked at the scores, which were divided into three sections.
After a quick glance, An Ran convened a general meeting.
At this meeting, Enron publicly announced the best and worst performance results. Those employees who performed terribly poorly were dismissed on the spot without any leniency.
Those employees who scored high on the selection process were directly promoted to supervisors. Of course, there was a three-month probationary period for these supervisors. If any of their subordinates were dissatisfied or performed poorly, they would be immediately dismissed or demoted to their original level.
“We conduct an annual assessment, and the person who scores the highest in each department may become the head of your department, while the original head will be demoted.”
Enron's intention with this system is to create pressure within each department, motivating every employee to work diligently and thus increasing the company's profitability.
After finishing her speech, An Ran also gave each new manager a 10,000 yuan red envelope. This made the employees sitting below extremely envious, and their hearts were filled with fighting spirit.
After the meeting, Anran instructed the HR manager to recruit some talented and capable people to join the company as soon as possible. This would help improve efficiency more quickly.
Watching An Ran's elaborate scheme unfold, Hogg was filled with admiration. An Ran's skill level was truly rising. She admired An Ran more and more.
