“Last time you asked me to go to the hospital director and have him deal with that loose-lipped department head. When I got there, I found out that the department head had paid his way up. Then I saw that the director’s office had a lot of stuff, so I found a car to bring it all back.”
Lu Xi explained to Lu Fan how she obtained these ornaments, but deliberately did not mention that she did so in Lu Fan's name.
"These must all be gifts he received. With his salary, he couldn't afford these things even if he died."
Looking at all these decorative items, Lu Fan picked up a plate.
After taking a look, he concluded that it was at least from the Qing Dynasty, and then said to Lu Xi with some emotion.
"Don't even think about these things. Once they're in my pocket, they're all mine."
Seeing Lu Fan's drooling expression, Lu Xi quickly took the plate back, put it back on the shelf, and said to Lu Fan.
"What do I need all this stuff for? I'm just lamenting that as the company grows bigger, the people inside become more and more diverse. How can we get everyone in the company to work together towards the same goal?"
Lu Fan sat down on the sofa. Although the things in the office were nice, Lu Fan didn't think much of them. He sighed and said to Lu Xi.
"Punish them with harsh measures and see if anyone else dares to do this again!"
After listening to Lu Fan's words, Lu Xi knew what her brother was going to say, and then told Lu Fan how she would handle the situation.
"By the way, how's the company doing these days?"
Lu Fan didn't want to rack his brains over such a thing, so he asked Lu Xi.
"Now Qi-jie and I are ready to launch our software on the market at any time. We're just waiting for your order."
Upon hearing Lu Fan inquire about the company's situation, Lu Xi proudly addressed him.
"Why don't you just listen to my order and get ready to start? Of all my businesses, this one isn't making money; in fact, it's losing money. Hurry up and let your brother see if it will turn a profit."
When Lu Fan heard that Lu Xi had finished preparing, but hadn't started launching the product yet, he looked at Lu Xi with a helpless expression.
"Brother, have you forgotten what you said before? Didn't you tell me and Sister Qi that this is a special time, and everyone is watching you? If the company is established now, it will be easy for them to suppress us?"
Lu Xi looked at her brother's complaining expression, then said to Lu Fan...
"Uh, oh."
Lu Fan, who was initially annoyed by Lu Xi's actions, suddenly remembered that he was the one who had given the order, and then he wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.
"Should we release the software now?"
"Let go. Right now, the entire Jiang Group is in a slump. If you can open up the market here, the entire company's funds can be directed towards you."
Lu Fan thought about it carefully. He realized that it wouldn't work if the business didn't open indefinitely, especially since the company was going through a very difficult time. He gritted his teeth and said to Lu Xi.
"Great! I'll have Sister Qi put the software up for sale right away and send out the initial promotional materials as soon as possible."
Upon hearing that Lu Fan had a large amount of funds available for investment, Lu Xi was so happy she almost jumped for joy. While talking, she was about to call Nangong Qi.
"Don't fight yet."
Seeing that Lu Xi was about to make the arrangements, Lu Fan quickly stopped her.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Lu Xi, who was originally happy, was stopped and looked at Lu Fan with a puzzled expression. He had just been about to invest in them, but now he had stopped her. She thought Lu Fan was going to back out.
“Now that your sister-in-law is managing the company, it wouldn’t be right for me not to discuss this decision with her. So, why don’t you go next door tonight…” Just as Lu Xi was about to make a phone call, Lu Fan remembered that he had forgotten something very important and said to Lu Xi.
Then, after thinking about it, he gave Lu Xi an idea.
"Will this really work?"
After listening to Lu Fan's words, Lu Xi was somewhat unwilling to believe it and asked Lu Fan.
"If you don't want the funds, then you don't have to believe me."
Seeing the doubt in his sister's eyes, Lu Fan said to Lu Xi indifferently whether or not to open the business.
"I'm trusting you this time. If it doesn't work, then you'll have to get the money for me yourself."
Having no other choice, Lu Xi could only trust her unreliable older brother this once. The company had been dragging its feet on opening, and the expenses for the employees were already a huge sum. Just keeping these people around without doing anything else could bankrupt the company.
"Where did your sister Qi go?"
Lu Fan had been here for so long but hadn't seen Nangong Qi, so he asked Lu Xi in confusion.
"Sister Qi has some things to take care of at home, and the company hasn't opened yet, so I asked her to go and do other things first."
When Lu Fan asked about Nangong Qi, Lu Xi told him about Nangong Qi.
"I'll be going now. By the way, are you going to eat next door for lunch?"
Looking at the time, he was surprised to find that an hour had been wasted. Fortunately, Lu Fan had already called the restaurant to have the food prepared in advance. He got up to leave, but as he walked to the door, he turned around and asked Lu Xi.
"I won't be going over there at noon today. There's still some trash in the company. We're opening soon, and we need to clean it all up."
In response to Lu Fan's words, Lu Xi checked the time, shook her head, and told Lu Fan what she was planning to do.
"Okay, don't forget tonight!"
Seeing what his sister was planning to do, Lu Fan nodded, opened the door, and walked out of the office.
"Secretary, notify all the managers to have a meeting in the conference room!" After Lu Fan left, Lu Xi picked up the phone on the table and spoke into the other end of the line.
As Lu Fan was walking downstairs, he saw some people rushing to the conference room. He knew that his sister was going to reorganize the company, so he left quickly without stopping.
Is everyone here?
Ten minutes later, Lu Xi walked out of the office and into the conference room. She sat down in her chair, looked around, and then asked her secretary.
"Except for the supervisor you just fired, everyone else has arrived."
The secretary glanced at the people who had come, then reported to Lu Xi.
Her voice wasn't lowered at all, and everyone in the office could hear it clearly. Since it had just happened, no one had heard the news of someone being fired, and everyone was a little surprised, wondering why Lu Xi would fire someone.
"Well, now that everyone is here, I mainly want to talk about two things in today's meeting."
After becoming the chairperson, Lu Xi's entire demeanor changed. She was no longer the unreasonable little girl she used to be, but a decisive and efficient female boss.
All the department heads sat up straight, knowing that Lu Xi had just fired a manager. They looked around at the faces and knew who had been fired, and listened attentively.
