Chapter 180 The Early-Death Second-Generation Star in an Urban Entertainment Novel (Part 7)
After dinner, Mr. Jiang said that everything was settled with the company. They had bought the vacant land around the factory, hired a construction team, signed the contract, and ordered the equipment. They were just waiting for the factory to be completed and put into operation.
Money paved the way, and everything went smoothly. Jiang's father was so busy that he was rarely home, and Jiang's mother also took on a role in a campus drama, playing a teacher. Jiang Yue asked Bai Ze to check it out, and it turned out to be one of those dramas that wouldn't become popular. She originally wanted to persuade Jiang's mother, but Jiang's mother knew that she was just bored at home and wanted to get some exercise. Since it wasn't going to be a hit, she let her go.
While Jiang's parents were busy, Jiang Yue was also keeping busy. Her grandparents missed her, so she went back to visit them. She took the opportunity to give everyone the pills so they could live a few more years and maybe even until our country went into space, where they could play virtual games and such.
Jiang Yue now posts pictures of delicious food in the group chat every day during mealtimes. Since the two families live close by, they eat at this restaurant one day and that restaurant the next, and she's incredibly happy every day. Jiang's parents are extremely envious.
After spending more than half a month in her hometown and confirming that her mother's health had improved, Jiang Yue decided to go out for a stroll. Her first stop was the film set where her mother was shooting a movie. She picked up some pickled vegetables and cured meat that her grandparents had made and set off. These were all her mother's favorite foods. Her mother's RV had a place to cook, so she didn't take them for nothing.
After arriving in the neighboring city, Jiang Yue rented a hotel near the film set. She waited until after 10 p.m. before her mother finished filming. That night, she had dinner with her mother. The next day, she went to the film set to take a look and bought some fruit and drinks for the crew. She noticed that the male and female leads were recently popular idol stars, and the female lead later became quite famous.
During the set visit, a small incident occurred. Jiang Yue had previously been trending on social media, and the director recognized her and invited her to join the company. He said, "Someone from the company sent you a private message on Douyin before, but you didn't reply. Are you interested in joining the entertainment industry?"
"Haha, director, thank you for the invitation, but I have no interest in this industry. Thank you for your kind offer."
After the little incident, Jiang Yue stayed with her mother for a few days before leaving. As the weather turned cold, Jiang Yue didn't stay outside for long either, and went home to keep her father company. After returning home, she asked Aunt Sun to cook more food, and Jiang Yue took a food box to visit her father. With Jiang Yue's investment and the support of the government, her father's company had expanded considerably, and he was still busy with company matters even after several months.
It was lunchtime when Jiang Yue arrived at the company. Since graduating, she had been coming to the company more often, and the company security guards and receptionist all recognized her. She arrived at her father's office without any problems. Her father was just about to go downstairs for lunch when he saw Jiang Yue carrying a lunchbox and said to her, "My dear daughter, Daddy is starving! Hurry up!"
Jiang Yue rolled her eyes at her father but didn't say anything. He did look quite haggard. After Aunt Sun laid out the food, her father started eating. He seemed extremely hungry. While her father was eating, Jiang Yue told him about the health of her grandparents and maternal grandparents. After she finished speaking, her father patted Jiang Yue's shoulder and said with relief, "Yue'er has grown up and become sensible."
Jiang Yue asked about the company's progress, and her father explained it to her. At this rate, the work wouldn't be finished even by the Chinese New Year. Her father's eyes darted around and he said, "Yue'er, you're not doing anything at home, why don't you help your old man out? It'll be good for you to get familiar with the business in advance."
Jiang Yue thought about it and agreed. Otherwise, her father would be busy for who knows how long. Seeing that Jiang Yue had agreed, her father was all smiles. He added a table to the office and planned to teach her personally. After a few days of this, Jiang Yue got a good grasp of the company's situation and then asked Bai Ze to customize a management system to make it easier to manage the company.
Jiang Yue happened to be a computer science major, so this was a good fit for her. After finishing the project, she showed it to her father, and then had it tested in a department. A month later, the entire company was using the system, and efficiency improved significantly. During this time, Jiang Yue's abilities became well-known. She had strong technical skills and good management abilities, and soon she gained the recognition of all the company's employees.
Seeing how capable Jiang Yue was, her father, the sixth son, simply handed the company over to her and ran away. When Jiang Yue went to the company, she found out that she had become the chairman and that her father had retired. Jiang Yue was so angry that she took out her phone to call and yell at him, but unexpectedly, her father turned off his phone and took her mother on a trip.
Later, when Jiang Yue confronted him, he said matter-of-factly, "I'm over forty years old, and I haven't spent much time with your mother in the past twenty years. You're in your twenties, and you're just lazing around at home all day. How can you be so shameless? Besides, you'll be with someone sooner or later, it'll just be a few years earlier."
With things having come to this point, Jiang Yue didn't have any good options. She couldn't just walk away. Since she had never managed a company before, she could treat it as a learning experience. When Jiang Yue took over, the people in the company accepted her well. First, Jiang Yue's abilities were recognized. Second, the company was originally 100% owned by Jiang's father. Third, the company had recently received a capital injection of 1 billion yuan, and those in the know understood that it was Jiang's daughter who had earned the money. The foundation had already been laid long ago.
The first thing Jiang Yue did after taking over the company was to raise salaries. All employees received a 10% raise to appease them. These days, people work to earn money. As the old saying goes, if you earn 3,000 a month, I'm your father; if you earn 30,000 a month, you're my grandfather. If the money is right, everything is negotiable.
Then she talked to the management. Bai Ze was in charge of screening. Those with strong abilities would be kept, and those without would be replaced. Anyway, she had no relationship with them. As for causing trouble, she could ask them if they dared to. The evidence was still in Jiang Yue's hands. Not prosecuting was already giving them face. Those who needed to be cleaned up were cleaned up, and those who needed to be promoted were promoted. As the New Year approached, the atmosphere of the whole company changed and became more energetic.
This is Jiang Yue's first year taking over the company, and she has given generous New Year's benefits. Jiang Yue did not follow the previous practice. When she was working, she hated receiving gifts during the New Year because the gifts were not very good. Every year, she would take them home and give them away. This year, Jiang Yue made a change and gave them money directly, letting them buy whatever they liked.
As expected, the employees were overjoyed. Why give them something that looks good but is useless? It would be much better to just give them money. After arranging the staff for the New Year's duty shift, Jiang Yue went home. When she got home, her parents also came back. When her father saw Jiang Yue, he wanted to run away and seemed a little guilty. Jiang Yue looked at her father but didn't say anything. What could she do now that the die was cast?
Mr. Jiang handed Jiang Yue the gift he had bought for her. Jiang Yue looked at it, smiled, and hugged her father. Mr. Jiang knew that the matter was over and happily hugged Jiang Yue back. After staying at home for a few days, the family went back to their hometown for the Chinese New Year. Whether you have money or not, you have to go home for the New Year. During the New Year, when the elders learned that Mr. Jiang had left the company to Jiang Yue and gone out to play, his grandparents and maternal grandparents collectively criticized him for several days, saying that he was too old to be reliable.
After learning that Jiang Yue managed things very well, they began to praise her again. Jiang Yue went to work at the company on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Her parents didn't return home until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. A few days after returning home, she and her mother went out to play again, which made Jiang Yue extremely envious.
