"Okay, okay, Wanwan, you don't have to see me off. I'm so sorry!" Father Xu politely stood beside his car and politely declined Zhou Liwan's offer to see me off.

"It's okay. It's my duty as a junior." Zhou Liwan shook his head with a warm and clean smile. He looked at Xu Zimu who was about to get in the car and suddenly said, "Zimu, can I talk to you alone for a few minutes?"

Xu Zimu was stunned for a moment, but still followed Zhou Liwan into the garden.

There are not many flowers in the garden, only a small patch of sunflowers planted in the southeast corner, which are blooming facing the sun.

Zhou Liwan stopped and looked at Xu Zimu, with a hint of vigilance on her face that was as dazzling as a sunflower.

"Do you know what the first impression you gave me was?" Zhou Liwan looked straight into his eyes and said lightly.

Xu Zimu sneered and found it funny in his heart. It was not good to reveal his true nature in front of adults, so that's why he dragged himself to this place.

"There's no one here now, so you don't have to pretend to be a good girl. If you're really mad at me, I'll just stand here and let you punch me. Why are you talking so much nonsense!" Xu Zimu tilted his head nonchalantly with his hands in his pockets. After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and moved his face closer.

Zhou Liwan was not angry either. She smiled slightly, light but warm. She stretched out her hand and pushed the boy away, walking past him: "The first time I saw you, I remember you had red hair, very flamboyant, but your heart was confused and empty."

As if he was being stripped naked and looked at, Xu Zimu jumped up and down in shame: "Stop being so self-righteous here, what do you mean by hollow heart! You are just talking nonsense!"

Zhou Liwan turned around and looked at him steadily: "I know that you really want to join the army, go to the frontier of the motherland, and be a real man to defend the country, instead of that bastard boy from the Xu family!"

When Xu Zimu heard her words, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. His palms were hot, as if a pulse was beating from his heart: "How could you..."

[Everyone thought my dream was a joke, so I never told anyone about it seriously. Why did she see through it at first glance?]

Xu Zimu now really believed what had been circulating in the circle for some time.

It is said that the granddaughter of the old man of the Jiang family is a talented student of psychology. She can see through people's hearts and easily help those who have knots in their hearts to enlighten themselves.

Academician Jiang's granddaughter was cured of depression with just a few words from her.

"I believe you." Zhou Liwan's eyes were full of determination. Her parents didn't believe him in this matter, so how could she, an outsider, be so sure?

Xu Zimu's throat was a little dry. He swallowed unnaturally, his pupils trembling a little: "Why do you trust me so much? Even I don't trust myself."

"How do you know you can't do it if you don't try? I have a feeling you will get what you want!"

With the girl's firm encouragement, Xu Zimu felt as if a fire was burning all over his body. His head was hot, as if something was about to break through all shackles.

"Okay, I'll take your good words!" After saying this, Xu Zimu turned and left, the enthusiasm in his eyes comparable to the scorching sun in summer.

Zhou Liwan was quite happy to see that his persuasion was somewhat useful.

As for why she was so sure that Xu Zimu would successfully join the army, it was because she just remembered.

At my grandfather’s farewell ceremony in my previous life, there seemed to be a man in camouflage clothes appearing.

Although I don’t remember his face, it should be Xu Zimu.

It was another morning and Zhou Liwan got up early.

Thanks to Wang Jing, the company is now well-known. Last night, the marketing department told me that the pre-sales in the second half of the year will far exceed 20% of previous years.

However, the company's factory was understaffed and production could not be achieved.

In addition, many of the previous raw material manufacturers were unable to complete delivery on time.

There were too many things to do to be solved in a short time, so Zhou Liwan thought it would be better to go to the company early and start working officially.

It was the same conference room that was full of reporters a few days ago.

Zhou Liwan sat in the first seat with his arms folded across his chest, looking at the group of employees below who were hanging their heads and keeping silent, his face grim.

"This is my first general meeting since I officially took over Wanbao. I'm sure everyone is aware that the company is currently in a period of great turmoil. However, orders have surged at this time, which is not a good thing for Wanbao who is not prepared."

Zhou Liwan continued in a deep voice, "If everyone still acts as if this has nothing to do with me, then I'm sorry that I can't keep you."

The scene was still in complete silence. Zhou Liwan looked towards the marketing department, but he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Zhou Liwan's eyes were cold, and he was about to notify the HR department when a neat-looking girl with a big bun sitting against the wall stood up and said, "Chairman, I have a way to temporarily resolve this crisis, but I don't know if it will work."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became subtle. After the girl stood up, many people showed weird expressions.

From time to time, they would look at each other, and then chuckle knowingly.

Zhou Liwan felt really uncomfortable watching this, but the most important thing at the moment was Wanbao's survival, so she looked at the girl with approval.

Regardless of whether she can really come up with any useful suggestions, her courage to stand up at this time deserves special attention.

After all, in this mess, whoever steps forward will be in trouble.

This is how the workplace is now. People don’t seek achievement, but only peace and safety.

Among this group of people who are content with the status quo, if there is anyone who dares or is willing to stand out, he will instantly become the object of private discussion and ridicule by everyone.

"Just say it." Zhou Liwan said.

The girl smiled, looking a little nervous, took a few deep breaths, and spoke with a firm look.

"Because our online store is for pre-sale rather than spot goods, this is the easiest to solve. As long as we promise that the goods will not be shipped at the originally scheduled time, we will give away all the classic random blind boxes. Now the main thing is to meet the needs of offline physical merchants who have signed contracts and stabilize customer reputation."

"The other issue is the supplier. I personally think that if the supplier fails to deliver on time, it is the supplier's responsibility and they should be severely evaluated. If they cannot deliver the raw materials as soon as possible, Wanbao will never cooperate with them again! And the same goes for Jiang's."

When Zhou Liwan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a deep meaning in his tone: "You want me to move out of Jiang's?"

The girl looked at Zhou Liwan carefully, and her eyes were no longer tense. "Yeah, I think this is a critical moment for Wanbao's survival. Since we can increase the threat level and make them feel a sense of urgency, then why are we hesitating?"

A girl who had been rolling her eyes just now immediately said, "If this matter gets out, the chairman will be laughed at to death in the future."
