Feng Zhiyao couldn't understand Lu Feng's words, just like he sometimes couldn't understand what his father said.
Lu Feng shifted the topic to life, mostly talking about interesting things. Feng Zhiyao is very busy now, meeting with many executives of listed companies every day, and he has lost contact with his old friends who used to drift sports cars together.
He said life was very boring. Every day he would go to the company after waking up, attend endless meetings, meet countless people, day after day, without any vitality.
Lu Feng couldn't help but laugh after hearing his sigh. He wondered how many people envied his life, while he found it boring.
"Welcome to the adult world. There's not much happiness in the adult world. It's all just busyness. You have to learn to adapt. Life is about finding joy in hardship. You're already very fortunate. Most people in this world suffer in hardship." Lu Feng glanced at the time and saw that it was already past 10 p.m. He said to Feng Zhiyao, "It's getting late. Get some rest."
With the conclusion of the board meeting, the profit distribution plan was announced. Three days later, at a meeting of the R&D company, Liu Cheng announced this year's budget and profit distribution. Everyone was disappointed upon learning the figures. At the meeting, it was also announced that Yang Fuqun would be promoted and transferred to headquarters.
Yang Fuqun was furious upon hearing this. He disregarded everything else and directly questioned who made the decision regarding Liucheng.
Liu Cheng increasingly felt that this General Manager Yang was lawless. He simply told him to go to work according to the rules and not to ask any other questions. Yang Fuqun slammed his fist on the table and shouted that this was retaliation. The company should belong to everyone, not be a one-man show. He said he would talk to the board of directors.
After Yang Fuqun finished speaking, he left on the spot. No one dared to speak. His attitude of not intending to continue the job really frightened everyone.
After the meeting, Liu Cheng went directly to the human resources department of the R&D company and had his office closed, so that people from headquarters could take over.
Yang Fuqun naturally went to see Goodley, who assured him on the spot that he would be fine. In less than two days, Yang Fuqun's position was transferred to the group's administration, where he was responsible for the group's internal management, including the maintenance of desks, chairs, and printers. Yang Fuqun approached Wei Yandan several times, believing that the company was making things difficult for him and that he should return to the R&D company.
Goodley also spoke with Wei Yandan several times, believing that this was a waste of talent, and that President Yang had not made any mistakes. He argued that it was wrong to make things difficult for someone just because they spoke loudly.
Wei Yandan was extremely annoyed, and Gudley would report to the board of directors at the drop of a hat. In less than three days after the board meeting, the board members had communicated by phone four or five times, more than in the previous whole year.
Wei Yandan could only try to find another department, so she arranged for Yang Fuqun to go to the marketing department through the headquarters' personnel department. However, Yang Fuqun still caused trouble.
Zhu Lidong had just finished a meeting and entered his office. He had been under a lot of pressure these past few days. The year-end bonuses had made his subordinates unhappy, and the mobile phone business had been taken away by Du Guoying, so his subordinates also had a lot of complaints about him.
There was a knock on the office door, and Zhu Lidong, without looking up, said, "Come in!"
Yang Fuqun pushed open the door and walked in, saying to Zhu Lidong with a dissatisfied tone, "President Zhu, the HR department transferred me to the marketing department. I'm here, and I've been assigned to do market research, but I don't understand anything about it. I'm also assigned to meet monthly performance targets. If I don't meet the targets, will they fire me next?"
Zhu Lidong looked up at him, lit a cigarette, and said, "If you don't know how, just learn. Everything is a learning process. You can't just give up because you don't know how, right?"
"I demand to be transferred back to the R&D company, otherwise I will continue to appeal to the board of directors. I believe the board can give a fair result," Yang Fuqun said in a deep voice.
"Go ahead and complain to the board of directors! Why are you making a scene here? Let me tell you, here, no matter who you are, if you don't meet your targets, don't even think about getting a bonus. If you don't meet your targets in three months, you're fired!" Zhu Lidong yelled at him, "Get out!"
Yang Fuqun turned and left with a gloomy face. He called Goodley, and an hour later, Goodley and Yang Fuqun knocked on Zhu Lidong's office door.
"Come in!"
Goodley walked in and looked at Zhu Lidong, saying, "Mr. Zhu, you're busy, aren't you? Mr. Yang's matter is indeed not very suitable. He is an engineer, and it's a waste of his talents to do market research. I recently raised this issue with the board of directors. John said that we still need to do a good job of matching talent with positions so that the company can develop better."
Zhu Lidong looked at the two men, realizing they had brought in reinforcements, and snorted twice, saying, "John? Doesn't the board of directors not interfere in management? Your position doesn't seem to have any jurisdiction over me, does it?"
Goodley thought Zhu Lidong didn't understand the current situation, so he said, "The board of directors doesn't interfere in management, but next year's board meeting will still discuss the retention or dismissal of the management team. Of course, I can't control you. I'm only here to see you as a personal friend, and I hope you'll consider it."
"Is that so? I've already given you a lot of face. Do you believe I can send him to Africa to do business? Then he'll only be able to see chimpanzees baring their teeth. Don't try to pressure me with the board of directors." Zhu Lidong took a deep drag on his cigarette and looked at Goodley, saying, "You've found such a powerful backer, haven't you? Fine, I'll do what others dare not do, and I'll handle the things that might offend people. Now, I'm officially informing you that you're fired."
"Is that giving you enough face?"
Zhu Lidong stared at Goodley and asked.
Yang Fuqun panicked instantly and quietly nudged Gudely's back. Gudely was helpless at this moment; he really hadn't expected that these executives would be so unyielding.
"Since President Zhu is so disrespectful, then let's meet at next year's board meeting." Goodley stood up, snorted coldly, and left.
