Chapter 48 Replacement and Strict Rewards and Punishments
After the meeting, a preliminary consensus on cooperation was reached.
The general manager took everyone to the mechanized automatic control room to observe the product debugging and operation.
In the evening, we went to the restaurant that had been booked in advance to entertain our partners.
People were clinking glasses and talking and laughing at the table.
There were more than 20 people in the private room. The hot dishes on the table were steaming. Pei Yuning felt dizzy after staying there for too long, so she left the table to get some fresh air on the pretext of touching up her makeup.
It had started raining outside, and the bluestone bricks on the first-floor courtyard were soaked. In the pond, ripples were forming on the surface of the water.
Pei Yuning thought of Shang Yanci at this moment. He wondered what he was doing now and whether he had eaten on time.
She felt a weight on her shoulders and lowered her eyes. A dark blue suit was put on her.
Song Jingyu walked to her side and looked at the rain outside the window: "It's very cold at night. You'll be away on business for a few days. Don't catch a cold and make your family worry about you."
Pei Yuning recalled the time when he helped her find data for her thesis and chuckled, "You are still so helpful."
After saying this, Pei Yuning took off his suit and handed it back to him: "But no, thank you for your kindness. I'm married, and I have to have the consciousness of a married person."
Song Jingyu's eyes fell on the wedding ring on her left ring finger. He reached out to take the suit and said in an ambiguous way, "The one in your family is a little jealous."
Pei Yuning raised the corners of her lips, shook her head, and said seriously: "It's not that he is jealous, it's me. If my husband handed a suit to a woman he knew on a rainy day, even if I know in my heart that this is just a gentleman's act without any emotion, I still can't help but get angry."
Song Jingyu smiled faintly: "So, it seems that you two have a good relationship."
Pei Yuning looked at the endless spring rain, her delicate eyebrows and eyes gently smiling: "Yeah."
The two stood there in silence, listening to the rain for a while.
Pei Yuning gradually felt a little cold: "Boss Song, I'll go in first."
Song Jingyu: "Let's have dinner together sometime. It's fate that we met in City A."
Pei Yuning: "Then after I finish the company's work in the next few days, I will treat Mr. Song to a meal before returning to Beijing."
Song Jingyu nodded: "Okay."
The two walked towards the private room together. Song Jingyu opened the door and raised his hand to signal Pei Yuning to go in first.
Pei Yuning: "Thank you."
After entering the room and taking in the scene, Pei Yuning looked indifferent.
There were two tables in the private room. One table was occupied by Pei Yuning, the company's backbones and partners, mostly men. The other table was occupied by the company's secretaries and marketing staff, mostly women.
At this moment, the general manager was half-embracing a young female employee and drinking, with his hands on her shoulders and kneading them, with a tendency to move downwards. The rim of the cup was pressed against the female employee's mouth, teasing her in a humiliating manner.
The men present either ate their food quietly or laughed and cheered, while the women lowered their heads and ignored it.
Pei Yuning walked over gracefully in her high heels, and said in a cold tone: "Why, I seem to have come in at an unlucky time?"
Song Jingyu looked at her back with interest.
The box suddenly became quiet, and everyone lowered their heads as if nothing had to do with it.
The general manager immediately stopped and stood up with an apologetic smile: "Boss Pei, that's what you said. Tonight is the welcoming party specially prepared for you. I just taught the newcomer a few words, I didn't mean anything else. I was drunk and couldn't stand steadily, so I leaned on her shoulder for a while."
Pei Yuning sat down at the main seat: "If you like educating others so much, why don't you work in the education industry? You want to educate everyone, what about me? You can also say something for me to listen to."
The general manager's forehead was sweating and he was very nervous: "Boss Pei, you are embarrassing me."
Pei Yuning said rudely, "Apologize to them, then get out and stand there. I'm sick of you being here."
The general manager's blood was boiling. He was drunk and said angrily, "Boss Pei, I am your elder at my age. Why can't you give me a little face?"
Pei Yuning raised the corners of her mouth, and said wantonly: "You have come to me to seek my help, who do you think you are? How dare you take advantage of your age in front of me?"
The general manager struggled again and again, and reluctantly apologized to the female employee, then left the box with his head hung like a bereaved dog.
Song Jingyu walked over and sat next to Pei Yuning.
The female clerk had just entered the workplace and this was the first time she encountered a situation like tonight where someone was forced to drink. If Pei Yuning hadn't appeared, she really didn't know how to deal with it.
Her eyes were red, she picked up the wine glass, stood up and toasted Pei Yuning: "Thank you, Mr. Pei."
Pei Yuning soothed him gently, "Sit down, no need to drink. I will definitely give you an explanation for what happened tonight."
"Thank you, Mr. Pei." The female staff member sat back in her seat and wiped her tears with a tissue.
Pei Yuning put away the gentleness on his face and turned cold again, like a rose with thorns. Every word he spoke echoed throughout the box: "The main company in Beijing North has never seen a situation like tonight. You subsidiaries in other cities are probably living too comfortably."
The deputy manager said sincerely: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei. I will issue a notice within the company now and will resolutely avoid such situations in the future."
Pei Yuning nonchalantly presided over life and death: "What happened tonight will not be the first time, nor will it be the biggest one. I'll give you a chance to move up. Before I leave City A, whoever finds the most scum will replace the one standing outside the door. If you officials protect each other and cover up for each other, then wait for me to investigate personally and see the truth."
Everyone agreed, their minds were in turmoil and undercurrents were surging.
Pei Yuning stood up, holding a glass of wine, and toasted Song Jingyu and all the staff of the cooperation party: "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality tonight. I'll personally prepare a banquet another day. As for what you saw and heard tonight, I hope you will forget it before leaving the box, and don't let rumors affect our future cooperation relationship."
Song Jingyu stood up and clinked his glasses with Pei Yuning: "Don't worry, President Pei, this is how it should be."
The other partners also stood up and responded to Pei Yuning.
Before meeting Pei Yuning, everyone thought she was a beautiful lady kept in a noble family and waiting for marriage.
Today, I found that Pei Yuning is a very capable girl. Although she is young, she knows how to act and is very dignified. She is strict in rewarding and punishing, and has a deep understanding of people's hearts. She should not be underestimated.
After dinner, Pei Yuning ignored the general manager standing at the door, walked out of the restaurant, said goodbye to Song Jingyu and his group, and left.
Sitting in the back seat, Pei Yuning sent a message to Pei Yunzhi: "Brother, fire the general manager of the subsidiary in City A. I want to replace him with a new one. Also, investigate the other subsidiaries below to see if there are any cases of bullying female employees at the drinking table, sexually harassing female employees at work, or forcing them to break the unspoken rules."
After returning to the hotel, Pei Yuning was about to go to the bathroom to wash up when Pei Yunzhi called.
Pei Yuning answered: "Brother."
Pei Yunzhi said in a deep voice: "Did the people in City A bully you?"
