The project manager, sweating profusely, spoke rapidly: "President Liu, something terrible has happened! Production line number three has malfunctioned, and the product quality inspection results are unsatisfactory. This entire batch of goods will probably have to be reworked!" Liu Lu took a deep breath, suppressing her frustration.
"What exactly happened?"
The manager quickly explained, "Our initial assessment is that the problem lies with the raw materials, but the supplier insists they meet the standards. We're at an impasse, and the production line has been shut down." This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
The joy of the celebration banquet was instantly dampened as Liu Lu realized that the problems within the group were more serious than she had imagined.
Secretary Chen looked at Liu Lu with concern: "President Liu, similar incidents have been occurring frequently recently, and various departments have experienced delays and mistakes to varying degrees. I suspect..." She paused, "I suspect that there are management loopholes within the group, and someone is deliberately dragging things down."
Liu Lu's gaze instantly sharpened. "Convene an emergency meeting immediately!"
The atmosphere in the conference room was heavy, and the heads of each department remained silent.
Liu Lu's expression was calm, yet she exuded an invisible pressure.
“Recently, some problems have arisen within the group, and I think everyone is aware of them.” She looked around, her tone calm and firm. “I hope everyone can be honest with each other and put all the problems on the table to solve them.”
At first, everyone hesitated, but with Liu Lu's insistence, some people finally began to tell the truth.
It turns out that during the group's rapid expansion, some management positions were promoted too quickly, resulting in some managers being unable to perform their duties effectively.
In addition, poor communication between departments and delayed information transmission have caused many unnecessary troubles.
Even more shockingly, some employees colluded privately to deliberately create delays for personal gain.
Liu Lu's face turned ashen after hearing the report.
She acted decisively, replacing several incompetent managers and establishing stricter new management systems.
At the same time, she personally went deep into various departments to conduct a comprehensive review of management processes, plugging loopholes and improving efficiency.
Under Liu Lu's decisive leadership, the group began to get back on track.
The employees gradually regained their confidence, and their work efficiency improved significantly.
Looking at the company gradually returning to order, Liu Lu rubbed her temples wearily.
At that moment, Secretary Chen walked in, holding a document in his hand.
"Mr. Liu, this is..." she hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Liu Lu took the document, glanced at it, and her expression changed.
"Get the car ready, let's go pick up Beibei from kindergarten."
Liu Lu drove to the kindergarten to pick up her daughter, Liu Bei.
As soon as the little girl got on the bus, she started chattering about the fun things that happened at kindergarten. Her clear laughter dispelled the lingering gloom in Liu Lu's heart.
Back home, Liu Bei suddenly said, "Mom, all the kids at kindergarten are so envious of me! They say you're amazing!" Liu Lu smiled and patted her daughter's head, "Beibei is amazing too!" Liu Bei's eyes darted around, and she said mysteriously, "Mom, I have a great idea!"
A few days later, the group's building was bustling with activity.
It turns out that little Liu Bei organized a unique thank-you party for the employees' families.
Colorful ribbons fluttered, balloons adorned the scene, and laughter filled the air.
Children played in the play area, while adults gathered to chat and share parenting experiences.
Looking at this heartwarming scene, Liu Lu felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
She realized that a successful company should not only create economic value, but also pay attention to the well-being of its employees and make them feel the warmth of a family.
After the appreciation event, the employees expressed that the event made them feel the care of the group and enhanced their sense of belonging and cohesion.
Work efficiency has also improved, and various problems that had previously arisen have been effectively resolved.
The entire group has been transformed, presenting a thriving and prosperous scene.
Just as Liu Lu was feeling gratified by the success of the group's internal restructuring, Secretary Chen brought some new news.
After conducting market research, they discovered a cross-industry collaboration opportunity that could expand the group's business into a completely new field.
This opportunity is challenging, but it also holds enormous potential.
Liu Lu keenly realized that this might be the key to the group's resurgence.
Late at night, Liu Lu's office was brightly lit.
She studied the cooperation plan carefully, her brow furrowed.
Secretary Chen knocked gently on the door and came in.
"Mr. Liu, you've been working all day, you should rest." Liu Lu looked up, a hint of fatigue flashing in her eyes, but more so a determination.
“No, I have one last call to make…” She picked up the phone and dialed a number. A deep voice came from the other end: “Hello?” Liu Lu took a deep breath and slowly said, “It’s me. It’s about the cooperation…” The number Liu Lu dialed was Mr. Williams, the president of the international giant, Huanyu Group.
She succinctly explained the intention to cooperate and the advantages of her group.
Williams was initially cautious, given the numerous risks associated with cross-industry collaborations.
However, Liu Lu Group's recent internal restructuring and efficient operation, as well as its good reputation in the industry, left a deep impression on him.
After several rounds of negotiations, both parties finally reached a consensus and signed a cooperation agreement.
The news caused an uproar in the industry. No one expected that Liu Lu Group could join forces with Huanyu Group, which will undoubtedly reshape the industry landscape.
After the collaborative project was launched, Liu Lu demonstrated exceptional leadership skills and business acumen.
She accurately grasped the pulse of the market, boldly innovated, and led her team to overcome numerous difficulties. The project progressed exceptionally smoothly, and the returns far exceeded expectations.
Liu Lu Group's market value has soared, making it a dazzling new star in the industry.
The group's headquarters building soars into the clouds, exuding a magnificent aura.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Liu Lu looked down at the bustling city traffic, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
From a peasant woman who traveled from another era to a powerful businesswoman who now runs a business empire, she has weathered many storms and created many miracles.
All of this is inseparable from her unwavering perseverance and her deep love for her daughter, Liu Bei.
"Mom, look!" Liu Bei skipped over to Liu Lu, holding a beautifully designed invitation.
Liu Lu accepted the invitation, which read in gold lettering: "Dear Ms. Liu Lu, we cordially invite you to attend the 'Key to the Future' Summit..." The invitation was unsigned and lacked a specific address, only the date of the summit and a mysterious symbol—an ouroboros.
Secretary Chen also came over, his expression grave: "President Liu, the origin of this invitation is unclear. Should we...?"
Liu Lu interrupted her, her gaze falling on the ouroboros pattern, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips.
“Go and prepare, we’re going to meet this ‘Key to the Future’.” She paused, a barely perceptible glint of cold light flashing in her eyes. “I want to see who’s playing tricks.”
She picked up the invitation, her fingertips gently tracing the mysterious symbol, her eyes deep and unfathomable, as if they could see right through everything…
"The Key to the Future..." she murmured, "What secrets does it hold?"
Just then, the phone rang abruptly. Liu Lu answered it, and a hoarse voice, altered by a voice changer, came from the other end: "Liu Lu, long time no see..."
