Chapter 199: Drastic Layoffs
Once Ah Xing's strength was revealed, the scene became even quieter. No one dared to speak. They all silently awaited Qi Xu's next decision.
Qi Xu's eyes slowly closed after he flipped through the notebook.
Then, a decision was announced that no one could have expected.
"Positions above foreman in our company must be held by employees with more than five years of service. Employees who joined within the past five years and wish to stay can first take entry-level positions, and I will promote them later based on their performance."
"If you don't want to stay, you can find another job. I also wish you a bright future and great success."
Through everyone's self-introductions, Qi Xu discovered that more than 95% of the middle-level cadres were new hires who had joined after his mother's accident.
This means that they are all Qi Wangxing’s people.
Qi Xu would not use anyone who was trained by Qi Wangxing.
Back then, Qi Wangxing gradually replaced the talents that Ms. An had worked so hard to cultivate, and placed his own people in charge to take control of the company.
Now Qi Xu is even more ruthless. He kills all the cockroaches, rats and ants he raised in one go to prevent any future troubles.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire conference room exploded!
Everyone jumped out to refute, and the protests, shouts, and curses came like a flood.
When it's so noisy that it hurts my ears.
Ah Le jumped onto the table with a bang. He gathered his energy in his dantian and, like the landlady in the Kung Fu movies, roared like a lion.
"Quiet--"
Everyone's eardrums were nearly ruptured by her. This level of skill was even more powerful than that of a landlady.
The landlady at least has a loud speaker, but she is just yelling.
It was the first time that Qi Xu saw that A Le had this special ability. She was determined to make a big splash when she did.
Fortunately, when Ah Le started to practice her luck, Ah Xing helped her cover her ears. Otherwise, she would have been so close to him that her eardrums would have been broken.
Poor Yu Chuan and Song Chen were shocked to the point that their hair stood on end. For a long time, their ears were ringing and they couldn't hear anything.
"Oh my god, am I deaf?"
It's not just him who is deaf, it's everyone who is temporarily deaf.
Ale clapped his hands and got down from the table.
"Now, it's finally quiet!"
Qi Xu thought, it is quiet now, but no one can hear anything, what should I do?
Qi Xu's ears were well protected, and she drank tea leisurely, while the others all moved in unison and cleaned their ears together.
After a while, Song Chen looked at A Le and spoke softly.
"Beautiful lady, next time before you use your power, remember to remind me first."
It was the first time in Ah Le's life that someone called her a beauty. Her face flushed red and she shyly let out a particularly unpleasant shrill sound.
"Okay! Brother Chen!"
This heart-breaking sound made Song Chen's ears feel dizzy and numb. He wished he could just go deaf. Rather than endure this inhuman torture, he would rather endure the Hedong Lion's Roar again.
"Ale, I think you're cuter when you don't speak."
Yu Chuan next to him clenched his fists and couldn't help laughing.
Ah Xing reached out and slapped him on the back of the head. "What are you laughing at? Have you ever seen a woman act like a spoiled child?"
It’s not that Yu Chuan hasn’t seen a woman acting coquettishly, but he has never seen such a tough woman acting coquettishly, and he has never seen such a tough woman acting coquettishly in such an unpleasant voice.
What's wrong with him smiling? Is it illegal to smile?
Ah Le doesn't like to talk because his voice is unpleasant. Yu Chuan's smile made him become autistic again.
Ah Xing couldn't help but give him another slap on the head. "I told you not to laugh, but you still laughed!"
Ah Xing and Ah Le grew up together in an orphanage and suffered a lot, but their bond is stronger than that of real sisters.
When Yu Chuan laughed at Ah Le, he was actually making fun of him.
"Hey, woman, why are you so fierce? Be careful you won't be able to get married!"
Ah Xing confronted him directly. "If I can't get married, I'll marry you!"
This was not a joke, it was a naked threat. Yu Chuan quickly shut his mouth and dared not laugh anymore.
Seeing that the people below had almost finished cleaning their ears, Qi Xu took a sip of tea and spoke again.
"You can choose three representatives. If you have any questions, let them ask them. I can spend half an hour answering them."
Soon, the director of production, the director of sales, and the director of purchasing stood up and challenged Qi Xu.
The director of the manufacturing department was the first to ask a question. He was arrogant and spoke in an extremely domineering tone, not even calling him Mr. An.
"Girl, are you sure you want to lay us all off? If you dare to lay me off, I guarantee your entire manufacturing plant will be paralyzed and never be able to operate again."
Qi Xu was not afraid of his threat and told him sternly.
"Then leave it paralyzed. Take as many people as you can. I want to see if my workshop can still function without you."
In the past, Qi Xu would never have dared to say such a boast. Even if he wanted to take back the company, he would have to do it slowly.
Now she has Lu Lin as her backer and has strong capital. Even if she has to spend money, she can make the workshop run automatically. Why should she be afraid of the threat from a small director like him?
"Okay, if you're brave, I'll wait and see your crappy company go bankrupt!"
The manufacturing director just turned his face away and left.
Then the purchasing director stepped forward and said in a joking manner.
"Boss An, you're still a bit too young and impulsive. Director Ouyang is a founding member of our company, and his abilities are obvious to all. If you fire him like this, I'm afraid it will undermine the enthusiasm of the employees below."
Qi Xu replied calmly.
"Really? A founding father? When I was little, I came to the company every day to do homework, and I played in the company on weekends, winter and summer vacations. How come I've never seen him?"
After Qi Xu said this, everyone understood. What she wanted were the people trained by An Yunxi, veteran employees like Liu Dazhu.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Liu Dazhu responded immediately.
"Yes, I used to see you often, Miss. You loved wearing pink princess dresses the most."
Qi Xu smiled and nodded in response.
Then, the purchasing director also started to threaten people, but he was relatively smart and his attitude was relatively tactful.
"Mr. An, although Anxin Home Furnishing isn't a publicly listed company, we employ thousands of people. If it were to fail, the losses from employee salaries, redundancy payments, and production operations alone could reach tens of millions, and we'd even be at risk of bankruptcy. Are you sure you want to fire us all?"
Qi Xu smiled and asked him in the same tactful way.
"You're a smart guy. Could you please tell me what you're holding on to?"
Only those who have bargaining chips are qualified to negotiate terms. This is an eternal truth.
The purchasing manager revealed his cards directly.
"Currently, I am responsible for following up and maintaining all the suppliers of the company's materials. Moreover, most suppliers buy on credit first and then settle the bill."
