Chapter 15: A Show of Power
Yu Chengze arranged for Yu's assistant Anna and Yu Feiyi to go to the company together.
On the way, Anna introduced Lumiere's current situation.
Lumiere is a relatively traditional design brand. Its designs are not innovative enough and can no longer meet the needs of high-end customization.
The accessories on the assembly line were also mediocre, the counters suffered heavy losses, and they were closed one after another.
Due to lack of novelty, finished products are unsaleable and there is a lack of high-end customization. Only a few veteran designers still have a stable customer base, which prevents the company from suffering losses year after year.
But this also leads to a serious problem.
The veteran designers in the design department are self-made and difficult to control, and it is difficult for new designers to make a name for themselves. This leads to a serious brain drain and creates a vicious cycle.
Yu Feiyi was puzzled: "How can a designer who is so utilitarian create any good works? He is only concerned with intrigue and scheme. Why not fire him?"
Anna explained: "Because the costs are too high, they control almost 80% of the company's customers. If they leave, the loss of customers will directly cause the company to go bankrupt."
The previous owner sold the brand at a low price, partly for this reason.
Yu Feiyi probably understood that his achievements surpassed his boss's, and that he had driven his boss away.
What a weird company and what a cowardly boss.
To be honest, when it comes to temper, Yu Feiyi has never been afraid of anyone.
As soon as she finished thinking this, Yu Feiyi was shocked.
The two pushed the door open and entered the conference room, and saw a woman in her thirties sitting at the head seat at the long table in the conference room.
The heads of various departments were either embarrassed, watching the show, or ignoring it.
Yu Feiyi was speechless. She didn't expect that there was someone more arrogant than her.
Anna frowned and said, “Ms. Xin, this is not your place.”
Xin Ruofu glanced at her and said, "Our company is design-based. I'm the design director, so I'm naturally more qualified to sit here than the young lady who just landed here."
Anna frowned and stepped forward: "Ms. Xin..."
Yu Feiyi stretched out her hand to stop Anna. She looked relaxed and not unhappy. She just smiled and said:
"Ms. Xin, design is the foundation, not the rule of thumb. This is a company, and we're all adults. Don't bring your chuunibyou into the company. Now, take your seat. If you don't want to go, you can submit your resignation."
Xin Ruofu didn't take her seriously at all. She sneered at the words and said, "You want me to hand in my resignation? I'm the director of the design department and I handle most of the company's clients. You..."
Yu Feiyi interrupted her directly: "Ms. Xin, a dozen or so mid-range custom clients are nothing to brag about. As the Director of the Design Department, if you weren't incompetent, the counter line wouldn't be losing money to the point of closing the counters, making these dozen or so clients the lifeblood of the company."
Xin Ruofu's face changed, and she said in disbelief: "You said I'm incompetent?"
Yu Feiyi was very impatient: "It seems that today's meeting can't continue. Let's not waste time. Heads of each department, please report to my office in turn. Anna, record all employees who don't follow the company's arrangements and persuade them to resign."
She looked around the conference room and said, "I don't know how the previous company was managed to have such a chaotic leadership structure, but I'm not as good-tempered as the previous boss. If you don't want to work, you can leave at any time."
She looked at Xin Ruofu, said nothing, just smiled sarcastically, and turned away.
Xin Ruofu seemed humiliated.
Yu Feiyi listened to reports all day, but no one came to the design department until the end of the day.
Anna sorted out the information and handed it to Yu Feiyi's desk.
"It looks like the head of the design department won't be coming today."
Yu Feiyi was drawing something on the table. When she heard the voice, she looked up and said, "If she really had any guts, she should have thrown her resignation in my face."
Anna peeked in and saw that Yu Feiyi had drawn a company structure diagram.
Each department used a different animal logo, except for the design department, which drew a witch with a long nose.
She chuckled: "Miss, your drawing is quite vivid."
Yu Feiyi glanced down. When she was thinking about something, she liked to doodle. She was afraid that Anna would think she was not doing her job properly and would ruin her image as a domineering boss.
She silently put the sketchbook away: "I was just organizing my thoughts and drawing to get used to it."
Anna smiled and said, "This is a good habit, Miss. It will make your thinking clearer."
Yu Feiyi wasn't sure whether she was sincere or just flattering her, so she remained silent cautiously.
She packed up her things and said to Anna, "Let's go home today. It seems that the first thing a new official should do is to burn the design department."
Anna nodded. "Miss, just go ahead and do it. Lumiere's personnel are going to be reshuffled anyway. You've done a great job in your first year."
Yu Feiyi looked at Anna's serious expression and said, "Anna, is this encouraging growth? Did my brother give you a task?"
Anna shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, Miss, you really did a good job."
Yu Feiyi laughed dryly twice: "Okay, okay, let's go home."
Anna said goodbye to Yu Feiyi with a smile.
Yu Feiyi packed up, took her bag and went downstairs. When she reached the garage, she found that her key was missing.
She patted her head and threw it in the office that morning.
She turned back again.
In the garage, Xin Ruofu was sitting in her car. Seeing her go upstairs again, a hint of ill intent flashed in her eyes.
When Yu Feiyi arrived at the company, the lights inside were off. She stood at the door and hesitated for a moment.
She is afraid of the dark.
Let's take a taxi back.
As soon as she turned around, the lights in the corridor suddenly flickered, and Yu Feiyi was startled.
She hurriedly turned around and pressed the elevator button, but as soon as her hand touched the button, the lights suddenly went out.
Even the elevator buttons were not lighting up.
Only the emergency lights in the corridor emitted a faint green light.
Yu Feiyi is fearless, but she is afraid of the dark!
She shuddered, swallowed hard, and quickly rummaged through her bag to get her cell phone, but suddenly she heard footsteps approaching from behind her and a hand patted her shoulder.
"Ah, ghost!"
Yu Feiyi screamed, closed her eyes and threw the bag in her hand backwards.
The person behind him moved aside.
With a "bang", the bag hit the wall and the things inside were scattered all over the floor.
Yu Feiyi suddenly heard a chuckle in the darkness, and a familiar voice came into her ears.
"Miss Yu, you're going to kill someone."
Yu Feiyi opened her eyes and met a pair of amber pupils.
The visitor turned on a flashlight, illuminating the corridor and the familiar face.
Yu Feiyi was still in shock, tears streaming down her face. She suddenly threw herself into Jiang Wei's arms, choking with sobs.
"Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei, I'm scared..."
Jiang Wei just came over to say hello when he saw her, but he didn't expect that she would be scared and cry. He was a little at a loss for what to do.
"You...don't cry, don't cry..."
Yu Feiyi hugged him tightly, sobbing in her throat, and murmured inaudibly: "Don't die, don't die..."
Jiang Wei suddenly remembered that Yu Feiyi was not frightened by his sudden appearance, but was afraid of the dark.
He raised his hands, put one arm around her, paused with the other hand, and gently patted her back: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."
The bodyguards following behind looked at each other in confusion.
I've never seen the young master coax anyone like this.
