The vicious female supporting role is posted in the opposite direction by the cub

She buried this weighty new contract at the very bottom of her pile of documents, as if it were just a trivial matter.

At that time, Lei Ran was extremely busy with the company's "rebirth".

The continuous influx of funds, the arrival of international experts, and the renovation plan for the factory all made Yan Yueqing both excited and deeply aware of the great responsibility.

When his boss handed him a plan to expand staffing far beyond what was needed to maintain the existing farm, Lei Ran was confused.

He repeatedly checked the plan, comparing it with the existing scale of the farm, the number of equipment, and the expected production tasks. It seemed that every position had reached or even exceeded the reasonable saturation level.

Recruiting according to this plan will not only significantly increase labor costs, but may even lead to redundant staff.

He was afraid that President Yan had made a mistake, so he went to ask if the number of positions available was sufficient.
Yan Yueqing simply looked at a nautical chart, calm and decisive: "Not enough. Recruit according to plan, with the highest possible job positions and salary standards. We need to build up our talent pool, especially technical backbones and management. For the company to grow, we can't just focus on these few acres of fishponds. We need to have a long-term vision."

"Long-term?" Lei Ran pondered the word, and now he finally understood what President Yan's long-term plan was!
Every seemingly redundant position and every reserve of technical backbone personnel is actually prepared for this brand-new and larger battlefield!

The immense shock, like an electric current, coursed through Lei Ran's body, leaving him speechless for a moment.

He felt a strong sense of shame and lingering fear!
He felt ashamed for having questioned her decisions and for using narrow-minded "reasoning" to speculate about her profound thoughts. He was also afraid of his wavering during the storm, and for a moment, he was almost swayed by the online slander.

The adjacent sea! That equally azure sea is a dock that President Yan had silently built for the starfish ship, making it even stronger and wider...

Swift and decisive actions, compassionate heart, unfathomable schemes... all impressions of Yan Yueqing collapsed and were reshaped at this moment.

Lei Ran felt a surge of hot tears welling up in his eyes. It wasn't a feeling of grievance, but a profound and shocking realization!

It was a sense of relief at surviving a disaster, but even more so, it was an admiration for that young boss that bordered on awe!
She silently bore all the misunderstandings and even slander, just so that when the dust settled, she could give everyone a future without worries.

This is not merely a matter of business acumen, but also a profound sense of responsibility and commitment...

“Therefore,” Yan Yueqing’s voice cut off all the discussion, clearly declaring—

"The company will not collapse! You will not lose your job! The entire company will relocate to Dongxi Bay! The planning and construction of the new base will begin immediately! For the employees who remain, their salaries and benefits will remain unchanged!"

An overwhelming ecstasy swept through the venue like a tsunami!

Li Guozhu slapped his thigh excitedly: "I knew it! President Yan wouldn't abandon us!"

Xiao Wang covered his face and cried, this time it was tears of joy.

Old Zhang nodded repeatedly, his cloudy tears streaming down his deeply lined cheeks...

Many people couldn't help but hug and high-five their colleagues; the hope that came after despair was like sweet rain falling on parched land.

However, Yan Yueqing's expression did not relax at all; on the contrary, it became even colder.

She raised her hand, and the hall fell silent again, the atmosphere becoming heavy once more, like the sea before a storm.

"Furthermore, I've heard some voices saying that I, Yan Yueqing, am a speculator who came for the new energy plan, a hypocrite who timed the market, acquired companies at low prices just to wait for policy support, and pocketed all the compensation?"

She gave a cold laugh; the voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling penetrating power that caused the temperature in the venue to drop sharply.

"Haixing Company is not a spoil of war that I 'acquired' from anyone."

“It was planted here by my mother, Ms. Jiang Yu, fifteen years ago, when this land of Haidu was at its darkest and most desperate!”

Jiang Yu?! President Yan's mother?!
The audience erupted in uproar!

Many people know about the miracle of former CEO Jiang, and also know that the company has slowly declined to its current state because it waited too long for CEO Jiang.

Unexpectedly, President Jiang's daughter, President Yan, showed up!
She came to save everyone?!

Yan Yueqing's gaze swept across the area: "Fifteen years ago, the deep-water port project failed, investors fled, and countless people sold their land and left their homes. It was she who, despite everyone's incomprehension and ridicule, took over the bankrupt warehouse next door, rented this area of ​​sea that no one believed in at the time, and founded Haixing! She gave hundreds of families a way to survive and a bite to eat! Do any of the slightly older employees still remember her?"

As the oldest employee, Old Zhang was startled. He looked up abruptly, his lips trembling, his eyes instantly reddening: "I...I remember! President Yan, I remember! President Jiang...she was the only light in this 'ghost town' back then!"

Yan Yueqing's voice carried a sense of reminiscence for the past and respect for her mother, "Although for some reasons, President Jiang didn't have much time to manage Haixing afterward, it is undeniable that her actions back then created opportunities for many of you, allowing you to protect your home."

Her words were like an invisible key, unlocking the floodgates of memory and stirring up complex emotions that had been suppressed in many people's hearts for years.

A heavy, awkward silence filled the conference room, even more suffocating than the simple quiet from before.

For these long-time employees, the name Jiang Yu, General Manager Jiang, has long become a distant and slightly guilty symbol. Sometimes, it even carries a hint of resentment—resentment for her departure back then, leaving the starfish ship adrift in the storm.

However, General Manager Yan's resolute words at that moment struck the hearts of every veteran employee like a heavy hammer blow.

Yes, it was General Manager Jiang who gave them a place to stay and a livelihood during the darkest period of the "ghost town," allowing them to stay in their homeland and family business instead of leaving their hometown like others.

Shame, like a vine, silently and imperceptibly coiled around my heart.

President Yan's words contained no blame, but the subtext was incredibly sharp—

They guarded the legacy left by General Manager Jiang for fifteen years. But what was the result? They didn't just hold on; they held on until they were on the verge of bankruptcy, with wages in arrears, morale low, and the business nearly collapsing!

Back then, General Manager Jiang gave them "a way out," but what did they do? Over the past fifteen years, they've practically turned that "way out" into a dead end!
Old Zhang's words, "the only light," still echoed in their ears, further highlighting the bleakness of their past fifteen years.

If Mr. Jiang had "run away" immediately after founding the company, the company would have quickly declined, and perhaps the excuse of "the boss being irresponsible" could have been used to cover it up.

In fact, there are many examples of companies that have thrived even after the owners have left for many years, under the leadership of professional managers or outstanding teams of employees.

Old Zhang's daughter works at LeEco, doesn't she?
The boss has fled abroad, but the company's current cash flow and operations are enough to keep paying the employees' salaries through copyright fees alone.

As for Haixing... relying on the huge initial capital left by President Jiang, and on the resources she introduced that they never dared to dream of before... why couldn't it develop?

Mr. Jiang has only been out of the public eye for the past few years, and the company has already declined so drastically?

A thought suddenly exploded in everyone's minds!

—If the company can only keep running by the boss's money, then everyone here is useless!

For fifteen years, they failed to develop and expand Haixing, failed to make it self-reliant, and instead allowed it to gradually decline, even reaching the brink of bankruptcy and liquidation. In the end, they still needed Mr. Jiang's daughter to come to their rescue.

This is not just a matter of poor management; it is a betrayal! A betrayal of the trust and opportunity given to them by General Manager Jiang, a betrayal of the land and sea that nurtured them, and a betrayal of their own fifteen years of life!
This belated and heavy reflection, accompanied by a strong sense of shame, weighed down everyone, making it impossible for them to lift their heads.

In the conference room, only suppressed breathing and an unsettling silence remained.

The arrival of the new boss not only brought a way out, but also served as a mirror, revealing their long-standing incompetence.

Yan Yueqing looked around at everyone and slowly said:
"In fact, President Jiang has not forgotten everyone. Not long ago, she officially handed over Haixing Company to me..."

"Therefore, this is not speculation, nor is it an acquisition! It is inheritance, a weighty responsibility!"

“I took over this project not to wait for some favorable policy to reap huge profits, but to continue my mother’s belief and ensure that the starfish truly survives and thrives! The impact of the new energy pilot project on our original site is a fact, but when I, Yan Yueqing, took on this responsibility, I was already prepared to deal with any storms! The contingency plan for Dongxi Bay is my first step in dealing with the storms, not the scheming and deliberate plot that some people have speculated about!”

"What is being tested in this crisis?" Her voice was icy, each word like a hammer blow, striking clearly into everyone's hearts. "It is the will of the people! It is the ability to unite as one!"

"When difficulties arose, before my solutions could be implemented, suspicion, infighting, and even being incited to stab me in the back!"

Wang Daman immediately felt a prickling sensation on his back, cold sweat poured down his back, and he wished he could disappear into the ground.

"I am very disappointed. What the company needs to overcome difficulties is partners who will stand by it through thick and thin, not 'employees' who are disloyal and may turn against us at any time!"

Her gaze slowly swept across the room, lingering for a moment on the faces of several long-time employees whose eyes were darting around, before her tone suddenly turned somber:

"The relocation of the address and the launch of the new base also present an opportunity for the company to reorganize its personnel! All employees must sign new employment contracts. Whether or not to renew the contract will be determined by the company based on past performance, professional ability, and especially attitude and behavior during this incident—a rigorous screening process! Those who do not meet the requirements will, unfortunately, never be hired again."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the pure joy of some people.

Wang Daman's heart sank to the bottom, feeling icy cold.

He glanced around and noticed that many people's eyes were also flickering.

"Why are we being screened? Aren't we all doing our jobs just fine?" A sharp voice rang out from the crowd. It was Zhang Yong, the coworker who had complained about the current situation with Wang Daman earlier. He stood up with his neck stiff, trying to provoke discontent. "Boss Yan, are you trying to kick us while we're down? Are you looking down on us who weren't relocated and are just holding us back?"

Jun Jiu stepped forward and stood in front of Yan Yueqing.

For the past month, whenever anyone encountered him, Jun Jiu always had a gentle smile on his face.

At this moment, his young and handsome face was filled with a chilling expression!

"Zhang Yong? President Yue has his own considerations. Your questions will be addressed by the company later."

His gaze was sharp as an eagle's, and his tone suddenly turned icy: "However, the one beside you—Wang Daman—should be given a proper talking-to."

When Wang Daman was called out, his body trembled violently, as if an invisible rope had been tightened around his neck. His face turned deathly pale, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back. "Mr...Mr. Jun...I...I have contributed to the company...I..."

"Of course you've made contributions!" Jun Jiu's voice was chilling. "Your 'contribution' to the company is colluding with outsiders to stir up trouble online, spreading rumors and slandering President Yue and the company, isn't it?!"

"I didn't!" Wang Daman exclaimed, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Nothing?" Jun Jiu sneered, directly operating the large screen to switch the view and clearly display the background data—the registration information and login IP of the account that had stirred up a huge wave online, named "Deep Dive into the Hypocritical Mask of Capital".

"You think your little scheme with that 'gold digger' Sun Tao is so well-hidden that no one knows about it?"

what?
In just one day, he even found out about Sun Tao?

Wang Daman was just an ordinary person; he had never seen anything like this before.

It was as if he was realizing for the first time just how capable President Yan was. His legs suddenly went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

The room erupted in an uproar!
Everyone stared in shock at the collapsed Wang Daman, their eyes quickly shifting from initial astonishment to flames of contempt and anger!

“Wang Daman,” Jun Jiu stared at him, each word like a verdict, “You thought you were doing something undetected? You thought you were safe hiding behind the internet? Your supposedly clever tricks are nothing but a clown's act in the face of real technology! And what's even more ridiculous is—”

He abruptly changed the subject, his tone filled with heavy sarcasm and pity for ignorance: "Do you know who that 'self-media friend' Sun Tao is, who helped you post online, stirred up trouble, and used you as a pawn? What's his motive? Why was he so 'enthusiastic' in helping you? Because he harbors a grudge against Yue Zong! He used you!"

The screen switched again, prominently displaying the application records and back-end review notes for the "Baby Project" charity foundation:

Applicant: Sun Tao
Application Project: Child Critical Illness Assistance (Child diagnosed with leukemia)
Application amount: RMB 490,000
Review status: Rejected
Reason for rejection: After verification from multiple sources, the applicant owns:

A property located at No. XX, XX Road, XX District, XX City

A property located in Unit X, Building X, XX Community, XX City.

A car of brand XX registered in his name
Family annual income stable above 30

The applicant requested the foundation to fully fund the 49 yuan treatment cost, refusing to bear any of the costs himself.

This behavior is seriously inconsistent with the emergency relief principle of the "Baby Project," which aims to provide timely assistance to families in genuine need.

It is recommended that they prioritize making good use of their own assets or seeking other reasonable channels of social assistance. (End of Chapter)
