Chapter 717 Be Discreet in Your Actions

Wang Yang gently patted Xiao Jiang on the shoulder: "You've really worked hard these past few days. Once this is over, you can come to the company with me. I've already arranged a position for you."

"Actually, I still get quite excited when I think about it now. After all, I've always done this kind of work before, and I've never worked in a company before."

Wang Yang smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous. Everyone in the company is an acquaintance. You'll quickly become one with everyone and won't feel like a stranger. They're all very friendly."

If Xiao Jiang were to go to another company, he would definitely not adapt well, but this is Wang Yang's company, so it will be much better.

Afterwards, Wang Yang didn't leave immediately but went to Wang Yunyi's company. Wang Yunyi had sent him a text message earlier, saying she needed to talk to him urgently.

When Wang Yang arrived, Wang Yunyi was in a meeting, so he waited in the office for a while.

"You've been waiting a long time, haven't you? I'm sorry, I had to attend a meeting at the last minute," Wang Yunyi said as soon as she entered the room.

"It's nothing, I don't have any plans today. I just came from Xiao Jiang's place," Wang Yang replied.

Wang Yunyi picked up her water glass, took a sip, and then asked, "How's Xiao Jiang doing? I haven't had a chance to ask him these past few days."

"You don't need to worry about Xiao Jiang. You should be able to trust him. What did you call me here for?"

Wang Yang knew that Wang Yunyi wouldn't suddenly call him over for no reason; there must be something important.

"Didn't Wang Dadong approach me before, wanting me to join him in dealing with you, but I refused? I didn't expect him to actually contact one of my department managers."

Wang Yang had actually anticipated this long ago; he knew Wang Dadong wouldn't give up easily, and this was a rare opportunity for him.

"How did you know?" Wang Yang asked.

“That department manager has been with me for many years, but we’ve had some disagreements recently. It was just because we had different opinions, and we were both doing it for the good of the company. He probably heard about it from someone else and thought we really had some kind of conflict.”

At this point, Wang Yunyi found it somewhat amusing; Wang Dadong was truly ruthless in his methods to deal with others.

"It seems he's really gone to great lengths to deal with you. I heard from that department manager that Wang Dadong even had dinner with another manager, but that manager didn't want to associate with him."

However, this manager and Wang Yunyi have a good relationship, and even if they disagree on some issues, it doesn't mean he will betray them.

“My manager is very smart. He neither agreed nor refused at the time. He just told me about it and asked me what to do.”

Wang Yang smiled and said, "This could be a huge help to us. Tell that department manager to pretend to agree, and then contact me directly to discuss what to do next."

Wang Yunyi thought so too, so she had already made things clear to the manager.

“I told him to make sure he deals well with Wang Dadong, because we still have a use for him. I guess Wang Dadong thought he had the victory in the bag after finding him.”

"I think Wang Dadong might tamper with the materials, such as cutting corners, which could cause an accident at the amusement park."

Thinking about this, Wang Yang felt that Wang Dadong was particularly hateful. If he wanted to target him, he could have just said so, but why did he have to harm innocent lives?
"If we do as you say, won't some children get hurt?" Wang Yunyi asked worriedly.

"Yes, that's exactly the effect he wanted. Children's issues are prone to attracting widespread social attention, and this way, everyone's criticism will be directed at our company."

At that time, Wang Yang's company may be forced to close down, and not only that, all his affairs will be thoroughly investigated.

"He really knows his stuff. I never expected him to be so cunning."

"Actually, if you don't know him well, you'd think he's quite kind. However, he is indeed good to his company's employees."

Wang Yang said this because Wang Dadong never intended to gamble with his own company, even though he knew he wouldn't be able to escape punishment once things were exposed.

But he still wanted to secure one last profit for his company, after all, those people had followed him for so many years. However, he never considered the lives of others.

“I’ve already sent that department manager over. You can have a good talk with him later,” Wang Yunyi said.

Wang Yang nodded, and the two chatted for a while longer before the manager knocked on the door and came in.

"Manager Wang, this is Wang Yang, whom I mentioned to you before," Wang Yunyi introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Wang!" the manager greeted him politely.

"Don't be so formal, just call me by my name. Wang Yunyi mentioned to me that Wang Dadong has already contacted you, right?"

Manager Wang nodded and said, "That's right, he contacted me last night, and I reported it to President Wang this morning."

"Does he think you two don't get along and is trying to sow discord between you?"

Manager Wang smiled and thought that Wang Dadong could be quite childish at times.

"That's probably what he thinks, but he doesn't know about my relationship with President Wang. How could there be any rift between us? We've always gotten along very well. It's normal to disagree, it's all for the company."

Wang Yang nodded; Wang Yunyi had already told him about it before.

"When Wang Dadong contacted you, how did you respond?"

“At first I wanted to get angry and refuse him directly. But then I thought, since he came to me, he could also come to someone else. Does he really want to harm our company? So I didn’t rush to express my opinion and pretended to be hesitant.”

No wonder Wang Yunyi said that Manager Wang was smart; this was indeed the best approach.

“You did the right thing. You were right. Even if Wang Dadong hadn’t come to you, he would have come to someone else. Luckily, he came to you, so you could inform Wang Yunyi. If he had come to someone else, it would have been troublesome.”

Wang Yang now feels very fortunate that the manager was quite shrewd.

"Do you know if he's looked for anyone else?"

“He approached one of my managers, with whom I have a good relationship. We had a brief argument with General Manager Wang in the office, so he approached both of us at the same time. However, that manager refused outright.”

Wang Yang nodded. Since that person had already refused, Wang Dadong probably wouldn't go looking for him again. After all, what he needed was a reliable person.

“You did the right thing. Here’s what we’ll do: you two put on another show, have another fight at the company, and Wang Dadong’s informants will know that you’re having a conflict. He’ll definitely come after you again.”

Moreover, this time the performance needs to be convincing enough for Wang Dadong to believe it.

"I understand. I was going to discuss some issues with President Wang later, and I guess we'll disagree again."

At this point, Manager Wang smiled sheepishly. He should have listened to General Manager Wang, but there were some things he had to say.

“We have Wang Dadong’s informants in our company, so we need to investigate this matter thoroughly.”

"Actually, no matter how much you investigate, it's useless. He doesn't need to bribe his own family members; he can just give someone some money to keep an eye on your movements."

Wang Yunyi nodded, somewhat annoyed, as she hated being monitored.

"But I can't just let him spy on me, can I?" "Actually, it's hard to avoid. With so many employees in the company, he could easily bribe one of them to find out where you usually go. However, he won't get too much information."

After all, if he really wanted to bribe someone, it would usually be one of the lower-level employees, who rarely have the chance to see Wang Yunyi. But something as serious as Wang Yunyi arguing with Manager Wang would definitely have spread throughout the company long ago.

"Everyone must know that you two were arguing loudly in the office, so it's normal that it reached Wang Dadong's ears. If you have another fight, and it has to be even more intense than last time, then when Wang Dadong finds out, he will definitely come to see Manager Wang."

Although Wang Yunyi was somewhat displeased, she still agreed to Wang Yang's request. She knew that only in this way would Wang Dadong trust Manager Wang more.

"Manager Wang, Wang Dadong is very cunning. You'll see through him after a few interactions. So you must act convincingly. You can complain about President Wang to him more often."

Manager Wang was a little embarrassed: "This is also asking me to lie. Actually, I am quite satisfied with General Manager Wang. Although she is a woman, she is very capable."

"You can think that way in your mind, but you can't say it when you're talking to Wang Dadong. It's better to talk more about how authoritarian she usually is."

Wang Yang said this to make Wang Dadong think that Manager Wang had a grudge against him, thus making him trust him more.

"Ok, I see!"

After their conversation, Wang Yang prepared to go home. As he passed a shopping mall, he suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he had taken Qin Tongtong and her mother shopping.

When he got home, Qin Tongtong and Wang Lan had already prepared a meal and were waiting for him.

"Wang Yang, why are you so late today? Is something the matter?"

"I just went to Wang Yunyi's company and discussed some things with her. If I'm not back, you don't need to wait for me."

Qin Tongtong smiled and waved her hand: "That won't do. Anyway, neither of us is very hungry. We'll wait for you to eat together!"

"Wang Yang, come and eat! I specially made your favorite dishes!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

During the meal, Wang Yang brought up the fact that he was going to the mall the next day.

"It seems like our family hasn't gone shopping together in a long time. Qin Tongtong, you probably haven't been to a mall in a while either, right? How about we go shopping tomorrow? It's the weekend."

When Wang Yang said that, Qin Tongtong realized that she hadn't gone shopping in a long time since becoming the general manager.

In the past, she could still find time to go out with Xiaochun, but since becoming the general manager, she basically works overtime on weekends.

"It might not be possible this weekend. I still have some work to finish. Let's talk about it later."

Wang Yang immediately put down his chopsticks: "That won't do. You do the math yourself. How many weekends have you been working overtime? You can't possibly finish all the work you have on hand. You might as well hand it over to someone else!"

"That won't do. I'm not comfortable entrusting it to someone else."

Wang Yang shook his head helplessly. It seemed that Qin Tongtong had not yet fully adapted to the role of general manager.

“You are now the general manager, not an ordinary employee. You need to learn to delegate and let others do those things.”

How could Qin Tongtong not understand this principle? But that's just her personality; she wants to do everything herself and do it to the best of her ability.

"The general manager only needs to make decisions. If you were like this, even ten general managers wouldn't be able to handle all the work in the company."

"But I just want to do things to the best of my ability, and I always do things better than them."

Wang Yang laughed. What he said was indeed true, but how could a person carry on like that forever?

“That’s not right either. You have to give other people a chance to perform. You can guide them to correct their mistakes, but you absolutely cannot do it yourself.”

Hearing Wang Yang say that, Qin Tongtong suddenly felt a little disappointed.

"Do you think I'm a terrible general manager? I'm not suited for this position at all."

"Of course not. Everyone needs an adjustment period for a new job or position. You're just not very familiar with it yet."

In reality, she's been in this position for almost half a year. Is she really destined to stay home and be a wife and mother, as others say?

“From now on, listen to me. Delegate the less urgent tasks to your subordinates. You can train them on how well they perform.”

Qin Tongtong nodded: "You're not saying all this just to get me to go shopping with you tomorrow, are you?"

"I wanted to go shopping with you and buy you some things. You've been working so hard lately, and I'm not very good at choosing things, so I wanted to take you and Mom with me to pick some out."

Wang Lan, who was standing nearby, quickly chimed in, "That's right, Wang Yang is right. You've been working too hard lately, Qin Tongtong. You can't keep going like this and ruin your health."

Being a junior employee was tiring enough, but being a general manager is even more exhausting. When will her wish to have a grandchild finally come true?

After a while, Qin Tongtong went to the kitchen to arrange things, while Wang Lan and Wang Yang stayed in the living room.

"Wang Yang, could you find someone to be the general manager? Don't make Qin Tongtong work so hard."

"Of course, there are many talented people in the company, but becoming the general manager has always been Qin Tongtong's dream."

Wang Lan was also a little embarrassed: "Of course I know, but as you've seen, she doesn't take care of her health when she's working. I'm wondering when you two can give me a child!"

"Mom, you have to talk to Qin Tongtong about this. I can't make the decision myself."

After saying that, fearing that Wang Lan would keep talking to him, he quickly went back to his room.

The next day, Wang Yang took the mother and daughter to the mall.

"Let's go browse around the gold and silver jewelry store first!"

Wang Yang knew that Wang Lan loved these things the most. After all, no matter how good your clothes are, some people won't appreciate their value, but gold and silver jewelry is a different story.

"Okay, okay, I love browsing these jewelry stores!"

As soon as they entered, the waiters greeted them warmly, and it was clear at a glance that this family was very wealthy.

"Mom, pick whatever you like. I'll buy whatever you choose!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lan didn't hold back and picked out a lot of gold and silver jewelry. Qin Tongtong kept trying to dissuade her.
"Mom, don't buy so many. You can't possibly wear all of these things on you every day!"

"You don't understand, your Aunt Liu has so many of these things at home, I'm so envious."
