Chapter 720 Don’t look back until you hit the wall

"Mr. Wang, I don't quite understand what you're saying. I just feel that Sister Zhang hasn't been taking her work seriously and I wanted to talk to her about it, but she wouldn't admit it and we ended up arguing."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang sneered. He knew that Wang Xiaoyun must have had ulterior motives for doing this.

"Sister Zhang has been doing things this way for a long time. I've said before that I will take good care of the company's long-term employees. Anyway, they will retire in a few years, and the company is not short of money."

It wasn't just Wang Yang; their previous boss thought the same way. He turned a blind eye to these long-term employees, figuring they were all going to retire anyway, so he just treated them as if the company was supporting them.

After all, they had made many contributions to the company in the past, so this can be considered a form of repayment.

“Mr. Wang, the company’s business is not doing very well right now. We haven’t been able to secure several projects for a long time. Besides, we are currently cooperating with you, so we should be even more careful. People like Sister Zhang can easily ruin the company’s atmosphere.”

Wang Yang's lips curled up into a smile: "But Zhang Jie's situation is something I specially authorized. The company isn't just about her, so why don't you discipline the others as well, but instead target her specifically?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoyun immediately tensed up. Wang Yang's words clearly implied that he suspected Wang Yang of deliberately targeting Sister Zhang.

"That's not how it is, Mr. Wang. I think the current atmosphere in the company needs to be changed. Those veteran employees have indeed contributed to the company, but now the company needs to inject fresh vitality and can't let them occupy their positions forever."

"Those senior employees hold nominal positions. If you want to get promoted, you don't need to go through them. If you think you are capable, you can work hard to move up."

Wang Xiaoyun quickly shook her head: "President Wang, that's not what I meant. I didn't feel like they were blocking my way, it's just that with them around, the company always feels a bit less vibrant."

“Then I’ll be frank with you, this is my decision. I’m the company boss, and it’s not too late for you to make your own decision when you’re in that position.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoyun clearly sensed that Wang Yang was angry, and dared not say anything more.

"So, you argued with Sister Zhang over these things? You want me to fire all the veteran employees and only keep the new ones?"

"No, Mr. Wang. I just feel that having too many long-term employees in the company is not beneficial, and we should hire more new people."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang frowned slightly. Could it be that Wang Xiaoyun wanted to place her own people into the company?
"The company currently has enough employees. Which department do you think is still short-staffed?"

"It's like this, Mr. Wang. I've worked with the design department before, and I feel that they're still short-staffed. After all, the design department needs creative talent, but the abilities of young people these days are getting worse and worse."

Wang Yang sneered inwardly. It seemed that Wang Xiaoyun wanted to take this opportunity to plant her own people.

"You mean you want me to expand the design department and hire more new people?"

"Mr. Wang, I know I shouldn't have made these suggestions. But I've been with the company for a while and I'm quite familiar with the situation in some departments. For example, the design department should be constantly replenished with fresh blood and its size expanded."

Wang Yang nodded in agreement, feigning agreement: "You're right. The design department relies on creativity. Young people are changing so fast these days, we really need to inject some new energy."

Wang Xiaoyun was overjoyed when she heard Wang Yang agree.

"Yes, Mr. Wang. That's why we need to be open-minded in recruiting talent and bring in more people."

"Alright, I'll leave the hiring for the design department to you. I'm confident you can handle it."

Wang Xiaoyun was stunned by Wang Yang's words. He actually had no connection with the design department, and even if they were hiring, it wouldn't be his turn. When a department hires new employees, it's either the department head who makes the decision, or the general manager, or the boss.

"But, Mr. Wang, wouldn't that mean I'm overstepping Mr. Qin's bounds? He'll be unhappy if he finds out," Wang Xiaoyun asked cautiously, her words tinged with a hint of probing.

"It's alright, I'll explain this to President Qin. I'll leave it to you to handle, but I have only one condition: the people you recruit must be approved by me first."

"Of course, Mr. Wang, please rest assured, I will handle this carefully."

Wang Yang nodded and dismissed Wang Xiaoyun. After leaving, Wang Xiaoyun went straight to the bathroom and made a phone call to Wang Dadong.

His outburst today was to recruit some new people for the company. Wang Dadong has already prepared candidates for each department.

No matter which department Wang Yang needed people for, he could arrange it. The main problem was that Wang Xiaoyun was the only one in Wang Yang's company who could help him with things, which was indeed inconvenient.

Furthermore, Wang Xiaoyun had a past conflict with Qin Tongtong, and her relationship with Wang Yang wasn't good either. It wouldn't be easy for her to pull any tricks.

So Wang Dadong came up with a plan: he would have Wang Xiaoyun bring some new employees into the company. As long as Wang Yang's company was willing to hire, he would have a steady stream of talent to supply.

“Mr. Wang, I just finished talking with him. He agreed to let me be in charge of this recruitment. I told him that the design department is short of people.”

Wang Dadong was also somewhat surprised when he heard the news. He hadn't expected Wang Xiaoyun to persuade Wang Yang so easily.

"Are you sure? Wang Yang is so shrewd, didn't he become suspicious?"

“He may not have been very satisfied with me, but when I said that the design department needed fresh talent, he accepted. After all, I've been with the company for so long and know the company better than he does.”

After Wang Xiaoyun said that, Wang Dadong no longer had any doubts.

"The design department is great, I have plenty of talent at my disposal. I guarantee that out of 10 people who come to your company for an interview, 9 of them will be my people."

Hearing Wang Dadong say this, Wang Xiaoyun felt relieved. He had been worried that he wouldn't be able to get the person Wang Dadong arranged accepted.

"Don't be too anxious, I'll take care of everything here. If any outsiders want to apply for a job at their company, I'll also find someone to turn them away."

Wang Dadong had already planned it all out: no matter which department Wang Yang recruited, he would make sure all of them became his own people.

He would be more than happy to poach people from his own company, since these people were all pawns used to deal with Wang Yang.

While at the company, Wang Yang didn't tell Qin Tongtong about it, but waited until he got home to tell her. After all, there were many people and gossips at the company, and he was afraid that the matter would be leaked.

"There's something I haven't told you yet. The design department needs to hire some new people, and I've assigned Wang Xiaoyun to handle it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tongtong frowned and stared at him, asking, "What do you mean? Wang Xiaoyun isn't in the design department, and even if there's a recruitment process, it should be handled by the HR department. What does it have to do with him?" Wang Yang had already anticipated Qin Tongtong's reaction. He and Wang Xiaoyun didn't get along well to begin with, and Qin Tongtong was definitely unhappy about entrusting him with such an important task.

"Let me explain first. This was Wang Xiaoyun's idea. Do you know that he had an argument with Sister Zhang at the company today?"

Qin Tongtong nodded. She had been in a meeting when they argued. When she returned, her assistant told her about it. She had originally planned to ask about the situation, but her assistant said that Wang Yang had already handled it, so she didn't inquire further.

After all, Wang Xiaoyun has been causing trouble at the company for quite some time now. She's a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. She doesn't dare to mess with the new employees, so she targets the older ones instead.

“I warned Wang Xiaoyun before not to mess with those senior employees. I made it very clear to him, but it seems he didn’t take my warning seriously at all.”

Qin Tongtong said this with gritted teeth, feeling that Wang Xiaoyun was repeatedly challenging her bottom line.

She and Wang Xiaoyun used to be on the same level, and it was one thing for them to be at odds. But now that she's the general manager, Wang Xiaoyun's attitude towards her is still just as terrible.

If she weren't still holding onto her position, she would have fired Wang Xiaoyun long ago. People like him are easy to find anywhere; why keep him around in the company just to cause trouble?

“I know you really want to fire Wang Xiaoyun, but we can’t now. We already know he’s Wang Dadong’s man, so we have to keep him around. What if he leaves and Wang Dadong brings in someone whose background we don’t know?”

Actually, even without Wang Yang's explanation, Qin Tongtong understood. Rationally speaking, she knew that keeping Wang Xiaoyun by her side was the best option right now.

"Wang Xiaoyun argued with Sister Zhang today, but what he really wanted to tell me was to ask the company to hire more people. He mentioned the design department to me."

Hearing this, Qin Tongtong vaguely sensed that Wang Xiaoyun might be plotting something.

"Could he be trying to plant someone in for Wang Dadong?"

"You guessed right, that's exactly what he was thinking. Wang Dadong has definitely been planning this for a long time, but he just hasn't found the opportunity. After all, our company stopped hiring a long time ago."

Their company is currently in a phase of steady growth, and Wang Yang is particularly cautious. Especially now that Wang Dadong is keeping a close eye on them, recruiting new employees could easily lead to Wang Dadong sabotaging them.

Even when the company needed people, Wang Yang would secretly borrow them from Xiao Xue, since Wang Da Dong didn't know about his relationship with Xiao Xue.

“Now Wang Dadong wants to use Wang Xiaoyun to recruit those people into the company. He thinks that Wang Xiaoyun and we don’t get along well, and we will be wary of Wang Xiaoyun, so that those people can infiltrate more easily.”

Thinking of this, Qin Tongtong couldn't help but feel alarmed: "But if we really recruit his people, wouldn't our company be in even more danger?"

"Don't worry, now that we know his plan, we need to be more vigilant about that person. At least we know who in the company is on his side."

Qin Tongtong sighed heavily. Wang Yang was right. If the person they hired was from Wang Dadong's side, they could easily spread false information through that person later.

"Wang Dadong really won't admit defeat until he's faced with a death sentence. Is he really going to drive us to the brink?"

"Of course, because he himself has chosen a dead end, he won't let me go. I've figured it out now, there's no need to be merciful to him anymore."

If Wang Yang had previously considered that he should be lenient with him as an elder, that leniency had now vanished.

After all, Wang Dadong had hidden his third uncle in his house, which proved that Wang Dadong could take his life at any time.

The next day, as soon as Wang Yang and Qin Tongtong stepped into the company, they saw Wang Xiaoyun warmly greeting everyone and preparing for the recruitment.

An uninformed person might mistake him for someone from the human resources department. However, seeing Wang Xiaoyun's appearance, Wang Yang became even more certain that what he was doing was definitely in his best interest.

After all, someone with Wang Xiaoyun's personality would never be so proactive in doing something if it didn't benefit him.

It seems that Wang Dadong gave him a lot of benefits, but also put a lot of pressure on him, otherwise he wouldn't be working so hard.

Qin Tongtong did not return to her own office, but followed Wang Yang into his office.

"When I saw Wang Xiaoyun like that, I wanted to dismiss him immediately."

"Removing him from his post is possible, but now is not the time. If we get rid of him, someone else will immediately take his place, and then we may not be able to control the situation."

The reason Wang Yang kept Wang Xiaoyun in the company was because he knew that the next person to join would definitely not be as easy to deal with as Wang Xiaoyun.

"If you find him an eyesore, try to have less contact with him recently. Anyway, he'll mainly be in the design department and the human resources department, so he won't be in front of you often."

Qin Tongtong nodded; she just couldn't stand Wang Xiaoyun's arrogant attitude.

"Okay, don't be angry. Think long-term. You have to understand, he's actually helping us right now. We know his every move. If it were someone else, we wouldn't know anything."

Wang Yang comforted Qin Tongtong. In fact, Qin Tongtong understood these principles, but she was just not used to them.

After Wang Xiaoyun arrived at the design department, she started giving orders and making pronouncements. Although the people in the design department were somewhat dissatisfied, they didn't dare to say anything, since the big boss had approved it.

Lin Fei, the head of the design department, has always had a strained relationship with Wang Xiaoyun. The two don't interact much, but they dislike each other.

Lin Fei disliked Wang Xiaoyun's pretentious manner, noting that she had no real skills but always liked to boast. Wang Xiaoyun, on the other hand, felt that Lin Fei was too serious and never responded to jokes with him, believing that he was two-faced and that everything he did was an act.

"Minister Lin, I think your design department should hire a few more people. Look at all of you, you're all so listless every day, and the company is lacking in fresh energy."

Upon hearing this, the design department staff secretly complained in their hearts, but dared not show it, after all, Wang Xiaoyun was also a "leader".

"Minister Wang, you don't need to worry about our department's affairs. Besides, we designers need to use our brains at high speed, so it's quite normal to be listless, isn't it?"

"You're wrong about that. The big boss sent me here to oversee the personnel recruitment in your design department, so I have to do it properly."

Lin Fei sneered. He didn't understand why he was put in charge of the recruitment when Wang Yang and Qin Tongtong both disliked Wang Xiaoyun.
