Chapter 1207 Showdown
After a conversation with the main management of the operations department, Jiang Nan saw these people off, and then let out a slight sigh.

Seeing this, Lin Hao smiled and said, "Why are you sighing? What do you think of them?"

"Hypocritical!" Jiang Nan said with a sigh.

"If you hadn't said those things in the cafeteria, they might have kept watching for a long time. VG's operations department is just full of these old hands!"

"Sigh!" Lin Hao sighed, saying with a hint of regret:

"Actually, they weren't like this before. When they first joined the company, everyone was full of enthusiasm."

"But at that time, the operational strategies of the Chinese company were always controlled by the head office. A group of foreigners who didn't understand China formulated strategies for the Chinese market, which made it impossible for them to exert their efforts. That's why they were worn down to this state!"

"And this is the main reason why VG needs to carry out localization reforms. If they don't reform and continue to follow the old model, VG China will soon be doomed!"

Jiang Nan nodded thoughtfully, then asked curiously:

"I still don't quite understand. If we follow the development path of Star Glory, our future will definitely be brighter. Why are you so fixated on saving VG?"

Lin Hao shook his head. He couldn't very well say that the main interactions between the characters in the story took place in VG.

So Lin Hao said, half sincerely and half evasively: Xingyao is indeed developing rapidly, but we have far too few talents in the communications industry.

"Moreover, enterprise channels need to be rebuilt; we have to go through all the steps that the entire telecommunications industry has to take!"

"VG has everything ready-made here: talent, channels, relationships, and even reputation. There's absolutely no need for them to do repetitive and ineffective things!"

Actually, what Jiang Nan was worried about was that Lin Hao still had feelings for Jian Ai, which was why she had this question. However, what Lin Hao said made a lot of sense, so she felt relieved.

At this moment, Jian Ai, accompanied by Liu Yingxia, knocked on Lin Hao's office door. Lin Hao instinctively said, "Come in!"

After Jane and Liu Yingxia entered the office, Jane said, "President Lin, the Human Resources Department is here to report to you!"

"Sit down!" Lin Hao gestured for Jian Ai and Liu Yingxia to sit down, and said in a businesslike tone, "What is it? Sit down and let's talk!"

"At noon, you asked our director about the progress of the optimization project. It was lunchtime and in a public place!"

"So our director can't explain it to you clearly, so we've come here specifically to give you a detailed report!"

"Alright, go ahead and say it!" Lin Hao was completely unpretentious, appearing to be listening attentively.

However, Lin Hao's attitude surprised Jian Ai greatly, because based on her understanding of Lin Hao, he must know that her purpose in coming here was to push back the optimization.

At this point, shouldn't Lin Hao be trying to hide and find someone to persuade her and Liu Yingxia to leave?

Lin Hao's attentive attitude was truly beyond her expectations, but she wasn't without options. Since she was already here today, she was determined to shift the blame for the optimization plan onto him and help them share the burden.

So he composed himself and said calmly:

"Our initial optimization plan was almost complete, and we conducted background checks on all employees. Later, due to the company merger, we revised the optimization plan..."

After Jian Ai finished her work report, Lin Hao nodded encouragingly:
"Your preliminary work is very thorough, and your work approach is also sound. However, as you have said, the merger of the two companies will definitely change the optimization plan. You still need to carefully consider this aspect..."

"Next, I'll need you to keep up the good work and finalize and implement the optimization plan as soon as possible, so as not to hinder the progress of the company merger!"

After listening to Lin Hao's businesslike words, Jian Ai felt helpless. Lin Hao's ability to both neutralize and attack was too strong. He absolved himself completely, leaving her with no way to deal with him.

It was only then that she suddenly realized that Lin Hao's abilities were now on a completely different level from hers, while her abilities remained at the level of five years ago.

Having finished reporting on his work and giving the necessary instructions, Lin Hao naturally had no reason to stay any longer.

However, Jane, who had reached the door, was unwilling to continue taking the blame, so she called out loudly at the door:
"Thank you for your instructions, Mr. Lin. We will carefully consider your guidance and strictly implement the employee optimization plan according to your requirements!"

"My colleagues in HR and I will definitely cooperate actively, and we will report on the progress of the optimization in a timely manner!"

However, Jane was not one to be trifled with. She immediately shirked all responsibility, emphasizing that although she was a pot, she was a non-stick pot.

After hearing Jian Ai shift the blame, Lin Hao also went to the door. After Jian Ai finished speaking, Lin Hao loudly said:

As I just said, I will not participate in the optimization work that you have already done in the early stages, since it is the work of your human resources department, so as not to be accused of me usurping power.

"As for your later work, since it involves the merger of the two companies, I will get involved at the appropriate time!"

Good heavens, the exchange between Lin Hao and Jian Ai completely stunned the secretary, Jiang Nan.

It was only then that Jiang Nan realized that the gap between herself and Jian Ai was enormous, and she couldn't help but feel discouraged. Could she possibly compete with such a rival?
The employees at the workstations outside naturally overheard the conversation between the two, so their attitude towards Liu Yingxia and Jian Ai did not improve much, and they still disliked them from the bottom of their hearts.

However, each of them had their own agenda.

Although Jian Ai failed to shift the blame, she could tell from Lin Hao's words that he would intervene in the optimization work later, which could be considered as helping to divert some of the attention.

Jiang Nan sat back down at her desk, closed the office door, and then patted her chest nervously.

Seeing this, Lin Hao laughed and teased, "What's wrong? Scared?"

"To be honest, a little!" Jiang Nan said, still shaken.

"Your verbal battles, though lacking the directness of swords and spears, are still quite terrifying in their bloodless confrontation!"

Lin Hao sighed deeply:
"That's probably one of the reasons why I can't get along with her. It's bad enough to be fighting with people at work every day, but then there's the backstabbing and scheming at home too. I'm exhausted!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nan was overjoyed. Unlike Jian Ai, she wasn't pretentious. She knew she had to cherish a man as outstanding as Lin Hao.

To put it bluntly, Jane can be willful because she has the means to abandon Lin Hao.

But Jiang Nan didn't think she had that ability or pride. She had been with Lin Hao for almost five years and knew exactly how outstanding he was. She couldn't wait to be with him.

Jiang Nan didn't know how to comfort Lin Hao for a moment, so she could only stay by his side silently.

The two of them kept busy like this, and for a moment they even felt that they complemented each other perfectly.

After get off work, the two went out to have dinner with the operations department staff to entertain their familiar employees.

······
Meanwhile, after getting off work, Jane wanted to go down the stairs, but when she realized she hadn't brought flat shoes, she felt a little melancholy.

If it were before, Lin Hao knew she had a habit of taking the stairs downstairs, so he would definitely have prepared a pair of flat shoes for her.

Now, a bitter feeling welled up in her heart. If Lin Hao were still here... sigh!

"Hey, your shoes must be hard to go down the stairs!" Liu Yingxia had originally planned to accompany Jian Ai down the stairs, but seeing that Jian Ai was wearing the same high heels as her, she immediately suggested, "Why don't we take the elevator down?"

"It's okay, I'll be fine barefoot. You take the elevator downstairs, and we'll meet down there!"

Liu Yingxia said nonchalantly, "Fine, I'll go with you. I've been running around in the fields since I was a kid!"

As she spoke, Liu Yingxia took out a plastic bag from her bag and told Jian Ai to put the high heels in it.

As the two descended the stairs, they chatted about the day's events. Liu Yingxia was somewhat puzzled as to why Jian Ai had gone to Lin Hao to report on her work. It was clearly a thankless task, so why did she still do it?

Jane smiled and said, "Actually, even if we didn't go to him today, he would definitely come looking for us!"

"Why?" Liu Yingxia asked, puzzled.

Jane smiled helplessly before explaining:
"Just like at noon, instead of helping to share the firepower, they concentrated their firepower on us!"

"In the afternoon, I wanted to take the initiative and say hello to him, telling him that he should discuss things before acting in the future and not do whatever he wants!"

At this point, Jane changed the subject, saying, "But I didn't expect that his level has improved so much that I ended up getting a rude awakening."

"Fortunately, he finally agreed to get involved in the optimization project later, which helped relieve some of the pressure on us."

Liu Yingxia stared at Jian Ai in disbelief, then said with a sigh:
"No wonder they say that birds of a feather flock together. Your open and covert struggles are really beyond the reach of us small fry!"

“What else?” Jane said proudly, then looked at Liu Yingxia and explained:
"There's nothing you can do. If you let him have his way, you'll be the one who offends people in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yingxia instantly realized what was happening, then shuddered and said incredulously:
"You mean he's using me as a pawn?"

"So what do you think?" Jane said helplessly, "You didn't realize it, did you?"

"No!" Liu Yingxia said with a wry smile, "I still don't understand what his purpose was in doing this?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Ai looked at Liu Yingxia in shock. Seeing that Liu Yingxia genuinely didn't know, Jian Ai then bluntly stated:

"He just wants to use us to clean up the operations department, and also get rid of all the people at VG who are against him!"

At this point, Jane said with a hint of doubt:

"Actually, I think his sudden transfer to VG as director must have had ulterior motives!"

"Next, we must find out what his purpose is in coming here!"

"All I know is this!" Liu Yingxia said with a sigh, "I think the best thing I ever did was bring you back!"

"I think you shouldn't be enemies with someone like him, he's too terrifying!"

Jane instinctively said, "They're not even suitable to be husband and wife!"

Liu Yingxia didn't respond to that, after all, the other person had just gotten divorced and was now working at the same company, so it wouldn't be appropriate for her to say anything at this time.

When Liu Yingxia got home, she found that Jia Kuan had already arrived home and had even washed and was hanging the clothes out to dry!

Seeing Liu Yingxia return, Jia Kuan was now much more confident. After all, he believed that with Lin Hao around, the optimization work would no longer be his responsibility.

The two then started talking about Jian Ai and Lin Hao. After listening, Jia Kuan subconsciously spoke up for Lin Hao.

"I think you shouldn't have brought Jane to the company; now it's so awkward!"

"Does this have anything to do with you, Mr. Jia?" Liu Yingxia showed Jia Kuan absolutely no leeway.

"What? Do I need your approval to hire whomever I want?"

As Liu Yingxia peeled the apple, she said calmly, "Wait until you become a director before you talk to me on equal terms!"

Jia Kuan didn't care at all, and even said with some smugness, "I may not be a director, but my wife is, and my brother is!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yingxia said in an annoyed tone:

"Let me tell you, don't even mention your brother. At lunchtime today in the cafeteria, he didn't give me any face at all. Does he even consider me his sister-in-law?"

Jia Kuan naturally knew about what happened at noon, so he awkwardly changed the subject:

"Okay, let's not talk about my brother, let's talk about your best friend!"

"You brought Jane to the company, and now these two are seeing each other all the time. Aren't you upset?"

In fact, Liu Yingxia had always been extremely envious of Jian Ai and Lin Hao, a perfect couple. She just never expected that such a perfect couple would also get divorced.

Thinking of this, Liu Yingxia said indifferently:
"What's there to be upset about? They're divorced, and they divorced amicably. If we were to divorce, someone like you would worry me sick!"

"See, you're provoking me again!" Upon hearing the word "divorce," Jia Kuan jumped, angrily walking up to Liu Yingxia and saying:

"Are you trying to force me to get agitated again?!"

"Let me show you!" Jia Kuan said, rolling up his sleeves as if he was about to get agitated, but when he saw Liu Yingxia holding a knife, he immediately calmed down.

"Come on, show me what you've got!" Liu Yingxia shouted angrily, pointing a fruit knife at Jia Kuan. "Go ahead and show me what you've got!"

Jia Kuan swallowed hard, then calmly advised, "Put the knife away for me. I'm allergic to knives!"

"Sit down!" Liu Yingxia showed no respect for Jia Kuan, pointing to the sofa and gesturing for him to sit down.

"Put the knife down first!" Jia Kuan said somewhat guiltily.

Liu Yingxia put the knife back on the coffee table, and Jia Kuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then lay down on the chaise lounge on the sofa at a distance.

"Come here!" Liu Yingxia said with dissatisfaction when she saw Jia Kuan sitting so far away.

"What are you doing!" Jia Kuan said reluctantly, "Speak up if you have something to say, it's not like I can't hear you, the clothes aren't even finished hanging up yet!"

"Come here and sit down!" Liu Yingxia's tone was quite forceful. Only after Jia Kuan reluctantly sat down did she say, angrily, "You're so weak-willed!"
"Can you please clear your head? You're about to be summoned for questioning. You'd better think about what you're going to say then!"

Jia Kuan was stunned when he heard this. How could there be a meeting? His wife is the HR director and his brother is the operations director of VG. How could he be called in for a meeting?

Seeing Liu Yingxia's serious expression, Jia Kuan's heart skipped a beat. He then swallowed hard and asked, "What are we meeting about?"
