Chapter 1213 Interview
"Take VG for example. Based on my understanding of you, no one in the entire company understands the interpersonal relationships in this company better than you!"

"Right or wrong!" Looking at Jia Kuan's stunned expression, Lin Hao opened another can of beer and said:
"Come on, let's have another drink to the fact that at our age we haven't given up on our dreams and are still racking our brains to keep moving forward!"

At this moment, Jia Kuan also said with emotion:
"To keep that little flame still burning in our hearts, let's add another drink to make it burn even brighter. Cheers!"

Let us pay tribute to our ideals, to the passage of time, and to friendship!

"May we be together for the rest of our lives!"

······
Good morning, Mr. Lin!

"Mr. Lin!"

"Good morning!" Lin Hao and Jiang Nan greeted the people along the way and stood at the elevator entrance waiting.

Jian Ai and Liu Yingxia arrived at the elevator lobby one after the other. At another elevator entrance, Liu Yingxia glanced at Jian Ai and gestured towards the front.

"President Lin!" Liu Yingxia greeted Lin Hao with a smile.

Lin Hao nodded, then exchanged a glance with Jian Ai before awkwardly looking away.

Jiang Nan, who was standing to the side, was secretly pleased to see the two of them not getting along.

"Let's go!" Lin Hao said after the elevator stopped, and then got on the elevator with Jiang Nan.

After Lin Hao left, Liu Yingxia and Jian Ai breathed a sigh of relief and then went upstairs in another elevator.

After arriving at the office, Liu Yingxia said to Jian Ai:
"I received two emails, one from Ada in the president's office, and the other..."

Seeing that Liu Yingxia hadn't finished speaking, Jian Ai added, "There's another letter, it should be from the operations director, sent to you personally!"

"Yes!" Liu Yingxia complained, somewhat annoyed.
"As the first optimization was coming to a close, everyone was urging us to come up with ideas for the second optimization, but at that time, no one said there would be any follow-up optimizations!"

"I took over the original plan halfway through, and I'm strictly following its contents now!"

Although they were best friends, seeing Liu Yingxia like this, Jian Ai had to remind her:
"As the HR director, you need to do more than just execute. You need to conduct HR analysis and make proposals based on the company's current situation. The optimization plan itself needs to be continuously optimized!"

Liu Yingxia found this very reasonable, and felt a little discouraged. Then, with a hint of envy, she asked:

"Or do you have the potential to be a director? So what do we do now?"

Jane was speechless. You're a human resources director, not a clerk. You have to follow orders for everything. You don't even have any initiative.

No, perhaps she didn't even have a sense of crisis, but after all, she was her best friend, and she was the one who invited her.

So Jane turned the computer around, speechless, and faced Liu Yingxia with the screen.

Liu Yingxia began to read in a low voice:

"Compensation mechanism, employment guidance mechanism, entrepreneurship support plan for personnel involved in optimization, and a summary of opinions on departmental restructuring!"

After reading it, Liu Yingxia said, somewhat bewildered, "This is just an optimization, is this really necessary?"

"Of course, I know you came to the company wanting to achieve something, but there's no need to dig such a big hole for yourself!"

"I had no idea the company had such a huge demand!" Liu Yingxia said nonchalantly.

"You didn't notice?" Jane asked incredulously.

"Look, what do you see?" Liu Yingxia was still a little confused.

"You don't actually think this is just a regular layoff plan, do you?" Jane thought to herself, feeling speechless, as if Liu Yingxia was putting on an act.

“Isn’t that right?” Liu Yingxia retorted.

"Sigh!" Jane rubbed her forehead and asked, "Didn't Andy tell you anything when he gave you this optimization list?"

"For example, terms like reform, adjustment, and rectification?"

"Yes, they did. They asked me what my thoughts were on the company's setbacks, and I said I understood, cooperated, and executed the decisions!"

"They also mentioned that the company would undergo reforms, personnel adjustments and optimizations, etc." Liu Yingxia thought for a moment and then answered truthfully.

Jane looked at Liu Yingxia and said, "So, you still haven't figured out what he meant?"

Liu Yingxia had a bad feeling. Seeing that Liu Yingxia was deep in thought, Jian Ai continued to ask:
"Can you figure out what Lin Hao is here for?"

“I know that!” Liu Yingxia blurted out.
"It's because our company merged with Xingyao, and they sent an advance team to take over the company's operations!"

Jane was somewhat desperate. No wonder Andy used her as cannon fodder; someone like Liu Yingxia wasn't someone you could play games with. So she spoke bluntly:
"Everyone knows that Andy wants to implement a comprehensive localization reform, and personnel optimization is only one part of it. In fact, this was also Lin Hao's idea at the time, but now it has been put into practice."

"The company's cooperation with Xingyao, and Lin Hao's appointment as the operations director of VG, is to transform VG China into VG China, and it has also become part of VG's localization reform!"

"And everything we're doing right now is paving the way for this!"

"Why didn't you tell me sooner!" Liu Yingxia said, her tone somewhat unpleasant.

Perhaps out of jealousy, or perhaps because Jane worked under her and did a better job, Liu Yingxia almost wore her dissatisfaction on her face.

Seeing that Jian Ai remained silent, Liu Yingxia said in an unfriendly tone:
"Could it be that they think I'm not good enough, so they don't want me to participate? Maybe I'm one of those being optimized!"

Liu Yingxia wasn't stupid either. After piecing together the events, she became even more certain of her judgment.

“Not now!” Jane said succinctly, “Why are you still emotional?”

"I have no emotions!" Liu Yingxia said coldly. "What emotions could I possibly have?"

"I should thank you for giving me a chance to live, but if I don't do well, won't it be even more shameful when I leave this world!"

"Can't you have a little confidence in yourself?!" Jane said speechlessly. "At least believe in my abilities!"

Liu Yingxia said, somewhat agitated:

"I believe in your abilities, and I am very grateful to you for giving me this opportunity to learn from you!"

"Look closely!" Jane said, pointing at the screen. "This plan came from your boss's HR department!"

Glancing at the screen, Liu Yingxia said sarcastically:

"With such a big commotion, if this plan goes well, everyone will know it's your doing, Jian Ai. If it doesn't, then I, Liu Yingxia, will take the blame!"

Feeling her good intentions were met with ingratitude, Jane was getting impatient and said irritably, "There's a more dignified way!"

"Say!"

"Resign!" Jane said coldly, "That way you won't have to take the blame for anything!"

Seeing Jane's indifferent expression, Liu Yingxia assumed that Jane wanted to take her place, and said incredulously:
"I hired you through the M3 process, do you think it's appropriate for you to say this to me?"

Jane looked at Liu Yingxia and said, "I'm telling you the truth, even though it sounds harsh!" "Very harsh!" Liu Yingxia glared at Jane as well.

······
When it was noon, Lin Hao and Jia Kuan went to the cafeteria, got their food, and sat down at a random table.

When Jia Kuan saw Liu Yingxia and Jian Ai, the two of them, who were usually as close as one person, were sitting separately today, and it seemed that they did not want to talk to each other.

"What's going on?!" Jia Kuan whispered to Lin Hao, "I heard those two didn't get along this morning!"

Lin Hao glanced at it, then said to Jia Kuan, "Eat your food and don't ask any questions!"

"Was it caused by you?!" Seeing that Lin Hao didn't speak, Jia Kuan asked suspiciously.

"It was definitely you! I knew it was you just by looking at your guilty face!"

"What do you mean I caused this? I just urged her to speed up her work!"

"Isn't that still you?" Jia Kuan said irritably, "Hurry up and resolve this, I don't want her to take her anger out on me when I get home!"

"Ha!" Lin Hao sneered, "I don't even know what happened, what am I supposed to solve? How am I supposed to solve it?"

Although Lin Hao knew why, it was indeed very interesting to see Jia Kuan being manipulated.

"No matter what the reason, it's definitely related to you. You'd better figure out a solution quickly!" Jia Kuan glanced at Liu Yingxia and Jian Ai, who were already having a cold war not far away, and then said in a low voice:

"Are you even a brother? Anyway, she's going to come home and deal with me, and I'm not done with you!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Lin Hao replied helplessly.

"Don't just talk the talk, take action to solve the problem!" Jia Kuan said.

"Okay!" Lin Hao shook his head and said, "I'll ask your wife out alone later, alright?"

"That's more like it!" After saying that, Jia Kuan felt something was off, so he said in a puzzled tone, "Why does this sound so awkward to me?"

"Is it awkward?"

"It's awkward!"

"Then why don't you come with me!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense and eat!" Jia Kuan said, and without any hesitation, took the food from Lin Hao's plate.

······
After lunch, Lin Hao sent Liu Yingxia a text message and then went to the rooftop to enjoy the view.

A short while later, Liu Yingxia came to the rooftop dejectedly and reluctantly approached Lin Hao.

"Alright, just stand there!" Before he even reached Lin Hao, Lin Hao stopped him, saying, "I'm afraid you'll push me off!"

"How dare you say that!" Liu Yingxia said irritably, "You're my master, how could I dare!"

Lin Hao and Jian Ai's divorce seems to have been going on for the past two days, but Jian Ai hasn't held a grudge against Lin Hao.

However, because Lin Hao was urging her, she didn't give him a friendly look.

"That's hard to say!" Lin Hao joked at this moment.

"You may not have thought of it, but you might do it, because usually, the time from the idea to the execution of such an extreme act as pushing someone off a building is only a second!"

"You have moments of guilt too!" Liu Yingxia said speechlessly.

"I feel guilty? When have you ever seen me feel guilty?" Lin Hao said righteously and sternly.

"If I had a guilty conscience, I wouldn't have called you here!"

"Hurry up and tell me what it is!" Liu Yingxia said impatiently.

Although he knew the reason, Lin Hao didn't want to point it out directly, so he reminded him:

You should know about the company's localization reforms, right?

"I know!" Liu Yingxia's expression darkened as she recalled Jian Ai's words from earlier that day.

Lin Hao then asked, "Since when did the proportion of foreign employees being transferred back to headquarters, or going to other countries, start to rise rapidly?"

“It started in the second half of last year!” Liu Yingxia said.

Lin Hao nodded and continued, "That means Andy's plan has been in place for more than half a year. In other words, whether I come or not, the reform is inevitable!"

"President Lin, this kind of strategic matter is none of your business!" After Lin Hao had been talking in circles for a long time, Liu Yingxia was getting a little impatient.

Lin Hao stared at Liu Yingxia with disbelief, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. Only then did Lin Hao continue:

"Ms. Liu Yingxia, Director of Human Resources, what is your position at VG?"

Seeing Lin Hao looking at her with a puzzled expression, Liu Yingxia said speechlessly, "HR Director, you said it yourself!"

"Then say what you just said again!" Lin Hao said solemnly.

"Strategic matters are none of my business, is that it?" Liu Yingxia: "Is there a problem?"

"So what is your position?" Lin Hao asked the same question again.

"HR director! You know perfectly well, why are you asking?" Liu Yingxia said unhappily.

Seeing that Liu Yingxia still hadn't realized what was happening, Lin Hao turned to look at the scenery of Beijing, sighed, and asked somewhat helplessly:

"Liu Yingxia, I really didn't expect that after I left the company, although your position got higher and higher, your abilities not only didn't improve, but even your reactions became so slow!"

"What do you mean? What did I do to offend you? Is it necessary to insult me ​​like this?" Liu Yingxia said, somewhat displeased.

Liu Yingxia felt that Lin Hao and Jian Ai were both working against her, and that Lin Hao might have asked her to meet him to help Jian Ai get revenge.

Lin Hao said calmly, "If you don't understand the position of HR Director, or if your English isn't good, then I'll explain to you what the HR Director is all about!"

"The English title for Human Resources Director is HR Director or Chief HR Officer. They report directly to the President, CEO, and Board of Directors, and are at the same level as the CFO, CTO, and COO, belonging to the company's senior management!"

"And you're actually telling me that company strategy has nothing to do with you!" Lin Hao then said with a surprised expression:

"So, in your mind, the company's strategic issues have absolutely nothing to do with you, the HR director, or any of the company's senior management, is that right?"

Liu Yingxia was stunned by what Lin Hao said, and then her face turned pale and then red, feeling a burning pain on her face.

After stirring up Liu Yingxia's emotions, Lin Hao then solemnly said:

"If you don't adjust your mindset in time and continue to work with the mentality of a nobody or a clerk, only following orders, then you probably won't be able to hold the position of HR director for long!"

Hearing this, Liu Yingxia felt a pang of sadness, and then said somewhat dejectedly:
"Whatever. Anyway, no matter what you say, ever since I became the HR director and took over the employee optimization, I was destined to be laid off, wasn't I?"
