I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 312 You've been demoted!
The decision was so sudden that even Zhang Yangwen was stunned for a moment.

After Jiang Shuyue left, Zhang Yangwen couldn't help but ask Su Cheng, "Brother Cheng, why was Manager Jiang demoted? I think she's a great person..."

Zhang Yangwen began to recall all the events that had happened between him and Jiang Shuyue. From the first time he met Jiang Shuyue after arriving in Macau, he had a good impression of her.

Zhang Yangwen couldn't understand Su Cheng's sudden demotion.

"Can't you see that she's not suited for a supervisory role?"

"Huh?" Zhang Yangwen looked surprised. "This... I really didn't see that coming."

Su Cheng explained, "She's too approachable; she doesn't act like a leader at all."

Su Cheng was referring to appearance, not demeanor.

If a branch manager has reached the point where anyone can joke around with her, then that company is already on the verge of collapse.

Su Cheng didn't care about their private relationships, but she had to maintain a professional demeanor at the company.

You can be approachable, but not too approachable.

Zhang Yangwen was still a little worried: "But Brother Cheng, won't this exacerbate our internal conflicts?"

He had just brought up the emotional issues and profit-sharing issues with Su Cheng, hoping that Su Cheng would increase her control over RK.

But if Su Cheng demotes Jiang Shuyue so suddenly, everyone's dissatisfaction may rise even higher.

"After all, she was already a leader before we arrived."

Su Cheng demoted Jiang Shuyue in order to adjust the internal atmosphere and system.

He will release a recruitment notice in the next two days. Originally, RK had 10 people, but Su Cheng will release 15 internship positions.

Zhang Yangwen thought about it seriously. Did Su Cheng mean to break them up?

Should we form two different groups?
"They will be divided into two groups, but they don't need to be broken up."

"The veteran employees will be grouped together, while the new colleagues will be grouped separately."

The team leader for the new colleague's group has been decided, and it will be Jiang Shuyue.

Zhang Yangwen's eyebrows twitched.

This is a good idea.

If new and old employees are assigned to the same group, they will likely face exclusion from their older colleagues.

This kind of bullying doesn't just happen in the workplace; it can occur even in a regular bubble tea shop.

If the teams are divided into two groups, one new and one old, and they have no overlap in their work, then all that's left is competition and comparison.

"Yes, this is exactly what I want."

The original RK branch had low business volume, and these old employees had become lazy.

Competition fosters cohesion, teamwork, and initiative.

Under Jiang Shuyue's leadership, everyone got along like friends. They could slack off whenever they wanted and do whatever they wanted, just like it was their own backyard. They didn't even clock in on time.

Su Cheng looked at their attendance sheets and found that many people were late or left early, but none of them had been punished.

It was obvious that Jiang Shuyue had given her approval. Whenever someone said they had something to do and needed to leave, or that they were sick or a few minutes late, Jiang Shuyue would never punish them.

That's so gentle.

Let alone placing it at Shengyue, it wouldn't be allowed even at RK headquarters.

Jiang Shuyue's abilities are probably not a problem, but she is not suitable to be a leader.

Su Cheng felt that her leadership skills might not be as good as Mu Xueping's from the original Shengyue Group 7.

Su Cheng asked Zhang Yangwen to take over the personnel work for the next two days.

"The job posting clearly states that we accept applicants from any region, will reimburse travel expenses, and require applicants to truthfully disclose their work location and internship benefits. It also clearly states that we only need 15 people."

With the reputation of the Emperor Group, even if the work location is in Macau, recruiting 15 people is not a problem and can be easily filled.

It's impossible to get these elderly people to operate like Sheng Yue all at once, so Su Cheng can only temporarily use this method to mobilize their energy.

Let's see if anyone realizes they need to change. If not, Su Cheng will simply eliminate them and replace them with new people.

If these people won't do it, there are plenty of others who would.

Su Cheng knew that his words might cause controversy, but usually it was when employees were exploited to the extreme, and the boss still felt they weren't working hard enough.

The situation is different for RK.

These people are lazy and lack initiative. If they don't adjust their working methods at RK, they shouldn't blame Su Cheng for taking drastic measures.

Zhang Yangwen asked, "What about Supervisor Jiang?"

Su Cheng demoted Jiang Shuyue not only because she was unsuitable for leadership, but also as a warning to others.

This is an ultimatum from Su Cheng.

“I only demoted her position, not her rank. She is still K9.”

"Let's take her to see the place first."

Su Cheng's "take a look" here means that he will let Jiang Shuyue work on the front line first, and he can guide her.

As for whether she can stay in the core department as a team leader in the future, that depends on herself.

If that doesn't work, she should be put in charge of human resources and administration, doing clerical and logistical work, or she can stay in the business department but as a team member.

Su Cheng felt that Jiang Shuyue was not stupid and was a smart person. She must know why she was demoted.

If Jiang Shuyue doesn't want to become a member of level K9, she needs to make changes and adjust her work style in RK.

The news of Jiang Shuyue's demotion and RK's recruitment of new employees quickly spread internally.

Gu Jingyan was shocked when she learned of this news, and she immediately went to find Jiang Shuyue.

At this moment, Jiang Shuyue was packing her things in the supervisor's office, as she would soon have to move her work location to the lobby outside.

After closing the door, Gu Jingyan immediately asked, "Shuyue, what's going on? What happened? Why were you demoted?"

Jiang Shuyue felt quite wronged, but she forced herself to remain calm and tried not to appear so weak. To be honest, she was even tempted to cry: "Mm."

"What about me and Xu Wenlin?"

"The original Group 1 has been changed to Group 2. Xu Wenlin is now the group leader of Group 2, and your deputy group leader position has been revoked."

Gu Jingyan: ? ? ?

ha?
Did they remove her from the position of deputy group leader?

No, so she's involved in this too?

Why didn't he talk to me?

In her anger, Gu Jingyan had forgotten that she wasn't high enough in rank to warrant a face-to-face meeting with Su Cheng.

"So all of our people were transferred to Group Two?"

"I don't know about that. President Su didn't tell me. He only said that the specific personnel are yet to be assigned."

Gu Jingyan understood.

Su Cheng intends to break up the original RK team and divide them into two groups.

"I'm going to talk to him!"

As Gu Jingyan spoke, she walked towards the office exit. Jiang Shuyue, seeing this, quickly put down what she was holding and pulled her back.

She knew Gu Jingyan's personality well; she knew that Su Cheng would definitely start arguing within three sentences.

Su Cheng's reason for her was that she was too approachable. She had noticed this problem from the beginning, but hadn't dealt with it due to work and business reasons, and was only making adjustments now.

Jiang Shuyue was actually aware of this problem herself. She was getting too close to her colleagues, and because there were few of them, she had turned everyone into her friends.

But that's just her personality. Her colleagues all say she's a really nice person, and they can't bring herself to be fierce to anyone.

Needless to say, Gu Jingyan is her best friend, and they both switched jobs from the same company to Dihao.

Any colleague could come to her office to chat, whether they had something to do or not, and anyone could come up to her and crack a joke.

Objectively speaking, Su Cheng's judgment was accurate.

She might really not be suited to be this manager.

This all happened so suddenly that she couldn't accept it right away. Seeing that Jiang Shuyue showed no intention of arguing, resisting, or defending her rights, Gu Jingyan's anger flared even more: "No, Shuyue, how did he manipulate you?"

"Bro did a case for the Ma family, does he really think he's a genius?"

Gu Jingyan was thinking of calling Xu Wenlin over so that they could join forces with other colleagues to confront Su Cheng.

Let's see how long he can keep playing.

Jiang Shuyue quickly stopped Gu Jingyan above her: "Don't do this! It's not good for anyone!"

"I just can't swallow this!"

When Gu Jingyan switched to Dihao Group, she was a K7 member, but now she's been demoted to a regular team member?
Why did she switch jobs in the first place?
Even though Geely is a super big manufacturer, it's not that respectable!

She'd rather be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond. She was doing quite well at her original consulting firm, and she wouldn't have switched jobs if a headhunter hadn't poached her!
"No, Jingyan, our salaries have doubled too."

"So what? Is this a reason to demote me?"

"Your level remains unchanged; you still enjoy the benefits of a K7 rank."

Gu Jingyan wasn't buying it.

He's already been demoted to a regular team member, so a full demotion is just a matter of time.

Jiang Shuyue is being far too naive!

……

Su Cheng was in charge of recruiting new employees, while Zhang Yangwen was responsible for screening resumes.

Despite the fact that the workplace is located in Australia, many people come here because of the Emperor Group's brand.

Moreover, many people believe that Australia is a big city and a good place.

Many people even fly in from inland cities like Qinzhou just for this interview.

However, most of my colleagues are from the Guangdong and Fujian regions.

They were either junior managers in a small factory or seasoned professionals; there were also recent graduates, but Su Cheng chose fewer of them.

In just two days, Su Cheng recruited 15 interns.

During the past two days of job interviews, many people lined up in the hallway, and many of my former colleagues had very unpleasant expressions on their faces when they saw this.

Because these people are full of energy and vitality, they are the fresh blood that RK draws in.

in other words.

These new employees are perfectly capable of replacing the older staff.

Many people felt a sense of crisis, which, over time, turned into discontent.

The one leading them was Gu Jingyan.

These past two days, she's been discussing with two of her girlfriends and a few former colleagues how to ostracize these newcomers.

Since they're newbies with little experience, you can just leave them alone, not teach them anything, not ask them anything, and not bother them with anything.

They will naturally make mistakes in their work.

Su Cheng will still need to rely on these old-timers then.

This is the case with super-large manufacturers like Geely and Jinhong.

The same situation applies to milk tea shops and burger shops on the street.

Unless you are truly capable and have many years of experience in the consulting industry, it will take a long time to become familiar with their work.

Not to mention offering any constructive suggestions, independently developing a plan, or handling execution and coordination.

It's like a bubble tea shop: if a senior employee teaches a few new employees, then that senior employee can be laid off.

This isn't a question of right or wrong; it's just human nature.

"Hey Jingyan, has Team Leader Xu said anything yet? If he doesn't support us, we can't get this going."

"He hasn't said yet, but don't worry, he agreed as soon as I mentioned it." Gu Jingyan said confidently, "Let's see how they organize the groups first."

The group assignment list hasn't been released yet, so Gu Jingyan needs to know who's in her group and how easy or difficult it is to manage them.

Gu Jingyan saw it yesterday; among the interns Su Cheng recruited were even two seasoned professionals in their thirties. These kinds of people are not easy to deal with.

The rest seemed to be young people in their twenties, but some of them didn't look friendly.

“Jingyan, I heard from Sister Shuyue that all these interns seem to have been grouped together, and they’re not in the same group as us.”

Gu Jingyan: ? ? ?

"When did you say that?"

"Just last night."

"what???"

Not in the same group?
Does this mean interns are in one group and senior employees are in another?
What's the point of fighting then?
Isn't this a clear competition between the old and new teams?

If someone is incompetent, just fire them; why create so much conflict?

Gu Jingyan hadn't expected Su Cheng to be so ruthless!

"So what do we do now?"

"I don't think Sister Shuyue seems to have any sense of crisis. She seems quite happy to mentor those newcomers."

"Of course she doesn't feel any sense of crisis..."

Gu Jingyan could easily see that Jiang Shuyue's demotion was only temporary, and that as long as Jiang performed well, she would still have a chance to be promoted.

But she is different.

The deputy team leader has been dismissed; whether he will be reinstated is uncertain.

Su Cheng mainly wanted to use this matter to remind these older folks.

"Should we bring Sister Shuyue in and have her stop mentoring newcomers?"

Gu Jingyan shook her head: "Impossible. Don't you know Jiang Shuyue? She would never go against Su Cheng."

She could tell from the office a couple of days ago that Jiang Shuyue didn't dare to confront Su Cheng and even advised her not to.

Gu Jingyan finally understood the situation.

Even if Jiang Shuyue wasn't on the opposite side of these old people, she was still Su Cheng's helper.

We are not in a community of shared interests with them.

Su Cheng's move was brilliant!

Aren't they afraid that all their long-term employees will resign?

RK just took on the investment commission from the Ma family, and then the company went into a standstill. Does that mean there are still commissions to be made?
Even with just Su Cheng, Zhang Yangwen, and Jiang Shuyue, they couldn't manage it.

What can the new interns do?

When the other two girls heard that Gu Jingyan was going to lead everyone in resigning, they looked at each other in unison.

"Um, Jingyan, maybe you shouldn't resign. This is going too far."

"Yes, Jingyan, what if he really agrees?"

“My family knows I work at Geely, and they feel very proud of me when they talk about it. They’d kill me if I suddenly quit.”

Gu Jingyan looked at the two girls with disdain: "What are you afraid of? He won't agree to our resignations."

"Let's just forget about it, Jingyan, this is way too much..."

"Jingyan, have you considered that even if President Su doesn't agree now, isn't he also considering having someone else replace us? Don't do that..."

"No, why are you all so timid? Where's that gossipy energy you usually have when you're with me?"

"Jingyan, this isn't about being timid or not; it's about losing your job!"

"Jingyan, I have to go now. I haven't done the work that Team Leader Xu just assigned me. I'm going back now."

Gu Jingyan: ? ? ?

No, her plan is brilliant!
Are you guys just here to play games with me?
