“Prior to joining the company, I had already initiated inquiries,” Fang Yuan’s gaze traversed the assembled crowd. “Our company integrates aspects of product design, development, production, and sales. Additionally, we are open to specific orders, such as processing. Currently, beyond footwear and apparel, our inventory encompasses accessories and various other items.”
There must be an underlying issue for the company’s lack of progress over the past year.
“I have just completed a tour of the company premises. A significant portion of the machinery is outdated and inadequate for contemporary demands. Kindly notify the Procurement Department to effect the replacement of these machines with newer models within a span of three days. This will encompass a sex-vang machine, fabric dispenser, needle inspection apparatus, printing machinery, a fully automated packaging device, and so forth. A detailed inventory will follow.”
Upon hearing this, those present were subtly stirred with excitement. The desire to replace these subpar machines had lingered for quite some time!
“The company is pursuing two avenues of development. One entails the conception of innovative products. The second involves sustaining ongoing growth and the continued acceptance of orders.”
“In the imminent future, substantial adjustments to the company’s management will transpire. I urge each of you to be mentally prepared.”
“Should anyone be uncooperative within interdisciplinary collaborations or struggle to embrace the forthcoming changes, feel free to submit your resignation directly to the Human Resources department.”
“Subsequently, feel at liberty to visit my office for clarifications at any time. With that, today’s meeting draws to a close. You are dismissed!”
With these words, Fang Yuan stood, exuding a commanding aura.
Many individuals harbored an inkling that transformative shifts were afoot for the company. The era of rainy weather was drawing to a close, making way for sunnier days ahead!
Fang Yuan had barely settled back into her office when her phone rang. She answered, “Grandpa Sun?”
“My dear, I’ve arrived in Jing City. Might you have a moment for lunch? How about joining your old Grandpa for a meal?” His hearty laughter resonated from the other end. “Even if you’re swamped, you must make time. Care to guess the occasion?”
“It’s your birthday.” Fang Yuan promptly responded. Amidst her recent whirlwind of activity, she had actually overlooked Grandpa Sun’s birthday! She hadn’t even prepared a gift.
“Dear girl, it warms my heart that you’ve remembered your old Grandpa’s birthday! Join me at Donghu Restaurant at noon. Our cherished private room awaits. Shall I come to pick you up?”
Fang Yuan replied, “Sure, I’ll share my location with you.”
Upon ending the call, Fang Yuan transmitted her location to Grandpa Sun. Subsequently, she searched through her bag, realizing that she hadn’t brought anything of value today. A thought struck her – the production department at her company possessed several useful machines.
Meanwhile, Zhou Hao, the Director of the Designing Department, and Gu Panpan were visiting the production department to inspect the recently designed products. While engrossed in their discussion, they spotted Fang Yuan.
“I’ll be utilizing the machine for a while. Carry on, you two,” Fang Yuan announced, instructing her assistant to bring the fabric. Following several rounds of selection, she eventually settled on the material and color. After a flurry of activity in the production department, she managed to swiftly assemble several sets of clothing before departing in haste.
Zhou Hao and Gu Panpan exchanged incredulous glances, utterly astonished by the entire spectacle. They couldn’t fathom how President Fang had efficiently crafted multiple outfits in such a brief span. Notably, the process was flawlessly executed in one go. Moreover, President Fang had not even employed a model, yet the styles she produced were remarkably appealing. Who exactly was this President Fang? The whole scenario seemed unbelievable!
Following the successful completion of Grandpa Sun’s birthday gift, Fang Yuan received another WeChat message from Bo Yi.
[Where are you working?]
Observing Fang Yuan’s lack of response, he sent a follow-up message: [How’s your first day at work going?]
After a moment’s reflection, he appended: [Has anyone been treating you unfairly?]
Fang Yuan promptly shared her location with Bo Yi, who examined it with curiosity. It was revealed that she was currently situated at a modest clothing company affiliated with the Cheng Family. Only two days had passed since her return home, and she was already assuming control of the company?
[Are you feeling exhausted?] Bo Yi couldn’t bear the thought of her overexerting herself.
Fang Yuan responded: [I’m not tired. It’s quite pleasant, actually. No one has given me any trouble.] She answered all the messages in one go.
Bo Yi: [Would you like to have lunch together?)
Fang Yuan: [Perhaps another time, I have a noon appointment with someone.]
Bo Yi: [A man?]
Fang Yuan: [Yes.]
Bo Yi felt a pang of jealousy and disappointment upon reading her response. His emotions were getting the best of him.
[Which restaurant are you at? Shall i drive you there?]
Fang Yuan replied: [No need.] She then picked up the report handed to her by Wang Ning and refrained from checking her phone further.
At noon, Grandpa Sun called Fang Yuan. Learning that he had arrived downstairs, she grabbed her bag and descended the stairs.
“Master Bo, would you like to come along?” Mu Qing hadn’t anticipated Miss Fang Yuan’s swift takeover of the company once she acknowledged her family. He was equally surprised by her refusal of Master Bo’s lunch invitation and her choice to board another person’s car!
The license plate number struck him as unfamiliar – definitely not from the upper echelons of Jing City. He remained oblivious to the occupant’s background as well. Nonetheless, given Master Bo’s appearance, it was apparent that a man was inside the vehicle!
“Come along where?” Bo Yi’s tone was tinged with disapproval. “We simply need to find a place to dine.”
“Of course…” You’re the boss, and you’re right.. But when you mentioned finding a place to eat, it wasn’t the same venue as Miss Fang Yuan’s, right? Ha ha, what an obstinate man!
