1748 Chapter 68: misfortune (6) Gu Xin’s hard work
In the long hospital corridor.
Wang Wei walked over and sat next to Gu Xin.
Gu Xin turned to look at Wang Wei and silently buried her head again.
Wang Wei sighed and said, “I’m not sure what happened, but seeing your father’s excited expression, I know it’s not a small matter.”
Gu Xin nodded.
It was not a small matter.
It was very possible that the GU corporation was already so late.
The family business of several generations had fallen on her just like that.
“But it’s a huge matter, and it’s also the most important thing for people,”Wang Wei said word by word.
Gu Xin bit her lip.
She thought that Wang Wei had come out to blame her.
After all, she had made her father so angry that he was hospitalized.
Wang Wei took the initiative to hold Gu Xin’s hand. “Little Xin, don’t be too sad. If one day you get so angry that you end up on the bed, have you ever thought about how your father would feel?”
“I just feel that I’m really stupid,”Gu Xin said in a very light and indifferent voice.
She really felt that she was really stupid.
“Who said that you’re Stupid?”Wang Wei denied. “You’re just too kind.”
Gu Xin smiled bitterly.
There was actually someone who consoled her like that.
“I’ve always liked your personality. You’re always willing to do anything for your friends, family, and people you don’t like. You’re carefree, so you’ve never been calculative. I really don’t want to see a worried-looking little xin. This isn’t the you I know.”
“Little mom,”gu Xin called out to her. “Thank you for your affirmation. But…”
Wang Wei looked at her and hesitated.
“It’s possible that the company will go bankrupt or be snatched away by others because of me.”
“Is that all?”Wang Wei asked.
Gu Xin looked up at Wang Wei.
Isn’t that a big deal? !
“Money is just a worldly possession. The safety of the family shouldn’t be more important,”Wang Wei said seriously. “I didn’t marry your father because of his money.”
Gu Xin smiled.
It was a good thing that such a little mother was accompanying her father.
She was really afraid that Wang Wei would abandon him when his father ran out of money. If that happened, his father would be in an even worse situation.
“Little Xin,”Wang Wei said, “Let’s do our best to listen to the will of Heaven.”
“Okay.”Gu Xin nodded.
Do our best to listen to the will of heaven.
If everything couldn’t be salvaged, there was nothing she could do.
She took a deep breath and smiled. “Thank you, Little Mom. I’m in a much better mood.”
“Silly, aren’t we family?”
“This is the first time I’ve felt that having a mother is really good.”Gu Xin leaned on Wang Wei’s shoulder. “You said that you’re less than five years older than me. Why do you have such a maternal aura?”
“Are you saying that I’m Old?”
Gu Xin smiled. “I’m saying that you’re very feminine.”
“Why do I feel like there’s a hidden meaning in your words?”
“You praise me and doubt me.”Gu Xin pouted and looked at the ceiling above her head. She said faintly, “Little mom, I’ll leave my dad in your care from now on.”
“I’ll marry your dad for the rest of my life.”
“I feel that the best decision I’ve ever made in my life was to let my dad meet you.”
Wang Wei smiled.
She was a really kind person.
“Really, little mom,”Gu Xin said word by word.
Wang Wei nodded. “And I also think that the luckiest thing in my life is to meet you and your dad.”
As long as they were home.
As long as they were home.
Gu Xin leaned on Wang Wei’s body for a while.
“You should go and accompany my dad. He should be worried to death about us,”Gu Xin said.
“What About You?”Wang Wei didn’t want to enter the ward yet.
“I’ll go out and do my best,”Gu Xin stood up from the chair in the corridor and said to Wang Wei, “Tell my dad that I’m going to handle the matters at the company. Although I may not be very capable, I’ll do my best. Tell my dad to rest more and only go to work after he’s rested.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Gu Xin smiled and turned around to leave.
From this moment on, the burden of the family would be placed on her.
She would do her best.
But if the results weren’t good, she wouldn’t blame anyone.
She could only blame herself for not meeting the right people.
She took a taxi back to the company.
Everyone in the company was panicking as they watched her appear. The people who were gossiping with her dispersed in twos and threes. It had to be said that there were fewer and fewer people working in the company. Most of the middle-level cadres had left. From the looks of the television station.., danger lurked everywhere. Coupled with the chairman suddenly fainting, the gossip reached its peak.
Gu Xin returned to her office.
The Secretary knocked on the door and entered. “Manager Gu.”
Gu Xin looked up at the secretary.
The secretary smiled. “Is the chairman okay?”
“He’s fine,”Gu Xin said.
The Secretary suddenly didn’t know what to say. Everyone knew that the television station had undergone a drastic change in the past few days. Most probably, no one was in a good mood. They were afraid that if they asked too many questions, they would step into manager Gu’s minefield.
“How many years have you been in the company?”Gu Xin asked.
“Me?”The secretary was shocked. “I’ve been in the company for almost seven years. I’ve been here since I graduated from university.”
“It means that you should be very clear about the operation of the company.”
“I think so.”The Secretary didn’t know what manager Gu was going to do? !
“Mm, then from now on, I want you to cooperate with me and get the company up and running again. You may have to work overtime continuously in the next few days. You should be mentally prepared.”
“Yes.”The Secretary had never seen manager Gu so serious before. She didn’t know if she was serious or not, but she agreed with a little trepidation.
She felt that manager Gu was a little strange.
“Don’t look at me like that. People learn to grow up.”Gu Xin opened the door and nodded. Then, she looked at the stock market that opened in the afternoon.
It was really too horrible to look at.
Her eyes paused, as if she was trying to calm herself down. She said, “Now, help me get a detailed list of all the programs that are being broadcast at the television station during this period of time. The fields include the start time, the end time, the viewership ratings, and the viewership share. Compared to other television stations at the same time, they have a competitive advantage. At the same time, give me a detailed list of all the programs that are being broadcast during this period of time as well as the amount of the fees. Also, give me detailed information about the sponsors of the programs that have sponsors and provide me with the contract that was signed at the beginning. In addition, for the program we are preparing now, you need to give me a detailed list of which program you are preparing to take over, indicating where the progress is!”
The Secretary was a little confused.
This was the first time she felt that manager Gu could speak so clearly.
However, it had to be said that the secretary had gone through professional special training to be able to reach her current position. Moreover, at that time, in order to let manager Gu better study in the company, the chairman had used the best secretary in the entire Gu family to assign to manager Gu, who said that she had been neglecting her work with manager Gu during this period of time? After all, she still had her abilities.
The Secretary said respectfully in the next second, “Yes, I’ll go and prepare immediately.”
“The sooner the better. I hope it’s within today.”
“Okay.”The secretary nodded.
It had been a long time since she had such a high-intensity job. She suddenly found the passion to work.
The secretary turned around and left.
Gu Xin picked up the phone and dialed, “Manager Wu, Hello, this is Gu Xin.”
“Hello, manager Gu.”
“Do you have any important work on your hands now?”
“Manager Gu, if you have anything you need, please feel free to ask,”manager Wu said respectfully.
He was the head of manpower. Manager Gu definitely wouldn’t be looking for him at this time.
“Help me tally up all the GU employees who have come to work in the past two days. “You should be able to tell from their attendance. For those who are absent for no reason, give me a list of their job responsibilities, as well as the projects they are currently responsible for. “For those who are absent for no reason, give me a detailed work resume. I need to re-hire them.”
“Yes.”The person on the other end of the line was extremely respectful.
“Can you do it by today?”
“Yes.”
“Sorry for the trouble.”
“It’s my pleasure, manager Gu,”the person on the other end of the line said respectfully.
Gu Xin nodded slightly and hung up the phone.
She leaned against her office chair.
Right now, all she could think about was how to solve the internal problem.
Zhai Yi was suppressing them by controlling the internal power of Gu Enterprise. She had to let the company operate normally before she could consider some methods to deal with the outside world, she really did not know how effective she would be after doing this.
But for the first time, she really wanted to try.
She really wanted to try.
That day.
Gu Xin worked an all-nighter in the office.
After 7 pm, the secretary sorted out all the things that she had to do and handed them over to her. Then, she accompanied her and watched the whole night.
There were many things that she did not understand that needed the secretary to explain, so the whole process was really slow.
At the same time, at 8 pm, the human resources department also gave her a resume of all the employees in the company during this period of time. Then, they started to sort and discuss according to her wishes.
The three of them didn’t stop working day and night.
It wasn’t until 10 am the next day that Gu Xin sorted out all the information she wanted.
Gu Xin stretched her body. The secretary and Supervisor Wu were so tired that they were leaning on the table and falling asleep.
She actually felt that she had let them down.
But at this moment, she couldn’t say that they should go back and rest first because she couldn’t handle it alone.
She couldn’t handle too many things. There were even some professional things that she couldn’t understand, so she needed their opinions.
She quietly left the conference table, opened the conference room door, and left.
There were still a lot of employees going to work. Most of the people who left were managers, so most of the employees were still there.
She walked past the large office and headed to the pantry.
There were two employees drinking coffee inside, but when they saw gu xin appear, they greeted her respectfully and quickly finished their coffee before leaving.
Gu Xin took a deep breath.
She made herself a cup of instant coffee and drank it rather quickly.
She wanted to improve herself as soon as possible.
Now, everyone in the company looked at her like she was a monster. In the past, she was actually very popular in the company because she didn’t care about anything at work.
After drinking her coffee, she went to wash up and even touched up her makeup to make herself look more energetic.
After walking around the room, she returned to the conference room.
The secretary and manager Wu had both woken up and were a little embarrassed. “I’m sorry, manager Gu. I accidentally fell asleep just now.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”Gu Xin smiled faintly.
The two of them looked at each other and only said what they should do.
Gu Xin did not say much and said to manager Wu, “Send out a notice immediately and have these people meet in the big conference room of the marketing department in half an hour.”
As she spoke, Gu Xin gave manager Wu a list of names.
Manager Wu quickly took it. “Yes.”
“Go prepare the conference room,”Gu Xin said to the secretary.
“Yes, manager Wu.”
“It’s been hard on all of you.”Gu Xin felt really apologetic.
“Manager Gu, don’t say that. Something has happened to the company and we should all be together through thick and thin. There’s no such thing as hard work. As long as we can help you get through this difficult time, it’s really not a big deal to be a little tired,”the secretary said sincerely.
“Thank you,”Gu Xin said sincerely.
The secretary smiled. “When the time comes, manager Gu, just remember to compensate us with your salary.”
Gu Xin nodded. “Of course.”
The three of them left the small meeting room.
Gu Xin returned to her office to rest for a while and quietly sorted out what she wanted to say later.
Not long after, the secretary knocked on the door and entered.
There was an extra breakfast in her hand. “Have something to eat.”
“Thank you.”
“No need. I also brought one for supervisor Wu just now. I have one for myself. No matter what, the body is the capital of the Revolution.”The Secretary said with a smile.
“Okay.”
The Secretary left.
Gu Xin looked at the steaming porridge in front of her.
So in this world, there were actually many people who treated each other sincerely.
Although she had no appetite, she still ate all the porridge in front of her.
Health was the most important thing.
Wang Wei had said that money was just a worldly possession. Safety was the most important thing.
11 am.
Gu Xin called for an emergency meeting.
There were about 20 employees who received the notice.
Gu Xin sat in the middle and looked at her colleagues who were sitting around her in a daze.
She took a deep breath silently. She knew that it was easy for her to get stage fright at an important occasion.
She gritted her teeth and said, “Today’s emergency meeting is mainly to re-manage the operation of the television station. “I believe that everyone is aware of the current situation of the television station. I Won’t hide it from everyone. The current situation is that 80% of the middle-level cadres in the television station have left. Many projects in the television station are currently at a standstill. The situation is very serious.”
“Is it because of director Zhai?”A colleague could not help but ask.
“Yes,”Gu Xin did not hide anything. “His departure has taken away most of the important positions and talents at the television station.”
“Can’t we make him come back again?”
“No,”Gu Xin said word by word, “I’ve gathered everyone for a meeting today. This is what we need to do when the GU Corporation is facing the most serious situation right now. There is no such thing as luck. Zhai Yi will not come back either. We can only rely on ourselves.”
The people below were in an uproar.
The important middle management of the company, including the top management, had all left. Basically, the entire television station had become an empty shell of talent. How could they rely on themselves to return.
“We are not much worse than others. Right now, we are an opportunity and a challenge. I hope that you will not back down. Of course, I will not give you the chance to back down either. You are the people I have chosen. You can not be changed! I’ve chosen you because I think you can,”gu xin enunciated each word clearly.
The entire meeting room was filled with questions, and she had no choice but to comfort them.
Even she herself felt that it was a little fake.
Everyone looked at her.
“Now, I’ll first tell everyone about the things that we need to deal with the most urgently. After that, I’ll make a clear division of responsibilities,”Gu Xin said loudly according to her own rhythm, “The advantage we have now is that our market share has always been very high. Currently, some of our programs can still last for at least half a month, especially the new reality shows. Currently, there are only three episodes, and we still have nearly two months of broadcast time. We can completely support our television station’s viewership ratings during the golden season. This time will allow us to fully think about and prepare for our upcoming programs.”
Everyone looked at Gu Xin seriously and listened to her words.
“The crisis we are facing is that many of our projects are being handled by people who have already left. Now, we need you to take over. This is the first thing. The second thing is that there are currently many programs that are about to expire. However, we are in a hurry and have no time to prepare new programs. We need to consider whether we should rebroadcast some of the authorized programs between US or immediately rope in a third party to negotiate and introduce programs that aren’t too hot but can be broadcast for a short period of time. All of this requires detailed big data analysis. “Thirdly, the television station has signed a lot of commercial breaks. There are also some long-term sponsors. Soon, these people will be restless. I’ve looked at our contracts. Some of them are quite extreme. For example, they involve the viewership share. In other words, if the viewership share is less than what it is, the corresponding advertising fees will be halved or even terminated. If we lose the television station’s advertising fees, all of our funds will be cut off. After that, all of our operations will be really difficult. Therefore, we need someone to follow up and do public relations to stabilize the mood of the suppliers.”
Gu Xin looked at the people below as she took notes.
If she didn’t take notes, she wouldn’t be able to say something so organized.
She said, “Now, I’ll start to divide the work.”
Everyone was very quiet.
“The first task will be to continue working on the project we’re preparing now. The person in charge of the project will be the planning department’s bylaws. You will be responsible for coordinating the entire project and making the analysis report. There will be trade-offs. The current situation doesn’t need to start working on all of them. The most difficult task will be solved step by step. You need to give me a detailed list of your considerations by tomorrow and explain the reason for your consideration.”
“Yes.”Zhang Cheng nodded.
Although she was feeling a little pressured, she somehow felt very motivated at this moment.
“The five colleagues on your right are all your team leaders. I hope you can do their assigned work well.”
“Yes.”
Gu Xin turned to look at another colleague, “Wei Xiao. You are in charge of the second task, which is the preparation for our program that is about to expire. At the moment, what you need to do urgently is to plan out the expiration dates of all the programs and then find a program that you can contact. You need to communicate with the bylaws to see if you can contact them on your schedule. When you can’t contact them, you need to find a way to make our programs coherent and not be too perfunctory. I hope you can give me a detailed arrangement tomorrow.”
“Okay.”Wei Xiao nodded. “I’ll do my best, manager Gu.”
“The three colleagues on your right are all your team leaders.”
“Thank you, manager Gu.”
“The last one is the public relations arrangement,”Gu Xin said. “Because it involves the most important part of our current operations, I’ll be personally in charge. Qiao Hong, help me.”
“Yes, manager Gu.”
“Of course, the remaining colleagues on your right are all members of our special team. I will take the overall lead, but you will be in charge of the specific distribution and implementation. After the meeting ends, we will immediately convene a meeting to make a detailed division of our work.”
“Yes.”Qiao Hong nodded.
“Finally.”Gu Xin looked at them. “Supervisor Wu.”
“Manager Gu,”supervisor Wu replied.
“From today onwards, you will keep a detailed record of every colleague’s overtime work, down to the hour. “According to the principle of three times their salary, they will be counted into the salary scale at the end of the month. At the same time, according to the position of each person at the same time, according to the principle of using the lower position but using the higher position, they will be compensated for their position,”Gu Xin said word by word.
“Yes.”Supervisor Wu nodded.
“Whether or not gu enterprise can survive the crisis will really depend on all of you. I Won’t say too many sentimental words. I will only say that if gu enterprise survives this time, all of you will be heroes. GU enterprise will not mistreat you!”
Everyone in the meeting room was extremely determined.
Gu Xin thanked them once again and announced the end of the meeting.
After the meeting, the project members of the public relations department were called to a meeting. They made a division of labor for all the important contracts they currently had. Everyone followed the different sponsors of the advertisements and could not make any mistakes.
It lasted until 2 pm.
The project team meeting ended.
Everyone ordered takeout for dinner.
Gu Xin also ate some.
Then, she started to bury herself in her work.
For the first time, she felt that she really did not have enough time. She really did not have enough time.
This was especially so when she received a call from Zhai Yi at 6 pm.
“Gu Xin.”The voice on the other end was low and a little hoarse.
“What do you want to say?”
“The deadline is tomorrow. If you don’t express your stance tomorrow, I will take a step forward.”
Gu Xin gritted her teeth.
In a flash, two days had passed.
She rubbed her head and turned her office chair. She looked out of the French window and saw that the lights were on.
“I heard that your father was hospitalized. The board of directors had high blood pressure that day.”
“You are well-informed.”
“I also know that you have been hosting the television station for the past few days,”Zhai Yi said word by word, “But, Gu Xin, it’s all in vain. If you had the ability to act so suddenly before I came to the GU group, perhaps nothing would have happened. I wouldn’t have been able to do it. Unfortunately, it’s really too late for you now. Everything in the GU group is in my hands. With a simple move of mine, i can make the Gu family’s assets fluctuate by a few hundred million yuan.”
“As for how many billions your family has, I can do whatever I Want!”
“That’s enough, Zhai Yi. You can do whatever you want. I don’t have the ability to save my family’s business. That’s my ability. As for whether I want to do it or not, that’s my attitude. I’m not threatened by you!”
“Why do you have to be so hard on yourself!”Zhai Yi seemed to be a little distressed. “I heard that you’ve been working all night since yesterday afternoon.”
“I don’t need your kindness.”
“If you can let go of your prejudice and get back together with me, wouldn’t everything I Own Be Yours?”
“If you don’t think so, why did you force me to think so?”Gu Xin asked him sarcastically, “When we were married, why did you want everything in the Gu family to be in your hands? Why didn’t you say that everything I own is yours? !”
“I need that honor.”
“It just so happens that I need it now,”Gu Xin said and was about to hang up the phone.
“Gu Xin,”Zhai Yi called out to her, “You really can’t beat me. All the overtime you’ve arranged for me is really a waste of time. If you have the time, why don’t you have a good talk with me about how to distribute the benefits and how to transfer the shares. I have feelings for you. I Won’t be too ruthless…”
“Clang!”
Gu Xin hung up the phone.
Such kindness would only make her want to kill Zhai Yi.
She did not need his pity.
Even if she had nothing, he did not care for his little bit of charity.
On the other end of the phone, Zhai Yi looked at the words “Call ended.”The coldness in his eyes and the smile on his face became even colder.
He gripped his phone tightly.
Even so, would gu Xin not compromise a single step? !
Even so, wouldn’t Gu Xin think of asking him for a favor? !
He really did not believe it.
He did not believe that Gu Xin would be able to hold on for long.
He picked up the phone again and dialed the number. In a sinister voice, he said fiercely, “Carry out the plan for tomorrow.”
“Yes.”
Zhai Yi hung up the phone with a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
Gu Xin, it’s not that I’m too cruel.
It’s that you don’t know how to cherish it!
Gu Xin, who was in Gu Enterprise’s office, was also furious because of Zhai Yi’s phone call!
She really did not know how Zhai Yi could say these things so matter-of-factly!
Whether he was a bad person or not, he would always feel that everything he did was right!
Whether or not she was a bad person, she would always feel that she was a good person just because she had done a little bit of something? !
It was so laughable.
To make her give up and make him compromise with her, she could forget about it even in her dreams!
She gritted her teeth.
Her phone suddenly rang again.
She took a look at the incoming call and took a deep breath. After adjusting her emotions, she said, “Dad.”
“Little Xin, are you still at the Office?”
“Yes, I’m working overtime.”
“I’ve been discharged from the hospital.”
“Then you should stay at home and rest more.”
“Little Xin, don’t work too hard. Go home early. Dad will come to work tomorrow. If there’s anything, we can handle it together. I heard from your little mother that you didn’t come home last night. I told my secretary that you had to work overtime overnight.”
“Daddy, don’t worry about me. I’m still young and my body is fine,”Gu Xin said. “You’re the one who needs to take good care of your body.”
“No matter how young you are, you can’t help it.”Gu zhengying sounded a little reproachful. “Don’t be too stubborn. Listen to Daddy and go home early. We’ll wait for you to come home for dinner.”
Gu Xin looked at the sky and thought that she had already arranged everything. There was no rush for her to work overtime now. She nodded. “Okay, then I’ll get off work right away.”
“Okay, I’ll get the kitchen to make your favorite, the fried duck with Ginger.”
“Thank you, Dad.”
Gu Xin hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and opened the office door.
At the door, the secretary was still working overtime. When she saw Gu Xin come out, she quickly got up and asked, “Manager Gu, what’s the matter?”
“Nothing much. I’ll get off work first. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Take care, manager Gu.”
“You worked an all-nighter yesterday too. If it’s not too urgent, don’t work overtime. Go back and rest more. It’s still a long time. It’s not good for the future if you tire yourself out so quickly.”
“I know. Thank you for your concern, manager Gu.”
Gu Xin didn’t say anything else. She nodded and left work first.
She sat in her private car and watched the sky turn dark.
After working so hard for so long, she was really sleepy.
Especially when she suddenly quieted down, she could fall asleep at any moment.
She took a deep breath and picked up the phone. “Man Man.”
“Gu Xin, what’s Wrong?”From her tone, she sounded very tired.
“Do you believe that I worked overtime last night?”
“Did something happen to the company?”
“It seems that you really don’t pay much attention to business news.”
“Occasionally, but not much. I only know that your family’s stock market has been in turmoil recently,”Lu man said, it was true that she really did not pay much attention to the news recently. Moreover, she always felt that there was someone who cared more about Gu Xin than she did, so she did not need to spend too much energy.
“Oh, I asked Zhai Yi to resign, and then he started to take revenge on me. Now, all the important talents in our family have been poached by Zhai Yi. It’s a mess. “My father was almost angered to death by Zhai Yi. Luckily, he was sent to the hospital in time and was saved.”
“How is Uncle Gu Now?”
“My little mother is accompanying him. It’s Alright,”Gu Xin said, “Man Man, do you know that I think that it’s the wisest choice for me to ask my father to remarry? At least for this crucial matter, my little mother can still comfort my father when my condition isn’t good.”
“I have to say that you’ve made an important decision!”Lu man said sincerely.
In her previous life, if uncle Gu hadn’t committed suicide, Gu Xin wouldn’t have chosen this path.
In this life, no matter what, Uncle Gu had one more hope, so he shouldn’t be as unaffected as he was in her previous life. Moreover, it was just as Gu Xin had said, with someone accompanying her and Gu Xin in a bad state.., at least, there was someone to keep an eye on uncle Gu.
It was indeed a good thing.
“Man Man, do you think that if I work hard, I Can Really Save Our Gu Enterprise?”Gu Xin did not have much confidence in herself.
Right now, she was only determined to do what she thought she could do!
“I don’t know,”Lu man said bluntly. “But I think I can give you a reminder. You might be able to look for Zhai An.”
Zhai an.
Gu Xin bit her lip.
She did not even dare to think of this name now!
