Chapter 74 - Layoff (2)
Chapter 74: Layoff (2)
Lu Manman pursed her lips and smiled. “Director Yue, my considerations might not be mature, and I might not be familiar with the workplace, but there is something I know. Whether it is working in the political arena or making friends in the simplest manner, I would need to have integrity. Ability is one thing, but honesty is what determines the development of the team.”
She paused for a moment and then looked at him firmly. “Director Yue has been working at Lu Firm for over ten years. I believe you understand what I mean.”
For Yue Nan to have been promoted to the general manager position, he must have been a talent. He understood what Lu Manman meant the moment he thought about it.
Although the Lu Firm now listed Lu Zishan as the legal representative, the decision-making power of the Lu Firm was still in the hands of the board of directors. There were more than twenty board members, and only five board members had the most shares. Lu Zishan held fifty-one percent of the Lu Firm’s shares, while the other four held thirty percent in total. Another nineteen percent of the shares were distributed to the other board members. Normally, only the board members would participate in major decisions, such as projects that cost more than a hundred million yuan. The other decisions were mostly handled by the other five people.
In theory, Lu Zishan should have the most authority, but because of the board of directors’ decision-making system implemented by the company, Lu Zishan had no say in the matter.
Lu Manman’s intentions were too obvious. The board of directors had their own subordinates in different areas. Lu Manman was going to hit the nail on the head now and not give anyone a chance to react. She was going to cut the Gordian knot before anyone could react!
If she was late, she might miss the golden opportunity.
Lu Manman was indeed as smart as the rumors made her out to be. She was still so young, and yet, she was so decisive and domineering!
After thinking it through, Yue Nan nodded. “Since Director Lu has decided, our General Department and Human Resources will do our best to support and clean up the mess.”
“Thank you for your support, Director Yue.” Lu Manman was being polite, and there was a meaningful smile on her face. “Director Yue, you’re a smart man. I believe you know better than I do what you do and where you stand.”
“I will do my best to repay the company for its help,” Yue Nan hurriedly said.
Lu Manman nodded and smiled. “Zhang Cui, reveal my plan.”
“Yes,” Zhang Cui answered respectfully.
The meeting lasted the whole morning.
Lu Manman and Yue Nan discussed the allocation of manpower and related layoffs. Yue Nan had been in the company for a while, and it had been difficult for him to climb to the position of general manager. He had his own way of survival and was considered a talent. This person had been able to develop this way because he did not favor anyone. Hence, the first person Lu Manman wanted to rope in and make use of in the company was him.
Yue Nan could be fair and discerning in revealing who was whose subordinate!
This saved Lu Manman a lot of time to investigate on her own. Time was precious to her.
The meeting lasted until two in the afternoon.
When the results were out, the Human Resources Department issued an urgent internal document for Yue Nan and Lu Manman to sign and submit.
At three, the Marketing Department sent out the manpower transfer document.
When they came out, there was an uproar.
Nobody expected that Lu Manman’s second day at work would cause such a drastic change in the Marketing Department’s Group A. There were a total of sixty-eight people, eight of whom had been laid off, and twelve of whom had been transferred!
There had never been such a drastic change in events before. Everyone was shocked and in disbelief.
