Chapter 563: Domineering Deterrence (3)

Xie Fangtong was caught off guard by Zhao Youlins sudden elevated voice tone. He stammered, I

The moment the audience looked up, they heard a banging sound. Zhao Youlin abruptly stood up from her main seat and slowly approached Xie Fangtong. Regardless of whether you are in the business of property development, food and beverage, so on and so forth, are there any profits gained without depending on the customers? As businesspeople, customers are our G.o.d. The profitability of a business is all dependent on how well you attract and promote to the customers. We have to make the customers willingly pay for our products or services offered. No other reasons could be used as an excuse for your negligence and blatant laziness.

While Zhao Youlin was speaking, she slowly approached Xie Fangtong. By the time she finished speaking, Zhao Youlin was already standing in front of him. She casually stared at Xie Fangtong.

Xie Fangtong was already very nervous. When she saw Zhao Youlin approach him, he grew weak on his knees. The next moment, he sat on his b.u.t.t on the ground, letting out a loud dull thud.

The corners of Zhao Youlins lips curled upward. A mocking smile arched across her face. She flung another stack of blank proposals onto the table.

As you mentioned earlier, we recently opened this project to the public. Although it appears that it would have a promising future, no one could predict the future. What I mean is, how should we improve it now that it is gradually improving? Isnt this something we should be aware of? If we only focus on the current situation rather than thinking about ways to improve it, we will be doomed.

Zhao Youlin drew in a deep breath as she cast a sharp glance across the audience. We are in a fast-paced society. I believe everyone knows that only the strongest would survive while the weakest would perish. As such, I hope all of us could seize the opportunity and do our part for the future of Zhao Enterprise.

As Zhao Youlin was saying this, she s.h.i.+fted her attention to Zhao Youming and cast a profound glance at him. She then moved her gaze to the chief of the planning department, Fang Yu, who sat next to him.

Chief Fang, you are the one who predicted that the future of this project is bleak, right?

Cold sweats broke out on Fang Yus forehead. He said awkwardly, General Manager, I

It seems that the onus is on the planning department to devise a reasonable future development plan for this project. Fang Yus expression turned as white as sheets. The corners of Zhao Youlins lips slightly curved upward. However, I understand how difficult it is for you to plan for a project of this magnitude. Dont worry, take your time. Ill give you a month to set up a profit target for this project over the next year.

Fang Yu felt his eyes fly wide open. His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but under Zhao Youlins intimidating stare, he bit his lips and gave in to her obediently. Noted. I understood.

The other chiefs of departments must also pay attention to always be prepared to discuss with the planning departments and cooperate with them to come up with a series of proposals. We must all work hard together in the coming years. I hope all of you will not disappoint me. Zhao Youlin cast a thought-provoking glance at the audience before she said, Thats all for the meeting today. The meeting is adjourned.

After Zhao Youlin finished speaking, she pa.s.sed the doc.u.ments to Xiao Jingyao, who stood behind her, before she quickly left the meeting room.

The moment Zhao Youlin left, the meeting room exploded into a frenzy. Zhao Youming creased his eyebrows as he recalled the meaning beneath in Zhao Youlins eyes when she stared at him. Meanwhile, the rest gathered together and whispered among themselves regarding what Zhao Youlin had said to them.

No one noticed that someone had sneaked out and followed Zhao Youlins footsteps while the audience was whispering.

General Manager.

Zhao Youlin did not go far when she heard the voice. She turned her head around and was greeted by the sight of a familiar figure.

Chief Fu? Is there anything else?

This person was none other than the chief of the publicity department of Zhao Enterprise, Fu Yong. He was the only one who had taken the initiative to speak up for Zhao Youlin during the decision-making meeting that day.

Ever since then, he caught Zhao Youlins attention, and she had asked Xiao Jingyao to discreetly conduct an investigation on him. She had also gained an understanding from Zhao Shunrong about Fu Yongs character and learned that he was a competent staff. This was especially so that he was a veteran and had stayed for many years in the company. He was honest and it was worthwhile to train him.

Later, she had Xiao Jingyao contact him several times. Fu Yong had basically sided with them.

Fu Yong scanned the surroundings and when he was convinced that no one was around them, he said, I heard someone say that the board of directors has the intention to let Zhao Yifei take over the vacant position of chief of the human resources department when he returns.

The chief of the human resource department of Zhao Enterprise had applied for maternity leave due to pregnancy and was temporarily vacant. Little did they know that the old coots from the board of directors had taken advantage of this opportunity!

Zhao Yifei was to serve as the chief of the human resources department, huh? Zhao Yifei was nothing but a playboy and a womanizer. It was hilarious to learn that he wanted to become the chief of one of the departments in Zhao Enterprise.

Zhao Youlin did not believe that the old coots from the board of directors were unaware of this. It was clear that Zhao Yifei was ineffective, yet they insisted on stuffing him to the level of management. The reason they did so was because her presence and influence in the company was growing stronger. Furthermore, Han Yichens presence, as well as her connections with others, had created a crisis for those old coots.

Danger did not always come from outside. One was surrounded by so many crises even when they were inside their own companies!

The Zhao family and the board of directors have always struck a delicate balance. However, with the presence of Zhao Youlin and Han Yichen, the balance began to s.h.i.+ft gradually.

Humans were selfish in nature. Even though the old coots on the board of directors appeared normal and peaceful on the surface, they had the intention of laying a hand on the Zhao family, taking over their place, power, fortune, and status, and everything else that drew them in.

Those old coots could no longer hold themselves back, huh? An obvious mocking smile arched across Zhao Youlins face. The two people beside her inexplicably felt a chill creeping down their spines.

General Manager, do I need to inform the president about this so that he

Its imperative that you inform my father of this. After all, he would learn about this sooner or later. This incident could not be hidden from him. However, when you inform my father of this, please tell him that theres no need for him to interfere in this matter. Since the board of directors intends to let Zhao Yifei be the chief of the human resources department, just grant them their wish.

General Manager, but Right after Zhao Youlin finished speaking, Fu Yong could not help but raise his voice at her. When he was aware that he had overreacted, he quickly lowered his tone and said anxiously, General Manager, its clear that the board of directors wants to use Zhao Yifei to hold you back. You

Zhao Youlin gave a faint smile. She turned her head around and stared at Fu Yong. Do you think I dont know what the board of directors true intentions are?

Then, why do you still

Before Fu Yong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Youlin.. Do you think Zhao Yifei is able to hold me back?
