Inside the meeting room, many people’s gazes had already turned towards Sun Mingjun. Some reveled in schadenfreude, while others worried about their own future.
Wondering if they might become the next Sun Mingjun, it was clear that this new boss was the kind of person who possessed thunderous methods and cared little for trifles.
This could be seen from his exceptional promotion of Ma Wenwen!
He simply didn’t care about what others outside thought, if he wanted to promote someone, he would do so without considering what others might think.
It was because of such a character that everyone present could potentially become the next target.
Apart from Sun Mingjun, Zhao Jincheng, who had just vacated his seat, also twitched his mouth violently, feeling as though he had given up not just a seat but also his position as vice president.
Design was one of the business areas he oversaw, but the good news was that it wasn’t his only area of responsibility.
Therefore, his position did not entirely overlap with that of Ma Wenwen, there was still some wiggle room for maneuvering, which might allow him to take on other responsibilities later.
Thus, after a brief moment of stun, Zhao Jincheng took the lead in applauding.
The person at the center of it all, Ma Wenwen, was somewhat bewildered. After finding out that Yang Hao was the company’s new boss, she had thought she might be promoted.
After all, she was considered one of ‘ours’!
But she had never imagined she would be promoted to vice president directly!
This could be described as a meteoric rise.
Especially since she had taken over Sun Mingjun’s position directly, which gave her a sense of exhilarating vengeance!
“Thank you, Mr. Yang!”
“I will work hard in my duty and contribute to the company’s development!”
Once the applause in the meeting room had settled, Ma Wenwen stood up to make her statement.
Yang Hao smiled and nodded. In fact, from his point of view, appointing Ma Wenwen as vice president was primarily to serve a “supervisory” function.
His high-profile promotion of Ma Wenwen meant that everyone in the company would know she was his person, or rather, his proxy within the company.
In other words, Ma Wenwen was essentially him in that role, which would allow Yang Hao to be a hands-off manager with ease.
Of course, Yang’s casual approach was also due to the fact that Yiren Clothing’s market value wasn’t very high.
Just a few billion, nothing for Yang Hao to be concerned about!
Thus, the company wasn’t significant to Yang Hao. It was best if it was profitable, but it didn’t matter if it wasn’t.
It was precisely because he didn’t value it highly that he comfortably supported Ma Wenwen as his proxy at Yiren Clothing.
Yang Hao didn’t have a specific purpose for his visit today. He simply wanted to check out his new acquisition and provide support to Ma Wenwen.
Since Yang Hao had been beside Ma Wenwen when Sun Mingjun called the day before, he had heard the entire conversation clearly.
Hence, Yang Hao directly replaced Sun Mingjun’s position with Ma Wenwen.
It was a way to make this guy, who liked to play by underhanded rules, unemployed on the spot!
Of course, Yang Hao hadn’t announced Sun Mingjun’s new assignment yet, but it was unlikely for such a person to have a clean slate. That called for the accounting audit team Yang had brought in to take the field.
Once they found leverage on Sun Mingjun, they could make him resign voluntarily, saving a sum in compensation!
This was routine operation for some companies.
The meeting ended.
Yang Hao asked President Yao Xintong and Ma Wenwen to stay behind.
“President Yao, I think Wenwen has a lot of potential. Please take good care of her in the future and mentor her,” Yang said.
“Don’t worry, Wenwen won’t threaten your position. Your development directions are different. Wenwen will focus on design, as she is not particularly interested in administrative management and such work.”
“So, it’s still you, President Yao, who needs to oversee the overall operations!”
“As for me, I probably won’t come to the company often. Your authority will only be greater than before!”
Yang Hao disliked beating around the bush and talked straight to the point, sharing his thoughts with Yao Xintong.
He had already used his “Fiery Eyes” skill on President Yao just now.
System rated Yao Xintong as “Double A”!
Entrusting the company to her, Yang Hao felt very secure, and he even planned to let Yao Xintong manage a company with a higher market value if the opportunity arose.
After all, it’s not easy to find “Double A” talent.
It’s a pity that Yao Xintong is a bit old, already 35 years old this year, otherwise she could have been groomed for the NPC (National People’s Congress)!
After hearing what Yang Hao said, Yao Xintong didn’t immediately respond; she pondered for a moment before asking, “Does Mr. Yang really not plan to replace me?”
“I am a relative of President Jiang.”
The “President Jiang” Yao Xintong referred to was the former owner of Yiren Clothing.
She was able to become the General Manager of Yiren Clothing not only because of her outstanding ability but also because the previous owner, President Jiang, was her uncle.
That’s why she was able to become the General Manager of Yiren Clothing at such a young age.
“President Jiang sold the company to me, there’s nothing to fuss about!”
“Besides, what I value is ability, and I think you can manage the company well!”
“Just don’t let me down!”
Yang Hao shrugged indifferently, true to his word that what he cared about was Yao Xintong’s ability and not her kinship with the former owner.
“Alright!”
Seeing that Yang Hao’s words didn’t seem to be mere lip service, Yao Xintong nodded seriously, “Since Mr. Yang trusts me, I will definitely do my best to run the company well!”
“Then, work well with Wenwen and improve together!”
Yao Xintong, truly deserving of her position as the young General Manager of Yiren Clothing, knew just what to say. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire
Yang Hao meant for her to mentor Ma Wenwen, but she spoke of improving together, which was very modest.
“Please look after me, President Yao!”
Ma Wenwen quickly made a polite declaration.
“I said, let’s improve together!”
Yao Xintong smiled, in fact, she had a good impression of Ma Wenwen before this and wasn’t averse to working with her as part of the team.
While Yang Hao was talking with the two women, the news that Ma Wenwen had been exceptionally promoted to Vice President of the Group had already spread within the company.
The other departments were okay, some people didn’t even know who Ma Wenwen was and could only gossip quietly about her relationship with the new owner.
But the design department completely exploded!
“Wenwen has been promoted to Group Vice President?”
“Damn! Is that true? How many levels did she leap over?!”
“Ma Wenwen became the Group Vice President and still serves as the General Manager of the design department? If that’s the case, what about Sun Mingjun?”
“He must have been transferred, right? Or maybe he was simply fired.”
The employees of the design department whispered among themselves.
Out of everyone, Wang Xiaoyun was the most excited and thrilled—if this news was true, wouldn’t she also be taking off?
Given her relationship with Ma Wenwen, the latter becoming Group Vice President would surely give her friend a boost!
Moreover, just before Ma Wenwen left for the meeting room, Wang Xiaoyun had said that if she became the boss’s wife, she would promote and give Ma Wenwen a raise!
She wasn’t just making empty promises; she meant those words from the bottom of her heart.
Now the situation had reversed, and with Ma Wenwen’s rapid ascent, she probably wouldn’t forget her “poor relative.”
While everyone was gossiping, the President’s Office and the HR Department jointly issued an email, briefly stating two matters.
The first, Ma Wenwen assumes the position of General Manager of the design department and Vice President of the Group.
The second, Sun Mingjun was transferred from his current position to become the General Manager of the Corporate Culture Department.
Just from the name, it’s clear that the department Sun Mingjun went to is very leisurely, it can even be said to be the company’s “cold palace”!
