Chapter 269 Chen Yuan's veto, Xiao Wan offers Jiang Yao a clever plan (6k)

Jiang Yao sent her sister to the airport. They parked the car as if they were familiar with the place, and went into the lobby to get their boarding passes and check in their luggage. They were busy for about half an hour. By the time Jiang Yao entered the security gate, the two sisters had to separate.

Standing in front of the rows of glass doors that separate passengers.

Even though she had said it several times on the way, Jiang Ning couldn't help but remind her: "Remember to eat well. When I'm not at home, no one will care if you eat snacks. Eating too much of those things is very unhealthy for your body."

"I know, I know."

"If you really don't want to order takeout at home by yourself, you can go find Chen Zai. I won't say anything to you. It's a bit of a ritual for two people. I know you. Sometimes you just don't bother to eat properly because it's too troublesome."

"I would like to go find the young master," Jiang Yao's eyes lit up when she heard her sister say that, but then dimmed, "But he always finds me annoying. If I go to school three times a day to stick to him, he'll blame me again..."

"No," Jiang Ning shook her head, and stroked her sister's cheek with her green jade fingers. "He never thought you were annoying, but he felt embarrassed to express those things to you, so he changed the way."

"Is it true?" Jiang Yao was very surprised. She frowned and thought for a while before she said softly, "Sister, what's wrong with you today? You actually comforted me because of the young master. Did you reach some secret agreement and start to counsel me psychologically? Or is it that you are about to leave, so your words are kind... It feels weird."

Her eyebrows were raised in surprise and the corners of her lips curved down in a look of horror.

Jiang Yao had her long braided pigtail tied very low, flowing down from her right shoulder, and she was wearing a striped slim-fitting long skirt.

At first glance, she looks like a mature woman.

"Get lost, Yaoyao, what are you talking about?" Jiang Ning tapped her forehead with her fingertips. "I'm just afraid that you'll get discouraged before the fight even begins, and then refuse to admit that I beat you."

"Hey, this is a normal sister. You should go board the plane. I have to go pick up Xiao Wan too. She should have finished her overtime work by now."

"Yeah, I'll message you after the plane lands."

The two sisters parted at the security checkpoint. Under the towering steel dome, they waved to each other in the spacious hall. Jiang Ning quickened her pace and soon disappeared around the corner of the terminal. Looking back, there were only countless unfamiliar passengers.

Jiang Yao returned the same way, got into the car outside, and drove away from the airport.

……

Twenty kilometers away, it is on Wenhua Road, next to Lanjing Shimao.

In the top floor office of Bauhinia Company, Chen Yuan sat in a comfortable swivel chair sipping coffee. With deep eyes, he observed with great interest the small square boxes speeding on the road.

Pei Youwen has been chattering non-stop for nearly an hour. It can be seen that Xiao Pei is already dry-mouthed, but he has not given up persuading him.

Pei Youwen picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and continued, "Why do we have to use "Chairman" to define your position? This is not just a title, but a declaration to everyone that you are the owner of the most central position of power. Have you heard what Sir Cadbury said? If a company can only have one person sitting in a swivel chair, this person is the person in charge, the soul of the entire company."

"You can dismiss anyone at will, you can even dismiss me, just like at the board meeting just now, there are worms in their finance department, and they fired a few to set an example. When they walked out of the company with their things, everyone could see it, why not do it?"

"You have to learn to exercise your rights. Although you don't need to speak at the meeting, you are at the center of the scale and are the referee of the entire company. My rights also come from you. If I had spoken just now, I would have crossed the line."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became.

Chen Yuan turned his head and raised his eyelids: "Didn't I give you the authorization?"

"But the directors are all watching. Some of the old guys are from our headquarters, and they don't like me. They will think that I am putting you on a leash to show off in front of others. I'm not afraid of what others say, but it's best not to give them any handle, isn't it?" Pei Youwen lowered his head and wiped his glasses vigorously. He felt that Chen Yuan was good in every way, except that he was not ruthless enough.

If a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm.

The meeting held at Bauhinia Company today is very important because there were problems with the finances, which caused several projects to be suspended and the company had to conduct an internal review, so they hurriedly called in the chairman, Chen Yuan, to attend the meeting.

Pei Youwen also introduced the initial pros and cons, and the board of directors just needed to cut the Gordian knot.

No matter whose fault it is, it has already happened and what we need to do is not to make the same mistake again.

As a result, after he finished the arrangements, the company's financial director Monana actually took advantage of the opportunity and slipped into the chairman's office to complain. She appealed to Chen Yuan's emotions and reason, and in the end the meeting was not held.

Pei Youwen was so anxious that he was sweating. He begged Chen Yuan again to hold a meeting. The second time, he directly took out the document and asked him to sign it. Monana was furious and went to find Xiao Pei. The two had a big fight that half of the company heard.

"So our goal was achieved. My original intention was not to wrongly accuse our employees."

"Who cares? We spend so much money on wages every day. We are not a pig farm. If they make a mistake, the entire department will be held responsible."

"Okay, that makes sense."

"I don't care," Pei Youwen waved his hand and lay down on the sofa. "Anyway, I'll take this opportunity today to quickly resolve the secretary issue. I can't do two positions at the same time. If I switch from one hand to the other, I'll be reported by the board of directors. If I'm reported in the future, I won't be able to clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River."

After spending some time together, Chen Yuan and Pei Youwen had a pretty good relationship as both teacher and friend, so he dared to give Chen Yuan advice so boldly.

The two made it clear from the beginning that public is public and private is private.

When discussing official matters, try not to bring in personal emotions, and make reasonable decision-making the first priority.

From the holiday to now, Chen Yuan has made rapid progress and has continuously deepened his understanding of commercial investment companies. As the chairman, he strives to learn how to think about problems, with the first task being to grasp the development trend and master the law of the trend.

The second task is to exercise logical analysis skills and understand knowledge in subjects such as economics, law, and sociology.

In the future, we will have to clarify the business distribution of the entire company, think about future transformation, make decisions, promote or dismiss certain people, and of course, bear the burden of these decisions.

If he, as the chairman, cannot take responsibility, then there is no one in the company who can take responsibility.

Therefore, advanced ideas, attitudes, management, business logic, system improvement, corporate culture, and the personal ideals that entrepreneurs should pursue are all what Pei Youwen is currently teaching.

The office was quiet for a while.

Pei Youwen lay there with his eyes closed, as if playing a trick. After a moment, he opened his eyes and turned to look at Chen Yuan: "Don't you have anything to say?"

"I don't agree. It seems that we are working well together at the moment." Chen Yuan said coldly.

"But this is not a long-term solution," Pei Youwen spread his hands, "Take today's incident as an example. Monana wants to come to see you. If she has a secretary for the chairman, she will have to make an appointment with the secretary first, and then convey it to you, and it is up to you to decide whether to meet. Many times, leaders need this, and each department has its own difficulties. Of course, I know that she has talents she is used to, and she is unwilling to throw away any of them, but the interests of the company are the most important. You don't need to favor my decision, and you don't need to favor her, because the result is discussed by the board of directors and implemented through you. So what is the situation now? Monana feels that I am sanctioning her department through you. Then the balance is broken."

Pei Youwen continued, "Once or twice is fine. She doesn't dare to say anything. If this continues, the company's system will collapse. If I take over the duties of your secretary, wouldn't that mean I'm playing both sides in the eyes of others? If Mona asked me to make an appointment, I would definitely say no, so she came to the office and cried, made a scene, and threatened to hang herself."

"That's quite right," Chen Yuan swung his swivel chair and picked up a document. "Then, dear CEO, can you explain to me why the list of secretaries is full of tall, long-legged beauties? And their height, proportions, and measurements?"

"Because the chairman's secretary must have a good image, so that he can show his appearance to others and his inner self to you."

"I do not watch."

"It's useless if you don't read it. The secretary of the board represents the image of the entire company. Image is very useful and can bring a lot of invisible benefits to the company."

"If the proposal is not passed, I will veto it." Chen Yuan was very annoyed.

This is a talent selection, not a concubine selection. How can you screen a bunch of photos? Is this If You Are the One? How about selecting the female guest of your choice?
Pei Youwen has strong professional qualities, but Chen Yuan feels that his ideas conflict with his own. In Pei's eyes, everything is a usable resource.

"Then I'll apply for a meeting. At least we need to sort out the decision just made. Otherwise, if someone reports this to the headquarters, I won't be able to write a report on the suspension of this project."

"Open, give notice."

"I won't go down, you come." Pei Youwen turned his head and pointed at the phone on his desk.

Although Chen Yuan was speechless, he still held a third meeting as he requested.

At this time, it was already 9:10 in the evening.

……

In the bright conference room, the solid wooden table is filled with all kinds of tea cups, and outside the window the night is colorful and the lights are just coming on.

All the senior executives of Bauhinia Company were present, and Chen Yuan, sitting in the first seat, rested his chin on his hand and listened to Pei Youwen's speech.

People really need exercise.

Before, Chen Yuan would be nervous during meetings, but now he looks calm. He gradually discovered that people need different masks in different identities, because everyone will look at his face at the end after they finish speaking.

"Director Mo accused me of favoritism and corruption during the meeting an hour ago. I don't admit it because the resolution was made by everyone. In order to prevent this from happening again in the future, I propose to apply for two vacant positions of chairman's secretary, one in charge of the board of directors and the other in charge of management." Pei Youwen finished speaking, glanced at Chen Yuan, and then sat down.

Everyone looked at each other.

Monana, the financial director of Bauhinia Company, rolled her eyes at Pei Youwen and cursed him in her heart.

Her education and ability are not inferior to the other party, and her position is the lifeblood of the company. It is no exaggeration to say that she holds great power. Normally, everyone who sees her must give her some face, right?

Pei Youwen openly targeted her department, this was a provocation!

She remembered this grudge.

"I agree with Pei's proposal."

"I agree too."

"It is imperative to select a secretary to the board. Pei Zhixing has multiple duties and is already overwhelmed. It will be inconvenient for us to ask him to handle important matters. I agree."

Everyone expressed their opinions.

"Of course you can select talents. At first glance, Executive Pei is indeed selfless, but who knows what kind of foundation the people he selects have? It's clear that others can see through your performance. I think you should just reduce the salary for the company and let Executive Pei continue to bully others." A sarcastic smile appeared on Monana's lips.

That's a very bold thing to say.

What she meant was that Pei Youwen would have someone close to Chen Yuan, but in reality he still held the real power, it was just a formality.

When these words were spoken, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. This was not a small accusation.

Or maybe it was because Mo Nana had a hot temper and was proud of herself. Although she didn't dare to show off in front of Chen Yuan, she was not afraid of anyone in terms of her position in the company. "What do you mean? Director Mo, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want!" Pei Youwen slammed the table.

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm just telling the truth."

"Bullshit, I would never do such a thing. I guarantee that everything I said was for the benefit of the company. Do you think I am trying to gain benefits?" Pei Youwen cursed with a dark face.

"Chairman... look at him~" Monana turned around and cried to Chen Yuan. She was also close to him. "If you weren't here, he would beat me up. I'm scared."

The meeting room was a mess.

Some people quarrel, some people cry, and some people have fun.

The old man on the board looked grim.

In fact, most of the senior executives of Bauhinia Company are quite young, so the atmosphere during meetings is relatively "lively".

Chen Yuan turned his eyes away from Mona's aggrieved face. He didn't have the time to play a trick on her. He said calmly, "Then let's raise our hands to vote. I'll see the number of votes."

"can!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Youwen raised his hand, and the vast majority of the rest also supported this resolution.

At a glance, there were large pieces of hands raised.

"Okay, you can put your hands down," Chen Yuan stood up, "I veto this resolution, let's adjourn the meeting."

Monana was a little shocked, and the others looked at him in surprise.

"It's okay, we'll continue tomorrow." Pei Youwen had expected this and spread his hands indifferently.

"Let's continue tomorrow."

The two looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. Then Chen Yuan walked out the door alone and returned to the office to rest.

The other managers were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

They all knew that Pei Youwen was the chairman's confidant, but what was the matter with the two people's disagreement? The proposal was rejected so neatly.

A group of people walked out of the meeting room one after another, and Pei Youwen was no exception. He ignored the questions of other colleagues, and walked in the corridor in his leather shoes, loosening his tight tie as he walked.

Behind him, there were extremely frequent footsteps.

"Hey," Monana walked quickly to his side, moved half a body forward, and followed his pace, "What are you doing?"

"What's going on?"

"Why did the chairman reject your resolution? Didn't you guys agree on this?"

"Director Mo, I think you misunderstood," Pei Youwen said calmly, "The chairman has the right to negate anyone's decision, and mine is no exception. Don't think that because the headquarters lets me stay with him, I have more say. Subordinates are always subordinates."

"But you share the same will on many things, right?"

"So? If we agree, I have the final say. If we disagree, what does my say count for?" Pei Youwen looked straight into her eyes. "It's nothing."

"Is this true?" Monana said with a look of doubt. "Forget it, I'll go find the chairman."

She stopped and turned to walk towards the elevator. Pei Youwen was startled and turned around to shout at her, "What are you doing? Are you going to tell me about something bad again?"

"You control me? You let so many people leave my department, I have to apply for a new batch of people! And the Finance Department needs the chairman's document before it can review external recruitment. What do you think I should do there?"

"then you go."

"Get out of here! Don't let me see you." Monana wanted to kick him so much that she took a few steps forward in her high heels to chase him.

Pei Youwen snorted coldly and said "Who wants to see you" while his steps became faster and faster.

……

Unlike Chen Yuan who was troubled by trivial matters in the company, Jiang Yao was full of joy on the way back to Fengting Community. She hummed along with the soothing music in the car, while Xiao Wan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at her with a smile.

Xiao Wan swayed his shoulders slightly as he followed her humming.

"I've almost finished packing. Please give me some reference later. If it looks good, I plan to give Chen Zai a surprise tomorrow. I'll have someone fix the lighting in the morning. He happens to have no classes in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll help you take a look later." Xiao Wan replied.

She lowered her head to adjust her bow tie and lifted her hair. Xiao Wan was actually dressed very beautifully today, wearing a shirt with a short skirt, and her shoulder-length hair was dyed brown. At first glance, she looked a bit like Ai in Conan.

She looks quite young and cut her hair short just for cosplay.

When they met just now, Jiang Yao praised her a lot and said that this outfit was very cute.

Xiao Wan is also a strange person. She is very socially anxious in the company. She wears black-framed glasses, just works at her workstation, rarely communicates with others, and often carries a canvas bag with her things.

At first glance it looks ordinary.

But it’s different after work. She comes alive and wears all kinds of beautiful clothes to attend events or go out to play board games with friends. Even colleagues in the company can’t recognize her when they meet her because the difference is so huge.

"Sometimes I really envy your boyfriend. He has two people for whom he spends so much time and effort preparing surprises... He is so blessed." Xiao Wan sighed.

"No, just put yourself in his shoes. The young master is also very good to me."

"Listen to what you said. That's why I envy your boyfriend. There are so many people in this world who just want to sit back and reap the rewards. But in reality, it's rare to get rewards for your efforts."

"You get what you deserve, otherwise you will feel guilty. This is what my sister taught me. She always yelled at me before for not inviting you to dinner at home. It's the same principle... She is also very good to Chen Yuan."

"Then he really is the male protagonist in a cool novel." Xiao Wan suddenly sighed.

"What does it mean to be the male protagonist in a cool novel?" Jiang Yao turned her head and looked at her curiously, somewhat confused.

"It's just like the novels we read on women's channels that make us feel our breasts are unobstructed. The male protagonists in these cool novels are handsome, popular with beautiful girls, and they're all very rich."

"Oh~" Jiang Yao understood a little, "That doesn't quite fit the first two. I think the conditions of the young master's family should be better than average, but not particularly good."

But Jiang Yao didn't care about this. Regardless of whether Chen Yuan had money or not, she was determined to be with him. If they could have a rich material life, that would be great. If not, she didn't mind at all.

As long as I have enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, have a home to shelter me from the wind and rain, and live an ordinary life, I will be very satisfied.

The good friends were chatting about everything and everything, and while they were chatting, they had already arrived at Fengting Community.

They took the elevator upstairs together. Jiang Yao used facial recognition to open the door of 1302 and entered the renovated e-sports room.

Xiao Wan looked at the facilities in the room in amazement, touching here and there, and exclaimed: "Did you do all this by yourself?"

"I was busy all afternoon and almost died of exhaustion. I ended the live broadcast early and came here at four o'clock."

"Thank you. Are all these boxes filled with computers?"

"Yes, I haven't taken it all apart yet. I'm waiting for you to assemble it."

Jiang Yao took out an eyebrow trimmer from the side and cut some of the tape, then took out the exquisite-looking computer accessories, arranged them one by one, and also took out the computer case and placed it on the table.

One is black, the other is white, just the right size for couples.

"I thought you would buy three models, after all, you are a family of three," Xiao Wan smiled, showing her pearly teeth, "It seems you didn't prepare any for my sister."

"She seldom plays games. Besides, if I prepare it for her, it will delay my relationship with the young master. I won't do that."

As they talked, they began to tear off the protective film on the accessories.

Xiao Wan put the computer case on the ground and squatted down. Her pure black leather shoes reflected the light from the ceiling.

"The three of you seem to be getting along pretty well now. It seems like things have calmed down after the twins were discovered. I rarely see you worrying about this or that lately."

"Yes, now that I've been discovered, I feel calmer. My only worry is that Chen Yuan likes me more than me. Last time, I heard you say to be myself, and the effect turned out to be quite good, so I'm happy."

Jiang Yao raised the corners of her lips and gave Xiao Wan a sweet smile.

"You will be likable as long as you are yourself. It is also very easy to defeat your sister. You just need to--" Xiao Wan stopped talking halfway when she suddenly realized something.

"What do you need?" Jiang Yao asked puzzledly.

"Nothing, I just said it casually."

"If there is a problem, tell the truth."

Jiang Yao grabbed Xiao Wan's hand and squinted at her. It seemed that if she didn't say anything, she would be tortured until she revealed her true thoughts.

Xiao Wan stepped back and tried to break free, but was cornered by Yaoyao. Her chubby cheeks were rubbed and kneaded vigorously.

"Don't force me to say it... I don't want to let Sister Ningning down."

"Oh?" Jiang Yao's eyes brightened when she heard it. "If you have a good plan, please share it with us!"
