CHAPTER 423: CHAPTER 423

Upon hearing this, the HR manager hurriedly advised Jiang Weiwei, "Miss Jiang, this won’t do. These are all veteran employees of the company; if they leave, the newly established project department will have no one capable of handling the responsibilities!"

Jiang Weiwei was relentless, "What do you mean no one is capable? They’ve just been around a bit longer, eaten a bit more rice, that’s all."

Pointing at the employees, Jiang Weiwei said coldly, "You are all fired, did you hear me?"

Shao Qiongzhi didn’t want so many of her old colleagues to lose their livelihoods, so she advised, "My resignation is a personal matter; they are just upset about my departure after many years of working together. There’s no need to fire the whole department’s staff, it will affect the company’s overall operation."

But the more Jiang Weiwei looked at Shao Qiongzhi, the more she felt Shao Qiongzhi was playing mind games with her.

"Don’t think I don’t know, they are just tools you are using to drive me away. Even if such people stay, they won’t work sincerely under me. So, if you want to leave, just leave together."

Jiang Weiwei glanced disdainfully at the group, "Just a bunch of working ants. The company can operate without you!"

Nobody likes to be looked down on and belittled like this.

So the employees whom Jiang Weiwei had insulted angrily took off their work badges.

"Fine, we ants aren’t worthy of working for Miss Jiang, we’ll just leave."

"A naive young girl just out of school, do you think without these working ants you could have your current lifestyle?"

"A person like you managing? Heh, be careful not to run the company into the ground."

Seeing people leaving, the HR manager panicked.

"Miss Jiang, please say something kind. These aren’t just any working ants; she’s our most experienced senior engineer in the project team. Without them, many things really can’t be handled."

But Jiang Weiwei felt these people had just pointed at her nose and cursed, completely disrespecting her.

Speaking softly at this point would absolutely make them laugh at her!

So Jiang Weiwei mustered her courage and even reprimanded the HR manager.

"Isn’t experience accumulated gradually? Just find a few young people in the company, let them stay in this department for a few days, and they will definitely do better than these old folks!"

"If you don’t process their resignations quickly, I’ll fire you too!"

Thus, under Jiang Weiwei’s pressure, the HR manager had no choice but to keep quiet and start processing the resignation procedures.

Shortly after, Shao Qiongzhi and her old colleagues were all ousted from Jiang’s Automobile Group.

Shao Qiongzhi felt guilty: "I’m sorry, I didn’t expect my resignation would involve all of you."

But her old colleague Chen Hui said, "Sister Shao, this isn’t your fault. Actually, Miss Jiang has been unhappy with us since yesterday."

Colleague Wang He agreed, "Yes, since starting yesterday, she’s been asking HR why the department is full of us old hands, prompting HR to bring in some younger people to replace us."

Colleague Wu Lin added, "Actually, she just dislikes that us old folks don’t pander to her. Even if we had stayed, she would find an opportunity to kick us out soon."

Then everyone comforted Shao Qiongzhi, "Sister Shao, don’t blame yourself. Honestly, with the management in the hands of someone like Jiang Weiwei, this company won’t have much of a future anyway. We’re just leaving earlier to find better jobs."

Seeing her old colleagues, Shao Qiongzhi suddenly got a new idea.

"Would you like to continue working with me?" Shao Qiongzhi asked them.

"Of course. Even if we go to a different company, aren’t we just working as ants for someone else?"

"Yes, we’re willing. Wherever we work, we work, right? Following Sister Shao at least gives us some sense of belonging."

Having secured everyone’s agreement, Shao Qiongzhi immediately called HR at Emperor Bow Automobile Group again.

Shao Qiongzhi mentioned that she had a few colleagues who are knowledgeable about the car system project.

She asked HR if there were any vacancies in Emperor Bow’s car system project.

HR immediately responded, "Our latest project is just getting started and we are recruiting. If you can bring your colleagues over, that would be even better. Moreover, our compensation and benefits will definitely be better than at Jiang’s."

Shao Qiongzhi repeatedly thanked them.

Thus, Shao Qiongzhi took the most experienced batch of employees from Jiang’s Automobile and they thrived at Emperor Bow Automobile Group, almost reaching the pinnacle of their careers.

Meanwhile, after Jiang Weiwei had fired a batch of old employees, she managed to gather a group of young sycophants.

These people, who were clueless about business, kept revolving around her.

"Miss Jiang, you are so young and beautiful, and yet so capable, it’s like you have a cheat in life!"

"Miss Jiang, your makeup today is beautiful, and your clothes and jewelry are perfectly matched. You look like a fairy descended to Earth, lighting up our entire department."

Jiang Weiwei loved being absurdly and unrealistically praised, floating on cloud nine.

However, since these sycophants kept revolving around her, the department’s daily performance was severely subpar.

Jiang Weiwei had to secretly alter the performance data to get by in front of Jiang Guosheng.

But within a few days, internal data began to explode.

Jiang Guosheng carefully compared and discovered that the performance data had been manipulated, and became furious at once.

Jiang Guosheng summoned Jiang Weiwei to his office and questioned, "Did you alter the performance data?"

"I just felt that this data was significantly different from before, so I slightly modified it. I didn’t think it was a big issue..."

Initially, Jiang Weiwei didn’t take it seriously, because she wasn’t specifically trained in business management and didn’t understand what these numbers represented.

But her casual attitude only infuriated Jiang Guosheng more.

"Not a big issue? Do you realize this data isn’t just for outsiders to see but for our internal review, to promptly identify and rectify shortcomings?"

"By covering up the problems, it prevents the data from giving timely feedback, stopping us from mitigating the issues on time!"

This was a terrible start for the vehicle system project.

Jiang Weiwei was scolded thoroughly by Jiang Guosheng, not daring to utter a word.

But Jiang Guosheng still said, "I really regret assigning you to this department! Now I see that professional tasks should indeed be handled by professionals!"

Then Jiang Guosheng told Jiang Weiwei, "Go call Shao Qiongzhi in!"

Yes, Jiang Guosheng planned to hand the special management position to Shao Qiongzhi.

With Shao Qiongzhi’s capability, she could definitely resolve the issues reflected in the report within two days.

But Jiang Guosheng never expected Jiang Weiwei to tell him, "Shao Qiongzhi has already resigned!"
