Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing

Chapter 76: What Could Happen? (1)

She left the meeting room.

When she passed by the marketing department’s main office, the atmosphere was a little strange.

Lu Manman did not stay for long and returned to her seat.

It was normal for people to be anxious over the past two days! The eight employees who had been laid off probably still had no idea what was going on. When they snapped out of their daze, they went to the HR department to kick up a fuss. Of course, the HR department was trying its best to clean up the mess. Some of the crazier employees, or employees who were under someone’s orders, went to look for Lu Manman to reason with her. They would force their way in but would always leave in a sorry state. No one knew what these people had talked about with Lu Manman, and all they knew was that they had gained a better understanding of her.

The layoff lasted for almost a week. During that time, Lu Manman did not provide any explanations. There were some things that the employees had to settle on their own. This was considered taking on and digesting the pressure that they faced.

Moreover, Lu Manman had never felt that such a huge change would have any deep-rooted impact on the employees. Eighty percent of them would instinctively turn pressure into motivation, and Lu Manman felt that she should just leave the remaining twenty percent behind!

That was why the board of directors was so confident about the personnel transfer, and why they were so brazen in the process of laying off employees.

After a week’s worth of storms, Lu Manman finally calmed the people down.

Time and money were good medicine.

With the passage of time, Lu Manman had reformed the salary structure in the marketing department and adjusted the benefits, bonuses, and subsidies. The overall adjustment had increased by ten percent! This undoubtedly showed the employees hope for future development.

The negative effects of the layoffs were diminishing!

Lu Manman had managed to calm the hearts of the people within a week.

What mattered next was the improvement in the market performance.

Lu Manman sat in her office as she analyzed the indicators that Zhang Cui had sent her. She had to admit that the market indicators had not been ideal recently. Even though the Lu Firm had been leading the telecommunications industry, the continuous innovation and investment by the other operators had put the Lu Firm’s market at risk.

She was deep in thought.

Her private cell phone rang.

She actually did not like to pick up private calls during work hours.

But she looked at the caller ID and accepted the call. “Yun.”

“Manman, are you busy?”

“A little,” Lu Manman said impatiently.

Development in the workplace was much more difficult than she’d thought. Furthermore, in the last two weeks, the market’s indicators had not only not increased but had actually declined. This really gave her a headache.

“You’re at work?”

“Mm-hm.”

“Didn’t you say before that you didn’t want to work in the industry or interact with businesspeople? Why have you suddenly thought it through now?” Wen Yun casually mentioned it.

Lu Manman’s eyes flickered, and she sneered.

In the past, she had been blind enough to believe that he would help her manage the Lu Firm!

“Yun, there are some things that I have to bear on my own. My dad only has one daughter, and I have to help him. How could I not?”

“Didn’t you say before that you wanted me to help you out?” Wen Yun asked jokingly.

Lu Manman had no idea how Wen Yun could be so thick-skinned as to say something like that.

That made sense.

He still treated her like a naive and silly woman who loved him so much.

“I don’t want you to be too tired. You have your own work to do.” Lu Manman casually found an excuse.

“But I’m afraid of tiring you out. You know very well that even if I were to hold you in my hands, I wouldn’t dare to hurt you. Even if I kept you in my mouth, I wouldn’t dare to let you melt. I wouldn’t bear for you to tire yourself out…” Wen Yun’s words were so mushy and superficial that they could be said without much thought.
