Chapter 1628
Xia Ruqing was very anxious.
Although she hadn’t gone to school, various ideas were still burgeoning in her little mind.
"Why don’t we also try to poach some sales teams??"
It’s said that money talks. Throw in enough cash, and sales stars aren’t that different after all. It’s not necessarily true that one’s better than the other.
"Perhaps we might even surpass them!"
Zhao Junyao shook his head.
"No, doing that would create too much noise, and it’s not my style!"
Xia Ruqing secretly rolled her eyes.
At this critical time, he’s still talking about style! What’s he thinking?
Zhao Junyao didn’t say anything, only frowned.
"How about..." She thought of another idea.
"Forget it!"
Zhao Junyao waved to cut her off.
"Let’s not panic; things aren’t that bad yet!"
"Whatever we do next, we can’t alert the enemy, nor can we lose our own footing!"
Zhao Junqi managed to sign the contract, showing he’s good at it, making it challenging for us to catch up.
So, let’s refer to Tian Ji’s horse racing strategy.
Use our strengths against their weaknesses; this way, we might have a better chance of winning.
"Don’t worry!"
"Let everyone try their best to do their jobs. I’ll come up with a solution for the rest!"
After Zhao Junyao finished speaking, he hurried off.
Xia Ruqing was filled with questions but couldn’t say anything, so she just returned to her desk.
...
The days passed one by one.
Zhao Junyao was busy with something; he hadn’t appeared since that day.
Any instructions were sent directly to Xia Ruqing as messages, asking her to notify the subordinate departments.
She herself hadn’t seen him either.
His phone was always turned off, so it wouldn’t help to disturb him further.
Every workday felt tense, although nobody said it, everyone was worried and conflicted.
The shareholder meeting was scheduled for the end of the year.
Less than half a year remained; time was ticking closer.
The gap between this team and Zhao Junqi’s team was widening.
Everyone was gradually losing their calm.
Some started resigning, some applied to transfer to the other side, and some, though doing nothing openly, no longer felt motivated to work.
You know, their opponent now is likely to become the future chairman.
If they offend him, they’d better not expect to have a good time at this company in the future.
Such a threat is deadly; everyone in the team was in a state of trepidation.
After work one day.
A few young women came over to try to cozy up to her.
"Assistant Xia, has the young director given up on our team? Why isn’t he coming to work?"
"Exactly, we haven’t seen the leadership in a long time. This team cannot be without a head!"
"Assistant Xia, please ask him for us. What’s going on with our..."
Xia Ruqing was a bit impatient, but she still held her temper and said.
"Everyone, don’t rush!"
"The young director would never give up on the team. Everyone should trust each other!"
"He’s asked us to work hard, to act normal, as if he were still here!"
The young women muttered to themselves.
’How is that possible?’
’Yes, the other side is so strong, and on our side, even the leader has run off. It’s impossible for us to hold our ground!’
If the new chairman takes over in the future, wouldn’t the team on this side be dissolved?
What would they do then?
Xia Ruqing didn’t know what else to say, she could only blandly comfort them, which seemed useless; not many were willing to listen.
...
After work, back at the apartment.
Xia Ruqing laid on the bed, feeling dejected and confused.
"Where on earth has he gone, it’s been so long, and there’s not even a shadow!"
"A team this large handed to me alone!"
She hadn’t even attended college.
What deep insights or far-reaching vision could she have?
What if she led them astray and messed things up, then what? If they lost, then he’s really trusting!
But it wasn’t as carefree as she thought.
He was worried too, but he had no choice.
That day.
He quietly appeared in the apartment, standing in the downstairs living room and looking up at her.
The apartment had two small levels; she slept on the bed upstairs, Wenwen and Xiaoxiao occupied the two rooms below.
The small apartment was tidied up nicely, with a comforting feminine fragrance.
Zhao Junyao walked slowly up the stairs, stood at the door, and looked at her.
"Qingqing, what are you up to?"
Hearing the noise, Xia Ruqing was scared out of her wits, realizing it was him as she turned around.
"What are you doing here?"
She snapped, both angry and distressed.
Climbing out of bed, she stomped over to close the door, but Zhao Junyao stopped her with one hand.
"What’s with the temper, so furious?" He smirked.
"You even ask!"
"Such a large team thrown at me, every day I work, I have to comfort your employees, and I also have to..."
"I’m doing everything, so what have you been doing!"
Zhao Junyao pursed his lips in a smile, stepping forward to sit leisurely on the small sofa by the bed.
"Naturally, I’ve been dealing with other important matters!"
Xia Ruqing was livid.
"Other important matters, I’m about to collapse, are you shirking work?"
Zhao Junyao was silent.
"Enough, some things are better left unsaid!"
"Just know, I haven’t given up on anything!"
"Next Monday, I’ll clarify things at the company, then, I’ll personally fire a few people!"
Xia Ruqing was surprised upon hearing this.
"What do you mean, fire?"
Zhao Junyao nodded.
"Several of them are likely spies from the other side!"
"Not only do they refuse to sign contracts themselves, but they also specifically obstruct our people from signing contracts!"
"They’ve helped the other side snatch away our deals, one way or another!"
Stunned, Xia Ruqing widened her eyes.
"Is this actually happening?"
"You wouldn’t have installed surveillance at the company, right?"
Zhao Junyao’s expression lit up with excitement.
"So what if I did?"
"Others monitor me, why can’t I monitor them?"
Thinking it over, Xia Ruqing agreed, and said no more.
She slumped back onto the bed, wearing a mournful face and lamenting her struggles.
"Where have you been, you can’t know how torturous my days have been at the company!"
Zhao Junyao couldn’t help but laugh, comforting her.
"You’ve suffered!"
"But in the coming days, you’ll have to tough it out a bit longer!"
Xia Ruqing was a bit frantic.
"What?"
"What exactly are you busy with, I’m utterly exhausted, you have to tell me the truth at least!"
Zhao Junyao checked around to ensure it was safe.
Then he leaned close to her ear and whispered.
"Zhao Junqi loves being a salesperson, so let him continue doing what he loves!"
A general might be excellent in battle, but that doesn’t qualify him to be an emperor.
Thus, someone great at sales may not be great at management.
The chairman’s position is akin to being an emperor, both being akin to a leader, meant to guide everyone toward better development.
Not to spend all day pondering how to be a good salesperson.
"He’s so excellent every day, there must be quite a few management loopholes!"
Understanding his intention, Xia Ruqing suddenly felt enlightened, as if a veil had lifted.
"True!"
"Signing contracts is always a task for the sales team, not the chairman’s job!"
