Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 458 Heartless in a CEO Novel (38)

For Xia Youmi, "becoming a permanent employee" doesn't really count as a promotion.

Her work is similar to what she did before, but it's a bit easier. The charity department, which was officially established this year, not only includes members of the annual cooperation foundation project team, but also some interns.

They got it by their own merit. Back then, didn't the logistics manager, General Manager Zhang, take the people from the secretariat away in the same way?

Xia Youmi didn't show up before signing the contract, but she already had trained agents in her team. She would take the new recruits to the site over the weekend for a hands-on experience, allowing them to interact deeply and see the real weight behind the business, which would then make them waver.

after all,

Those chosen by them must also possess qualities that attract the team.

When Xia Youmi is traveling, she is unreachable for routine work-related matters, except for major decisions made by the new department. Therefore, she has actually seen all the people who joined this year.

Going forward, aside from annual matters, she will only participate in decision-making at Shenta.

but,

With such a large organization as Shenta, it's impossible for them to dedicate all their resources to animal welfare.

Given her shareholder status and the need to avoid any appearance of impropriety, her current position is essentially that of a nominal director. Furthermore, in Shenta, departmental affairs are traditionally handled by the supervisor, meaning that from an outsider's perspective, she has lost real power.

Shao Yunshen offered a couple of words of advice.

However, this was Xia Youmi's choice based on a balance, as long as the president of Shenta didn't turn his guns on her. If both sides could reach a consensus and live in peace, then the opinions of others would merely be distractions.

After confirming that Xia Youmi's future strategic direction was sound, Shao Yunshen trusted him completely.

After looking at her shareholding, I strongly supported all her decisions.

With the support of funding and the reputation of Shenta, Xia Youmi focused on the path she had chosen. This time, she even tried to promote legislation, investing more money than in her previous attempts, but without any short-term returns.

Immediately, some shareholders raised objections, but it was too late.

Even if the profits are small, they're still less than a tenth of what others earned in the past. The more dividends you receive, the more indebted you become.

Furthermore, He Jing practically became the exclusive legal counsel for the public interest department. He was solely focused on making money, and to ensure Xia Youmi wouldn't transfer the business out, he continuously expanded the scope of his operations.

It's safe to say that Attorney He knows exactly what flavors of snacks Lian Nian Nian likes.

In addition,

Xia Youmi knew that she couldn't do it on her own, so she might as well borrow some of the male and female leads' help.

As for Qiu Ling's part,

She actually came to me of her own accord.

......

Since being transferred to the independent project team, Xia Youmi has almost stopped communicating with Qiu Ling and Xi Yangxi, acting like a completely aloof senior.

The childhood sweethearts weathered the difficult times together, only to realize in hindsight that it was perhaps better for Senior Xia not to get involved. This way, at least one less suspect would be identified, preventing them from getting bogged down in internal strife.

It's easier to make it clear that you won't help anyone.

However, starting this year, Qiu Ling has more ideas. Her family has experienced changes, and she has also been targeted and squeezed by certain capital.

Although it wouldn't affect her continuing to work as a secretary at Shenta, she wasn't made of clay and didn't want to be manipulated by others anymore.

Considering the background and the Shenta case she could see, Qiu Ling realized that it seemed that only Xia's approach could be learned from, but not by simply copying her series of operations that gave her the power to speak.

But if we adopt the right attitude, finding a way out shouldn't be a problem.

She also talked to the members of the public welfare project team and found that they had certain qualities and were brought together because of their expertise.

The person who gave me the opportunity was Senior Xia.

To put it bluntly, Qiu Ling perfectly meets all the criteria. She has experience in rescue work and can find relevant skills within the group. She can handle promotion and negotiation, as well as graphic design and video editing.

Anything that can be learned, Qiu Ling can master if given the opportunity.

According to official online information, she prepared a detailed plan, revised it repeatedly, and had it reviewed by others.

However, the person she inspected was no longer the same as she had imagined.

Xi Yangxi laughed at her, saying that Senior Xia's team wouldn't take her in. Their team was already well-established, and she wouldn't be able to secure a core position there; she'd be better off working as a secretary. Besides, did she even know what a woman's jealousy was? From what Xi Yangxi sensed, Qiu Ling's contact with her senior's boyfriend was enough to sentence her to death.

But Qiu Ling insisted that she did not want to fight anymore.

From her perspective, her childhood sweetheart had become hopelessly addicted to the thrill of the chaotic workplace. This kind of environment, where they would inevitably be swallowed up by the mire, was far from a healthy workplace; what future was there?

And,

The new recruits for the secretarial office brought a strong sense of crisis to Qiu Ling, who was anxious and tried to break down the door.

Her intuition told her that Senior Xia was right, and that the so-called glamour of the secretary's office was a facade.

They neither handle personal matters with the president nor are involved in any of the group's interests or development. What's the point of their existence other than causing trouble?

After making up her mind, Qiu Ling patiently waited for the three months to pass.

but,

Before she could even demonstrate her discerning eye, she discovered that Senior Xia had once again leaped over the dragon gate, reaching an unattainable position. At this point, expressing her opinion would be seen as simply following the crowd.

Everyone is scrambling to curry favor with the new shareholder, who is said to be getting a considerable share.

A colleague also analyzed that this scheme had lasted for nearly four years. She possessed absolute courage, control over the situation, and a low-key demeanor, yet she managed to keep her mentor, Lawyer He, firmly in his heart and mouth, working for her.

Yes! Xia Youmi was a newcomer back then.

Most importantly, even if they wanted to hide it, they couldn't possibly hide it from the president of Shenta.

This means that the CEO was always in the know, and they had reached a cooperation agreement. The tacit approval and permissiveness shown by them can be attributed to Shao Yunshen's keen insight. However, it is not easy to gain the trust of a domineering CEO to generate revenue instead of causing trouble.

Qiu Ling, who was very proud, was almost ready to give up. At this point, rushing up to submit the proposal would seem cheap and insincere.

But fate still gave her a chance.

......

weekend,

Xia Youmi and Niannian have made a good living in their small shop, but their leisurely pace of running the shop has become a habit that they can't change anytime soon.

Just as I finished watching the show and was about to relax my eyes, Nian Nian happened to see a scene that was worth paying attention to.

After working overtime, Qiu Ling, feeling depressed and drowning her sorrows in alcohol, runs into Mu Yongqing, the male supporting character she hasn't seen in a long time.

They couldn't win against Shao Yunshen, nor could they harm Xia Youmi.

Mu Yongqing hasn't appeared for a long time.

However, the timeline leads to Qiu Ling, who is in a bad situation, repeatedly encountering the other party by chance. From the initial act of saving the damsel in distress to the other party taking advantage of her, Qiu Ling realizes that something is wrong and tries desperately to get rid of the other party, but this affects her family.

Mu Yongqing toyed with her like a little rabbit, controlling his strength just right, allowing her to struggle but preventing her from biting back.

Xia Youmi was taken aback; it seemed these details had been cleverly avoided from her perspective.

She didn't know what partners Baoqing had found in areas where she hadn't collaborated with Shenta, or how she had ended up in such a dark state.

Perhaps the base color was already completely black, and now without Xia Youmi's bleaching, it was about to burst open, and the ink was about to seep out.

Mu Yongqing's car was parked outside, and his bodyguards all had a thuggish air about them.

Hearing Qiu Ling arguing with Mu Yongqing, and then retaliating when he started to touch her, the alcohol added fuel to the fire, causing a beer bottle to crack open on the middle-aged man's head.

Qiu Ling panicked.

Her instincts drove all her senses, and she frantically ran out the back door.

Xia Youmi and Niannian exchanged a glance in that direction and went downstairs.

"boom--"

"Ah! Yes, I'm sorry, I... I need to borrow a place outside, someone's chasing me!" Qiu Ling fell to the ground as soon as she entered, barely able to lift her head, but she still instinctively explained, hoping the shop owner would let her hide for a while.

Outside, Mu Yongqing and his bodyguards were quickly catching up.

Xia Youmi pulled the person inside and then locked the door. Her door was specially made and had a good explosion-proof rating.

After moving the screen to the outside, put it back in place to block the view.

Turning off the business lights creates a safe environment.

"It's alright, they can't get in," Xia Youmi reassured her. "Do you need me to call the police? Or contact someone else for help?"

"Wang-"

"I... Senior?" Qiu Ling was actually a little confused by Xia Youmi's voice, but the combination of that voice and Niannian's barking made the image very clear.

Tears welled up instantly in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xia Youmi helped the person up and onto the sofa.

Watching Qiu Ling prepare herself mentally, Xia Youmi thought that if she weighed the pros and cons, it wouldn't be a bad idea to lend some help to the female lead and also take care of their common enemy.

"I, senior, I want to focus on my career, not on dating! Could you please give me some pointers?" Qiu Ling mustered all her courage and then shouted out a silly statement.

"Eh?"

"Ah!" Qiu Ling was so anxious that she wanted to hit her head.

What is she saying?! Such a great opportunity, and she's acting like an incompetent fool, just crying to the pride leader about being bullied?

"Heh." Xia Youmi laughed instead.
