Supreme Heir Son-in-law-Chapter 1158 - 1157: Fire Them All

If this had happened in the past, Chang Jingshu might have sympathized with the employees and let it go, but now that the president has given her authority, and obviously doesn’t want this Xiao Li to stay, Chang Jingshu steeled her heart.

"You’ve been so negligent at your post, it’s better if you leave early. Don’t make me say anything unpleasant."

After finishing, Chang Jingshu asked her assistant Xiao Liu to go over and help Xiao Li pack her things.

Seeing this, Xiao Li knew it was pointless and, as if making a last struggle, shouted at the cold figure in front of her, "Why are you acting so high and mighty? Aren’t you just an interim president? You’ll be replaced soon enough, and if I leave, you’ll fare no better."

After Xiao Li finished speaking, her previously meek demeanor changed, leaving Chang Jingshu stunned. No wonder the president wanted her fired. Even if she wasn’t fired, she wouldn’t be grateful, but rather feel like the president was giving her a hard time.

Xu Ke turned around and looked at Xiao Li, showing a cold smile: "No matter how much you beg, you’d never actually listen to me. Since you won’t listen, why should I keep you? Just process her resignation. Oh, and take her to finance to settle all her wages."

After finishing, Xu Ke looked at the now frightened others with a satisfied smile. This move also served as a warning to others, but those other troublemaking employees wouldn’t be spared either.

Having concluded, Xu Ke handed the morning’s proposal to Chang Jingshu: "Here’s a list of the vacancies in each department. I’ve already given you the names. Starting today, recruit extensively. I don’t need to tell you the hiring criteria, right?"

Chang Jingshu nodded, but when she opened the list and saw so many vacant positions, she was shocked. Are they really going to fire so many people this time? This president is planning a major overhaul of the company.

"President, are you sure you want to do this? If we proceed like this, I’m afraid we won’t be able to justify it to headquarters."

"If headquarters disagrees, then don’t let me be president. If I am president, I don’t want to see such a rotten company; it goes against my way of handling things."

After Xu Ke finished speaking and was about to leave, unexpectedly he heard a sudden clap. Everyone turned to see Xiao Keyi, in high heels and a sky-blue dress, gracefully walking in.

The rest of the branch, including Deputy President Chang Jingshu, was astonished to see the young lady visit their company.

"Welcome, young lady, to our company for inspection. Is there anything you need me to assist with?"

Chang Jingshu quickly adjusted her clothes, ensuring she appeared appropriate, then breathed a sigh of relief before stepping forward to ask, while Xiao Keyi waved her hand and placed her bag in Chang Jingshu’s hand.

"You can just hold my bag. As for the rest, I won’t comment for now, but what your new president said was also what I wanted to say. Fire all the employees who need to be fired."

Xiao Li initially wanted to complain to the young lady but didn’t expect her to endorse Xu Ke’s decision, causing other company staff to panic, realizing their backing wouldn’t save them.

Xu Ke looked at the young lady, initially unaware of her identity, but after investigating a bit, realized she was the legendary Xiao Keyi, who was also his fiancée. It seemed this fiancée wasn’t bad after all.

"How do you find it here at the branch? If there’s anything unsuitable, let me know. And since you plan on making changes, let me hear your thoughts, your plans for the company—have you prepared all that?"

Hearing Xiao Keyi’s question, Xu Ke nodded confidently; this is where his strengths lay.

"I’ve already drafted those, and they’re now in the office. If you’re interested, you can come and review them with me."

After speaking, Xu Ke looked at the still-usable deputy president and said, "This afternoon, post the list of employees to be laid off in the group chat. Let them leave on their own, and ensure their wages are settled. As for tomorrow, start hiring new staff quickly."

Disregarding Chang Jingshu’s astonished look, Xu Ke and Xiao Keyi walked away, leaving a troubled Chang Jingshu behind, contemplating this dilemma with her assistant. What to do?

This massive company, although some of the employees are a bit lax, if they all leave, how will it operate? At least in the short term, it definitely won’t function properly. Moreover, the new hires may not necessarily handle the work.

If they’re a bunch of interns, the company might not see any development for two or three months,

Though Xiao Keyi said nothing on the surface, once she entered the office, she casually sat right down in Xu Ke’s chair.

"I know you want to reorganize the company, but after laying off those employees, bringing in new ones who are unfamiliar with the work will be quite difficult. For at least two to three months, the company will incur losses. Are you aware of this?"

According to Xiao Keyi, a gradual development approach followed by layoffs of slackers only after new hires are settled would be best. But Xu Ke’s thinking was entirely the opposite, and quite aggressive.

Xu Ke put down his suit and casually sat on a wicker chair.

"I’ve already considered this issue, and it won’t hinder us. If new hires work alongside those marked for layoff, costs will still be high. I mentioned hiring new people, but the leadership team must be supplemented by people from your headquarters. For example, I think your HR’s Hong Xuan seems quite capable."

On hearing this, Xiao Keyi nearly choked on her tea.

She was surprised Xu Ke even considered including people from headquarters, let alone Hong Xuan, someone her grandfather valued as a key figure. How did Xu Ke dare think of this? Yet Xu Ke continued.

"Furthermore, the branch’s current plan has significant gaps. If it continues developing as is, it will begin incurring losses within half a year and almost no growth within two years. So replacing this leadership team is necessary. There’s no worry about them leaking our secrets. I’ve detailed the rest of the development in the proposal, located in the second drawer to your right."
