“Could it be that uncle has forgotten that both An Hao and An Xiao were directly parachuted in?!” An Nuan looked at An YanKun with sincerity and said, “I believe uncle has always treated everyone equally, he wouldn’t just be targeting me, right?!”
“When have I ever targeted you?!” An YanKun was truly angered by An Nuan until his face turned green.
“Since uncle is not targeting me, does that mean uncle thinks his own children should go through trials and tests just like me before they can smoothly take over positions?” An Nuan asked him.
Rendering An YanKun speechless.
He could not agree nor disagree now.
He was so embarrassed by the situation he was stuck in.
An Nuan gave a look to her father at this time.
Now was when her father could chime in with a fair word.
An Yanyuan picked up on the signal from his daughter and nodded in understanding.
In the group, An YanKun relied on his status as the eldest son to disregard his prestige and make things difficult everywhere for him, sometimes rendering him unable to hold his ground. He knew without thinking that today's meeting was definitely him deliberately making trouble. And now he finally knew what it felt like to be hoisted by his own petard.
An Yanyuan cleared his throat and said, “After being reminded by An Nuan, I also feel that it was somewhat inappropriate that I agreed back then to let An Hao and An Xiao join the company just like that.” Director Chang spoke sensibly just now that familial relations should not allow people of unproven ability to take on important responsibilities. While it is a minor matter to be subject to idle gossip, if the company truly suffers unnecessary losses, the crime would be grave.”
Rendering An YanKun speechless once again.
From his position, he definitely could not say anything more.
Anything he said would just make it seem like he was deliberately targeting An Nuan, he could not lose face to that extent.
An Yanyuan also waited a while, and seeing that An YanKun did not speak, took the initiative to say, “Since no one has any objections, then it is decided.”
An YanKun’s face changed color again.
He hadn’t even spoken yet, what grounds did he have to say there were no objections?
He quickly signaled to Chang Deyue with his eyes.
Chang Deyue was no fool either, he knew that opposing now would admit to targeting An Nuan, he had not shamed himself to that point yet.
He pretended not to see the signal, and kept his head lowered tapping away on his phone, seemingly busy with some urgent matter.
An YanKun gritted his teeth.
From his standpoint, he definitely could say even less now.
Anything he said would just make it seem like he was deliberately targeting An Nuan, he could not lose face to that extent.
“As the General Manager of the Comprehensive Department, it is indeed very difficult for An Hao to produce significant results there. Since the current General Manager of the Public Relations Department has expressed interest to return to his hometown company for a position, why don’t we have An Hao temporarily resign from the General Manager position of the Comprehensive Department, and have the Deputy General Manager take over as acting head, while An Hao goes to lead the Public Relations Department.” An Yanyuan started arranging work assignments.
As soon as An YanKun heard he had to take on work again, he could no longer remain seated, disregarding composure. He directly said, “This seems rather inappropriate, An Hao was doing well, suddenly changing his job position is clearly overly formalistic. Furthermore, I agree that An Xiao needs more experience since he just joined the company. But An Hao has already been with the company for three years and produced results in his current position, I am not playing favorites here, I just feel this is going overboard unnecessarily.”
“I heard uncle seems to not have produced any results.” An Nuan cut in.
An YanKun was furious, “Didn’t your father just say? The Comprehensive Department does not produce quantifiable results like the Sales Department, it just handles internal company affairs!”
“That’s why father suggested assigning uncle to the Public Relations Department.”
“You!” An YanKun was angered until spitting blood.
An Nuan said, “Could it be that uncle is truly favoring someone?”
“You shut up!” An YanKun made no attempt to conceal his anger, and was finally about to erupt.
“Enough!” An Yanyuan’s expression sank, full of prestige.
That moment also left An YanKun taken aback.
Ultimately in the company, An Yanyuan was still the Chairman. In aura, An YanKun clearly fell far short.
“Everything must be fair! Since An Nuan has to go through so many trials upon joining the company, so must An Hao and An Xiao!” An Yanyuan’s voice rang loud and clear, his aura bursting forth, “Starting today, An Hao will take over as General Manager of the Public Relations Department. And my reasons for this arrangement are twofold. First, the company currently has several major public relations projects that require tackling, it is the perfect time to temper and assess someone’s abilities, having An Hao take over is most fitting. Second, the Comprehensive Department manages all the company’s internal affairs, being able to arrange internal affairs properly requires interpersonal skills as a prerequisite, and the Public Relations Department is one of the best places to hone interpersonal skills. Once An Hao produces results in the Public Relations Department, when he returns to the Comprehensive Department he will have everything at his fingertips, and recommending him as Executive General Manager of the Comprehensive Department in the future will also be logical.”
An Yanyuan’s words were clearly much more high-minded. On one hand he explained the reasons for doing this, on the other hand he made future plans for An Hao, rendering it impossible to pick out any flaws. Instead, it highlighted An YanKun’s narrow-mindedness prominently.
“I am now setting a goal for An Hao, counting back according to An Nuan’s timeline. Within three months, tackle the company’s currently most difficult international amusement park project. Within half a year, assist the Marketing Department in doubling the total revenue from their sales orders compared to last year!” An Yanyuan enunciated each word clearly and powerfully.
An YanKun was truly infuriated to death.
Such a huge goal, how could an ordinary person possibly accomplish it?
But compared to the goal An Nuan just set for him, there were no discrepancies anywhere, he just could not find any reason to object.
“As for An Xiao.” An Yanyuan did not bother soliciting anyone’s opinion anymore, and took on his leadership qualities, decisively and firmly saying, “Independently complete a marketing proposal within three months, requiring it to increase marketing performance by 100% over current levels. Within half a year, work together with An Nuan to double the sales performance of the Sales Department!”
An YanKun’s expression turned ugly again.
An Yanyuan’s arrangements were clearly meant for An Xiao to die together with An Nuan!
If An Nuan failed to complete her goals, An Xiao would be implicated as well!
He was increasingly feeling that An Yanyuan and An Nuan were deliberately plotting against them!
An Yanyuan paid no heed to anyone’s emotions, and directly continued, “As An Nuan said earlier, if she is unable to complete the goals, she will never set foot in An's again, that is An Nuan's own decision, and I have no objections. However, I am not that harsh on An Hao and An Xiao. If they cannot pass the trial, they just start from the bottom positions as Director Chang suggested earlier!”
