Chapter 170: Yang Mei Part 1 (1/2)

“Why isn’t anyone saying anything? Just now, I heard everyone happily laughing happily from outside the door. You all were arguing about something. No need to be so rigid, be more open! That is also part of work!” As I saw none of them speak, I said so the mood could be lighter, “Everyone, you may continue. It isn’t an issue even if it isn’t part of the work. We can work together and also have fun together!”

“Yeah, I and Director Liu will also participate in the discussion. I say we all work at the same place, no need to feel distant from each other. We all are friends. Otherwise, there will be a generation gap, haha!” Chu Gao said naturally as he looked towards me, “Look, it’s almost Twelve o’Clock. It’s almost time for the mid-day break. We can work after a little break. Let’s continue the topic that you were discussing right now.”

However, no one in the conference room spoke. Everyone looked towards the Manager of Public Relations, Yang Mei, strangely. Feeling their stares, Yang Mei lowered her head and blushed deeply. With her bright and intelligent eyes, she was looking here and there chaotically, not knowing what to say.

“Will anyone tell me what is happening here?” I was surprised by their reaction and asked. They were acting too strange.

“Director Liu, that… the matter is like this, we were just…” The Manager of R&D Department was a loyal student and fan of mine. He has always spoken the truth to me. Just when he was trying to say something, Yang Mei glanced towards him and hurriedly said while cutting off his words, “Nothing. Director Liu, we were just discussing what the security captain said and how he was a funny fellow. Right, Manager Li Xiaogang?”

As soon as Li Xiaogang saw Yang Mei’s look, he immediately followed with her words, “Exactly, that’s how it was! That’s what we were discussing!”

I didn’t say anything more. There wasn’t any need to ask if they didn’t want to say it. From my management experience in the past, I could tell that they meant no bad to me or Chu Gao, so there wasn’t any need to be worried.

Many staffs like to elect a leader of their own and follow their lead. It’s a very normal matter. In my previous life, before I became a CEO, I also once played this game of acting like a leader when the actual boss wasn’t around. It was only after I became the CEO, did I realize how hard the job actually is. Not only do the Boss needs to make sure that the company doesn’t suffer any losses, they also need to make sure that the staff under them are also working well. That’s why I don’t like to interfere in the matters of my staff too much. As long as they are working fine, there’s no need to stop them from having some leisure time.

“Well then, everyone can now go and rest. We will resume the conference after the midday rest break is over.” I waved my hand and said,

“Long Live Chief Liu!” Yang Mei said happily while raising both her hands.

Li Xiaogang was criticizing in his heart. This silly woman sure is looking for trouble. Unexpectedly, daring to call Director Liu as Chief Liu when Chief Chu is present.

However, Chu Gao didn’t fuss over it. In his heart, he knew who had the most authority to speak in the company, and he wasn’t discontent with it.

I looked towards Yang Mei and smiled. I rarely attend the conference at the company, and so, I am not very familiar with the people in the company. Though her calling me that isn’t an issue mostly, I couldn’t allow the rules of the company to be broken, and so, I said to her, “You must call me Director Liu, or Adviser Liu. Do not call me anything else, it will save you from wasting any brain cells.” {TL NOTE: Just call me by one name, and it won’t waste too many brain cells of yours and others. Make it consistent, so others don’t have any issues.}

“I know!” Yang Mei said to me as she made a grimacing face towards me.

In my heart, I was happy. This little girl is very interesting, daring to make faces towards the Chief. Looking at her, she wasn’t that old either and should have recently graduated from University. She should be around the same age as my Chen Wei’er. But then, I remembered that I am not the Chief, but only a Project Manager. Although my position is important, it isn’t on the same level as the Manager of Public Relations. Therefore, there wasn’t any need for this Young Missy to be respectful towards me. {TL Note: Happy in his heart for getting another addition in his harem.}

However, looking at one of his Managers making rude faces towards the actual Chairman of the company, Chu Gao almost had a scare and immediately scolded Yang Mei, “Yang Mei, what are you doing! Be polite, don’t be rude!”
