Forestry Conference

"Very well, General Manager Chang."

The assistant nodded and quickly left the office.

A while later, a middle-aged woman walked in.

"You said you had something important to give me."

Seeing that the person who entered was a middle-aged woman, Chang Rui's expression showed a hint of displeasure.

"Yes, General Manager Chang."

The middle-aged woman took an envelope out of her pocket and respectfully handed it over.

Chang Rui looked at the envelope, reached out to take it, and proceeded to open it.

After seeing the contents, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he looked up at the middle-aged woman.

"How did you get this envelope?"

"Someone just came into the coffee shop and gave it to me, telling me to hand it to you. They said it was a trade secret, so I didn't dare to delay and brought it over immediately," the middle-aged woman explained.

"What did that person look like?"

"At the time, the person was wearing a baseball cap and a face mask, so I couldn't see their appearance clearly."

Chang Rui listened to the middle-aged woman's explanation and fell into deep thought. He then looked at his assistant.

"Contact the coffee shop and check the surveillance footage."

A while later, Chang Rui looked at the computer, which was playing a video.

The footage showed the interior of the coffee shop, with a person wearing a baseball cap and a face mask handing an envelope to the middle-aged woman.

Who is this person?

Why would they tell me the news that Nanhe Coffee is going to develop in Shanghai?

Chang Rui fell into deep thought. He wasn't worried that the contents of the envelope were deceiving him, because deceiving him about this matter would have no negative impact on him at all.

Besides, whether it was true or false, he would know as soon as he sent someone to investigate.

After pondering for a long time, he still couldn't figure out who this person was.

Finally, he concluded one thing: this was an ally who did not wish to reveal their identity.

He turned to look at the middle-aged woman.

"Good work. You may go back first."

"Very well, General Manager Chang."

The middle-aged woman paused, hesitated slightly, but eventually turned and left the office.

Watching the middle-aged woman leave, he turned to his assistant.

"Make arrangements to pay closer attention to the recent movements of Nanhe Coffee."

"Very well, General Manager Chang."

The assistant nodded and was about to turn and leave. But just as they made a move, their arm was grabbed.

"General Manager Chang."

"No need to rush just yet."

At Cheng Lin Decoration, in the conference room, Wang Yang looked at everyone present.

"I have reviewed everyone's performance reports for this year, and you have all done very well."

"In the coming year, I hope everyone will strive to improve their performance. If performance is high, not only will the company earn more, but your commissions will also increase, right?"

"Furthermore, this year our company's performance has ranked first among all branches once again."

"In the new year, I will increase the performance commission for all designers in our branch by 0.5 percentage points."

"At the same time, the headquarters has provided three slots for employee rewards."

"In terms of performance, I am ranked first, but since I am already the manager of the branch, I will forgo this reward slot, so the reward will be passed down."

"After calculation, the one with the highest performance is Chen Jun, and the second place is…"

Wang Yang briefly announced the list of award winners. A burst of enthusiastic applause instantly erupted in the conference room.

Once the applause died down, Wang Yang continued.

"Next, regarding business with Mingri Group: according to news from Nanhe Coffee, the Nanhe Coffee branches in the capital are already saturated, and they will be expanding to Shanghai in the coming year."

"Therefore, after the New Year, we need to organize a team to go to Shanghai in advance for investigation. Once Nanhe Coffee selects a location, we can provide renovation services immediately."

"Chen Jun will be the person in charge of this team." Wang Yang turned to look at Chen Jun.

"Any issues?"

"Manager Wang, rest assured, I will definitely get the job done well," Chen Jun immediately promised.

Wang Yang had already discussed this matter with him, so there was no surprise.

"That's good." Wang Yang nodded. After arranging a few more things, he turned to look at Supervisor Qi Bu.

"Supervisor Qi Bu, is there anything else that needs to be arranged? If anything is incomplete, feel free to fill it in."

He had just become a manager and was not very experienced in management matters, so it was better to consult Supervisor Qi Bu.

This was something he had discussed with Supervisor Qi Bu before the meeting.

"Very well, Manager Wang." Supervisor Qi Bu nodded, then looked at everyone in the conference room with a serious expression.

"Manager Wang put it lightly just now, but I want to emphasize that if we exclude the orders brought in by Manager Wang, the total performance of our branch ranks last among all other branches."

"Ranking last, yet receiving the benefits of the top-performing branch—are you not ashamed?"

"There will be performance evaluations next year. The requirements are not very high, but you need to put in the effort. Do not let me see you enjoying the treatment of the top-performing branch while making no effort at all."

"Alright, that is all." He then turned to look at Wang Yang.

"Manager Wang, I have finished speaking."

"Hmm!" Wang Yang nodded and looked at everyone in the conference room.

"Does anyone have any questions?" The conference room was silent.

"Since there are no questions, the meeting is adjourned." With that, Wang Yang stood up and left the conference room.

Returning to his office, he poured a cup of tea and took a sip. The office door was knocked on, and then Supervisor Qi Bu opened the door and walked in.

"Manager Wang!"

"Sit, Supervisor Qi Bu." Wang Yang pointed to the chair in front of the desk while pouring a cup of tea.

"Thank you, Manager Wang." Supervisor Qi Bu hurriedly took the tea and sat down on the chair.

"Thank you for the meeting earlier." Wang Yang said with a smile.

He had just realized that Supervisor Qi Bu was intentionally playing the bad cop.

"What are you saying, Manager Wang? That is what I should do. Because of your presence, those employees have indeed not been working very hard for the past six months; they certainly needed a wake-up call."

Supervisor Qi Bu waved his hand dismissively. As a supervisor, he naturally knew his position.

"By the way, Manager Wang, the New Year is almost here. Shouldn't we pay another visit to General Manager Chen of Mingri Group?"

"Oh, I know about that. I have already inquired with the manager over there. They are currently holding their annual meeting, and I plan to visit after the annual meeting concludes."

Wang Yang nodded. He had already planned to visit General Manager Chen.

He had received quite a bit of care from General Manager Chen this year, and there were already many renovation projects booked for him.

For example: Tomorrow Community, which is still under construction, the game base, etc.

Even if he didn't take any orders next year, the performance would be sufficient.

So, visiting General Manager Chen was definitely a must.

"Then, Manager Wang, have you prepared the gifts? Would you like me to prepare them? The headquarters should have approved a certain budget, right?"

Supervisor Qi Bu asked cautiously.

Previously, Wang Yang always wanted to give red envelopes, which he strongly disapproved of. As a dignified Group President who was not short of money, why would he like red envelopes?

Therefore, he was worried that this time, Wang Yang would still insist on the idea of giving red envelopes, so he spoke up to remind him.
