Although no one said it explicitly, they were all deeply skeptical of Su Qianmo's words.
Not just the ordinary employees, but even the managers and directors exchanged glances.
They say a new official lights three fires, but wasn't Su Qianmo's fire burning a bit too fiercely?
Did Su Qianmo not understand the problems Caiying was currently facing?
Didn't she have Caiying's data in her possession? Hadn't she looked at it?
Or did she look at it and not understand?
"CEO Su," a young man in a suit raised his hand slightly. His name was Sun Wei, the director of the product department, who graduated from a well-known university with a degree in applied chemistry.
It could be said that in the entire Caiying company, he was the person who understood cosmetics the best. All of Caiying's products, big and small, had to get his approval before mass production.
Because of this, even the former owner of Caiying, Wang Youcai, spoke to Sun Wei with great respect.
After all, losing such a talented person would be a huge loss for Caiying.
It was for this reason that although Sun Wei appeared to be just a department director, his actual power was second only to Wang Youcai.
Seeing Sun Wei raise his hand, Su Qianmo's sharp, cold gaze instantly turned to him: "Speak."
Sun Wei had never experienced such a piercing gaze from a superior before. He was momentarily stunned before speaking: "CEO Su, I'm the director of the product department, Sun Wei."
"You're probably not very familiar with Caiying's current situation. I can give you a detailed interpretation of the data."
As he spoke, he picked up a stack of documents from the table and stood up: "As of now, we have a large backlog of products in our warehouse..."
"You don't need to continue. I already know all this," Su Qianmo raised a hand to stop Sun Wei before he could finish: "I received the company's financial statements and data yesterday. You just need to focus on managing the product department. You don't need to concern yourself with other matters."
Su Qianmo's words stunned everyone.
Damn!
How could this new CEO Su not give Director Sun any face?
Director Sun was a talented individual.
The previous CEO Wang used to treat Director Sun like royalty, and during meetings, Director Sun always spoke with an air of superiority.
But who would have thought that this new CEO would treat Director Sun as just another director?
"I... I see. I apologize for overstepping," Su Qianmo's words also startled Sun Wei momentarily, but he quickly forced a smile and said: "Since CEO Su is already aware of Caiying's situation, may I ask how you plan to lead Caiying to become what you described?"
Su Qianmo tossed the documents in her hand onto the table, crossed her arms over her chest, leaned back in her chair, and said with slightly furrowed brows: "Did you not understand? I said you only need to manage the product department well. You don't need to concern yourself with other matters. You just need to cooperate and do your job well, understand?"
"But..." Sun Wei wanted to say something more, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was intimidated by the intensity in Su Qianmo's eyes. He could only nod: "Understood, CEO Su."
Regardless of Su Qianmo's abilities, her demeanor as a female CEO in the novel world for so long was not something an ordinary person could match.
Although Su Qianmo always appeared gentle and kind when she was with Gu Chenan, when dealing with others, she was still that ice-cold female CEO.
This would never change.
Su Qianmo hadn't raised her voice, but her aura overwhelmed Sun Wei.
Sun Wei felt utterly humiliated but couldn't say anything. He sat back down, glancing at Su Qianmo before fixing his gaze on the stack of documents on the table, saying nothing.
Hah, this new CEO doesn't seem to understand who really calls the shots here.
Does she really think buying a company means she can completely control it and wield absolute power?
If it weren't for me, Caiying would have gone bankrupt long ago!
The others in the meeting room exchanged glances, unsure whether to praise Su Qianmo for her impressive aura or criticize her for being too aggressive.
Sun Wei was the product director. All of Caiying's current products were born under Sun Wei's supervision. Wouldn't it be risky not to give Director Sun any face? What if he decides to leave?
If Director Sun leaves, Caiying wouldn't be far from death.
Amidst the bewildered and incredulous looks of everyone present, Su Qianmo spoke again.
"Starting today, suspend the production of all products except for the moisturizing face mask. The marketing department should begin working with the public relations department to promote the moisturizing face mask as our company's flagship product. As for the other products, they can be given away as free gifts with the face mask."
Su Qianmo had previously tried various skincare and cosmetic products available in the Magic Capital market, and she had to admit that Caiying's products were among the best.
And among Caiying's products, this moisturizing face mask was the cream of the crop.
If they wanted to revive Caiying, they could only choose one product to strongly promote, and naturally, that would be the moisturizing face mask.
As for other products, production could be suspended for now. They could return to the market after Caiying rises again on the strength of the moisturizing face mask.
But when Su Qianmo finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Everyone exchanged incredulous glances with those around them.
And then...
"CEO Su, Caiying's flagship product has always been our eyeshadow series. If you stop production on all products except the moisturizing face mask, aren't we cutting off our own arms?!"
"Caiying has always focused on makeup products. How can we suddenly pivot to skincare?"
"Even if Caiying wants to enter the skincare market, we should start with cleansers, toners, and moisturizers. This face mask seems rather cheap!"
"That's right, CEO Su. This moisturizing face mask has always been a peripheral product for our company. We usually give it away as a free gift with other purchases. CEO Su, you can't put the cart before the horse!"
The entire meeting room erupted into chaos!
Everyone began questioning Su Qianmo's decision.
Sun Wei, who had already backed down, instantly became furious when he heard that so many products from his department were to be discontinued, and the entire company would focus on just one face mask product.
You can refuse to give me face, but you can't discontinue the products that came from my department!
This is an insult to me, a complete and utter humiliation!
Bang!
He slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
"CEO Su, aren't you being reckless? Caiying has so many products, yet you've chosen to focus on that moisturizing face mask which requires no technical expertise. You're leading Caiying down a path of destruction!"
Su Qianmo remained calm and composed, as if she had anticipated this reaction from everyone.
However, Sun Wei's table-slamming gesture caught her by surprise.
"Director Sun, aren't you overstepping your bounds?" Su Qianmo coldly eyed Sun Wei and said, "Your responsibility is to oversee product quality. You have no right to interfere with company decisions."
"Oversee?" Upon hearing this, Sun Wei grew even angrier: "CEO Su, you want to stop production on all products. If all products are discontinued, what am I supposed to oversee?"
Then, Sun Wei, overestimating his own importance, went so far as to threaten: "If CEO Su insists on this course of action, then there's no room for me to utilize my skills in this company. I'll have to seek greener pastures elsewhere!"

In his first simulation, Chen Yi struggled desperately just to survive, knowing that living one more year meant one more entry draw!

Epic, legendary, and even mythic entries were gathered into his collection one after another! "What demon race or devil race? What dark turmoil? I don't know anything about that.

We're all struggling to survive out here. I'm trying so hard, so how are they still alive?"

Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
