Chapter 1075: Chapter 1118: Group Appearance

Inside the conference room of the company, it was already filled with people. All the employees of the company were sitting here by now, and the meeting hadn’t started yet. The seats at the main table on the stage were still empty; the senior executives hadn’t arrived, but the ordinary employees were already present.

Recently, the company has been through some troubles, which made everyone feel the pressure. However, most of them joined the company since its establishment and had strong feelings for the company, so the majority have stayed on through thick and thin.

For new employees like Chen Min, although their emotional ties to the company weren’t as deep, they knew there were problems, but at least their salaries weren’t halted, so they were still watching and waiting. In the past few days, the company took some actions that were obviously moving in a positive direction. There were even rumors that the company was going to merge with several other companies to form a group, which seemed like a move toward much larger scale development. Therefore, they were also looking forward to the company’s resurgence.

"Does the company have any new moves this time?" someone whispered to the person next to them.

"I don’t know, but it feels like it won’t be a small move."

"Exactly. Our company has had such serious operational issues recently; I wonder how it will get through this difficult time."

A person who appeared to be a veteran said at this time: "You don’t know but the recent problems were caused by the pressure from a large group company. That company is very powerful, and even our city’s leaders have to show them respect."

Someone immediately said with concern: "Doesn’t that mean we’re finished?"

"It was indeed quite dire recently, but as far as I know, our company has resolved the issue, and now the company is planning to expand further."

"You just said that group is very formidable; how could our company possibly resolve this issue?"

"The specifics I do not know, but it seems our company has a strong backing indeed, and in the end, we managed to overcome that group."

Everyone here was whispering privately, and during this time a lot of rumors circulated. However, Meng Lei, Song Tao, and Liu Ying, the three relatives of Li Yifei, did not speak out. They were not quite clear about the situation either, but they knew that Li Yifei had returned and that there must no longer be any problems with the company, and even better opportunities lay ahead, which was something worth celebrating for them.

At 9:25 am, more than ten people entered the conference room, with Li Yifei at the forefront followed by Xu Yingying and He Fangqing to his left and right, with Ning Xin’er and Su Yiyi behind them, along with some other middle-level leaders of the company, including Michelle.

These people seated themselves at the main table, but what puzzled the employees below was that Li Yifei was sitting in the central seat, where Xu Yingying usually sat.

The fact that Li Yifei and Xu Yingying were married was known within the company, but in everyone’s hearts, Li Yifei was just someone who had climbed up the ladder by marriage, while Xu Yingying was seen as the real leader of the company. Now Li Yifei sitting there seemed quite strange.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we are holding the company’s first all-staff meeting, and I am very grateful that everyone could attend! This time our company will have many new initiatives. First of all, our company will join with several other enterprises to establish Li Group, and from then on, Dreamfly Company will become a subsidiary of the group. Now let’s have our group’s chairman, Mr. Li Yifei, speak."

Xu Yingying delivered a brief opening, and as soon as she finished, a buzz of discussion erupted below because this news was too sudden for them.

Li Yifei cleared his throat, and the conference room immediately fell silent. Everyone looked at Li Yifei. Li Yifei used to be just a manager in the Human Resources Department, but now he had become the chairman of the group overnight. The change was so great that everyone found it quite hard to accept.

"Colleagues, I think you must all be very surprised by this matter, so I want to discuss the situation of our group with you. Li Group is a fully privately-owned company, currently holding four large and medium-sized businesses with assets close to one billion. I will increase investment efforts. In the future, we will focus on developing several key industries, with an expected investment scale of over ten billion."

Li Yifei paused here, and the expressions on the employees’ faces were incredibly vivid. An investment of tens of billions... and still purely private enterprise, which would be unrivaled in Mile City and even noteworthy nationwide.

"In the past period, our company faced some difficulties, and I am very grateful that everyone has stuck with the company through tough times. Now, I can solemnly announce that these difficulties are behind us. Li Group will develop rapidly, and every employee currently with our company will have significant opportunities in the future. I hope that each of you here will be able to stand on your own in our subsidiaries one day."

These words instantly stirred excitement among these young people. They were now considered veterans of the company, and Li Yifei’s words suggested that the company would continue to value its current employees in the future. For young people, this had incredible appeal.

Next, Li Yifei highlighted several industries that the company was going to develop vigorously. As long as there was sufficient capital, everyone knew that making money would be easy in these fields, and they were even more optimistic about the company’s prospects, with everyone visibly thrilled.

At this point, Chen Min should have been overjoyed as well. The bright future of the company meant that her choice to work here was absolutely right, greatly benefitting her career.

However, she just couldn’t bring herself to be happy, looking at Su Yiyi writing something with her head down in the front, and sitting with the senior leaders of the company, there appeared to be a huge gap between them.

She had thought Li Yifei was just a small boss with a bit of money, and Su Yiyi being someone’s mistress was no glorious matter. But now that Li Yifei turned out to be an ultra-wealthy boss with assets worth billions, the meaning changed. If she were in Su Yiyi’s shoes, she’d certainly have no qualms about becoming the other woman, too. It was just unfortunate that she didn’t have that kind of beauty, which made her feel extremely unjust.

Meng Lei and Song Tao, Li Yifei’s cousins, were stunned at the moment. They knew their cousin was now extraordinary and very impressive, but they never imagined he would be this successful—worth billions—surely one of the nation’s wealthiest.

No wonder Ning Xin’er, such a big star, followed Li Yifei; and no wonder Xu Yingying, such a senior executive, stayed with Li Yifei through thick and thin.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Li Yifei’s formidable capital was the reason these beauties kept by his side. But only the wives who were closest to Li Yifei knew that wasn’t why they were with him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have one more announcement to make. Because everyone has helped the company through difficult times, the group has decided to reward each person with 5,000 yuan."

Li Yifei’s words were the most effective. Even if everyone was already looking forward to the company’s future, nothing beat having cash in hand, which immediately prompted a round of cheers, followed by a warm round of applause.

After the excitement died down, Li Yifei gestured with his hand, and everyone immediately fell silent, his leadership now firmly established.

"Seeing everyone’s love for money, let’s talk about it. Going forward, the group will implement a series of reward and punishment systems. As long as everyone works hard, we will never let anyone who contributes to the company down. Conversely, we absolutely do not need those who are complacent and simply want to coast through their time at our company. We will not tolerate it."

First mentioning the bonus and then addressing this matter made it easy for everyone to accept the idea. Obviously, as long as the work was good, future bonuses would definitely be generous.

Next, Li Yifei announced some internal personnel changes within the group. The company would have professional managers for future operations, while Michelle was transferred to the group company. Other personnel were also promoted, and some employees were elevated to leadership positions within the company, Chen Min included, due to her strong capabilities.

After the meeting, Li Yifei specifically called Meng Lei, Song Tao, and Liu Ying into Xu Yingying’s office. Inside the office, there were also Xu Yingying, He Fangqing, Michelle, Ning Xin’er, and Su Yiyi.

"Sister-in-law!" The three of them greeted Ning Xin’er, but they hesitated on how to address Xu Yingying.

Li Yifei smiled and said, "These are all your sisters-in-law."

The three were momentarily stunned, but then they quickly caught on with the greeting. Xu Yingying and the others really felt somewhat uncomfortable. This was their first time interacting in such a capacity with Li Yifei’s relatives, especially Michelle, who was feeling particularly awkward.

After greetings were exchanged, Li Yifei said, "Little Lei, Little Tao, and Liu Ying, I haven’t promoted you. I’m sure you have your concerns about that. Although the company is mine and you’re my relatives, which should mean looking after you more, it really doesn’t fit with the company’s management style. I still hope that you can climb up by your own abilities—that will be more credible. If you ever need money, you can tell me or your sisters-in-law. No matter how much it is, there will be no hesitation. I hope you can understand."

Meng Lei was simple and didn’t have many thoughts, but Song Tao and Liu Ying couldn’t help having their ideas. Yet, upon hearing Li Yifei say this, they understood too. They were clear that by following their cousin, they would not be left behind.
