The boss had a serious expression, but his anger was evident on his face as he held his small computer, orchestrating his plans.
Shi Xinxin could no longer tolerate it. Such a disgusting person lurking around them meant that dealing with the Su family should not be delayed.
However, it seemed unlikely to strike a decisive blow against the Su family. Having operated in China for so long, the Su family had already established a stable client base and network of connections.
It would be impossible to bring them down in a short period. This was a protracted war, one that required collaboration with multiple companies and a joint offensive with business magnates.
Shi Xinxin gently stroked her eldest son's head and said tenderly, "You've worked hard, my darling. You don't need to worry too much about this matter for the next few days. Mommy will handle it. Thank you, though, for being so busy with Mommy's affairs all morning."
Shi Xinxin felt for her children. Among their peers, such young children would surely be engrossed in play all day.
Except for some children from elite circles who had already begun their busy academic pursuits, Shi Xinxin's children had already shouldered too much responsibility that was not theirs to bear.
Shi Xinxin felt heartbroken but also relieved.
With such an understanding little darling, she could free up more time and energy to carry out her planned revenge.
Thinking of the Su family's vile faces made her feel nauseous. Ever since she had seen the wider world and traveled to many countries with her maternal grandfather, she had looked down even more on the Su family's petty schemes.
It would be difficult for the Su family to truly integrate into the top-tier circles.
Then, they would use greater power to win them over. To make a comeback, they would push Su Li forward.
This way, the Su family could completely extricate themselves from trouble, attributing crimes such as a chaotic private life, corruption, bribery, and appropriating others' hard work to a girl no older than twenty. Such behavior was not uncommon; it was a strategy of sacrificing a pawn to save the king. What was familial affection to them? Even their own flesh and blood couldn't resist the allure of money and fame.
It seemed the Su family was not planning to let them off the hook this time?
With this thought, Shi Xinxin went directly to the company after lunch. The moment she stepped through the company doors, she noticed an unusual atmosphere.
This atmosphere persisted until she announced a company-wide meeting.
Her personal assistant came forward to report the company's severe internal dissent.
"My dear young lady, why aren't you worried? We've lost so many of our top designers, and you're still not thinking of a solution?" The assistant, seeing Shi Xinxin's seemingly indifferent demeanor, felt anxious for her.
"Have the people I brought with me left?"
"How could they leave? You trained them yourself and provided them with professional guidance. How could they give up such a good working environment?"
"For some reason, a large number of designers suddenly submitted their resignations. Some didn't even bother to submit them and directly jumped to other companies."
Thinking of the name of the company made the assistant grind her teeth in anger.
"The Su family's?"
Xiao Qian had reported to her earlier that the Su family was behind this entire incident.
"Is the meeting ready?" Shi Xinxin walked into the conference room with a serious expression, only to see everyone looking dispirited.
"CEO Shi." The manager stood up from his seat, looking respectful yet apologetic.
Thinking that he had not handled the matter assigned by the CEO well, Qi Feng felt ashamed to face the CEO.
"Sit down."
Shi Xinxin took her seat, her sharp gaze sweeping across every employee in the conference room.
Although her face was expressionless, the sheer pressure emanating from Shi Xinxin made them unable to breathe.
"It seems you already know."
She clasped her hands on the table.
"Can you see the empty seats in the front few rows of the conference room?"
"Is this how you treat the company?"
"Employees in China might not know, but do you old employees who returned from overseas with the company not understand?"
"With this attitude, how can the company break into the domestic market? What kind of compensation do you expect?"
A few simple questions were enough to make the managers present unable to lift their heads.
"What, speechless now? Feeling guilty?"
"CL doesn't need your guilt. From now on, everyone, pull yourselves together and face the upcoming difficulties. Regarding the departure of designers, I will no longer pursue it excessively. However, with the company's official production imminent, I hope everyone will work together to solve the designer shortage problem." Shi Xinxin's words were decisive, and the managers listened attentively.
"Additionally, you need to appease those who remain and make preparations to quickly monitor the dynamics of your subordinates. If you discover any disloyalty, dismiss them immediately and announce it; no more cooperation!"
This was a warning to others, a show of force.
"Meeting adjourned."
Shi Xinxin quickly walked out of the conference room.
Just as the managers breathed a sigh of relief, Shi Xinxin walked back in with a blank expression.
"One more thing: each of you must propose a feasible plan and send it to my email individually."
She walked out, leaving behind a room full of moans and groans.
How could Shi Xinxin not know that the real crisis lay hidden within every employee of the company?
If those designers couldn't be retained, then so be it.
She had indeed overlooked the morale within the company. It seemed she needed to implement new announcements and reward mechanisms.
In her office, she suddenly received a WeChat message.
It was from the person who had contacted the Divine Doctor of Ghost Hands.
"[Hello, are you available tomorrow? We can arrange to pick you up.]"
Sheng Chenjin's assistant's hand trembled slightly.
Who knew how long they had been searching for the Divine Doctor of Ghost Hands. They had finally managed to get in touch.
"[Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, wait for me at the entrance of the Haojue Club.]"
Shi Xinxin typed these words expressionlessly.
"[Received, thank you!]"
The other party replied with a cute emoji.
Shi Xinxin tossed her phone aside without even looking.
Sheng Chenjin's assistant, seeing that the other party did not reply for a long time, felt that the Divine Doctor of Ghost Hands was indeed aloof, truly a peerless physician whose cure was difficult to obtain.
Yes, he had already classified the Divine Doctor of Ghost Hands as male.
...
The managers, in response to the crisis, freely expressed their feasible solutions. Shi Xinxin replied to each one, and they engaged in lively discussions, dispelling the tension from the afternoon meeting.
"Everyone's suggestions are excellent. Although we have lost many domestic designers, we still have a few designers from abroad. Why not change our initial plan and focus on designs from this group of international designers?"
The atmosphere became warm and active again.
Witnessing the change in the company's attitude, the stone in Shi Xinxin's heart finally fell.
She had faced considerable pressure bringing CL into the domestic market. She had to excel in the field of jewelry design to live up to her maternal grandfather's cultivation.
After resolving the company's issues, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Without the domestic designers they had sought to recruit, they could operate normally, and Su Li's scheme had essentially failed.
Shi Xinxin, carrying her medical kit, drove back to the hotel.
