In the end, Wei Wei lent the money to Fan Shengmei, using his hometown house as collateral.
At first, when Fan’s mother heard that the eldest brother’s house was being mortgaged, she firmly objected:
"Xiao Mei, your brother's house must not be sold. Otherwise, you can't let your brother and sister-in-law sleep on the street when they come back, right?"
And she kept asking Fan Shengmei to borrow money: "Go to those friends and ask if you can sell the house. Mom, I believe you will have a way!"
At this time, Qu Xiaoxiao, who loved to fight against injustice, couldn't stand Fan's mother who favored sons over daughters, so she criticized Fan's mother. Her few words made Fan Shengmei clearly aware of the current situation.
Therefore, Fan Shengmei was cruel and mortgaged the house she had bought for her brother with half of her money to Wei Wei. After receiving the money, she quickly paid the hospital fees.
Qu Lianjie didn't know what happened after that, and he wasn't interested in knowing that much. He took his girlfriend and booked a room in a nearby hotel without doing anything else, and fell asleep like this.
Early the next morning, after sending Guan Juer off to work, Qu Lianjie himself came to the company.
As soon as he entered the office, he directly ordered the secretary: "Call Zhao Mei, Qian Yi and Zhao Da over here!"
After that, Qu Lianjie sat on his office chair and loosened the tie around his neck.
After a while, secretary Chen Tao walked in and said: "Mr. Qu, Mr. Zhao and the others are here~"
"Tell them to come in~" Qu Lianjie waved his hand.
"Mr. Qu~" Zhao Mei, Qian Yi, and Zhao Da stood in front of the desk to greet each other.
"Do you three know about the Northeast Branch?" Qu Lianjie asked with a gloomy face.
The three of you looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, Zhao Mei said cautiously: "I already know~"
When Qu Lianjie heard this, he directly taunted him: "I asked you why the Northeast Branch keeps losing money. There's something fishy about co-authorship!"
"Zhao Da, you are the financial director. How have you managed the accounts these years? Liu Ming and the others have been embezzling every day or two, but you haven't noticed any problems with the accounts in the past few years?"
"That..." Zhao Da didn't know how to explain. Everything he said at this time was wrong.
You can't say that the branch's financial power has always been under the control of their boss. The group's finances only have the right to supervise. If I dare to say that, I will probably get out of here.
Seeing that Zhao Da was silent, Qu Lianjie stood up again, pointed the finger at Zhao Mei, and shouted loudly:
"Vice President Zhao, you are my first employee, and now you are the vice president in charge of the entire group's operations. You should know how much I trust you!"
"The employees outside say that you are better than one person and more than ten thousand people. That's how you manage me. You recommended Liu Ming to be the branch boss, right?"
"This bastard is so brave. He dares to openly violate the group's unified procurement requirements and privately substitute cheaper ingredients to enrich his own pockets. He is destroying me, and he is also destroying the jobs of the three of you!"
Speaking of this, Qu Lianjie slapped the desk twice angrily.
What else could Zhao Mei say, she could only lower her head and admit her mistake: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qu, I betrayed your trust!"
After Qu Lianjie vented his anger, he was almost done with it. After all, it had happened, so he turned around and walked towards the reception area.
Sitting on the sofa, his tone slowed down a bit: "Come and sit too, don't stand there~"
Zhao Mei and the other three people quickly came over and sat down: "Thank you, Mr. Qu~"
"Don't blame me for getting angry. I also know that the matter has nothing to do with you, but who put you in this position? At least you can't escape the responsibility for negligence!"
As Qu Lianjie spoke, he poured a cup of tea for the three of them, and then said in a serious voice:
"This incident in the Northeast Branch is not necessarily a bad thing. It just reminds us that other branches have similar incidents. We have also learned about this!"
"Those branch bosses have too much power. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. They think no one can control it. We must find a way to put an end to this matter and we cannot let them be lawless!"
Zhao Mei is the vice president of operations, and she had already thought of an idea before she came.
So he cautiously suggested: "Mr. Qu, how about we add a vice president to each branch, so that we can check and balance both sides!"
Upon seeing this, Financial Director Zhao Da also wanted to express himself:
"Mr. Qu, I think the financial power of the branches cannot be left to them to manage by themselves. The head office should send people to manage it. At the very least, it should be managed by the group and coordinated by the branches!"
"I think what you two said is fine. Let's go ahead and do it. If any branch manager has any objections, ask him to come to me directly~" Qu Lianjie said decisively.
Then I elaborated on the specific details, such as what are the responsibilities of the vice president, how the head office supervises the financial aspects of the branch, and how the financial department of the branch communicates effectively with the stores...
They chatted for more than two hours before finalizing the plan. Afterwards, Qu Lianjie leaned on the sofa a little tired.
He asked the three of them: "Now the Northeast Branch is leaderless. Do you have any recommendations?"
Zhao Mei and others are all talented people. One look at the boss's expression and he knew that he must already have a candidate.
"I think Vice President Qu Lianshun of the Magic City Branch is good. What do you think, Mr. Qu?"
After all, Qian Yi is in the publicity business, and he still has a way of figuring things out.
Qu Lianjie raised his eyebrows when he heard this, pretended to think for a moment, and then said: "I think it's okay, let him try it first~"
Afterwards, he told Qian Yi, who was watching the excitement: "The group must increase its publicity to the Northeast Branch!"
"Okay, Mr. Qu." Qian Yi, who had been making soy sauce, nodded.
…
A few days later, Qu Lianshun somehow convinced his wife Qi Hong, and took a high-spirited flight to Fengtian, where the Northeast Branch was based, and took up his post directly.
Qu Lianjie personally went to the airport to see him off. On the way back from the airport, he was videotaping with his girlfriend:
"Guan Guan, do you have any plans tomorrow and Saturday? Let's take grandma and my mother to the suburban villa to breathe fresh air."
"It's time for you to relax. There's an exam coming soon, so don't get too nervous!"
"Brother Lianjie, I'm afraid that's not possible. I have promised Sister Fan that I will accompany her back to her hometown tomorrow!" Guan Ju'er said with an embarrassed look on his face.
Then, fearing that her boyfriend would disapprove, she added:
"But you don't have to worry. Sister Andy, Xiaoqu and Yingying have made an appointment to go there together. We just happen to go to Nantong to have some fun!"
Qu Lianjie frowned when he heard this. Although he was not satisfied with her excessive contact with Fan Shengmei, he didn't say anything. After all, it was his girlfriend's own life, and too much interference would not be good.
So he smiled and asked: "Then if you want to go, wear more clothes. The weather is getting colder now. If anything happens, please contact me quickly!"
"I know, Brother Lianjie, and let me tell you, I have to move back in today, and I can't stay in the hotel with you, because I have to help Sister Fan with some work tomorrow~" Guan Ju'er felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, I'll help you move your things later!"
Qu Lianjie wholeheartedly agreed with his girlfriend's request. He had been staying in a hotel with Guan Ju'er these days, but he didn't know what happened to her.
It's probably because the exam is about to come and the pressure is high, so he plays "poker" every day to relieve stress, although Qu Lianjie is also quite happy.
But for four or five days in a row, I did it an average of six or seven times every night. It was true that my body was a bit overwhelmed, and I didn’t have the energy to go to work during the day. The key was that I still couldn’t resist the temptation.
Especially when his girlfriend Guan Juer puts on professional attire and black stockings, Qu Lianjie becomes even more irresistible...
