In the early morning of the next day, Lu Tianlong woke up early, and Feng Yongling was still sleeping soundly in his arms. After fighting hundreds of rounds last night, this girl was exhausted.
As the east grew brighter, Lu Tianlong quietly put on his clothes and came to the village alone, breathing the fresh air in the mountains greedily.
Insects chirp and birds chirp, the mood is good, it’s a wonderful morning.
Suddenly, the phone in Liu Tianlong's pocket rang.
"Lu Tianlong, where are you, come back quickly, something happened to the company!"
The caller was Wang Ying, urging urgently.
"What happened?" Lu Tianlong's heart trembled and he asked coldly.
"There's a problem at the engineering side. I can't explain it in a word or two on the phone. You'd better come back quickly!"
"Okay! I can get back before noon!"
Hearing that there was a problem with the project, Lu Tianlong felt a little relieved. As long as there was no problem with the safety of Su Lingyue and others, everything else was a trivial matter.
He raised his head and glanced around, thought for a moment, and said: "Ying, you stay, if anyone threatens Feng Yongling and her family, we will kill them if necessary!"
"Copy that!" Ying's voice came vaguely.
6 Tianlong rushed back to the Phoenix Group as quickly as possible.
It was already noon, and the large conference room on the first floor was still full of people at all levels related to this matter.
Su Lingyue sat in the center with a serious look on her face, and her subordinates were reporting the latest progress of the matter to her.
6 Tianlong pushed the door open and entered. Wang Ying quickly waved to him and motioned for him to sit over.
"What's going on?" Lu Tianlong asked.
Wang Ying leaned her head over and whispered: "We took over the Ascendas Group a few days ago. There are several large projects under construction. The time was delayed in the early stage. Now the projects are very tight. The workers worked overtime and finally caught up.
Check the construction progress.”
"But during the on-site inspection today, a big problem was discovered. There was a problem with the new batch of raw materials purchased by our project in the past two days!"
"There's something wrong with the raw materials?" Lu Tianlong raised his eyebrows.
"Well! There's something wrong with the sand and stones!"
Wang Ying nodded and said: "What we want to build is a high-quality project, a model project. We have decided to use the best raw materials at the beginning, but the batch of sand and stone purchased two days ago were all shoddy.
Counterfeit!"
"Manager Zheng, tell me, what is the reason for the investigation?" Su Lingyue said coldly.
A fat middle-aged man sitting on her left stood up with cold sweat on his forehead. It was Zheng Hai, the engineering purchasing manager.
"Mr. Su, I have already investigated this matter. It's not that we don't want to purchase high-quality sand and gravel, but high-quality sand and gravel are in short supply in the past two days. We can't purchase it at the moment, and the construction period is so tight, so we can only purchase some slightly inferior sand and gravel first."
On top of the gravel!”
"A little worse? Zheng Hai, please open your eyes and take a closer look. The assessment report clearly states that if we use the current low-quality sand and gravel, the lifespan of our construction projects will be reduced by 20%!
"
Su Lingyue threw the report in her hand at Zheng Hai and said angrily.
Zheng Hai didn't even bother to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Mr. Su, we also know this, but the appearance of good sand and poor quality sand cannot be seen, and both can pass the inspection!"
"The construction schedule is so tight now. If we purchase high-quality sand and gravel now, it will be too late! Why don't we use this batch first, and then hurry up and purchase new ones..."
Zheng Hai still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Lingyue with a wave of his hand.
"It's impossible. Notify the engineering department immediately and stop all projects. All projects using low-quality sand and gravel in the past two days will be demolished and rebuilt!"
There was an uproar below.
It's certainly not right to pass off a shoddy product as a good one, but if all the projects completed in the past two days are demolished and rebuilt, the project will inevitably be delayed.
At that time, not only will the reputation of Phoenix Group be affected, but the liquidated damages for project delay alone will be an astronomical figure!
"Project quality is the life and conscience of an enterprise! Even if it means paying a sky-high liquidated damages, I, Su Lingyue, will not do such bad things without conscience!"
Su Lingyue said firmly, then she looked at Zheng Hai coldly and said expressionlessly: "In addition, from now on, you are fired!"
"Expelled?" Zheng Hai trembled and looked at Su Lingyue in disbelief.
"Mr. Su, although Manager Zheng made a mistake this time, he and he have been working hard for Phoenix Group for the past two years. There is no credit but hard work."
"Yes, Mr. Su, for the sake of Manager Zheng who also cares about the company, please spare him this time!"
Someone below bravely tried to plead for Zheng Hai carefully.
Su Lingyue was unmoved and said coldly: "If you have any opinions, you can keep them. Phoenix Group will never allow its employees to do things that disgrace the company's honor!"
She turned to look at Wang Ying and said: "Manager Wang, immediately arrange for the work handover between Zheng Hai and Zheng Hai. In addition, he will be compensated an additional three months' salary."
"Okay!" Wang Ying nodded.
No one below dared to intercede for Zheng Hai anymore, not even one who dared to do so in a trembling manner.
"Mr. Su, please give me another chance. I have an elder and a younger one, and my whole family depends on me to support them. If you fire me, what will happen to my whole family?"
Zheng Hai prayed.
"It's not that I didn't give you the opportunity, it's that you didn't cherish it yourself!" Su Lingyue thought for a moment and said: "If your family is really in difficulty, I can arrange for your wife or children to work in Phoenix Group, but you, that's impossible.
Stay with the Phoenix Group any longer!"
"Is there really no room for further negotiation?" Zheng Hai asked with his last hope.
Su Lingyue slowly shook her head and said: "Absolutely impossible!"
"Su Lingyue, you are going too far!" Seeing that his dismissal was a foregone conclusion, Zheng Hai suddenly exploded.
He stood up angrily, pointed at Su Lingyue's nose, and said angrily.
"Don't even think about it. In the past two years, the Phoenix Group has been able to develop to this point. Isn't it because of our group of people who have supported you? Now that your wings have become strong and spread out, you are now crossing the river to tear down the bridge and unload the mill and kill the donkey?"
"I'm telling you, it doesn't matter if you fire me, but I'm not convinced!"
"Don't think that you can do anything just because you have a good background. I'm not afraid!"
"I have worked hard and diligently for the Phoenix Group in the past two years, but because of such a small mistake at work, I am going to be fired? I don't accept it!"
Zheng Hai shouted angrily.
Everyone in the audience was shocked. No one had ever dared to challenge Su Lingyue like this in person.
But then, some low-pitched discussions broke out in the venue.
To be honest, the mistakes Zheng Hai made this time were both big and small.
Even if the two-day project is torn down and rebuilt, and the workers below are asked to work harder, it is not impossible to deliver it on time.
At most it's just a waste of money.
Although everyone did not dare to say it openly, they all felt that Su Lingyue's handling this time was a bit excessive.
After all, this is an old subordinate who has fought alongside her for such a long time.
Su Lingyue looked cold and looked at Zheng Hai without saying a word.
Zheng Hai was still accusing him angrily. The general idea was that he had been with Su Lingyue for so long, and it was totally inhumane to fire him just because of such a small mistake.
It is said that Su Lingyue is a cold-blooded animal.
Lu Tianlong, who was sitting on the side, wanted to speak, but after thinking about it, he still didn't move. He looked with interest at Zheng Hai, who was cursing, and Su Lingyue, who looked indifferent.
"Mr. Su, do you want to call security?" Wang Ying asked.
"No need!" Su Lingyue slowly shook her head and glanced at the entire audience. Everyone who was discussing in low voices just now quickly shut up and looked at their noses and noses, not daring to say anything more.
Zheng Hai talked for more than ten minutes. Finally, his mouth was dry and his throat was almost hoarse, so he stopped talking.
"Have you finished?" Seeing him speak angrily, Su Lingyue sneered: "Since you are not convinced, let me ask you a few questions!"
"Problem?" Zheng Hai was stunned.
"That's right! Do you really think that I fired you because you purchased low-quality sand and gravel and delayed the construction period?" Su Lingyue said lightly.
"Isn't it?" Zheng Hai's eyes widened, not understanding what Su Lingyue meant.
Su Lingyue slowly shook her head, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
"It's not my intention to fire you. I just want you to calm down and see if you can figure out what's wrong with it! You really disappoint me! As the manager of the purchasing department, you didn't realize that our Phoenix Group
, we are now facing an unprecedented crisis!”
An unprecedented crisis?
Everyone looked at Su Lingyue with wide eyes, wanting to hear her continue.
"First of all, there has never been any problem with the procurement of raw materials for the project, especially sand and gravel. Why is there a problem this time?"
"Furthermore, it is the off-season for sand and gravel sales, and our Phoenix Group has a dedicated supplier. How come we suddenly cannot purchase high-quality sand and gravel?"
"Zheng Hai, can you explain to me what is the reason for this?"
Zheng Hai was stunned.
He didn't think about this issue at all.
But in the past two days, his people came to him and said that the suppliers said that high-quality sand and gravel were out of stock and could not be purchased temporarily.
The construction schedule was very tight, and Zheng Hai was very anxious. He personally called two sand and gravel suppliers and got the same response.
He was very anxious, and after much deliberation, he couldn't find any solution, so he quickly looked for other channels and bought some sand and gravel of poor quality.
Now that Su Lingyue asked this question, he felt something was wrong!
Yes, it turns out that those suppliers are partners who have cooperated with us for a long time, and they are very strong.
What's more, it is the off-season for the use of sand and gravel. At this time of year, they reserve a large amount of sand and gravel. How come there is suddenly no sand and gravel for sale in the past two days?
Su Lingyue looked at him coldly.
"If my guess is correct, from now on, you will never be able to buy high-quality sand and gravel in Haiyang Market again!"
"What?"
Everyone was shocked and looked at Su Lingyue in disbelief.
You must know that although Phoenix Group mainly focused on foreign trade before, it also tentatively took over some construction projects.
Especially now that it has completely taken over the real estate industry of Tengfei Group, it has become one of the few large enterprises in Hai Duong City.
The demand for sand and gravel is huge. Logically speaking, those sand and gravel suppliers should try their best to find ways to build a good relationship with the Phoenix Group.
How could the Phoenix Group not be able to buy high-quality sand and gravel from the Hai Duong market?
"Boom!"
While everyone was in shock, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and an ordinary employee from the purchasing department pushed the door open and came in. His eyes were panicked and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Su, Mr. Su, according to your instructions, I conducted unannounced visits to several of our sand and gravel suppliers. It's true, it's true as you said. They have a large amount of high-quality sand in their warehouses.
