Chapter 226: New Path of Reform: Xiao Yue's Magnificent Beginning
The report handed over by Manager Li was like a thunderclap, splitting Xiao Yue's originally calm heart.
The eye-catching red numbers stung her eyes and also foreshadowed the bumpy road of Xiao's enterprise restructuring.
The sharp decline in performance and the chaotic financial statements all indicate the difficulties in the initial implementation of the reform plan.
Several core departments were like disjointed gears; the originally smooth operation became sluggish, and work efficiency decreased instead of increased.
Employees also began to whisper, full of doubts about the future of the reform.
Xiao Yue felt the pressure on his shoulders like a mountain pressing down on him, and a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.
Will all my previous efforts be wasted?
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
Now is not the time to retreat. The future of the Xiao family is in her hands.
She quickly called an emergency meeting of department heads.
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn, and everyone's face was filled with worry.
Xiao Yue was not at all flustered. She listed the problems on the report one by one and clearly pointed out the crux of the problem.
With her in-depth understanding of the restructuring plan and precise grasp of the operations of various departments of the company, she systematically replanned the work process and formulated corresponding emergency measures.
Her calm tone and decisive decision-making gradually calmed the originally anxious department heads. They were impressed by Xiao Yue's leadership ability, and their original doubts gradually dissipated.
After the meeting, Xiao Yue rubbed his temples tiredly.
She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the flashing neon lights outside, feeling mixed emotions.
At this time, Shen Ting walked in. He gently embraced Xiao Yue in his arms and gave her silent comfort.
"Yuer, everything will be fine." His low voice was full of strength and gave Xiao Yue great encouragement.
Xiao Yue leaned on his chest, feeling his warm embrace, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually subsided.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in." Xiao Yue said.
The secretary walked in and handed Xiao Yue a document. "Mr. Xiao, this is something Mr. Xiao asked you to personally review." Xiao Yue took the document, opened it, and his expression instantly became solemn...
"Grandpa...
"
The document in Xiao Yue's hand was Grandpa Xiao's proposal to suspend or even partially roll back the restructuring plan.
The old man's vigorous handwriting was particularly eye-catching among the black words on the white paper. Each word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Xiao Yue's heart.
Although Grandpa Xiao agreed to the restructuring plan, when he saw new problems emerging, performance declining, and a brief period of confusion among employees, his conservative heart began to beat violently again, and worry entangled him like a vine.
He believed that Xiao Yue's radical reforms had put the Xiao family in crisis and that they must be stopped immediately.
"Grandpa... still doesn't believe me." Xiao Yue murmured to himself, with a hint of helplessness and grievance in his tone.
Shen Ting patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Yuer, you have done very well. Mr. Xiao is just old and has difficulty accepting new things for the time being. You have to understand him."
Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in his heart.
She knew Shen Ting was right, but she couldn't give up just like that.
The future of the Xiao family cannot be ruined because of Grandpa Xiao’s stubbornness.
She said to Shen Ting with a firm look in her eyes: "I'm going to talk to Grandpa."
In Grandpa Xiao's study, the grandfather and grandson confronted each other again.
Grandpa Xiao pointed at the figures on the report and said in a heavy tone, "Look, this is what you call restructuring! The company's performance is declining, the employees are panicking, and sooner or later the Xiao Group will be destroyed in your hands!"
Xiao Yue did not directly refute Grandpa Xiao's concerns, but calmly suggested: "Grandpa, instead of talking about it on paper, why don't you go to each department in person and see for yourself." Grandpa Xiao was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xiao Yue to make such a suggestion.
He pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
The next day, Xiao Yue accompanied Grandpa Xiao to inspect various departments of the company.
First, they came to the production department.
Grandpa Xiao saw that the slightly old production line was undergoing technical transformation. Although the workers were busy, their faces were filled with enthusiasm.
His originally furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
Next, they went to the R&D department.
A group of young engineers gathered here, sitting around a table, enthusiastically discussing new product development plans.
Grandpa Xiao noticed that these young people's eyes were shining with longing and hope for the future...
"Wait a minute," Grandpa Xiao suddenly stopped and pointed at several employees working diligently in front of their computer screens not far away. "They..."
"What... are they doing?" Grandpa Xiao pointed at several employees who seemed to be playing games in front of the computer screen.
Xiao Yue followed Grandpa Xiao's gaze and felt a sinking feeling in his heart. That was the company's newly introduced employee training system, which used a gamified interactive method to allow employees to master new skills more quickly.
She forgot to explain it to her grandfather in advance.
"Grandpa, this is..." Xiao Yue was about to explain when one of the employees turned around, saw Grandpa Xiao, and immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Xiao! We are conducting training on the new system."
"New system? Training?" Grandpa Xiao looked at him puzzled.
The employee enthusiastically explained, "Yes, President Xiao introduced this training system to help us adapt to new workflows and technologies more quickly. It turns boring learning into a game, making it quick and easy for us to learn, and our efficiency has increased significantly compared to before!" He paused, then added, "To be honest, we were a little worried about the restructuring at first, but now it seems that President Xiao's decisions are all for the betterment of the company, and we all support her!"
Several other employees echoed this, with confident smiles on their faces.
Grandpa Xiao looked at them, and his original suspicion gradually dissipated.
He didn't expect that these young people would be so supportive of Xiao Yue's reform.
During the subsequent inspections, Grandpa Xiao continued to discover surprises.
He saw that the employees were busy but full of energy, and their eyes were shining with hope for the future.
On behalf of a group of employees, Employee A of Xiao made several suggestions for improvement to Grandpa Xiao and Xiao Yue. These suggestions were all based on problems found in actual operations and were detailed and insightful.
Xiao Yue listened carefully to their opinions and said on the spot that he would adjust the plan in a timely manner.
When Grandpa Xiao saw Xiao Yue being so humble and decisive, the last doubts in his heart were completely dispelled.
He patted Xiao Yue's hand and said with satisfaction: "Yuer, you did a good job."
Xiao Yue felt warm in her heart, and all the pressure turned into motivation.
She knew that Xiao's reform journey had just begun and there would be more challenges waiting for her in the future.
But with the support of her employees and her grandfather's understanding, she is full of confidence.
Just then, Xiao Yue's cell phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the caller ID and her expression changed slightly.
After the call was connected, she only listened to one sentence and then stood up suddenly, almost dropping the phone in her hand.
Her face was pale, her lips trembling slightly, and she said to the person on the other end of the phone: "What did you say...?"
