Chapter 81

Yu Jing silently watched Su Qiliang, who was furious. She knew that after seeing this document, the Su family would definitely be dissatisfied. After all, if the content were to be implemented, the actual power of the departments controlled by the Su family would be taken away by the Resource Allocation Department.

"President Yu, this is completely unreasonable, and expanding the Resource Allocation Department so drastically is also impractical!" Su Qiguang also opposed.

"President Yu, Mu Yan's actions yesterday have caused the IT department to be unable to function normally. Even if you want to implement the plan, you can't let someone like him be the manager, right?" Min Shu deliberately brought up yesterday's incident, which immediately drew many people's attention to Mu Yan.

Yu Jing asked calmly, "Director Min, are you dissatisfied with Mu Yan's actions?"

"It's obvious. Not just the IT department, but I think none of the colleagues from the various departments here have received their ordered office supplies today. A person who can't even do their original job well, I think President Yu should consider dismissing him first!" Min Shu countered.

"Indeed..."

After Min Shu spoke, many people echoed his sentiment, even with a hint of coercion, as if they wouldn't stop until Mu Yan was dismissed.

Yu Jing narrowed her eyes and scanned the crowd, then said to Mu Yan, "Manager Mu, do you have any explanation for what just happened? And also, give a reasonable explanation for your actions in the IT department yesterday!"

"Yes, President Yu. However, before I explain, I have a request. I hope everyone here can move the meeting to another place," Mu Yan said.

"Mu Yan, what do you mean by that?" Yu Jing asked seriously.

"President Yu, I believe that only by moving to that place will my explanation be more convincing!" Mu Yan said firmly.

"Alright, I think as long as it's for the company's benefit, everyone won't mind changing the meeting place, right?" Yu Jing asked rhetorically.

Since she had taken the moral high ground, no one would oppose it. Even the few people from the Su family watched Yu Jing and Mu Yan, curious about what they were planning.

Dozens of people quickly gathered in the first-floor lobby via the elevator. Mu Yan then called out to everyone, "Everyone, please follow me!"

He walked toward the stairs and went down.

Seeing the president lead the way, the others didn't want to fall behind and followed closely.

The stairs leading down were not narrow, but with so many people, it felt crowded. The dim lighting gave a somber feeling, and a few female managers were already feeling uneasy.

They soon reached the second basement level. As soon as they entered, a musty smell hit their noses. Wet mops were drying on both sides of the stairs, and the floor was damp, making it feel dirty and smelly. Most people covered their noses.

However, everyone knew this was the place for the Resource Allocation Department. They hadn't expected the environment to be so poor, especially since the area occupied by the cleaning company had a strong smell of a sewage ditch, and the stairs were the worst.

Thinking about how the noble son had been working in such a place in his own company without any complaints, Yu Jing felt a pang in her heart. She looked at Mu Yan's tall back with even more tenderness.

After passing through the walls of piled office supplies, they entered a room with a few dilapidated desks and three old computers.

"Mu Yan, where are the people in your department?" Yu Jing asked again.

Mu Yan smiled and said, "Before answering President Yu's question, I want to explain what happened yesterday, which will explain where they are."

Mu Yan walked to his desk and faced everyone, "First, I need to explain that the reason the office supplies were not delivered to everyone yesterday was not because we didn't do our job, but because we lacked the conditions. Everyone knows that after you order office supplies, they are sent to us through the computer network. We receive them, sort them out, and then deliver them. Unfortunately, perhaps because Secretary Tong changed the location, without her supervision, the last usable computer in my department also broke down. We had no way of knowing what everyone needed, so we couldn't deliver them."

Hearing this and seeing the old computers, it didn't seem like he was making it up.

Mu Yan continued, "Of course, when problems arise, I naturally want to solve them. However, based on my understanding, our department has applied for computers from the IT department over ten times since last year, but the response has always been a shortage of computer resources. I don't understand why, as the Resource Allocation Department is a direct department of the company. Even though we have fewer people, it shouldn't be this tight. According to my understanding, the IT department phased out a batch of computers last year, which were better than the ones here. Yet, they were willing to sell them at a low price rather than reuse them. I don't know if the IT department managers did this intentionally or if their brains were damaged after joining the company. So, I had to simulate their actions, which is why I went to the IT department yesterday. If what I did was wrong, I believe the IT department managers should share the same responsibility. If President Yu wants to dismiss me, I have no complaints, but I hope the IT department managers are also dismissed. Otherwise, it will be hard to convince everyone!"

Although everyone knew Mu Yan was deliberately causing trouble, what he said was true, and the environment here was indeed terrible. Even if the Su family had been at odds with Zhong Jiaqiang before, they still had to ensure the company's necessary operations. Now, they were the ones being caught off guard.

"Mu Yan, even so, you should have reported it proactively. If I knew, I would have handled it!" Yu Jing continued her act.

Mu Yan sighed and said, "President Yu, I know you are fair and just. However, although you are the president, there's a saying: 'It's easy to deal with the king, but hard to deal with the little devils.' Perhaps your words would be effective once, but who can guarantee that the people below won't cause trouble? For example, this time, I only took some office supplies from the IT department, but the IT department was completely paralyzed for half a day. I really don't believe that a lack of office supplies for half a day could cause the company's network to collapse. If this isn't intentional troublemaking, what else could it be?"

"Min Shu, explain yourself!" Yu Jing immediately asked Min Shu sternly, calling him by his name.

"Th-this..."

Although the lack of office supplies did affect work, the IT department mainly used computers, and the main server room wouldn't have problems in a short time, even if no one was managing it. This was something anyone with a basic understanding of the field knew. This time, Min Shu had no good answer.
