Chapter 831: Fake Boss and Real Boss

Qi Yan had mixed feelings after reading the entire article.

When she read the previous article, Qi Yan thought that the change in the Cold-Faced Lady was only because of the gap between Meng Chang and Boss Pei.

Meng Chang had failed because he focused on doing light and practical marketing; Boss Pei respected talents and was down-to-earth no matter what he did. That was why he was able to keep succeeding.

In other words, Qi Yan had always felt that Meng Chang’s problem was with his ability and not his attitude.

However, after reading this article, Qi Yan realized that Meng Chang had never intended for the Cold-Faced Lady to do well.

Meng Chang said so many pleasantries, but all of them were just words. He just wanted to sell the company for a good price. He had no intention to do as he said.

If Boss Pei had not intervened, what would have happened to the cold-faced lady?

Perhaps Meng Chang would have successfully embezzled money and earned both fame and fortune. The Cold-Faced Lady could have been sold to a large corporation like Quanmin Reviews. She had been sacked because of losses. The employees would have only worked for Meng Chang for a few months before they had no choice but to leave the Cold-Faced Lady to find a new job…

However, everything had changed because of Boss Pei’s decisive action!

The failure of the Cold-Faced Lady was entirely Meng Chang’s fault. Once Boss Pei took over, the Cold-Faced Lady would definitely welcome a brighter future!

Qi Yan shared the article with the Cold-Faced Lady’s work group at that thought. Then, she stood up and clapped her hands lightly to attract everyone’s attention.

“Please put down your work and listen to me.”

“I know that the company has been through some trouble recently. Many people don’t know what exactly happened or what they should do. Some of you are confused about the future of the company.”

“Everyone can take a few minutes to read this author’s three articles. I believe everyone can find the answer.”

The other employees of the Cold-Faced Lady still looked confused. They did not understand what Qi Yan meant by these articles, but they still opened them obediently.

Qi Yan knew very well that the Cold-Faced Lady’s employees were basically in a state of ‘sequelae’.

Meng Chang was too good at painting pictures and at giving the employees steroid shots. Previously, all the employees felt that the company’s prospects were especially good and their working conditions were all maxed out. However, now that the cold-faced lady was in trouble and Meng Chang had stopped caring about it, all the employees felt like they had been cheated. Naturally, they could not muster up any spirit.

Therefore, Qi Yan felt that the mentality of all employees should also be “rebuilt after destruction”.

Meng Chang was indeed the former boss of the Cold-Faced Lady, but he was no longer doing anything for it. Only by completely rejecting Meng Chang’s management philosophy could she unify everyone’s thinking and revive the Cold-Faced Lady.

These few articles directly exposed the cruel truth about the cold-faced lady. The details were detailed and easy to understand. They could be used as ‘teaching materials’.

Speaking of which, it was a little ridiculous in itself for the employees of the Cold-Faced Lady to have to read external articles to understand their own company. However, it was understandable as well. After all, many people, including Qi Yan, were actually kept in the dark by Meng Chang.

They might be “internal employees”, but who among Qi Yan and the others had really been treated as one of his own by Meng Chang?

Everyone’s expressions changed from confusion to lost, then to shock and anger, and finally to relief.

Actually, many old employees still had fantasies about Meng Chang.

After all, Meng Chang was generous, good at painting a good picture, and was charming. In many people’s hearts, he was the perfect boss. Even when the Cold-Faced Lady was facing bankruptcy, many employees still unconditionally believed that Meng Chang would come back to save the company.

However, after reading these three articles, Meng Chang’s image in their hearts collapsed.

How was this a perfect boss? He was obviously pretending!

Why was Meng Chang so generous and so good to his employees? That was because he had no intention of managing the Cold-Faced Lady for a long time. He only wanted to earn a sum of money and run away. Since he was earning quick money, he would of course be good to his employees because he was exploiting them!

However, some of them felt very lucky even though they were angry.

Fortunately, Boss Pei made his move and Meng Chang’s plan failed!

Now that the Cold-Faced Lady was in Boss Pei’s hands, Boss Pei was obviously going to make drastic changes to the problems left behind by Meng Chang when he was the boss. Wasn’t it worth celebrating that the Cold-Faced Lady sent away a fake perfect boss and welcomed a true perfect boss?

Everyone could feel that the Cold-Faced Lady seemed to have changed from this moment onwards.

Qi Yan was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction. Since these people were obviously not stupid to be able to enter the Cold-Faced Lady as employees. There were some things that did not need to be said in detail, they could be understood with a single point.

Qi Yan said to everyone, “I know. What happened a while ago made everyone very confused. They were not doing well at work. I’m the same. I’m not sure about the future.”

“However, Boss Pei has already pointed out the direction of the Cold-Faced Lady’s future development. What’s more, it’s different from the vision that Meng Chang painted. Boss Pei’s direction of development is the real down-to-earth choice!”

“I’ll briefly explain the recruitment of outstanding vendors to be Gourmet Advisers. Everyone, listen carefully. I hope that everyone will cooperate with me in the future…”

Qi Yan took the opportunity to explain her work plan in detail.

Everyone listened intently. Someone would raise their own opinions and actively participate from time to time.

They could feel that Cold-Faced Lady’s fate was already changing!

…

…

January 18th, Wednesday morning…

Meng Chang stepped onto Jingzhou’s land once again with mixed feelings.

He was relaxed and confident on his previous trips. His suit was ironed without a single wrinkle, his mustache was meticulously trimmed, and he exuded confidence everywhere.

However, this time, his clothes were full of wrinkles and green stubble had appeared on his cheeks. He looked very haggard.

During the period after the Cold-Faced Lady went bankrupt, he had thought of many ways and found many investors and big companies. However, all of them rejected him. The coldness and warmth of human relationships were vividly reflected.

Back when the Cold-Faced Lady was at the peak of her career, Meng Chang was a distinguished guest no matter where he went. The investors and bosses treated him very politely. Now, they would ask the assistants to turn him away and not even bother to meet him.

Meng Chang finally had no choice but to accept his current situation after suffering a series of blows: he could not survive anymore.

Of course, Meng Chang’s capability was still his own. It would not be a problem for him to find an ordinary job.

However Meng Chang’s character would not allow him to accept such an ordinary job, much less the fate of having to work hard for decades to pay off his debts.

Thus, he was utterly dispirited with the huge gap between his ideals and reality.

Meng Chang did not have a house under his name but his beloved car was taken away and his bank card was frozen.

Meng Chang could not live in the house that he had originally rented because he did not have money to pay for rent. In the end, he found a friend to borrow money and moved to a basement for a couple of days.

However, the one thing that dealt the most severe blow to Meng Chang were still the articles.

Meng Chang, who had no work or place to go, was holed up in the basement of Beijing. He had nothing to do all day and saw these three articles while browsing the internet.

Meng Chang could not help but feel emotional after reading it. The article was well-written. It was simply heartbreaking.

Every step he took had been guarded by Pei Qian. It turned out that today’s ending was already set in stone from the moment he received the first sum of money from Dream Realization Ventures. Moreover, he did not know anything about it even at the very last moment.

This was not only crushing him in terms of intelligence, but also in terms of structure.

Reviewing the game after he failed left Meng Chang in despair.

Meng Chang came to Jingzhou today to meet Boss Pei to discuss work and salary.

Meng Chang wanted to pay his debts as soon as possible. He did not want to waste his life away in a dark basement eating instant noodles and only be able to take public transport when travelling long distances.

He did not want to do ordinary jobs. He could not fight for jobs that could earn more money. He could only come to Boss Pei to take a look and try his luck.

If it was the arrogant Meng Chang in the past, he would definitely not come to Jingzhou.

Boss Pei was obviously plotting against him. What good would it do to work under Boss Pei? Boss Pei might even make fun of him!

However, the current Meng Chang no longer had the arrogance and drive he had in the past. He wanted to move out of the basement in Beijing as soon as possible. He wanted to live in a spacious master bedroom where he could see the sun. He wanted to eat normal food that was not instant noodles. He wanted to earn more money and pay off his debts as soon as possible.

As for whether he would suffer working under Boss Pei… that was no longer important.

Meng Chang walked towards Dream Realization Ventures with that thought in mind.
