Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!-Chapter 639 - 593: A New Sea Territory?!
This weighty new contract was pressed beneath a pile of documents, as if it were just a trivial matter.
At that time, Lei Ran was overwhelmed with the company’s "rebirth."
Yan Yueqing’s continuous capital injections, the influx of international experts, and the factory renovation plans—each one filled him with excitement and a great sense of responsibility. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
When the boss handed him a plan for staff recruitment, demanding a scale far beyond the maintenance needs of the existing farms, Lei Ran felt perplexed.
He held the plan and recalculated repeatedly, comparing it with the current scale of the farms, the number of facilities, and the expected production mission. Every position seemed to have reached or even exceeded a reasonable level of saturation?
Recruiting according to this plan would not only significantly increase labor costs but might also result in overstaffing.
Fearing that President Yan might have calculated wrong, he specifically asked whether the number of hires was saturated?
Yan Yueqing merely looked at a maritime map, and with calm decisiveness said, "Not enough. Recruit according to the plan, and execute the job settings and salary standards at the highest level. We need to reserve talent, especially technical backbone and management. For the company to develop, we cannot just focus on these few acres of fish ponds in front of us. Our vision must be long-term."
"Long-term?" Lei Ran mulled over this word, finally understanding President Yan’s long-term plan!
Every seemingly redundant position, every reserved technical talent, was all prepared for this entirely new, larger battlefield!
The immense shock pierced through him like a current, rendering Lei Ran momentarily speechless.
He felt a strong sense of shame and fear!
Ashamed for having doubted her decisions, for using narrow "reasonable grounds" to guess her far-reaching strategies. Fearful for his wavering amid the storm, for almost being swayed by the online slander for just a moment.
Neighboring seas! That similarly blue sea was the more robust, more expansive dock that President Yan had silently prepared for the Sea Star vessel...
Thunderous means, Bodhisattva’s heart, an unfathomable layout... Every impression about Yan Yueqing noisily collapsed and was reshaped at that moment.
Lei Ran felt a hot rush rise to his eyes, not out of grievance, but the ultimate shock of realization!
It was the relief of surviving a catastrophe, and moreover, an almost reverent admiration for that young boss!
She silently shouldered all the misunderstandings and even slander just to give everyone a worry-free future when the dust settled.
This was not only commercial audacity but also a heavy responsibility and commitment...
"Therefore," Yan Yueqing’s voice silenced all debates, clearly declaring—
"Sea Star will not fall! No jobs will be lost! The company will relocate wholly to East Creek Bay! The planning and construction of the new base start immediately! For the remaining employees, salaries and benefits will remain unchanged!"
The immense joy swept through the venue like a tsunami!
Li Guozhu excitedly slapped his thigh: "I knew it! President Yan wouldn’t abandon us!"
Xiao Wang covered his face and cried, this time tears of joy.
Old Zhang kept nodding, his murky old tears streaking across his weathered cheeks...
Many couldn’t help but hug and high-five the colleagues next to them, hope near despair, like a gentle rain on parched land.
However, Yan Yueqing’s expression showed no relaxation, if anything, it was even more icy.
She raised her hand, and the venue fell silent again, the atmosphere growing heavy like the sea surface before a storm.
"Additionally, I hear some voices—saying I, Yan Yueqing, am a speculator coming for the new energy plan, a hypocrite who timed it right to buy the company cheaply just to wait for policy winds and swallow compensations alone?"
She let out a cold laugh, and though not loud, the sound carried an icy penetration, causing the venue temperature to drop suddenly.
"Sea Star Company is not a trophy I ’acquired’ from someone."
"It is my mother—Madam Jiang Yu—who, fifteen years ago, in the darkest and most desperate times of Haidu, personally impaled like a nail here!"
Jiang Yu?! President Yan’s mother?!
The entire room was abuzz!
Many knew of former President Jiang’s miracle and knew the company slowly declined precisely because it waited too long for President Jiang.
Yet who’d have thought, President Jiang’s daughter, President Yan, appeared?!
She came to save everyone?!
Yan Yueqing’s gaze swept over: "Fifteen years ago, with the abortion of the Deep Water Port plan, the investors all ran away, how many people sold land and left their hometowns? It was she, facing everyone’s confusion and ridicule, who acquired the bankrupt adjacent warehouse, rented this then-unpromising sea area, and founded Sea Star! Gave hundreds of families a way to live, a bite to eat! Do any slightly older employees still remember?"
