Capítulo 918: Chapter 730

Chen Lizhou stared at the second email, momentarily at a loss for words, lost in thought.

The student had joined the company, his current company, during the probation period.

Unconsciously, Chen Lizhou’s breath started to quicken, yet his hands and feet began to feel weak, as if his body lacked strength.

He involuntarily picked up the water cup beside him—the water had been poured by Director Xing—taking a big sip.

Then came the second sip, the third sip.

Only at this moment did Chen Lizhou unexpectedly realize his chest felt slightly anxious.

Recalling his earlier dazed state, Chen Lizhou instinctively pinched the web between his thumb and index finger on his left hand with his right hand while rubbing his suit and belt with his left-hand fingers vigorously, then took out a pen to jot down notes.

However, once he picked up the pen, a new thought popped into his mind.

Thinking it over, he clicked on the email reply and started tapping away at the keyboard.

…

——Bang!

Chonghui typed the last word and then reviewed the evaluation report in front of him.

“Finished.” Chonghui rubbed his eyes and then pushed the computer toward Nan Zhubin, “Help me check for any typos or awkward phrases.”

Nan Zhubin nodded, took the mouse, and his pupils slightly unfocused, quickly skimmed through.

The report in front of him was drafted by the EAP Project Team regarding the theme “Unreasonable Layoff Policies Triggering Employee Psychological Health Issues.”

Chonghui poured himself a cup of water, didn’t even take two sips before Nan Zhubin refocused his gaze.

“Alright, no issues.”

Anyone else would suspect Nan Zhubin of being perfunctory if he finished scrutinizing such a lengthy report in an instant.

Chonghui gestured with his hand: “Hold on a moment.”

He drank the water cup dry in one go, turned, and said, “Alright, Xiao Kai, print out the report, we’re ready to go.”

The project team had already scheduled an appointment with Boss Wang, and it was now just a final check.

Mo Kai assembled the still-warm report from the printer and handed it to Chonghui.

Led by the eldest, the group took the elevator to Boss Wang’s office and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock—

“Come in.”

Nan Zhubin was inexplicably reminded of his times consulting; many scenes of knocking and then calling for entry.

Only then, he was always the one inside.

The CEO’s office was as large as an entire department’s workspace, Boss Wang sat behind a spacious mahogany desk, head lowered over a document.

Upon hearing the sound, he looked up with a smile, casually closed the document, and pointed at the chairs in front of the desk: “You’ve arrived, sit down, don’t stand.”

“You’ve come right on time; I just brewed the tea when I heard you knocking. Come—have some!”

It must be said, his expression management was superb. Since he looked up, his smile seemed soldered on, without a change in curvature.

Once the three were seated, Chonghui handed over the organized report.

“Is this the report you’ve compiled? You really worked hard. When you sought an appointment, I was startled; shouldn’t a report be compiled after the project’s completion?”

Indeed, though Boss Wang was the client, his understanding of the project was quite loose.

Chonghui shook his head: “Throughout the process, we implement ‘dynamic supervision.’ Each phase requires corresponding evaluation to promptly identify issues and make adjustments.”

“Initially, this should have involved a specialist from your side overseeing us, but perhaps you’ve been quite busy lately—” Chonghui offered Boss Wang an out, “so we conducted self-regulation.”

Boss Wang chuckled: “When using people, one does not suspect; I certainly trust your team’s professionalism.”

As he spoke, he pointed at Mo Kai: “And there’s Xiao Kai here, too.”

Mo Kai managed a smile, but unlike Boss Wang, his smile vanished quickly.

Watching Boss Wang flip open the report, his movements hesitated momentarily.

Chonghui subtly inhaled deeply, pretended not to notice Boss Wang’s reaction, and began the simultaneous explanation: “President Wang, this is our EAP Project Team’s evaluation report based on recent employee consultations…”

During Chonghui’s explanation pause, Nan Zhubin and Mo Kai picked up their teacups and slowly sipped.

It was very hot, rich in flavor, so intense it was overwhelming.

In fact, including Nan Zhubin, Chonghui, and even Mo Kai, by now they could somewhat discern Boss Wang’s attitude.

Just as responsible project members, Chonghui had to continue explaining.

“It elaborates on employee emotional issues and potential risks triggered by layoffs and pay cuts. We highlighted several cases, including…”

“The main reason for meeting you is to synchronize and attempt discussing solutions.”

Indeed, Boss Wang only skimmed through several pages of the report before closing it.

“You’ve put in labor; your meticulousness is impressive.”

Boss Wang leisurely sipped the tea from his cup: “The cases in the report, which department and positions are they from?”

Chonghui reminded: “It’s written in the report.”

Boss Wang re-opened with realization: “Oh… it really is. Why are there no names?”

Chonghui explained: “Due to confidentiality guidelines, we can’t present specific personal information in such reports.”

Boss Wang feigned exaggerated surprise: “I’m the boss; they’re my employees, I can’t know?”
