Jiang Jingchen noticed that Tang Beibei’s mood was much better and her wounds had faded. After sending her to school, he went to work.

When he arrived at the company, he first went to host a morning meeting. After returning to the office, he instructed Song Zhou to arrange the schedule, as various department heads still needed to hold meetings.

In the past, Jiang Xing’s management style required holding the authority firmly, with department heads having minimal decision-making power. However, Jiang Jingchen’s management style was different from Jiang Xing’s. He focused on the overall direction, allowing department heads to handle minor issues themselves.

However, some department heads weren’t accustomed to this approach. Therefore, Jiang Jingchen needed to develop a management model that could change their mindset.

Jiang Jingchen gathered all the department heads in the conference hall and asked them to express their opinions and ideas. The most crucial aspect was the target plan for the next month and the next quarter.

Some of the department heads were cooperative, while others were not.

The marketing department was uncooperative.

The marketing department used to be led by Jiang Minglang in the past.

Jiang Minglang especially looked down on Jiang Jingchen. Now that Jiang Jingchen had become the chairman, Manager Lin of the marketing department, deliberately went against him and Jiang Jingchen wasn’t surprised at all.

After listening to the customer service department and Manager Li’s plan, Manager Lin of the marketing department sneered.

“Manager Li, there are many loopholes in your plan. How do you estimate how many complaints there will be from customers? What were the main reasons for customer complaints? If your prediction is correct, then why would the company need a top leader? You, Manager Li are so powerful, you’re the best leader!”

Previously, Jiang Minghua wanted to deliberately make things difficult for Jiang Jingchen, so she went to the customer service department.

However, she had only been working for two days when something happened to Jiang Xing and she became the acting director.

Manager Li had no choice but to be transferred back to the customer service department.

Manager Li has been in the customer service department for many years and can analyze the customer’s demands and the key points of the demand based on the monthly data.

What he said was very meaningful to the research and development department.

However, as the frontline of product sales, the customer service department often received complaints from customers about the marketing department, but the marketing department looked down on the customer service department. The two departments often had conflicts.

Manager Li wanted to retort, but he noticed that Jiang Jingchen was gesturing at him to not be angry.

Jiang Jingchen inquired, “Manager Lin, may I ask if you have any thoughts on your plan for your next quarter?”

Manager Lin countered, “You’ve never worked in the market before Even if I ten you, you might not understand. It’s better to invite the former chairman to listen. If it weren’t for him, the Jiang Corporation wouldn’t have been able to thrive all these years. Therefore, Director Jiang Xing has the greatest credit.” This implied disdain for Jiang Jingchen, the newly appointed CEO.

Jiang Jingchen said, “Manager Lin, you don’t seem to like my leadership style?”

“It’s not a matter of ‘seems,’ I really don’t like it!”

Manager Lin said confidently, “You asked me to report to you, but do you know what the marketing department has to do? You want me to provide you with a specific figure, telling you how many orders we need to secure each month The market is ever-changing, and whether the products can be sold also depends on luck. Who knows if our department’s luck will be very good next month? Young Master Jiang, you’re very resourceful. Why don’t you guess if we’ll secure more orders next month?”

Song Zhou chuckled in exasperation. This Manager Lin was truly incorrigible. The Young Master had given him some face, but did he mistake constructive criticism for an opportunity to showcase his defiance?

“Manager Lin, I’m not asking you to specify exact numbers. I’m just asking you to estimate it. You need to have a rough estimate before you can arrange the work.”

‘TH arrange the work. I don’t need any plans. I’m not prepared for what you guys are saying, so I’m sorry, I won’t say it.”

This non-cooperation was a deliberate attempt to go against their opinions.

Jiang Jingchen looked at him calmly and hastily ended the meeting.

He returned to his office, tugged at his tie, sat down, and asked a few questions about Manager Lin’s identity.

“This Manager Lin can be considered an old contributor to Jiang Corporation.

He’s friends with Jiang Xing and has been the head of the marketing department for many years. It’s also because he’s friends with Jiang Xing that he always thinks he’s superior in the company and doesn’t take others seriously. The other department heads probably didn’t want to argue with him, so there were no disputes during the meeting.”

Jiang Jingchen opened Manager Lin’s resume. This Manager Lin was called Lin Lu, a native of the capital.

He and Song Yan were once classmates. Ever since Song Yan married Jiang Xing and he came to work at the Jiang Corporation, they had become good friends.

Jiang Jingchen thought of something and asked, “Previously, my wife saved a pregnant woman. Did you send a lawyer?”

“I did, but the pregnant woman just gave birth and isn’t in a good mental state. The lawyer didn’t talk too much about it. He planned to visit after seven days when the woman’s condition improves.”

“Call the lawyer. Let’s go to the hospital with me in the afternoon.”

“Alright, I’ll go inform them.”

“How is the situation with the Jiang family?” Jiang Jingchen asked again.

Song Zhou replied, “Song Yan wanted to rescue Pan Cheng and was caught red-handed by Jiang Xing. He got someone to beat Pan Cheng half to death and lock Song Yan up.”

Jiang Jingchen sneered. Jiang Xing imprisoned Pan Cheng so that Song Yan could save him. That way, he would have an excuse to deal with the two of them.

“How is Jiang Minghua?”

“She’s taking medication, easily angered. She quarreled with Jiang Xing over a minor issue. Jiang Xing was annoyed and locked her in her room.”

Jiang Jingchen showed no sympathy for their plight. He put down his phone and continued to deal with the documents.

He aimed to handle most of his work during the day to avoid overtime and spend more time with his wife.

In the afternoon.

He went to pick up Tang Beibei and mentioned the woman in the hospital Madam Du. He expressed his intention to bring a lawyer over to visit and asked if Tang Beibei was interested.

Tang Beibei wanted to go, but she still had classes. It would be best if he could wait for her after class.

Since she wanted to go, Jiang Jingchen would naturally wait. After her class they had dinner together before heading to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Madam Du had been transferred to a general ward. There were six beds in the ward.

Tang Beibei went to greet her. After taking her pulse, she said that although she wasn’t in a good state of mind, she was recovering well.

Du Huanhuan was very embarrassed and grateful. She even promised that she would repay Jiang Jingchen for the medical expenses after she was discharged. Tang Beibei asked, “After you’re discharged, are you going to find a place to live or return to your husband’s family?”

When Du Huanhuan thought about returning to the Lin family, her eyes revealed a hint of disgust.

“I don’t want to go back to the Lin family. The Lin family has already brought the divorce agreement, but they didn’t offer me a penny in the divorce agreement. They asked me to leave with nothing and even left my two daughters behind. How could I agree to that? Mr. Jiang said that he would help me fight the lawsuit. I’m still waiting for Mr. Jiang to help me.”

Tang Beibei frowned. Du Huanhuan had just given birth and no one came to take care of her. Not only that, but she was also clamoring for a divorce.

Since their family didn’t like girls but still wanted to snatch the child away.

That was too much!

“My husband said that he would help you. He will definitely do his best to help you. Sister Du, you have to work hard too. You can only take care of the child after you recuperate well.”

Du Huanhuan gratefully held her hand. “I will do my best. Thank you, Beibei You…”

“Have you signed the divorce agreement? After signing it, we’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate.”

Before Du Huanhuan could finish her sentence, the door of the ward was pushed open. It was Du Huanhuan’s husband, Lin Youwei.

However, he wasn’t alone. There was a woman with exquisite makeup and fashionable clothes beside him.

The woman hooked her arm around Lin Youwei’s arm intimately.

This was clearly a provocation!

P.S. There’s more excitement to come.
