Chapter 70 Changing People
Liu Ran, Liu Xiaomei, and Chen Yang walked out of Tianyuan Transportation Company.
Until they were in the car, Liu Ran and Liu Xiaomei were still in a daze.
Neither of them had expected that the matter would be resolved so smoothly in the end.
Not only did Third Master Hong repay the debt, but he also paid the promised ten percent interest.
In addition, they were even willing to pay an additional thirty million as compensation, but Liu Ran did not accept the thirty million.
Third Master Hong politely left his private business card for Liu Ran and said that he would prioritize the business of Tianliu Commercial Building in the future.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Liu Xiaomei said in surprise, "Director Liu, don't you think Third Master Hong has been exceptionally good to us? It's as if he's trying to curry favor with us."
Liu Ran also frowned and said after thinking, "To be honest, I feel the same way. That's the famous Third Master Hong. He's the boss of the entire Qingzhou City. Why is he so good to us? Could it be because one of us is related to him?"
Liu Xiaomei laughed, shaking her head, "I don't have any powerful relatives like that. If I had Third Master Hong as a relative, I wouldn't have to be bullied by Duan Lili all the time."
Then Liu Xiaomei said to Chen Yang, "Driver Chen, are you Third Master Hong's relative? Is it because of you that Third Master Hong is so respectful to us?"
After saying this, Liu Xiaomei also laughed.
It was clear that she knew this was absolutely impossible.
Now, Liu Xiaomei knew that Chen Yang was Liu Ran's husband, but she also understood that Chen Yang was just a delivery man. She didn't know exactly why he had married Liu Ran.
She only knew that Liu Ran had been disfigured before and was an ugly monster. Perhaps Chen Yang was lucky to marry Liu Ran at that time.
Liu Ran also said with a light smile, "It would be great if Chen Yang were really Third Master Hong's relative. Then our work would be much easier in the future."
The two women laughed loudly in the back seat.
Chen Yang drove the car and couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this.
He didn't expose anything, and it was fortunate that Old Master Hong was sensible.
He did not show any respect to himself in the office, and his respect and flattery were all directed at Liu Ran.
The three of them returned to Tianliu Commercial Building.
Just as they were about to enter the main entrance of the commercial building, they saw Liu Xin and Yang Long standing at the entrance.
Behind them were more than a dozen employees.
Liu Xin held a megaphone and shouted triumphantly, "Everyone, wages are the boss's affirmation of us, and they are what we deserve, our labor's reward!"
"We are employees of Tianliu Commercial Building. Tianliu Commercial Building has never defaulted on employee wages since it opened for so many years. Therefore, today, we must defend our rights."
"If the wages cannot be paid into our accounts this afternoon, then responsibility must be investigated."
Chen Yang and the other two walked over.
When Liu Ran saw Liu Xin's appearance, she felt a wave of disgust.
She quickly walked over, looked directly at Liu Xin, and said coldly, "Liu Xin, aren't you going too far? Tianliu Commercial Building is a property of our Liu family, after all. Are you not afraid that Grandma will hold you accountable for making such a big fuss?"
Liu Xin spat, and said smugly to Liu Ran, "Hold me accountable? I think it's you who should be held accountable. It's because you are the director of this commercial building that wages are being delayed. You actually have the nerve to criticize me. If you haven't done your job well, aren't you allowed to supervise?"
Then Liu Xin said loudly to the people around, "Everyone saw it, right? It is precisely because Tianliu Commercial Building has a new director, this incompetent Liu Ran, who took office that wages are being delayed. So, next, we must dismiss this director."
The people around immediately raised their arms and shouted protests at Liu Ran.
Liu Ran sneered when she saw this scene.
She glanced at the protesting people, and indeed, most of them were from the finance department, and some were from the public relations department.
As for the logistics, security, materials, warehouse, and other departments, their people did not come.
Obviously, Liu Xin had arranged a lot of people in Tianliu Commercial Building before, and the focus was on the public relations and finance departments, which were the most important departments, and where the most people were deployed.
Liu Ran nodded and said to everyone present, "Okay, I understand your demands. I have also noted down everyone present. However, to your disappointment, wages will be paid as usual. The wages should arrive in a few minutes."
"Also, I want to announce an appointment. From now on, Duan Lili, the director of the finance department, has resigned and has been handed over to the police. The two deputy supervisors of the finance department will also be held responsible."
"From now on, the finance department will be fully responsible for Liu Xiaomei, and there will be major personnel changes in the public relations and publicity department."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was stunned, especially those from the finance department. They exchanged glances. They did not expect that Liu Ran would dare to announce the dismissal of Duan Lili on the spot.
Duan Lili had always controlled the finance department.
Liu Xin burst into laughter and pointed at Liu Ran, saying, "Liu Ran, you have a thick skin. You can boast without even writing a draft. Pay wages? What do you hope to use to pay wages? I know better than you how much money is left in the finance department of Tianliu Commercial Building?"
Liu Ran chuckled and said, "Is that so?"
The next moment, an employee's phone suddenly rang.
Then more text message sounds rang out.
Everyone picked up their phones and saw text messages from the Industrial and Commercial Bank. Indeed, everyone's wages had arrived.
"What's going on? Didn't they say there was no money in the company? How come the wages are being paid as usual now?"
"And this time, it's even more punctual than usual!"
"Could it be that the finance department is really going to undergo a change?"
When Liu Xin heard the discussions around her, her expression was shocked and unbelievable. She immediately snatched a person's phone and looked at it, only to find that the wages had indeed arrived.
Liu Xin angrily pointed at Liu Ran and said, "What trick are you playing? There was clearly no money, how did you get the wages paid?"
Liu Ran just smiled and then turned to walk into Tianliu Commercial Building.
Liu Xin gritted her teeth, her face flushed red.
She couldn't figure out how Liu Ran got the wages!
She immediately took out her phone and called Duan Lili, wanting to ask her cousin what had happened.
However, after several calls, she couldn't get through.
Liu Xin's expression suddenly changed, and her heart sank. Could it be that, as Liu Ran said, she had really sent Duan Lili in?
The surrounding employees glared at Liu Xin and Yang Long.
One woman pointed at Liu Xin and said, "Miss Liu, what do we do now? You promised me before that as long as I followed you in causing trouble, you would promote me a level after you became the director. Now, not only have I not been promoted, but I've also angered Director Liu Ran. You must compensate us."
"Yes, yes, I was doing fine in the finance department. Now, I guess in a few days, Liu Ran will find fault with me and dismiss me."
"Liu Xin, you woman must be responsible for us."
The people around were indignant.
Yang Long quickly pulled Liu Xin and fled in a panic.
