Chapter 1182 Taking Ruthless Measures
Liu Meilan spent an afternoon sorting out these matters, and tomorrow all that's needed is to discuss them, sign them, and then proceed.
That evening, she declined Qin Zheng's invitation and returned to the Wu family's old house to have dinner with her maternal grandparents, maternal uncle, maternal aunt, and maternal aunt.
Wu Yuze was also there. When he saw Liu Meilan coming over, he quickly asked, "Cousin Meilan, can we go on the yacht?"
Liu Meilan shook her head. "I have something to do tomorrow! I'll probably be busy all day! I'll come back tomorrow night to have dinner with the elders, and I have to go back tomorrow morning!"
Wu Yuze said with a hint of regret, "Cousin Meilan, you're always so busy! It's rare for you to come all this way, why don't we go out and have some fun together?"
Liu Meilan shook her head. "Not now. My husband is on leave for two days starting the day after tomorrow! I have to be with him. Besides, I have two children, so I can't be away for too long!"
Wu Yuze blinked, "Cousin Meilan, you're amazing! You got married and had a child at such a young age, and you still managed to do so well at work! My dad is always praising you now!"
Liu Meilan said modestly, "You flatter me! I'm not that kind at all. It's just that when something comes up, I have to do it! Although I can't go yachting with you this time, come find me on your birthday. I have a big yacht that can take you out to sea and let you experience the tropical atmosphere!"
Wu Yuze's eyes lit up. "Can I bring a friend?"
Liu Meilan nodded: "Of course, but you'll have to pay for your own round-trip travel expenses, everything else will be covered! Don't have too many people, no more than 5! If there are too many, I won't be able to manage. Oh, and don't forget to bring your sister along, she'll be visiting my house!"
Wu Yuze beamed with joy. His father had given him an unlimited credit card, but his allowance was limited. Although it was enough for him to live comfortably, it was far from sufficient to rent a yacht for leisure trips.
"Then it's settled! I'll bring my friends and my sister along! We can go swimming in the sea!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "Sure! I found an island with a glass beach, the scenery is absolutely beautiful, and most importantly, it's not crowded. It's a perfect place for sightseeing, taking photos, or surfing."
Wu Yuze rubbed his hands together, eager to get started. "Now that you mention it, I can't wait any longer!"
Hearing his grandson chatting happily with Liu Meilan, Wu Zhenhua smiled and gave him a few words of advice, "Things are different in China than abroad. You must abide by the law and be polite! Never be arrogant or look down on others! When you visit your cousin Meilan, do as the Romans do and be obedient!"
Wu Yuze quickly agreed, "I understand, Grandpa! In your heart, am I really such an unruly person? Although I grew up in America, I am still a law-abiding child! But I was tempted once and made a mistake!"
Wu Meihua quickly smoothed things over, saying, "A good young person is one who admits their mistakes and corrects them!"
Wu Songhua and Grandpa Xie were very proud to see how outstanding their granddaughter was.
They all understood that the older brother and sister wouldn't look down on their poor relatives back home. But the younger generation was different. Although most of the Xie family were middle-class and well-off, that wasn't enough to make the younger generation of the Wu family treat them as equals.
It was the second daughter, Wu Meilan, and her family, especially Liu Meilan, that made the Wu family re-evaluate their relatives in China.
After gaining a thorough understanding, the younger generation of the Wu family put aside their pride and interacted with their relatives in China with great humility.
This kind of attitude towards each other is actually the best. Everyone is comfortable and there will be no misunderstandings because of different attitudes.
That wouldn't be a proper family reunion; it would only lead to resentment. And once their older generation passes away, there probably won't be much contact anymore.
But things are different now. Wu Songhua can sense that his elder brother and younger sister's descendants are consciously or unconsciously aligning themselves with the mainland and seeking a way out.
The eldest grandson, Xie Tianyi, and the eldest granddaughter, Xie Tianli, came to Shanghai and visited almost every day, thinking of them.
Wu Songhua now feels that every day is a good day, and he has no regrets about dying.
Seeing that her elders were in very good condition, Liu Meilan felt relieved and knew that going back would put her mother at ease.
The next day, Liu Meilan arrived at the company full of energy and held a meeting with all the management with very high efficiency, and passed the agreement.
Liu Meilan looked at the voting results. Out of 50 employees, 27 voted that they didn't want to eat because they had plans.
Liu Meilan took out 1 yuan directly from her bag and put it into a red envelope.
After work, Liu Meilan personally distributed the red envelopes to everyone.
"Thank you all for your hard work! Have a great weekend, spend it with your loved ones, or relax alone and enjoy this wonderful weekend!"
Some people who voted against team building later regretted it and were worried about being retaliated against.
But in fact, absolutely not!
Liu Meilan happily handed out red envelopes to everyone. After receiving the red envelopes, along with the milk tea and drinks she had treated them to yesterday, everyone instantly felt that this resident Liu, who didn't appear often, was very approachable.
They only saw Liu Meilan's kind side; they would discover her terrifying side later. However, Liu Meilan was objective and wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for her employees as long as they did their jobs well.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu!" Everyone was very happy to receive the red envelopes. They thought they would be lucky to get 100 yuan inside, but they didn't expect to get 200 yuan.
Their salaries were not low. As ordinary employees in Shanghai, they earned around three thousand yuan in 2000, which was quite good.
This 200 yuan is equivalent to two days' wages, which is quite good!
After a week of intense work, everyone welcomes the weekend, receives red envelopes, and wishes everyone a happy weekend.
That evening, Liu Meilan had dinner with the management team to build rapport.
With Qin Zheng in charge, things got along quite well. Previously, they had somewhat looked down on Liu Meilan, thinking she didn't understand anything. But after several meetings, they became more respectful.
They could tell that Qin Zheng's seriousness was only on the surface, but Liu Meilan's was stern to the core.
One of the vice presidents had been imprisoned by Liu Meilan for accepting bribes from suppliers!
The remaining people dared not reach out; their salaries were very high, and they didn't want to lose this company with such excellent benefits.
They still don't understand where Liu Meilan got the evidence from, and how she so easily found evidence of the vice president's crimes.
If the amount embezzled is not high, Liu Meilan might turn a blind eye, considering the company is newly established.
However, he embezzled a full five million, which Liu Meilan could not tolerate. At the same time, she also wanted to use this action to make an example of him.
Even amidst internal turmoil, Liu Meilan still used forceful methods to bring people to justice.
Many companies would choose to let things slide, but Liu Meilan didn't want to start off badly and ruin the company's atmosphere!
