From abandoned baby to CEO

Sun Xue looked sharply at Zhang Jianguo in the crowd, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Zhang Jianguo hesitated, "That won't work... My mother is seriously ill... and I need money..."

Sun Xue glanced at the crowd, "Where are the others? If you agree, please raise your hands!"

Everyone blinked and stopped talking.

Sun Xue said in a strong tone, "If this company wants to survive, it must reform. Failure to reform will lead to its demise! As managers, you should uphold my path of reform instead of solely considering your own interests."

The plan to abolish the department was barely advanced, but greater resistance arose in the production process.

The advantage of Chengtou Construction is the construction of industrial plants and residential buildings.

However, in the current market environment, there is a serious oversupply of such projects and market competition is very fierce.

After investigation and research, Sun Xue decided to take a different approach and shift the focus of her business to the restoration of historical buildings and high-end customized projects, which have a large market space and relatively less fierce competition.

The main reason why Sun Xue is optimistic about these two projects is that she is attracted by the dozens of experienced craftsmen in the municipal investment company.

They have superb skills and down-to-earth work style, and the restoration of historical buildings requires such a group of veteran craftsmen.

As for the business of historical building restoration, Sun Xue has mentioned it to Vice Mayor Wang, hoping that Vice Mayor Wang can get more business for her, and Vice Mayor Wang readily agreed.

She personally selected more than 20 experienced craftsmen to form a "traditional craft restoration team."

She called Professor Kramer and told him her idea.

"Sun Xue, you are very far-sighted. China has a large number of ancient buildings, and the restoration business is a very large market. My company is also involved in this business. So, I will arrange a team to provide online training for your company's craftsmen, so that they can learn the most advanced restoration techniques currently in the world."

Sun Xue was very happy. It seemed that her prediction was accurate.

This business will have huge market space in the future.

If she has the strong support of Kramer's team, she will definitely be able to build one of the best restoration teams in the country in the future.

She immediately convened the restoration team to participate in online training.

Her idea was good, but problems arose on the first day of training.

On the first day of training, half of the trainees did not show up.

She immediately arranged for Zhang Jianguo to call these people and ask why they did not attend the training.

Zhang Jianguo reported to her after the call, "I've asked for leave. Everyone has asked for leave."

Sun Xue was furious. "A collective request for leave? Who approved it?"

Zhang Jianguo curled his lips innocently, "Boss Sun, what's the point of training? They're all very skilled, and many of them have won awards in technical competitions. I don't think this is necessary..."

Sun Xue is speechless!

No wonder this company is going bankrupt. From employees to managers, not only are their ideas backward, but they are also very stubborn.

It seems that her reform path is not destined to be smooth sailing. Her top priority is to change these people's minds first, otherwise the subsequent work cannot be carried out at all.

Sun Xue said angrily, "Mr. Zhang, it's time to change your traditional ideas. They're outdated."

Zhang Jianguo didn't say anything, but still had an expression of disapproval.

In his opinion, a girl in her thirties, whose age is not as long as the city investment company, has no management experience and is still here to tell him how to do things.

Naturally, he would not accept it.

Moreover, he had long known that those old craftsmen did not participate in the training. He deliberately indulged their behavior in order to create some resistance to Sun Xue's reforms.

He knew that a new official has three things to do when he takes office. Sun Xue's first move was to streamline the department, which already made him furious. Now what about this training? He was very disgusted with these fancy practices, so he wanted to secretly make things difficult for Sun Xue. He thought that if it happened too many times, Sun Xue would definitely give up.

But he really didn't understand Sun Xue's personality. Once she decided to do something, no one could stop her.

The next day after the training, Sun Xue went to inquire about the matter in person.

She found a very skilled master in the team and asked:

"Master Shao, why didn't you come to yesterday's video training?"

Master Shao did not even raise his head while polishing the carpentry in his hands, and said calmly:

"If I don't understand foreign languages, there's no need to learn them. I've been working in engineering my whole life. Do I really need foreigners to teach me?"

Sun Xue suppressed her inner unhappiness and explained, "Professor Kramer's team is a world-class architectural team. They have extensive experience in this area..."

"Mr. Sun," Master Shao interrupted Sun Xue, his eyes full of disdain. "I've built more houses than those foreigners have ever seen. The foundation of the municipal investment company is built through real work, not through fancy packaging!"

"Master Shao, the restoration technology of the Kramer team uses the most advanced technology currently available, while we are still stuck in the past decade. Shouldn't we learn from them?"

Master Shao stubbornly said, "What kind of technology is this? I don't think it's useful. Isn't repairing this technology just done bit by bit by hand? You have no experience in this area, so all you say is just empty talk."

At this moment, Pei Shaojie called and said anxiously:

"Boss Sun, this is bad! Boss Zhang and a group of veterans are protesting in front of the office building!"

"I know, I'll be there right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Sun Xue rushed to the scene. When she arrived at the scene, she frowned.

The scene was bustling with activity. Zhang Jianguo, along with dozens of veteran workers, held up banners that read "Protect the tradition of urban investment and oppose blind reform," attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

Seeing Sun Xue's appearance, Zhang Jianguo said angrily:

"Mr. Sun, you keep saying you want to revitalize the city investment sector, but in reality you're denying all of its traditions."

Zhang Jianguo was furious. "Why are you using foreign methods to reform us? Our masters are all top-notch, but in your eyes, their accumulated experience is worthless!"

Sun Xue was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

This is nonsense. When has she ever denied the value of municipal investments?

On the contrary, it was because she was impressed by the craftsmanship of the master craftsmen that she decided to acquire the company.

She then realized that the communication barrier between her and Mr. Zhang was like an invisible wall, separating the new and the old.

She decided not to show mercy to Mr. Zhang's men anymore. As a senior executive of the company, he was the one who always took the lead in causing trouble.

"Mr. Zhang, you've incited everyone to cause trouble and repeatedly hindered my work. You're not qualified for the position of Vice President. Report to Human Resources first. As for which position you'll be transferred to, we'll discuss it later."

Zhang Jianguo's expression changed instantly, and he argued, "Why did you fire me? You're just using public power to take revenge on me!"

"Why do you say that? Because I'm the chairman of the municipal investment company!"
