Heart Stealer

It has been more than two months since Murong Zhenxi took over the position of president of Qiu Group, and the employees in the company have all felt a tense atmosphere.

It was as if a thick haze covered every corner.

The lights in the president's office on the top floor were a little dim.

Murong Zhenxi was sitting at the desk that was spacious enough to accommodate several people.

His face was as gloomy as water, and he stared at the densely packed layoff list in his hand expressionlessly.

His eyes were cold and firm, as if what he saw through the list were not living people, but groups of emotionless data.

In his deep eyes, these employees who were about to be laid off seemed to be just numbers that could be discarded at will.

At the layoff meeting, Murong Zhenxi walked up to the podium with steady and powerful steps.

He stood tall and straight, dressed in a suit and tie, but his face showed no warmth at all.

He said in an extremely cold, almost ruthless tone: "The company's employees are old and can't keep up with the times. We need to give young people more opportunities."

His words blew through everyone's heart like a cold wind, making people feel a chill.

When the news of layoffs came out, the whole company was thrown into chaos.

The employees were talking and worrying about their future.

Some people were quietly packing their things in the office, while others were anxiously waiting for the results in the conference room.

There was a tense atmosphere in the company's corridors, and everyone's face was filled with uneasiness and anxiety.

Some people asked around for news of layoffs, trying to understand their own fate.

Some people cried silently in the corner, not knowing how to face the future.

After streamlining some of the staff, Murong Zhenxi was still not satisfied.

His axe of layoffs was swung again, and this round of layoffs was directed at employees with relatively low educational levels.

As the news came out, more people fell into panic.

Many people began to doubt their abilities and worried whether they could adapt to the company's reforms.

In Murong Zhenxi's office, the phone kept ringing, and his assistant kept reporting to him on the latest situation of the company.

Murong Zhenxi's expression remained indifferent. He had only one goal in mind, which was to realize the company's rejuvenation reform.

In this tense atmosphere where people are worried about their future and are in a state of panic, many people choose to resign voluntarily in order to protect themselves.

They would rather lose their jobs than continue to stay in such an environment.

The company's headcount dropped dramatically, and the atmosphere throughout the company became more tense.

Although Murong Zhenxi's layoff plan encountered layers of resistance, it did not shake his determination to lay off employees.

Murong Zhenxi did not stop his reform efforts.

He knows very well that further efforts are needed to truly rejuvenate the company.

Murong Zhenxi began to recruit a group of young and promising talents.

He personally participates in interviews to select candidates with innovative spirit and potential.

At the same time, he also made in-depth adjustments to the company's internal management.

Some cumbersome rules and regulations have been abolished, and employees are encouraged to actively put forward opinions and suggestions.

Thanks to Murong Zhenxi's efforts, the company gradually regained new vitality.

The Qiu Group became a leader in the industry, and Murong Zhenxi's name became synonymous with success.

But he never forgot his original intention and continued to lead the company forward.

After completing the company's layoffs, Murong Zhenxi began to prepare for his next large-scale plan with great confidence - to enter the automotive industry.

Murong Zhenxi held a thick stack of business plans in his hands and placed them in front of Qiu Rongyao. His face was filled with confidence and excitement, as if he had already seen the glory of the future.

"Dad," Murong Zhenxi said in a loud and powerful voice, "After in-depth investigation and research, I believe that the current new energy vehicle market is not yet fully saturated. Moreover, automobile companies have high technological content and rich profit returns. Compared with working in the catering and hotel industry, it is more sensible."

His words echoed in front of Qiu Rongyao, but Qiu Rongyao just frowned slightly and said nothing.

Murong Zhenxi couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw this. He hurriedly continued, "Dad, don't limit yourself to the catering and hotel industry just because our company has always been engaged in it. We must also keep pace with the times, seize opportunities, and explore new markets."

Qiu Rongyao listened to Murong Zhenxi patiently, was silent for a moment, then picked up the plan, flipped through two pages, and then put it back on the table.

He sighed heavily and said, "Zhenxi, your plan is very visionary, but our company is mainly engaged in the catering and hotel service industries. As the saying goes, different industries are like different mountains. In my opinion, the time is not yet ripe to enter the automotive industry. Let's hold off for now."

After hearing what Qiu Rongyao said, Murong Zhenxi's face instantly became disappointed and unwilling.

He suddenly felt a sense of powerless frustration, as if all his efforts were in vain.

He advised earnestly, "Dad, your idea is too conservative! Nowadays, many companies are actively promoting the transformation and upgrading of their own industries, scrambling to get a share of the huge potential in the automotive and energy markets.

We should also take a longer-term view. If we don’t get involved in the automotive industry and make relevant investments early, we might not even get a sip of the market once it’s completely saturated.”

No matter how much Murong Zhenxi talked, his mouth was dry and his tongue was parched.

Qiu Rongyao didn't seem to be convinced, and his face remained calm and rational.

He looked at Murong Zhenxi and said slowly, "Zhenxi, I understand your perspective, but we can't blindly follow trends, and we certainly can't make wrong decisions because of a momentary impulse. We need to formulate strategies based on our actual situation and market environment."

Murong Zhenxi felt very frustrated and disappointed after hearing what Qiu Rongyao said.

He understood that his father-in-law was a very experienced and wise man, but he also firmly believed in his own judgment and decision-making.

He was determined to convince his father to accept his plan no matter what.

Murong Zhenxi took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said slowly,

"Dad, I understand your concerns. But I believe that as long as we make adequate preparations and plans, we can successfully enter the automotive industry."

A few days later, Murong Zhenxi handed Qiu Rongyao a more detailed market analysis report. "This is the market analysis I asked a professional team to do. Take a look."

Qiu Rongyao took the report and read it carefully.

Murong Zhenxi continued, "New energy vehicles are the trend of the future, and it's the perfect time for us to enter the market. Furthermore, we can leverage our existing resources and advantages to collaborate with other companies and jointly develop the market."

Qiu Rongyao's brows gradually relaxed, and he looked at Murong Zhenxi with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Well, Zhenxi, your plan is indeed very attractive. I will leave this project to you."

Murong Zhenxi was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Thank you for your support, Dad. I believe we can create even greater glory."
