But if Lin Yi didn't take over himself, Xinyan and xiaotao couldn't do it either. They were also outsiders, and they had to go back to the Morning Star Academy as soon as possible. They couldn't stay outside for long.
"Honest Chai, in the following period of time, how about you help me take care of the Jade arc branch?" Lin Yi suggested.
Rather than forcing himself to rush into it, he might as well hand it over to this professional. Other things aside, at least he had already seen this guy's ability to record accounts. Moreover, he was the Deputy shopkeeper, and had even provided evidence against Wei Zhaotong. It was only logical for him to come and help.
"Re ... Really?" Hearing this, honest Chai was overjoyed and hurriedly said,""Thank you for your trust, Vice President. I will do my best to pacify the branch and ensure that there will be no chaos."
"Hehe, it's all up to you then." Lin Yi smiled faintly.
"Yes!" Honest Chai nodded heavily-it was no wonder he was so excited. No matter what, Lin Yi was an outsider, and an outsider at that. Managing the branch was like taking over the manager's position-it was a rare opportunity.
Elder Chai had been in the position of vice manager for many years. He had always been cautious and never made any mistakes. However, he was still far from being the manager of the branch.
The reason was simple. To become a branch shopkeeper, one had to have outstanding achievements, and the other had to have a strong backing in the headquarters in Nakajima. Neither could be dispelled, and Wei Zhaotong was a typical example. On the other hand, honest Chai had neither of these two things.
However, now the opportunity had finally come. Everyone knew that once he could take the position of the acting manager, it meant that he was not far from the position of the real manager!
If everything went smoothly, he could prove Wei Zhaotong's innocence and help Lin Yi manage the black arc branch. This was already a great achievement in itself. If he could use this opportunity to get Lin Yi and Hong Zhong's recognition, then he would have a strong backing. The two unattainable conditions would be fulfilled instantly, and the branch manager position would be far away.
Honest Chai wasn't an idiot-he quickly got into the mood and went out to help calm the people down, leaving Lin Yi alone in the living room. The guy was still acting like a yes-man just a moment ago, why did he change into a different person all of a sudden?
"I hope this fellow can be revived." Lin Yi scratched his head and mumbled to himself before following him out. If honest Chai wasn't helpful, it would be troublesome to take over the branch.
"How is it?" Wang Xinyan and Huang xiaotao saw Lin Yi coming out and quickly asked.
"Everything is going well. Now, it's up to this guy to take charge of the situation." Lin Yi pointed at honest Chai.
"Hehe, this kind of yes-man coward. If he can take charge of the situation, the sun will rise from the west!" Wei Zhaotong, who was tied up at the side, sneered when he heard this.
At this moment, honest Chai was gathering his momentum, preparing to say something to the crowd. In the end, after Wei Zhaotong's malicious ridicule, he instantly lost his momentum and began to cower like before.
After all, he was a timid and honest man. After being bullied by Wei Zhaotong for so many years, there was a shadow in honest Chai's heart. Even if he had provided Lin Yi with evidence in private, it was all forced out. It was really hard for him to go against Wei Zhaotong in person.
In these few years, although Wei Zhaotong hadn't completely taken control of the black arc branch, he was already close to it. Not only honest Chai, the Vice President, who had been completely stripped of his power, but the others didn't dare to oppose him at all. Just like what he said now, everyone's eyes immediately became subtle.
"No matter where the sun rises, you won't be able to see it!" Wei Zhaotong was still gloating when Lin Yi walked over and slapped him unconscious, "You're already half a step into the coffin, yet you still have so much nonsense to say!"
Looking at Wei Zhaotong's half-dead appearance with his neck tilted and white foam coming out of his mouth, everyone's expression changed again, and they unconsciously shrank their necks. This person was too F * cking cruel. Wei Zhaotong was already lucky that he wasn't slapped to death by him ...
"From today onwards, honest Chai will be in charge of everything in the Ming Luo branch. If anyone wants to cause trouble, I don't mind moving my hands and feet. Do you all hear me?" Lin Yi said to the crowd.
With a living example of what happened before them, how could everyone dare to say no? they immediately nodded their heads in agreement.
In the eyes of these normal workers and manservants, no matter if it was Lin Yi or Wei Zhaotong, they were all high and mighty gods, while they were just mortals. It was gods "business to fight, and mortals like them only needed to follow the orders of the winner.
"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you." Lin Yi gave a look to honest Chai-this was all he could do to intimidate everyone, and the rest was up to honest Chai's ability.
Honest Chai nodded his head gratefully and immediately turned to everyone, starting to arrange their work for tomorrow.
Lin Yi had been worried that the guy wouldn't be able to convince the crowd with just his skill at accounting-he was a coward, after all, and didn't have the aura of a leader at all. The people might just be disobedient, and become a hopeless case.
However, Lin Yi quickly realized that he was wrong. Honest Chai indeed didn't have an intimidating aura, but he had a different style of doing things. He was organized and logical, and no matter who he assigned a task to, no one could find fault with it. He also made people feel like they were in an important position, and they were willing to submit.
There were over a hundred people present, and none of them frowned. They all accepted it happily, and Lin Yi didn't just have a whole new level of respect for honest Chai. This was a brilliant management style that no one else could learn!
After honest Chai had settled everyone down and told them to go back to rest, Lin Yi couldn't help but ask,""I was worried that you wouldn't be able to control the situation. I didn't expect you to be so good at managing people. It's a big loss for the Hong Chamber of Commerce that a person of your level isn't the branch manager."
"Vice President, you're too kind. It's actually nothing. I've been the branch's Deputy Manager for more than ten years, so I know all of these things clearly. I've personally done many of them, so I know what kind of people are suitable for what kind of work. In the past, I often assigned tasks to everyone, but ever since Wei Zhaotong was parachuted in, I haven't done it again." Honest Chai smiled bitterly. (To be continued.)
