Chapter 19 The company is a mess
She walked straight into the office area and looked around. The messy desktop was filled with manuscript papers and scrap fabrics. There was nowhere to go.
Shi Yue finally understood why Mr. Shi became like this.
The receptionist rushed in and said awkwardly: "Ms. Shi, I'm really sorry. Recently, everyone has been busy designing the new season's cheongsam and has no time to tidy up the office area. I will ask them to come over and tidy up right away."
Shi Yue picked up a design draft at his feet and looked at the date on it. They were all from three months ago.
She waved the design draft in front of the front desk: "Is it just this time, or should I say, it has always been like this."
The receptionist was speechless for a moment and lowered his head in shame.
Shi Yue put the design draft on a table and asked her: "Where is my office?"
Even though she was facing such a scene, her tone was calm, without any hint of anger.
The front desk clerk pointed to an empty office on the right: "This should be the office reserved for you."
"Thank you, please go back first."
Shi Yue found her seat and saw that this place must have been temporarily cleaned. The dust in the corners had not been cleaned yet.
But that's not important. What's important is how she wants to change everything.
She sat quietly in the office waiting for others to arrive.
Ye Xingxing knew that she was going to work in the company today, so she excitedly sent a message to express her condolences: "How does it feel on the first day at work? Is your aura explosive and decisive?"
Shi Yue couldn't help laughing: "I came to work, not to seek revenge. What kind of aura do I need?"
Seeing that she still had time to reply to his message, Ye Xingxing simply made a phone call: "You don't understand this. Anyone who goes to the company on the first day must give someone a warning, otherwise they won't be able to convince everyone."
What she said did make sense, but thinking about the scene outside, Shi Yue knew that it was not an easy matter to correct the company's atmosphere.
She sighed slightly: "Wake up, I have to do all this well. I don't want my mother's hard work to become like this."
Listening to her tone, Ye Xingxing also guessed what kind of mess Shi was in now.
"Just go ahead and do it boldly. No matter what, I will support you from behind," Ye Xingxing cheered her up.
"Come on, I'll treat you to dinner when you get off work in the evening!"
After hanging up the phone, it was almost time to go to work, and many employees came outside one after another.
As soon as everyone arrived at the company, they started talking about the new design director who joined today.
"I heard that she is Mr. Shi's eldest daughter. She must have come to the company for a temporary job. Otherwise, why hasn't she shown up yet?"
Some people laughed at her lack of information: "She is indeed Mr. Shi's daughter, and she is still the young lady of the Qiu family. She has married into a wealthy family, and I don't know why she comes to work."
After hearing these remarks, Shi Yue opened the door: "Since everyone is so curious about me, why don't you just come and ask me why I come to work."
She raised her voice slightly, but her tone was neither urgent nor slow enough for everyone to hear her words clearly.
Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound and immediately looked towards her.
Facing everyone's confused looks, Shi Yue smiled: "I am the newly appointed design director, Shi Yue. From now on, we will all be colleagues, so there is no need to be so rigid."
The wise people quickly applauded: "Welcome Director Shi." The applause rang out loudly and sparsely.
Shi Yue was not interested in these, and just smiled distantly: "Please clean up the entire office area. In an hour, bring this year's sales report and various data, and we will have a meeting."
While everyone was working hard to tidy up the office area, the property department had already sent the report.
Shi Yue briefly looked at the sales volume and frowned. This amount was not even comparable to Meng Meng's online store. No wonder Shi's business was getting more and more difficult.
"Sales have been declining one after another. Have you ever summarized the reasons?"
The people in the finance department looked troubled: "Director Shi, these are problems of the sales department and have little to do with us."
People from the sales department were also on the side. Shi Yue looked at him, but he was also shirking responsibility: "Our sales department has done everything we can, including activities and discounts, but the customers just don't buy, and there's nothing we can do."
These are just excuses.
In Shi Yue's view, there are big problems in the entire company, and if you want to rectify them, you have to cut through the mess quickly.
During the meeting, Shi Yue sat above, looking at the design draft for the next quarter that they handed over, frowning: "It's almost time to release the new quarter, do you think this kind of cheongsam can be shown to everyone?"
?"
Everyone lowered their heads, and some people murmured privately: "Isn't there still some time before the deadline?"
Shi Yue's eyes suddenly became cold and stern: "There is still time, but doesn't it take time for a cheongsam to go from design draft to pattern making and tailoring?"
She pushed the manuscript forward: "These styles are simply not good and need to be redesigned."
Before Shi Yue came to the company, the design team was dominated by Chen Wei, and most of the manuscripts Shi Yue rejected just now were her content.
She frowned and was the first to stand up and retort: "Director Shi, why do you say my design is not good? Do you know cheongsam design? This is different from ordinary clothing design."
Shi Yue was not angry, smiled slightly, and pointed out several problems with her design.
"Although your design is novel, there are many unreasonable things. The side slits are too low, which makes walking inconvenient, and the position of the shoulders. Although it looks good, you did not consider the cutting issue.
"
Seeing Chen Wei speechless, Shi Yue stood up: "I don't mean to target anyone. Although Shi's business is not good now, we can't just use these things to make up for it."
She stared at Chen Wei closely: "If you have any dissatisfaction, you are welcome to raise it at any time."
Chen Wei was so angry that her face turned red, but Shi Yue happened to be her boss, so she could only swallow her anger and sit back.
After a busy day, Shi Yue felt aching in her waist and back. Most people outside had left, but there were still a lot of unread reports on her desk.
Ye Xingxing had long been impatient, and the urging calls came over and over again.
"Yueyue, do you want to be a strong woman on your first day at work? I have already reserved a restaurant, and the food will be cold if you don't come!"
Afraid that she would wait too long, Shi Yue could only put her work aside and ask the driver to take her to the restaurant first.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Ye Xingxing waving to him happily.
"Yueyue, I'm here!"
Shi Yue walked towards her. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't muster the energy: "The company is a mess. I haven't sorted it out after a busy day. I guess I won't have any free time in the future."
