Chapter 1627: Borrowing Personnel
Last time, Xu Ke borrowed people from the nearest subsidiary, and those people still haven’t been returned, so naturally, he can’t ask that company again.
Although he is the CEO, there still needs to be a limit to his actions.
Moreover, he has just taken office, and the people below him are still not settled, so no mistakes can occur at this time.
Opening the computer, Xu Ke began to examine the surroundings of the company.
Soon, he set his sights on a development zone in the capital city.
The distance to the developer is not far, about two to three hours by car.
The Xu Group also has a subsidiary company in this development zone, and according to the financial reports from the group, it has been developing quite well in the past two years.
They mainly handle businesses like chemical raw materials and construction materials, after all, the development zone currently lacks these things, with all the buildings and such still under construction.
Xu Ke quickly found out the head of the subsidiary company in the development zone, a northerner named Xiao Wang.
According to the records, Xiao Wang has been in the capital city for more than ten years. He used to work with the old master Xu at the headquarters, and later, he was probably assigned to the development zone because they needed people there.
Xiao Wang can be said to be a talented person; this company in the development zone has not even been around for five years and has already developed into the leading enterprise in the area.
Of course, this is inseparable from the support of the headquarters, but it also indirectly indicates Xiao Wang’s exceptional abilities.
Recently, there hasn’t been any large-scale business in the development zone, so Xu Ke thought of transferring a few people from there.
He found Xiao Wang’s phone number on the computer and immediately called him.
At this time, in the development zone’s subsidiary, Xiao Wang was busy checking the inventory.
Suddenly receiving a call from an unfamiliar number, he originally didn’t want to answer. But seeing that the number was special, he picked up.
"Is this Xiao Wang from the Xu Group’s development zone subsidiary?" Xu Ke went straight to the point.
"Yes, this is Xiao Wang, may I ask who you are?"
Xiao Wang didn’t know who was calling, as he usually receives at least ten calls a day.
"I’m Xu Ke, you must have heard of my name. I’ve just taken office, and I’m not too familiar with the company’s situation yet."
Hearing the name Xu Ke, Xiao Wang was stunned on the spot.
He already heard about the matters at the headquarters from the subsidiary.
Meanwhile, he was thankful that the old master Xu assigned him to the subsidiary back then.
Otherwise, he might have ended up in a pitiful situation like Zhang Qiang and Li Dong, members of the board of directors.
Although Xiao Wang believed he wouldn’t embezzle money, one can never be sure of people’s hearts. If he suddenly got greedy, he might face a worse fate.
The new CEO called him; Xiao Wang cautiously began to worry about saying something wrong and offending the other party.
"Oh, it’s CEO Xu. I apologize, you’ve taken office, and I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you yet; it’s my oversight."
"No worries, I called because there’s something I need you to handle."
Xu Ke didn’t want to waste words; he just wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
He was already tired of the flattery from his subordinates.
Hearing that Xu Ke had something to ask of him, Xiao Wang immediately perked up.
Since arriving at the subsidiary, the old master Xu rarely gave him orders.
The company’s operations were primarily handled by Xiao Wang alone, unless it required a decision, he’d consult the headquarters.
Otherwise, most of the time, this subsidiary in the development zone operated independently.
Now the new CEO needed him right after taking office, which was like a great opportunity that fell from the sky.
If he did an excellent job, he could leave a good impression on the new CEO.
Although Xiao Wang knew that, at his age, reaching this position was not easy, and moving further up was almost impossible.
But if one doesn’t have dreams, how is that different from a salted fish?
Xiao Wang still hoped that someday he could climb higher, just to make his life worthwhile.
"CEO Xu, feel free to instruct me, whatever I can do, I will, regardless of the difficulty."
"It’s not that serious, it’s just that after taking office, we’ve been a bit short-staffed at headquarters. Plus, many companies are collaborating with us recently, so the finance department is a bit tight. I’ve noticed your side hasn’t had any large orders recently, so I was thinking to transfer 20 people from your side to help at headquarters for a while. After this period, they can return."
What Xiao Wang thought was an important task turned out to be something simple, something he could easily handle.
Their subsidiary really didn’t have any significant business currently, and this period was relatively relaxed for everyone.
Since the headquarters needed their help, Xiao Wang, as the leader of the subsidiary, felt it was his responsibility.
"CEO Xu, rest assured, I will immediately arrange for the staff to report to headquarters."
Xu Ke was quite pleased with Xiao Wang’s response.
He liked having efficient subordinates who wouldn’t haggle and could quickly get things done.
"Once you’ve contacted the people, have them come to headquarters immediately. I’ll arrange for someone to meet them, they can just mention my name."
After saying that, Xu Ke hung up the phone.
This matter was finally temporarily resolved; once this period passed, the company would be on track.
Honestly, ever since taking over the company, Xu Ke hadn’t even noticed the passage of time due to being so busy.
Just then, he suddenly received a call from Xiao Keyi.
Seeing the name Xiao Keyi, Xu Ke suddenly felt a chill.
He wondered if the old master had talked about anything upon his return. He wasn’t sure if Keyi was aware of Dongfang Yanran’s existence now.
Xu Ke gingerly picked up the call, unsure of how to explain to Xiao Keyi.
"Xu Ke, the banquet ended, why didn’t you come back with Grandpa?"
Xiao Keyi had been waiting at home for Xu Ke, but seeing he hadn’t returned, she decided to call and ask.
"There were some issues at the company, so I temporarily had to work overtime. I’m not sure if I can come back tonight."
Hearing this, Xiao Keyi felt quite disappointed.
But knowing that Xu Ke was busy with work, she didn’t feel it was right to complain.
"If that’s the case, focus on your work. I just met a new girlfriend, I’ll stay with her tonight."
