 Chapter 44: The Overall Atmosphere is Very Slack

"No need, I'll just wander around," Ou Yan glanced at the floor distribution map in the elevator and casually pressed the button for the second floor, the design department.

Early in the morning, there weren't many people in the design department. Some were playing with their phones, others were catching up on sleep, and the atmosphere was extremely lax.

When the receptionist led Ou Yan in, she even knocked on the door intentionally.

But when the people in the design department saw that she had brought in a high school-aged girl, they thought she was a family member and didn't pay much attention.

"Nana, did you bring a family member to work today?" a slightly chubby woman smiled and said, "Come play a few rounds!'

The receptionist Nana quickly gestured to her with her eyes to stop talking nonsense.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

The slightly chubby woman didn't notice anything unusual, but Ou Yan walked over and noticed her playing cards on the computer lazily. She casually reminded her, "You're about to lose."

The slightly chubby woman was stunned. How could this little girl know this?

"Play the spade nine first."

The slightly chubby woman listened to her and clicked on the 9 with the mouse.

"Heart six."

"Diamond three."

"Spade five."

Under Ouyan's instructions, it didn't take long for the slightly chubby woman to turn the tables.

"Wow, you're amazing! How old are you?" The slightly chubby woman patted Ouyan's shoulder, "Help me win a few more rounds? I'll give you ten bucks to buy candy!"

"This is the head of the company sent by the headquarters, Miss Ou Yan!" the receptionist cleared her throat, "It's time to work and design, don't fool around."

The slightly chubby woman looked at the high school-aged girl in front of her, her mouth could fit two eggs! Her? The head of the company sent by the headquarters? Is she even a high school graduate yet? Could it be that she's someone's mistress or something, sent here to torment them?

Others also seemed puzzled by Ou Yan's age. Could someone like her manage a company?

"With your style of play, it's impossible to win in three to five months," Ou Yan patted the slightly chubby woman's shoulder, "Work hard and earn more money."

As Ou Yan was about to leave the design department, her gaze inadvertently noticed a girl wearing headphones in the corner, facing away from them, drawing something on a piece of paper.

She walked over and saw the girl sketching a small dress on a blank piece of paper. The dress seemed ordinary, but the thick stack of drawings next to it proved her dedication.

"This is our most hardworking and progressive designer, Yan Panpan," Nana, the receptionist, said, gently touching Yan Panpan's shoulder.

Yan Panpan took off her headphones and looked at the two unexpected guests with some confusion, but still politely asked, "Is there something I can help you with?"

The office was too noisy just now, so she wore headphones to draw and didn't know what had happened.

"This is Miss Ou Yan, the head of our company," Nana whispered, "You should say hello."

Yan Panpan looked at Ou Yan and immediately stood up, timid yet respectful, and said, "Good morning, Miss Ou Yan."

"Are these all your designs?" Ou Yan's gaze fell on the stack of drawings.

"Yes..." Yan Panpan hurriedly handed the drawings to Ou Yan.

"Yan Panpan graduated from college at the age of eighteen and was a top student at school! She loves fashion design and has produced many works for the company since she joined last month."

"Not bad." Ou Yan returned the drawings to her, "Keep up the good work."

"Thank you, Miss Ou Yan..." Yan Panpan watched the girl leave and couldn't believe that someone her age had become the head of the company! She must be very capable!

After touring the company, Ou Yan found that the overall atmosphere was extremely slack. Before coming to this company, the combined laxity of all the companies she held was not even one percent of what she saw here!

It was truly in a state of extreme laxity, without any vitality.

Back in the office, as soon as Ou Yan sat down, her assistant, He Ning, who was late, barged in.

"Sorry, I'm late. Huh? Where's the company head? Wasn't she supposed to be here today? Little girl, have you seen the company head? Hurry up and get up, this seat can't be taken!"

He Ning said a bunch of things, realizing that the girl in front of her raised her eyebrows, that indifferent and dominating aura made her feel her scalp tingle.

"You... you're not..."

"Ou Yan."

"Ou, Miss Ou Yan..." He Ning hurried forward, scared out of her wits.

With her stuttering explanation, Ou Yan roughly understood.

A year ago, the Li family ventured into the clothing industry and hired many talents, some good at management, some good at design.

The headquarters even sent a head, Hu Linqian, to take charge.

However, as time went on, the company didn't make any progress.

Perhaps disappointed with the company, many talented individuals left one after another.

From initial expectations to eventual neglect, the overall atmosphere of the company was very slack.

He Ning had been here for a year, and although she was anxious, she didn't have enough power to change the situation.

"Call a meeting. Half an hour later, I want to see every department head and company management present."

"Yes..." He Ning hurried to send out the notification.

Half an hour later.

In the meeting room, there were supposed to be thirty-eight chairs filled, but at the moment, only nine people had arrived.

"The finance department head said her child is sick today, so she's taking a leave to take her child to the hospital."

"The procurement department head said he's feeling unwell and is resting at home."

"The human resources department head said..."

Before He Ning could finish her words, Ouyan casually interrupted, "Tell them, if they don't show up tomorrow, they don't need to come anymore."

Upon hearing her bold statement, those who came to the meeting thought she was trying to assert her authority deliberately.

"Now that I'm here, it means you either bid farewell to the past slackness or bid farewell to the company."

Everyone looked up, unaware that Ou Yan managed her own company much more strictly than this. If there were any employees slacking off, she would have fired them long ago.

"Now, who will tell me about the current situation of the company, the achievements we've made so far, and the future direction of development?" Ou Yan's gaze swept across everyone.

No one stepped forward to speak.

"I'll ask again." Ou Yan repeated her words, but the response was the same, no one answered.

Without needing to think, the company was currently like this, making no progress, and there was no development plan for the future...

At this moment, a voice spoke up.

"Miss Ou Yan."

The head of the design department, Yin Hao, stood up, "We also hope that the company will grow stronger day by day, but we don't know where the problem lies. Clearly, all departments are cooperating well, but the company is still stagnant!"

"Oh?"

"Also, I believe that the things our department designs are very good, but for some reason, they just don't sell..."

Ou Yan: ??

"For example, last month, our department's Yan Panpan designed ten summer dresses. We even had a meeting to discuss it. The styles were good, the actual products looked great, but no one was interested! Our aesthetics are not a problem either. If you don't believe me, I can show them to you."
