President's Office.

Yana just received an email from Mina, which was a list of nominations for team leaders.

This is a small matter that the president should not be involved in. But who asked Sales Manager Mina to have a good relationship with General Manager Yana?

Yana opened the Word document with great interest and saw detailed descriptions listed one after another. After counting, she found that a total of ten people were selected.

Ever since the insider incident involving Director Brant and Lena in the sales department, Yana could not help but blame herself for focusing too much on the company's development while neglecting internal personnel, allowing other companies to exploit the loopholes. Moreover, in this situation, "Shigella" Company had no contractual constraints and could not constitute a commercial crime, so it could only punish the insider.

She did not know how many people within the company were betraying it. The insider incident made her reevaluate the company and reminded her of an old friend who was a colleague from afar.

Long Dongqiang, a leading logistics entrepreneur in Suqian City, once said that he deeply detests acts of corruption. Even if they are not public servants, internal corruption makes him feel ashamed. If he catches someone taking kickbacks or embezzling to harm the company, he will invest more effort and money to investigate them and send them to jail as much as possible, even if the other party has only embezzled 1 dollar?

Ten?

Hundreds?

Even if it costs thousands of times more, he must use practical actions to tell other employees that corruption is shameful and illegal, and they must never cross the company's red line.

Yana was slightly stunned. To this day, Long Dongqiang's speech remained vivid in her mind. It seemed necessary to take measures to rectify the company.

Just casually scanning the entire document, the employees' detailed performance, ability characteristics, personal strengths, and weaknesses were all visible at a glance. This was one of the reasons why Mina was able to gain a foothold in the sales department without relying on Mr. Astoria's connections.

Focus, carefulness, and seriousness toward work are seemingly simple qualities, but most people do not necessarily possess them.

Jake's great achievements are naturally dazzling. In the more than three months since he came to Shigella, the performance appraisals he completed are equivalent to what others achieve in a year.

Yana smiled faintly. Jake had given her many unexpected surprises. She had been too narrow-minded before.

However, Jake is not necessarily a sure winner. Even though Mina secretly has feelings for Jake and sincerely hopes he can be promoted, it still has to be relatively fair. The insider incident led to large-scale layoffs in the sales department, including two team leaders who were laid off. Aside from being relatives of Director Brant, their business level was still acceptable.

All the employees mentioned by Mina are excellent talents, but Jake's brilliance is too dazzling, so dazzling that Mina once suspected that Jake had some kind of system, otherwise everything would be too smooth.

After browsing all the sales information, Yana opened the drawing software and circled Jake and another girl. There was no doubt that these two had reached the level of team leader. The girl was a veteran employee with sufficient qualifications. Jake, however, seemed to have gotten in through the back door.

But the merits outweigh the flaws. If Yana were really so old-fashioned and dull, "Shigella" would not have flourished and grown to this size under her leadership.

After finishing a task, Yana gently pressed her temples, her thoughts drifting to her son Enes. "Oh, if only Enes could be like Jake. A hundred years from now, if things continue like this, I'm afraid Shigella won't be able to hold on and will eventually become a downstream product of the Astoria family."

…

Mina was waiting at home with great anticipation for Sister Yana to send her the final result. Promoting employees was originally a rather troublesome matter, requiring submission and inspection at various levels until the management personnel changed and the promoted leader signed and stamped the report.

It's normal in a big company, but with Sister Yana as the backdoor, it's different. Personnel transfers, promotions, and salary increases are just a matter of a word from the president. The board of directors generally won't interfere with any changes that are not too extreme, as long as it doesn't affect their own interests.

Don't look at Mina's young age, she owns the original shares of "Shigella". Although it's not much, only 0.2%. Don't underestimate this 0.2. Think about it, the market value of "Shigella" is as high as billions of US dollars. Just convert it and you will know how much wealth Mina has.

But this was also earned by Mina through hard work. There is no free lunch in the world. At least in the sales department, the income that Mina can bring to herself is far higher than the value of her shares.

"Ding, new email received."

Mina immediately became alert when she saw a new message in her mailbox. She opened it quickly and saw Jake was selected in a red circle. She knew that the matter was basically settled. Soon Sister Yana would send this email directly to the subordinate management and just stamp it with the official seal.

"Hmph, let's see how you thank me." The pretty pink face could not hide the joy in her heart, but it was too early to inform Jake now.

She didn't know if Jake was criticized during the meeting. After all, Sister Yana is not an easy person to get along with. In her eyes, people without ability are useless.

After thinking it over, she decided to wait a little longer. If she took the initiative to invite him out, all her efforts would be wasted.

Mina thought so.

On the other hand, Jake and others really treated everyone to a meal after get off work.

There were no outsiders, only Cabel, Lily and Jake. In fact, Jake also called Dora, but she refused. He guessed she was following Sister Mina and looked down on Jake's group.

The three of them had a great time drinking in a mid-range restaurant.

Cabel was the first to be affected, speaking in his hometown dialect, which Jake and Lily could not understand.

"Jake, you know, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, Lily wouldn't be dating me." Cabel was a little drunk, holding up an empty wine glass and talking nonsense.

Lily's face was pouting. While pulling Cabel to stop him from getting drunk, she shyly explained, "Jake, I'm sorry, he drank too much."

"No need to explain, I understand!" Jake is an experienced person.

When they first joined "Shigella", Jake was very optimistic about the two of them, but he didn't expect that Lily would actually be won over by Cabel.

"Lily, listen to me. Brother Cabel is a pretty good guy. He might talk a lot, but he's still pretty reliable." Jake took the initiative to clink glasses with Lily. "Also, thank you for your help along the way."

"Jake, I'm grateful to you. I haven't achieved much since I was a child. Since you joined our team, not only has my bonus increased several times, but I've also found love. Compared to the little help I gave you, it's nothing."

"No, kindness is not big or small. You and Brother Cabel are both very good people. I am honored to be your friends."

"Me too."

"Think about it, if Lena hadn't been so ignorant of herself and so greedy for enjoyment and money, how could she have ended up with such a tragic end?" Jake sighed.

"Indeed, it's a pity for Sister Lena."

"Come on, cheers, I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want." Cabel was drunk again, and his loud voice attracted the attention of guests at other tables.

Lily bowed apologetically to everyone around her. Her caring appearance as a young daughter-in-law made Jake feel deeply moved. It seemed that these good women all had the prototype of being good wives and mothers.

Suddenly he thought of Sister Mina, the only woman Jake couldn't let go.

He poured himself a few drinks, his heart, numbed by alcohol, magnified infinitely, "Sister Mina, what are you doing now?"

Lily pushed Cabel onto the chair and forced him to stop moving. Seeing Jake's thoughtful expression, she suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Jake, you've been nominated as the team leader."

"What?" Jake thought it hadn't started yet. "Where did you see that?"

"I went to Supervisor Mina's office for some work after returning from vacation, but it seemed that Supervisor Mina was not there during this period. Your team leader nomination documents were placed on Supervisor Mina's desk. I can't remember the date, but it seemed to be before National Day." Lily recalled.

"Sister Mina, you..." As Lily explained, Jake felt more and more guilty. He thought that Sister Mina was hiding from him because her confession failed and her position as team leader was also a failure. He didn't expect that she had already done it.
