Chapter 157: Not A Single Complaint


Translator: _Min_


Gu Zhi, not daring to refute Gu Dai, quickly nodded in agreement. “1 understand, it won’t happen again.”


Satisfied, Gu Dai nodded and said, “As long as you understand, let’s hope you don’t make the same mistake again. Also, you don’t need to go back to your place; you can stay in the villa. Uncle Wu will arrange your work from now on.” Confused, Gu Zhi asked, “Uncle Wu?”


Wu Zhen stepped forward and said, “That would be me.”


The color drained from Gu Zhi’s face upon seeing Wu Zhen. She hadn’t forgotten how she had mistreated him before, and now that she was in his hands, he surely wouldn’t let her off easy.


If Wu Zhen knew what Gu Zhi was thinking, he’d say she was overthinking it. Since resuming his role as the housekeeper, he’d been so busy with matters in the villa that he’d long forgotten how she’d mistreated him in the past.


Gu Dai turned to Gu Zhi and said, “You should know Uncle Wu; 1 don’t think introductions are necessary. You can go familiarize yourself with your new life under his guidance. 1 won’t need you to attend to me today.”


Reluctantly, Gu Zhi followed Wu Zhen, in order not to be sent to the country side. Every fiber of her being resented Gu Dai for her current life. As she left, she shot Gu Dai a surrept.i.tious glare.


Meng Zhi noticed Gu Zhi’s gaze and fumed, “Daidai, she dared to glare at you. You should put your plan into action sooner and teach her a lesson!”


Gu Dai nodded in acknowledgment, “1 understand, Third Brother. Don’t get angry; it’s not good for your health.”


Meng Zhi saw the fatigue on Gu Dai’s face and softly responded, “Alright, Daidai, you should rest early. If there’s anything you can’t handle in the company, just let me know.”


Gu Dai smiled, “Will do, Third Brother!”


Although Meng Zhi said this, he still had faith in Gu Dai’s capabilities. In just a few months since she took over, she had managed to turn around loss-making projects and put the Gu Group back on track.


Now, they had an increasing number of partnerships and successful projects; the entire company was bustling with activity.


Initially, when Gu Dai took over the company, many employees were skeptical of this young woman’s abilities. Now, having seen what she could do, they were utterly impressed.


They felt that Gu Dai was many times more capable than her predecessor, Gu Ming.


Especially with the recent jewelry project, where she had managed to get Su Ting as an amba.s.sador. The jewelry was being purchased globally, and sales were skyrocketing, far surpa.s.sing initial expectations.


Most importantly, the customers were dazzled by the actual product, which they found to be even more splendid than the pictures. The reviews were universally positive, not a single complaint.


Now, whenever the employees saw Gu Dai, they felt as if they were looking at a deity. After all, their salaries had more than tripled since the sales took off.


Every time Gu Dai entered the company, the staff would greet her enthusiastically.


Gu Dai returned each greeting with a smile, but gradually, she noticed an issue.


She called Zheng Ming into her office and asked, perplexed, “Why do all the employees have dark circles under their eyes? Is it because we have too many projects going on lately? If they can’t physically endure it, we should give them a few days off. Employee well-being is top priority.”


Zheng Ming chuckled, “It’s not because of the number of projects.”


Confused, Gu Dai looked up at him and then asked with even more bewilderment, “Why do you have dark circles too?”


Meeting Gu Dai’s gaze, Zheng Ming’s ears turned a shade redder as he evasively replied, “The tasks the company has given us are all within our capabilities. It’s just that these projects are so good that we don’t want to go home anymore.” Gu Dai hadn’t expected this reason. Frowning, she pondered for a few minutes before making a decision. “Everyone must go home after work, and the company’s doors must be locked.”


Shaking his head, Zheng Ming responded, “Ms. Gu, I don’t think that method will work. I’m afraid some employees might resort to picking locks or climbing over walls to get into the company.”


Gu Dai was at a loss for words.


After mulling it over for a while, she finally came up with another solution, “Let’s expand the company and build more rest areas within it. This would save time spent on commuting.”


Zheng Ming nodded, his eyes lighting up as he looked at Gu Dai, excitedly saying, “That’s a great solution, and you came up with it so quickly!”


Receiving Zheng Ming’s praise, Gu Dai didn’t lose her composure. She earnestly added, “If the employees voluntarily choose to work overtime, their overtime pay will be tripled based on their regular pay.. But those who don’t wish to work overtime should never be forced to do so!”
