Chapter 181 Reversing the Mentality

After reading the entire article, Qi Yan was filled with a mix of emotions.

After seeing the previous article, Qi Yan had thought that the changes in Glazed Tile Lady stemmed solely from the difference in ability between Meng Chang and Boss Pei.

Meng Chang emphasized marketing and neglected practical work, which led to his failure. Boss Pei, on the other hand, respected talent and was down-to-earth in whatever industry he entered, which allowed him to achieve continuous success.

In other words, Qi Yan had always thought that Meng Chang's problem was his ability, not his attitude.

But after reading this article, Qi Yan realized that Meng Chang had never intended to run Glazed Tile Lady well in the first place.

All of Meng Chang's flattering words were just lip service, meant only to fetch a good price. He never intended to do what he said he would.

If Boss Pei hadn't intervened, what would have been the fate of Glazed Tile Lady?

Perhaps Meng Chang would have successfully cashed out, reaping both fame and fortune. Glazed Tile Lady would have been sold to a large group like Quanmin Dianping, downsized due to losses, and the employees would have worked for Meng Chang for a few months before having to leave Glazed Tile Lady to find new jobs...

But now, because of Boss Pei's decisive action, all of this had been changed!

The failure of Glazed Tile Lady was entirely Meng Chang's fault. And after Boss Pei took over, Glazed Tile Lady was bound to have a brighter future!

Thinking of this, Qi Yan shared the article in the Glazed Tile Lady work group, then stood up and clapped her hands lightly to attract everyone's attention.

"Please put aside your work for a moment and listen to me."

"I know that the company has been through some turmoil recently. Many people aren't clear on what exactly happened, don't know what they should be doing, and feel lost about the company's future development."

"Everyone can take a few minutes to read these three articles by this author. I believe you'll find the answers."

The other Glazed Tile Lady employees still looked bewildered, a little unsure of what Qi Yan meant by posting these articles, but they obediently clicked on them to read.

Qi Yan knew that the employees of Glazed Tile Lady were basically in a state of "hangover" from Meng Chang's motivational tactics.

Meng Chang was too good at drawing up grand plans and injecting enthusiasm. Previously, all the employees had felt that the company's prospects were excellent, and they were all working at full capacity. But now that Glazed Tile Lady had encountered problems and Meng Chang had abandoned them, all the employees felt like they had been deceived and naturally lacked energy.

Therefore, Qi Yan felt that all the employees' mindsets needed to be "destroyed and then rebuilt."

Meng Chang was indeed the previous boss of Glazed Tile Lady, but now he had washed his hands of it. Only by completely negating Meng Chang's management philosophy could everyone's thoughts be unified and Glazed Tile Lady reborn.

These articles directly revealed the cruel truth of Glazed Tile Lady. The details were detailed, easy to understand, and perfect for use as "teaching materials."

Come to think of it, it was a bit absurd that the internal employees of Glazed Tile Lady had to read outside articles to understand what was happening in their own company, but this was normal. After all, many people, including Qi Yan, had been kept in the dark by Meng Chang.

They were called "internal employees," but had any of these people ever really been treated as one of his own by Meng Chang?

The expressions on everyone's faces changed from confusion to bewilderment, then to shock and anger, and finally to relief.

In fact, many of the older employees still harbored illusions about Meng Chang.

After all, Meng Chang was generous, good at drawing up grand plans, and had a lot of personal charm. In many people's minds, he was the image of a perfect boss. Even during the period when Glazed Tile Lady was facing bankruptcy, many employees still unconditionally believed that Meng Chang would come back to save the company.

However, after reading these three articles, the image of Meng Chang in their hearts collapsed.

This wasn't a perfect boss at all, it was all an act!

Why was Meng Chang so generous and so good to his employees? Because he never intended to run Glazed Tile Lady for the long term. He only wanted to raise the valuation and run away with the money. Since he was making quick money, of course he was good to his employees, because there was no need to exploit them at all!

But in addition to being angry, these people were also very relieved.

Fortunately, Boss Pei intervened, preventing Meng Chang's plans from succeeding!

Now that Glazed Tile Lady was in Boss Pei's hands, Boss Pei was obviously going to make sweeping reforms to address the problems left over from Meng Chang's time as boss. Glazed Tile Lady had sent away a false perfect boss and welcomed a true perfect boss. Wasn't this something to be happy about?

Everyone could feel that from this moment on, Glazed Tile Lady seemed to have become different.

Qi Yan was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. Those who were able to work at Glazed Tile Lady were obviously not stupid, and some things didn't need to be said in too much detail. They understood as soon as they heard it.

Qi Yan said to everyone, "I know that the things that happened a while ago have made everyone feel lost and their work performance has been poor. I'm the same way. I'm not sure about the future direction."

"But now, Boss Pei has pointed out the direction for the future development of Glazed Tile Lady. And unlike Meng Chang's empty promises, the development direction that Boss Pei has given is a truly down-to-earth choice!"

"I'll briefly talk about the recruitment of excellent stall owners as food consultants. Everyone should listen carefully. I hope everyone can fully cooperate with me in the work that follows..."

Taking this opportunity, Qi Yan carefully explained her work plan in detail.

Everyone listened carefully, and from time to time, some people offered their own opinions and actively participated.

They could all feel that the fate of Glazed Tile Lady was already changing!

...

...

January 18th, Wednesday morning.

Stepping onto the land of Jingzhou again, Meng Chang's mood was complicated. He could say that he was filled with a mix of emotions.

The previous few times he had come, he had been relaxed and confident. His suit was neatly pressed, his small mustache was carefully trimmed, and everything about him exuded confidence.

But this time, his clothes were full of wrinkles, his cheeks were covered with a bluish stubble, and his expression was haggard.

During the period after Glazed Tile Lady went bankrupt, he had tried many methods and looked for many investors and large companies, but he had been turned away at every turn. He experienced the coldness of human relationships to the fullest.

When Glazed Tile Lady was at its peak, Meng Chang was a guest of honor wherever he went. The investors and bosses treated him with great courtesy. Now, they simply had their assistants turn him away, not even bothering to see him.

After suffering a series of blows, Meng Chang finally had to accept his current situation: he was basically finished.

Of course, Meng Chang's abilities were still there. No matter what, it wouldn't be a problem for him to find an ordinary job and get by.

But with Meng Chang's personality, he couldn't accept such an ordinary job, and he couldn't accept the fate of working diligently for decades just to pay off his debts.

Therefore, under the huge gap between ideal and reality, he completely fell apart.

Meng Chang didn't own a house, but his beloved car had been seized and his bank cards had been frozen.

Because he couldn't afford the rent, Meng Chang couldn't live in the apartment he had originally rented. In the end, he borrowed money from a friend and temporarily moved to a semi-basement, where he stayed for two days.

And what hit Meng Chang's spirit the most was those articles.

With no job and nowhere to go, Meng Chang stayed in the semi-basement in the capital city, doing nothing all day. While browsing the web, he also saw these three articles.

After reading them, Meng Chang couldn't help but sigh. These articles were well-written, simply meant to kill and punish the heart.

Boss Pei had indeed calculated every step of his. It turned out that from the moment he took the first sum of money from Round Dream Ventures, today's ending had already been doomed, and he remained ignorant until the very end.

This was not only a crushing defeat in terms of intelligence, but also a crushing defeat in terms of overall vision.

Reviewing the past after failure only left Meng Chang with despair.

Today, Meng Chang came to Jingzhou to meet with Boss Pei to talk about work and salary.

Meng Chang wanted to pay off his debts as soon as possible. He didn't want to spend his whole life in a sunless semi-basement eating instant noodles, only being able to take the slow train on long trips, and wasting his life like this.

He didn't want to do those ordinary jobs, and he couldn't get the jobs that could earn more money, so he could only come to Boss Pei to see if he could get lucky.

If it had been the arrogant Meng Chang of the past, he would never have come to Jingzhou.

Boss Pei was clearly scheming against him. Would he have a good time working under Boss Pei? Boss Pei might make fun of him!

But the current Meng Chang no longer had that arrogance and vigor. He just wanted to move out of that semi-basement in the capital city as soon as possible, live in a spacious master bedroom with sunlight, eat normal food that wasn't instant noodles, and earn more money to pay off his debts as soon as possible.

As for whether he would be bullied while working under Boss Pei... that was no longer important.

With this mentality, Meng Chang walked towards Round Dream Ventures.
