Chapter 1030 Bucket Theory

Qin Lingling saw that other employees in the administrative department were like welcoming heroes, surrounding several employees who performed on stage, and she knew that Qin Feng had offended the public.

"Brother, it's the annual party. Let's all have fun together. Don't take it seriously."

When Qin Feng saw that Qin Lingling was not on his side, he couldn't help but leave angrily.

Qin Lingling couldn't help but shake her head. She didn't know that Qin Feng was not capable enough to serve as a company executive. She had brought Qin Feng into the company in order to fight for power from Wang Ruizhi, but there was really no one available, but now the company Under the leadership of her younger brother Qin Hao, it is prospering, everything is developing for the better, and the Series A financing is almost done, so she has to pay attention to this issue.

She remembered that Qin Hao once told her a bucket theory. If a company wants to grow and develop, it is just like a bucket. How much water it can hold depends on the shortest piece of wood.

Before, Qin Lingling thought that the administration department was not an important department, and it was okay to let Qin Feng handle it. However, the performance of the employees in the administration department made her realize that if Qin Feng continued to fiddle with it like this, the administration department would become a shortcoming limiting the company's development.

This is something Qin Lingling cannot tolerate. Since her divorce from Wang Ruizhi, all her energy has been devoted to the company. Anything that hinders the development of the company will affect her interests.

"Xiaoyue, why don't we have the New Year's Eve dinner at home this year?"

Qin Lingling held Li Xiaoyue's hand and said softly.

Li Xiaoyue looked at Qin Hao hesitantly, and Qin Hao responded with a look that said: You decide for yourself.

"Oh well."

As the last special prize was drawn, the annual meeting came to an end. Qin Lingling took the stage and delivered a short speech, which was nothing more than looking forward to the future. The employees were very considerate, and the scene was very lively. After all, the boss spent so much money. At the annual meeting, they actually got the prizes.

The only one who was unhappy was Shen Lin. As soon as she got in the car, Shen Lin was so angry that she punched Na Wei several times.

"Are you going crazy? You know Qin Feng is a petty person, but you still provoke him. Are you afraid that he will give you little shoes to wear?"

Na Wei said unconvinced: "He is the manager of the administrative department and is on the same level as me. He is not my immediate boss, so I am not afraid of him."

Shen Lin was even more angry when she heard this: "What about me? He is my boss's boss. He may not know how to show me favors in the coming year."

"Are you hoping that he will fire me so that I can continue to be a housewife?"

Na Wei said he was wronged: "Honey, how can you think of me in such a vulgar way? I can't stand him bullying you and venting your anger."

Shen Lin said angrily: "Why don't you take it out on me? Qin Feng is Mr. Ling's eldest brother after all. If he is determined to cause trouble for you, what can you do?"

"Have you forgotten how you were fired before? Do you really think you can't survive if the marketing department leaves you? Do you have any core values ​​that cannot be replaced?"

Na Wei remained silent.

Shen Lin said angrily: "You are so old now, but you still act so recklessly."

"I've already done that, what else can I do? The worst is to fire me. Anyway, I can't stand the way he yells at you."

Shen Lin could only sigh helplessly when she saw this. In fact, she was very touched in her heart, but their current family situation could not withstand the blow of her husband's unemployment.

…

On the other side, Qin Hao pulled Li Xiaoyue out of the annual meeting and went straight to the nearest hotel.

I have to say that Li Xiaoyue's Hanfu is still very attractive.

Li Xiaoyue also knows the taste of food and is not as shy as usual. As soon as he entered the room, he was like a koala wrapped around Qin Hao.

This is unbearable, and a battle is inevitable.

There was no words for the whole night, and it wasn't until noon the next day that Li Xiaoyue woke up.

Looking at the fragments of Hanfu scattered beside the bed, Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but blush and her heart beat as she recalled her crazy behavior last night.

"I woke up so early. It seems that I pretended to surrender again last night."

The delicate feeling of skin-to-skin contact on the back made Li Xiaoyue's heart tremble: "I hate it, my favorite set of Hanfu was ruined by you, please forgive me."

"Pay it forward, let's buy ten more sets." Qin Hao said with a wicked smile.

Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at Qin Hao charmingly: "Hmph, don't even think about me wearing this to show you again."

"You really don't want to show me?"

"No."

"Okay, then I'll close my eyes."

"Ah~~hateful."

Li Xiaoyue slapped Qin Hao's hands off, and then said enthusiastically: "There are still three days until New Year's Eve, let's find a place to have some fun?"

"Okay, where do you want to go?"

"How about Yunnan? It's perfect for winter there now."

Then, Qin Hao and Li Xiaoyue boarded a flight to Yunnan.

It wasn't until three days later that Qin Lingling called to urge them to go home for New Year's Eve dinner and they had just gotten off the plane.

"You guys are really good at it. You're running out just before the Chinese New Year." Qin Lingling watched the two of them carrying big and small bags into the house and couldn't help complaining.

Qin Hao and Li Xiaoyue looked at each other and smiled. Qin Lingling felt like she was fed a handful of dog food and was full all of a sudden.

"By the way, where's the eldest brother?" Qin Hao glanced around and didn't see Qin Feng's family, so he asked curiously.

Qin Lingling shook her head helplessly: "You are getting angry with me."

"Oh, what's wrong? Just because you didn't stand by him on the day of the annual meeting and punish those employees."

"That's not true. I asked him not to come to the company to work next year and just take the stock options."

This time it was Qin Hao's turn to be a little surprised: "Then he must be mad."

If this happened to the second-generation rich who have a clear understanding of themselves, they would definitely be very happy, as they don't have to work and can still have money to spend.

But for someone like Qin Feng who has no understanding of his own abilities, it would be more painful than killing him.

In Qin Feng's cognition, he felt that he was full of talent, but just lacked a platform to display it. He was full of ambition all day long and wanted to make a career, but in fact, he was not good at it. He often made some tricks on his head, and in the end, Qin Lingling had to clean up the mess for him.

"That's right, he scolded me on the phone, so don't gloat over it. You are the one who scolded the most."

Qin Hao was speechless for a while: "Why scold me? I didn't fire him."

"What else can I say? Who is the most ruthless to him on weekdays? It's not unfair for him to scold you."

As he spoke, Qin Lingling pulled Li Xiaoyue to sit down, and said to the nanny: "Auntie, go and call Wang Zhe down."

Soon, a teenage boy came downstairs.

"Uncle."

"Well, I've grown a lot taller, but a little thinner. I told you to eat more beef before, did you eat it?"

Wang Zhe said depressedly: "I almost vomited from eating so much beef, and I didn't see any muscle growth."

"That's because you don't exercise enough. Did you stick to the exercises I asked you to do before?"

Wang Zhe was silent now. Qin Hao patted his shoulder and whispered: "Your body is the capital for finding a girlfriend. If you don't exercise now, it will be difficult to train to my level in the future."

Li Xiaoyue was closer to Qin Hao, and some fanciful images floated in his mind for no reason.

"Is it appropriate for you to say this to a child?"

Before Qin Hao could speak, Wang Zhe retorted: "Aunt, I'm not a child anymore. I will be in the first grade of high school in the second half of the year."

The name of aunt made Li Xiaoyue's ears red, and Qin Hao quietly gave Wang Zhe a thumbs up.

At the table, Wang Zhe suddenly asked: "Mom, can I go see Dad tomorrow?"

Qin Lingling paused while picking up the food: "Okay, I'll ask the driver to take you there. Remember to pack your luggage later."

Li Xiaoyue also heard Qin Hao talk about Wang Ruizhi, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, after all, she was still an outsider.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, Li Xiaoyue was left behind because of Qin Lingling's enthusiasm, but she slept in the same room with Qin Lingling, while Qin Hao was driven to the guest room. Seeing Qin Hao's dissatisfied but helpless look, Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Lingling had taken a shower early and lay on the bed. After taking a shower, Li Xiaoyue stood at the door of the bathroom and felt a little embarrassed. She hadn't slept in the same bed with a woman for a long time.

After finally doing enough psychological preparation, Li Xiaoyue walked out of the bathroom.

Qin Lingling looked at Li Xiaoyue in silk pajamas and couldn't help teasing: "No wonder that guy is so obsessed with you, you have a great figure."

"Sister Ling~~~" Li Xiaoyue was a little embarrassed.

Qin Lingling smiled at Li Xiaoyue and said: "You are not a teenage girl, what's there to be embarrassed about."

"By the way, did Haozi visit your parents?"

Li Xiaoyue's eyes dimmed: "My parents died in a car accident when I was in high school."

Qin Lingling was stunned for a moment, then gave Li Xiaoyue a hug and comforted her: "It's all over, my parents also passed away suddenly when I was just 20 years old, and Haozi was just 14 years old at that time..."

No words were spoken all night, and when Qin Hao got up the next day, he found something that puzzled him. The expression and tone of Qin Lingling when talking to Li Xiaoyue were as if they were a family.

"No, what kind of drug did you give my sister last night?"

Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at Qin Hao, then said with some pride: "I won't tell you."

"Hmph, think it over, we won't stay at my sister's place tonight." Qin Hao threatened.

Before Li Xiaoyue could speak, Qin Lingling snorted: "Xiaoyue has been here with me these days, don't bully her in the future."

After that, she said to Li Xiaoyue: "Don't be afraid, if he dares to bully you in the future, tell me and I will deal with him."

Well, this is a home being robbed.

For the next week, Qin Lingling and Li Xiaoyue were almost inseparable, as good as sisters, which made Qin Hao once doubt what brand of drug Li Xiaoyue gave Qin Lingling to take, so that the drug effect was so long-lasting.

In this week, Qin Lingling took Li Xiaoyue to various shopping malls and spent at least hundreds of thousands of yuan. Most of the money was spent on Li Xiaoyue, such as branded clothes, bags and jewelry, almost giving Li Xiaoyue a comprehensive transformation.

At first, Li Xiaoyue wanted to refuse, but Qin Lingling persuaded her with emotion and reason, and she cried so hard that Li Xiaoyue had to accept it.

That day, Qin Lingling took Li Xiaoyue shopping and ran into Qin Feng, who had a sullen face.

Because of Qin Hao, Qin Feng ignored Li Xiaoyue directly, which also caused Qin Lingling's dissatisfaction.

"It's the New Year, and you didn't answer the phone call to wish you a happy new year. Who are you showing your sullen face to now?"

Qin Hao almost laughed out loud. It is said that there is a nemesis. Qin Feng's idiot character, who bites whoever he catches, no one can subdue him except Qin Lingling.

Qin Feng said sullenly: "Ling'er, I have something to talk to you."

"Let's talk here, there are no outsiders." Qin Lingling took the opportunity to pull Li Xiaoyue to sit on the sofa.

The sentence "no outsiders" made Li Xiaoyue a little embarrassed.

Qin Feng felt bored. Originally, Qin Hao was enough to annoy him, but now there was another Li Xiaoyue.

"Ling'er, I've been in the company for a long time. It was you who said that I was alone in the company. Those people were Wang Ruizhi's confidants. Did I resign on the spot without saying a word?"

Qin Lingling nodded slightly. She had never denied that her elder brother Qin Feng had helped her.

Although his ability is indeed not very good, his starting point is still for her own good.

It's just that some things just don't work. People like Qin Feng who do bad things with good intentions are actually the most troublesome.

You talk to him about ability, and he talks about loyalty to you, and he bursts into tears, as if everyone in the company except him is a bad guy, and they all want to take away her property.

Qin Feng is in this state now, with tears in his eyes accusing Qin Lingling of crossing the river and burning down the bridge.

Qin Lingling said helplessly: "Brother, why did I burn the bridge? I told you that your salary will still be paid, and the option rewards will be cashed out for you. Just treat it as early retirement and spend more time with your sister-in-law at home." Isn’t it good for children?”

Qin Hao could even see a flash of envy in Li Xiaoyue's eyes, but Qin Feng didn't appreciate it.

"Ling'er, do you think I put all my effort into staying in the company just for money?"

Qin Hao secretly cursed: You might as well do it for money.

Qin Lingling also gradually lost her patience: "Brother, why don't you understand? The company is about to receive Series A financing. Next, the investors will send people to conduct a comprehensive value assessment of the company, and the performance of each department and each employee. It will all determine the value of the company in the eyes of investors.”

"Ling'er, are you saying that my presence will lower the value of the company?" Qin Feng was unhappy when he heard this.

"If you insist on thinking that way, there's nothing I can do about it." Qin Lingling didn't want to continue coaxing Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was very angry: "Ling'er, if you say so, I am the one who has been holding the company back, right?"

Qin Lingling remained silent. She really didn't want to make things worse and the brother and sister turned against each other.

"Brother, how much do you think the company is worth now?" Qin Hao suddenly asked.

Qin Feng said angrily: "About 500 million, 800 million is the most."

"What if I told you that the company's Series A financing target is to be valued at 2 billion?"

Qin Feng was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and then said in a decisive tone: "Impossible, a valuation of 2 billion, unless those investors are crazy."

"Look, this is an intuitive reflection of your ability. You don't have a correct value positioning for the company at all."

"To tell you the truth, three investment institutions have already contacted us, and none of them has a valuation lower than 1.5 billion."
