Chapter 303 - 161: Wei Luyao Wants to Join the ’Offer’ Show

Chapter 303: Chapter 161: Wei Luyao Wants to Join the ’Offer’ Show

It all clicked into place for everyone. No wonder Chen Mo had suddenly taken over Panshi Venture Capital.

They also understood why the boss had invited Xu Xiyue to join the company.

It was all set up just for the boss’s wife.

And no wonder she had resigned from her job just yesterday, only to start working here today without missing a beat.

’Still, it just goes to show how much the boss truly loves her.’

’Even after everything that happened, he was sticking by her.’

’He even started a company just for her, letting her do whatever she wanted with it.’

’It must be love. I’m getting emotional.’

After chatting with Xu Xiyue for a while, Chen Mo walked out of her office.

The moment he stepped out, he could feel the employees surreptitiously stealing glances at him from the corners of their eyes.

He froze for a second, then quickly figured out what was happening.

’Everyone must know about the hug in the office with Xu Xiyue.’

"Have someone from HR come to my office."

Chen Mo said suddenly, then returned to his office.

Hearing Chen Mo’s words, the female employee’s face instantly turned pale.

’It looked like Chen Mo was going to deal with her.’

Back in his office, Chen Mo had barely been sitting for a minute when the interim head of the HR department arrived.

"President Chen, you were looking for me?"

She stood before Chen Mo’s desk with a slight bow.

"Sit."

Chen Mo gestured with his hand.

The HR head sat down gingerly.

"Post Xu Xiyue’s personal information on the company’s official website. Her title will be Vice General Manager and Head of the Investment Team. As for her salary..."

"Send an internal email to all employees announcing President Xu’s addition to Panshi Venture Capital. State her position and include what I said this morning."

"President Xu will give you a list of people to poach. You’re authorized to offer them better compensation and higher positions."

"And that female employee who just asked for my signature—zero out her performance bonus for the month."

Chen Mo didn’t mince words, directly assigning her several tasks.

He had made a point of mentioning the female employee.

He usually didn’t care much about people gossiping about him.

But this was a venture capital firm. If they were gossiping about him today, what was to stop them from leaking information about an investment project tomorrow?

He had to issue a light punishment, just to make sure everyone learned their lesson.

Besides, the punishment was very light—more of a symbolic gesture.

The next person who carelessly spread rumors wouldn’t get off so easily.

"Yes, President Chen. I’ll get on it right away."

The HR head jotted down the tasks Chen Mo had given her and nodded respectfully.

"If you can poach half the people on President Xu’s list, you’ll be the new head of the HR department."

Chen Mo was dangling a carrot for her.

It was a difficult carrot to reach, but it was a real one.

Anyone with enough skill could actually get it.

He never made empty promises.

"Rest assured, President Chen. I’ll do everything I can to complete the tasks you’ve given me!"

Hearing his words, the HR head shot to her feet, her voice thick with excitement as she made her promise to Chen Mo.

She knew this was her chance to take off. She had to wonder if this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

She had to seize it.

"Mm, go on then."

Chen Mo nodded at her with a smile.

Soon, Xu Xiyue’s profile appeared on the Panshi Venture Capital official website.

The moment someone opened the Panshi Venture Capital website, her personal page appeared in the most prominent spot.

It listed her photo, name, title, email address, and so on.

Interested entrepreneurs could email her directly.

The only question was whether any entrepreneurs would still dare to email her now.

Then, all the company’s employees received the internal email.

No one looked particularly surprised when they read it.

They already knew what was happening—and they knew more than the email said, too.

The email made a point of including Chen Mo’s remarks from the morning, but even if it hadn’t, no one would dare cross Xu Xiyue now.

Who would be crazy enough to cross the boss’s wife?

’Tired of having a job, are we?’

’Everyone knows this company was set up just for her. Offending her now would be idiotic—a death wish, even.’

’Chen Mo started a whole company for her. You think he wouldn’t fire you?’

The female employee also received the notice that her performance bonus for the month had been zeroed out.

She was instantly overjoyed and hurried to Chen Mo’s office to apologize—and to get a document signed while she was at it.

She knew perfectly well that this was just a symbolic punishment.

It meant Chen Mo wasn’t too angry with her; he was just reminding her about the importance of confidentiality.

"President Chen, I’m so sorry. I couldn’t help but tell one colleague. She promised she wouldn’t spread it, but then..."

she said, looking extremely apologetic.

"In the future, take forms like this to President Xu."

Chen Mo glanced at the document before signing it.

Documents involving large sums of money required his signature, but something like this didn’t.

"You believed a colleague wouldn’t spread that kind of gossip? You might as well believe she’s Qin Shi Huang."

Chen Mo handed the signed document back to her, unable to resist a little jab.

If that person could have resisted spreading the gossip, she wouldn’t have asked about it in the first place.

"I understand now..."

Holding the signed document, she left with a look of shame on her face.

Afterward, whenever people came to report to him, he would direct them to Xu Xiyue depending on the matter.

Anything that didn’t require his personal decision or signature was to go through Xu Xiyue.

After all, besides being the Head of the Investment Team, Xu Xiyue was also the company’s Vice General Manager.

She had to manage the day-to-day affairs of the company as well.

Having worked at Sky Dome Capital for several years, she was more than capable of handling such responsibilities.

Besides, Chen Mo trusted her to handle them.

He might worry about others having ulterior motives, but he knew Xu Xiyue had none.
