Chapter 299: Carrot and Stick

What was Mu Qiqi waiting for? She wanted to make sure that Eldest Liu was able to find the jewelry set and was confident to get it.

After getting a definite answer, Mu Qiqi took a day off in Sheng Ting for the meeting in Huang Yao. In fact, she was nervous. It was after all the place where Xiaoxiao worked. Now that she was going to that place, she felt a bit strange.

“The meeting starts at nine. My secretary will be your assistant. She will help you to get the documents ready and coordinate with you.”

“Mom, will you be here as well?”

“She will just wait at the door. She is worried that you might get nervous. But she is more worried that you might get bullied.” Sheng Xiao helped Mu Qiqi adjust the collar of her coat. Then, he hugged her and kissed her on the forehead. “You will do well without me, right?”

“Of course.” Mu Qiqi smiled and showed him the documents in her hand.

Sheng Xiao had not read the proposal as he had confidence in his little one.

Then, they got into the car and headed to Huang Yao.

When they got there, Sheng Xiao walked into the building hand-in-hand with Mu Qiqi. All the staff were excited to see the legendary young bride.

They had been making wild guesses about the woman that would win the crown prince’s heart. They had thought of all kinds of women. But they never expected she would be a nineteen-year-old girl.

In Huang Yao, when the female staff with outstanding abilities knew that they had lost to a little girl, they felt disappointed. Now, after stealing their ideal man, she was here now to have a meeting because she was the person-in-charge for the banquet for the VVIPs. It made them feel angrier.

The world was so strange!

The crowd witnessed Sheng Xiao lead Mu Qiqi to the door of the meeting room.

When Mama Sheng’s secretary saw them, she approached them and greeted them politely. “Crown Prince, Young Mistress.”

“I will hand over her to you.” Sheng Xiao kissed Mu Qiqi’s forehead again before leaving.

“Young Mistress, the staff of the planning department is already waiting for you. Is there any document you need me to get it ready?”

“Please help me to photocopy this.” Mu Qiqi handed the document to the secretary.

Since she was Mama Sheng’s secretary, she would trust her.

After a couple of minutes, the secretary brought a stack of documents back to Mu Qiqi. “It’s almost time. We should go in now.”

“How many people are there in the department?”

“About fifteen.”

“Fifteen. And nobody can come up with a good proposal?”

The secretary smiled and opened the door for Mu Qiqi.

When Mu Qiqi walked into the meeting room, she saw a group of apathetic staff. So, this was the planning department of Huang Yao, lifeless and unmotivated.

There were four old employees. They were all males. And there were four females. As the rest of them, they were all young men.

From their eyes, Mu Qiqi could see that they deeply doubted her ability.

Of course, she was a young layman. How could she handle such an important job?

However, Mu Qiqi did not bother. She let the secretary distribute the documents to each of them.

When they saw the proposal was not written in the right format, they did not feel like reading it at all.

Mu Qiqi did not want to rush things.

She went to the main seat and greeted them. “Nice to meet you. I am Mu Qiqi, the person-in-charge for the banquet for the VVIPs this year. I hope that we can get along and work together in the next few weeks.”

They gave her a slow clap.

“Now, let’s read the content of the proposal. I will explain it to you afterward.”

“Miss Mu, I won’t read this kind of so-called proposal.” One of the old employees protested. “It is not properly written. The key points are. I am very worried about how the event would turn out this year.”

“Wouldn’t you worry the same thing without me?” Mu Qiqi did not fear the man just because he was older. “You said that the proposal is a lousy one. Have you read it? What’s written on the first page?”

The man did not expect that Mu Qiqi would respond in such a way. He was stunned.

“How about this? I know that you are all experienced workers. Some have worked for two or three years and some even more than ten. It is a bit uneasy for you to listen to a young girl like me. I understand that. So, please close the proposal and we shall get to know each other first.”

The secretary was in a cold sweat just now because she knew that the staff would look down on Mu Qiqi. They were experienced workers. So, even if they could not come up with a good proposal, they were still the experts. Why should they listen to a layman who knew nothing?

“Miss Mu, let me be frank with you. As a Forensic Science student, do you even know what planning is?”

“You know it well. But have you brought any progress to Huang Yao for all these years?” Mu Qiqi refuted. “The banquet for the VVIPs is a reward program for the esteemed customers of Huang Yao. Besides, it is a marketing event for the next collection. We need to make the existing customers feel that they are still the noble guests but at the same time to make the new customers feel that Huang Yao can provide the best service to them just like the best quality of our diamonds. Which criteria have you fulfilled in all these years? I have read the performance reports of your department for the last three years. Are your brains empty? You’ve not provided any new insights. You just did everything the same way each time. When you doubt my ability, think about what you have done being in this position!”

Mu Qiqi pointed out their problem directly. The man was lost for words.

“Why is Grandpa asking me, a newbie to handle this? The reason is pretty simple. He thinks that the planning department has lost its purpose. There is no need to retain it already. You all did all sorts of things in order to keep your jobs. But, after years of doing things half-heartedly, do you think Grandpa would not realize it? Is he a fool? So, he let me come here to remind you that if you keep on doing this, you won’t be coming here for meetings next year. So as I.”

Everyone was alarmed when they heard her.

“So, it is up to you if you want to cooperate or not. If you do, I will shoulder the blame completely if anything goes wrong. But if you don’t, I can advise you to hand in your resignation letters or you will get the pink slips later. That will be embarrassing.”

The secretary was impressed with the way Mu Qiqi had handled the situation. She used the carrot and stick approach seamlessly.

She was worthy of being the fiancée of the crown prince.

“So? What’s your choice?”

Fifteen employees exchanged glances with each other. In the end, they chose to cooperate.

“Miss Mu, let’s begin with the key points. We will cooperate with you.”
