Li Menghan's company was a cosmetics firm.
Originally, her position was supervisor of the sales department.
Her monthly salary was twelve thousand.
Now, President Ning had promoted her to manager of the administrative department, offering a monthly salary of fourteen thousand.
This was clearly grooming her as a confidante. Knowing the hardships of the workplace, how could Li Menghan let such a good opportunity slip away?
It was because of this matter that President Ning had called her immediately to confirm.
So that the person behind her could handle the procedures.
As for Ye Yun's advice?
He was a good-for-nothing. It would be idiotic to listen to him!
"If you don't believe me, you can send a message to your most important clients," Ye Yun's voice continued.
Li Menghan had been about to put away her computer and leave.
But somehow, she inexplicably drafted a WeChat message and sent it to a former client.
"Sister Wang, when do you have time for dinner?"
About three minutes later, the other party replied.
"Heh, I'm quite busy lately. We'll talk about it later."
Everyone in this day and age understood what "heh" meant.
The other party was too lazy to bother with her!
Looking at the perfunctory reply, Li Menghan felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
What was going on!
Helplessly, Li Menghan wanted to send something like, "I'll wait until you're free." She knew that maintaining this relationship with Sister Wang, her business benefactor, was crucial for her!
At this moment, Ye Yun's voice sounded again.
"That was just a polite dismissal. If you send another message, you might be blacklisted and never get a reply."
Li Menghan froze, her hand hovering over the send button. She turned to Ye Yun, feeling a surge of anger.
"No one would think you're mute if you just kept quiet! Don't act like you're all that! If you were really capable, my sister and I wouldn't have to rent this shabby place!"
"I was the one who was a scoundrel before. From now on, I will give them a happy life," Ye Yun said calmly, facing Li Menghan's accusation.
His past experiences had long since made his state of mind unshakeable.
In fact, aside from his wife and daughter, there were very few things that could stir his emotions.
If Li Menghan were not his sister-in-law, and if she did not care about his sister, Ye Yun would not have said a word!
He explained slowly.
"Based on the message you just sent, your boss is merely attempting a demotion disguised as a promotion, and is wary of you."
"You were the supervisor of sales, yet you're being made manager of administration. A sales talent, to manage trivial matters?"
"It's as if your network of relationships built over the years has been completely uprooted in one fell swoop."
"If I'm not mistaken, the moment you agreed to move to administration, your President Ning has already handed over your clients to someone else."
"And the person who replaced you is likely the one President Ning truly trusts."
Li Menghan was taken aback.
In the past, when she lost her temper with Ye Yun, he would either yell back or storm off, pretending not to see. He was completely cowardly.
Therefore, Li Menghan had always looked down on Ye Yun.
She had even disliked his younger brother, who had helped her sister get married, because of Ye Yun.
But today's Ye Yun didn't yell or run away.
He calmly laid out the entire situation for her.
More importantly, Li Menghan felt that what he said made sense!
Because three months ago, President Ning had assigned someone to the sales department, and that person was President Ning's nephew.
Ning Xiaoming, an utterly useless individual!
Arranging someone like that in the sales department for no reason...
Could it be?
Coupled with Sister Wang's reaction, Li Menghan looked at Ye Yun in silence.
If it weren't for that familiar face, she would have thought she had encountered some influential figure!
"He's just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat, drink, and gamble at home. He's probably hallucinating from some conspiracy theories he read somewhere!" Li Menghan cursed in her heart, but said nothing aloud.
After all, this involved her future career, and she had to be cautious.
Seeing Li Menghan's expression and her apparent slowness to grasp the situation, Ye Yun knew that his sister-in-law had taken most of his words to heart.
Ye Yun continued.
"If you want to avoid being discarded after you're no longer useful, you need to grasp the key point, which is your clients."
"Although your clients' current attitude towards you is ambiguous, it's only because they are unaware of your company's current situation. You can proactively call them and explain."
"Also, although the administrative department doesn't control sales channels, it has other powers. You can hold a promotion party and invite your colleagues from the sales department to celebrate your promotion. See how your colleagues react."
"You'll know who your allies are and who aren't by seeing who shows up. You can take care of your allies accordingly, and suppress those who aren't. It's simple."
"Whether you continue to develop in this company, jump to another, or go solo in the future, these people are indispensable assets."
Li Menghan hesitated upon hearing Ye Yun's words.
Based on the current situation, Ye Yun's judgment was undoubtedly accurate.
But she couldn't understand how she could accurately pull clients to her side when they were loyal to the product and the company.
And her colleagues, who didn't get paid by her, why would they be loyal to her instead of Ning Xiaoming, that straw man?
However, despite her countless doubts, asking Ye Yun directly felt worse than killing her.
Li Menghan's hesitation did not escape Ye Yun's notice. He proactively explained.
"Doing business is also about dealing with people. Whether it's clients or your subordinates, the newly appointed supervisor has already contacted them."
"Everyone knows what kind of person that individual is and how they conduct themselves. You just need to act as a chess piece."
"As long as you can make your clients feel your sincerity, you, being from the sales department, should know best how to express sincerity."
Boom!
Ye Yun's words struck Li Menghan like lightning, and she was instantly enlightened.
After a moment of careful consideration, Li Menghan immediately went aside to call Sister Wang. Before dialing, she glared fiercely at Ye Yun.
"You talk too much. If Sister Wang blocks me, I'll deal with you!"
"You won't be dealing with me anytime soon. I'll get you a glass of water," Ye Yun smiled, went to the kitchen, got a cup, washed it, and came back.
When he returned, he saw Li Menghan beaming and clenching her fist.
Judging by her expression, Ye Yun knew she had successfully made an appointment with a client. He put down the water and said with a smile.
"I'm thirsty after all that talking. Have some water."
"Sister Wang asked me to chat at her shop at noon!" Li Menghan picked up the cup, took a sip, and then hurried out. "Her shop isn't far from here. I'm going now!"
Just as she reached the door, Li Menghan stopped, bit her lip, hesitated, then turned back and grabbed Ye Yun's arm.
"Come on, you're coming with me!"
