After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

The party was over, the noise faded, and Gu Jinyan's office returned to peace. The city night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window was still bright, reflecting the two people in the room who were concentrating on each other.

Su Li put down the document in her hand and frowned slightly. "Although this reform plan is comprehensive, is it too strong? The overseas branch has been plagued for a long time. If the foundation is shaken all at once, I am worried that it will cause a backlash."

Gu Jinyan's deep eyes fell on the document, and his fingers tapped the table. "No destruction, no construction. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain. Rather than letting it continue to drag down the company, it is better to take this opportunity to thoroughly rectify it." He paused, and said firmly, "I believe in your ability. You will be able to appease the emotions of the employees and smoothly implement the reform."

Su Li met his gaze, and a warm current surged in her heart. His trust and support were her greatest motivation to move forward. "Okay, I understand. I will do my best to do this well."

A storm of drastic reforms has thus begun.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan acted vigorously and first adjusted the company's organizational structure. They abolished several inefficient departments with overlapping responsibilities, integrated resources into core business departments, streamlined redundant positions, and clarified the responsibilities and authority of each department and position.

In order to improve the business capabilities and teamwork spirit of employees, they also invited professional trainers to provide training for employees. The training content covers marketing, financial management, cross-cultural communication and other aspects, aiming to help employees better adapt to the new working environment and requirements.

These measures caused quite a stir within the company. Some employees expressed confusion and resistance to the reforms, and even voices of protest.

Facing doubts and pressure, Su Li always remained calm and patient. She went deep into the grassroots, communicated with employees face to face, listened to their voices, understood their demands, and explained to them in detail the purpose and significance of the reform.

Her sincere attitude and professionalism gradually won the understanding and support of employees. More and more employees began to realize that the reform was for the better development of the company and for their own long-term interests.

"Mr. Gu, an official from the local government wants to meet with you to discuss investment cooperation." The secretary knocked on the door and broke the silence of the office.

Gu Jinyan closed the file and said, "I understand. Please arrange a time."

Su Li's eyes moved slightly, "It seems that our reforms have begun to bear fruit..."

When Gu Jinyan arrived at the agreed location, the officials had been waiting for a long time. After a simple greeting, the two sides got straight to the point and had an in-depth discussion on issues such as the investment environment, policy preferences, and project cooperation. With his keen business sense and accurate market analysis, Gu Jinyan explained the company's future development plan and its role in driving the local economy. His sincere attitude and professional insights impressed the officials present, and the two sides finally reached a cooperation intention on multiple projects, injecting new vitality into the development of the overseas branch.

At the same time, Su Li appeared in every corner of the overseas branch. Sometimes she appeared in the production workshop, working side by side with the workers to understand the production process and product quality; sometimes she appeared in the design department, discussing product design concepts with designers and listening to their creativity and ideas; sometimes she appeared in the customer service center, answering customer calls, handling customer complaints, and understanding customer needs.

"Mr. Su, why are you here?" A young designer was a little surprised to see Su Li.

Su Li smiled slightly, "I came to see how everyone is doing and learn from you."

She walked over to the designer and looked at the design on the computer screen. "The design of this product is very creative, but I think it can be bolder and more in line with the aesthetic tastes of young people."

The designer listened to Su Li's suggestion and his eyes lit up. "Boss Su, you are right. I will modify it right away."

During her visits to the grassroots, Su Li discovered some management loopholes and practical difficulties encountered by employees in their work. She recorded these problems one by one, communicated with the heads of relevant departments in a timely manner, and urged them to solve them as soon as possible.

"Manager Zhang, I found that the goods in the warehouse are arranged in a somewhat messy manner. This not only affects work efficiency, but also poses a safety hazard. I hope you can improve it as soon as possible." Su Li said to the manager of the logistics department.

"Okay, Mr. Su, I'll arrange for someone to sort it out right away." The logistics department manager nodded in response.

As night fell, Su Li returned to the hotel after a day's work, exhausted but fulfilled. She picked up her phone and called Gu Jinyan, "I found a problem today..."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Jinyan's voice was low and magnetic, "You said..."

Su Li reported some of the actions and decisions of the overseas branch manager to Gu Jinyan, and said with a hint of solemnity, "I think..."

"I think there are big problems with the ability and attitude of the manager of the overseas branch. His wrong decisions and chaotic management have seriously affected the development of the company." Su Li said in a firm tone, revealing all his judgments and concerns.

Gu Jinyan on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, "I understand, you did a good job, I will handle these issues." Although his voice was calm, Su Li could feel the waves hidden in it.

The next day, Gu Jinyan personally presided over the management meeting of the overseas branch. At the meeting, he severely criticized the manager of the overseas branch for his dereliction of duty and announced that he would be dismissed from his position.

"The company's development to this day is inseparable from the efforts of every employee, but at the same time, it also needs to keep pace with the times and continuously optimize and improve." Gu Jinyan glanced at everyone present, his tone was calm but revealed unquestionable majesty, "I hope everyone will learn from this, always maintain a sense of crisis, and create greater value for the company."

Gu Jinyan's vigorous style and decisive decision made the management staff present feel a chill in their hearts. They realized that the new president was not a character that could be easily fooled, and only by fulfilling their duties conscientiously could they gain a firm foothold in this reform.

Subsequently, Su Li and Gu Jinyan promoted a group of capable and responsible employees to important positions. These new managers were full of passion and energy, and they actively implemented reform measures, injecting new vitality into the company's development.

The HR manager reported the performance evaluation results of the employees to Su Li and Gu Jinyan. The data showed that the work performance of most employees had improved significantly. Looking at the positive numbers on the report, Su Li and Gu Jinyan smiled at each other. They knew that their efforts were not in vain and the overseas branch was moving in a better direction.

"It seems that our reform this time was very successful." Su Li's tone was a little relieved, but Gu Jinyan shook his head slightly.

"Don't take it lightly," he looked out the window, his deep eyes seemed to hide something on his mind, "This is just the first step..."

"This is just the first step..." Gu Jinyan's words were like a stone, stirring up ripples in Su Li's calm heart. She knew that the "first step" Gu Jinyan mentioned referred to the initial reorganization of the overseas branch, but this was far from enough.

The overseas market is changing rapidly and competitors are eyeing them covetously. They still have a long way to go if they want to gain a foothold in this battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder.

In the following days, Su Li and Gu Jinyan devoted all their energy to the business expansion of overseas branches. They visited local markets, understood customer needs, and actively sought cooperation opportunities with partners. With his keen market insight and excellent public relations skills, Su Li won batches of orders for the company.

Seeing the overseas branch gradually getting on track and the confident smiles on the faces of the employees, Su Li felt a sense of accomplishment. She knew that all this was inseparable from the joint efforts of her and Gu Jinyan, and even more inseparable from the unity of all employees.

However, just as the company's reforms began to show results, a new challenge quietly arrived.

That day, Su Li came to the office as usual, but found that the atmosphere was a little unusual. Employees gathered in twos and threes, whispering about something, with uneasiness and anxiety written all over their faces.

"What happened?" Su Li asked the assistant.

The assistant handed over the tablet in a panic, "Boss Su, take a look at it yourself."

Su Li took the tablet and saw several negative reports about the company's products on the screen. The reports said that the company's products had serious quality problems, which had caused complaints from some customers and the local government had already intervened in the investigation.

Su Li suddenly felt dizzy. The contents of these reports were completely false. It was obvious that someone was deliberately spreading rumors and causing trouble behind the scenes!

"Where is Mr. Gu?" Su Li forced herself to calm down.

"Mr. Gu has already gone to deal with the matter." The assistant replied.

Su Li took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. "Notify the public relations department and hold an emergency meeting immediately!"

At this moment, Gu Jinyan called, his tone more serious than ever before, "Su Li, we may be in trouble this time..."
