Soon Lifen's car got parked in the parking lot of the Li Corporation.
It was her first day to work but wasn't the first day in this office.
She has accompanied her grandfather often in the past, especially after becoming his helper at the age of 16.
She was already familiar with the organizational structure and the functioning of the company. The only thing of which she wasn't familiar was the shareholders and stakeholders of the company as in the past she has never dealt with them.
Her work was only to look at the clients demands and modify the proposal according to their requirements and the benefit of the company's profit.
When she stepped out of her car, she noticed that several people were waiting with bouquets in their hands.
Some were familiar faces to her while there were some whom she had not seen before. They might have been recruited when she was abroad for two years.
Erica was also standing beside them, waiting for her arrival. Since she was the personal assistant of Lifen at ELEGANCE studio, she will continue to be her assistant in Li Corporation too. She can't get bothered about anything till she has working under the guidance if Lifen. She was sure that she won't get such considerate boss anywhere else and she loved to work for her.
Huang Fei was the first one to approach her side first followed by Erica from behind. He has been appointed as the Vice President now.
Following him were five more well dressed employees.
Turn by turn they presented their bouquets to her which were later handed to the janitor who was standing behind to handle them.
Huang Fei introduced everyone to them, "President Li! This is Mr.Liu Mingyu from administrative department, Ms.Zhen Peilan from finance, Ms.Yu Guan from human resource department and Mr.Xi Shen from public relations"
"President Li! Welcome to the Li Corporation. We will do our best to assist you. Looking forward for your guidance and leadership", the people greeted Lifen on her arrival.
Lifen gave a warm smile as she said, "How can that be? We have to work together to attain the success. How can I alone be able to attain it? Your experience will guide me and your support and trust will motivate me to work more hard. So you all have to look after me too".
Her words were quite simple to everyone's ears but it had touched everyone's heart. The people who were already familiar with her temperament were satisfied with her being the next CEO of the company.
While the ones who were new to the company also felt respect after sensing her so 'down to earth' nature.
True respect rose in their heart for her.
While entering inside, Lifen said with pure respect towards everyone. Her words didn't hold even a tinge of arrogance. "Please arrange every employee in the meeting hall. I want to have few words with them"
Hearing her say this, Huang Fei agreed but from the side Mr.Xi Shen interrupted, "Sorry President Li but you have an introductory meeting with the shareholders and stakeholders in the next twenty minutes. We can arrang thee meeting with the employees after that".
Lifen stopped her steps as she turned and looked at the person who spoke. There wasn't any change in her expression. Her eyes still held respect. "Our employees are the assets. How can we take them to be the second preference? They should become our first priority. Our stakeholders and shareholders could wait for it but I need to meet the people who are working hard for the company first"
There was no question on her words. She has given more importance to the employees than the shareholders of the company.
Huang Fei smiled as he led her towards the main building. He led her to her office then quickly left with Erica to make arrangements and let her get more familiar with the different departments of the company. This way she could get more comfortable and will able to assist Lifen in a more better way.
Soon every employee gathered in the conference hall of the company. The employees working in the main branch office was more than two hundred so when everyone got gathered at a single hall, it felt a little more congested. But the conference hall was still big enough to gather everyone comfortably inside.
There were gossips going around. The new employees who haven't came across with Lifen were speculating her nature and arrogance level.
While the old employees were trying their best to sum all the best points of her to let the new employees know her comforting temperament.
Soon Lifen entered the conference hall to address the employees and everyone instantly got silent to hear her words.
They have heard that the new President has postponed the introductory meeting with the shareholders, just to have some words with them. This made them more curious about the words she has to say to them.
Lifen looked at everyone matching their gazes as she stood in front of the podium, "Good morning everyone!! I am the new employee who has come to work along with you to assure the success of this company. Today, I am here to get familiar to you all. There are some faces with whom I am familiar but still there are many new face too".
"I won't say I am fully confident in myself. No, I am not. I am a little nervous actually. I don't know whether I could live upto the expectations of the former President but it's known that if I want to get upto his expectations then I will need your help"
"I have to learn alot from you. I have to make us work together for the success of this company. You all are the skillful assets of the company on whom the success really rely. My first priority in this company would be to make you feel the warmth of being in the family when working here and maintain your satisfaction".
"If the family is happy then only the country could prosper. We are a family. We have to be happy together to make this company more and more prosperous. Will I get your support in this? Will you help me to make this company more like a family?"
Lifen said with whole sincerity as she waited for getting the response. She has always thought that the success of the company highly depends on the satisfaction and cooperation level of the employees. So the words were not just the words, it was her true feelings.
Soon the whole hall was full of applauds with the employees nodding their heads in acceptance. Hearing such considerate words from the new President, they were sure that the future of the company and the people working here are in capable hands.
They have heard before that the new President has singlehandedly raised a brand on her own and has made it successful in the international market in just the span of two years.
They have also heard about the satisfaction of people working there. At first they thought that it was just to boast up the capability of the CEO. But now they believe their words.
Lifen smiled after hearing the approval of the employees.
