Chapter 32 - Empty Title
Not being able to tolerate the hushed voices coming from every angle in the meeting room, Fu Hua raised his hands, and the noise immediately dies down. Then he slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the HR manager, before glancing at the other HOD in the meeting room.
"Fu Meixu might be my cousin, but no preferential treatment will be given to her, so you all can go ahead and air your views." Fu Hua said to them.
He knew the reason they were talking in a hushed tone, was because they were afraid he wanted Fu Meixu to be picked when she wasn't even qualified.
And now he has set their relationship aside, they were free to air their views and suggest whatever they had in mind.
The HR Manager was surprised by Fu Hua's words, but he dared not to say anything. All he had to do now was to get his work done by making sure? Fu Meixu was picked.
Yes, it is as you think. The HR manager of FJ Styles once received help from Fu ChunHua to get into FJ, so right when Fu Meixu needed to get into FJ, Fu ChunHua went to meet him.
She didn't just convince or threaten him to make sure her daughter got in, she paid him off to get the work done.
He would be in trouble if he didn't succeed because he had already accepted her money out of greed. So right now, he was doing everything he could to get Fu Meixu the green card.
Since their Boss has permitted them to give out their opinions, everybody began to say their mind.
There was an argument about why a newbie was picked for such a big show as the FJ Styles Autumn Fashion Show, because in the history of FJ, they have never picked a newcomer in the industry, to model, so why would Fu Meixu's case be different.
"Even if she's the CEO's cousin, she is still not qualified for this. This is a big event we are talking about." The Marketing Manager said with q deep frown on her face.
"Exactly. People will think we are here to joke. Her profile is already looking at us, and telling us that she doesn't have the qualifications to be here." Another male Manager heading another department spoke. He was strongly against Fu Meixu being picked.
"If she is not picked, it wouldn't look good on the CEO's side, she is his cousin after all." Another manager not really in support of Fu Meixu said.
He was looking at another picture. He believed that if Fu Meixu wasn't picked, there was going to be a problem with how people saw things.
"And if she is selected with this kind of profile, it will not look good on the company's side. Her having reached this level is already a stain on the company's image. Have you thought of the bigger picture? We have to maintain our standard or go higher, not coming down to a lower level." The Marketing Manager said in a strong tone.
The Marketing Manager was a woman in her thirties, who had a strong personality. And because of the results she was bringing, she was quite respected. And she was currently the youngest manager FJ Styles had.
After watching them for a while, Liu Longwei decided to speak up.
"The truth is that whatever choice we make, People will still have an opinion because her resume has already been submitted. Had it been it wasn't submitted and hadn't gotten to this stage, there wouldn't be any need for this. So, what do you suggest we do in this situation?." Fu Hua asked as his gaze landed on the HR Manager before landing on the others.
At this point, YingPei who hadn't given any suggestion, raised his hand to ask for permission to speak. He was not a manager, but Fu Hua asked him to come for the meeting, and now he wanted to suggest much thought.
"Yes..." Fu Hua said as he gestured to him to speak up.
"Sorry to butt in. But since things have come to this, just accept her. No matter what we do, people will still talk. And things are not that simple as it looks, so just accept her."
"Huh?."
Everybody in the room was surprised by his suggestion because they didn't believe that he would give such suggestions.
The HR Manager was the only one that had a smile on his face, even though Fu Hua had not made the final decision.
Hushed voices were coming from the sides. Some of them were discussing the matter. Some disagreed, while the others were contemplating.
Fu Hua glanced at his brother before looking at everyone in the room.
"The models selected should come and have their measurements taken within three days."
Fu Hua's words have already sealed off everything. His words just now, meant that Fu Meixu has been accepted.
Most of the HOD's had disappointed looks on their faces, especially the Marketing Manager. She couldn't hide her emotions. The rest had nothing else to say since Fu Hua had already made his decision.
Before The HR Manager could finish rejoicing, Fu Hua glanced at him.
"The HR Manager is hereby forbidden to make the final suggestion when it comes to things like this. After making your pick during any form of employment, you are to meet the Marketing Manager for her suggestions, before meeting me."
After making the announcement, Fu Hua stood up and walked away with his assistant in toll.
His announcement caused the smile on the HR Manager's face to disappear.
Fu Hua had taken the right to make the final decision in his department away from him. So right now, he was just a normal employee in the HR department of FJ Styles. His title as the Manager was just an empty one.
The Marketing Manager gloated at his misfortune. YingPei smiled and walked out of the meeting room.
