"Mr. Yard, if you have some free time today, it would be beneficial for you to familiarize yourself with the company. It's important to know the different departments and their functions. Otherwise, it may hinder effective communication in the future, don't you think?" Brandon Sandler pulled Christopher Yard aside and whispered in his ear, as if he knew what Yard was thinking. Christopher Yard's face showed a hint of embarrassment upon hearing this. After dealing with the board of directors' affairs, he had wanted to leave immediately. However, Sandler's words made sense. As the chairman, it would be embarrassing if Yard didn't even have a basic understanding of the company. He might find himself in an awkward position during meetings. "Well, Mr. Sandler, please arrange for someone to show me around then," Yard said, touching his nose. He did have some free time now, so he might as well take a look. Sandler breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Yard's agreement. He was afraid that Yard wouldn't be willing to go. He had started to understand Yard's character, and if Yard had refused, there would have been no way to persuade him. "Mr. Yard, if you don't mind, I'll have Liliana Queen accompany you. On one hand, there are many things in the company that require my attention, and on the other hand, the employees may still have some doubts about my return." Sandler smiled respectfully and said to Yard. Yard nodded, and then followed Liliana Queen to the lower floors. Liliana Queen was naturally delighted. She knew that the more she helped Yard, the greater the benefits for her. Perhaps if Yard was pleased, he would reduce her punishment a little more? Liliana Queen introduced everything to Yard, and Yard listened attentively. When he heard certain things, his brows furrowed momentarily. "You said half of the people in the research and development department have left?" A look of astonishment appeared on Yard's face. He hadn't expected that Zion Watson in the research and development department had such influence, directly taking away half of the staff. Liliana Queen nodded helplessly and said, "It's somewhat related to the Gu family. Many people in our department were brought in by the previous HR manager. They were responsible for recruitment, and I didn't interfere with that." "Now that the HR manager has left, many people from the HR department, the marketing department, and even the research and development department have also left. In total, about fifty people have gone." Upon hearing the number fifty, Yard raised an eyebrow. It seemed that the Gu family had already planned to secretly take over Guoyi even before Yard's arrival. If he hadn't suddenly appeared, Guoyi would have been in serious trouble. After a brief moment of contemplation, Yard realized that there was no time to hire new people. He could only turn to Harold Myers. Previously, Yard didn't want to ask Myers for help because even if Guoyi was successful, they would still be serving Myers. But now things were different. When Guoyi cooperated with Haiji Group, it no longer mattered who the new hires would be serving. The focus was on how to make money. "Mr. Yard, Mr. Sandler has already instructed the HR department to recruit new people as soon as possible. We can also offer better salary conditions," Liliana Queen reported. "Inform Harold Myers about the specific situation regarding the staff shortage in the company. I will also call him later to see how many people he can send over," Yard instructed. While discussing with Liliana Queen, Yard arrived at the research and development department. He noticed that there were indeed fewer people here, with half of the seats empty. After gathering some information from Liliana Queen, Yard was about to leave when someone suddenly approached them. When this person saw Yard, their face immediately lit up with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Yard. Our department just received an email from the assistant supervisor of the HR department, which included your photo. I am Ma Xiong, the team leader of the research and development department. I am currently managing the affairs of the department," Ma Xiong said eagerly, extending their hand to Yard. Yard was taken aback but shook hands with Ma Xiong. "The R&D department manager has already left. Thank you for temporarily managing the department." "It's no trouble at all, Mr. Yard. Is there anything you would like to know?" Ma Xiong asked, shaking their head. After a quick glance, Yard decided not to continue looking. "No, I've seen most of the departments. I have other matters to attend to. There's so much to do, so please carry on with your work!"Yard also shook his head and took out his phone, walking to a less crowded area. Liliana Queen didn't dare to interrupt Yard's phone call and simply watched him, patiently waiting for him to finish. Naturally, Yard had to call Harold Myers. The current staff shortage in the company was indeed a major problem that needed to be resolved as soon as possible. Just as Yard was making a phone call at the entrance of the R&D department, a person suddenly appeared, holding a resume and many documents in their hand, and walked towards the front desk of the R&D department. At that moment, Yard happened to be at the front desk as well. After the person handed the items to the adjacent front desk, they noticed Yard and their face showed a slightly gloomy expression. During the last class reunion, this person was overshadowed by Yard. It turned out that this individual was the manager of the Thumbs-Up restaurant where they had dinner. It was a blow to their ego, losing face in front of their classmates. It seemed that this person's restaurant couldn't survive. Charging 1000 yuan for a bowl of soup, it would be a miracle if they could stay in business. And now they even came for an interview at Guoyi Limited's R&D department, truly clueless about their own capabilities. In Albert Robbins' opinion, only idiots or morons would set such a price for a bowl of soup. No sane person would do that. Daring to compete with him, Albert Robbins, for a position, this person who couldn't even run a restaurant. How dare they come and compete with him? Albert Robbins and Yard were classmates in the same class. They both studied computer software in school, including that C language-related stuff, which they naturally learned. Unfortunately, although Yard was somewhat capable, when it came to programming, he couldn't compare to Albert Robbins. In the C language exam, Albert Robbins was the top student in the class. The R&D department needed someone who could code. On the contrary, Christopher Yard's grades were not the worst, but they ranked among the lowest ten in the class. Reflecting on this, Albert Robbins felt a sense of contentment. At last, there would come a day when Christopher Yard would be below him.
