Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

As Ling Qingyu followed Sergeant Mi's guidance, showing around where and what the officers were doing. Of course, those weren't meant for secrets. She had left out the important rooms and Ling Qingyu understood, without having any emotions.

After all, even if the police officers were friendly to her and she treated them well, secrets and boundaries must be there. A relationship wouldn't work without those.

Before reaching the destination, Ling Qingyu stopped and Sergeant Mi also stopped as well. Her face showed embarrassment.

Ling Qingyu paused for a while before motioning Sergeant Mi to continue and the two resumed their footsteps.

The reason why Ling Qingyu stopped in her tracks was the harsh scoldings coming from one of the rooms. In any case, military and police culture remained the same of scolding their subordinates, since the groups weren't corporate culture from the beginning. Find adventures on empire

However, Ling Qingyu disagreed with the idea of scolding and expressing abusive remarks, even if the receivers were subordinates or nothing of value.

Didn't she know, that most of the ones who scolded others would fawn a false smile and praise the powerful to curry a favor so that their path toward the higher ladder became easier?

She knew. She understood but that was part of the society. Many people and great legends tried to change but to no avail. At least, it was comforting to know such behaviors were patronized and thrown into a hidden rule instead of being supported by the public in the light.

Shaking her head, Ling Qingyu asked: "Sergeant Mi, what do you think of the man's behavior?"

Sergeant Mi smiled and shook her head without saying a word. How dared she comment on what the superiors did?

She didn't want to leave a handle that might cost her career and become an eyesore to the people above.

Although Sergeant Mi knew Ling Qingyu would never speak about her words, it was better to leave nothing rather than at the mercy of others.

Ling Qingyu understood Sergeant Mi's behavior and didn't change her opinion about the female officer. As a sergeant, there was no way the policewoman could ignore the rules in officialdom.

"Personally, I have never scolded my workers, even if the reason for dissatisfaction lies with employees' condition." Ling Qingyu continued her monologue while Sergeant Mi perked her ears. "First notification and warning of their progress with elements of teaching. Second warning if it happens again and shows some dissatisfaction. Third, get out."

Ling Qingyu: "Of course, in the police force and military, we can't equate everything. But you get my meaning."

Sergeant Mi nodded. Ling Qingyu's words were the utopia in a workspace. She had no idea whether her words were true but Ling Qingyu had no reason to lie to her.

However, it seemed strange, the frightening Ling Qingyu was actually better in treatment regarding her workers compared to other hypocritical businesspeople.

"However, I seemed to have heard the ways generals encourage their soldiers. Someone famous, I don't remember who, since I don't pay attention. I'm making you laugh…Ahem. Treat your soldiers as sons, and they'll give everything it takes in return."

Ling Qingyu said sons because most if not nearly all combat units were males. Of course, there were always exceptions. Like one general in French Foreign Legion was a female. She had fought alongside men during the Second World War, escaping from encirclements numerous times.

Not sure if such characters still existed in this world, Ling Qingyu knew these types of people would be present all the time, even if they were under different names.

"Well, it's true. By your logic, scolding harshly isn't a good way to solve problems in military and police." Sergeant Mi added.

"Of course not. Haven't you heard of a saying—spare the cane, spoil the child?" Ling Qingyu asked. "I'm not encouraging using violence but we need a measure to remind people that there are consequences for bad choices and bad deeds. Otherwise, no one will have a long memory."

"It's true. I have a headache with my daughter." Sergeant Mi shook her head wryly. "Every time, I said something harsh, she would sneak away and bring an educational paper, stating no violence against children every time, making me, blue and speechless. She even threatens to call 110."

"Pfft! I would say she's a clever girl to grasp a big handle." Ling Qingyu joked. "How old is she?"

"6 years old."

"Woah! I never expected you to have a child a long ago." Ling Qingyu was amazed. "How do you manage your career with families? No offense, but I never expect you to already have a child. You look so young."

"Thank you, Ms. Ling." Sergeant Mi was happy inside. "But my daughter is the best. Though she's naughty at times, I find her very cute."

Blah…Blah…Blah.

Ling Qingyu listened to Sergeant Mi's words without boredom. Sometimes, hearing stories from ordinary people was part of life.

"Ahem…I'm sorry. I talk too much, Ms. Ling." Sergeant Mi blushed. Ling Qingyu didn't care. Motherhood energy was always the best.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Why do you think scolding is bad in the workplace?" Sergeant Mi asked curiously.

"It's exactly an example of bad leadership, most of the time." Ling Qingyu sighed. "For instance, in most cases, leaders scold their subordinates to lessen their guilt or they don't want to bear the heavy pressure and let it out to the surroundings. You might have experienced them and felt puzzled, wronged because you've done nothing wrong."

Sergeant Mi reminisced about some past events and nodded.

"A true leader will never pass on the stress he or she bears. They are more like mentors, passing on experiences and guidelines." Ling Qingyu continued. "The top-to-down, passing on pressure, usually found in corporate culture is very unhealthy for employees' mental state. In fact, instead of scolding, showing disappointment and how much you expect from your subordinates usually work like a gem."

"Why do you think your subordinates cherish and respect you? It's not fear, not coercion; it's a mutual advancement and cohesion as a team."

Sergeant Mi also patiently listened to Ling Qingyu's thoughts. She never expected a cold ruthless businesswoman to be a philosophical thinker. Her psychology almost collapsed as her view had now turned upside down.

At the same time, she sighed Ling Qingyu's success wasn't without reason. The ability to leverage people to her will and her understanding of human mentality was in her traits. Despite negative descriptions in public, for instance, Ling Qingyu's deeds were feared by many in her circle, Ling Qingyu did extremely well for her employees.

As a police officer, Sergeant Mi found Ling Qingyu showed favors toward them and had no right to comment on Ling Qingyu's fierce reputation

"We've arrived." Sergeant Mi pointed at the open door. "The door on the right belongs to our deputy chief, Cai Ning. I'm sure you've known her."

"Well, indeed. Sister Cai usually visits my home with your Chief Yang." Ling Qingyu nodded.

Perhaps, Cai Ning noticed someone observing her and turned her head. She saw a female sergeant accompanying a woman in civilian clothes, drawing her interest. Hmm, this woman seemed similar. Wasn't this one Ling Qingyu?

Ling Qingyu waved her hand and smiled, not forgetting to remove her sunglasses. She pointed at Yang Qingyue's room to tell Cai Ning about her purpose.

Cai Ning, holding her phone with her shoulder while her hands were grappling around, nodded imperceptibly and continued her work.

"Thank you, Sergeant Mi. I'll knock the door myself." Ling Qingyu said. "It's tiring for you to help me and listen to my rubbish."

"Of course not, Ms. Ling. I learn a lot from you. I really do. Then, please excuse me. I bet the girls on the ground floor might be speaking behind my back if I don't return." Sergeant Mi smiled and walked away.

"And I'm hundred percent sure these girls will flatter you." Ling Qingyu chuckled and knocked the door.

"Come in." A short silence before an ethereal voice uttered from inside.
