Chapter 2078
Although Jaylene was not the manager of the Perfume Blending Department, being Darcie's daughter
meant her placement in such a crucial department was no accident. Everyone was well aware of the
implications.
To put it plainly, Jaylene was practically the third manager of the Perfume Blending Department. Most
people did not dare to leave if she did not leave.
The workload of the Perfume Blending Department often meant working overtime until midnight during
busy periods. But there were also times when taking a holiday would not affect the workflow.
After the holiday, as the factory rushed to fulfill orders, the Perfume Blending Department was not as
busy. However, in the office, leaving work often depended on one's immediate superior. This was
especially important for newcomers like Jaylene, whose temperament was unknown. No one could be
sure that leaving before her would not be used against them in the future.
Jaylene's decision to work overtime until 8:00 p.m. meant that nearly everyone stayed except for a few
members of Unit B.
She did not seem to think anything was amiss and handed a document to her assistant, saying, Print
this out and distribute it to everyone. Tell them to fill it out and hand it in by tomorrow morning."
Upon receiving the document, everyone was taken aback and became even more silent. They had
thought it was something related to important work, but it was just personnel information registration
forms. In simple terms, these were almost the same as the ones from the Human Resource
Department, mainly focusing on their work experiences.
While it was not unreasonable for Jaylene, being new, to want to familiarize herself with her
subordinates, this information could easily be obtained from HR. The insistence on handwritten forms,
especially as a reason for her extended overtime, seemed pointless.
Everyone was aware that Jaylene had not displayed much skill upon joining the company. However,
her approach to relationships and her attitude were notably different from Darcie's.
Darcie's high reputation at Caline was closely tied to her emotional intelligence and management style.
The company took on an urgent and valuable order involving flammable materials one winter. Darcie
arranged for a 24-hour patrol team in the factory to prevent accidents.
During that period, while Darcie was taking inventory in the factory and chatting with the factory
manager, she happened to see the patrol team passing by.
In the dead of winter, everyone was wearing the factory's uniform and single-layer shoes, with their
hands and faces red from the cold. Darcie did not say anything at the time, but that very afternoon, she
contacted the garment factory to get a new batch of cotton clothing and boots made for all the workers
for outdoor work.
Such attention to detail could profoundly impact morale, whether seen as a gesture or a genuine act of
kindness. This nuanced approach to management was something Jaylene had yet to learn.
After work, Jaylene posted a picture of the Caline building at night in her group chat with her close
friends.
Soon, someone asked: [still not off work at this hour?]
Another asked: [Working so hard just after joining?]
Jaylene replied: [When I'm busy, time just flies by. Only when I get off work do I realize how dark it has
gotten.]
One of her friends replied: [I start feeling sleepy as soon as I get to the office, counting seconds to get
through the day. How can anyone feel work time flies by? Isn't that against the natural order?]
Another friend of hers added: [Didn't Stella also start working? I saw her going shopping at the mall
after work today, around five or six in the afternoon. How come she gets off work so early?]
Jaylene explained: [We have different positions. Stella is young and learns quickly, while I'm just a slow
starter.]
Her friend responded: [And you call yourself a slow starter? What does that make the rest of US?]
Another friend of Jaylene's added: [Some may have a great start in life, but without effort, it's all fornovelbin
nothing. Such a waste to have your dad's shares given to her. If it were in your hands, wouldn't Caline
soar?]
Aurora watched the continuous praise for Jaylene in the chat and then glanced at Stella, who was
playing cards with Keegan on the couch. She put down her phone and said, "Jaylene just got off work.
Looks like she has been working overtime till now."
Stella ignored Aurora and said to Keegan, "Hold on. Let me shuffle the deck, then you draw."
Keegan smirked and said, "Shuffle all you want; I'll definitely win."
Stella challenged and asked, "What if you don't?"
Keegan replied, "I'll transfer you ten thousand dollars."
Aurora was speechless at their conversation.
