Chapter 1051: State of Mind
After everyone was taken away, Song Chaoyuan's expression eased a lot, and he looked at the remaining people again.
Most of the people present
"Everyone find a seat by yourselves." Song Chaoyuan turned around and said this to the people behind him. Everyone kept silent when they heard it, and went forward one by one to sit down in the empty seats.
When they sat down, everyone tacitly adopted the seating arrangement that Song Chaoyuan had in the past. On Song Chaoyuan's left was Zheng Guoyuan, on his right was Sun Yaoliang, followed by Ying Annie, Lao Tang, Zhan Linhong, and so on...
Those who stayed behind also tactfully adjusted their seats and gave up the front seats to these old leaders. After everyone was seated, Song Chaoyuan looked at this scene, as if he had returned to the past when he was in Si Te.
"Han Yuewei!"
"Song... Mr. Song... I... I'm here!" Han Yuewei jumped up instantly as if a needle pricked his butt and responded quickly.
"As the vice president of the company, you are very incompetent and have failed to live up to the expectations that Old Tang had of you." Song Chaoyuan said this calmly.
"I...I..." Han Yuewei lowered his head in shame and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Now the company has decided to remove you from your position as vice president and demote you to acting director of the human resources department. Do you have any objection to this?"
Han Yuewei was stunned at first, and couldn't believe his ears. He originally thought that he was doomed like Zhu Weizhou and his group. Although he was not a member of Zhu Weizhou's faction, Han Yuewei had not performed his duties properly in the past year or so because of his self-protection mentality, and there were signs that he was in cahoots with Zhu Weizhou.
But now, although Song Chaoyuan had revoked his position as deputy general manager, he allowed him to continue to temporarily serve as the director of the Human Resources Department, which was tantamount to letting him off the hook. For a moment, Han Yuewei felt mixed emotions and was so excited that he was speechless.
"I... I have no objection... Mr. Song, thank you... Thank you so much... I... I was wrong, I was really wrong." Han Yuewei was about to cry. He was also in his forties and had struggled in the company for half his life. If he fell this time, the possibility of getting up again in the future would be very small. Now that Song Chaoyuan gave him a break, he was deeply moved.
"Xiao Han, your work ability is fine, but you must be reasonable and well-founded in everything you do. You must have a bottom line in your heart no matter who you are or what you do. As a senior manager of a company, it is absolutely not okay to just be a good person. Sometimes you have to think carefully about what you should do, and be worthy of your conscience and the trust of the company!"
"I... I understand, I will remember your teachings..." Han Yuewei nodded continuously, and the stone in his heart finally fell.
Song Chaoyuan then announced several appointments and dismissals, and either demoted or severely criticized several other directors and managers present. After the announcement, these people relaxed a lot, and were also grateful to Song Chaoyuan for not condemning them all at once.
In fact, Song Chaoyuan is not as magnanimous as he appears to be. According to Song Chaoyuan's idea, except for a few people, most of these people should be dismissed and expelled like Zhu Weizhuo and his gang just now.
Even though some of them are not Zhu Weizhuo's followers and have not expressed their support for Zhu Weizhuo in regular meetings and company decisions, the problem is that they have not clearly opposed him like Tao Tao and He Xiao, and have not argued with Zhu Weizhuo and others from the company's perspective.
It seemed that they had neither done anything wrong nor gained anything, but the problem was that their self-protective attitude actually fueled Zhu Weizhuo's desires, allowing him to gradually gain control of power in Si Te and eventually become the one who had the final say.
Sit is not a state-owned enterprise. Although it still has some state-owned shares, it is actually a private enterprise, and Sit is also the first joint venture in Jinling.
To put it bluntly, Song Chaoyuan is the real master of Si Te. Zhu Weizhou's tricks are a joke in front of Song Chaoyuan. He thinks he has the power as the general manager. He takes advantage of the fact that Song Chaoyuan has focused his main energy on Shenghua and ignored Si Te in recent years, and actually regards himself as the master of Si Te.
Zhu Weizhou put the cart before the horse and was doomed to fail. But then again, Song Chaoyuan was lucky to have discovered it early. If he hadn't suddenly decided to drive the family's two-wheeler out for a ride that day and happened to meet a young worker from the factory downstairs while repairing the car, Song Chaoyuan would probably still be in the dark.
If this were the case, and the situation got out of control, even if Song Chaoyuan directly dealt with Zhu Weizhuo and his men, Si Te would still suffer heavy losses.
It is not easy for a business to grow from nothing to such a large scale, but it is very easy to destroy a business. It may only take one wrong decision, or a year or half a year, and a thriving business will fall into trouble, lose its reputation and market, and eventually collapse.
Although Song Yuanchao has taken timely measures, figured out everything without causing major losses, and decisively dealt with Zhu Weizhou and his people, Song Yuanchao still has doubts in his heart. Zhu Weizhou is not stupid, so what good does he get from doing this? As the general manager of the company, Zhu Weizhou did something that harmed the interests of the company. Didn't he know the consequences of this? But he did it anyway. Is there something else he doesn't know?
Song Chaoyuan did not pursue the remaining people relentlessly. It was enough to deal with Zhu Weizhuo and his people now. Although the remaining people, including Han Yuewei, also had faults and their problems were very serious in some aspects, once all these people were dismissed, the management of Si Te would basically be gone, and the operation of the company would definitely fall into chaos. This was a result that Song Chaoyuan did not want to see.
Giving them a warning now and asking them to stay in their jobs and make meritorious contributions while serving their sentences is not only a way to stabilize the company internally, but also a helpless move by Song Chaoyuan.
However, once the internal reorganization of the Si Te is completed and more suitable people are in place, it is hard to say whether the Song Dynasty will settle this account with them.
Song Chaoyuan did not continue the meeting. After announcing these things, he asked everyone to go back and deal with the matters first. After all, the dismissal of the general manager and nearly half of the middle and senior management was a big deal in the company. The internal stability of the company must be done. After these people go back, they must stabilize the situation of each department and make a detailed description of the real situation of each department in the past two years, and then hand it over to Song Chaoyuan for reporting.
In addition, although Zhu Weizhou and others have been dealt with, are there still people at the grassroots level or others who were brought in by them through nepotism? Of course, there are. These people must also be investigated. Of course, Song Chaoyuan will not kill them all with one stick. For ordinary employees who came in through a serious work attitude and competent will continue to stay, otherwise they will be dealt with as they should be.
In addition, those original grassroots cadres and employees who had defected to Zhu Weizhuo would also be differentiated. To put it bluntly, Song Chaoyuan wanted to severely rectify the internal affairs of Si Te, completely eliminate the bad atmosphere and influence caused by Zhu Weizhuo in Si Te, and bring the company back on track.
Sun Yaoliang, Ying Annie, Gu Jie, Lao Tang, Lu Baogang and others were given the task at hand and were reassigned to new positions by Song Chaoyuan. With these reliable old people in charge, the subsequent work will probably go much more smoothly.
After Song Chaoyuan had made all the arrangements, and everyone left to take over the various departments of the company, Zheng Guoyuan and Song Chaoyuan were the only ones left in the meeting room.
When Song Chaoyuan was arranging positions in front, Zheng Guoyuan did not say anything. He just kept smoking without even raising his head.
Zheng Guoyuan felt very uncomfortable because Zhu Weizhou was his former subordinate and he became the general manager because of Zheng Guoyuan's recommendation. Zheng Guoyuan originally thought that he would hand over the job to Zhu Weizhou after retirement. With Zhu Weizhou 's ability, he would definitely be able to do a good job as the general manager, even if he just had to defend the city, at least he would live up to Zheng Guoyuan's expectations of him.
But who would have thought that he had raised an ungrateful person. The things that Zhu Weizhuo did after becoming the general manager were simply shocking. Today, he was almost forcibly taken away by Zhu Weizhuo's men. Zheng Guoyuan had been strong all his life. The proudest thing in his life was that he took over Si Te from Song Chaoyuan and led Si Te to become the largest food company in China. But now, the successor he carefully selected is such a person. How can Zheng Guoyuan hold his head up in front of Song Chaoyuan?
"Mr. Song, I apologize to you. I misjudged and recommended the wrong person. I have an unshirkable responsibility for Zhu Weizhuo's matter..." Zheng Guoyuan said to Song Chaoyuan sadly. Then he stood up and bowed solemnly to Song Yuanchao to apologize.
"Old Zheng, what are you doing? Don't do this!" Before he could bow, Song Chaoyuan hurriedly stopped him.
"Just let me finish this bow, I will feel really bad if I don't..." Zheng Guoyuan burst into tears. He didn't cry like this even when he was in the most difficult time, but what happened to Zhu Weizhuo today really hurt his heart.
He felt that he had failed Song Chaoyuan's instructions, failed Si Te who he had worked for for so many years, and even more failed the subordinates who followed him.
It was Old Tang who asked him to come to the company today. Before coming, Old Tang hinted at something to Zheng Guoyuan, but Zheng Guoyuan was skeptical at the time. He subconsciously thought that Old Tang might not understand the actual situation and was just hearsay. In his opinion, Zhu Weizhou should not be such a person. The reason why Zheng Guoyuan came with Old Tang was that on the one hand, he wanted to see the real situation of the company, and on the other hand, he wanted the facts to give him an answer. In his heart, he still tended to Zhu Weizhou.
But the facts dealt him a cruel blow. When Zhu Weizhou showed his true face, Zheng Guoyuan's heart collapsed. He couldn't understand how a good young man could become like this. He even doubted his own judgment for the first time.
"Old Zheng, don't feel too burdened by this. If you chose the wrong person and hired the wrong person, then who am I? It was you who recommended Zhu Weizhou, but I signed the decision to appoint him as general manager. If there is any responsibility, isn't my responsibility greater than yours?"
Patting Zheng Guoyuan on the shoulder, Song Chaoyuan spoke earnestly, saying that in less than an hour, Zheng Guoyuan seemed to have aged several years in an instant, which made Song Chaoyuan feel very uncomfortable.
"Mr. Song, I'm so sorry!" Zheng Guoyuan's tears fell. He held Song Chaoyuan's hand tightly, and his body trembled slightly.
"No need to say more... Old Zheng, let the past be the past and keep looking forward. How can a person's life be perfect? There are some things that we cannot predict, and it is not too late to discover them now."
