Chapter 171: It’s not too late to mend the fold
The weather in Guangdong in May is changeable. It may be sunny and clear during the day, but dark clouds may gather at night and heavy rain may come in a flash.
At nine o'clock in the evening, in Longdong University Town, Orange Art Hotel, a romantic themed round bed room for couples.
A renaissance had just ended.
Wang Yuanpeng reached out and took off the black eye mask that Li Niantao was wearing. He took a deep breath and said, "Taozi, I want to discuss something with you."
"Speak..." Li Niantao lay there like a puddle of mud, the blush on her face still not fading, her peach blossom eyes flashing with a blurred and enchanting look.
Wang Yuanpeng reached out and took a cigarette and a lighter from the bedside table, then lit it while lying down. The smoke blew onto Li Niantao's charming face, and he said leisurely, "Next time, can you please not call me Third Brother's name? The louder you shout, the less I feel involved."
"How could that be?" Li Niantao raised her hand to support his lower abdomen, tilted her head back slightly, pursed her lips and gently blew away the smoke in front of her eyes, and said, "If I call you Jiang He, shouldn't you feel more involved?"
"Hmm?" Wang Yuanpeng's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Most of the men I've met like this tune."
Li Niantao said very frankly: "Chen Jianghe is your roommate and brother. My heart is his, but my body is yours. What could be more exciting than this?"
"Ha ha."
Wang Yuanpeng couldn't help laughing. This woman Li Niantao must have a mental illness. Third brother had never looked at her straight in the eye, but she was pretending to be very happy.
Li Niantao stretched out her hand and pinched his face, saying, "You, don't be so ungrateful. If Chen Jianghe hadn't ignored me, you wouldn't have had a chance."
"You and I are evenly matched, but there is a big gap between you and my third brother in rank." Wang Yuanpeng said in a calm voice.
Li Niantao smiled and said, "Actually, I want to know how many girlfriends he has."
Wang Yuanpeng flicked the ash from his cigarette, seemingly nonchalant, but actually secretly alert. He said calmly, "Why are you asking this? Do you want to find some evidence to disgust him? I advise you not to do this. Don't let him lose his love and you lose your future."
"Hehe, if I really have this idea, will you help him or me?" Li Niantao asked back.
"Emotionally, I stand on your side; in principle, I stand on the side of my brothers." Wang Yuanpeng responded without hesitation.
"You don't offend either side and treat everyone equally. You are really a 'loyal and righteous' scumbag." Li Niantao said.
"The word 'scumbag' is insulting and it is very inappropriate to describe me. In fact, I am a very loyal person. When I am nice to you, other girls are just a piece of shit in front of me." Wang Yuanpeng retorted disapprovingly.
"Ugh, you're disgusting."
Li Niantao stuck out her tongue, turned over and held Wang Yuanpeng down, and whispered in his ear: "You scumbag, feed me, and then tell me how many girlfriends Chen Jianghe has~"
The Orange Hotel was in turmoil again, but it was only a small storm. The real undercurrent occurred at the Shenzhen headquarters of 9527 Company.
The conversation between the company's top management and Ye Xiaorong, Wu Zhonghua and others lasted from around four in the afternoon until ten in the evening.
After nearly six hours of conversation, the company's vice president Hu Haijun followed President Deng Yongqing into the president's office. With a sullen face, he picked up a teacup on the desk and threw it to the ground to vent his anger: "Light chasers, light chasers, they don't care about 9527 at all, they only care about light chasers and Chen Jianghe! Damn it, we pay so much salary every month and support a bunch of ungrateful people!"
Deng Yongqing's face was not looking good either, but he was much more restrained than Hu Haijun. He tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Losing your temper won't solve any problems. Instead of smashing cups and throwing tantrums, why not sit down and think carefully about how to solve this problem?"
"I've said before that Chen Jianghe is ambitious. When Penguin Group got the first round of financing, we should have made up our minds to kick him out of the company." Hu Haijun said with a sullen face: "Now he has the support of Penguin and a group of determined business elites under him. He is completely out of control."
"In the final analysis, it's my fault for being soft-hearted at the beginning."
Deng Yongqing sighed, "But he is really amazing. For a college student from an ordinary second-tier university to be able to develop to this level in less than a year is beyond imagination."
Hearing this, Hu Haijun was a little unconvinced and said, "Brother Qing, you are too fond of talents. Without our 9527 company as a platform, Chen Jianghe is nothing."
Deng Yongqing raised his eyebrows and retorted, "You underestimate him too much. Without 9527, he can still choose other platforms. The Penguin Group's Strategic Investment Department sees this more clearly than we do."
Hu Haijun curled his lips. In fact, he admitted in his heart that Chen Jianghe was a rare talent . The reason why he verbally belittled and rejected him was mainly because he felt that the boy was too arrogant and a little conceited. He was neither in the same mind as the company nor the same kind of person as him.
At the last annual meeting, Chen Jianghe offended Hu Haijun in front of all the senior executives at the dinner table, and Hu Haijun has been holding a grudge against him ever since.
This time when talking with Ye Xiaorong and the others, their stubborn and stubborn personalities, who would not accept a toast but would drink a forfeit, were exactly the same as Chen Jianghe's in the past.
Hu Haijun became angrier and angrier, and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, I don't know what kind of magic potion this bastard Chen Jianghe has fed to his employees. They don't even care about the company's equity incentives, and they are all determined to work for him."
"Personal charm, management art, team culture, and high financial incentives, these are the golden rules for managers that he talked about in his last report. Didn't you listen carefully?" Deng Yongqing said.
"I thought he was bragging, but I didn't expect he really had it in him," said Hu Haijun.
“Only by learning from excellence can one become excellence.”
Deng Yongqing said seriously, "Since we can't incorporate the talents trained by Chen Jianghe into the company system, then we should expand the recruitment! Let all branches in the Pearl River Delta take action and recruit a large number of salesmen. We should learn from these excellent salesmen from the Light Chasers and compete with them, so as to form a situation where you catch up with me and promote each other."
When Hu Haijun heard this , his eyes suddenly lit up, but soon his expression dimmed again: "But the company's current financial situation is not ideal. Expanding recruitment will only make things worse, and the year-end profit target is even more daunting."
"If financing is not going smoothly, you can use a mortgage loan. It's better to give it a try than to sit and wait for failure."
Deng Yongqing said solemnly, "In fact, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Jianghe's recent actions have proved to us that taking root in the Pearl River Delta and stabilizing the rear areas is far more strategically valuable than targeting major cities across the country."
"We took too big a step before. It's not too late to back off now and make up for the loss."
