Chapter 507: No Woman in My Heart, Draw the Sword of Nature
The news that President Ma was stranded in New York quickly spread back to China. The group of senior executives who were originally prepared to file a complaint and seek an explanation could only swarm outside the president's office, waiting to meet President Liu Chiping.
The boss chose to take the cold approach for the first time, so the second in command has to give an explanation, otherwise how can he lead this team.
Among them, Ren Xingyu was the most excited.
President's Office
Liu Chiping supported his chin with his hands in an "eight" shape, staring at the computer, sliding the mouse with his free hand, not looking at Ren Xingyu who was making an impassioned speech.
"Boss Liu, we all know what you and Boss Ma are going to do. Without destruction, there is no construction. The development of the group has reached a bottleneck, so let Liang Fei break this situation. After all, we have worked in the workplace for so many years, we all understand and support it, but, everything should be done step by step, right?"
"Boss Liu, please say something."
Liu Chiping finally moved his gaze from the computer screen to Ren Xingyu. This Hong Kong native who spoke excellent Mandarin did not show any emotional fluctuations at all.
"Mr. Ren, what do you want to say?"
Ren Xingyu took a deep breath and said bluntly: "In the business group under my jurisdiction, every colleague has his own duties. They work overtime every day and have no time. It is impossible to lend Liang Fei to work on a project alone. That's what I mean."
Liu Chiping suddenly realized something and knocked on the table with his hands stretched out: "I don't quite understand."
Ren Xingyu was stunned: "What don't you understand?"
"What do you mean by that?" Liu Chiping looked up at Ren Xingyu. "Employees are employees of the group, not retainers of a certain person. If they are, they are also employees of Mr. Ma. What do you mean by holding on to them?"
Liu Chiping said this with a smile, as if he was joking, but Ren Xingyu remained silent.
"It's up to you. If you're willing to lend, then lend. If you're willing to help, then help. Anyway, everyone knows what's going on inside the group right now."
Liu Chiping smiled and said to Ren Xingyu: "Don't be too anxious, go out first and let everyone else go back. I'm very busy."
Ren Xingyu walked out of the president's office with a very bad look on his face. Several senior executives outside came to greet him and asked, "What do you mean, what did President Liu say?"
“No direct answer.”
Ren Xingyu shook his head, then looked at everyone again: "Anyway, I'm telling you, I won't lend it to anyone in Liang Fei."
Everyone looked at each other and reached a consensus.
"I won't lend it to you either."
"This is ridiculous and outrageous. Such unreasonable things have never happened since the day the group was founded!"
"Can……"
A senior vice president hesitated and said, "Whether this is done openly or secretly, it is equivalent to opposing the general manager's office. Have you thought about it?"
Ren Xingyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Look at the average time when the group gets off work during the working day. Who has time to accompany Liang Fei to make trouble? As long as the employees have enough work on hand and can't finish it, no one will be able to accompany Liang Fei to make trouble."
What a great idea.
Ever since the email that shocked the entire group was sent out, everyone has been waiting to see what Liang Fei, the youngest senior executive vice president in history, is up to. The backbone elites of each major business group also received personal greetings from their superiors almost at the same time.
We are all smart people. Science students may be a little bit stubborn, but they are definitely not stupid. After a few words, they understood the hidden meaning of their superiors.
No one would risk their own future for Liang Fei's illusory goal, so Liang Fei stayed in the office in front of the computer for the whole day and did not receive any self-recommendation emails.
"The power and influence of big corporations is really scary."
There is no pattern at all.
Someone will definitely say, that’s impossible, he is a senior executive of Penguin Technologies, one of the top Internet elites, how could he argue with a youngster like you, you must have done something wrong.
Throughout history, there have been many cases of families being destroyed and nations being ruined because of the short-sightedness of the elites and their selfishness.
So who is Liang Fei’s biggest enemy? It is not those senior executives who resist him, but those bootlickers who blindly worship power and elites.
Although licking dogs are weak, the barking of countless licking dogs can also hurt your ears.
This is the situation, and it will not be improved in a short period of time. Liang Fei seems quite indifferent, as if nothing has happened, and is busy with the club's affairs first.
When you are away from home, you can be frugal with food and drink, but you can't let yourself go when it comes to having fun. To put it bluntly, Liang Fei has reached the point where his spiritual needs outweigh his material needs.
"Men are reluctant to spend a thousand dollars on a meal, but they won't even blink when they pay a thousand dollars as a tip ."
"Look at those people online who persuade girls to spend money. They need copywriting and brainwashing. How much effort it takes. But men are willing to pay for any product as long as it is paired with a beautiful woman. For example, if you buy a car and get a saleswoman for free, do you want the saleswoman's black stockings and thighs? You want the car's excellent performance."
In the car on the way to the club, Liang Fei was sitting with his legs crossed and talking, but Tang Ruijie, who was sitting next to him, had a worried look on her face.
"Boss Liang, how can you still have the time to buy a club? We are in urgent need of help."
Looking at the relaxed Liang Fei, Tang Ruijie even felt a little disappointed: "Someone in the group's senior management is obviously trying to exclude you. How can you not be anxious? This is not like you. When you were at Light Year Technology..."
"I say..." Liang Fei interrupted Tang Ruijie and asked slowly, "If I don't work now, will my annual salary be reduced?"
"Well, it seems not."
"Then why should I be in such a hurry? I can get paid even if I don't work. What's wrong with me being lazy and doing nothing?" Liang Fei taught Tang Ruijie, "We are not our own bosses now. We work for others. Why should we work so hard for others? The money earned by working hard is not money. It's called hard work pay. Only the money earned by being lazy and doing nothing is called money!"
Tang Ruijie was stunned: "But Mr. Liang, it's okay for us to just do some work, after all, the salary is just that little, and you make hundreds of millions a year!"
"Who said that people with annual salaries of hundreds of millions can't slack off?"
Secretary Xiao Tang was unable to refute for a moment.
"Relax, Xiao Tang." Liang Fei knew that Tang Ruijie was worried about her, but many people, including Tang Ruijie, still didn't understand the significance of Liang Fei as the senior executive vice president.
"Xiao Ma asked me to activate this group. Although I never expected him to be so prepared, it's actually quite difficult for him. No founder wants to see the company he founded gradually degenerate. But let me tell you, people are very strange . Sometimes, high spirits really only exist at the age of twenty."
"After the age of twenty, people lose their youthfulness. Do you know what the essence of online literature is? It's what readers like to see the most, the youthfulness of the protagonist, the high spirits and the boldness..."
Tang Ruijie muttered, "That sounds nice, but you should still focus on the club."
"Baga, Tang-chan, you are getting more and more courageous. I'm dead!"
“…”
In fact, there is no need to worry at all. What if no one comes to participate in the project? This is only temporary. Penguin Technology has tens of thousands of employees, plus so many outsourced personnel. Who can manage it?
Can it be completely controlled after those senior executives secretly pass it on to each other?
Playing with power, right? Liang Fei does not have any base, but he holds a title and a righteousness that no one can deny. He is the senior executive vice president who was approved by the board of directors and has the full support of the bigwigs above. He has all the powers granted to the chief executive by the group.
This is just the beginning.
At night, the Binghai Building is brightly lit.
This building represents the country's top Internet companies. Since its completion, the lights seem to have never been turned off, and there are many employees who have not left work until one o'clock in the morning.
When the elevator door opens, young people, mostly exhausted and with cloudy eyes, walk out of the building silently, some waiting for a taxi, some standing by the bus stop, looking down at their mobile phones, enjoying a moment of leisure on the way home.
Some people were talking in groups of three or four.
"Hey, Liang Fei said he was going to do some project, is there anyone around you who wants to go?"
"No, everyone knows it. Who would dare to go if the higher-ups have given the order? When the project is over and you come back, you will lose your position. Only a fool would go."
"That's right, it's really strange. What do you think the big bosses are thinking? If they want Liang Fei to show his strength, they should give him a specific business group to be in charge of. That email clearly shows that they want Liang Fei to compete with the bosses. Tsk, I feel like the group is going to be in turmoil."
IEG, Interactive Entertainment Group
Li Chengliang is a formal employee at the T2.2 level. He shifted his gaze away from the computer screen and looked up at the director's office.
"Hey, is Mr. Zhang still here?" Li Chengliang nudged his colleague who was dozing off next to him. They would probably have to work all night, so everyone had just eaten something and were preparing to take a short nap before getting up to work again.
The colleague who was lying on the table slowly got up and rubbed his eyes: "He's here, right? You finally couldn't help but go find him?"
Li Chengliang looked hesitant, his hand unconsciously placed on the mouse again, clicking aimlessly, mumbling: "Logically speaking, I have passed every assessment, and I have enough years, so I should be promoted to level 3 before the New Year, but it has been so long and the director has not mentioned it. You know, I just bought a house and I am getting ready to get married, so getting more salary is really important."
The colleague lowered his head and put on his glasses, looked around, moved his office chair to Li Chengliang's side, leaned over and whispered: "I have a senior in the human resources department. Our group's personnel assessment has actually passed a long time ago. Your level 3 is a sure thing. Do you know why you didn't get promoted?"
Li Chengliang shook his head.
"Alas, the connections have been replaced. There are only two designated promotions each year. The first half of the year is over. You can only wait until the end of the year."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengliang immediately became annoyed: "I've been pushed out once before, and I thought about it and let it go that time. After all, he's a big shot, so why is he here again this time!?"
Li Chengliang became more and more angry as he spoke. He took off his glasses and threw them heavily on the table. He lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose. He said in a heavy tone: "I have already told the director that I am under great financial pressure recently. I hope he can give it more consideration. I also listened to you and expressed my gratitude to Mr. Zhang. The total amount of the gifts is enough for me to pay the mortgage for two months!"
"Hush."
A colleague held Li Chengliang's shoulder and said, "It's the same everywhere. You didn't graduate from Shenzhen University, nor did you get promoted from within. Who will speak up for you? Just be patient. Besides, your salary is not low now. They know how to do things and won't keep dragging it out. I think you will definitely get a promotion by the end of the year. Just be patient for another half a year."
"What if I get married?"
"Go back and discuss it with your girlfriend and delay it."
"If I delay any longer, I'll lose my girlfriend!" Li Chengliang sighed. "I'm really exhausted all day long. I go to sleep when I get home and go to work as soon as I open my eyes. My girlfriend doesn't say anything, but she must be feeling wronged. Besides, she earns a lot of money herself, but I, sigh..."
I can’t say any more, only a long feeling of regret.
Seeing Li Chengliang's anxious and worried look, his colleagues could only comfort him: "Why don't you go and talk to the director again while he's still here? The project has been going smoothly recently. You've performed so well, maybe he'll agree?"
Li Chengliang thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. He put on his glasses again and stood up and said, "I'll go try it."
"etc."
A colleague called Li Chengliang, opened a drawer, took out a box of cosmetics and handed it to him: "I bought this for my wife. You can take it and say it's for the director's wife. Remember to return it to me when the time comes."
Li Chengliang pursed his lips as he took the cosmetics, and said with great gratitude: "Lao He, thank you."
"Oh, we've been colleagues for so many years, and now we're talking about this." Lao He waved his hand and dozed off on the table again.
Li Chengliang walked to the director's office carrying a cosmetics box and knocked on the door gently.
"Enter."
After getting permission, Li Chengliang gently pushed open the door and greeted Mr. Zhang with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you are still busy so late, you have worked hard."
"Xiao Li."
Mr. Zhang had obviously just drunk some wine and was lying on the sofa to sober up. He slowly got up and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Oh, this is it."
Li Chengliang put the cosmetics on the table, put his hands in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's just a little gift. You can bring it to your sister-in-law when you have time."
Mr. Zhang glanced at the cosmetics and smiled: "That's why I always say that our group's employee benefits are the best in the industry. This brand is not cheap, right? Xiao Li has made a lot of money over the years."
"Thanks to Mr. Zhang for his support. Thanks to Mr. Zhang for his support."
Seeing that Mr. Zhang was in a good mood, Li Chengliang paused and asked cautiously: "Mr. Zhang, I have been working at my current level for quite some time, so it stands to reason..."
"Xiao Li!"
Mr. Zhang stood up and sat at his desk. He began to deal with the matter in an official tone: "The group has a complete process for promotion. I know you are qualified and I am helping you apply. But it is not easy. As you know, there have been frequent personnel changes in the group recently. Some things will be delayed and some people will be wronged. Wait a little longer. When there is a vacancy, I will definitely recommend you first."
Li Chengliang didn't say anything. His eyes were fixed on the promotion recommendation form on his desk. The name of the person was a newcomer from the next group.
Mr. Zhang glanced at Li Chengliang, put the recommendation form in the drawer, rubbed his face and said, "It's okay, you can go back and rest first. It's really hard recently. I will allow you to come to work later tomorrow and have a good sleep."
Li Chengliang walked out of the office silently, woke up Lao He, and went out to smoke.
The wind was strong in the middle of the night. Li Chengliang tightened his clothes, took a deep puff of cigarette, and looked at Lao He: "Hey, if the executive director Liang Fei wants to promote someone, it will be very easy."
"Of course."
Lao He lowered his head and stamped his feet to keep warm. He took the cigarette from the corner of his mouth and muttered, "Even if he has nothing, the power of the executive director is real. At our level, he can make the decision directly. Who can say no? He is directly responsible to the general manager's office."
Li Chengliang nodded: "I understand."
Old He came back to his senses, patted his swollen head, and looked at Li Chengliang: "Hey, don't do anything. If you really go and hang out with Liang Fei, it will be difficult to come back, and Liang Fei may not want you."
"I want to try it."
Li Chengliang put out his cigarette: "I want to decorate the house and get married."
After saying that, Li Chengliang turned around and went back to the office, opened the internal OA and sent an email to Liang Fei. There was only a short sentence in it: Mr. Liang, I am Li Chengliang from IEG, and I would like to join your team.
After sending the email, Li Chengliang leaned back in his chair, anxiously waiting for a reply. When he glanced at the time in the lower right corner of his computer, he immediately amused himself.
It's two o'clock. Which big boss would still be awake? Who has time to reply to an email from a small employee?
Ding Dong...
A slight reminder sound through the headphones made Li Chengliang sit up straight suddenly. He clicked on the unread email, which also contained only a short sentence: Welcome, report to my office tomorrow.
call……
Li Chengliang let out a long sigh and looked at Lao He who was also surprised. "You see, he is indeed different from other CEOs. He is young, and he must be thinking about how to break the deadlock, so he is still awake so late."
Lao He stroked his unshaven chin and agreed, "It's not without reason that he holds a high position at such a young age."
Yunsui Business Club
It must be that the fairy in heaven was drunk and smashed the white clouds into pieces.
An extremely modern and luxurious box with top-notch sound and lighting effects. Looking out from the glass wall on one side, there is also a large open-air balcony, overlooking the dazzling night view.
The hot female DJ wearing a suspender skirt is moving her body to the violent music. A dozen beautiful and slim girls wearing little clothing are twisting their youthful and lively bodies on the dance floor.
Zhang Xiaohu shouted at Liang Fei, "Xiao Liang, this is too exciting. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for someone my age?"
Liang Fei also shouted in response: "Brother, young people are playing like this now, you should also be younger in your mentality. These are all college students, let them teach you how to dance. Hey, this place is not bad!?"
"Yes, yes, absolutely!"
After saying that, Zhang Xiaohu looked at Xu Guyong who was surrounded by a dozen girls. Old Xu had taken off his shirt, revealing his strong upper body, and let the girls spray the champagne that had been held full of air on him.
"Xiao Liang, Mr. Xu is so happy!"
"Brother, don't just stand there, join us!"
Three men and many women were dancing wildly and yet they were able to have a conversation in the noisy environment.
Xu Guyong: "Brother, you are alone and have no help, what should you do?!"
Liang Fei: "It's okay. There isn't much else in Binghai Building. Temporary workers are the most. If you promise a regular employee position, everyone will be scrambling to get it!"
"Is this true? Regular employees don't make much money in a year!!!"
"It's okay, they earn less as temporary workers!!"
Temporary workers, give your hearts to me!!!
