Zhao Ritian looked. A man came in, in his thirties or forties, looking quite imposing.
Zhao Ritian narrowed his eyes: "Who might Your Excellency be? Why did you attack me?"
The three people on the side pursed their lips, not making a sound.
The man said: "Just call me Erge."
"Hehe, my, Zhao Ritian's, one 'Erge,' I wonder if you can bear it!"
*Slap!* A big slap!
Zhao Ritian covered his face, looking shocked.
"Where's all this nonsense from? Sit down, meeting."
Zhao Ritian looked at him: "You dare hit me? You actually dare hit me?!"
The three people still didn't speak, just watched.
*Slap!* Another big slap!
Zhao Ritian was completely stunned.
"Told you to sit down for a meeting! Got chicken feathers in your ears?"
Zhao Ritian gritted his teeth: "I'll fight you to the death! Ah—!"
*Slap!* Another big slap.
This one was hard. Zhao Ritian was slapped against the wall.
Erge pointed at him and said angrily: "Just despicable! Didn't even want to beat you, just be obedient and it's fine!"
Zhao Ritian leaped up: "I'll fight you to the death, ah—!"
Three minutes later.
Zhao Ritian, bruised and swollen, sat at the table and even asked Che Qi Tianwang: "Do I need to take notes for the meeting?"
...
Lu Chengwen was in the conference room listening to reports from various departments.
Good news came frequently.
Firstly, all residents of the original shantytown had moved into new houses.
Those who passed away during this period were also basically all allocated for. The property was inherited by their legally designated heirs.
It could be said, the most difficult moment of the shantytown project had passed.
For Dasheng Group, it was also a great good thing.
Lu Chengwen's arrogant return, touching the Publicity Director's thigh, the stock immediately rebounded, not only saving tens of billions in losses, but also making the pre-sale houses in several residential areas extremely popular.
Leng Qingqiu, at this time, officially unveiled and started selling two new property developments. The promotional videos were shot extremely grandly. The entire Xuecheng was covered with outdoor advertisements for Chengwen District.
Chengwen District began to make money, to profit.
Using the earned money to continue investing in other projects, the financial pressure was greatly relieved.
In this process, it was thanks to Li Meiqin and Leng Qingqiu, as well as the Zhou Zheng he promoted.
The three were like a troika, each performing their duties, each making outstanding contributions.
Leng Qingqiu, needless to say, although she only participated in management in the middle of the project, she showed her genius attribute as soon as she started.
Quickly figured out all the key links of the entire project group, grasped important data, won over important talents, handled key checkpoints, smoothed important relationships, ensuring the orderly progress of the entire project group.
It could be said, Leng Qingqiu's participation was the biggest contributor to the steady progress of this project in the mid-to-late stages.
Next was Li Meiqin.
Li Meiqin also endured a lot. This period of almost half a year was truly hard to describe for her.
Her own position was consolidated and strengthened. When she was almost unable to hold on, Leng Qingqiu entered the field to share the pressure.
To outsiders, it seemed her power was taken away.
But she herself knew very well, she was about to be unable to hold on.
*The boss really doesn't care about anything!*
Except for some work that required communication with superiors, big figures, she didn't have that much face.
And what they wanted wasn't Li Meiqin's favor, but Lu Chengwen's favor. So, the boss had to show his face.
Her kneeling to them was useless. One call from Lu Chengwen, and the other side would immediately say:
"Aiya Boss Lu, this little thing, for us brothers, is definitely no problem! Just let Meiqin tell me is fine!"
In fact, she couldn't even meet them.
It had to be you, Lu Chengwen, personally calling, having a communication with you, letting you understand, this is giving you, Lu Chengwen, face.
How to repay in the future depends on your character.
Besides this, Li Meiqin was basically the project's chief executive.
And Zhou Zheng was also impartial and incorruptible.
After being promoted by Lu Chengwen, it could be said the losses he alone recovered, a rough estimate would be at least in the tens of billions!
This kind of thing was immeasurable.
Because he was responsible for checking the accounts. The harder he checked, the more impartial, the cleaner the accounts, the less capital was lost.
On the contrary, if he turned a blind eye, or he also skimmed money...
Then this project group would be completely unstoppable. The money might have been insufficient in the middle stage.
Zhou Zheng was impartial and incorruptible, had visited the old chairman Lu Guanghong several times.
Lu Guanghong received him at home, his wife personally cooked.
Zhou Zheng proposed his opinion, said Lu Chengwen valued him, but many of Boss Lu's management methods, and his disrespect for subordinates, were hard for him to accept.
He was considering resigning.
Lu Guanghong gently told him: "Little Zhou ah, whatever choice you make, I will support you. You are my old subordinate. You should have been promoted back then. Because I was indecisive, and the power structure within Dasheng Group was too complex then, so it was delayed."
"This matter, I'm sorry to you. If you want to jump ship, I'll go talk to Chengwen, we'll write you a recommendation letter. Dasheng Group's recommendation letter can guarantee you, wherever you go, an annual salary of several million is stable."
Zhou Zheng was instead embarrassed, repeatedly saying he was very loyal to Dasheng Group, just couldn't get along with Lu Chengwen.
Lu Guanghong, however, laughed heartily: "Do you know, promoting you was Chengwen's idea, and I disagreed."
Zhou Zheng was very surprised.
He thought the old chairman had always felt guilty towards him, he could feel that.
And he himself had always worked hard to repay the old chairman's kindness in recognizing his talent.
But hearing this news today, he was very surprised.
*The old chairman actually never wanted to promote me!?*
Lu Guanghong said: "Because you, this person, are too upright. Such a large enterprise, the accounts can't possibly be that clean. Some departments, some positions, some special people... must secretly eat some into their stomachs."
"If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If you don't let them eat, they will be hungry. A starved mad dog will bite people."
"If you are in charge of account review, everyone will definitely have nothing to eat. At that time, they will hate you, and also hate me."
"And Dasheng Group's unity is much more important than that little money. Do you understand?"
Zhou Zheng didn't understand anymore: "Then... Boss Lu, why did he..."
"This is where he is stronger than me." Lu Guanghong said: "Actually, you are the same kind of person."
Zhou Zheng felt it was incredible. *Me and Lu Chengwen are the same kind of person!?*
*He fought and picked up girls in school. After starting work, picked up girls, bought luxury cars, went drag racing with people...*
*I am humble and polite to others, he beats and scolds his subordinates;*
*I work diligently, conscientiously, he works by fits and starts, wishes there were over three hundred holidays a year...*
*How are we the same kind of person?*
But Lu Guanghong said to Zhou Zheng:
"You are both people who, having chosen the right path, don't care about others' opinions. You won't let people off the hook in the accounts for fear of offending them. He also, as long as it's the right decision, won't care about others' opinions and views."
Lu Guanghong sighed: "I didn't promote you because I lacked decisiveness. But Chengwen personally told me, Uncle Zhou Zheng is a respectable senior, his talent should be allowed to bloom. Even if not in Dasheng Group, he should have his own stage. He shouldn't be shelved."
"So, he promoted you against my opposition."
Lu Guanghong said: "If you insist on leaving, I'll go talk to Chengwen, he will accept it."
The chairman's wife personally cooked, the Chen family's eldest young miss enthusiastically accompanied, the old chairman spoke heart-to-heart...
The key was, in the end, completely respecting you, free to leave or stay, and the favor is always there.
Zhou Zheng was upright, but not stupid.
He knew this was a big figure's art of using people. But, high-IQ figures just fall for this set.
The other party clearly hopes you stay, but did not force you, did not morally kidnap you, nor tempted with benefits, nor said harsh words to shut your mouth...
And this kind of home banquet reception really gave him enough face.
Zhou Zheng immediately stated his position, would work hard, assist Lu Chengwen in completing the Chengwen District project, then make a decision.
To this day, Zhou Zheng was simply the biggest hero behind the Chengwen District project.
Without him, perhaps all matters would have developed in another state.
Just if the mid-term funding chain had broken, all subsequent departments, all positions, all construction teams... their work status, efficiency would have been greatly affected.
And precisely because of this, Zhou Zheng could be said to have offended quite a few people.
Such a big project, you watch the accounts so tightly, everyone can't get black money, and no way to make you join their corrupt ways. Who to hate if not you?
However, at the meeting, Lu Chengwen heavily rewarded Li Meiqin.
Gave her a good house, plus a fifty million bonus.
But towards Zhou Zheng, Lu Chengwen instead gave no special reward.
The meeting dispersed. Lu Chengwen had Jiang Shihan ask Zhou Zheng to come to his office.
Zhou Zheng misunderstood, thought *when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog should be cooked.*
The Chengwen District project had already entered the right track, the huge pressure from the initial stage had been relieved.
And he had recently offended so many people. They would definitely be whispering in Lu Chengwen's ear, saying he was bad this way, bad that way.
Hearing it often, naturally it would be taken to heart.
Getting rid of him at this time, everyone would be happy.
*Kill me one, can win the hearts of all high-level executives, why not do it?*
Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly, pushed open the door to Lu Chengwen's office.
He knew his work at Dasheng Group was over.
He brought all the materials, prepared for the handover.
*I, Zhou Zheng!*
*Came clean, leave clean.*
*Won't be angry with you, anyway my conscience is clear.*
*Clarify the accounts with you, then I'll turn and leave gracefully.*
*In this life, I've done right by the old chairman, right by Dasheng Group, and also right by you, Boss Lu.*
*Enough.*
But he didn't expect, as soon as he entered, Lu Chengwen immediately stood up, trotted to him, with a face full of enthusiastic smiles, proactively grasped Zhou Zheng's hand with both hands.
"Uncle Zhou, quick quick quick, please come in."
"Boss... Boss Lu, you are..."
"Hi, no one else here, you can just call me Little Lu."
"This... how can this be, you are Boss Lu, I am just a..."
"You are a senior, and also an elder. I'm just a brat. Even my father is extremely respectful to you, where would I dare be presumptuous?"
Zhou Zheng was confused: "You... aren't you going to... fire me?"
