After Qin Si finished his passionate speech, he did not forget to give another candidate, Wang Zhe, a provocative look.
When Qin Si stepped down from the stage, Wang Zhe stepped up. The two men's figures staggered and engaged in an invisible confrontation.
As soon as Wang Zhe came on stage, he was not as high-profile as Qin Si. He casually took out a USB flash drive from his trouser pocket, inserted it into the computer, and then adjusted the document information bit by bit.
Throughout the whole process, there was not a trace of high-profile or unruly behavior.
Some directors were less patient and began to urge: "Can you please hurry up? Our time is precious!"
But even such pressure from the top did not disrupt Wang Zhe's state. There was no panic on his face, and his hands' movements were not messed up at all because of the urging. He was still so calm and composed.
After Wang Zhe finally finished everything, he said to the audience, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. This time, I'm going to introduce to you the directors our sales department's overall sales and profit statement for this year..."
When it came to financial profits and the assets on the company's books, the directors sat up straight and prepared to listen carefully. After all, this involved the dividends and stocks that each of them could get from the company every year.
The directors are indifferent to all the affairs of the company, with one exception, that is the company's profits. They know how much money the company makes for them every year, how much money it loses, and where the losses come from. They almost want to trace the origins of every penny and every cent lost clearly.
Seeing that Wang Zhe easily diverted the directors' attention to him, Qin Si felt a little pressure in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his mentality. After all, he was a member of the Qin family, and the entire company belonged to them. Could it be that these old guys would not give his Qin family a bit of face and not choose him but choose someone else instead?
With such arrogant thoughts in mind, Qin Si sat in his seat and watched the entire talk carelessly.
After Wang Zhe finished his speech, the meeting host Li Dan began to summarize their statements.
"...Then, the directors can express their opinions and choose the candidates they are satisfied with."
A director sitting in the back spoke first. "I think it would be better to choose the marketing manager, Qin Si. After all, he's so young, yet he's elected to head the entire department. Someone so talented, so young and promising, is more suitable for the position of general manager."
One of the directors jumped out and said, "You're wrong. I think Manager Wang is more suitable for this position. After all, Manager Wang has worked tirelessly in the company for more than 20 years. Based on seniority, it's his turn."
Then someone refuted him: "The company is not a place where seniority is the key. You need to show real ability to take up a high position."
"Are you saying that Manager Wang is incompetent? Don't forget that over the years, whenever the company encountered a crisis, it was always Manager Wang who led the employees to solve the problem head-on..."
"But he is old after all, and he should give his position to the younger ones."
......
As the discussion went on, the two sides became increasingly incompatible and argued fiercely, with neither side able to convince the other.
Li Dan, who was chairing the meeting, noticed the atmosphere in the conference room was filled with a roaring and arguing atmosphere. She quickly stepped out to ease the situation. "Please be quiet! Directors, listen to me. Since everyone has their own opinions on choosing different candidates, why don't we vote on it later? What do you think?"
"I agree."
"no problem."
"If you vote, then vote. But how do you vote?"
Li Dan explained, "To protect the privacy of the directors, we've chosen a secret ballot system. I'll give you two cards later. The red one represents Manager Qin Si of the Marketing Department, and the green one represents Manager Wang Zhe of the Sales Department. Please remember them carefully and don't get them out."
"Brush, brush, brush,"
Li Dan quickly handed all the cards to each director one by one.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Li Dan said, "Now we will begin the vote. The timer is five minutes. I hope that all directors will consider carefully before voting."
After a while, all the directors in the meeting room were busy deciding who to vote for. Finally, at Li Dan's urging, they collected all the cards and began to count the votes.
"One red card, one green card..."
With every word Li Dan uttered, everyone's mind was firmly fixed on her.
"...The last one, the green card."
As Li Dan finished counting the votes, the results were about to be announced. Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked curiously at the display screen behind Li Dan. It was clearly written there that the number of each type of red cards and green cards was the same.
This disappointed everyone. They had thought that the answer would be revealed immediately and the person who would eventually take on the position of general manager would be selected, but now it turned out like this. Some directors with more impatient temperaments even slammed their hands on the table in the conference room to express their dissatisfaction.
"What should we do now? How can the number of votes be the same?!"
Li Dan waved his hand and said, "Please calm down, directors. There's something unexpected about the voting results. Manager Wang and Manager Qin both received the same number of votes. It seems their abilities are equally matched in all areas, making it difficult for the directors to decide. That's why the number of votes is so high. How about we have another round and give the choice to our colleagues at Tiansheng?"
In a corner, a rather shrill voice rang out: "You mean to let the company's employees choose?"
Li Dan nodded. "Yes, we've seen that in the minds of the directors, Manager Wang and Manager Qin are equally capable. But we can also look at their abilities among the employees. After all, a position as important as General Manager requires both the approval of the directors and the ability to interact with the employees. Both are essential for fulfilling Manager Zhong's responsibilities."
Some directors were persuaded by Li Dan's words, but others had other opinions: "If you keep going this way, we won't be able to finish this meeting today. I have to go abroad for business at four o'clock!"
