Chapter 50: In Minghe, I have the final say
At Minghe, I have the final say
Nine o'clock in the morning, Minghe Capital.
Today is Monday, Minghe’s regular meeting time, and all positions above department head must attend.
When Wen Ruan followed He Zheng into the conference room, it was almost full. Everyone who should have been there was there, and no one had asked for leave.
Hearing the noise at the door, everyone subconsciously looked over there.
Minghe and Rongli are competitors. They have been fighting fiercely in recent years and have had many clashes. Wen Ruan is Rongli's gold medal investor. Almost everyone who works on projects or does business at Minghe has met her.
Whether it's at a dinner party, an industry summit, or some industry event...
Although I didn't have a close relationship with her, I had seen her face before. Now looking at the person in front of me, I felt that she had changed so much compared to last year.
Her dressing style hasn't changed much, it's still sophisticated and capable.
A white traditional Chinese style suit, a short-sleeved top, long pants, three-dimensional buttons at the waist, slim and thin style, high heels of the same color, slender figure, and perfect posture.
The low ponytail is the simplest and most challenging hairstyle for face shape. Most people can't pull it off, but she has a full head, a smooth face, three-dimensional brow bones, and impeccable facial features, so this hairstyle looks very beautiful.
The slightly exaggerated large diamond-shaped earrings are the finishing touch, adding a bit of heroic spirit and making the face look more superior.
Her whole temperament is different from last year. Wen Ruan is now more dazzling and more calm.
He Zheng glanced around and was very annoyed by the looks of the men present. Tsk, their eyes are almost popping out. Why don't they restrain themselves?
He is tall and strong, and when he puts on a cold face, he looks serious and indifferent, as if he is keeping people at a distance.
Everyone's eyes were originally looking back and forth at Wen Ruan, and finally they unconsciously glanced at the person next to her, because the aura of the person next to her was too strong.
As I looked back and forth, I couldn't help but compare them. These two are a perfect match in terms of height and appearance, but their temperaments are quite different.
Wen Ruan is pretty and pleasing to the eye, with a smile on her face. She is a pleasure to look at, and makes people want to take a closer look.
Although Mr. He is handsome, he looks arrogant and difficult to deal with. At this moment, he has a frown on his face, with a world-weary look that makes people dare not look at him a second time.
"Director Wen, please sit here." Yu Yang pulled out a chair for Wen Ruan.
"Thank you." Wen Ruan sat down sideways.
No one was surprised because ten minutes before the meeting, the Human Resources Department had already sent the appointment notice of Wen Ruan to the company's group, and Wen Ruan was appointed as the Investment Director of Investment Department 5.
The position she is sitting in now is the position of director of the fifth department.
She skipped the interview process and started working directly. She was recruited by the boss himself and personally picked up and reported for work. It was also awesome. She was the first employee in the entire Minghe Capital to receive such treatment.
He Zheng sat in the main seat.
Sitting next to him were Shen Yifan and several vice presidents, and Wen Ruan's seat was neither close nor far from him.
Today's meeting was chaired by Shen Yifan.
The first item of the meeting was to introduce Wen Ruan. This was the most important part of today and he was very well prepared.
With Wen Ruan's fame, she didn't need to introduce herself. He reviewed all the high-quality projects that Wen Ruan had done in Rongli before, picked out the key points to praise them, and finally when talking about Baiqing, he didn't forget to scold Rongli and boost morale at the same time.
"A shabby company that burns bridges after crossing them won't last long. We'll strive to acquire Rongli Capital within three years."
Everyone: "..." What a big tone! Rongli Capital is backed by the entire Rongli Group. You can just acquire it if you want?
but--
Everyone looked at the man in the main seat who looked intimidating without being angry, and thought to themselves, it seems not impossible.
This guy is the young master of Rongli Group. Not to mention Rongli Capital, as long as this young master is ambitious enough, he can even take over the entire group.
After finishing his impressive resume, Shen Yifan used a bunch of beautiful words to analyze the importance of Wen Ruanlaiminghe, and finally said:
"Wen Ruan was invited by President He after three visits. Her achievements at Rongli are obvious to all. Her joining Minghe is like adding wings to a tiger. From now on, she will be a member of our Minghe. Everyone, please give her a warm welcome."
He rushed to applaud.
The boss led the applause, and the conference room immediately erupted in thunderous applause. Wen Ruan stood up to greet them. Amidst the harmony, a discordant voice was heard.
"Mr. He."
The man in the white shirt behind Wen Ruan suddenly stood up. His face was heavy and his whole body was tense, as if he had mustered up a lot of courage.
"Didn't you say before that the position of Director of the Fifth Department would be filled through internal competition?"
Hearing the noise behind her, Wen Ruan didn't turn around. She looked at He Zheng calmly. He Zheng was also looking at her. When he saw her looking at him, he winked at her.
Wen Ruan also winked at him.
…
In the conference room, the applause gradually stopped and everyone looked towards the person who was speaking.
Deputy Director of Investment Department 5, Zhu Jiexiu.
Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with Zhu Jiexiu standing up at this time.
After all, Qian Wei, the previous investment director of the fifth department, resigned years ago, and his position has been vacant since then.
After Rong Li's celebration banquet, there were rumors that Mr. He wanted to poach Wen Ruan, but there was no movement and Wen Ruan disappeared.
The post-New Year period is the peak season for recruitment. Among the company's external recruitment positions, the only one not asked to recruit an investment director is that of an investment director. The fifth department is temporarily under the charge of deputy director Zhu Jiexiu.
Two voices later emerged in the company.
One theory is that it is an internal adjustment: because Department Five has always been at the bottom of the performance rankings, the higher-ups intend to remove the entire Department Five and assign the people in Department Five to the other four departments. In the future, the Investment Department will only have four teams.
Another way of saying it is internal competition: for the position of director of department five, deputy directors from department one to department five can participate in the competition, and the competition will be fair and the best candidates will be selected.
Later, someone tried to get Mr. Shen's opinion, and Mr. Shen said that Mr. He would not take away five departments, but he did not say anything else, so the voices of internal competition became louder and louder.
If it is really an internal competition, Zhu Jiexiu has done a good job in the past six months, and the five departments have been slowly improving. General Managers He and Shen also have a good opinion of him, and both say that he has the greatest hope.
Moreover, some of the vice presidents present had received gifts from him privately, and he had spent a lot of money for the position of director.
Now, Wen Ruan suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Moreover, Wen Ruan was a woman, two years younger than him.
After all the hard work for so long, it was all in vain. Coupled with my man's pride, I impulsively wanted to talk to the boss.
But you said that the boss has already issued the appointment order, it is a set thing, and he is welcoming the new director. Aren’t you looking for trouble if you stand up now?
Look at the gentleman sitting in the main seat, his face looks unhappy.
He Zheng leaned back, one hand resting on the table, his fingertips casually twirling a pen, and he looked at Zhu Jiexiu with emotionless eyes.
"Internal competition? When did I say that? Did I tell you that?"
Zhu Jiexiu was stunned, his face changed slightly, and he stammered, "You didn't tell me, but the company is spreading it..."
"Is it spreading everywhere?"
He Zheng interrupted him, put away the pen with a flick of his finger, and glanced around.
"Who spread that? Who ever heard me say something about an internal competition?" He held the pen between his slender knuckles and tapped the table twice, his voice lazy, "Stand up on your own."
Everyone looked at each other, no one dared to say a word, and no one stood up.
If you think about it carefully, Mr. He certainly didn't say this, so how did this get spread?
Oh, by the way, Mr. Shen.
I don't know who first spread the news of the internal competition. The key is that after the news came out, someone tried to contact Mr. Shen, and Mr. Shen didn't deny it.
Mr. Shen is the second-in-command of the company, and his attitude generally represents Mr. He's attitude, so everyone tacitly accepts that this is Mr. He's intention.
Everyone silently turned their gaze to Shen Yifan.
Shen Yifan received the meaning in their eyes and shrugged innocently, "I didn't deny it, and I didn't admit it either."
He turned sideways to look at Zhu Jiexiu, squinting his eyes and smiling.
"Jie Xiu, do you have any objections to Wen Ruan being appointed Director of Department 5? I've just talked about her previous achievements. Who do you think is more suitable than her?"
His voice was slow and soothing.
Zhu Jiexiu pursed his lips and took a deep breath, as if he had given it his all.
"I don't dare to object, but people say that she was fired by Rongli and came to Minghe with ulterior motives. She wanted to use Minghe to take revenge on Rongli."
"Besides, her relationship with her former boss...is unclear. Where did she get all those achievements before?...I don't know why President He insisted on having her come to Minghe, but if she comes, it will bring bad influence to the company. I don't want Minghe to be involved in a scandal because of her. I am thinking about both President He and Minghe..."
Facing He Zheng's gloomy face and increasingly gloomy and cold gaze, Zhu Jiexiu's voice became smaller and smaller.
Bang!
The pen in He Zheng's hand slipped and fell on the table with a sound that was neither loud nor soft. Zhu Jiexiu shuddered all over and shut up completely.
The huge conference room was completely silent.
Shen Yifan sighed in his heart, this kid is digging his own grave.
He Zheng's face was stern, and his sharp eyes were filled with the storm before a rainstorm. He was about to speak when Wen Ruan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly called him.
"Mr. He."
He Zheng turned to look at her.
Wen Ruan raised her delicate chin and asked with a smile, "I am the director of the fifth department now, right?"
Their eyes met, and He Zheng saw a hint in her eyes that said, "It's a small matter, I can handle it, don't help me first." His expression was still not good, but when he looked at her, he retracted the fierce aura around him.
"Of course, I appointed you personally. In Minghe, I have the final say."
When he said the last sentence, his eyes lightly swept over Zhu Jiexiu. Zhu Jiexiu's scalp tingled when he looked at him, and he hunched his shoulders and lowered his head.
"Then I am now officially on the job."
Wen Ruan pointed at Zhu Xiujie and asked He Zheng for instructions, "This Deputy Director Zhu is from my Fifth Department. Mr. He, could you give me five minutes so I can handle the internal conflict within the department?"
He Zheng leaned back and said slowly, "Okay."
There is a long solid wood conference table in the new Chinese style. The positions of those sitting next to the table all have "General Manager" in them, and the deputy department heads are in the back row.
In the eerie silence, Wen Ruan supported himself on the table with his hands, tapped the ground with his toes, turned back with his chair, and looked Zhu Jiexiu in the face.
"Your name is Zhu Jiexiu, right?"
On the way from Qingyue Mansion to the company, He Zheng showed her the information of all the people in the five departments.
Zhu Jiexiu was still standing, with a chair's distance between them. He looked at Wen Ruan and said, "Yes."
Wen Ruan nodded and mentioned what he had just said, "Her relationship with her former boss is unclear. How did she achieve all those achievements in the past? I don't know why President He insisted on having her come to Minghe..."
Wen Ruan repeated his three sentences and finally gave him a suggestion.
"Deputy Director Zhu, why bother being so euphemistic? Just say it directly. My previous achievements were thanks to climbing into Jiang Qingyan's bed, and now that I can come to Minghe, I'm climbing into President He's bed."
"Just tell me directly that you are not convinced that you lost to a woman like me who relied on her body to get ahead."
