Director Wang had been the deputy director of the business office for five years and the director for another five years. He had long wanted to move up a half-level.
This time, the provincial branch proposed a method for leaders at all levels of branches to compete for positions, which gave him an idea.
Unfortunately, the person with the best public support among the middle-level leaders of the branch is Li Cheng, and the person with the worst public support among the deputy presidents is Deputy President Fu. Even if they compete for the position, the person with the greatest hope of becoming deputy president can only be Li Cheng.
As for President Hou and Yan Hua, their positions are unshakable.
Since President Hou took office as president, the branch has done a good job in all aspects of its work, especially in handling bad debts. With the support of Li Cheng, the branch is ahead of other sister branches.
What can best stabilize President Hou's position is that the branch has recently given out a lot of bonuses, so employees with voting rights will actively vote for President Hou.
People are selfish. They will support whoever can give them more benefits. This is a simple and plain truth.
As for Yan Hua, after she became the office director, the branch experienced a qualitative leap in both office environment and hardware. This was especially true of the cafeteria that Li Cheng had built. Although it was Li Cheng who built it, it was also with the strong support of Director Yan Hua.
In this case, although everyone knows that it was Li Cheng who helped Yan Hua behind the scenes, if someone else became the office director and Li Cheng was unwilling to help him, you would have no way to deal with it, right?
It now seems that as long as the position is promoted through competition, as long as Li Cheng signs up to compete for the branch leader position, he will surely become the deputy president.
But contrary to his wishes, Li Cheng was not qualified to compete for the leadership position of the branch.
The competition rules state that those who compete for branch leadership positions must have worked in a mid-level management position for at least three years.
Damn, Li Cheng hasn't even been the director of the credit department for a full year! This rule blocks Li Cheng's path to becoming the branch leader.
Director Wang knew this rule, so he felt he still had hope. However, this hope was very small, almost negligible.
Why would Director Wang have such an idea? Wasn't Li Cheng not qualified for the position?
That starts with some news Director Wang heard from his subordinates.
Director Wang has over forty people working for him, most of them women. With so many women, there's a lot of talk. As a result, the sales department is flooded with all sorts of gossip every day.
Ever since the news of the competitive recruitment broke, all sorts of rumors had been flying around everywhere. If you listened to them for a while, you would be completely confused and not know what to do.
Director Wang has been immersed in these news that are difficult to distinguish between true and false every day recently. Although it is also a headache to listen to them, he has gradually figured out one thing that is certain and that is that most people in the branch hope that Li Cheng will be the deputy president.
This is public opinion! Although the rules are just rules, if everyone in the branch unanimously hopes that Li Cheng will be the vice president, it is estimated that the leaders of the municipal branch and the provincial branch will also consider this matter.
Thinking of Li Cheng's methods of doing things and his unpredictable thoughts, Director Wang had no choice but to reduce his hopes of getting promoted again and again, so as to avoid the situation where the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, which would make him feel uncomfortable.
Li Cheng was still looking at him and smiling. Director Wang smiled awkwardly and said, "Director Li, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Director Wang, don't you have any ideas about this competition?"
When Director Wang heard this, his face immediately became full of black lines. He thought to himself, without you, I might still have hope, but with you... my hope is very slim.
After holding it in for a long time, Director Wang suddenly blurted out, "Li Cheng, Director Li, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me."
Li Cheng chuckled and said, "Okay, your words are enough. Director Wang, when you become the vice president, just don't forget me."
Director Wang was stunned, his eyes wide as if they were cow's, staring at Li Cheng intently.
What I meant was that Li Cheng should not forget me after he became the vice president, so how did it become that I should not forget him?
"Director Li, what do you mean?"
Li Cheng frowned and said, "What do you mean? I just want to remind you not to forget me when you become the vice president."
Director Wang felt dizzy for a moment, but he already understood that Li Cheng wanted him to compete for the position of Vice President. This was not important. What was important was that Li Cheng's words implied that he could definitely become Vice President. Could it be that...
"Li Cheng, are you saying I'll definitely become the vice president? Haven't you heard those rumors?"
"What's that rumor?"
"That's it..." Director Wang repeated to Li Cheng what he had heard and summarized.
Li Cheng just smiled after hearing this, glanced at the rostrum, and then said, "Since you said it was a rumor, do you still believe it?"
Director Wang thought to himself that he didn't believe in rumors, but it was hard to say now that it involved you.
Li Cheng continued, "You just said that public opinion is like this. In fact, public opinion can be a guide. For example, I said that Director Wang has worked diligently for many years as the director of the sales department. He is calm and measured in his work, and he has managed a department that is difficult to manage in an orderly manner. This is an achievement, and this is your ability, Director Wang.
I'm just saying, this branch needs honest people like you who don't care about gains and losses and work hard. If we have any conscience, we can't let honest people suffer losses or make them sweat and cry. Believe it or not, it won't be long before everyone in our branch says the same thing."
How could Director Wang not believe it? Even if he didn't, he had to believe it.
But it turned out that he was right to believe what Li Cheng said.
