Vice President Ding's laughter at the dinner table seemed particularly abrupt, instantly drawing everyone's attention. Gao Zhiwei stared at him, his expression somewhat displeased.
“That’s probably not a good idea. I’ve clearly taken over Vice President Ding’s job. Besides, I no longer interfere in any company affairs. Even if I were to interfere, it would require the board’s approval.” Lu Feng put down his chopsticks as he spoke.
“Mr. Lu is right. Jiaming Foods now belongs to the entire board of directors, not just anyone.” Vice President Ding picked up a cigarette from the table, lit it, and said, “Mr. Gao, I understand that you don’t understand marketing. I’ve been in marketing for many years. No one can turn things around overnight. It’s all about accumulating experience little by little.”
Gao Zhiwei was very unhappy to hear this. He had gone to great lengths to invite Lu Feng over, and now Vice President Ding was arguing with him.
"Vice President Ding, if you've finished your meal, you should go back to the hotel and rest," Gao Zhiwei said to him.
"President Gao, you've allowed an outsider to interfere in internal management without the board's permission. If a major mistake occurs, can you bear the responsibility?" Vice President Ding questioned.
"President Lu is not an outsider; President Lu is the founder!!!"
“The founder’s company is no longer solely his own; there is a board of directors making decisions. He can exercise his voting rights on the board, but he has no right to interfere with internal management, especially decisions that affect the company’s direction, such as marketing,” Vice President Ding retorted firmly.
After finishing his sentence, Vice President Ding looked at Lu Feng with an arrogant air and said, "President Lu, I apologize for being blunt, please don't take it to heart. If you think I'm not up to the task, you can convene a board meeting and fire me after a vote!"
Gao Zhiwei slammed his fist on the table in anger, stood up, and shouted, "Don't think you can't be fired!"
"Go ahead and do it!" Vice President Ding leaned back in his chair, a forced smile on his face. "You can let him interfere. If he messes it up, at the first board meeting after the New Year, it won't be me who gets fired, it will be you. How many times can he protect you?"
Gao Zhiwei's eyes widened in anger. It seemed that he had angered the vice president quite a bit in the past six months. He looked at Lu Feng and said, "President Lu, he doesn't believe you!"
“You founded Jiaming Foods, and I’ve heard a bit about you, but times have changed. You’re not in charge of Jiaming Foods anymore. If you think you’re really capable, you can show me what you’ve got.” Vice President Ding took a puff of his cigarette and tapped the ash into the ashtray. “Don’t blame me for not warning you. If you mess this up, President Gao will really be kicked out.”
The atmosphere at the scene instantly plummeted to freezing point. Director Li sat to the side, seemingly wanting to offer some words of advice, but he opened his mouth without uttering a sound.
Everyone here is a big shot; he's just a small factory manager. He should just stay put.
Lu Feng looked the two of them over, then suddenly laughed and said, "Are you two putting on a show for me? It's not convenient for me to interfere in Jia Mei's affairs. Besides, I'm back for the New Year, not to go back to work."
“No, Mr. Lu…” Gao Zhiwei said helplessly.
"Alright, that's enough. Have you all finished eating? If you have, I'm going to rest now," Lu Feng asked.
"Well... let's go to the hotel first," Gao Zhiwei said helplessly. "We've booked the Tianyue Grand Hotel."
Lu Feng nodded, stood up, exchanged a few polite words with everyone, and left the private room. Vice President Ding watched Lu Feng leave, then sat there and sneered disdainfully.
"Mr. Ding, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Factory Director Li couldn't help but ask, "After all, he is the founder."
"So what if he's the founder? Gao Zhiwei should have been fired six months ago. Lu Feng is just someone who rose to prominence by taking advantage of the situation. Think about it, when was Jiaming founded? What was the environment like a few years ago? Anyone could have taken off if they had seized the opportunity." Vice President Ding said while smoking, "Don't think too highly of him. Gao Zhiwei wasn't fired because a few board members gave Lu Feng face."
“You’re right. When it comes to a person, it’s all about opportunity, ability, and the support of a mentor. When these three are combined, they can really rise to the top.” Factory Director Li smiled at Vice President Ding and said, “President Ding, someone like you just needs the right opportunity.”
Vice President Ding wholeheartedly agreed with this statement, believing that the opportunity was just around the corner.
On the way to Tianyue Hotel, Gao Zhiwei kept talking to Lu Feng about Vice President Ding, saying that in the past six months he had witnessed what it meant for a petty person to gain power.
I'm so angry I could grind my teeth!
In an effort to oust Gao Zhiwei, Vice President Ding has been forming cliques and factions, and now some people within the company are determined to follow him.
"What future do you think such a company has? As the founder, what are you thinking right now?" Gao Zhiwei wanted to provoke Lu Feng.
Lu Feng glanced at him calmly and said, "I want to sell that 30% stake."
Gao Zhiwei:............
The car stopped in front of the Tianyue Hotel. Lu Feng got out of the car and looked at the seven-story hotel, which used to be so dazzling, but now looked so ordinary.
"How about this, tell me what your ideas are, and I'll put them into practice," Gao Zhiwei said, following behind him.
Lu Feng stepped into the hotel, where two rows of attendants bowed in unison and said, "Welcome to Tianyue Hotel."
"Oh, Mr. Lu?"
The lobby manager was overjoyed to see Lu Feng. She jogged over in her high heels, her face beaming with smiles, and grabbed Lu Feng's arm, saying, "It's been so long since I've seen you. I heard you went to develop your career in the south?"
Lu Feng pulled his hand away, looked at her and said, "I'm staying here for one night, I've booked a room."
Seeing that the elegantly dressed lobby manager seemed to know Lu Feng very well, Jiang Xiaoyan asked, "You two are quite familiar with each other?"
