Chapter 482 Believe that the sun will rise
The next morning, at 8:30 a.m., I arrived at Mr. Chen's office promptly. The company's leadership was already there. Several branch managers stationed outside the company were taken aback when they saw me. I greeted everyone and sat down.
Mr. Chen said, "First, let me clarify one thing. Shanhong has always been the company's cultural advisor and vice president. We're going to have a meeting. Because we need to quickly start the development of Nanli Lot No. 3, the company's personnel must be quickly adjusted and put in place."
Lao Xiao has been transferred to the Nanli Project Department. Shan Hong will assist. Zhang Shiyu has been appointed Director of the Taiyi Mountain Scenic Area Management Office. I consulted with you on the phone yesterday. Please raise any objections.
Everyone was silent. I said, "I agree."
Mr. Cao said, "I agree."
Qing Ruo said, "I agree."
Several others also expressed their agreement.
Mr. Chen said, "Then Lao Xiao and Shan Hong, please stay. Let's discuss something first and then have a meeting later."
The others left their seats one after another. After they left, Mr. Chen said, "Lao Xiao, tell me about what happened yesterday."
Mr. Xiao said, "I called the town's Secretary Meng and told him I wanted to discuss the development of Lot 3. He was very enthusiastic and said it had been vacant for a long time and it was time to find a solution.
When I arrived, Secretary Meng, Mayor Feng, and a group of town leaders were waiting for me in a small conference room. I proposed building the school first, then developing the real estate.
They said that if Xu Ri could be so noble and upright, then this problem would be easily solved.
I said that there are some evil forces in every place. If someone finds an excuse to obstruct work and asks for exorbitant prices, we must ask the town to fully support them and deal with them as soon as they show up.
Secretary Meng stated that there will be no leniency. "That's the current situation. They'll report to the District Education Bureau and District Government and get back to us. It's just a formality, and it should be approved soon."
Mr. Chen said, "Shanhong, please share your opinion."
I asked, "Mr. Xiao, don't you know about the situation of that black-toothed dog?"
Lao Xiao blushed. "It was only one day yesterday, and I didn't have time to get to know him. I only knew his name was Qiao Bin."
I said, "Building a school is absolutely no problem. It's just that we must get to know Qiao Bin in advance."
Mr. Chen said, "Shanhong, you're still responsible for this matter. That night, the time was short and there were so many people around, so Secretary Tian didn't give a detailed introduction. You can ask him to give you a more detailed introduction."
I said, "That's fine. We have to fight a prepared battle anyway."
Mr. Chen took a sip of tea and said, "Let's start the meeting later. Shanhong will take the initiative to come up to the stage and say a few words. Then announce the personnel adjustments."
I nodded.
At this time, Secretary Ma came in and urged: "Mr. Chen, everyone is here."
Lao Xiao and Mr. Chen went straight to the podium, and I walked towards the first row. There was still a little commotion in the venue.
This was a meeting attended by all mid-level and above cadres. Lao Xiao presided over it, and General Manager Chen gave a speech.
Mr. Chen discussed the past two years and Sunrise's persistence in the face of adversity. He discussed the macro and micro environments and concluded: Sunrise has not collapsed.
He also described the challenges of the Nanli Lot 3 project, from the auction to the changing circumstances, and the relocation of the high-speed rail and airport to the south. He also reflected on some of his own mistakes in decision-making.
It's truly commendable that he didn't look for external reasons, but took full responsibility. Then he changed the subject, saying any difficulties were temporary and that the company had the ability to turn the current situation around.
As for how to reverse it, he didn't say. With anything confidential, the less we know, the better. Besides the three of us, only Qing Ruo and Shi Yu knew.
I was the one who suggested promoting Qing Ruo, and Shi Yu is my man. I guess he gave me some advice beforehand.
Finally, he said, "I want to reiterate here that Wan Shanhong has not left the company. His contract with the company is that of a consultant, and a consultant is someone who acts as a sounding board on important matters. He doesn't have to come to work. Anyone who has the ability to do so can also choose not to come to work."
There are different opinions within the company about the Bainiao Lake project. Some people say Wan Shanhong's suggestion is wrong. This is not his fault. The entire tourism industry is in a downturn.
We took advantage of this downturn in the market to build Bainiao Lake. According to Zhang Qingruo, it will be open to the public next spring. I just don't believe this epidemic will drag on forever."
Having said that, he punched the conference table.
Qing Ruo couldn't help but applaud, and everyone followed suit.
Mr. Chen spoke for another ten minutes. Everyone listened attentively and excitedly. They felt that Mr. Chen's words were very realistic. Jobs were hard to find these days, and everyone naturally hoped, as Mr. Chen said, that things would get better.
After he finished his report, there was warm applause.
Mr. Xiao said, "Mr. Chen gave an inspiring report. It made my blood boil. Difficulties are temporary and universal. We must see hope and light in times of difficulty."
He took a sip of tea and said, "Next on the agenda, please let Comrade Wan Shanhong speak."
After all, most of the comrades were my supporters. When I stood up, there was applause.
I walked to the podium and bowed to the audience.
"Dear leaders and friends, I have indeed not come to work for a while, but I am still taking care of company affairs. In the future, I will not be able to come to work every day. My hobby is Taoism, and what I pursue is also Taoism.
If everyone can understand, then so be it. If not, I don't necessarily demand unanimous approval. I practice Taoism while working. Fortunately, Mr. Chen, fearing I might starve to death, granted my shameless request (laughter).
A man will die for his friend. I, Wan Shanhong, may not be at work, but when it comes to going through fire and water, I never shirk my responsibility. For example, when the construction of Bainiao Lake was blocked, I was the first to rush to the front line.
There will undoubtedly be many difficulties in the upcoming development of Section 3 of Nanli Town. I can state my stance: I will charge forward without hesitation and will not be a coward!
After saying that, I didn't care and punched the table.
There was silence in the audience for a moment, and then suddenly there was a burst of warm applause.
The development of Lot 3 in Nanli Town has a bright future. Here, I would like to quote a great monk to answer everyone: Is there a tomorrow? Definitely. Is there a sun? Definitely. But can we see tomorrow's sun? No.
Just because we can't see the sun doesn't mean there won't be one tomorrow. So, we must fully believe that even though we may not see the sun tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, we must believe that the sun will always be there, and that light is just ahead. Thank you everyone."
This time the applause was even louder.
The meeting then announced new personnel appointments.
President Xiao concluded, "This conference was a meeting of unity, victory, consensus, and inspiration."
After the meeting, many people came to greet me and said that I spoke well.
After the meeting, I went straight into 1701 and looked at several rooms one by one. They were indeed clean and spotless.
At this time, the doorbell rang, I opened the door, and Qing Ruo walked in.
She went in to boil some water, hesitated for a moment, and called the floor attendant. When the attendant came in, Qing Ruo said, "Bring a few bottles of mineral water."
The waiter said, "Mr. Zhang, please take a seat. I'll cook it."
Qing Ruo sat down and gave me a thumbs-up. I knew what she meant. The people gossiping about me in the company were the branch managers. One of them was Mr. Chen's brother-in-law. He openly called me—Wan Shanhong—an 800-pound wild boar with only a powerful mouth. If I tried to become a manager at our branch, I'd probably cry.
I threw that punch just for them to see. "Brother-in-law, even if you're Mr. Chen's uncle, I don't take you seriously."
The waiter made tea and left.
Qing Ruo said, "You beat it well. Beat it a few more times next time. Did the branch achieve any results? Yes. Is it hard? Yes, it is, but I can't be superior to others. We work hard too."
They always say that Bainiao Lake was your bad idea, and that I, a woman, can't accomplish anything. If it weren't for Mr. Chen's trust, I would have left too."
I joked, "You want to learn Taoism too?"
She rolled her eyes at me and said, "If I were a man, I could study Taoism with you. Don't you know that some people are gossiping about you, saying that you always take care of me..."
I laughed out loud: "It's not that I'm taking care of you, but I have to be worthy of the more than 100,000 yuan a month."
At this time, Lao Xiao came in and said, "Master, will the sun come out tomorrow?"
"I don't know, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. But Qing Ruo will definitely get married, I can predict that."
Lao Xiao said, "Let's go to my villa for dinner. I asked Shiyu to make arrangements in advance and notify the employees to hold a meeting at 2:30 pm. Shanhong will announce on behalf of the company that Shiyu will take over the management of the scenic area. Qingruo, you can also go and help."
Qing Ruo asked, "Not Mr. Chen?"
"Boss Chen was mad at his brother-in-law, so I came out. But a good scolding would be helpful. He thinks he's worked hard and made great contributions to the branch. Boss Chen said someone else could do the job just as well."
We all laughed together.
I said, "It's better to call Mr. Chen."
After Lao Xiao hung up, he explained the situation. After getting Mr. Chen's permission, the three of them went downstairs.
The car drove towards Taiyi Scenic Area.
