I still looked at Liu Ao very "calmly", but Li Yang asked with shock: "Manager Chen, do you mean that Zhuomei's senior management is going to do something to their new CEO?"

Liu Ao nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, Zhuomei is a family business, you should have heard of it." ”

Li Yang and I nodded at the same time, if it wasn't a family business, how could Zhang Rixuan be the CEO of such a big shopping mall at the age of 26, but I don't know what Zhang Rixuan's status is in this family.

Liu Ao continued: "More than 2 years ago, when Zhang Quan, the founder of Zhuomei, went to Shanghai to attend a business meeting, he was seriously rear-ended with a truck that broke down on the highway without warning signs, and unfortunately died, and then Zhuomei has been managed by his younger brother Zhang De, but Zhang Quan also has a daughter, who has been studying in the United States for several years, and only returned to China a few days ago, that is, Zhuomei's newly appointed SY (Zhang Rixuan) ......"

Before Liu Ao finished speaking, I interrupted and asked, "Manager, is it his uncle Zhang De who wants to do something to Betsy?"

Liu Ao smiled and said: "It's obviously him, he has been the nominal chairman of Zhuomei for the past few years, and now that Zhang Quan's daughter has returned to China, his status will definitely be threatened, and he is used to staying in a high place, and it will be difficult to let him go down again!"

I said indignantly: "This old boy is too beastly, Zhuo Mei was originally his brother's, and now his brother died unexpectedly, leaving such an orphan, he can bear to do it as an uncle!!"

Liu Ao waved his hand and said to me with a serious face: "The rights and wrongs in these family businesses are not something that we outsiders need to worry about, what we need to do now is to seize this opportunity, suppress Zhuomei, and become the leader of Suzhou's department store industry." ”

Li Yang nodded in agreement, I had no words, but there was an inexplicable anger in my heart that was difficult to suppress.

Liu Ao continued to say to us: "This is the matter that Manager Li of the Investment Promotion Department of Zhuomei and I talked about this matter this morning, next month there are two international first-line brands and Zhuomei's lease contracts expire, Zhang De has instructed the Manager Li of the Investment Promotion Department to be dissatisfied with the management of the current CEO on the grounds that he is dissatisfied with the management of the current CEO, and then use this as a reason to join the board of directors to attack Zhang Quan's daughter and force her to transfer her shares in Zhuomei to achieve her goal of completely monopolizing Zhuomei." ”

I sighed in shock again, and said, "This is too ruthless, I'm willing to cut off my own arm, and I want to take the ownership of Zhuomei!"

This really shocked me, if Zhuomei's investment manager really jumped to our Baoli with two international first-line brands, then our Baoli will reach 10 international first-line brands, and Zhuomei only has 9 left, everyone understands the importance of international first-line brands to the top department stores, even if Zhang De really gets the ownership of Zhuomei, but the price is huge!

Liu Ao smiled and said, " Zhang De wants to completely take the ownership of Zhuomei must make such a ruthless move, there are many Zhang Quan's cronies in the board of directors, they all support Zhang Quan's daughter, if Manager Li is dissatisfied with the current CEO's management style on the grounds that he has brought two international first-line brands to join us Baoli, it is a serious management accident caused by the CEO, such a management accident has affected the foundation of the enterprise, and the original supporters will also be shaken, when the board of directors collectively presses, Zhang Rixuan wants not to hand over the management and ownership is difficult!"

Li Yang, who had been silent, finally asked Liu Ao at this time: "Is Zhang De really not afraid that Zhuomei will be greatly injured from now on and be surpassed by our Baoli in one fell swoop?"

I simply replied instead of Liu Ao, and said: "Even if he is surpassed by Baoli, he Zhang De is still the supreme leader of Zhuomei, if Zhang Quan's daughter is still in Zhuomei, he will be replaced sooner or later, a leader who has been in a high position for many years, is used to being high, how can he be willing to live under the fence." ”

Liu Ao nodded in approval of my words and continued: " Human nature is like this, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us Baoli, but Zhang De is not such a simple character, I heard that there will be an overseas capital injection into Zhuomei in the near future, Zhuomei's Nanjing store and Shanghai store are already preparing to open, their strategic hinterland is not only Suzhou, but a larger market, and even if you lose two first-line brands, with Zhuomei's popularity in Suzhou for so many years, it will not easily collapse, Zhang De has a hole card in his hand, so he dares to do this, as long as he can successfully solve Zhang Quan's daughter this time, he will sit firmly in the country, compared to it is still worth the risk！”

Li Yang and I both fell into silence, even if we have worked for many years, the war and cruelty in the mall have never been presented in front of us as much as today, at this moment I understand that there are really rules in the workplace or shopping mall, those of us at the bottom want to be on top, relying on hard work and the ability to grasp opportunities, while the top is playing with mental tricks, this kind of mental tricks make me afraid from the heart, and the ugliness of human nature is magnified several times under the kind of mental tricks.

Liu Ao finally made himself a cup of tea at this time, took a sip, and said to me and Li Yang: "You are subordinates who have been with me for several years, and you are all the objects I am ready to focus on cultivating, especially Li Yang, I see potential in you, so I will share this matter with you as the company's top secret, the purpose is to hope that you can seize this opportunity, while creating value for the company, but also achieve your own breakthrough, this promotion plan, you two must perform well, understand?"

Li Yang nodded solemnly, but I was immersed in a certain emotion and was in a trance.

"What about you, Jiaming?" Liu Ao asked, looking at me again.

Li Yang pushed me, and I calmed down and said to Liu Ao: "I also understand. ”

......

Coming out of Liu Ao's office, Li Yang immediately dragged me to the staff rest room, lowered his voice and asked me, "Jiaming, Liu Ao still doesn't know your relationship with Zhang Rixuan, right?"

"Nonsense, he wants to know that I know Zhang Rixuan, and he can still tell me about it. ”

Li Yang nodded, and said with a serious face: "You can't reveal this matter to Zhang Rixuan anyway, and don't talk about your work prospects, you can't reveal Liu Ao's kindness to us, and you can't reveal it to Zhang Rixuan, you know?"

I didn't respond to Li Yang, still in a trance.

"Jiaming, you have to distinguish the importance, this matter is not a joke, even if Zhang Rixuan is really your girlfriend, you have to keep this matter to the death, and you can't leak a word. ”

I suddenly became angry, glared at Li Yang and said angrily: "Are you human, you can't look at this matter from Zhang Rixuan's point of view, a woman who has lost her father and is lonely and miserable, and now she is being calculated by her own uncle and taking away her father's property, how bitter she is!"

Li Yang covered my mouth tightly, still suppressed his voice, and said to me nervously: "You be quiet, this is a power struggle between their high-ranking people, not a small person like us can participate in it, this matter is not only related to the interests of the company, but also Liu Ao's personal future, and even the two of us, if you say it, are you worthy of Liu Ao's trust?"

I finally silenced, Liu Ao does have the grace of knowing me and Li Yang, if this matter really ends with Zhuomei's investment manager entering our Baoli with two first-line brands, Liu Ao, as the biggest hero, will at least be promoted to the deputy general manager level by the company's senior management, and Li Yang and I will benefit from it as his henchmen, this matter has been related to the fate of too many people......

Li Yang said to me in silence again: "Jiaming, you must promise me, just as if you didn't hear about this today, will you?"

I didn't say a word for a long time, as if I was walking at the crossroads of the most difficult choice in my life in an instant...
