Chapter 24 Expectations
The elevator was going up one by one, and my heart was heavy.
Because I know that I don't have much power to interfere in this matter, although this is a major event related to the future of the company, but my status is too low, and my qualifications are too shallow, in fact, I should not interfere in this matter. However, I still made the decision to discuss with General Manager Qian.
Perhaps it was because of my meagre sense of responsibility, or perhaps because of the righteous indignation that little conscience I had left in my heart.
When the elevator finally stopped on the fifth floor, I was still a little weak, but in the end, I still had the courage to walk step by step to the office where General Manager Qian was.
General Manager Qian usually manages all the affairs of Sanxin Company, except for Mr. Chen, who is also the chairman and president, and General Manager Qian has the greatest power.
During the time I worked at Sanxin, Mr. Chen rarely showed up, while General Manager Qian was often in various locations, including the workshop, including my and Wang's offices.
In my impression, General Manager Qian is a very arrogant and unspeakable person, he speaks very loudly and has a big shelf, so to speak, there are not many people in the whole company who like Manager Qian, but most of them are forced by his power to put on a good face.
Of course, the former prime minister is also one of the oldest leaders of the company, and although his personality is not likable, but the ability is still very strong, it is said that in the initial stage of Sanxin company, a lot of business is dependent on him to follow, it can be said that he is also the elder of Sanxin company.
However, perhaps it was because of his great contribution to the company that he didn't care about me as a newcomer. He's one of the few people in the entire company who hasn't appreciated my recent takeover.
Maybe in his eyes, everything I did was just a small fight, and I couldn't get into his eyes.
With a heart in my hand, I walked step by step to the former prime minister's office, but as soon as I reached the door of his office, I saw him walking out of it, with a majestic look on his face.
The moment he opened the door, he and I bumped into each other.
"General Manager Qian?" I was still a little surprised to see General Manager Qian take the lead in coming out, but I immediately straightened my face and calmed down my mood.
Seeing me standing outside his door, General Manager Qian lowered his eyes, looked at me, and didn't say any polite words, and asked directly: "What's the matter, do you have something to do with me?"
Looking at General Manager Qian's somewhat impatient gaze, I settled down and said the lines I had originally thought of.
"General Manager Qian, when I reviewed our company's list of medicinal products today, I found that many of the types of medicinal materials in it were much lacking compared to the formula, I asked Manager Tang, and he said that this is what you meant...... I want to ask why this is? If you don't do it well, I'm afraid it will affect the credibility of the company, right?"
Hearing me say this, General Manager Qian suddenly frowned every day, and his eyes became sharp when he looked at me.
General Manager Qian didn't look at me much, but at this moment, he suddenly locked on me, and I felt a little hairy.
That feeling...... It's as if he's a beast that can attack at any moment, making the most ferocious attacks.
"Yes, that's what I meant. General Manager Qian looked at me for two seconds, and then replied like this.
"But, General Manager Qian, it doesn't seem good to do this......?
"That's what I mean, do you understand?" General Manager Qian quickly interrupted me, and there was no second word.
"But ......"
"Am I the general manager, or are you the general manager?" Before I could say anything more, General Manager Qian stared at me tightly in the eyes and asked me word by word.
"That's you, of course...... However, I still feel that this will affect the development of the company, so I still recommend adding some necessary herbs. Listening to General Manager Qian's almost oppressive words, I still asked under pressure.
"Yang Jiandong," when I asked him this, General Manager Qian's face changed as soon as he said it, and it became ugly. "You'd better recognize your identity, what kind of identity you are, and do whatever you do. Don't think too highly of yourself, even if you have done a lot of work recently, you still use the name of my company to eat my company's food, you know?"
General Manager Qian's words almost really threatened me, and when I heard this, I suddenly felt a little suffocated, and my heart was suddenly a little unconvinced.
Maybe I'm still young after all, and I can't help but say a word when I am oppressed by General Manager Qian.
"General Manager Qian, please also recognize clearly, this is Chairman Chen's company, not your company!"
Being so sure of my mouth, General Manager Qian suddenly widened his eyes, stared at me even more sharply, and let out cruel words.
"Yang Jiandong, don't you want to do it anymore? You have to know who your job depends on?! Chen Kaiye can't manage it now, and I am in charge of this company now! Do you believe it or not, and I will fire you again? I really don't believe that Yang Jiandong, a small intermediary, can change it!"
General Manager Qian's sudden attack made me feel that my face was burning, and I couldn't help but clench my fists, and I felt indescribably aggrieved in my heart.
But I didn't make a sound, looking at General Manager Qian's lofty expression, I couldn't refute him for a while, although I was not convinced.
He is the general manager of Sanxin Company, managing the personnel of the entire company, and I am just a small cadre who has just come to the fore, maybe my recent achievements are impressive, but my status is low after all, and when I face the coercion of leadership power, I am also powerless to resist.
Looking at General Manager Qian's arrogant expression, I could only be silent, and after a while, I could only say calmly:
"General Manager Qian, I know, these are your decisions, I am young, I am underqualified, I am a low position, I am really not qualified to say that you are not. But I still want to say the last sentence, Sanxin Pharmaceutical Company in my mind is a sacred company with quality as the priority and the principle of protecting people's life safety. Anyway, you know, although I am young, I am not short of money!"
I spit out these words word by word to General Manager Qian, staring at him without fear.
"So, you really don't want to do it?"
"General Manager Qian, if you want to be fired, please feel free, anyway, it's just a word from you. But I also remind you that if the company's counterfeit drug manufacturing continues, your position will not be preserved sooner or later!"
At that moment, I really made up my mind, and when I said this, I had already seen it, and at that moment, I didn't care about the results of being laid off and losing my position.
Maybe I'm not a good person who takes the world as his own responsibility, but I also have some unshakable beliefs in my heart.
For example, my respect for Mr. Chen, therefore, extends to respect for Sanxin Company.
Because of that respect for the company and Mr. Chen, it was hard for me to tolerate someone secretly doing something dishonorable to tarnish the company.
Maybe it's my idea, it's really naΓ―ve.
But the moment I turned around, I had already seen it. Maybe I was wrong in the first place.
But soon General Manager Qian stopped me.
"Yang Jiandong, you stop and make it clear to me!" General Manager Qian's voice was a little louder again, "What do you mean that I can't keep my position?"
"You know what I mean. I turned my head and didn't want to say anything more, just said that and wanted to leave.
But General Manager Qian suddenly took a step closer to me, grabbed my arm, and asked me viciously:
"What do you mean that I have not been in office for a long time? You have been coveting my position for a long time, and you want to see that I am derelict in my duties, right?
General Manager Qian's words were obviously threatening me, and I didn't expect him to know that I had a little relationship with Mr. Chen. Although the whole company knows about this to some extent, and many people know that I have some relationship with Mr. Chen, saying that I must be his nephew or something, although I have never told the truth to the people in the company, but there are many similar rumors.
But now, looking at General Manager Qian's appearance, it seems that he knows more about the relationship between me and Mr. Chen than ordinary people. I don't know where he got some news about it.
Seeing that General Manager Qian actually thought of me to usurp the position, I was a little unhappy, because I didn't think about it at all, I am not a very ambitious person, just ask for a more stable job to maintain a peaceful life, too high a position I don't have the ability to occupy.
"General Manager Qian, you think too much, I don't mean that. I'm just saying a few words from my heart. If you really think I'm such a sinister person, just fire me. β
I really felt at that moment with a surge of heart, because I knew what the outcome would be when I said this series of words.
But so what?
The worst result is just to lose the position in Sanxin Pharmaceutical Company, what else can there be?
In the past few days of working in Sanxin Company, I have learned a lot, known a lot, grown a lot, and left a lot of good memories.
For me, that's enough.
If I did, I wouldn't have any regrets.
Thinking of this, I took a few steps back, and then said lightly to the angry General Manager Qian: "Goodbye." β
Then, without looking back, he turned and left.
As I walked away, General Manager Qian didn't call me again, I seemed to hear a few words of scolding behind me, but I didn't hear what General Manager Qian said, and I don't know what he thought, because at that time I had already walked into the elevator at the fastest pace without looking back, pressed the elevator button on the first floor, and then closed the elevator door with my eyes closed.
When I watched the elevator go down one by one, my mood finally calmed down gradually, to be honest, General Manager Qian's angry face just now did have a strong deterrent effect, which made me almost defeated. But now that I think about it, I look down on it all.
By the time the elevator stopped on the first floor, I had completely calmed down, and I had figured out all the worst outcomes, the worst outcome would be the loss of my position, but that was really nothing to me.
I still have a lot of assets, my resume and contacts are now a lot richer, I am no longer the fledgling young man I was at the beginning, and now I have more or less confidence even if I find a new job.
What's more, with so many assets in my body, even if I can't find a job, to invest or open a store, it is enough for me to survive the rest of my life.
That's what I thought at the time, but as soon as I walked out of the building, I was stunned.
Because I saw a black Porsche slowly coming in from outside the company and then stopped in the carport on the left side of the company.
Mr. Chen, who usually sees the dragon without seeing the end, actually appeared at this time.
When I saw Mr. Chen's car suddenly appear in front of me, I felt my whole heart twitch violently at that moment. I felt as if I had seen a ray of light.
I don't know how much Mr. Chen trusts me, but I wonder what Mr. Chen would think if I reported to Mr. Chen that General Manager Qian had deducted medicinal herbs.
Did he believe my words and thus oppose and condemn General Manager Qian, or did he ignore me or did he still follow General Manager Qian's wishes even if he knew?
My heart was beating so hard at that moment. In my impression, Mr. Chen is a very responsible, easy-going and well-cultivated senior, and I have always had a sense of reverence for him, but if Mr. Chen did not object to General Manager Qian after knowing the truth, then his sense of reverence in my heart would have disappeared.
Should I tell him about it?
Standing at the door of the office building, I thought about it for a while, and finally, when I watched Mr. Chen's slightly tall and thin body leaning out of the car, I decided to tell Mr. Chen about it and see how Mr. Chen would react.
After making a decision, I stepped forward, and Mr. Chen also happened to add a black briefcase and a beautiful woman walked towards the office building, that beautiful woman is Mr. Chen's wife, according to the people in the company, she is also surnamed Chen, working in a hydropower plant, but I have not seen her very often, the most impressive one for me is the scene when I said goodbye to Jiaqi three years ago, and the other impressions are not very deep.
I walked towards Mr. Chen without hurry, and at that moment Mr. Chen's eyes fell directly on me, seeing me, Mr. Chen squinted his eyes and greeted me from a distance:
"Ah, it's you, Xiaodong. β
"Hehe, Mr. Chen, hello. I didn't expect you to come to the company today. "Because Mr. Chen was standing next to his wife, I didn't say anything about what happened today, so as not to give the impression that I had come to Mr. Chen for a purpose.
"Well, it's almost time to check it out after not coming back in a while. Mr. Chen walked up to me and said to me gently, "Xiaodong, I know all your achievements during this time, and I won't say much other praise, or the same sentence I said to you at the beginning, I have always been very optimistic about you." β
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for the compliment......" I also laughed, but soon, I calmed down, and I said to Mr. Chen, "However, Mr. Chen, I may not be able to do it in your company in the future." β
Hearing my words, Mr. Chen's face immediately froze, and Mr. Chen, who rarely frowned, also frowned a little sparsely, and then I realized that Mr. Chen's forehead wrinkles were much more when he frowned than some time ago.
"Can't do it anymore? What the hell is going on? You...... Did something happen to you? Or did you have something else in mind?"
Hearing my words, Mr. Chen immediately asked me with a solemn expression, and what I was waiting for was Mr. Chen's words.
With Mr. Chen's questions, I finally didn't hide it anymore and told Mr. Chen all the conflicts that happened with General Manager Qian today.
Listening to my story, Mr. Chen also stared at me and listened carefully, Mr. Chen didn't say a word during the whole process, he just looked at me thoughtfully, but there was no look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, but when I talked about my falling out with General Manager Qian, Mr. Chen finally interrupted me.
"Yang Jiandong, I already know this matter. I think you're doing the right thing. Qian Yikang's approach will indeed push our company into the fire pit. β
Hearing Mr. Chen's words, I felt a warm head, inexplicably moved so that I couldn't speak, and even my nose was a little sour, but I didn't expect that Mr. Chen was worthy of being the person I have always admired, and he was still on my side after all.
I didn't trust him in vain.
"But, Xiaodong, I think you're still thinking too simply, and you're too righteous. But before I could say anything, Mr. Chen spoke again, "Have you ever thought that Qian Yikang is actually thinking about the company?"
"Ahh......h
"Xiaodong, you still don't understand the reason why Qian Yikang did this. Now that the currency has depreciated, the international price of medicinal materials has risen, and the cost of pharmaceuticals has also increased a lot, you should know this, right?"
I nodded.
"As soon as the price of medicinal materials rises, the price of medicinal products will also rise, if you want to compete with other enterprises in the international and domestic markets, try to control the cost, reduce the price, and do not reduce the sales volume, which is the best way. But in the case of rising prices for medicinal herbs, such a situation is impossible. Therefore, Qian Yikang reduced several medicinal materials to reduce costs and maintain our company's market competitiveness. There is no way to do it. I think it's understandable about his behavior. β
Mr. Chen's analysis made me suddenly a little panicked. Because hearing him say this, it seems that he is speaking for General Manager Qian again.
"So...... Mr. Chen, do you agree with General Manager Qian's approach?"
"I think his purpose is correct, but I think there is something wrong with his approach. Mr. Chen said.
Hearing Mr. Chen say this, I also put a little bit of relief. Nodding, I said to Mr. Chen:
Mr. Chen...... In fact, I also know the industry situation of rising prices of medicinal materials, and I am just not satisfied with the countermeasures taken by General Manager Qian. β
"I know. Mr. Chen looked at me and said, "The problem of rising prices of medicinal materials is indeed a major problem that our company is currently facing, and I have also considered it for a while. Since you have such an idea, I think you can also participate in this meeting. As for the resignation...... Hehe, I just want to say, you better stay...... Qian Yikang, I will vouch for you, as long as I am still in this company for a day, as long as you continue to make achievements, no one in this company will drive you away under my nose. β
Mr. Chen...... "Listening to Mr. Chen's words, I was indescribably moved in my heart, and I couldn't say anything to express my gratitude for a while.
"Think about it again. I don't think you want to leave, either. Mr. Chen looked at me with a smile, "The company has a special meeting at 7 o'clock tonight, and you can put forward any ideas at the meeting." I'll leave you a seat then. If you do decide to leave, then I'll leave that seat empty. Think about it first. Mr. Chen patted me on the shoulder, nodded to his wife beside me, and walked past me until I walked into the office building, leaving me standing alone with Mr. Chen's words echoing in my ears.
What does Mr. Chan mean by that, does he want to say that the meeting will give me an answer, or does he want to see how I can perform at the meeting?
In any case, from Mr. Chen's words, I can feel that he expects and values me. Mr. Chen definitely didn't want me to leave his company like this. It was because he trusted me that he hired me and transferred me to the sales department. I don't want to live up to his expectations of me.
