2:25 PM.
Zhang Yuanwang sat at the long, round table in the conference room, flanked by several managers of lucrative departments, discussing how to move abroad.
When they saw him, they started picking apart his department's work.
He subtly pursed his lips.
"Damn, it's not like you guys got here through the Chairman's connections. If it were up to your skills, you'd have been fired long ago."
He thought of Luo Feng again, regretting not adding him as a friend that day. He could have tried to jump ship.
He had said I was his friend!
And he even gave me a gift!
He conveniently ignored the fact that his fiancée had been given a belt.
Ai Yuanyuan had been posting photos on her social media for the past few days, all featuring the belt. She was showing off her legs in various poses, wearing black and white stockings.
It made him so restless that he had to find someone at the club to relieve himself.
"The company's legal representative has changed!"
"The major shareholder has changed too!"
Across from Zhang Yuanwang, a department manager suddenly exclaimed loudly, holding up his phone.
Instantly, everyone became like ants on a hot pan, in a panic.
Surprised, excited, scared.
The two people next to Zhang Yuanwang, who had been boasting moments before, frantically texted people on their phones to ask for information.
After all, they weren't the former chairman's biological sons. These connected individuals hadn't even received a message.
"Holy crap, it really changed!"
Another department manager began to say excitedly.
"Who is the legal representative and shareholder now?"
Everyone asked in a flurry of voices.
"It's someone named..."
Just as he was about to answer, the conference room door was pushed open.
General Manager Shen Ningya walked in first and then stood to the side.
"Please stand up and welcome the new Chairman!"
Rustle!
Everyone scrambled to their feet, chairs scraping noisily.
Shen Ningya led the applause.
Clap, clap, clap.
As if waking from a dream, the others put all their might into clapping their hands together.
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap...
Thunderous applause filled the conference room.
Luo Feng walked in.
He nodded at everyone in the conference room.
He sat down in the head seat.
Shen Ningya sat to his left.
The rest of the group sat down.
"Colleagues, although we have just welcomed the new Chairman, I will now formally re-read the resolution results from the board meeting this afternoon."
"Shangcheng Xinxin Culture and Entertainment Co., Ltd., at 1:00 PM today, through a vote by all board members, has appointed Luo Feng as the Chairman of the company, effective immediately."
"I believe that under Chairman Luo's leadership, the company's performance will continue to improve, and everyone's income and incentives will increase..."
"Now, each Vice General Manager and Department Manager will briefly introduce themselves to the Chairman in turn, with each person limited to one minute."
Shen Ningya spoke for five minutes, keeping it concise.
She wasn't the main character today and couldn't steal the spotlight.
While Shen Ningya was speaking and everyone was introducing themselves, the others were also sizing up Luo Feng.
As Chairman, Luo Feng, at thirty-two years old, was quite young. They all speculated whether he was from a second or third-generation wealthy family.
He looked ordinary on the outside, but his eyes were sharp, exuding authority without anger.
Luo Feng was also deliberately scrutinizing everyone, looking for any troublemakers.
The so-called troublemakers were those who, upon being looked at, did not show him due respect.
This was a private enterprise, and he held 80% of the shares. It was truly a one-man show.
Fortunately, there was no one like that in the meeting room.
Everyone who met his gaze immediately straightened their backs and smiled respectfully.
It was as if, if he had extended his hand, these people would have rubbed their heads against it, or even wagged a non-existent tail.
When Zhang Yuanwang saw his gaze, he sat up even straighter, a fawning smile plastered on his face.
Luo Feng smiled and nodded at him.
He was overjoyed, feeling goosebumps all over his body. It felt so good.
He felt completely refreshed.
The surprised glances from those around him made him feel fantastic.
Damn it, I'm the Chairman's friend!
He used to scoff at nepotism, but now, he couldn't help but admit it was great!
Luo Feng listened to the introductions from the others. He paid attention to the first one or two, and then to the introductions of two beautiful female managers in the middle. He lost interest in the rest.
After about half an hour, everyone finally finished introducing themselves.
"Next, we invite the Chairman to give us his work requirements!"
Shen Ningya announced.
She then looked at Luo Feng with reverence, adjusted her posture, and picked up her pen, ready to write down Luo Feng's speech.
Everyone else did the same.
However, everyone felt that Shen Ningya, who was usually cold and ruthless, seemed a little too tender at this moment.
This was because Luo Feng hadn't been satisfied with just using his hands for the massage; he had also used his mouth in the end.
He had sucked too hard, leaving red marks.
At the time, Shen Ningya had said that the Chairman's strength was just right.
"I'm very happy to see all of you. I mainly have two points to make."
"The first point is that the company does not support idlers. If you cannot bring benefits to the company, pack your bags and leave as soon as possible. If you linger, I believe the company's human resources and legal departments are not to be trifled with."
"The second point is that I like proactive, motivated, and passionate people, people with a spirit of dedication. Important positions will be given to such people."
"The third point is that I have full trust in Shen Ningya, the General Manager. Her words and actions represent my intentions, and I have given her full authorization."
"That's all I have to say."
Thunderous applause erupted again.
Shen Ningya began her concluding remarks, finally stating:
"Thank you, Chairman, for your trust. I will definitely lead all employees to strictly implement all the Chairman's requirements, with the completion of the Chairman's tasks as our core mission!"
"Thank you again, Chairman, for your guidance and requirements!"
Clap, clap, clap…
More applause began.
This bureaucracy and formalism were a bit much!
But since it was a private enterprise, it was fine.
"What the Chairman said was brilliant and thought-provoking. I will definitely give my all for the Chairman and dedicate everything!"
While clapping, Zhang Yuanwang hardened his heart and was the first to offer flattery, his words so extreme that others secretly cursed him.
Damn it, you're offering your life and everything from the start, what are we supposed to say?
The bar was set too high, it's hard to follow.
Damn it, I knew I should have said that too!
"Every word the Chairman spoke is full of power. I believe that with Chairman Luo leading the company, it will definitely soar and become a leader!"
This flattery was rather mediocre.
"Chairman…" ×N
The flattery continued one after another. If they stayed any longer, the company would probably conquer the world.
Luo Feng was the first to walk out of the meeting room, with Shen Ningya following closely behind.
"Zhang Yuanwang is good. He can be reused."
He was very satisfied with Zhang Yuanwang's performance just now. Offering dedication to the Chairman, not just the company, was a very precise piece of flattery.
Of course, setting that aside, Ai Yuanyuan's performance in the car a couple of days ago also made him worthy of promotion and reuse.
"Understood, Chairman."
Shen Ningya nodded.
Those nearby felt like they had missed out on a fortune.
If they had known flattery was so effective, they shouldn't have been so reserved with their own praise just now!
Zhang Yuanwang lagged behind the crowd. He was messaging his fiancé: "Yuanyuan, Meng Qingyuan's boyfriend became the chairman of our company today. Can you tell Meng Qingyuan to meet up for a meal?"
"Oh right, does Yuanyuan have Chairman Luo's WeChat..."
Ai Yuanyuan, who was in another city, looked at her fiancé's message and her mouth fell open in surprise.
Her tender pink tongue couldn't help but lick her lips.
For a moment, she felt a slight itchiness in her body.
She recalled what had happened in the car that day.
She tapped on Luo Feng's chat window.
"Brother Feng, can you pick me up the day after tomorrow?"
"Yuanwang said he wants to have a meal with you, and I want to too..."
