As suppliers came one after another, Lan Weidong's heart began to feel colder and colder. He felt an invisible shackles coming towards him.
Under such circumstances, Lan Weidong knew very well that the possibility of him breaking through and defeating Mihu Electrical Appliances Mall was getting smaller and smaller.
But just as Lan Weidong was thinking about countermeasures, he suddenly received news that he had never expected.
After research and discussion by shareholders, it was decided that he is not suitable to be the general manager of Jinpeng Commercial Building, and his transfer will be announced tomorrow.
This news was like a bolt from the blue to Lan Weidong. After all, the Jinpeng Commercial Building, which he had devoted so much effort to, had only been open for three days, and he was about to step down from his position as manager.
However, while it was difficult to accept it, Lan Weidong felt that he had let go of a huge burden.
The letting go of this burden will make him feel relaxed and relieved.
At night, at Lan Weidong's house, Ma Jindong came to Lan Weidong for a drink with a roast chicken and a bottle of wine.
Lan Weidong knew very well what his subordinate and old friend was thinking, but no matter what he thought in his heart, his face did not show the slightest strangeness. He did not refuse the good wine and food that Ma Jindong brought, but instead gave the family's food to him.
A bag of peanuts was taken out, and then the two of them sat together and drank.
"Lao Lan, don't be discouraged. Don't worry. The guy who pushed you up is much worse than you."
As soon as these words came out, although they were extremely comforting, Lan Weidong felt a flash of sadness in his heart. He had changed from "Mr. Lan" to "Old Lan" so quickly!
Ma Jindong poured Lan Weidong a glass of wine and said with annoyance in his voice: "When the time comes, see what kind of face he still has!"
Lan Weidong smiled and said: "Hey, I am also the eldest brother. If I don't laugh at the second brother, I can't do it myself. How can I laugh at others?"
"Old Ma, I know you're fighting for me, so there's no need to comfort me. I'm thinking about it now. I had the chance and tried it, but I turned a good deck of cards into pieces."
"I was replaced at this time. I might have been a little confused at first, but today I sat here and thought about it calmly. I found that even if I were to start over as the general manager, I would still not be Shen Lin's opponent.
"
"So, this can be considered a relief."
Ma Jindong looked at Lan Weidong, who had a calm face, and couldn't help but said: "Old Lan, do you really have no way to recover?"
"Shen Lin has become a trend. Now he not only has his own shopping mall and wholesale market, but also has the support of various suppliers. Coupled with the influence of his own Mihu Electronics Factory products, this is no longer one plus one.
It’s a question of equals two.”
"But one plus one is greater than two!"
"We have a unique advantage, but we were defeated by Shen Lin with one move. Now we have no advantage at all, let alone compete with Shen Lin."
Ma Jindong chewed Lan Weidong's words over and over again, his thoughts racing in his mind. He was not a mediocre person, and he quickly understood the key points of Lan Weidong's words.
The existence of these key points has completely blocked their possibility of victory.
"Lao Lan, what are you going to do next? Do you have any plans?"
Lan Weidong picked up the wine glass, raised his neck and drank the full glass of wine. His eyes seemed to be choked with tears from the strong wine: "Plans? Speaking of which, I really have a lot of plans, and most of them can be done.
accomplish."
"For example, I plan to plant two trees in my yard and then build a grape trellis. What do you think?"
Ma Jindong listened to Lan Weidong's words and couldn't help but said anxiously: "I'm talking about your job!"
"I really have no ideas at work." Lan Weidong laughed at himself and said, "I am a defeated general, why would anyone think of me?"
"What's more, in order to combine Jinpeng Commercial Building, I don't know how many people I have offended. With these people making trouble for me, even if the superiors want to use me again, they will carefully consider it. Do you think so?"
Ma Jindong knew that what Lan Weidong said was true. If he hadn't offended too many people, he wouldn't have been kidnapped from the position of general manager just three or four days after the Jinpeng Commercial Building opened.
Helping Lan Weidong fill the glass with wine, Ma Jindong couldn't help but said: "Old Lan, with your talent, it would be a shame if you just wait for retirement."
"Jin Dong, it's hard to find a three-legged toad. There are a lot of people who are capable! We also have to be self-aware and cannot be blind. If nothing else, let's take Shen Lin as an example. He is a A very capable person.”
Lan Weidong seemed to be laughing at himself and telling the truth: "If he were an ordinary person, I would not have failed so miserably."
"So, we can't think too highly of ourselves."
"I have also fought hard, and I have tried my best, but unfortunately, I failed! What is there to say? It is obvious that my skills are inferior to others!"
Ma Jindong didn't say anything anymore, but he could still feel that Lan Weidong said he was free and easy, but in fact, Lan Weidong must be extremely unwilling in his heart.
But Lan Weidong could only hold back this unwillingness in his heart, because he knew very well that he had no way out.
The two drank in silence, both thinking about their own thoughts. When half a bottle of wine was almost consumed, Lan Weidong suddenly said: "Jin Dong, you and I are different."
"You are relatively peaceful in your behavior, so everyone has a very good impression of you. I think you can take advantage of this and find a place that suits you later."
"By the way, don't do any more things like home appliance shopping malls. You can't build the Mihu Electrical Appliances Building. Then you can buy some clothes or food."
Ma Jindong waved his hand and said: "Old Lan, I am very clear about my own character. My courage is somewhat lacking. For me, if you ask me to do the work of a second-in-command, I can still do it. You want me to When I am the leader, whether it is my pioneering spirit or my leadership ability, I am far from enough!"
Having said this, Ma Jindong smiled and said, "As for me, I'd better learn from you and grow flowers and go fishing."
Lan Weidong looked at the free and easy Ma Jindong, feeling sad in his heart. He knew very well that Ma Jindong was not a person willing to grow flowers and fish.
Now that we are in this world, it is closely related to ourselves.
If he hadn't failed, and failed so miserably, how could his friends have fallen to this point?
"Dong dong dong!"
A rapid knock on the door suddenly sounded from outside. Lan Weidong heard the knock and said in surprise: "Who would knock on the door of my unlucky guy's house at this time?"
Ma Jindong seemed to have completely let go at this time and said: "Whoever he is, let's just drink our wine. Isn't my sister-in-law over there?"
Just as the two of them were having another drink, there was a sound of footsteps, and Lan Weidong's wife said loudly: "Old Lan, someone is looking for you."
Lan Weidong didn't take it to heart. If it was a few days ago, there were many people looking for him almost every day. Now there are one or two people who have no information. This is normal.
After the visitor approached, Lan Weidong raised his hand and said: "I am no longer the general manager of Jinpeng Commercial Building. If the things you have to do are related to Jinpeng Commercial Building, please forgive me that I can't help at all."
"Haha, the reason we came here this time is not Jinpeng Commercial Building." A young voice came from the dim light.
