When Manager Sha followed Zhang Shihui into the east wing of the courtyard, he saw Ning Weimin sitting on the sofa rubbing his neck with both hands, showing a tired state.
Luo Guangliang, who was tall and round-waisted, was closer to them and was sitting in the corner of the door smoking alone.
His eyes flickered and his face was expressionless. Even if he looked at the people entering the room with a kind attitude, it felt like being stared at by a tiger.
Fortunately, it is a well-fed and well-fed tiger. Although the pressure it brings is not small and makes people afraid to make mistakes, it does not make people's hair stand on end or create any sense of danger.
Manager Sha and Luo Guangliang are also old acquaintances, and he took the initiative to say hello to him when he passed by.
Luo Guangliang faced Manager Sha and stretched out his hand as a gesture of goodwill. He shook it in a polite way, but said nothing and just nodded.
Although this kind of cold behavior was just due to his temperament, it also caused a lot of damage to Manager Sha's self-esteem.
There was a time when the statuses of Manager Sha and Luo Guangliang were clearly different.
Especially when Luo Guangliang was obsessed with Maxim Restaurant, Manager Sha acted like a veteran and acted like a big brother to Luo Guangliang many times.
But now in front of Ning Weimin, the gap between them seemed to have evened out.
Even though Luo Guangliang didn't care about this strong contrast, Manager Sha himself couldn't deal with it calmly.
What is this called?
Calling Luo Guangliang, one person will get the Tao, the chicken dog will fly to the sky.
But for Manager Sha, Wang Xiaoer is celebrating the New Year, and every year is worse than the last.
So even though he was prepared for this, when he actually faced this situation, Manager Sha was still a little bit upset and couldn't help but not care.
Fortunately, Ning Weimin's attitude was quite friendly and polite.
After seeing Manager Sha, he not only stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with him, but also said apologetically, "Lao Sha, I'm sorry. There are too many guests today, and I kept you waiting for a long time."
This greatly alleviated Manager Sha's sense of loss to a certain extent.
And that's not all. After letting Manager Sha sit down, Ning Weimin took out a bottle of Hennessy XO, opened it, and filled several glasses with wine.
Then he personally distributed several glasses of wine to several people present, and the first glass of wine was handed to Manager Sha’s hand.
"Come on, it's getting late now and the room is getting colder. Let's also enjoy the glory of the French winemaker and have a drink together to keep warm."
This move, which clearly did not treat Manager Sha as an outsider, even immediately made Manager Sha feel completely new. He felt that his bones were a little lighter.
Then there was no longer any psychological barrier, and I was willing to show respect.
Later, he presented Ning Weimin with the gift he had brought.
He hurriedly opened the packages himself and showed Ning Weimin the antiques and jade jewelry bought at the Friendship Store.
Manager Sha is quite confident about this generous gift.
Because ever since he had the idea of taking Ning Weimin's path, he had been repeatedly weighing in his mind what kind of gift he should give to impress Ning Weimin.
He even compared the level of gifts received by Ning Weimin at his wedding, and considered for a long time before deciding to give these gifts. He did it regardless of the expense and investment.
He just wanted to show his greatest respect in the most merciful way. The purpose was to win his attention when giving these gifts to Ning Weimin in person.
And as expected, his huge investment of money paid off, which made Ning Weimin look surprised.
He also caught the change in Ning Weimin's mood and quickly took the opportunity to make his request.
"Mr. Ning, to tell you the truth, I came here to ask for help today. If you don't help me, I won't be able to stay in the company any longer. You don't know, that guy Zou Guodong is too cruel. This time
We really want to kill them all. He teamed up with Xiong Jianmin to choke us financially.
He wants to kill us old people so that he can monopolize the company. If he succeeds this time, not to mention that all the old guys here will have to pack up and leave. From now on, Mr. Ning
The influence on the head office may also be weakened."
"Mr. Ning, I also want to give you a warning. You are good at everything, but you are too kind-hearted. To be honest, you should not have given up your position as general manager to Zou Guodong in the first place. That guy is not a person who understands
Grateful master, everyone calls him King Zou Yan, how can he have any feelings? Your generosity and magnanimity not only failed to earn his gratitude, but instead allowed him to take advantage of you, and now he has begun to cut off your wings."
"Everyone knows that we old guys are all interested in you. As long as you propose, how often do we old guys not raise our hands to support you? If Zou Guodong gets rid of us, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he just wants to destroy you.
The influence on the head office. Taking advantage of us this time is probably just the first step for Zou Guodong and Xiong Jianmin. Is there any need to say what he wants to do next?"
"If you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. Mr. Ning, you have to be careful. I know that you don't like to stir up trouble. But as the saying goes, a tiger's heart is harmless to a person, and a tiger's intention is to hurt others. If they
They succeeded, cleared the obstacles in the head office, and completely turned the head office into their one-stop shop. Then the next step will definitely be to take action against you. Even if you are in Tokyo, you can't hide from right and wrong..."
I have to say that Manager Sha is a very clever person. He looks kind on the surface, but he has many evil intentions.
Kind words and flattery flowed out of his mouth as if they were free, without any need for drafting.
Moreover, this guy is also good at sowing discord and killing people with a borrowed knife.
While expressing his loyalty, he actually wanted to transfer the conflict between Zou Guodong and himself to Ning Weimin.
The intention was to turn this matter into a confrontation between Zou Guodong and Ning Weimin, and also to drag Ning Weimin into trouble.
If Ning Weimin was just an ordinary person, if he was a wealthy man who only cared about the company's internal interests, he might not be able to withstand his deception.
But who is Ning Weimin?
That is a person who has a time-travel plug-in, a mind for the world, and a global view.
From the moment he entered Pierre Cardon, he did not limit his personal interests and future to the small piece of land in front of him.
Even Song Huagui's position was not taken seriously by him, which is why he was so generous and took the initiative to give up the position of second-in-command in the company to Zou Guodong.
How could he fall for Manager Sha’s counterintuitive schemes now?
What's more, Manager Sha's understanding of Ning Weimin is too limited.
He was almost completely unaware of Ning Weimin's fortune overseas.
All I know is that he married a celebrity wife, and the Tokyo Dan Palace Restaurant he is responsible for has been very profitable.
As a result, because of the lack of too much important key information, Manager Sha, who completely underestimated Ning Weimin, naturally misunderstood the matter, and serious misjudgments were inevitable.
In fact, instead of showing any sympathy, Ning Weimin flatly rejected his request without even a trace of hesitation.
"I can't help you with the things you mentioned."
This was a blow to Manager Sha's head.
"Why?"
Manager Sha's face turned gray and he couldn't believe it, "Mr. Ning, stop teasing me. Are you willing to let the villain Zou Guodong get his way and let him ride on your neck? Impossible. Besides, you are always good at friendship. My friend, you will definitely not leave me alone, right?"
Ning Weimin shook his head again, "There is one very important thing. You made a mistake from the beginning. The company needs to reform, improve its management level, and improve its financial system. This is not Zou Guodong's idea alone. I think so too. Mr. Song thinks so. Even Mr. Zou didn’t want to act so quickly. He was worried about lack of preparation and wanted to postpone it until after the new year. But Mr. Song thought it was better to do it sooner rather than later, fearing that it would affect the work after the new year. Mr. Zou decided to implement the plan years ago. As for the suggestion to eliminate secretaries of the opposite sex, it has nothing to do with Mr. Zou. I specifically proposed it to Mr. Song. I think that only in this way can we prevent subtle mistakes and effectively reduce the impact of chaotic relationships between men and women on the development of the company. Because of this, Mr. Zou took the initiative to take the blame for me and suggested that I not go to the meeting. He would bear the pressure of everyone's dissatisfaction for me. So think about it, how could I go against myself?"
As soon as Ning Weimin said this, it was not only Manager Sha who was surprised. Even Luo Guangliang and Zhang Shihui, who had nothing to do with the matter, were also surprised and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.
Of course, it was Manager Sha who was most severely hit mentally and was directly hit hard. After all, Luo Guangliang and Zhang Shihui had nothing to do with him, and he would be in chaos if he cared about them.
"What? Is it you? How could this happen? How could it be...it's you..."
All the excitement on Manager Sha's face seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden. He looked as if his mother had died, and said with a sad expression.
"But...but why did you do this? Why did you attack us old guys? Did we offend you in any way? Mr. Ning, there is absolutely no reason for you to do this? Now that the company is developing so well, everyone There is hard work even if there is no merit. Is it not good to keep things as they are and let everyone live in peace? Why do you have to do so brilliantly and you have to kill the donkey to get rid of the trouble? "
This is a bit rude.
Although Ning Weimin could understand Manager Sha's emotional imbalance, he could not accept such accusations regarding matters of principle.
Almost instantly, Ning Weimin straightened his face and scolded in a contemptuous tone.
"What are you talking about! Lao Sha, after all, you have been a middle-level manager of Pierre Cardon Company for so many years, how come you have lost your basic professional qualities? Although you have indeed contributed to the company, does the company treat you badly?
Is it true that your work was in vain and the company didn’t pay you? It’s you who are greedy and have been taking advantage of your position to line your own pockets. Why are you still wronged? Instead, you think this is natural? Let me tell you,
In the past, companies were too lazy to cooperate with
I ignore you because Mr. Song is generous. The company is small and busy with development. He doesn’t bother to spend energy on such trivial matters to get angry with you. Now the company has expanded in size and even owns a building.
Are you still letting yourself go as you did in the past? How much money will the company lose every month? I don’t believe it. How big is this hole? You don’t know how big it is? If you and Mr. Zou were in another position, could you let it go?
in spite of?"
These words are tenable in terms of truth and logic. Every word Ning Weimin utters is righteous and irrefutable.
Manager Sha blushed immediately after being scolded and was speechless.
After a long while, he lowered his head and muttered, "Then you can't be so ruthless. As for doing things so decisively, who can stand such a violent storm? Besides, there is an old saying.
, Qingshui Pond does not raise fish. Which company's logistics department does not have some flexibility? I am not the only one to do this. If all the fish are killed, the water will become a pool of stagnant water..."
It's come to this point, yet his words still dare to be thorny and even threatening. It's simply a matter of life and death.
Ning Weimin's face became even colder, and he said in a contemptuous tone, "You still think you are unjust and are not convinced? If so, then you can go ahead. I, Ning Weimin, don't have a friend like you.
There is no need for us to continue talking..."
Manager Sha is not afraid of heaven, earth, God, hell, retribution, boss, or even his wife.
But at this moment, he was scared to his core by the indifference and alienation shown by Ning Weimin.
He is not stupid, so he naturally knows that Ning Weimin is really angry.
When he thought of the consequences of Ning Weimin's neglect, he immediately shuddered.
In his regret, he didn't care that there were other people in the room, making people laugh.
He quickly corrected his attitude, stood up, bowed his hands, and began to admit his mistake seriously.
"Mr. Ning, I can't speak, I can't open my eyes, and I'm dizzy. You're right to criticize me. I'm not wronged at all. I deserve it. I deserve to die. But you don't remember the faults of villains. Don't ever talk to me.
I have a general understanding. Thank you. It’s because of our friendship in the past.
Come on, please give me some advice. I don’t dare to expect too much. As long as you can let Zou Guodong let me go, once I pass this level, I will be whatever you say from now on, and I will definitely obey your orders...
...As long as I stay in the company, I will definitely have the opportunity to repay you in the future..."
However, Ning Weimin's anger was obviously still lingering, and he still tortured his soul.
"Repay? What do you want in return? Give me the money you took out of the company? Do you think I will join in the dirty work with you? I am a shareholder of the company, and it is best for me to completely remove worms like you from the company.
It's beneficial. Let Zou Guodong let you go? Yes, as long as you resign, no one will hold you accountable. But the question is, are you willing?"
The cruel sarcasm and cynicism contained in these words of suppressed anger made Manager Sha tremble with torment, and he was in a state of confusion.
But he still mustered up the courage and said again, "Mr. Ning, I'm begging you. Please help me..."
Ning Weimin said bluntly, "I'm already helping you. I'm not joking with you, I've been telling you serious things. At the current stage of the company's development, its scale has approached that of a large enterprise. Of course, it needs a more solid foundation.
Stricter rules and stricter management methods
Only in this way can the company's future be brought to a higher level. People like you can't keep pace with the times and are out of touch with the company's needs, so naturally you can't stay. So it's best for you to resign. I
Guarantee that the company will no longer pursue your past accounts. This matter ends here."
Manager Sha shook his head and said miserably, "But then I would be unemployed. Mr. Ning, I have an old man and a young man. How can I live without the company? You can't watch me begging for food, can you?"
"Why are you pretending to be pitiful with me? You don't know how much you have earned from the company? Are you begging for food? It is not your turn to suffer misfortune."
Ning Weimin has a clear sense of right and wrong and does not take anything lightly. "Of course you want to stay in the company, but you have to make up for the shortfall in your logistics accounts, right? You have to make sure not to make financial mistakes again in the future. That's the only way.
, I will go and plead with Mr. Zou so that I can give you a chance to change your ways, are you willing?"
Although Ning Weimin made another condition so that Manager Sha could keep his job, this condition was simply disappointing.
If Manager Sha could make up for his shortfall, his wealth would be reduced by at least half.
The key is that he is not sure about the future. Whether someone like himself who stayed behind because he confessed his crime and obeyed the law will be able to be relied upon by Mr. Song as he did in the past.
Can Zou Guodong not wear small shoes for himself?
If he fails to work for two or three years and is fired again, he won't even have a place to cry.
So Manager Sha stood there, motionless, with his head lowered and almost crying, not knowing what to choose.
In the end, Ning Weimin couldn't stand his pitiful appearance, so he sighed and asked him to sit down.
After all, a well-meaning person like him would not stay angry for a long time with a friend who has gone astray and lost his way.
Moreover, he is bold and generous, and he has a very smart mind.
Even if Manager Sha really has no way to go, as long as he is willing, he can find a new path for Manager Sha.
