Chapter 118: A Middle school Student? (1/2)

Manager Zhang felt no one was more anxious than him at this moment. Over the past two days, he had been wracking his brain and pondering hard, but the specific plans and detailed measures he came up with were still not perfect. He never expected the shareholders to suddenly call a meeting.

He cursed himself for wasting time flirting with women. If he had talked to Zhao Qingfeng earlier, maybe it wouldn’t have come to this.

He was worried.

Chairman Li Jianjun was a million times more worried than him.

Their team was ineffective. Their strategy proposals were messy, disorganized, and became more chaotic with each amendment. But it wasn’t surprising. They never had a clear direction from the start, just extending and modifying the original plan.

A thousand people have a thousand Hamlets. Everyone has their own thoughts, and these ideas are inherently diverse.

In the past two days, not only did they messily extend the previous plan without order, but they also argued among themselves, each thinking they were right. This greatly annoyed Li Jianjun.

But when the board members asked him to judge whose strategy was better, he couldn’t give a definite answer because he thought none were good, even worse than not extending at all.

“Think again!”

After a half-day discussion with no satisfaction, seeing the analysis report clearly unable to convince the shareholders handed to him, Li Jianjun angrily slammed the table and went alone to the large balcony, staring at the street view outside.

The night in the provincial city was beautiful. Vehicles shuttled back and forth, lights bright. From the twentieth floor of the Shangri-La Hotel, a few kilometers away was the seven-story building of Erlunsi Headquarters, purchased during Erlunsi’s most profitable time three years ago.

Li Jianjun especially liked that location because it was close to the Wanliu River in the provincial city.

It’s said that water can generate wealth.

But now… not only was the company’s economy sliding further down, his position as chairman was also in jeopardy.

“Wang Yang…”

Every time he thought of this name, he sighed again. Everyone knows at heart, how could he not guess that Wang Yang wanted to replace him?

From the beginning of the company’s establishment, Wang Yang always wanted to be the chairman. But at that time, the other shareholders all supported him, and Wang Yang could not get what he wanted.

Now it was different. Erlunsi had been losing money for two years, giving Wang Yang a chance to make a comeback.

“Chairman.”

Old Zhang couldn’t sit still anymore after holding it in for so long.

He quickly walked up to Li Jianjun, frowning nervously, “I want to go to the county town tomorrow, I have a friend, he might have a way.”

“A friend?”

Li Jianjun’s heart moved, turning to look at Manager Zhang.

“Yes.”

Manager Zhang nodded solemnly, “Actually, I’ve never told you the truth before, the suggestions were all from my friend. Out of greed for credit, I deliberately claimed they were my own ideas…”

He laid his cards on the table. Couldn’t pretend anymore.

Li Jianjun was first furious, then immediately overjoyed. But when he heard that the so-called friend was just a middle school student, his face darkened again.

Nonsense. Absolutely preposterous!

Li Jianjun frowned deeply, scrutinized Manager Zhang for a few moments, then burst into a tirade.

“Old Zhang, are you joking with me! A middle school student, what can he do? Even if everything you said is true, to me, it’s just a stroke of luck.”

“Besides, he’s involved with Li Ming Clothing, it must be a ploy by Li Ming Clothing to fool us. Their goal is clear, just to get our brand authorization to resolve their own crisis.”

“You, a man in his forties, how can you be so confused by a child? It’s utterly unreasonable!”

He berated Manager Zhang harshly.

Manager Zhang wanted to say he truly believed in Zhao Qingfeng.
