Chapter 1625: Performance

“If you don’t know, then don’t talk nonsense!” Liu Zhenan interrupted Little Xia’s words and said coldly, “Watch your mouth. Don’t talk nonsense everywhere.”

“I am just saying it in front of you, Brother Liu. Why would I say it to other people?” Little Xia was instantly shocked when she saw that Liu Zhenan was really angry, so she apologized hastily.

“It’s good that you know. I’m presenting a brand-new image in front of everyone now. Don’t mess up my plan. Otherwise, you know the consequences,” Liu Zhenan warned faintly.

“Relax, Brother Liu. I got it, you want to be a people’s president!” Little Xia said with a sweet smile.

“People’s president? You can say that…” Liu Zhenan nodded, “Also, call me Vice President Liu in the future. Don’t call me Brother Liu or President Liu. It’s not good to let others hear you call me that.”

“Vice President Liu? Brother Liu, didn’t you hate it when others added the word vice to your title?” Little Xia asked with some confusion.

“The past is the past. The present is the present.” Liu Zhenan said, “Without a compass, it is hard to draw a perfect circle. My actual position now is a vice president. If you call me the president an the old man hears about it, he will think that I am seeking instant benefits. And that will be bad. ”

“Yes, Vice President Liu, I know now!” Little Xia responded tenderly.

Liu Zhenan and Little Xia quickly went downstairs. They saw a lot of employees watching the bustling scene in the company’s first-floor lobby. But when these people saw Liu Zhenan approaching, they made way automatically to let him enter the center.

“Let’s all separate and get back to work. Stop looking, let Vice President Liu handle this matter,” Little Xia said hastily when she saw that everyone in the company was surrounding and watching them.

Although Liu Zhenan had recently become closer to the people, these employees were in the wrong. It was time to work now, and it was not right to be watching the bustling scene here. Everyone’s face became awkward upon Little Xia’s scolding. But they heard opposing voices as they were about to leave.

“No, everyone can’t leave. If the person-in-charge turns hostile and denies their promise while everyone is gone, what will happen to my father?” These rehearsed words were uttered by the escort team’s deputy captain, Liu Xiaolei.

Liu Zhenan was about to say what Little Xia said. But he was preempted by Little Xia, and his heart loosened. It seems that Little Xia is quite clever. It is better for her to say instead of me. After all, I have to maintain my people’s president image. It is inappropriate to openly scold. But if these words were not said, Liu Xiaolei wouldn’t be able to utter his rehearsed lines.

Little Xia had solved the problem for him while he was in a dilemma. In this way, it would be fine as long as he acts like a good guy and presents the image of being a people’s president.

” Hehe, young lad, I understand your mood very well. But what kind of person am I, Liu Zhenan? I guess everyone here can affirm it, right?” Liu Zhenan smiled faintly and calmly asked the onlooking employees.

He didn’t say anything to drive away everyone but asked questions instead. This stopped all the employees from leaving. After all, they also wanted to see what all the fuss was about. After hearing Liu Zhenan’s question, several of his confidants stationed in the crowd in advance said, “Vice President Liu has always been very concerned about the welfare of us employees!”

“Yeah, he always thinks about us from an employee perspective. Young lad, go on and believe him!”

“If you have any problem, Vice President Liu will definitely help you to solve it.”

Incited by these people, others recalled that Liu Zhenan’s recent actions were indeed promoting employee benefits.. what these people said which was fighting for a lot of employees’ benefits. Although Liu Zhenan was a bit arrogant before, it was in the past after all. As long as he was better now, who cared about the past?

Furthermore. Liu Zhenan was standing right there. No one was stupid. Wouldn’t it be finding trouble for themselves if they were to speak against or say bad things about Liu Zhenan at this time?

So, following the praises of the several from people before, everyone else present also said yes. Even Liu Zhenan did not expect this phenomenon! Previously, he didn’t expect others to say anything good about him. He had only assigned a few confidants among them. Since these people had started to praise, they would achieve their goal if there were no objections from other people. Nevertheless, he didn’t expect the effect would be so good.

For a while, even Liu Zhenan was feeling a little flattered. I didn’t expect this staged performance to increase my reputation in the company to the peak. Isn’t this outcome too great?

Originally, Liu Xiaolei had also come to perform. What these people said had no effect on him at all, but he was secretly surprised. This Liu Zhenan is really something. In a short period of time, he has already controlled so many people’s hearts. It seems that relying on him and doing things for him is really a wise choice! Once Liu Zhenan comes to power, my contribution will not go unnoticed. Liu Xiaolei was even more motivated thinking of this.

How could he know that these people were just temporarily excited? But this was not important anymore. Liu Xiaolei showed a doubtful look “True or false? Don’t lie to me? Despite being sent to work in Song Jiang for some time, I have also served the group before. Although I am not familiar with Vice President Liu, I haven’t heard anything about fighting for welfare? ”

“Young lad, don’t talk nonsense!” At this time, an old man walked up to him and said in a low voice, “In the past, due to Director Liu Huamei’s restraints, Vice President Liu could not show his capability. Now, the chairman is wise. He transferred Liu Huamei away, and our vice president Liu began to show his capability! ”

This old man was one of Liu Zhenan’s confidants and one of the company’s veterans. His name was Liu Pansen and he was the Deputy Minister of the Human Resources Department. Speaking of which, he was also Liu Jiangyan’s distant cousin so he could also be considered as Liu Zhenan’s uncle.

However, he knew that despite his special identity, it was impossible for him to achieve great things in the group. After all, he was only a distant relative, so he had secretly defected to Liu Zhenan.

Nevertheless, it was also because of his special identity that he dared to call out Liu Huamei’s name, and dared to say things that others didn’t. Perhaps even if Liu Jiangyan would not say anything if he knew of it. After all, Liu Pansen was Liu Huamei’s uncle. It was normal for him to comment a few words about a junior.

Although Liu Pansen’s voice was very low, everyone at the scene heard it clearly. This matter was both true and false. It was no secret that Liu Zhenan and Liu Huamei had struggled for power before. That was why everyone ninety percent believed what Liu Pansen said. If one thought about it carefully, Liu Zhenan’s transformation had really begun after he took over power, so they completely believed in Liu Pansen’s words.

At that moment, Liu Zhenan pretended not to hear Liu Pansen’s words. He walked over with a smile to Liu Xiaolei and earnestly said, “Hearing your words, are you also an employee of the group? Your father is also an old employee of the group? Not only will I solve the difficulties of people like you who have worked for the group for two generations, but I will also prioritize them! If you have any difficulties, speak out in front of everyone. I promise you that no matter what the problem is, as long as the company can solve them and it doesn’t involve law violations, I will try my best to solve it for you! ”

“This-Okay. Since Vice President Liu has said so, I will believe you!” Liu Xiaolei nodded, showing a relieved and grateful look.

“Great, let’s go to the conference room to talk about it in detail!” Liu Zhenan said, “After all, this is the company lobby where people come and go. It is inappropriate to talk here. With so many people testifying, what else are you afraid of?”

“Okay, then let’s go to the conference room.” Liu Xiaolei nodded and went to the conference room with Liu Zhenan.

Once the company’s employees noticed that there was nothing else to watch, they all dispersed and went to do their respective jobs.

In the conference room, Liu Zhenan waved to his secretary Little Xia behind him, and said, “Little Xia, you go back to the office first. Let me talk to this Mr. Liu. You should deal with things over there first. If someone looks for me, just take note of their matter.”

“Okay, Vice President Liu,” Little Xia didn’t think much about it at all. She didn’t know that Liu Zhenan was purposely sending her away. She even thought that Liu Zhenan trusted her as he had sent her to attend to important matters! However, it was not surprising that Little Xia thought so. After all, what could be so important about talking to an employee who had created trouble? Little Xia was too lazy to listen to these trivial matters.

Chapter 1626: Abnormal Matter

After Little Xia left, Liu Xiaolei quickly helped Liu Zhenan to close the conference room’s door. His face suddenly changed from the previous rage and resentment to a toady and flattering smile. “Brother Nan, my performance was not bad, right? How about it? The performance was successful, right?

” En, very good!” Liu Zhenan nodded with satisfaction, “I didn’t expect you to have a talent for acting. It seems that Jifei is pretty accurate in evaluating people!”

“Thank you, Brother Nan, for the compliment. About the matter that Brother Nan promised me…” Liu Xiaolei first smiled, then said seriously, “My father’s matter…”

“Don’t worry about your father’s matter. I have asked Jifei to contact a few people who are working as black market intermediaries in the hospital. If there is a suitable kidney source, I will save it for you. As for your father, I will also let the hospital provide him the best support. Even if a suitable kidney source cannot be found for a while, there will be no danger to his life,” Liu Zhenan said.

“Thank you very much, Brother Nan. As you know, my mother ran away with another person when I was young. My father single-handedly looked after me and my brother. My brother is still young and has just entered high school. I only want to heal my father and leave a lot of money for my brother. Even after doing this, I will have no complaints whether I have to run away or Brother Nan wants to kill me to keep the secret!” Liu Xiaolei finally relaxed upon hearing Liu Zhenan’s promise.

“Don’t say such scary things. You will just need to find a place to hide at that time. At most, you will only need to hide for three to five years. When I succeed in taking over, you will be able to return to the company. At that time, your contribution will not go unnoticed. At least, I must let you take up a huge role in the subordinate company! “Liu Zhenan began to make some empty promises to satisfy Liu Xiaolei’s wish.

“Thank you, Brother Nan!” What Liu Zhenan said was also what Liu Xiaolei hoped for, but whether it would be realized in the end was still unknown. But even so, having some hope was always good. Moreover, the most important thing was to resolve the immediate matter. Otherwise, how could he, a mere deputy captain of the escort team, afford his father’s huge medical expenses?

“Tomorrow, I will find someone to shift your father to a luxury ward as long as everything is done according to plan,” Liu Zhenan commanded.

“I understand, Brother Nan. I’m leaving first,” Liu Xiaolei saw that it was almost time, so he got up and left.

” En, let’s go out together.” Liu Zhenan also stood up and walked out of the conference room with Liu Xiaolei. The moment they left, Liu Zhenan restored his amiable smile, while Liu Xiaolei also presented a grateful heartfelt smile on his face. Any passerby who saw this scene would think that Liu Xiaolei’s problem had been solved.

……

“Sister Huamei, I heard that Liu Xiaolei went to the Jiangyan Group’s headquarters to appeal for his father today,” Jing Xiaolu walked into Liu Huamei’s office and told her about the news that she had just received, “Liu Xiaolei is an employee of our Mingjiang Escort Company. It seems that it is not in accordance with the rules to surpass us and go to the Jiangyan Group’s headquarters. Is there any conspiracy?? ”

“I also just heard about this,” Liu Huamei said, “The person dealing with him is my elder brother, Liu Zhenan, but I heard that the problem was solved very well. It feels strange to me. My elder brother is the kind of person who would be unconcerned if a matter has no benefit for him. How did he get involved in this matter? ”

“Exactly. Xu Xiaobin’s case previously proved that Liu Zhenan wouldn’t bother to care if the matter didn’t benefit him.” Jing Xiaolu said, “This is also why I’m so anxious to tell you, but it looks like Sister Huamei has already received the news. ”

“It’s not to the extent to say that Liu Xiaolei has leapfrogged. Although he is an employee of our Mingjiang Escort Company, his father is a veteran of the Jiangyan Group. So it is not unreasonable for him to go directly to the Jiangyan Group for his father’s affairs,” Liu Huamei said. “What I can’t figure out is, why would my elder brother handle this matter personally?”

“If there is an abnormality, there must be something suspicious about it. I think we should be more careful. Anyway, there should be no great mistake if we remain cautious” Jing Xiaolu thought for a while, but couldn’t come up with anything.

“Forget it. No matter what, the group’s affairs have nothing to do with me now. It’s better that we work hard to run the current escort company. Maybe my elder brother has changed for the better,” Liu Huamei sighed and no longer thought about these things. “By the way, Xiaolu, I have not yet seen the real boss behind the Ming Yang Company. Hasn’t he returned yet?”

“Maybe not yet…” Jing Xiaolu blushed slightly, “When I called a few days ago, he said it would take a while to come back.”

“I heard that he is your boyfriend?” Liu Huamei smiled and asked teasingly.

“Who said that. He has a girlfriend …” Jing Xiaolu was embarrassed but subconsciously denied it.

Liu Huamei didn’t say much more. After all, it was Jing Xiaolu’s private affairs, and she couldn’t manage it. Previously, she heard from Bao Sanli that there seemed to be a special relationship between Jing Xiaolu and Ming Yang’s behind-the-scenes boss, Yang Ming. This also made her instantly understand why Bao Sanli, the official general manager, respectfully let Jing Xiaolu take the lead when she first met them back in the office. There turned out to be such a reason.

However, when Liu Huamei knew that Yang Ming was also a freshman like Jing Xiaolu, she couldn’t help but feel shocked and started to look forward to meeting Yang Ming! Originally, Liu Huamei thought that she was amazing for assuming the position of the company’s Financial Director at such a young age. But after knowing that Ming Yang had been founded by Yang Ming single-handedly, the pride in her heart was gone!

No matter how capable she was, she was only able to unleash under the Jiangyan Group’s aura, but Yang Ming had built two companies of considerable sizes from scratch!

Ming Yang’s status in Song Jiang was not inferior to the Jiangyan Group’s status in Jiangyan City. Although the scales of the two were quite different, Yang Ming was just a freshman, and this Ming Yang Company had only been established for about half a year!

This gave Liu Huamei the urge to meet Yang Ming. She wanted to see what kind of person he was for him to be capable of establishing such a company.

No doubt, Liu Huamei just wanted to see Yang Ming, but she didn’t have any other ideas. So, she just smiled a little at Jing Xiaolu’s blush, and secretly thought that Jing Xiaolu was overthinking that she had an interest in her lover.

The next day, Liu Zhenan vigorously took Liu Xiaolei’s father, Liu Tiepi, to a luxurious ward in the best hospital in Jiangyan City, and deposited one hundred thousand yuan in the hospital account. He prepaid medical expenses, refunded the overcharge and paid for the shortage.

This action completely convinced those who thought Liu Zhenan was just all talk. They began to sincerely feel that Liu Zhenan was a good president that looked out for his employees.

All of a sudden, Liu Zhenan’s prestige reached an astonishing height in the company. Father Liu Jiangyan was shaken once more!

Liu Zhenan would definitely not do this kind of thankless matter before, but now, it seemed that he had changed into an entirely new person and had started to think for the company as well as its employees. This made Liu Jiangyan feel that although Liu Zhenan had mediocre qualifications, he was a good candidate to be the successor!

After all, being a chairman didn’t require much ability. Hiring a professional manager could make up for it. The most important factor to be the chairman’s successor was to not have a greedy and selfish heart, but have one that was devoted to the company and its employees. Only after maintaining the company and appeasing the employees, could a business continue its prosperous development.
