50: Chapter 50: It's you again?!
The middle-aged man in a suit replied with a somewhat grim expression: "Chairman Su, I am not the General Manager. General Manager Duan drank too much with the distributors last night and probably hasn't arrived yet."
"I am Vice General Manager Wang Wei."
Su Ye frowned slightly and looked at General Manager Fang Zheng beside him, asking: "General Manager Fang Zheng, did you receive General Manager Duan's itinerary yesterday? If I remember correctly, business banquets with distributors must be reported in advance, right?"
General Manager Fang Zheng took out his phone, checked it, and then shook his head, saying: "Chairman Su, as of now, I have not received any relevant reporting procedures."
"Heh."
Su Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold sneer curled at the corners of his mouth.
The people present saw Su Ye smile, but they didn't dare to laugh at all; in fact, their spines felt a bit chilly.
"Alright, everyone go back to your own work. We will go to the office and wait for General Manager Duan. I want to see how long it takes for him to come to work today."
Zhang Hua and General Manager Fang Zheng had no objections. It is hard to save those who are determined to die. The two had already repeatedly warned everyone that this was a period of change in the group's ownership, and everyone should keep a low profile. They didn't expect that General Manager Duan would still be so foolish at a time like this.
After several executives headed to the General Manager's office, someone on the scene hurriedly tried to contact the General Manager.
A few minutes later, a young man around thirty years old stepped into the company. After looking around, the expression on his face was not pleasant.
Marketing Manager Chen Cong looked at his future work environment with great dissatisfaction. He had been doing well at a multi-billion dollar group, where the premises were large, the environment was good, and the prospects were much better than here. But just because of that little punk Su Ye, he had been sent back to the Human Resources Department the next day because his tie wasn't tied well, which allegedly affected the company's image.
Immediately after, his father's uncle called and forcibly took back his family's shares, and recently, Li Mengyao had also been much colder towards him.
With no other choice, he had to settle for second best and come to the company where his uncle worked to be a small manager. In Marketing Manager Chen Cong's eyes, this was a world of difference from what he had before.
Before, how many people did he manage? Twenty or thirty people. Now, how many could he manage? Less than ten. Moreover, his territory at Chaoyang Group before was almost half the size of this company.
He shook his head to shake the dissatisfaction out of his mind. Marketing Manager Chen Cong believed that with his ability, even in this small company, he could shine and become that needle piercing through the burlap sack, not to mention that his uncle was the General Manager of this company.
He set a small goal: to replace his uncle within three years.
As for where his uncle would go? That was none of his business. After all, positions are for the capable, and the losers must step down.
Being a high-level executive at a small company wasn't bad if he couldn't be a middle manager at a large one. Moreover, Marketing Manager Chen Cong was very optimistic about the development of Future Technology. He heard that they had changed bosses in the last two days. What if he ran into the new boss and the boss was conquered by his imposing aura? Wouldn't that be even better?
Thinking this, Marketing Manager Chen Cong grabbed a man rushing by and asked: "Hello, brother, could you tell me where the Human Resources Department is? I'm here to report for duty."
The man looked impatient, but still pointed to an office in the back: "Over there."
After speaking, he pulled away from Marketing Manager Chen Cong's hand and went to handle his work.
Marketing Manager Chen Cong lowered his eyes and kept the young man's appearance in his heart. "Just pray after I take office."
Walking a few steps to the Human Resources office, Marketing Manager Chen Cong didn't even knock and walked straight in, saying to the HR staff: "Hello, I'm here to report for duty. My name is Marketing Manager Chen Cong."
The HR staff looked Marketing Manager Chen Cong up and down, feeling a bit conflicted. Who didn't know that Marketing Manager Chen Cong was General Manager Duan's connection? If it were usual times, there would certainly be no problem, but given what had just happened, General Manager Duan might not even be able to save himself, so it was hard to determine whether to let Marketing Manager Chen Cong join.
"I'm sorry, the computer is having some issues. Manager Chen, why don't you come back this afternoon?" The HR staff pointed to the computer that hadn't been turned on to show Marketing Manager Chen Cong.
By then, there should be news about General Manager Duan's situation, and they could consider whether to let Marketing Manager Chen Cong join then.
Marketing Manager Chen Cong looked at the HR staff suspiciously.
"Is it such a coincidence? I just happen to come to handle the onboarding, and the computer just happens to be broken?"
The HR staff gently pulled out the power cord under their foot with their left foot, then pressed the power button several times in front of Marketing Manager Chen Cong, but the computer screen remained black and unresponsive.
Marketing Manager Chen Cong then said: "Alright, then I'll go find my uncle to chat for a while. You hurry up and fix it. Once it's fixed, handle my onboarding directly. I'll leave my materials with you first."
The HR staff spat lightly at Marketing Manager Chen Cong's back.
"Let's see if your uncle can get through this hurdle first."
Marketing Manager Chen Cong left the HR office and walked straight toward the General Manager's office, but before he reached it, he was grabbed by the plump General Manager's secretary.
"Marketing Manager Chen Cong, do you know where General Manager Duan is right now?"
Looking at the charming young woman's anxious face, Marketing Manager Chen Cong couldn't help but think to himself, his uncle really eats well.
"I don't know. Hasn't he come to work?"
The plump young woman became even more anxious upon hearing this. General Manager Duan was her backer in the company who allowed her to live comfortably and profit well; if something happened to General Manager Duan, it would be terrible.
"He hasn't come. His phone isn't getting through, and he's not replying to WeChat. You need to hurry and call other people in your uncle's family. The new boss just arrived, and since General Manager Duan isn't here, the new boss is waiting in the General Manager's office."
The plump young woman's words made Marketing Manager Chen Cong's eyes light up. Was his uncle going to make way for him so soon?
The new boss was clearly dissatisfied with his uncle. If he could find a chance to strike up a conversation with the new boss, then subtly show that he had once been a manager at a multi-billion dollar enterprise but was harmed by extremely capable villains, and express his vision for the future of drones, then being valued by the new boss and replacing his uncle wouldn't be a difficult matter.
Just as Marketing Manager Chen Cong was about to speak, the door to the General Manager's office opened. Wang Wei walked out and shouted to the plump young woman: "Cai Cai, go buy a few cups of coffee, iced ones."
Marketing Manager Chen Cong was overjoyed. Wasn't this the opportunity he wanted?
"Okay, Vice General Manager Wang Wei, I'll go buy them right away." Marketing Manager Chen Cong agreed immediately, then gave the plump young woman a reassuring look. 'Don't worry, when I become General Manager, I won't replace you. After all, you are quite attractive.'
The plump young woman watched Marketing Manager Chen Cong's disappearing back with a mix of frustration and helplessness, and could only continue to take out her phone and frantically dial General Manager Duan's phone number.
Before long, Marketing Manager Chen Cong returned to the company carrying several Starbucks cups. He even specifically went to the restroom to make his hair a bit damp, as if he had been sweating, to show how hard he was working.
After tidying up his attire slightly, Marketing Manager Chen Cong held his head high, pushed open the office door, and said with a sunny, bright smile: "Leaders, the coffee is here—"
Looking at the figure sitting in the General Manager's chair that he could never forget even in death, Marketing Manager Chen Cong's face changed drastically. His voice was as sharp as a young wife being molested: "Why is it you again!!!"
