I was still looking at Chen Jingming with a calmness, but Fang Yuan asked in shock: "Manager Chen, what do you mean is that Zhuomei's senior management is going to take action against their new CEO?"

Chen Jingming nodded with certainty and said, "Yes, Zhuomei is a family business, you should have heard of it a little."

Fang Yuan and I nodded at the same time. If it weren't for the family business, how could Micai be the CEO of such a big shopping center at the age of 26? I just don't know what Micai's status is in this family.

Chen Jingming continued: "More than two years ago, when Zhuomei's founder Mi Zhongxin went to Shanghai to attend a business meeting, he suffered a serious rear-end collision with a truck that broke down but did not set a warning sign on the expressway. Unfortunately, Zhuomei was managed by his younger brother Mi Zhongde. However, Mi Zhongxin also has a daughter. She has been studying in the United States in recent years and returned to China a few days ago. That is, Zhuomei's newly appointed ceo, betsy (Mi Cai)..."

Before Chen Jingming finished speaking, I interrupted and asked, "Manager, is it his uncle Mi Zhongde who wants to attack betsy?"

Chen Jingming smiled and said, "It's obviously him. He has been the nominal chairman of Zhuomei in recent years. Now that Mi Zhongxin's daughter has returned to China, his status will definitely be threatened. If you get used to being alone at a high place, it will be difficult to let him go!"

I said indignantly: "This old boy is too beastly. Zhuomei was originally his brother's. Now that his brother died unexpectedly, he left such an orphan. As an uncle, he can still bear to do it!!"

Chen Jingming waved his hand and said to me with a serious expression: "The right and wrong in these family businesses is not something that outsiders need to worry about. What we need to do now is to seize this opportunity, suppress Zhuomei, and become the leader of Suzhou's department store."

Fang Yuan nodded in agreement. I didn't say anything, but I felt an unsuppressible anger in my heart.

Chen Jingming continued to say to us: "This is what Manager Li from Zhuomei Investment Promotion Department interviewed me this morning. Next month, two international first-tier brands will expire with Zhuomei's lease contracts. Mi Zhongde has instructed Manager Li from the Investment Promotion Department to take these two first-tier brands to our Poly, and then, using this as a reason, joined hands with the board of directors to attack Mi Zhongxin's daughter and force her to transfer her shares in Zhuomei to achieve her goal of completely monopolizing Zhuomei."

I sighed in shock again and said, "This is too cruel. I would rather cut off my own arm and take over the ownership of Zhuomei!"

This really shocked me. If Zhuomei's investment manager really took two international first-tier brands to us, then our Poly will reach 10 international first-tier brands. With one increase and the other decrease, Zhuomei only has 9 left. Everyone understands the importance of international first-tier brands to top department stores. Even if Mi Zhongde really gets ownership of Zhuomei, the price is still huge!

Chen Jingming smiled and said, "If Mi Zhongde wants to completely take over the ownership of Zhuomei, he must use such a ruthless trick. There are many Mi Zhongxin's confidants in the board of directors. They all support Mi Zhongxin's daughter. If Manager Li is no longer satisfied with the current CEO management method, it will be a serious management accident caused by CEO. Such management accidents have affected the root of the company, and the people who originally supported it will be shaken. At that time, the board of directors will put collective pressure on it. It will be difficult for Mi Cai to not hand over the management rights and ownership rights!"

Fang Yuan, who had been silent all the time, finally asked Chen Jingming: "Are you really not afraid that Zhuomei will be seriously injured from now on and be surpassed by us Poly?"

I simply answered instead of Chen Jingming, saying: "Even if you are surpassed by Poly, Mi Zhongde will still be Zhuomei's supreme leader. If Mi Zhongxin's daughter is still in Zhuomei, he will be replaced sooner or later. A leader who has been in a high position for many years, who is used to being arrogant, how could he be willing to live under someone else's roof?"

Chen Jingming nodded and recognized my words and continued, "Human nature is like this, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us Poly, but Mi Zhongde is not that simple person. I heard that a foreign capital will be poured into Zhuomei in the near future. Zhuomei's Nanjing store and Shanghai store are already preparing to open. Their strategic hinterland is not just Suzhou, but a larger market. Moreover, even if two first-tier brands are lost, Zhuomei's popularity in Suzhou for so many years will not collapse easily. Mi Zhongde has a trump card, so he dares to do this. As long as he can successfully solve Mi Zhongxin's daughter this time, he will firmly sit in the country, which is still worth taking risks!"

Fang Yuan and I were both in silence. Even though we worked for many years, the war and cruelty in the shopping mall have never been presented to us as lustfully as we are today. At this moment, I understand that there are really rules in the workplace or the shopping mall. Those of us at the bottom want to get to the top rely on hard work and ability to grasp opportunities, while the senior management is playing the mental skills. This mental skills make me fear from the bottom of my heart, and the ugliness of human nature are magnified several times under the mental skills.

At this time, Chen Jingming finally made a cup of tea for himself, took a sip, and said to Fang Yuan and me: "You are my subordinates who have been with me for several years. They are all the targets I plan to focus on training, especially Fang Yuan. I have seen potential in you, so I share this with you as the company's highest secret matter. The purpose is to hope that you can seize this opportunity, while creating value for the company, and also achieve your own breakthroughs. You two must perform well in this promotion plan, do you understand?"

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly, but I was immersed in a certain mood and felt a little dazed.

"Where are you, Zhaoyang?" Chen Jingming looked at me again and asked.

Fang Yuan pushed me, and I recovered and said to Chen Jingming: "I understand too."

...

After coming out of Chen Jingming's office, Fang Yuan immediately dragged me to the employee's rest room, lowered his voice and asked me, "Zhaoyang, Chen Jingming doesn't know your relationship with Mi Cai yet, right?"

"Nonsense, he needs to know that I know Mi Cai and can still tell me about this."

Fang Yuan nodded and said seriously: "You can't reveal this matter to Mi Cai no matter what. Not to mention your future in your work, you can't reveal it to Mi Cai for your kindness to us, just because of Chen Jingming's kindness to us. Do you know?"

I didn't respond to Fang Yuan, and I was still a little dazed.

"Zhaoyang, you have to distinguish the importance of this matter. This matter is not a joke. Even if Mi Cai is really your girlfriend, you have to keep this matter tightly and you can't even miss a word."

I suddenly became angry and stared at Fang Yuan and said angrily: "Are you a fucking human being? You can't look at this from Mi Cai's perspective. A lonely woman who lost her father and is now plotted by her own uncle to take away her father's property. How hard she has to do!"

Fang Yuan covered my mouth tightly, still pressing his voice, and said to me nervously: "Speak quietly, this is a battle for rights between them, and it is not something that little people like us can join in. This matter not only concerns the interests of the company, but also Chen Jingming's personal future, and even the two of us. If you tell me, can you deserve Chen Jingming's trust?"

I finally remained silent. Chen Jingming did have the kindness of knowing Fang Yuan and me. If this matter ended with Zhuomei's investment manager bringing two first-line brands into our Poly, Chen Jingming, as the biggest contributor, would at least be promoted to the level of deputy general manager by the company's senior management. Fang Yuan and I, as his confidants, would also benefit from it. This matter has already concern the fate of too many people...

Fang Yuan said to me in silence again: "Zhaoyang, you must agree to me, just pretend that I didn't hear this today, will it be true?"

I didn't say anything for a long time, as if I was walking at the most difficult crossroads in my life...
