“Why are you messing around? Don’t you know what it means to stop when you’re good? You have to keep yourself busy like clockwork to be satisfied?”

 “The key is that you involve me again. You guys are so rude, why don’t you let me know in advance?”

“These old Western capitalists are so powerful that they can let you work for them so risklessly. But if you run too fast, you will fall down! Aren’t you afraid that your horse will stumble?”

Qiao Wanlin was lying on a wicker chair in the cafe, talking to Ning Weimin word by word.

 It was already after lunch, and not only the snacks but also the cups and plates had been removed.

 The leaders of each cooperative unit also left with their round bellies and three kilograms of raw Yuanxiao each.

Even the waiter was sent to rest by Ning Weimin.

 Only Qiao Wanlin was left alone.

 As a friend, he could not help but have another cup of tea and chat with Ning Weimin.

The first thing they talked about was the new cooperation project that Ning Weimin and the two leaders of Tiantan Park just mentioned.

Qiao Wanlin felt angry when he mentioned this.

It’s not for anything else, but mainly because the garden party is too tiring, and it’s really not easy to find ways to be successful.

Although Qiao Wanlin has made great contributions and is sure to be promoted, it can be considered worthwhile.

 But he really didn't want to be tired anymore, so he just wanted to have a good rest for two days and enjoy the fruits of victory.

Who would have thought that Ning Weimin would be so helpful today and arrange errands for him.

Just now, two leaders, Ning Weimin and the Temple of Heaven Garden, called him over and asked his opinion on two things: running a book market and high-end catering.

 What can he say?

This is to rush the duck to the shelf, and it should not be done but should be done.

 Afterwards, of course he had to discuss this issue with Ning Weimin.

But he really didn't expect that Ning Weimin would pour out his bitter words on him.

“Hey, Brother Qiao, how do you know what’s going on here? Do you think I’m willing to let go of my good life? I’m forced to go to the mountains, and I have no choice...”

“Don’t complain, and don’t fool me. If you have any difficulties, just show them off!”

 Qiao Wanlin smacked his lips, but the swords, guns and sticks didn't stop at all.

"Why don't I believe what you say? You are a big celebrity in your company! You even drive a car, who can force you! By the way, years ago, didn't you say that you would get everything soon?

Has the authority over the operation of the franchise store become the actual full-time leader of the operations department? Is the contrast between your attitudes before and after too great?"

“Oh, forget it! Actually, that’s not the case.”

Ning Weimin showed a regretful expression and handed the cigarette to Qiao Wanlin.

 After lighting Qiao Wanlin's cigarette with a lighter, he continued.

"Now I realize that I took it for granted! What you just said is right. If you run too fast, you will fall down. To be honest, I feel it now. I am just on the verge of falling down.

moment."

"Think about it, how many people have I offended in order to accomplish these things! I have almost isolated myself in our head office. Now I don't know how many people stare at me every day, trying to find fault with me.

Wrong, you wish me bad luck."

"You just watch me drive a car, just watch me hold power, that's called burning oil. If this continues, I will be cooked and turn into a crab with a red lid and be put on the table and have my arms and legs removed.

.”

"In the past, I really thought that as long as I made great contributions and was useful to the company, our general manager would stand by my side and always support me and protect me. But now I don't think so. I suddenly discovered that I am

No matter how important it is, it cannot be compared with the people in a company."

"Look at those lonely ministers in history, Wang Anshi, Yue Wumu, Yuan Chonghuan... who had a good end? The greater the credit, the more miserable the death. I don't want to sit back and wait for someone else's knife to cut me off. I have to save myself.

ah."

 Qiao Wenlin was surprised and couldn't help but think deeply.

“Hey, let me put it this way, this problem is indeed very serious. Your concerns are indeed justified.”

“Who told you to be so capable? Who told you to block other people’s roads? Compared with you, your work performance will be bleak. If people don’t hate you, who will they hate?”

“But I’m confused, shouldn’t you just put your tail between your legs and be a good person at this time? How come you have to do more things on the other hand?”

“I think your current approach is a bit contradictory to your goal! Aren’t you afraid of irritating others and accelerating the deterioration of the situation?”

Ning Weimin sighed again.

“Hey, the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail. I’m thinking that if the company really wants to deal with me, there will only be two situations.”

“First, I am of no use anymore, and the birds are gone, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked. Second, I am still useful, but the harm caused by not having it is greater, so the company chooses the lesser of the two harms.”

“So, if I don’t do something and settle for the status quo, it’s like seeking death. If I do something, others will be jealous, and there is still a glimmer of hope.

“Don’t forget, it was me who made the garden party and the sculpture exhibition a great success, and also made the event appear on the “Xinwen Network”. The company has no reason to kill me right away.”

“And those who are thinking about my misfortune may also think that what I am going to do next is unreliable, and they are just using this to find fault with me. This gives me a time buffer and can change everything.”

 Qiao Wanlin is somewhat talented in political tactics and he understood it immediately.

"No wonder, you do these things in such a hurry! No wonder you insist on tying the Temple of Heaven Park and our service bureau to your pirate ship. You want to use external forces like us to support you so that your company can take action.

!”

“Once the business in the Temple of Heaven is launched, if your company wants to win over you, it must consider the losses caused and our reactions from all aspects, right?”

“After all, when the time comes, the projects we collaborate on will become everyone’s business, and you, the core figure, are very important. If we take you down, you and your family won’t be able to have the final say.”

Ning Weimin curled his lips and glanced at Qiao Wanlin as if he was a bitch and wanted to build a memorial arch.

"Don't say it so harshly. What do you mean by being on a pirate ship? Am I, Ning Weimin, someone who treats my friends badly? Whatever I do, I will always base it on the principle of mutual benefit."

“I even dare to guarantee that even our company will benefit from what I want to do. I have a bottom line and professional ethics.”

"Anyway, our general manager, Sister Song, treats me well. She not only re-employed me, but also gave me a lot of power and a very generous treatment. Even if I develop on my own in the future, I have to work for the company sincerely now. My

The purpose is nothing more than self-protection."

 After taking a sip of tea, he continued.

"Actually, I know very well that in this world, no matter where a person climbs, there will always be a force strong enough to kick you away. However, if you can occupy a small and vital territory in advance, this force will

The force must at least listen to your opinion. If you have the support of some powerful friends, this force may even allow you to negotiate terms."

"Of course I can't let myself become a character whose conditions can't be negotiated! The so-called killing of donkeys is actually a stupid donkey. The positions of those who push the mill and those who kill donkeys are not interchangeable. The key is to look at

Are you intelligent enough?"

"And I think that a person's actual power depends not only on his own position, but also on the network of relationships to which he belongs. Although I am not a big shot, if I can get the big shots to listen to me, it will be the same.

I have also become a big shot. In other words, people like me who have no power can still have power indirectly by relying on face and connections."

"Then tell me, is it normal for me to ask you to be a foreign aid? We have friendship and a tacit understanding with each other. If it were you, wouldn't you do the same? If you insist on using it, I won't defend it, but I

I can guarantee that if you trust me, you will not suffer any loss."

 After pondering seriously for a while, Qiao Wanlin finally made a promise.

"I understand your situation. As a friend, I will help you. Maybe I owed you something in my previous life, so I have to listen to you in this life."

But then a trace of worry flashed across his face, and he couldn't help but ask some worried questions.

"But I have to advise you, don't be too confident. I'm afraid you won't like to hear it, but what should you do if anything changes in this matter? After all, there are too many variables, and investing in high-end restaurants is not a trivial matter.

.What if things don’t go as smoothly as you thought, and the Temple of Heaven wants to change its mind? And if you do this, I still think it’s treating the symptoms but not the root cause.”

Ning Weimin immediately expressed his gratitude, but his confident attitude did not change.

“Thank you, Brother Qiao, for being so willing to put yourself in my shoes. Don’t worry.”

"First of all, I'm really not worried that this thing won't work. Even if the Temple of Heaven Garden withdraws and is unwilling to do it, I can still find someone else to do it. Why? Because I have mines and treasures."

"Don't forget, Pierre Carton is a foreign-funded enterprise. It is the only truly pure foreign enterprise in mainland China, except for enterprises invested by Hong Kong companies. Our company has attracted the attention of high-level national officials and has also received preferential policies.

.”

"The first three years are tax-free, and the next three years are tax-reduced. Even the cars used by our company are tax-free. How much does this cost? To put it bluntly, what unit has no brains and doesn't want to buy a car?

Let’s take a seat in the car.”

"Secondly, I won't put all my eggs in one basket. Frankly speaking, winning foreign aid is just a move on my part. At the same time, within our company, I also plan to find something beneficial for people who care about me.

Do."

“Everyone puts profit first. Are you saying that if everyone is busy with business, no one will care about me? This is called a two-pronged approach.”

"What's more, if you take a step back, you don't think that I will stay at Pierre Carton for the rest of my life, right? In fact, I have no intention of having an iron job at all, otherwise I wouldn't leave our hotel so happily.

"

"If we unite, we will get together, if we don't, we will separate. It's no big deal. All I want is to be fully prepared. My most ideal result is to stay in Pierre Carton and guard the Zhai Palace for a few years. That's enough.

"I can definitely arrange a way out for myself..." Qiao Wanlin couldn't help but said sincerely, "Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading. Weimin, your way of handling this matter is really interesting. I have to admit, you

I will most likely encounter the situation I am in today. I am very lucky that I can learn some experience from you in advance."
