Ever since Xiao Zheng introduced himself, the atmosphere at the dining table had turned solemn. Xiao Yang was no longer arrogant and condescending. Instead, he became abnormally nervous and didn't dare to look Xiao Zheng in the eye. Everyone naturally saw this change, and they were even more apprehensive in their hearts.
What was going on? Didn't Chief Xiao look like he was about to flare up? Why did he seem like a completely different person in just a few seconds?
Xiao Liqun was extremely depressed. But he didn't dare to make the decision on his own. Blue Heart was also curious about Chief Xiao's abnormal reaction. But she had known Xiao Zheng for many years and knew that he was a man who was good at counterattacking. So she didn't think too much about it. As long as Chief Xiao didn't push his luck, Blue Heart wouldn't shed all pretense of cordiality.
Those who knew a little about the situation were silent. Those like Xiao Liqun, who didn't understand the situation, were burning with anxiety. Cai Lan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
He understood the situation.
Chief Xiao was afraid of Xiao Zheng, even terrified.
From his averted gaze to his slightly hunched back, it was clear that he didn't have much confidence in front of Xiao Zheng, even despair.
But on the other hand, no matter how prestigious Xiao Zheng was in the business world, no matter how rich he was. Even he wouldn't be able to move Xiao Yang, the head of the provincial bureau.
Whether it was a businessman or an official, face and rules were important, but profit was the most important. The profit of a businessman was real money, while the profit of an official was the intoxicating power.
Xiao Yang was at the head of the bureau, basically entering the core of power in Whitetown. Although he didn't have much authority, he was still familiar with the leaders of the various departments. He had political enemies, but he also had his own circle. Not to mention a businessman like Xiao Zheng, even the mayor of Whitetown or the secretary of the municipal committee couldn't make Xiao Yang step down. Everything had to be done according to the rules. If one didn't have the ability to defy the heavens, one shouldn't think about breaking the established rules of the game. If everyone messed around, the game wouldn't be fun anymore. The fall of every dynasty was due to temperament. If the game was broken, it would harm the interests of the majority of the participants. When the players found the game was too boring, they would naturally want to change to another game. Therefore, a new dynasty was born, and a brand new model was opened.
Even the absolute ruler of this city couldn't easily oust Xiao Zheng, so why was he so afraid of Xiao Zheng?
Cai Lan was extremely astounded, and his heart could be said to be in turmoil.
But to Cai Lan, who had suffered a lot, the reason was not important, and the process was not important. The only thing he cared about was the perfect ending. It was just like when he was an actor or a singer. No matter how dedicated he was to shoot a movie, how much effort he put in, how much blood and sweat he shed, if he didn't have a good box office or enough popularity, investors would not hire him again. The film market would also ruthlessly abandon him.
He knew that the situation at the dining table was completely under Xiao Zheng's control. But right now, there was no one to prepare for the next topic. Xiao Liqun, who had been competing with him all this while, was still gnashing his teeth in displeasure. Cai Lan knew it was time to do something. Even though she had just been beaten by Mr Xiao. However, in the current situation, he was confident that Mr. Xiao would not blame him. He might even be rewarded.
"Liqun." Cai Lan smiled and raised his glass. "We have been colleagues for a while. There is still a long way to go. I hope we can support each other and move forward hand in hand. Come, let me propose a toast to you. "
Xiao Liqun's thoughts were all on his uncle and Xiao Zheng. How could he have time to pay attention to this flatterer? This flattery was probably because he was jealous of his family. He didn't even have the interest to raise his head to look at Cai Lan. He just coldly snorted and continued to drink.
Seeing this, Cai Lan wasn't angry. Instead, he said slowly, "Liqun. We are colleagues. You can look down on me, or you can despise me. But as an old man who has been in this circle for seven or eight years, I want to give you a piece of advice. "
"Huh?" Xiao Liqun was angry, and he coldly glanced at Cai Lan.
Give me a piece of advice? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to criticize my life?
"Xin Ao. It's your boss. Mr. Lan, Mr. Xiao, is your direct superior. They pay your salary, and provide you with a good working environment. You can rely on your background to be arrogant and virtuous. It doesn't matter. But don't be presumptuous in front of the boss. That's the bottom line. "Cai Lan said word by word. Hearing this, the group of Xin Ao people at the table were excited.
Look at this. Look at how Cai Lan behaves. Is the boss someone you can trample on? You think you can go to heaven with a little background? If everyone is like you, how can the work be carried out?
Even Deputy Minister Wang had secretly decided to invest more resources in Cai Lan. He was the Deputy Minister of Public Relations, and he dealt with major media all year round. The guests at the table and in the club were also the top executives of the major media. As long as he asked, those executives would give him face.
What artists needed was popularity, popularity, and topics to talk about. And the media could give the artists what they wanted in this aspect. On the contrary, celebrities like Xiao Liqun who didn't care about Deputy Minister Wang would not only not get more resources, they might even be stabbed in the back.
This was the workplace, and this was society.
Most of the people present agreed with Cai Lan's point of view, but Xiao Liqun was not convinced. Not only was he not convinced, but he also said disdainfully, "Cai Lan, if you want to flatter me, that's your business. Don't think of me as someone like you. Do you know that when you chat and drink with those investors, you're like a pug? It's disgusting. "
As soon as he said this, not only Xin Ao people, but even Xiao Yang lost his face.
Flattering?
In this aspect, if Xiao Yang patted his chest and said he was the second best, who would dare to claim to be the first?
Xiao Liqun's words were like a harsh slap to his face. Looking at Xiao Zheng's intriguing yet dangerous eyes, Xiao Yang felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He shouted in a deep voice, "Xiao Liqun, shut up!"
"Uncle, I-"
Xiao Liqun was shocked. He didn't understand the situation at all.
He was obviously helping his uncle solve the problem, but he didn't say anything to support him. Why did he put the blame on him? Did he want to sacrifice himself after becoming CEO Lan?
"You what?!" Xiao Yang said angrily. "Get out of here! Get as far away as you can! "
Xiao Liqun's face was red from the scolding. His self-esteem and pride were completely crushed. He wanted to find a hole to crawl into and never come out again.
Xiao Yang said. Even if it was so unacceptable, he had to get out. He stood up and was about to leave this star-studded summit. Xiao Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spat out two words.
"Sit down."
It was strong and powerful, extremely majestic, and unquestionable.
