It wasn't that he was belittling himself, it was just that Lin Feng and the other two really didn't have the ability to help.
After all, it was just a small matter.
A small personal mistake could still be forgiven, but once it involved the entire organization and the potential benefits of the entire Telecommunications Association, then it was a big mistake.
"It won't affect Big Brother Zhou's promotion just like that, right?" Lin Feng frowned.
Ceng Rui was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"That's possible."
Even if he didn't understand the situation, just from the scene just now, he knew that although Zhang Wenming wasn't as good as Zhou Wei, he was still a strong contender for the UK branch director position. If Zhou Wei's matter was reported to the higher-ups, Zhang Wenming's backer and connections would take the opportunity to make things difficult for him.
The position of director of the UK branch could really change hands at the last minute.
"Then we're really sorry, Big Brother Zhou." Lin Feng frowned. "The trouble was caused by us."
Indeed.
Strictly speaking, if it weren't for the fact that they had the idea to visit Milton Stadium and were stopped by security, they wouldn't have had to call Senior No. 3 and ask Zhou Wei to make an exception to bring them in through the back door.
If they really caused a bad impact, the three of them would definitely feel bad.
"What can we do?" Ceng Rui also frowned. "This is the Telecommunications Association's problem. Asking someone like Big Brother Chu might not work, right?"
Although they knew Chu Fangnan, the vice president of the Shanghai Telecommunications Association, who knew who Zhang Wenming's backer was? Not to mention, if it was just Chu Fangnan, he might not have enough power to speak in the headquarters of the Chinese Telecommunications Association.
Lin Feng rubbed his nose.
"Well … if it really doesn't work, there's still a way."
Compared to Chu Fangnan.
The so-called "resources" he knew in the Telecommunications Association weren't limited to this.
Even putting aside senior number one, number three, and Xiao Wu jie, just within the Telecommunications Association, not counting the Shanghai Telecommunications Association's vice chairman Chu Fang Nan, he could still find people on the level of Fang Hao, who absolutely ranked in the top three in the domestic Telecommunications Association system.
Furthermore —
If he really wanted to find a way to settle this matter, he could still look for someone at a higher level than Fang Hao.
An Xin tilted her head and looked at him as if she had guessed what he was thinking.
"Uncle Lin?"
Lin Feng scratched his head. "Oh … yeah. Although I haven't been in contact with him for a while, if I really beg him … it should be possible."
An Xin nodded and said, "If you're looking for Uncle Lin, count me in."
She thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "That makes sense. Compared to me, Uncle likes you much more."
The corner of the girl's mouth lifted slightly. "Of course ~"
…
While Lin Feng and the other two were whispering to each other, discussing how to deal with the situation and how to salvage the situation, Zhou Wei was still standing stiffly in the middle of the field. He took deep breaths to adjust his emotions, trying to calm himself down. Then he gritted his teeth and looked up at Zhang Wenming.
"I will handle this matter properly."
"It's my fault. I'll fix it."
Zhang Wenming sneered. "You'll fix it? That's a nice way to put it … How will you fix it?"
Such mockery came from his most hated competitor. Normally, Zhou Wei would have fought back without giving in. But now, he could only endure it. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and slowly opened his mouth.
"I will take the initiative to write a self-reflection letter and report my mistake to the domestic headquarters.
"If there are any other repercussions …
"I'll take responsibility for everything."
He paused for a moment, then raised his head to look at Zhang Wenming and said in a low voice,
"As for the rest … don't make a big deal out of it."
Yes.
Things had already reached this point. Zhou Wei couldn't deny the other mistakes. In front of so many subordinates and staff, he had to give a reasonable explanation.
But this had to be handled within the company.
Zhou Wei's thinking was very simple. No matter what, at least the repercussions of this farce couldn't easily reach the ears of the investors and partners.
Otherwise, the punishment he would receive might be small, but it could really cause consequences that would be detrimental to the overall interests of the Telecommunications Association. He really couldn't live with that.
However, even though Zhou Wei had made a bottom line concession, as a competitor, Zhang Wenming still didn't seem satisfied. The corners of his mouth curved up in a mocking smile.
"That's it?"
"I don't think it's appropriate. You've not only violated the rules of the Telecommunications Association, but also harmed the interests of the investors."
"If you ask me, I think we should report this to the investors."
"After all, we're all in good faith. We can't deliberately hide our mistakes, right?"
The words left his mouth.
Almost immediately, the staff of the Telecommunications Association went into an uproar. Lin Feng, Ceng Rui, and An Xin immediately frowned.
This person … How could he be like this?
"Shameless enough," Lin Feng commented.
Ceng Rui looked at Zhang Wenming with eyes full of disdain.
"This is what it means to be selfish … He doesn't care about anything else."
Speaking of which, it was really ironic.
One was accused of using public power for personal gain, but at this moment, in order to protect the interests of the Telecommunications Association, he was willing to take the initiative to admit his mistake, write a self-reflection, and report it to the headquarters. He didn't even care that his rare promotion opportunity might be missed.
The other person, who had just righteously accused his competitor of abusing his power for personal gain and disregarding the interests of the Telecommunications Industry Association, was now making a big fuss out of revenge or for his own personal interests. Even if doing so would affect the relationship between the Telecommunications Industry Association and his partner, he didn't care.
In the end, it was clear who was selfish and who was shameless.
He didn't expect Zhang Wenming to be so shameless. At this moment, even Zhou Wei couldn't help but be shocked and angry.
"Zhang Wenming, do you know what you're saying?"
"This matter ends here. Even if you are obsessed with the position of branch manager, do you think the people from the headquarters won't hold you accountable if you make a big fuss?"
"Let's solve our internal problems internally. Don't involve more people!"
He really felt that his competitor had gone crazy.
For the position of branch manager … Was he really going to drag more people, including the Telecommunications Association, down with him?
Zhang Wenming, on the other hand, laughed proudly.
"Don't worry, of course I know.
"But please be clear about this. You were the one who made this big fuss, I didn't fan the flames —
"And it's not that I want to deliberately continue to cause trouble and file a complaint ~
"But if the investor happens to be present, then this matter can't be hidden no matter what, right?"
A rhetorical question full of sarcasm and ridicule.
But Zhou Wei was stunned when he heard it.
"What … did you say?"
Without waiting for Zhang Wenming to explain, a staff member from the Telecommunications Association ran over hurriedly. He did not seem to know what had just happened. He saw Zhou Wei and Zhang Wenming and said, "Zhou Wei, Zhang Wenming.
"Hey, Brother Zhou, you're here too."
After greeting him, he turned to look at Zhang Wenming.
"Brother Zhang, Datong's Boss Hu just came over looking for you. He said you had an appointment with him."
