As soon as he said this, everyone's eyelids twitched.
When facing Lin Feng, Director Hu's tone was much more polite and gentle than when facing Zhang Wenming or Zhou Wei. However, it was obvious that this big boss was a little impatient at this time. He was just forcibly suppressing his temper.
Moreover …
His words were quite clear.
The pronoun he used was "Director Zhou's little friend." What he meant was that he didn't treat Lin Feng differently. If Lin Feng said something wrong, then the responsibility would still be placed on Zhou Wei's head.
At that time, it wouldn't just be "misusing public power for personal gain." It would also include "poor teaching" and other similar comments.
So at this moment, almost everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Because in their opinion …
At this moment, Lin Feng probably couldn't change the situation no matter what he said. The only thing they could pray for was that Lin Feng wouldn't continue to be stubborn and completely offend their big boss.
However —
It was just that most of the people present didn't understand Lin Feng's personality and temper. Otherwise, they would naturally understand that their prayers were completely useless.
"It's not that big of a mistake …"
In the face of this uncle's aggressive questioning, Lin Feng first scratched his head and said this. When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They were just about to rejoice that his words were tactful, but in the next second, they heard Lin Feng's next words.
"It's just that Uncle, you're too stubborn."
Once again, his words shocked everyone present.
Once again, everyone felt their vision go black.
It's over.
As the saying goes, don't stop until your words shock people to death … Does this little student really know what he's saying?
However, Lin Feng didn't care about what the people around him thought at all. He continued to say, "Of course, I didn't say that Brother Zhou did the right thing. There's definitely a small problem, but it's just a small problem. There's no need for Uncle to have such a big reaction."
When Director Hu heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, revealing a trace of a mocking smile.
"Oh."
"You think I'm overreacting?"
"Of course!" A certain someone continued to nod casually, but in the next moment, he was directly interrupted by President Hu with a cold expression. "Do you think this is a small matter? What's the most important thing in doing business? It's to be honest and trustworthy to our partners. We will never cross the bottom line in public speech. Since your Brother Zhou crossed the line the first time, it's entirely possible for him to do it again and again. Why should I take this risk? "
Lin Feng didn't back down. He stared into Mr. Hu's eyes.
"Crossing the line once is enough to sentence someone to death?"
"That's why I said you're so stubborn."
"You only know that Brother Zhou crossed the line and broke the rules, so you think that you can't continue working with such a person? Then why don't you think about the many times you've interacted with each other before? Don't tell me that Brother Zhou's down-to-earth work style and impression is all fake? "
"You have to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision. Can a small mistake erase all the previous efforts and achievements? Uncle, do you usually do business like this?"
It was a tit-for-tat, unyielding retort.
Those who heard it couldn't help but shudder with fear, but a certain someone seemed to be in the right and did not have stage fright at all.
Mr. Hu laughed in exasperation.
"You're just a student, and you're starting to teach me how to do business?"
"After saying so much, aren't you still defending your Brother Zhou? Of course, a small mistake isn't a big deal to you, but this kind of thing isn't as naive as you think it is. You can't directly compare the specific amount of effort and results with the specific amount of effort."
"Integrity and abiding by the rules are the most important things in business. You've abided by the rules ten times or even a hundred times, but one violation is enough to destroy all the trust you've built before. I'm a businessman, and I do business, not friendship. Tell me, why should I take the risk to continue working with you, huh?"
Mr. Hu's tone was clearly becoming more and more aggressive, but Lin Feng's tone softened. He shook his head and said seriously, "Uncle, I've already said that Brother Zhou is at fault.
"Uncle, I've said it before. Of course Brother Zhou is wrong. I didn't deny that."
"But since you're a businessman, you should know better than me whether this kind of risk should be taken or not."
Mr. Hu couldn't hide the ridicule in his eyes.
"You think it should be taken?"
Lin Feng nodded solemnly.
"Yes."
Mr. Hu was slightly taken aback by Lin Feng's incomparably serious attitude. He snapped out of his daze and frowned at Lin Feng.
"Tell me about it."
Lin Feng didn't show the slightest bit of hesitation. He continued to speak with confidence and assurance.
"Since we're doing business, let's not talk about anything else. Everything should be judged from the perspective of the most direct benefits.
"For example, the Telecommunications Association and your company are exchanging resources and channels. I don't understand the specific benefits in this aspect, but Uncle, I'm sure you know, so there's no need to talk about it. Let's talk about Brother Zhou. If he didn't take the initiative to approach you and build a bridge between the two sides, if he didn't gain your approval, you might not have agreed to cooperate with the Telecommunications Association, right?"
As he spoke, he paused and glanced at Zhang Wenming.
"For example, if it had been that guy at the beginning …
"The cooperation would have collapsed as soon as it started, right?"
Zhang Wenming, who didn't expect to be implicated, was so angry that smoke was coming out of his orifices. "You! What did you say?! "
Mr. Hu didn't seem to care about Zhang Wenming's reaction at all. Instead, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. He waved his hand.
"Continue."
Lin Feng's expression grew calmer.
"So, Brother Zhou's ability and attitude have gained your approval. In fact, that might be the main reason for the cooperation between the two sides. With him around, both the Telecommunications Industry Association and your company will be able to obtain a guaranteed return in the future. This is the biggest direct benefit.
"Of course, on the other hand, Brother Zhou also made a small mistake."
As he spoke, Lin Feng looked at Mr. Hu and said, "But speaking of which, Uncle, do you really think that this small mistake can affect the entire cooperation?"
Mr. Hu snorted. "What's wrong with being careful when doing business?"
Lin Feng shook his head.
"There's nothing wrong with that.
"But I remember that you've been emphasizing a sentence just now, Uncle. 'Public opinion is fair'. Since you've made it so clear that you can confirm that as long as Brother Zhou continues to be in charge of the following cooperation, both parties will definitely be able to continue to benefit from it. Uncle, if you forcefully cancel the entire follow-up cooperation just because of your own personal opinion, ignoring both parties and the subsequent benefits that your company can obtain, then …"
Lin Feng's eyes were clean and pure. He stared straight at the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Isn't that not too 'in charge of the upcoming cooperation'?"
"Or should I say …"
"It's more like you're abandoning the public for personal reasons?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The entire venue was silent.
All the staff members of the Telecommunications Industry Association couldn't help but stare blankly at Lin Feng with their mouths agape. Their brains were a little slow, and they couldn't wrap their heads around the situation. However, a vague thought rose in their minds.
These words …
It seemed …
He really forcefully refuted the logic?
