In the Jarrett Hotel.
In the reception area of the suite.
Wang Yuzhang went down to arrange dinner, but Chen Ke stayed.
Li Dong wiped his face with a towel and asked, "How have you been doing recently?"
After all, Chen Ke hadn't seen Li Dong for some time. She said cautiously, "There are still many shortcomings. I have been learning these days."
"It's good to apply what you have learned. Watch and listen more, talk less and do more. Although I haven't paid much attention to you, I have asked you several times. As you said, there are many shortcomings. "
Chen Ke blushed. "I was just being polite, but the boss took it seriously."
She felt that she had done a good job. She didn't expect that after the polite talk, Li Dong began to criticize her.
Yes, criticism.
Logically speaking, Li Dong should be encouraging her at this time.
Bai Su poured a cup of tea for them and didn't dare to interrupt. She winked at Chen Ke carefully.
Chen Ke didn't quite understand, but she roughly understood what she meant. At this time, she had to listen to General Manager Li.
After Bai Su poured the tea and stood aside, Chen Ke said, "General Manager Li, I will remember what you said. I will correct it next time."
Li Dong finished wiping his face. He threw the towel aside, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he spat out the tea and said, "It's good that you took it seriously. It's useless to be perfunctory with me. Don't think that I'm making a fuss. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to say this. You have worked for me for so long, so I just said a few words. When did we know about Hongkelong? "
"In June."
"When did Huarun start to negotiate with Hongkelong?"
"In March."
"You received the news three months ago. You are the top retail company in Gan Province. Don't you pay attention to this? I don't want to talk about Wang Yuzhang. You came to Gan Province as a secretary. Is it difficult to collect information? If you can't even do this, then you've wasted the past few years of being an assistant. I didn't ask you to come to Gan Province to enjoy life. If you really want to enjoy life, you might as well retire in Jiangbei. "
Li Dong's tone was flat, but Chen Ke's face was red, and her ears were burning.
Li Dong glanced at her and said while drinking tea, "Sit down, why are you standing? Did he really think that he was a primary school student? Deputy Manager of the Provincial Branch Company? How could he not have any imposing manner? Qi Yunna was now in Huabei, so much so that Wumart couldn't even lift its head. Far away in North China is stronger than Wumart? You're in Gan Province with our headquarters behind you. Logically speaking, you should be domineering and domineering. Look at you now. You're acting like little wives. "
"General Manager Li …" Chen Ke said with some grievance, "I used to be a secretary. My job is to serve people."
Li Dong was so angry that he almost laughed. He snapped, "Who told you that? Who told you that secretaries serve people? That's your own position. I've never seen Liu Qi like this! Even Bai Su knows how to use her connections to intimidate others. Why can't you do the same? "
Bai Su's face was red. What did he mean? How was she using her connections to intimidate others?
Chen Ke also could not help but laugh. "General Manager Li, that's not what I meant."
"Forget it. I'll give you another six months. If you're still like this, go to Jiangbei to be the administrative manager of the branch company. Do as you see fit."
Chen Ke was dumbfounded. Did I say anything today?
No!
I was just being humble at the beginning and trying to get to know you. Why did you do as you see fit?
Administrative manager of the branch company …
Chen Ke was a little depressed. From the Chairman's secretary to the Provincial Branch Company's Deputy Manager to the Branch Company's Department Manager …
She was really doing worse every time!
If this carried on, she might really have to go back to Jiangbei to retire.
But Chen Ke was indeed puzzled. She felt that she was still doing well. At most, she was lagging behind in intelligence.
But intelligence was not her task. The entire Provincial Branch Company did not know about it. She could not be blamed, could she?
Li Dong snorted when he saw her aggrieved face. "What are you aggrieved about? If you were not my secretary, and if you were not good at making tea, I would have asked you to leave! You're so stupid and not motivated at all! Why did I ask you to come to Gan Province? What did I say to you before you left? "
Chen Ke tried to recall what Li Dong had said, but it took her a while to remember.
She remembered that when she left, Li Dong said that there were not many people he could trust. The CEO of the branch company was almost a governor, and it was not easy for the headquarters to manage them.
The headquarters did not manage Gan Province much these years, so Chen Ke was asked to pay more attention to it.
Chen Ke did not pay much attention to it before. She just felt that General Manager Li trusted her. Wasn't that the reason?
Seeing that she was still in a daze, Li Dong was a little disappointed. "You even worked under me. Your IQ makes people doubt my IQ.
The layout in Gan Province was first carried out by Ke Kelong.
At that time, Ke Kelong was not Far Away's business, but Yao Hong's.
Later, we took it over.
Later, we expanded to too many places, and the business in Gan Province was not very good, so we did not pay much attention to it.
I didn't pay much attention to it before. After all, Hongkelong had a great influence here, and it was normal for the market to be compressed.
But now? "
Chen Ke understood it now and said thoughtfully, "Hongkelong is not as strong as we thought. In Gan Province, they did not dare to go against us. When I came to Gan Province, Hongkelong was almost unable to hold on. Otherwise, they would not have negotiated with Huarun. "
"What does this mean?"
"Far Away is the overlord of Gan Province."
"Then why did the performance in the past few years was not good, and the profits were extremely low. When you came, the performance improved. You were so good that you led Far Away to defeat Hongkelong?"
Chen Ke was a little embarrassed. I did not do anything. How could it be me?
Although she was embarrassed, she was not really stupid. She hurriedly said, "General Manager Li, do you mean that there is something fishy about the previous performance and profits?"
"There is something fishy, and it is not an ordinary fishy thing." Li Dong narrowed his eyes and said, "I suspect that the entire business in Gan Province has been corrupted. That's why I asked you to take a look. You, on the other hand, came here and was flattered by a few words, and you forgot what you came here for. After so long, apart from a slight increase in performance, you have not made any achievements. Actually, if the performance really did not change, I would not have so many doubts. But during this period of time, the performance increased, starting from when you came here. How can I not think too much? "
After a few words, Li Dong said to Bai Su, "Ask Minister Zhou to come here."
Bai Su hurriedly left the room. After she left, Li Dong continued, "I don't think there is any hope in counting on you. This time, let Old Zhou bring people to investigate it carefully. Just cooperate well. My intuition tells me that there is definitely something wrong with Gan Province. If we can't find anything, it will be because you did not cooperate well. You will have to take responsibility. "
Chen Ke was on the verge of tears. You want me to take responsibility?
Minister Zhou brought so many people with him, but they could not find anything. Wasn't that proof that nothing was wrong?
But in the end, I am going to be in trouble because of your intuition.
Li Dong could not be bothered to care about her. After a while, Zhou Haidong arrived.
The moment Zhou Haidong arrived, Li Dong said, "Talk to Chen Ke. She is probably the cleanest person in Gan Province. After all, she is stupid, and no one can trust her."
"Pfft!"
What a critical hit!
The reason why I am the cleanest and the most trustworthy is not because I am his secretary, but because I am stupid?
So stupid that no one dares to try and rope me in?
Chen Ke felt so wronged that she wanted to die. Zhou Haidong held back his laughter and comforted her in a low voice, "General Manager Li is just joking."
Li Dong had sharp ears and snorted when he heard that. "I am joking? Are you kidding me? I should have known that she is stupid. I used to think that she could be trained. I was wrong about her. "
"General Manager Li …"
Chen Ke looked at Li Dong pitifully. Don't be mean to me.
Do you think it is easy for me to be a woman?
You didn't make it clear and even beat around the bush. You might as well say that there is a problem in Gan Province and let me take a look.
But you don't say it, and then you blame me for being stupid. Who can I reason with?
Seeing her expression, Li Dong did not want to hurt her anymore. He looked at Bai Su who had just returned and said, "Bai Su, talk to your senior and tell him your analysis of the situation in Gan Province. I won't listen to you. Call me when it's time for dinner. "
They nodded hurriedly. When Li Dong went into the bedroom, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as the door was closed, Chen Ke became bolder. She looked at Bai Su and said with a wry smile, "Susu, do you think I am as stupid as General Manager Li said?"
Bai Su smiled awkwardly and comforted her, "General Manager Li was just saying. Don't think too much about it, Sister Ke."
"It seems that you think so too." Chen Ke looked disappointed. This girl obviously agreed with General Manager Li.
Zhou Haidong laughed and said after a while, "Actually, General Manager Li has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If he was really dissatisfied, he wouldn't have said this to you.
It's just that you really disappointed General Manager Li this time.
In fact, before you came, we had already noticed that there was a problem in Gan Province.
But we couldn't find any direct evidence during the previous inspections, so we couldn't conduct a large-scale investigation.
At that time, we had a lot of things to deal with and we were fighting against Carrefour, so we couldn't make a big move and affect the morale of the army.
Before you left, did you forget that I asked you to take Xiao Zhang with you?
Xiao Zhang has been working in the Supervision Department for a long time. It's convenient for him to do things with you as a deputy manager.
But he came to Gan Province … "
Zhou Haidong didn't bother to say more, and Chen Ke was also very embarrassed.
Zhou Haidong did ask her to take some people with her. She thought that Zhou Haidong cared about her and was afraid that she would be bullied if she came here alone.
They had a good relationship. After all, Zhou Haidong used to be Li Dong's driver and bodyguard. Later, he became the leader of Li Dong's Supervision Group and often contacted her, his secretary.
Chen Ke didn't think too much about it. She took Xiao Zhang with her, but she thought that Xiao Zhang was specially arranged by Zhou Haidong to take care of her.
She couldn't let others be too tired, so she almost didn't let Xiao Zhang do any work.
If he didn't do any work, he wouldn't know the situation.
Xiao Zhang said a few times that he wanted to help and share some of Chen Ke's burden, but Chen Ke rejected him. Now, it seemed that she was really stupid.
At that time, she thought that Xiao Zhang was just being polite.
Thinking of this, Chen Ke felt despair. She said bitterly, "Am I really that stupid? The more I say, the sadder I feel. Brother Zhou, you should have just said it directly. I got confused by beating around the bush. "
Zhou Haidong shrugged and said, "General Manager Li said that he wanted to train you, so I didn't say anything."
"I'm about to be tortured to death."
Chen Ke was extremely helpless. It wasn't that she didn't have enough IQ, but mainly because she didn't have enough experience.
She didn't think about that at all, so she naturally didn't think about it.
She was a little lost when she suddenly rose to a high position and became the second-in-command of a province for the first time.
In addition, she was flattered by others, and the people under her did their best, so she didn't have to worry about it.
As time went on, she didn't think about so much.
If she was really suppressed by others, she might be on guard.
But she wouldn't feel anything even if they boiled a frog to death.
Zhou Haidong didn't want to hurt her and changed the topic. "Let's not talk about this. Tell me about the situation in Gan Province and see if we can find a breakthrough.
Gan Province's performance is actually not bad, but the profit margin has always been on the low side. Although it's not low by much, don't forget the base.
Last year, the annual transaction volume reached 3.5 billion, which was a decrease of 0.5%, which meant a loss of 20 million.
This year's performance was even higher. General Manager Li felt that Gan Province's 5 billion was no problem.
In the end, the profit margin was so low, which was 25 million.
Sunan's 15 billion turnover was only about 8 million. There were so many people, and most of them were used to reimburse all kinds of extra expenses.
In Gan Province, there weren't many extra expenses on the books, and the employees' travel and training weren't much.
In the end, the performance was only one-third of Sunan's, but the gap was as high as three times.
Although there's no problem with the accounts, according to our experience, there's definitely a problem.
The biggest problem now is that it's not easy to find a breakthrough. This matter depends on whether you can provide some useful information. "
Chen Ke's expression changed!
A gap of 20 million!
She had worked under Li Dong for two years, so of course she knew what it meant to have a shortfall of 20 million RMB in one province.
This wasn't a small amount, even if it wasn't much compared to Distance's profits.
However, 20 million was an unbearable loss for a company.
At this time, Chen Ke finally reacted. Mr. Li was so angry just now. He was not only targeting her, but also others.
…
In the room.
Li Dong was talking to Sun Tao on the phone.
"Wang Yuzhang is also a veteran. I'm sure he knew about the incident when he left the Longhua branch. It's hard to say if he was involved, but the possibility of him being involved is very high. "
Sun Tao said dryly, "Wang Yuzhang was transferred in the middle of 2007."
"At the end of 2007, the situation didn't improve, and it's still the same. I usually don't like to think the worst of people, but I'm afraid I have to think the worst this time. "
Li Dong said in a flat tone, "I can accept incompetence. I can also accept mediocrity. Old people should enjoy their lives, and I usually don't go too far. But this time, I have to make an example of him. I think he should be the model for this inspection. The CEO of a provincial company is enough. "
"General Manager Li …" Sun Tao didn't continue. He didn't know what to say.
"That's it. I'll go back to Pingchuan in a few days and talk."
Li Dong hung up the phone, leaned against the bed, and looked at the ceiling. He didn't say anything, but he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
