After leaving Niu Meng's matter to Hu Wanlin, Li Dong waited for the show to unfold.
But for a few days, the political scene in Pingchuan was still calm.
This time, Li Dong understood that these old foxes would only act after planning. They wouldn't make a move if they weren't confident. Who knew how long they would have to wait for the show to unfold.
Since he couldn't watch the show for the time being, Li Dong couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it anymore.
The three convenience stores that were smashed had already resumed business. The smashing of the stores was considered to have temporarily come to an end.
But Li Dong didn't stay idle.
After he finished with the stores, Liu Qi told him that the vice president that the headhunter recommended to Far Away had arrived.
This time, the headhunter recommended four people to Far Away. Compared to Shen Qian's batch, these four people were younger.
Being young didn't mean that they were inexperienced. These four people were veterans in the retail industry.
Even the youngest one had been in the retail industry for more than ten years.
Li Dong wasn't the only one who was concerned about the vice president. Sun Tao was also concerned.
He wasn't afraid of the division of power, but he was really powerless. Although Li Dong had been spending more time in the company recently, Li Dong didn't care about most things.
He was the only one in control of the entire company now, and Sun Tao couldn't handle it.
Moreover, when Li Dong talked to him about the shares, Sun Tao was a little worried. Now that they were hiring a vice president, Sun Tao couldn't wait for Li Dong to be like this.
The two discussed for a while, and in the next two days, Li Dong met with the four candidates.
After two days of selection and interviews, Li Dong finally chose a woman named Wang Yue.
Wang Yue, 38 years old this year, had been in the retail industry for 12 years, and was once the regional vice president of a large shopping mall.
Her status as a regional vice president was probably half a level higher than the deputy general manager of Far Away.
Far away was doing well now, but it was just a corner of Jiangbei. Wang Yue was in charge of the entire East China District.
The reason why Wang Yue was willing to come to Far away was inseparable from Li Dong's fame.
Because of Baidu, Li Dong became famous. Plus, he was young, didn't lack money, and was full of energy. These were the main factors that attracted Wang Yue to join Far Away.
She wasn't old, but she was very hardworking. It was a pity that the big store she used to work in was focused on stability. Coupled with the pressure from the higher-ups, Wang Yue had always been sullen.
Far away, on the other hand, was different. Compared to other large-scale markets, the developing Far Away needed a manager who was willing to fight.
Far away, she didn't need to be responsible for anyone else. She only needed to report to Li Dong.
Even the general manager, Sun Tao, couldn't control her, which gave her more freedom and more opportunities to realize her ambitions.
Because of all these factors, Wang Yue chose Far Away.
Similarly, Li Dong and Sun Tao had heard of this industry executive and knew that she was capable and capable. In the end, Wang Yue won the position of the deputy general manager of Far Away.
Li Dong offered Wang Yue an annual salary of 500,000 yuan, a car, and a house to keep her.
Although this treatment was considered top-notch, Wang Yue only smiled. In fact, the treatment of her previous job was not much worse than that of Far Away.
Because of Wang Yue's joining, Li Dong held a meeting with the middle-level leaders.
In the meeting, Li Dong announced the work that Wang Yue would be responsible for in the future. The two important departments, the merchandising department and the marketing department, would be under Wang Yue's management.
When Li Dong finished speaking, the whole meeting room quieted down.
Everyone looked at Wang Yue with a surprised expression. Obviously, they didn't expect that the deputy general manager, who had just joined, would be in charge of such an important department.
For Far Away, controlling the merchandising department and the marketing department would mean controlling the external channels of Far Away.
To put it bluntly, in this way, Sun Tao would only be responsible for internal affairs in the future, while Wang Yue would become the main force of external expansion. This was simply a figurehead for Sun Tao.
However, Sun Tao looked calm. In fact, this decision was made by him.
Compared to others, Sun Tao saw it more clearly.
Outsiders thought that he was a figurehead, but in fact, Sun Tao knew that although external channels were important, they were not the core of Far Away.
Far Away only had two real core departments, finance and human resources.
Finance was directly managed by Li Dong, and no one could interfere in this. Human resources was managed by him. Together with the logistics management department, he was in control of these two departments.
He had less to do than before, but his power was not less than before. Sun Tao was happy that this was the case.
Everyone saw that Sun Tao didn't have any objections, so naturally, no one would speak up for the injustice.
After the announcement, it was Wang Yue's matter. The meeting was not over yet.
Li Dong made another important decision, which was to set up a security department.
Far Away didn't have a security department in the past, so each store recruited individual security guards, which were under the unified management of the administrative department.
Zhou Haidong and Zheng Long used to be the head of security at the Longhua branch.
Li Dong didn't think about setting up a separate security department in the past. However, the previous incident where the shop was smashed made Li Dong understand that things were different now.
As Far Away grew bigger and bigger, Far Away needed to be fully prepared, no matter if it was in the right or in the wrong.
It wasn't enough to rely on the patrolling security guards. Far Away needed to have its own mobile force.
For example, when the shop was smashed, if Wang Cheng and the others hadn't helped and relied on the security guards, Li Dong probably wouldn't have known that it was Niu Meng who did it.
With the establishment of the security department, Zhou Haidong naturally became the manager of the security department.
Of course, he was only a manager in name. In reality, the person in charge of the security department was an old employee who was proficient in internal affairs and logistics.
As for Zheng Long and Cao Hongbing, the two of them also held the title of training supervisor.
Their responsibility was simpler, which was to train the new security guards. They didn't need to care about anything else.
The three of them were old people who had followed Li Dong, but they were all straightforward people. They couldn't run a department, so giving them a title was just to reassure them.
In reality, their main job was still to be Li Dong's bodyguards. The only benefit was probably the increase in status and salary.
Even so, they were overjoyed.
Who would have thought that just half a year ago, they were still fighting for a salary of more than a thousand a month, even willing to risk their lives for money.
However, following Li Dong, in just half a year, not only did their salary increase a few times, but their social status had also greatly improved.
After the announcement, the meeting officially came to an end.
Li Dong didn't stay for long. He asked Wang Yue to stay and familiarize herself with everyone and left the meeting room.
As soon as Li Dong left the meeting room, Shen Qian chased after him angrily.
"General Manager Li!"
Li Dong didn't stop and didn't turn back. "What's the matter?"
Shen Qian pouted and followed him. "Didn't you say that the vice president position was reserved for me? How did it become Wang Yue? "
Li Dong had already expected Shen Qian's reaction. He smiled. "There's no rule that the company can only have one vice president, right?"
"Do a good job. When the time is right, you will be the company's second vice president."
Shen Qian said angrily, "I don't believe you. You're fooling me again!"
Li Dong didn't know how many times he had said this sentence, and it was always in this tone.
In the past, Shen Qian was skeptical. But now, she didn't believe it at all. She could see that Li Dong didn't want her to be the vice president at all.
Seeing this, Li Dong comforted her. "I'm serious this time. As long as you do something, I will definitely promote you."
In fact, Li Dong didn't care whether Shen Qian was promoted or not.
Li Dong didn't want to let go of Shen Qian. Giving her the vice president position wouldn't affect much.
But he couldn't satisfy Shen Qian's wish too easily. He had to keep her in suspense. Otherwise, if Shen Qian became the vice president, she would lose her motivation and run away. Then, he would lose a big help.
Now it was just right. Shen Qian still wanted to be promoted. She wouldn't leave Far away in a short time.
No matter where Shen Qian sat, as long as she was Far away, it was fine. If she was Far away, it would be a deterrent to others.
Seeing Li Dong say this, Shen Qian couldn't do anything.
Despite her reluctance, in the end, Shen Qian still said sullenly, "Then I will believe you again, but I have a request."
"Say it!"
"Can you directly manage the Public Relations Department?"
"No problem!"
Li Dong agreed immediately. In fact, it was the same whether he directly managed it or not.
Just Shen Qian's Public Relations Department had two or three insignificant people. Sun Tao and Wang Yue wouldn't care.
Besides, Sun Tao also knew that Shen Qian had a background. He hoped that Shen Qian wouldn't look for him.
Seeing that Li Dong agreed readily, Shen Qian finally showed a smile.
