Chapter Summary
How come your sister, as the CEO of the Zhou family, has so much time?" After getting into the car, Liu Ning thought of this matter. I don't know what got into Bai Jingye, but he came to this city, so my sister had no choice but to come along." After hearing Zhou Tao's story, Liu Ning remembered that he had arranged to meet Bai Jingye. I don't know where these country bumpkins get their confidence." Seeing that Liu Ning remained silent, these people became increasingly outrageous.
Zhou Tao didn't hear what Fang Qiang said earlier. Even if he had, he wouldn't have dared to ask Liu Ning to change his clothes. In Zhou Tao's eyes, Liu Ning was definitely a heavyweight. How could he be qualified to ask someone to change his clothes?
Besides, they're our customer. These days, the customer is king. What can you ask of a king? And this is a super-sized version of a king, too.
"Did something happen between you two? I remember you said before that although your family has branches in various cities, you shouldn't have such a strong business here, right? Isn't our city not on a main road? It's just a peripheral city. How come your sister, as the CEO of the Zhou family, has so much time?"
After getting into the car, Liu Ning thought of this matter. Miss Zhou's time is very tight every day, and she even has to squeeze in time to sleep. How could she possibly waste so much time coming here? This does not conform to the values of that young lady.
"Who says otherwise? I was startled at first, but then I realized what was going on. Brother Liu probably doesn't follow this kind of news. Recently, the Bai family has become very powerful. They're the Bai family from Baicaotang. I don't know where they got so many potions, all kinds of them. They're completely taking over our potion market. Potions aren't our main business, but they still provide us with 15% profit every year, and it's quite stable. So my sister came here to talk to Bai Jingye from the Bai family. I don't know what got into Bai Jingye, but he came to this city, so my sister had no choice but to come along."
After hearing Zhou Tao's story, Liu Ning remembered that he had arranged to meet Bai Jingye. No wonder Bai Jingye came here and caused a series of reactions. Others might not know why the Bai family was so arrogant, but Liu Ning knew very well. All those medicines were supplied to them by Liu Ning, which gave the Bai family a lot of confidence.
Liu Ning looked at Zhou Tao apologetically, but didn't explain the matter clearly. After all, no one would believe him if he explained it like that. He would talk about it later. The car soon arrived at the Zhou family's trading building. The people at the door quickly opened the car door for Zhou Tao. To these people, Zhou Tao was their emperor.
However, when they arrived at Zhou Tao's office area, they immediately sensed a different atmosphere. The staff standing there were not very respectful to Zhou Tao. These people were all brought by Miss Zhou from headquarters, so they looked down on her.
In addition, a rumor circulated within the company that Zhou Tao's business performance had been poor recently, so many people felt that his position was unstable and there was no need to curry favor with him.
Besides, these people all work for the CEO; you're just a branch manager, not worth their time and effort.
They knew how Zhou Tao had been promoted—it was all because of a client who had sold two storage spaces at once, giving the group a lot of face in front of the client. But now that client hadn't come out for a long time, and if that continued, Zhou Tao's position was no longer so stable.
"Mr. Zhou, as you know, our president is in a meeting with the CEO of the Bai family, so we can't disturb him at this time. Why don't you wait over there for a while?"
After Zhou Tao explained his purpose, these people didn't even go in to announce his arrival; they simply blocked the entrance.
Liu Ning glanced at the secretary. It seemed that even after Miss Zhou changed secretaries, she was still the same old girl, looking down on people.
Seeing Zhou Tao's pleading expression, Liu Ning knew that Zhou Tao wouldn't dare cause trouble here. If it were just Liu Ning alone, he would have taught them a lesson long ago.
I spent a lot of time coming to see you guys, but I didn't expect to be blocked.
"I'm speechless. I don't know who they brought. They just want to see our CEO. Does our CEO have so much free time? If he had to meet these clueless people every day, he would probably be exhausted to death by now. The people below are also incompetent. They bring all sorts of people here. No wonder he lost his position as general manager."
Liu Ning and his companion sat nearby, while these people spoke recklessly, saying that the secretary hadn't shown any consideration for Zhou Tao and even described Liu Ning as a disreputable person.
Liu Ning took a deep breath. Can we just put up with this?
Even if you're too busy to see me, there's no need to call me a shady character. Did I offend you?
"Brother Liu, please calm down, Brother Liu, please calm down..."
Zhou Tao kept apologizing to Liu Ning, showing he wasn't afraid of offending these people. However, Zhou Tao didn't have the guts. Liu Ning could leave after offending them, but Zhou Tao had to continue working there. If he really lost his position as general manager, he might be transferred back to headquarters. At that time, Zhou Tao would be powerless and unsure what these people would do. As the saying goes, even a minor official is powerful in front of a prime minister. In the entire group, the CEO's assistants are more powerful than the vice presidents.
Liu Ning didn't look too happy, but he still nodded. After all, Zhou Tao had done a lot for him, so he had to give him the respect he deserved.
"They carry a dead rat in their pocket and pretend to be hunters. That's how it is now. They really think that just because they have something in their hands, they're a big client of our company. Do they even know the standards for our company's big clients? I don't know where these country bumpkins get their confidence."
Seeing that Liu Ning remained silent, these people became increasingly outrageous.
Liu Ning was really fed up at this point. How could you guys possibly do things properly? If the Zhou family relied on just a few of you, you'd probably offend all the clients.
"Please go in and tell Miss Zhou that I'm also very pressed for time."
Liu Ning stood up and said, "The people around me are all surprised. Where does Liu Ning get his confidence? Isn't he just someone Zhou Tao brought? How much business does Zhou Tao actually handle? Does he really consider this our major client? Can you compare to the CEO of the Bai family? The Bai family is aggressively encroaching on our market share; that's the most important thing. If they disrupt the meeting inside, Miss Zhou will probably blame them. What are you so arrogant about? What gives you the right?"
