All the employees in Venus Group know that CFO Ian has the best relationship with the Executive Director.
Following closely is Qiao Xi, the CTO, Chief Technology Officer.
Moreover, the reason Neil idolizes the Executive Director is because Qiao Xi was personally recruited by him.
Even the chief hacker of the Hacker Alliance was directly hired as a technical officer, how impressive is that?
And as the forr sales director of the O-region, Ian is considered his direct superior.
Neil couldn’t care about Fu Yunshen anymore and imdiately picked up the phone: "Director Ian."
"Neil, what did you do yesterday?" Ian has always been a direct speaker, starting with a reprimand, "Assigning you to the Asia-Pacific Region represents the Executive Director’s trust in your capabilities, what the hell were you doing?"
Neil was startled, too scared to wonder how Ian found out, and stamred, "Director Ian, I, I just..."
"All right, I know you talk too much, cut the crap." Ian reminded him again, "You are going to be the president of the Asia-Pacific Region in the future, so make sure you handle relationships with the employees well, got it?"
"The Executive Director said, if the Asia-Pacific Region’s profit drops by one point next quarter, you’re out."
Neil broke out in a cold sweat: "I will work diligently, and be considerate of my subordinates. Please convey to the Executive Director that I will always be his loyal fan!"
Ian was almost choked: "Tell him yourself at next week’s quarterly eting."
Hearing this, Neil was sowhat excited: "Will the Executive Director really attend the eting in person to guide us?"
Venus Group’s Executive Director has always kept a low profile and maintains a high level of secrecy internally because, in the first two or three years, Venus Group had a difficult ti.
Nurous local forces in the O-region were suppressing them.
High-level executives were frequently assassinated.
But as long as the Executive Director was present, Venus Group would not fall.
There were countless tis when Venus Group was on the brink of destruction, and they survived thanks to the Executive Director’s guidance.
Now, Venus Group has beco the world’s number one group, and the Four Great Financial Groups in the O-region must think twice before challenging them.
Neil was overjoyed; he would soon see his idol.
After the call ended, Neil looked at Fu Yunshen and dropped the pretense: "Mr. Fu, let be frank, I don’t appreciate you parachuting in."
"But your capabilities prove that you have the strength to manage the company. How about reconsidering the position of sales director?"
Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow and patted Neil’s shoulder: "Hmm, work hard, don’t let the Asia-Pacific Region get overshadowed by the O-region, or else when I return, I’ll be angry."
He finally beca a hands-off boss; there’s no way he’s going back.
Neil watched the man walk out blankly, his mind montarily at a standstill.
Just before reaching the door, Fu Yunshen stopped again.
He turned his head slightly, curving his lips, and gave a rather perfunctory encouragent: "Neil, good luck."
Neil: "..."
Damn!
Why does Fu Yunshen give off the feeling of a heartless capitalist driving him to work?
Neil snorted coldly.
Anyway, he was just venting his frustrations; Venus Group always cos first.
Neil sat down and began organizing work docunts seriously.
Before long, another call ca in.
The displayed region was the O-region.
Neil answered, sowhat impatiently: "What do you want?"
"Neil, congratulations on your promotion." The voice on the other end was Joseph, the president of the O-region, "With you leaving, the strength of the O-region is significantly weakened."
"President Joseph probably doesn’t need , right?" Neil mocked, "Are you worried that without , you can’t take credit for my achievents?"
"Neil, what are you talking about?" Joseph seemingly laughed, "I’m getting promoted to COO, what do I need your achievents for?"
The COO, Chief Operating Officer, is at the sa rank as the CTO.
The COO supervises daily operations and staff activities, reporting directly to the Executive Director.
The current COO of Venus Group is retiring next week, having reached retirent age.
So a new COO needs to be chosen, personally appointed by the Executive Director.
Joseph is indeed a popular candidate.
Thinking about the COO getting to see the Executive Director every day, Neil was infuriated.
He sneered: "The quarterly report hasn’t even started, and you’re already dreaming of becoming COO? You better hope you get it."
Without waiting for Joseph to say anything more, Neil hung up the phone directly.
Back in the O-region.
Joseph looked at the hung-up phone, his face showing so displeasure.
Beside him, a woman shrugged: "Joseph, I’ve told you before, Neil is not on our side. His blind worship of the Executive Director is the issue."
