Chapter 252 Conflict
New Century Shopping Mall is a large comprehensive shopping center with a total of seven floors. Its annual sales revenue can reach 500 million yuan, but it has been a year-on-year loss in recent years. No important figures in the company want to take over this mess, but it is a good place for them to arrange work for relatives and friends.
The seventh floor is the office area of the entire shopping mall. Xu Tao's general manager's office is in the innermost part. In addition to the 67-square-meter office, there is also a slightly smaller lounge.
Sitting in the spacious office, Xu Tao looked at the company's articles of association and personnel situation on the table. This was the first time since he was beaten to return to China. Xu Tao understood that he might not have any leadership skills, and it was not his good at managing a company well. But now for Ye Yunzhu, he had to take this matter seriously. Zhou Zhengping deliberately arranged it to come to this mall. As for Xu Tao as the director of the company's logistics department, it was just an introduction. If there was no introduction, Xu Tao came here directly, and he would probably be strongly opposed.
"Dang Dang!" The door was knocked lightly twice.
"Come in!" Xu Tao shouted, and the door opened gently. A woman wearing a black low-cut professional suit and wearing heavy makeup walked in. She was Cheng Lili, the manager secretary here, and Xu Tao's current secretary.
He walked to Xu Tao's table and put a cup of tea and a piece of information in front of Xu Tao. Cheng Lili's body was half-beaked, and her clothes on her neck drooped. From Xu Tao, you could see her deep and coquettish voice: "Mr. Xu, this is the information you want. Please have another cup of tea to quench your thirst."
"Thank you, please do your business." Xu Tao continued to look at the documents in his hand without raising his head.
Cheng Lili stood still and said, "Mr. Xu, the local managers of all departments want to come and meet you. When will you meet them?"
Xu Tao raised his head to look at Cheng Lili. His charming eyes were really attractive. When he was handing over the work with the original manager just now, Cheng Lili was busy. Although she and her former manager in her forties tried their best to hide it, Xu Tao still saw from their eyes that the two people had a good relationship. Now this woman was acting coquettish in front of him, and she was obviously a person with a sensuality. If it were in the past, Xu Tao would definitely take advantage of it without hesitation. However, the women he had contacted for this period of time have never had such women anymore, and he has completely lost interest in them.
"Then let them all come in." Xu Tao answered lightly, then looked down at the files on the desktop.
Cheng Lili agreed and walked out, and glanced at the corner of her mouth. She has been working as a secretary for several years. When she served any boss, the boss would be serious at first. But she would take her to bed in a short while, so she was a little disdainful of Xu Tao's behavior. She was still quite confident in her attraction, and she didn't believe that Xu Tao, the boss, could bear it.
But then again, the boss Xu Tao is so young and suddenly came here to be the general manager. He obviously has a great background. If he can hook up with him, he may have a future in his life and he will no longer have to be a mistress and third wife like before.
Before Xu Tao came here, he did not overestimate his identity. People with an identity like Cheng Lili didn’t know Xu Tao’s origin. As big as Zhou’s Group, as if it were a shopping mall, it was not a backbone enterprise. Most of the abnormal changes in the head office were not clear, so everyone just knew that a new manager had a certain background. As for the background, only a few people who had some connection with the senior management knew it, and most people here didn’t know it.
It was not long, so Cheng Lili brought in six men, two women and eight men.
Xu Tao stood up and said, "Please sit down, I just wanted to visit you in various departments, but I didn't expect you to come first. I'm so sorry."
"Mr. Xu is so polite. How can we let you see us!"
"It's already very rude that we just came here. Mr. Xu doesn't blame us, so we're very grateful."
Most of these department managers are smooth people, and the clichés on the official side are very beautiful. Most of them have some connections with the senior management of the group, so they all know Xu Tao's background. This is not an ordinary role. They naturally say the flattery words very beautifully. Everyone sat on the sofa on both sides. Xu Tao glanced sharply at the eight department managers sitting on the sofa next to him, lit a cigarette, and said, "My name is Xu Tao. This time the group sent him here to work. It is not certain whether he can do it well, but at least I hope you all can work together."
Everyone felt a little uncomfortable when Xu Tao looked at him. The chubby purchasing department manager was the oldest here. He smiled and the fat on his face shook, and said, "Mr. Xu, don't worry about this. I, Wang Jiaqiang, will definitely support your work."
Xu Tao nodded and said, "That's the best. I'm not familiar with the mall now, and there are many places to rely on for everyone in the future."
"As long as Manager Xu speaks, I, Qian Dabao, will definitely be afraid that Manager Xu will follow him." The dark and strong security manager then patted his chest and shouted loudly.
Xu Tao nodded again, looked at everyone again, and said, "Why didn't you see Deputy General Manager Zheng?"
Everyone's faces changed, and they all seemed quite embarrassed. When you look at me, I look at you, no one looks at Xu Tao.
"Ha... I'm late!" At this time, the office door was pushed open with a bang, and a man of thirty-five or six pushed the door in. He was only about 1.7 meters tall, with a national face, thin eyebrows and small eyes, but his face was a bit arrogant. A plaid top looked out of place with the sweatshirt in the office. When he entered the door of the general manager's office, he didn't even knock on the door.
As soon as this person came in, all the managers in the office looked strange, but no one said anything. This person was Zheng Changyun, deputy general manager of New Century Shopping Mall. His sister married Zhou Yuming. He is Zhou Yuming's elder brother-in-law. Because of his background in the group headquarters, he is very arrogant here. Even the former managers had no way to deal with him and had to be angry everywhere, so they were angry. Their department managers are often domineering by this guy, but they can only dare not speak out. Now that Xu Tao is here, he is robbing food from the tiger's mouth, and Zheng Changyun deliberately came late and didn't knock on the door, which seems to be just a special provocation.
Zheng Changyun laughed and walked towards Xu Tao's table. The breath exhaled from his mouth was full of alcohol. He probably drank less last night. He hadn't removed the alcohol yet. He picked up the cigarette on Xu Tao's table and lit it, and said, "Mr. Xu, you came to the mall on the first day today. As the vice president, I didn't come to you as soon as possible. Ha... I'm so rude... I'll be a brother to be a member of the party tonight."
There was no expression on Xu Tao's face, which made Zheng Changyun's laughter look particularly abrupt. After laughing a few times, he couldn't laugh anymore.
"Who are you?" Xu Tao asked lightly at this time.
Zheng Changyun was already a little embarrassed, but when he heard Xu Tao ask him, he laughed again and said, "Look, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Zheng Changyun, the vice president of the mall. We will be a match in the future. If you need anything, just give me instructions!"
"Okay! Then I will tell you to go outside and close the door for me."
Zheng Changyun's face suddenly changed. Xu Tao asked him to close the door, which was undoubtedly an insult to him. He was a person without any scheming, and the anger in his heart also appeared on his face, standing there staring at Xu Tao without moving.
None of the managers expected that Xu Tao would take on the most arrogant Zheng Changyun in the mall as soon as he arrived here. Zheng Changyun is not very capable, but his background is great. Whoever can not give him face in the mall and offend him may be the job of losing his job.
But Xu Tao has a stronger background. With his relationship with Zhou Zhengping, it is not an exaggeration to give him this mall. However, they received news from the group's senior management the day before, and they must wait and see what they want to change here and not take sides without authorization, so they dare not openly support Xu Tao.
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Xu Tao looked at Zheng Changyun coldly and said in a cold voice: "Then I will repeat it again. You go outside and close the door. Don't come in again before you learn how to enter my door!"
"You...you..." Except for Zhou Yuming, his brother-in-law, Zheng Changyun has never been scolded. Although Zhou Yuqing is his brother-in-law, everything he has relied on Zhou Yuming, so he won't hold a grudge if Zhou Yuming said he is, but Xu Tao is a scallion. He didn't know where he suddenly came out and became a manager here. How could he stand this? His face, which was already red because of drinking, was a bit terrible. He pointed to Xu Tao and shouted: "Don't fucking pretend to be garlic here. Tell you, I'll let you do it here, and you won't be able to stay here for a day!"
"Is that true?" Xu Tao sat there motionlessly, his tone also turned plain.
"I'm here to see if you give you face. You're really fucking the chicken feathers as a command arrow. You don't ask who I am, and you're pretending to be a big-tailed wolf with me. I just won't leave today. What else can you do to me?" Zheng Changyun said more and more arrogantly. When he raised his butt, he sat on the desk in front of Xu Tao.
