Chapter 551: Dealing with Xiao Long's matter

"You cultivate, yet you're still hugging women to sleep; I don't cultivate, yet I'm still hugging women to play. We're just different in name." Shi Yong shouted.

"I'm not chatting anymore, Brother Jianqiang; don't forget tonight." Hou Laoban hurried away.

At this moment, Shi Yong clenched his fists with both hands, squatted down, and began to mutter under his breath.

"A man who grips firmly with both hands can endure long battle."

I ignored Shi Yong.

Then I walked out of the room.

I went out alone to walk on the street.

Why should I contact Tian Shi through Hou Laoban? So that Hou Laoban knows he will definitely report to Wen Han.

Actually, I also wanted to tell Wen Han that my every move is within his control.

So he won't have doubts.

Time quickly came to evening.

Shi Yong went to the hotel's bath center to experience Hou Laoban's method.

I simply ate a bit of food alone and waited for Tian Shi's arrival.

Around nine o'clock, the attendant notified me,

Tian Shi was waiting for me in the meeting room on the third floor.

I went to the third-floor meeting room.

Upon entering the meeting, Tian Shi was sitting on the sofa smoking.

Seeing me come in, he wanted to stand up to greet me.

I hurried over,

"Tian Shi, it's really late to disturb you, I'm really sorry."

"As soon as Hou Laoban told me, I wanted to see you right away, but you also know there are endless meetings, upper-level meetings, lower-level meetings, really meeting after meeting.

"Sigh, it went on until eight p. m., just for that matter, needing to arrange back and forth, really troublesome." Tian Shi sighed.

I laughed: "If you're not in the position, you don't plan the politics. Tian Shi, there's no way; holding meetings is one way to concentrate thoughts."

Tian Shi laughed heartily: "Jianqiang's awareness is higher. Too bad many people fundamentally lack this awareness.

"They don't listen to the policies from above, just work according to their own tempers—how can that work?

"We must unify thinking; only then do we have executive power."

"What Tian Shi said is right; we must unify thinking, and only when thinking is unified can the big guys know what to do and what not to do, whom to listen to and whom not to." I took out a cigarette and handed it to Tian Shi.

"Jianqiang, as a manager, when managing Da Heng Group, have you ever encountered subordinates who don't obey, and how do you usually deal with it?" Tian Shi took the cigarette.

No need to ask, Tian Shi has encountered resistance at work.

This is normal; a new leader always encounters various resistances. Some are old forces, like the people of Kong Shi, who have received favors from Kong Shi and definitely don't want to listen to Tian Shi.

Also, there are some other local bullies.

These people have already formed a circle of local power.

For their own interests, they also don't allow others to interfere.

Tian Shi asked me this, and I only smiled: "Tian Shi, I'm an unsuccessful manager; Da Heng Group could be ruined, and here I am all failed experience—such experience isn't good to say."

"Jianqiang, if you keep doing this, you'll treat me as an outsider; I need to hear sincere words. Know that you've been in Zaocheng for years, you know local affairs better than I do."

I said, we should help each other.

The affairs of Da Heng Group are not your responsibility.

"Let's talk about that later; I need someone who can genuinely devise plans for me." Tian Shi looked at me sincerely.

I knew Tian Shi was sincerely asking me.

I said: "Tian Shi, judging from my experience managing Da Heng Group, 'kindness does not command troops, weakness does not hold power'—this saying is very practical.

The problems that have arisen in Da Heng Group are mainly caused by my indulgence and weakness.

A qualified manager must display a firm side.

For subordinates who don't obey orders, we must strike them hard, so they know who is the absolute authority, who here says one thing and means it. No matter how many there are, no matter what kind of gang they form.

First, we must divide and conquer them; actually these interest groups are each centered around a core figure. As long as we find that core figure and deal with him, the interest group will immediately disperse.

Just as the ancient saying goes: capture the bandit by first capturing their leader.

"Tian Shi, your management experience is richer than mine; in front of you I'm showing off my modest skills."

After I finished speaking,

Tian Shi immediately burst into applause,

"Jianqiang, that was great. I'm currently facing exactly this problem; some people are deliberately sabotaging my efforts.

The things I arrange, they intentionally don't do, and even cause trouble within.

Management experience—I really don't have much; I've always worked in the Provincial Capital's agencies, and I've never truly managed on the ground.

I never expected the locality to be so complex.

Many things, I must personally supervise to be effective; otherwise I'll just add trouble.

I just came to Zaocheng; frankly, I have ambitions, I want to achieve something.

But I clearly feel that a few people want to squeeze me out.

For example, the matter of Li Ming.

I know why you came to find me.

Is it because of Li Ming's matter that you came.

This time I must arrest Li Ming; he's caused a big commotion. I merely detained him.

But down there are a few people,

They think detaining Li Ming was too cheap, so they want to blow the matter up.

They think I'm abusing the law for personal gain and intend to go to the Provincial Capital to sue me.

I didn't expect this trivial matter to cause so much trouble.

"Tian Shi, I'm not here this time because of Li Ming; you were right to arrest him, and detaining him was already a courtesy.

Really, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I can understand what you said,

Many people are watching us; a slight slip and they'll target us.

Tian Shi, set Li Ming's matter aside; let him stay inside and have some peace, it's good for him.

I'm here for another matter."

"Oh, as long as you don't get angry with me, that's fine. As for Li Ming, actually arresting him was truly protecting him.

If he makes the matter too big, he'll fall into the trap of those people behind him. Li Ming is being used as a gun. By the way, what brings you here." Tian Shi took a drag of his cigarette and said.

"I'm here for Li Ming's son Xiao Long; isn't the city recruiting a batch of staff soon?

Li Ming's son Xiao Long has already applied. Based on his scores, he should be about to pass; the key is the interview.

Because his father has been detained, once they check during the interview, he'll definitely be disqualified.

I came to see Tian Shi because of Xiao Long; I hope Tian Shi can give this kid a hand and get him a job in the city.

The kid graduated from the police academy and his professional skills are very strong,

and he's very loyal, a seed that can be well cultivated.

Tian Shi, let me put it this way: whatever you do, you need a loyal subordinate, otherwise it's hard to carry out work.

You should now focus on nurturing people you trust, to facilitate your work in the city." I finished speaking and looked at Tian Shi.

Tian Shi took another drag of his cigarette at that moment,

He didn't answer me immediately,

He was contemplating what I just said.

After a while,

Tian Shi said, "Xiao Long, right? Later, have him go to the Zaocheng Grand Hotel for a visit; I want to meet him."

Jianqiang, you're right; we must cultivate our own people.

Since it's the person you recommended, I will examine him carefully.

This recruitment is highly competitive; some people have already used their connections above. Many people from the Provincial Capital have already greeted me.

They asked me to help them. I'm also in a difficult spot.
