Chapter 1980: 1910 Leaning on a Big Tree Makes It Easy to Enjoy the Shade (Monthly Ticket 47500 Bonus ×95)

Hua Ying Ying froze.

Zheng Lao Ban's line of thinking is simply too outlandish.

I just wanted to mention something they might have overlooked, as a small repayment of the favor Zheng Lao Ban did for me today.

But Zheng Lao Ban actually said outright that he wanted to poach me! Is this persuasion to surrender, or threats and inducements?

He said this……

"Hua Manager, Lan Ke…" Zheng Ren said, nodding slightly, and asked Su Yun: "Ke Li said that on the Lan Ke side, they're the controlling party, right?"

"I think I heard it before, but I can't recall. Seeing Ke Li gives me a creepy feeling; I have no interest in listening to him speak. Besides, when he talks to you, he speaks Dutch, which I don't understand." Su Yun said somewhat helplessly.

It's really rare to get him to say words of surrender.

Boss this guy, he even learned Dutch and says he has no interest in the Nobel Prize? Bullshit! Su Yun muttered to herself.

"Never mind him." Zheng Ren looked at Hua Ying Ying and smiled: "Hua Manager, working at Lan Ke, your workload must be huge, right?"

Hua Ying Ying pondered what Zheng Ren and Su Yun had just said, and she felt numb.

Over the past six months, what exactly has Zheng Lao Ban, who flew out of that godforsaken place in Hai Cheng, been up to?

Hearing Zheng Ren ask her, Hua Ying Ying instinctively nodded.

"High pressure?" That's just a sugarcoated way to put it; really, it's basically impossible to get anything started.

"Going with the flow is the most comfortable. Hua Manager, you're a senior industry hand, especially since you jumped from Longwind Micro-creation; you're familiar with this situation." Zheng Ren said leisurely.

If anyone else said that, Hua Ying Ying would be furious.

This is like calling a bald monk bald to his face, trying to make an old woman eat grass she's already vomited?

But Hua Ying Ying calmly looked at Zheng Ren, and after savoring Zheng Lao Ban's earlier words, her heart skipped a beat with a premature contraction.

Everything fell into place naturally!

Everything was seamless!

My work at Lan Ke hasn't been smooth; why? Thinking of the expressions of Zhou Chun Yong and Zhu Liangchen from Di Du's liver and gallbladder department, Hua Ying Ying knew the underlying reason.

It's precisely because of this Zheng Lao Ban right in front of me, speaking with me in a pleasant tone.

If it were me…… no, given my seniority, after joining the team, would Feng Xu Hui be leading me, or would I be leading Feng Xu Hui?

Hua Ying Ying thought of this, and felt bitter inside.

Back then I was a sales champion, a star manager. Feng Xu Hui, meanwhile, was just a rookie fresh into the workplace, clueless.

But now, Zheng Lao Ban's meaning is that I should scrape a living under the fledgling's wings?

"Hua Manager, I'm too lazy to bother with Longwind's affairs. Since we happened to meet today, I'll add a few words." Zheng Ren said: "The Lan Ke side will only get harder to handle; please believe me."

"Why?" Hua Ying Ying asked.

"Because I only use consumables from Longwind Micro-creation." Zheng Ren said.

Holy cow…… what kind of confidence does it take to say something like that!

Hua Ying Ying's mind works extremely fast, and she's deeply involved in this matter; she's already figured out all the cause and effect clearly.

Soon she discovered that what Zheng Lao Ban said……

…was actually a true statement.

"Think about it again." Zheng Ren said, "But if I were you, I'd never pass up an easy, light, high‑reward job just to fight an opponent as strong as me."

"Boss, you're overconfident." Su Yun covered her forehead.

"Speaking honestly, if I were her, I'd definitely pick this side. It's not about finding a husband to stay with forever; hopping around actually makes promotion easier."

"Promotion?" Su Yun asked in surprise.

"For example, promotion won't happen; maybe you'll be demoted half a grade." Zheng Ren said, "You can't possibly outrank Xiao Feng. But working here is simple and hassle‑free, all familiar tasks—you'll soon swap house and car, marching toward the peak of life."

Su Yun smiled; usually the boss is unwilling to talk, and often while pondering surgery, he speaks without thinking, appearing a bit foolish.

But if he truly wants to do something, he must say it now—he even blurted out buying a house, buying a car, marching toward the peak of life.

Truly despicable and shameless, Su Yun thought to herself.

Hua Ying Ying and Feng Xu Hui stared at each other for a full three minutes; the table fell silent.

Gao Shaojie saw this and his confidence grew even stronger.

Zheng Lao Ban is truly benevolent and righteous!

He knows the story between Zheng Lao Ban and that young consumables merchant; if one were to say they don't care, no one could say anything.

Back then, it was a national crisis; whatever Feng Xu Hui did, morally speaking, was the right thing.

But Zheng Lao Ban's actions leave people stunned.

Since meeting Zheng Lao Ban up to now, Gao Shaojie has never heard him speak this much, except when analyzing a condition.

This really shows painstaking effort.

After the table fell silent for a long while, Hua Ying Ying finally asked, "Zheng Lao Ban, aren't you afraid I'll take over your nest?"

"That metaphor's a bit off, but I know what you mean." Zheng Ren smiled gently. "First, you need to know why one can make money easily and effortlessly."

"Whether it's Ma Dong or Mr. Smith, the East Asia Regional Executive Director of Lan Ke Company you're with now, I don't care. No matter who, as long as I stand on their side, they gain the advantage."

"Do you think, relying solely on you as a sales manager, you could convince any of them to let you stand above Xiao Feng?"

Sentence after sentence, simple, direct, brutal to the extreme.

Hua Ying Ying was lost for words.

Ultimately, the root cause still lies with Zheng Lao Ban. Normally he just doesn't speak and doesn't want to pay attention to these things.

But!

That doesn't mean they don't know.

This time Hua Ying Ying didn't think long; she broke into a smile, raised the drink before her toward Feng Xu Hui, and said, "Manager Feng, I'll continue to rely on your care in the future."

Feng Xu Hui was a bit dazed at first, but he knew this was Zheng Lao Ban finding him a benefit.

He raised his cup, gave a slight smile, and accepted it.

"Hua Ying Ying, Manager, is it convenient for you to return to Longwind Micro-creation? If you have any difficulties, I'll have Ma Quan call you?" Zheng Ren said.

"That's great." Hua Ying Ying was no longer polite and directly accepted.

As for future positioning, there's no need to worry; Zheng Lao Ban has already said so. Hua Ying Ying knows why Zheng Lao Ban invited her.

Coincidence is one aspect, but the main point is that Zheng Lao Ban brought Manager Feng to run the horse and claim land, and indeed they have secured it.

But aside from Di Du's liver and gall and 912, no one can afford to not be meticulous in care.

What he said is right; this job is simple and easy for me, and I can still earn a commission. As for how exactly to split it with Manager Feng, Longwind Micro-creation naturally has its own set of rules.

These insider tricks known only to veterans, Hua Ying Ying understands them completely.

Leaning against a big tree makes for good shade; Hua Ying Ying felt it was like a dream, never expecting that she too would have the chance to lean on the biggest "opponent," Zheng Lao Ban, this big tree!
