"General Manager Wu, don't you still have to manage your Victory Real Estate? Can you handle being this busy?"

Wang Erhai asked with a hehe laugh.

Even Huo Guoqiang said, "General Manager Wu, act within your capabilities. At that time, running back and forth between the county town and the city, you'll have plenty to keep you busy."

Wu Moli, however, completely failed to hear the implication in Wang Erhai and Huo Guoqiang's words — or perhaps she did hear it, but pretended not to understand.

She spoke with righteous confidence:

"As for public relations, not to boast, but among everyone present, not a single one understands it better than I do."

This was indeed no boast from Wu Moli; after all, she had thrown herself into the fray, personally handling public relations for Zhang Sheng, the county town real estate industry's top figure. One must know that before she clung to Zhang Sheng, she was merely a lowly female real estate salesperson.

Her public relations ability was indeed not something ordinary people could compare to.

Wu Moli also said:

"Additionally, over at Victory Real Estate, business has already matured. Whatever comes up, I just instruct my subordinates to handle it; there's no need to do everything personally, so right now I'm bored out of my mind!"

Wu Moli didn't used to talk like this before.

Before, she said her Victory Real Estate work was too busy to handle, so regarding Liguo Mountain, she voluntarily proposed not taking decision-making power.

One can only say, the situation is not immutable.

The situation is like water, always shifting.

Before was before, now is now.

Now Wu Moli simply wants to be this Public Relations Manager.

Because she knows, as long as she sits in this position, she'll have the opportunity to climb the high branches inside the city.

Currently Zhang Sheng is already a bit tired of her; if she doesn't "seek a better post," she'll likely end up with the same fate as Yao Xueqin, ultimately disgraced and having dreamed a grand dream for nothing.

So driven by a sense of crisis, she took the initiative to fight for this position.

"How about we vote?"

Seeing Wu Moli's attitude was this resolute, Wang Erhai finally offered a suggestion:

"Everyone take out a piece of paper, write the name of the Public Relations Manager in your heart — is it General Manager Wu, or Zhi Hui? Once written, crumple it into a ball, then hand it up!"

After saying this, Wang Erhai also said to Huo Guoqiang:

"General Manager Huo, what do you think?"

Huo Guoqiang nodded:

"Then let's vote!"

The management personnel below began voting.

Swish-swish, writing names on the paper.

Then crumpling into balls, handing them up.

This was equivalent to an anonymous vote.

The voting results were verified together by Huo Guoqiang, Wang Erhai, and Wu Moli, the three of them.

Wang Erhai and Huo Guoqiang both thought Huo Zhihui had victory in the bag.

After all, the people below, as long as they had a bit of insight, could definitely tell that Huo Guoqiang very much wanted Huo Zhihui to be the Public Relations Manager.

After all, such an important department — blood relations are definitely more reliable; letting an outsider control it, he Huo Guoqiang wouldn't be at ease.

However!

The voting results were beyond his expectations!

7 to 7!

All votes cast on the spot, including those from Wang Erhai and Huo Guoqiang, the final result was that Huo Zhihui and Wu Moli received the same number of votes!

This scared Huo Guoqiang into a cold sweat!

Because he knew, he and Wang Erhai, as well as Huo Zhihui himself, definitely all wrote Huo Zhihui's name on the paper!

In other words, among the ten management personnel below, only four were on his side, while the other six were on Wu Moli's side!

This matter could be big or small!

Because this meant Huo Guoqiang was gradually losing authority!

Losing control of the company!

Wang Erhai was also inwardly quite surprised.

At the same time, he was deeply puzzled.

When did Wu Moli buy off those management personnel and bring them under her wing?

Or was it that the people below simply couldn't stand Huo Guoqiang covering the sky with one hand, and wanted to check him from below?

But after the surprise, Wang Erhai secretly rejoiced.

Because Huo Guoqiang's loss of power was a good thing for him.

At least in the future, when Huo Guoqiang makes various decisions, he won't dare to so brazenly shield his nephew anymore.

This is actually favorable for the company's development.

"General Manager Huo, the on-site voting result is 7 to 7, a tie. What do you say we should do?"

Wang Erhai looked at Huo Guoqiang, asking for his opinion.

At this moment, the decision-making power fell entirely into his hands.

Ordinary people might simply think that in this situation, directly appointing Huo Zhihui as Public Relations Manager would be fine.

But Huo Guoqiang, a business veteran who has weathered many storms, does not think so.

If he still forcibly appointed Huo Zhihui as Public Relations Manager now, not only would it alienate people and further cause his own authority to collapse, it would also harm Huo Zhihui.

Circumstances are stronger than individuals; to safeguard the overall situation, he can only go with the flow and concede some benefits.

"Since the vote ended in a tie, then General Manager Wu will serve as the head of the Public Relations Department, and Zhihui will serve as the deputy head; the two of you go build this new department well together!"

Huo Guoqiang said with a hearty laugh.

On the surface his tone was gentle, his smile amiable.

In reality, undercurrents were already surging.

Only now did he realize that this woman Wu Moli is not simple!

Initially she voluntarily took dry shares and declined decision-making power, clearly retreating to advance.

Now that she sees an opportunity, she finally bares her fangs, pouncing without hesitation to snatch the prize!

"General Manager Huo's decision is excellent; I express my agreement!"

Wu Moli smiled and stated her position.

Although Huo Zhihui was depressed, things having come to this pass, he could only express agreement.

Both parties involved agreed.

Naturally, the people below all chimed in to express agreement.

So this meeting, on the surface, could be described as extremely harmonious.

Only those who can see through phenomena to the essence can perceive the raging undercurrents within!

After the meeting ended, Wang Erhai rushed downstairs.

Because he still had to take his father to Guangzhou.

He knew his father's terrible temper; making him wait one or two hours, he estimated he was already furious long ago.

Sure enough, just as he reached downstairs, he saw Wang Zhanggen with a black face cursing and grumbling:

"You little bastard, you're finally willing to come out? I thought you forgot about going to Guangzhou!"

Wang Erhai let out a long breath of turbid air, and with patience explained:

"Dad, I just finished the meeting and ran down without stopping!"

Wang Zhanggen was impatient:

"Stop explaining, so many excuses, I don't know what ghostly look you have? Hurry up and set off!"

Wang Erhai checked the time, then suggested:

"It's already past five in the afternoon; how about we eat a meal first, then go to Guangzhou?"

But Wang Zhanggen huffed angrily:

"Eat what eat, hurry up and set off! Who cares about your one meal!"

Wang Erhai had no choice but to nod agreement with a bitter laugh.

He hurriedly took Wang Zhanggen out, got in the car, then sent Zhang Yueran a message saying he had to take his elderly father to Guangzhou tonight, would likely return very late, and might not even return at all.

"What are you taking your dad to Guangzhou for?"

Zhang Yueran hurriedly asked; the first thought that popped into her head was: Could it be that Wang Erhai's father has a health problem?

She had met Wang Zhanggen before, knew his health was not too good, and he had fallen and broken his leg not long ago, which is why she had this thought.

Wang Erhai's reply, however, completely exceeded her expectations:

"My eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a son, my dad is impatient to go down and see his grandson! Even if you delayed him a few days, he wouldn't be willing!"
