Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

The "certain people" in Huo Zhi Hui's words clearly referred to Wang Erhai!

After all, Wang Erhai was one of the company's three major partners, and also the company's second-in-command!

Even Huo Guoqiang couldn't easily fire him!

Huo Zhi Hui felt that Wang Erhai establishing this rule was clearly an attempt to bring the entire song and dance troupe under his own command, for his own use!

After all, this rule was a restriction by superiors on subordinates.

When a subordinate crossed the red line, the red line was a red-hot branding iron, forcing the subordinate to pay a miserable price!

But when a superior crossed the red line, the red line was a fiery-red soft persimmon — aside from sticking a shoe-sole of filth onto the superior, it was absolutely impossible to cause the superior any actual harm!

So in Huo Zhi Hui's view, the essence of Wang Erhai proposing this rule:

Isn't this just wanting to hog all the good stuff for himself?

Not only did Huo Zhi Hui think this way, all the other management personnel thought the same in their hearts!

They just dared to be angry but not speak out, not daring to lightly raise opposing opinions!

"This rule targets all company members, and I won't be an exception either. Once the rule is established, if I cross the red line, I'll likewise be fired!"

Wang Erhai's expression was stern and heavy as he made a clear statement.

The reason he proposed this rule was actually more out of a kind of selfish motive — he needed this rule to restrain himself!

Otherwise he might really soon cross morality's forbidden zone, doing things that would let down his family, let down his wife!

"General Manager Wang, you say that lightly, but who could actually fire you! Everyone, am I right!"

Huo Zhi Hui deliberately raised his voice, dripping with sarcasm.

The company's executives, egged on by Huo Zhi Hui, began one after another to screw up their courage and voice their opinions!

"Right right right, exactly! General Manager Wang is a company partner, no one can fire you!"

"Just afraid that when the time comes, the person who made the rule will be the first to break it!"

"This is a benefit General Manager Huo gave us; whether we can enjoy it is up to General Manager Huo!"

Seeing everyone's strong objections, Wang Erhai didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this point Huo Zhi Hui sneered again:

"If General Manager Wang wants to sequester the song and dance troupe as his own harem, just say so — no need to establish a rule like this to disgust us old employees who sell our labor for the company!"

Hearing this, Wang Erhai couldn't help getting angry:

"Huo Zhi Hui, I don't have filthy thoughts like yours; I'm only thinking for the company's sake!"

Wang Erhai spoke these words with righteous confidence!

But in whose eyes, he all had selfish motives!

And he indeed did have selfish motives — only his selfish motive was completely opposite to what everyone imagined!

Everyone thought he wanted to hog the feast, but actually he was restraining himself from sneaking a bite!

Huo Zhi Hui, met with Wang Erhai's furious retort, showed no fear but instead continued mocking:

"Yo, listen to you acting all high-minded — but that night, we all saw it, you took the song and dance troupe's Zhou Xiaotong to open a room!"

Huo Zhi Hui was Huo Guoqiang's nephew; here he naturally feared no one.

Not to mention now he had the majority's support; he was speaking for everyone, so he was even more uninhibited.

See, even Huo Guoqiang, hearing Huo Zhi Hui say such ugly words, didn't immediately step in to stop it.

Instead he stayed silent, simply letting the confrontation between Huo Zhi Hui and Wang Erhai play out.

"You..."

Faced with Huo Zhi Hui's mockery, Wang Erhai couldn't refute for a moment.

Because he absolutely couldn't say in front of Huo Guoqiang that that night he hadn't gone to play with Zhou Xiaotong!

If Huo Guoqiang learned that that night he hadn't accepted Huo Guoqiang's arranged "kindness" but had instead pretended to comply while secretly running off, Huo Guoqiang's trust in him would absolutely plummet!

Besides, even if he spoke this fact, aside from Wu Moli, who on the scene would believe him?

"Alright alright, stop arguing."

Only now did Huo Guoqiang speak up to take control.

He said to Wang Erhai:

"General Manager Wang, undeniably your proposal is very forward-looking, truly thinking of danger in times of peace. However, whether this proposal passes still depends on everyone's stance. How about this — let's vote now." Saying this, Huo Guoqiang scanned the crowd, then continued: "Those who agree with General Manager Wang's proposal, raise your hands — let me see how many there are!"

After Huo Guoqiang finished speaking, a full half-minute passed, and not a single person raised a hand.

The venue was dead silent, utterly still.

Wang Erhai's face was full of embarrassment, and a self-mocking bitter smile.

"General Manager Wang, the voting results are out — looks like your proposal probably can't be implemented."

Huo Guoqiang said this to Wang Erhai.

Wang Erhai sighed:

"Fine then, minority obeys majority — you all don't agree with my proposal, so let it go."

Wang Erhai could only drop it at that.

Soon the meeting ended, everyone dispersed.

The whole group of management personnel were quite displeased with Wang Erhai.

Saying some unpleasant words behind people's backs in low voices.

Wang Erhai could only give a bitter laugh, and it wasn't appropriate for him to say anything about them either.

However, this proposal of his wasn't as simple as just not being passed!

This proposal of his also offended everyone and lost the majority of people's hearts!

The influence on his decision-making authority within the Company is very great!

When Wu Moli left the Conference Room, she said one sentence to Wang Erhai in a low voice:

"This kind of thing, how could you suddenly bring it up publicly at a Company meeting? Don't even know what to say about you……"

Wu Moli had only managed to win a trace of good impression from Wang Erhai with great difficulty, making Wang Erhai owe her a favor.

But now this kind of thing happened, making her feel that this Wang Erhai actually wasn't as powerful as imagined, perhaps she shouldn't have spent so much thought trying to buy him off in the first place!

Can only say, when a person's mind is in chaos, it's easiest to make a mess of things!

If it were the former Wang Erhai, he absolutely wouldn't slap his forehead and blurt out such a proposal!

And now, responsibility to family, lack of confidence in self-control, and that guilt in his inner heart, made him act as if possessed and commit a very elementary mistake!

This mistake, no one present could understand!

Even Wu Moli, Huo Guoqiang couldn't understand!

Right now, after everyone dispersed, Huo Guoqiang kept Wang Erhai behind alone:

"General Manager Wang, not that I'm saying anything about you, but this proposal you should have discussed with me first, how could you just coldly put it on the meeting table, don't blame me, just now I wasn't unwilling to help you, but simply couldn't help!"

Huo Guoqiang spoke to Wang Erhai like this.

Wang Erhai gave a bitter laugh:

"General Manager Huo, it was me being momentarily confused."

At this time Huo Guoqiang asked:

"You honestly tell me, why did you suddenly want to put forward such a proposal?"

Huo Guoqiang felt Wang Erhai was really too abnormal today, so he had to figure out the reason, otherwise his inner heart would be uneasy!

He looked at Wang Erhai with a heavy expression, and asked:

"You wouldn't really want to eat the unique food alone, would you?"
