"But what if Wang Erhai actually manages to pull it off?"
Although Zhang Sheng's every sentence made sense, Wu Moli still felt worried.
Zhang Sheng, however, was smiling, looking like he had everything under control:
"If Wang Erhai really handles the CEO matter well, that proves I, Zhang Sheng, have a keen eye for talent; the ultimate credit will still fall to me, and I'll also gain Wang Erhai as a capable general. For me, there's not only no loss, but there's actually a gain."
Wu Moli's brows furrowed, thinking: For you there's no loss, but for me, Wu Moli, the loss would be huge!
So she asked resentfully:
"Aren't you afraid Wang Erhai will betray you? You haven't exactly held back from striking at Wang Erhai behind his back before!"
Wu Moli also knew about Zhang Sheng's moves against Wang Erhai.
Her Victory Real Estate Agency was established only after Zhang Sheng set a trap to ruin Wang Erhai's Shanhai Real Estate, gathered all the resources, and then formed the company.
Wang Erhai couldn't possibly be unaware of this matter.
Yet Zhang Sheng said:
"I believe in Wang Erhai's character. He's different from you; he's not the type to quibble over every penny. Moreover, he values loyalty and righteousness, keeps his promises, and dares to face difficulties head-on. These qualities can make him a good CEO."
These words from Zhang Sheng came from the heart, without any exaggeration.
Because he felt that when Huo Zhi Hui went to intercept Wang Erhai, Wang Erhai could have completely skipped the shareholders' meeting. As long as he explained to Zhang Sheng afterward that Huo Zhi Hui had detained him and restricted his movements, even if Zhang Sheng wanted to blame Wang Erhai, it would be hard to do so.
But Wang Erhai refused to do that. He risked being harmed by Huo Zhi Hui, broke through layers of difficulty, and insisted on attending this shareholders' meeting, simply because he had promised Zhang Sheng he would come, so he had to fulfill that promise.
Truth be told, this matter forced Zhang Sheng to look at Wang Erhai with new respect deep down.
This is also one of the important reasons why Zhang Sheng insisted on pushing for Wang Erhai despite opposition.
Seeing Zhang Sheng was dead set on putting Wang Erhai in the CEO position, Wu Moli could only accept this fact in the end.
Now she could only hope that after Wang Erhai took office, he wouldn't do things too perfectly; it would be best if he messed up everything. The worse Wang Erhai performed, the more chance she had to rise.
So, once Wang Erhai started working, she absolutely had to throw some obstacles in his way!
She couldn't let Wang Erhai have it too easy!
And at this moment, on the other side.
Wang Erhai was driving toward the high school where Zhang Yueran taught.
He arrived at the school gate, checked the time, and it was just about noon dismissal.
So he sent a text to Zhang Yueran:
"I'm in the county town, waiting for you at the school gate. Let's go out for lunch together at noon; I have an important matter to tell you."
Before long, Zhang Yueran replied:
"Okay, I'll come find you after school."
In the blink of an eye, it was dismissal time.
The bell rang, and before long, many students poured out the main gate in groups of three or five, a mighty stream.
Wang Erhai sat in the car watching those students, unable to help but feel a surge of emotion; in a flash, it had been so many years since he graduated high school, but fortunately, things weren't bad for him now.
Others might want to return to high school days, but he didn't. Back in high school he was not only obscure, but also frequently mocked by some girls, especially Zhao Xingfang.
Thinking of Zhao Xingfang, he suddenly remembered: Didn't Zhao Xingfang also join Liguo Mountain?
Before, she was in Liguo Mountain's Public Relations Department, and was even promoted by Wu Moli to be a small team captain in the Song and Dance Troupe.
Who knows if Zhao Xingfang is still in the Song and Dance Troupe now.
And now, he, Wang Erhai, had become Liguo Mountain's CEO. The first thing he would definitely do was dismantle that Public Relations Department; even if he didn't dismantle it, that Song and Dance Troupe — a group walking the line of legality — would not be allowed to continue existing.
This Song and Dance Troupe was definitely a huge hidden danger, both for him, Wang Erhai, and for Liguo Mountain.
So, for both public and private reasons, he had to deal with the Song and Dance Troupe.
If he couldn't deal with it, then no choice — he'd just resign.
Anyway, he never wanted to be this CEO in the first place.
With a "smash the jar" mindset, Wang Erhai made up his mind: once officially onboard, the first thing he'd do was handle the Song and Dance Troupe!
Just as he was thinking this, a knocking sound came from the passenger side window.
Wang Erhai looked up and saw it was his wife, Zhang Yueran.
Wang Erhai pressed the car lock button; Zhang Yueran opened the door and got into the passenger seat.
"What brought you to the county town all of a sudden?"
Zhang Yueran asked with a smile, concern in her voice.
It was obvious she was very happy Wang Erhai had come to the county town.
After all, recently for a period of time, Wang Erhai had been staying at the farm in Shanggou Village every day.
Making it so she wanted to prepare for pregnancy, but couldn't proceed.
To proceed, she'd have to drive to Shanggou Village herself.
So actually she hoped Wang Erhai could return to work in the county town, but Wang Erhai had already made his choice, so she respected Wang Erhai's choice and wouldn't, because of her own selfish thoughts, interfere in Wang Erhai's career.
"Mainly because I missed you."
Wang Erhai answered with a smile.
Zhang Yueran was even happier:
"Smooth talker! Is it that you missed me, or that you want a kid?"
Wang Erhai said:
"Both!"
Zhang Yueran said:
"Then don't go back tonight!"
Wang Erhai, however, said:
"I'm afraid that won't work, there's no one to watch the farm."
"Oh." Zhang Yueran's face showed disappointment.
But then she said again:
"Then let's just eat something simple for lunch today, and hurry home."
Wang Erhai was stunned:
"What for?"
Zhang Yueran said:
"You know."
Wang Erhai, however, felt a pang of heartache for her:
"You still have class this afternoon, aren't you tired?"
Zhang Yueran said:
"It's fine, I only have one class this afternoon, and in two days my ovulation period will be over, we have to seize the opportunity! Right, didn't you say you had good news to tell me? What good news?"
Wang Erhai said:
"I'm going back to work at Liguo Mountain, and I've been promoted too, going to be the Chief Executive Officer of Liguo Mountain."
"Chief Executive Officer?" Zhang Yueran's face was full of surprise.
Wang Erhai explained:
"In layman's terms, that's the company president CEO."
Zhang Yueran immediately cheered happily:
"That's wonderful! Then won't we be able to be together every day from now on?"
The first thing she thought of wasn't how much salary Wang Erhai would get as this CEO, but that they'd be able to be together every day from now on!
But immediately after, her face showed worry again:
"You're CEO now, then what about your farm in Shanggou Village?"
Wang Erhai sighed:
"This is indeed a problem, now that I'm CEO I definitely can't manage the farm's affairs, so I'm afraid I'll have to find someone to help watch it within these few days."
Zhang Yueran took the initiative to kiss Wang Erhai:
"Don't think so much for now, hurry up and eat lunch, after lunch, hehe~ get to work!"
