Li Xiulan
The house purchase was settled like that; after dealing with Liu Ming, they would go to Guangzhou to look at houses.
The next day, Wang Erhai began dealing with Liu Ming.
After the early meeting, Wang Erhai called Liu Ming into the office alone.
Liu Ming was overjoyed, thinking Wang Erhai was going to promote him and raise his salary.
The employees of the Sales Department were also cheering and celebrating.
Asking Liu Ming to treat them to dinner tonight.
Liu Ming readily agreed, saying he would treat all Sales Department employees to a big meal tonight.
Then he happily went to Wang Erhai's office.
"General Manager Wang, what do you need me for?"
Liu Ming's face was beaming with smiles.
He had already prepared himself mentally to accept Wang Erhai's praise, and prepared himself mentally for a promotion and raise.
Wang Erhai was expressionless, unhurried:
"Brother Liu, this Huangsheng New City property, we can say it's sold out; we owe much of this to you. If it weren't for you leading our Sales Department brothers fighting on the front lines, we couldn't have achieved today's results."
Hearing Wang Erhai's praise, Liu Ming smiled and humbly said:
"This is all thanks to General Manager Wang's capable leadership. If it weren't for General Manager Wang trusting me and delegating all sales authority to me, I wouldn't have been able to show my talents."
Wang Erhai then said:
"An employee as capable as you is truly rare and precious. I really think highly of you and want to keep you by my side, but... sigh..."
Wang Erhai suddenly sighed.
Liu Ming was stunned.
The smile on his face froze.
Only then did he realize something was wrong:
"General Manager Wang, I don't understand what you mean..."
Wang Erhai glanced at him, then continued:
"I originally planned to formally promote you to head of the Sales Department after New Year's Day, but now my older brother personally asked me, saying he wants you to work at his company. I really can't bear to lose you!"
"This..."
Liu Ming didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wang Erhai explained:
"You should also know that our company in this county town is just a branch of Shanhai Real Estate. The Guangzhou side, where my older brother holds the helm, is the Head Office of Shanhai Real Estate. Now the Head Office lacks talent, and my older brother thinks you're so capable that he wants to transfer you to work there. This is actually a good thing for you—the Head Office is a bigger platform, and you'll have more room to shine. It's just that I really can't bear to see you leave."
Wang Erhai sighed with a face full of regret, as if he truly couldn't bear to part with Liu Ming.
Liu Ming had already sensed something was off, and he hurriedly asked the key question:
"What about the salary..."
Wang Erhai said:
"This counts as a promotion, so your salary will naturally increase somewhat. As for how much, I can't decide; my older brother will have to arrange it."
"Oh, I see, that's fine then."
Liu Ming finally accepted this arrangement. "Since the Head Office needs me, I'll go work there. Although my wife and children are on this county side, Guangzhou isn't far from the county town, so coming back once a week will do."
Liu Ming didn't actually know much about the Head Office on the Guangzhou side. He just relied on preconceived stereotypes, thinking the Head Office must be better than the branch, so he accepted this transfer.
He didn't know that the Shanhai Real Estate Head Office on the Guangzhou side was still limited to the second-hand housing market, and its business wasn't as good as the county side's.
Wang Erhai was still sighing:
"I can't bear to lose you, Brother Liu. You're too important to me."
Liu Ming was moved, truly thinking Wang Erhai couldn't bear to part with him.
After all, he truly thought that the current performance of the Shanhai Real Estate County Branch was largely due to his own contributions.
"General Manager Wang, if there's anything you don't understand about sales in the future, you can ask me directly. Although I won't be working here anymore, our friendship will always remain... By the way, when do I report to the Head Office?"
Wang Erhai said:
"You hand over your work to me today, and you can report to the Head Office tomorrow."
Liu Ming was stunned:
"General Manager Wang, I haven't chosen a successor for the Sales Department yet?"
Wang Erhai said:
"Things happened suddenly, and there's no other way. After you leave, I'll manage the Sales Department myself. As for the Sales Department leader, I'll slowly find a suitable person later."
Liu Ming then realized Wang Erhai just wanted to take control of the Sales Department's power again. But he also gladly accepted this result. After all, transferring to the Head Office counted as a promotion, with more room for development—why not?
It was just that he didn't know what would happen to those brothers below.
Previously, quite a few brothers had often badmouthed Wang Erhai behind his back, saying Wang Erhai indulged Liu Meiqi, saying Wang Erhai only knew how to flatter Huangsheng, saying Wang Erhai understood nothing and just gave random orders.
Wang Erhai definitely knew a thing or two about these matters; before, he had just pretended not to hear.
But from now on, it would be different.
After leaving the office, Liu Ming immediately announced to the Sales Department employees that he would transfer to the Head Office tomorrow to be Sales Manager. The Sales Department employees cheered and were happy for Liu Ming.
They also asked, if they went to Guangzhou to rely on Liu Ming in the future, would Liu Ming take them in?
Liu Ming laughed: "Rest assured, one day as brothers, brothers for a lifetime. If you really come to Guangzhou to rely on me in the future, I will definitely show you the ropes!"
That day Liu Ming handed over his work to Wang Erhai, and that evening he invited all employees of the Sales Department to have a meal together.
He also invited Wang Erhai, but Wang Erhai declined his invitation on the grounds of being busy with work.
Wang Erhai's actions made Liu Ming even more certain of his guess.
This basically confirmed to him that Wang Erhai just wanted to get rid of him.
However, the matter was already settled, and it no longer mattered what Wang Erhai thought in his heart.
As a workplace person, one must adjust one's mindset in time to deal with the next brand-new job.
That night after returning home, he told his wife and children about going to work in Guangzhou, and then he drove to the Headquarters to report for duty the next day.
Wang Dashan attached great importance to Liu Ming, because he had always lacked a subordinate who could take charge independently.
And Liu Ming happened to be able to fill this vacancy.
So he even held a welcome ceremony for Liu Ming, and Liu Ming was flattered by this.
However, when handing over the work, he discovered that the business at the Headquarters was very different from that of the County Branch Company; this side only dealt in second-hand houses, not new commercial housing, and Liu Ming's heart sank.
The second-hand house business was much more difficult than new commercial housing.
Moreover, the profit would not be too high, and all kinds of procedures were annoyingly troublesome.
But he still quickly threw himself into the work; his professionalism meant he would not let his emotions affect his work efficiency.
Wang Dashan saw all of this and was satisfied in his heart.
On the Other Side, after Wang Erhai took control of the Sales Department, the first thing he did was to restructure the Sales Department, making all kinds of regulations very strict and very inhumane, deducting fines and bonuses for the slightest mistake.
He was carrying out a new round of reshuffling of the Sales Department.
Anyway, there were only those housing developments in the County Town, the competition in the housing market was not great, and the requirements for salespeople's abilities were actually not that high.
That is to say, the temporary turmoil in the Sales Department would actually not have that much impact on the company.
So he had no scruples and did it as soon as he said it.
