"I'm obviously serious. This is the Board of Directors, not a place for jokes."

Du Xiaojuan's calm tone was like an invisible knife, piercing Chen Qiang's heart.

"Heh, are you really asking me to manage the toilets?"

Chen Qiang's face was full of self-mockery.

Only now did he realize how wrong his initial decision to push for Zhonghai Group's investment had been.

This is a world where the winner takes all; the entry of this giant, Zhonghai, would devour not only Du Xiaojuan, but him, Chen Qiang, as well!

He just never expected that he would be swallowed by Zhonghai before Du Xiaojuan.

"Manager Chen, don't panic." At this moment, Fang Dayong spoke again, "You are a rare talent. Letting you manage the toilets would be overqualified."

Chen Qiang coldly snorted:

"Hmph, Manager Fang, if Zhonghai wants to kick me out, just say it directly. No need for these roundabout tactics!"

Fang Dayong still smiled:

"Manager Chen, you misunderstand me. Put it this way: among everyone present, Zhonghai trusts you the most. After all, it was you, Manager Chen, who overrode all opposition, allowing Zhonghai to invest in Xiao Du Technology."

Fang Dayong continued:

"To be honest, compared to Xiao Du Technology's market development, Zhonghai cares more about its financial condition. After all, Zhonghai Group invested real money, so Xiao Du Technology's CFO must be someone Zhonghai Group trusts."

The so-called CFO means Chief Financial Officer.

This title generally only exists in large companies or large groups.

Small and medium-sized enterprises call the person in charge of finances the Financial Director.

Chen Qiang's face turned even darker:

"Manager Fang, aren't you being too hasty? Cutting off Xiao Du Technology's two major arteries, CFO and CMO, all at once—aren't you afraid of causing a major earthquake at Xiao Du Technology?"

CMO means Chief Marketing Officer, or simply Marketing Director.

Fang Dayong hurriedly said:

"Manager Chen, you misunderstand me again. I didn't say we would have Zhonghai Group people serve as Xiao Du Technology's CFO."

"Then what do you mean? Is there someone else here you trust?"

Chen Qiang questioned him aggressively.

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly persuaded:

"Chen Qiang, don't be too excited. Wait until Manager Fang finishes speaking before we give our opinions."

Fang Dayong said at this time:

"Manager Chen, you are the person Zhonghai Group trusts!"

Chen Qiang was stunned:

"Me?"

"Yes, you." Fang Dayong nodded with a smile.

"You mean you want me to manage finances?" Chen Qiang was stunned, his face full of surprise.

"Exactly. You manage finances."

Fang Dayong gave a clear answer.

Chen Qiang had nothing to say.

He was in a position where agreeing was impossible, and refusing was impossible.

"Chen Qiang, I think it's good for you to manage finances, and I trust you too."

Du Xiaojuan also clearly stated her position, agreeing to this personnel transfer.

She also asked the executives at the meeting:

"Does everyone have any objections to this?"

Everyone looked at each other. Zhonghai Group and Du Xiaojuan, the head of Xiao Du Technology, had already reached a consensus. What objections could they have?

So they all nodded, indicating no objections.

The only one with an opinion was Zhang Yong, Xiao Du Technology's original Financial Minister.

"If Manager Chen manages finances, then what about me? What am I supposed to manage?"

Zhang Yong raised his hand and raised a question.

He knew he had almost no decision-making power.

But some things had to be clarified face-to-face at this meeting; asking afterward would definitely result in a big loss.

"Manager Zhang, Xiao Du Technology's after-sales department is short-staffed. If Manager Chen is in charge of finances, then you can manage after-sales. You wouldn't have any objections to that, would you?" Fang Dayong said with a smile.

"This..." Zhang Yong was a bit bewildered.

Even if he had objections, he didn't dare to voice them. He had to see Chen Qiang's attitude, after all, he was Chen Qiang's man.

If someone else had squeezed him out of his position, he would have immediately voiced opposition.

Now the problem was, the person who squeezed him out of his position was Chen Qiang, the master of this dog of his!

"Manager Zhang, for our e-commerce enterprise, after-sales is a very important link. Doing after-sales well is equivalent to building a good reputation. Without after-sales, no matter how big the business grows, it won't last. So I think you managing after-sales is a good choice. After all, I trust you very much."

Du Xiaojuan stated her position, and she also asked Chen Qiang:

"Chen Qiang, what do you think?"

Chen Qiang did not immediately answer Du Xiaojuan's question; he simply kept his head down, his expression heavy, and said one sentence:

"I'm not very familiar with financial affairs."

Now he was caught between a rock and a hard place, and deep down he had already realized this was an unsolvable open conspiracy!

Let him manage financial affairs he wasn't familiar with, and sooner or later he would make a mistake; at the same time, they could legitimately cut off one of his arms, and he couldn't have any complaints!

After all, financial affairs were indeed the top priority of a company; this counted as a promotion for him!

"General Manager Chen, do not underestimate yourself; we who run a company understand everything once we understand one thing. I believe that since you can do well as CMO, you can definitely do well as CFO. I'll put it plainly today: within Xiao Du Technology, apart from you, General Manager Chen, no one else can gain the absolute trust of our Zhonghai Group. If you are unwilling to take over financial power, then I can only suggest letting people from Zhonghai Group parachute in to manage financial affairs."

Under such circumstances, where did Chen Qiang have any choice?

In the end, he could only nod in agreement:

"Fine, then I'll manage financial affairs."

He looked up at Zhang Yong, his gaze somewhat guilty:

"Zhang Yong, you go manage after-sales; everything is for the sake of the overall situation."

In this power struggle among the company's upper echelons this time, Zhang Yong unexpectedly became the first to be sacrificed—something Chen Qiang never expected.

So now he felt deeply sorry for Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong had a background in financial affairs; sending him to the marginal department of after-sales absolutely wronged him.

Zhang Yong let out a long sigh:

"Fine, then I'll go manage after-sales."

Although he compromised on the surface, he had actually already made up his mind to resign.

How could a talent like him work peacefully in a marginal department?

Given the current situation at Xiao Du Technology, he wanted to return to a core department, but that was probably unrealistic; resigning and jumping ship had become his best option.

"Isn't this a win-win for everyone?"

Fang Dayong beamed with smiles:

"I believe that after this personnel adjustment, Xiao Du Technology will surely reach new heights!"

Du Xiaojuan smiled and praised:

"General Manager Fang, you truly live up to being from a major group; this personnel arrangement shows great strategic vision—I am thoroughly impressed by you!"

Fang Dayong laughed while chairing the meeting:

"You flatter me, you flatter me; I'm just contributing my modest strength. Everyone work together to make Xiao Du Technology bigger and stronger. As long as Xiao Du Technology goes public, the wealth in everyone's hands will surely skyrocket!"

Everyone had smiles on their faces and was full of fighting spirit, feeling that Xiao Du Technology would definitely go public and financial freedom was right before their eyes.

Only Chen Qiang and Zhang Yong were extremely depressed in their hearts.
