Chapter 102: 101. Establishing Authority (Seeking collections, seeking recommendation votes!)

Although the people at Biaoxue Company subconsciously followed along with the applause, they actually had not yet recovered from the shock, staring blankly at Zhang Sicheng one by one.

Being watched by everyone, Zhang Sicheng, who was already somewhat uncomfortable, felt even more awkward now, yet an inexplicable sense of excitement rose uncontrollably in his heart.

There was nothing much to say about the welcome ceremony; once Zhang Sicheng and the others walked into the office, these people finally recovered slightly, and then began discussing it in hushed tones.

And Wu Ying undoubtedly became their main target for questioning, as well as their object of envy.

Although Wu Ying had only been at the company for a little over half a year, everyone had seen his relationship with Zhang Sicheng.

Now that Zhang Sicheng had suddenly become the boss, Wu Ying would definitely be promoted; who wouldn't envy that?

Many people were now beginning to regret not having established a good relationship with Zhang Sicheng.

As for Zhao Yu, there was no one left around him at this moment, and the gazes some people cast toward him were filled with pity.

They all knew about the relationship between Zhao Yu and Zhang Sicheng; now that Zhang Sicheng had made it big and even become their boss, Zhao Yu's days were certainly not going to be easy.

Especially since Zhao Yu had just offended the new company he had already negotiated with; even if he wanted to go there now, they probably wouldn't want him anymore.

It could be said that besides staying at Biaoxue, Zhao Yu basically had nowhere else to go.

And if he stayed at Biaoxue, Zhang Sicheng probably wouldn't make it easy for him either.

Inside the office.

Zhang Sicheng was pressed into the boss's chair by Zhang Ran; Wang Tao's things had already been completely moved to another room.

"General Manager Zhang, this is the current list of company personnel, as well as the status of each position. Please take a look." Wang Tao's ability to regulate his emotions was still very strong; he had already begun to get into the state of things.

Zhang Sicheng subconsciously looked at Zhang Ran and, finding that Zhang Ran was strolling around the office at will, took the list and looked it over briefly.

He understood the company's situation very well and had considered it carefully over the past few days, though he didn't know if his considerations were comprehensive.

"Manager... Manager Wang, what do you think about the current situation?" Zhang Sicheng asked after taking a deep breath.

His mindset in facing Wang Tao had not yet been fully adjusted; after all, Wang Tao had been his boss for so many years, and although their positions were now swapped, it was quite difficult to change that in an instant.

Wang Tao said: "For the current vacancies in the company's management, we can ask a headhunter for help, but for positions like team leaders, we can choose to promote from within the company; this is conducive to the internal harmony of the company."

After finishing, Wang Tao looked at Zhang Ran and, seeing that Zhang Ran had no objections, continued: "This requires you, General Manager Zhang, to make the final decision yourself."

This was to establish prestige for Zhang Sicheng.

The two main ways to establish prestige are through punishment and by providing benefits.

Many employees had not yet fully recovered from the shock, so Wang Tao wanted to use such methods to let Zhang Sicheng establish authority within the company.

Zhang Ran watched Wang Tao and Zhang Sicheng discussing internal company issues, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

He found that his decision to keep Wang Tao on was a very correct one; otherwise, Zhang Sicheng would probably still be completely clueless right now.

By noon, Zhang Ran took He Yong and Meng Mingxuan and left the company first; the subsequent matters could be handled by Zhang Sicheng himself.

Zhang Ran had more or less finished the things he had prepared for this period; next, he could take a good rest for a while and enjoy the family happiness that belonged to him.

One must know that since Zhang Ran returned, it could be said that he hadn't had a single day of true rest.

In the early stages, he needed to establish preliminary trust and affection with his son, daughter, and daughter-in-law, and Zhang Ran also needed to worry about their futures.

However, after such a long time, Zhang Ran had done what he could at this stage; next, he only needed to wait.

Only when the time was ripe would he make his next move.

Biaoxue Company.

Wu Ying walked into Zhang Sicheng's office with a mix of surprise and trepidation.

"Master... no, General Manager Zhang." Wu Ying first called out subconsciously, then immediately corrected himself.

Seeing Wu Ying's nervous appearance, Zhang Sicheng smiled and said: "Alright, just call me Master when it's just the two of us."

Seeing that Zhang Sicheng was still the same as before, Wu Ying immediately felt much more relaxed in his heart.

"Master, you're actually a second-generation rich kid; I really couldn't tell at all before. You hid it from us so well," Wu Ying said immediately.

Zhang Sicheng gave a bitter smile: "If I told you I only just found out myself, would you believe me?"

"Huh?" Wu Ying didn't quite understand.

However, Zhang Sicheng didn't want to explain further, only saying to him: "I have a game design plan here; do you have the confidence to lead a team to complete it?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Ying's face immediately flushed; he could hear that Zhang Sicheng was going to promote him.

"Master, I've only been in the company for half a year; wouldn't that... be a bit unconvincing to others?" Although surprised, Wu Ying wasn't brainless.

Zhang Sicheng waved his hand and said: "You don't need to worry about that; you just need to tell me whether you have the confidence or not."

Zhang Sicheng had discussed this with Wang Tao all morning, and this was the decision they had made.

The reason for choosing Wu Ying was that Wu Ying had the best relationship with Zhang Sicheng; this was also to show everyone that Zhang Sicheng was the one in charge of the company now, which served as a preliminary way to establish his authority.

As for the matter of Zhao Yu, Zhang Sicheng considered it repeatedly but did not make up his mind to fire him.

It wasn't that he was broad-minded, but that after careful consideration, if he fired Zhao Yu at this time, he would leave everyone with the impression that he was narrow-minded.

Although Zhang Sicheng had absolute reasons to do so, others wouldn't care about what exactly happened; they would only know that Zhang Sicheng had fired a former colleague at the first opportunity, which would make them feel uneasy, especially those who had not gotten along well with Zhang Sicheng in the past, or those who had had arguments with him.

As for other positions within the company, they would need to find other people or promote from within, but that would still take some time.

"Yes, I have confidence." Wu Ying knew this was his chance, and since Zhang Sicheng had said so, he couldn't back down.

"Good, this is the game design plan. Take it and study it; starting tomorrow, organize everyone to begin work," Zhang Sicheng said.

After Wu Ying went out, Zhang Sicheng spent the rest of the afternoon talking to people, the main purpose being to stabilize morale.

He also kept in mind the key points Zhang Ran had imparted to him in the car, first bragging, then starting to widely publicize the relationship between Meng Mingxuan and their two families.

Even more, he "accidentally" brought Meng He into it, saying that Meng He thought very highly of their company and would definitely give them strong support when the time came.

This gave everyone in the company some confidence, and coupled with the fact that Zhang Sicheng had produced a game design plan right away, it proved that they weren't investing blindly, but truly had the capital and the confidence.
