Just as Zhang Ran and the city were discussing what kind of measures should be taken to resolve the matter, others were also in discussion.

Geng Yichang looked at Liu Guohua, his eyes filled with some worry, "Old Liu, your recent actions have been a bit too bold."

Liu Guohua is a core member of the Jiao Zhen Team, with a status similar to Geng Yichang, and is currently the Vice President of Maikai Supermarket.

Those who were able to come over with Jiao Zhen basically have very good relationships and can be considered Jiao Zhen's direct subordinates.

Geng Yichang knows what Liu Guohua is doing, and he also knows that doing this will definitely lead to trouble, but because of their personal relationship, he did not report this matter.

Just like Jiao Zhen, the fact that Liu Guohua was able to follow him here and give up his position at Shangguo Supermarket is also a kind of loyalty.

Jiao Zhen really couldn't bring himself to act, so he told Zhang Ran about this matter and let Zhang Ran handle it.

Liu Guohua did not care about Geng Yichang's words at all and said with a smile, "Yichang, what are you afraid of? I'm not worried, so you shouldn't be either."

"But have you thought about it? Once the matter explodes, what will you have the boss do? Also, it's not like you haven't seen the fate of You Jingyang and the others, you..." Geng Yichang tried to persuade him.

He really wanted to persuade Liu Guohua to give up; as long as Liu Guohua gave up, the previous matters would not be a problem at all, and they could erase them with a few minor maneuvers on their end.

And even if they didn't erase them, they could all plead for mercy to Zhang Ran together; he believed Zhang Ran wouldn't be too harsh.

But Liu Guohua said dismissively, "Yichang, stop worrying blindly, and besides, the boss doesn't know about this matter."

After finishing, Liu Guohua instead began to persuade Geng Yichang, "You guys should join in too, really, you don't know how huge the profits are in this."

Now the entire company is under our control, and those middle managers have so many tricks; with just a little manipulation, that money is like it fell from the sky.

Yichang, think about it, what is your salary now? An annual salary of four million; although it's much more than when we were at Shangguo, do you know how much I can get now?

In these six months, I've pocketed twelve million, and this is just for half a year, and many things haven't even been rolled out yet."

It must be said that their relationship is truly good, and Liu Guohua did not lie to Geng Yichang.

Geng Yichang was also stunned after hearing this; he really didn't know that Liu Guohua had earned so much. Although he knew about some situations before, to be honest, he hadn't paid much attention to them.

After all, such things are completely unavoidable, but recently, Liu Guohua had begun to reach into his jurisdiction, which is why he found Liu Guohua today to talk things out.

Geng Yichang knew that Liu Guohua was making a lot of money, but he definitely didn't expect it to be this much—twelve million, and that was only for half a year.

Geng Yichang's current annual salary is four million, which is actually quite a lot, and with some bonuses, he gets six million a year.

Geng Yichang is already very satisfied with this money; he is not the type of person who is insatiably greedy, and he also knows that his current ability is only worth that much money.

Seeing the change in Geng Yichang's expression, Liu Guohua said triumphantly, "Yichang, now the entire company is under our control; as long as we unite, aren't these things for us to decide?"

"Now the company's turnover and various cash flows are over a billion every month; this bit of money is not even worth a fart in the middle of all that."

Geng Yichang interrupted his narrative; to say he wasn't tempted would be a lie, but Geng Yichang was more rational.

He also knows what money should be taken and what money should not.

"But have you thought about it? Once the matter is known to Mr. Zhang, what will your end be like?"

"I just said that the matter of You Jingyang is still fresh in my memory, and I don't want you to spend the rest of your life in prison."

"You have also seen Mr. Zhang's methods and abilities; aren't you afraid?" Geng Yichang still wanted to persuade Liu Guohua to turn back.

Liu Guohua was silent for a moment and said, "Afraid, of course I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of being poor."

"Right now our annual salaries are five or six million, and as a Vice President, your annual salary is even higher," Geng Yichang couldn't help but say.

"Yes, my annual salary is indeed not low now, but do you know what my annual expenses are? Just for expenses alone, I need at least ten million as a baseline, and that's just for ordinary expenses," Liu Guohua said.

As he spoke, a smile couldn't help but appear on Liu Guohua's face: "And think about it, what is the situation with the company now? Mr. Zhang doesn't manage things at all; as long as we keep the books well, Mr. Zhang won't notice."

"There are also some shareholders who have actually participated in this; you can't be unaware of that, right?"

"With the support of these shareholders, even if Mr. Zhang finds out, what can he do? Do you know how many people are involved in this?"

"The number of those middle managers is larger than you can imagine; even if he finds out, he wouldn't dare do anything to us, unless he really wants Maikai Supermarket to collapse."

"And what about the current situation of Maikai? Don't you know? Maikai Supermarket is currently in an expansion phase; once there is turmoil, many of the company's efforts will go down the drain."

"I believe Mr. Zhang wouldn't want to see this either; even if he acts arbitrarily, those shareholders aren't truly without options."

"Absolute control doesn't mean one can do whatever one wants; I believe you know this better than I do."

Liu Guohua's face was slightly flushed at this moment, "And think about it, this is a company with a market value of one hundred billion, yet we, the top management, can only take annual salaries of millions or tens of millions."

"He, Zhang Ran, earns hundreds of millions in wealth every year, while we work ourselves to the bone and can only take that little bit; are you willing?"

"Now that the company has such a large scale and such a good momentum, how could it have been done without us?"

Geng Yichang looked at Liu Guohua, unable to help but sigh in his heart; he knew that Liu Guohua had been blinded by greed at this moment.

However, Geng Yichang still wanted to persuade him, "Old Liu, didn't Mr. Zhang agree to this at the very beginning? We are supposed to get more bonuses as time goes on."

"According to the agreement, in at most two or three years, our annual salaries will start at ten million; isn't that enough?"

"Not enough, far from enough. Is ten million a lot? The profits we create for the company are far more than just a few tens of millions," Liu Guohua said fiercely.

It seemed as if he was venting his inner feelings, or perhaps he was finding excuses for himself; after saying these things, Liu Guohua's expression gradually calmed down.

"It's still the same thing: as long as we unite, Zhang Ran won't be able to do anything about us, unless he doesn't want the company anymore."
