Chapter 755: 750. The Inspection Department (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Ran said nothing more upon hearing this, nor did his face show any expression; in any case, Geng Yichang could not discern a thing.

However, Geng Yichang did not completely set his mind at ease, and his heart remained in his throat.

After listening to what Jiao Zhen had to say, Zhang Ran calmly asked Gu Fei, "General Manager Gu, what are your thoughts?"

Gu Fei had felt a bit angry when he heard Jiao Zhen's words, and upon hearing Zhang Ran's question, he was just about to retort, but then he seemed to realize something.

Gu Fei was a very clever person, and he knew how to endure; therefore, he considered many things in many matters.

This time, he had seized the opportunity to move completely from the periphery to the center.

Moreover, on the surface, it seemed as though Zhang Ran had lost confidence in Jiao Zhen, which was also what Geng Yichang and the others were worried about.

But in reality, Gu Fei actually knew that Zhang Ran was not truly disappointed in Jiao Zhen.

Then what was the purpose of Jiao Zhen saying that?

Gu Fei looked at Jiao Zhen, then looked at Zhang Ran, sighed slightly in his heart, and said, "I have no objections."

As soon as these words were spoken, Geng Yichang and the others were dumbfounded; what kind of situation was this?

Was Gu Fei really this spineless?

With power handed right to him, he wouldn't even try to fight for it?

Seeing the expressions of Geng Yichang and the others, Gu Fei sneered in his heart; these guys didn't know a damn thing.

This was clearly a tacit understanding between Zhang Ran and Jiao Zhen; Zhang Ran also did not feel at ease handing these two departments over to him, Gu Fei, to manage.

But since Gu Fei was someone he had promoted himself, it would not be good for him to say it, as it would be unfavorable for Gu Fei to establish a firm footing within the company.

After all, now that Gu Fei wanted to quickly establish a firm footing, his main reliance was Zhang Ran; only in this way would he quickly secure his position.

Another point was that from today on, Jiao Zhen and Gu Fei would form two opposing factions; they could maintain consistency on major issues, but in other matters, the two sides would form a competitive relationship.

This was something every large company had, and Maikai Supermarket was like this precisely because a batch of senior management had been cleared out previously.

Although Zhang Ran did not like this, it could not be denied that the effect of this seemed to be much better than what he had before.

Zhang Ran said nothing more upon hearing this; this Gu Fei was still quite sensible. "Fine, since that's the case, Brother Jiao, who do you think this department should be given to?"

Jiao Zhen shook his head and said, "It is still better for you to make the decision, Mr. Zhang."

This was an opportunity to build up Zhang Ran's authority again, or rather, an opportunity to win people's hearts, and also to put Zhang Ran at ease.

Zhang Ran smiled and did not stand on ceremony with Jiao Zhen, saying directly, "Then let General Manager Geng manage the Operations Department from now on."

Geng Yichang was stunned; he had not expected this pie to fall onto his head. Before this, he felt that being safe and sound was the best he could hope for.

Now, a super-sized pie had actually fallen onto his head, leaving him feeling a bit dizzy for a moment.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, I will definitely manage the Operations Department well," Geng Yichang said excitedly; no matter how dizzy he was, he knew what kind of attitude he should show at this moment.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "I still trust in your abilities, General Manager Geng."

After offering a few words of encouragement, Zhang Ran continued, "I will have someone specifically manage the Finance Department. From today on, the Finance Department will not have a direct relationship with other departments.

As long as all financial audits comply with regulations, they can be approved, but after this, I will have someone re-audit the finances every year."

The Finance Department had originally been managed by people Zhang Ran appointed, but the rate of corruption was too fast, and at the time, he had not completely separated the Finance Department, allowing Liu Guohua to exploit the loophole.

Regarding this, no one had any objections; this was as it should be.

Right now, those people from the Finance Department outside were still wailing; they had vaguely heard the commotion.

There was no help for it; this time, the Finance Department could be considered almost completely wiped out, with only a few left, and they were all small fry.

"The Personnel Department will remain unchanged," Zhang Ran said.

Although the Personnel Department also had many problems, Zhang Ran believed that after this time, absolutely no one would dare to slack off.

"The Market Department will temporarily be..."

Zhang Ran began to reorganize the company's functional departments; these were also issues he had been pondering during this time.

After this time, it could basically be completely finalized.

Although Gu Fei only had the Procurement Department, this Procurement Department was a department of utmost importance, and the power of the Procurement Department was actually not small.

Furthermore, Zhang Ran gave the Loss Prevention Department to Gu Fei; putting this together with the Procurement Department was also a very significant power.

Gu Fei did not know what to think at this moment; he had initially thought that Zhang Ran did not trust him at all and was just using him as a tool.

But now it seemed that was not the case.

With both the Procurement Department and the Loss Prevention Department handed to him, he could actually pull strings in many matters.

If he didn't trust him at all, how could Zhang Ran hand both of these departments to him?

Moreover, with the Loss Prevention Department, the Jiao Zhen Team's ability to keep him in check would be much reduced.

For a moment, Gu Fei did not know what Zhang Ran's thoughts really were.

Zhang Ran did not concern himself with Gu Fei's thoughts; his own thinking was still very simple, still upholding the principle of "don't suspect the person you use, and don't use the person you suspect."

He had only added some other things to this principle.

Also, although it seemed Gu Fei had many opportunities to pull strings, in reality, it was not as convenient as it had been for Liu Guohua.

Of course, Zhang Ran had one final move: "Finally, Maikai Supermarket will establish a new department: the Inspection Department!"

After Zhang Ran finished speaking, he looked around and, finding no one speaking, continued, "The Inspection Department will report directly to me. Of course, they have no authority to directly interfere with the company's operations."

Zhang Ran had actually wanted to hand this department to Jiao Zhen at first, but it had been refused by Jiao Zhen.

Moreover, this Inspection Department was not only in Maikai Supermarket; from now on, all companies under Zhang Ran, including Fengli Group, would have this department.

It was just that because of the different companies, the authority of this department also differed.

However, in a place like Maikai Supermarket, there was a lot that could be inspected.

Zhang Ran also placed a restriction on the Inspection Department, which was that it had no authority to directly interfere with the company's operations.

Even if they discovered problems, they could only report them to him.

Of course, the company also had no authority to restrict the work of the Inspection Department; this could also be considered a two-way balance.

And the head of this Inspection Department would be temporarily filled by He Yong.

"Brother Zhang, I... I can't do it." Upon hearing this appointment, He Yong immediately shook his head; he was not at all willing to be the Minister of the Inspection Department.

"Take it since I'm giving it to you; just treat it as collecting a free salary. Besides, you're getting on in years, and if you still want to shine and contribute later on, this is a good place to be," Zhang Ran said, waving his hand.

Once these words were spoken, He Yong said nothing more, as he now understood Zhang Ran's intentions.
