Chapter 884: 880. Carrots and Sticks (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Very quickly, Sun Lin, Wang Jiajia, and the group of head nurses all arrived; on the way, they were also quickly discussing why Zhang Ran had called for them.

In truth, they all had a bit of an idea in their hearts, but the more this was the case, the more uneasy their hearts became.

However, there were also some among them who were very calm, such as Wang Jiajia, and also the head nurse.

The head nurse was extremely calm because she did things very properly and had never done anything to wrong the company.

As for Wang Jiajia, although she had done a little something, it was merely helping some friends go through some processes for relatively large discounts.

Although this was a bit against the rules, it was just that.

This was mainly because Wang Jiajia was a person who cared about face; if she didn't care about face, she wouldn't have borrowed Liu Lu's necklace back then just to show off.

When some friends asked her to handle things, for the sake of face, she would agree to it in one breath.

At most, it was just some discounts that didn't quite follow the rules; even if this were taken seriously, it would at most result in a fine.

As for Sun Lin, her heart was drumming very loudly.

What she had done was relatively excessive; the first point was privately selling some of the company's client data, which was actually very serious.

The second was also using some of the company's resources for her own benefit.

Therefore, she was now very panicked in her heart.

However, what needed to be faced still had to be faced; very soon they arrived at the entrance of the conference room, tidied up their moods slightly, took a deep breath, and walked in.

"Mr. Zhang." Everyone greeted him one after another.

Zhang Ran did not have a stern face as they had imagined; instead, he said with a smile, "You're all here, sit down. I won't stand on ceremony with you; you are all Xiao Lu's friends, don't be formal."

Seeing Zhang Ran like this, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed that Zhang Ran's visit this time was not as they had imagined.

However, very quickly, Zhang Ran's words made their expressions change drastically; they heard Zhang Ran say, "I have heard that many problems have appeared in the company recently; some people are selling company client data, some are earning price differences on company goods, and some are even taking the company's products out to sell."

With every sentence Zhang Ran spoke, the expressions of some people turned a shade paler.

These things were all things they had done, and basically, they were all people from among them, because Liu Lu trusted them the most.

After the company grew, these people had all been promoted one by one.

Seeing their expressions, Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, I am not here to hold you accountable today."

Zhang Ran's words did not make them relax, especially Sun Lin and the others.

Zhang Ran shook his head and said, "These matters can be called big, and they can be called small; actually, in my view, these matters are still quite big.

This is not a question of how much money is involved, but a question of attitude and the future."

"One can see many things just from one's attitude, not to mention that if you get used to being like this, in the future you will certainly become more and more unscrupulous; by then, it's possible you might really replace the company's good products with inferior ones."

"Mr. Zhang, this is something we would absolutely never dare to do; please believe me." Sun Lin was the first to speak.

Once these words were out, it meant she had admitted to everything Zhang Ran had said before.

In fact, Sun Lin was also very clear that it didn't matter if she didn't admit it; even if Zhang Ran had no evidence, he didn't need any evidence to fire them.

Zhang Ran said calmly, "Think back carefully to your state of mind the first time you did such a thing, and then look at what point you have reached now.

Compared to the first time, how big is the gap?"

Sun Lin thought back slightly, and her heart was suddenly struck with a cold sweat; did it really seem to be like that?

At the very beginning, it was only because something had happened at home, and coupled with their house loans, there were many places where money was needed.

All the money saved over so many years had been used to buy a house, and after buying the house, they couldn't save any more money.

So, under the temptation of certain people, she quietly sold some of the company's client data to others.

Afterward, she had been terrified and regretful for a period of time, but as time passed, she discovered that no one knew at all.

For some reason, her courage slowly grew; it seemed these things had changed imperceptibly.

Seeing her appearance, Zhang Ran knew that this person was still salvageable, so his attitude softened slightly.

"Actually, you all know that the reason I opened this hospital for Liu Lu was just to give her something to do, so she wouldn't be bored every day.

If it's done well, then it will continue; if it's not done well, it doesn't matter if it goes bankrupt."

"And Liu Lu values the feelings between you very much. Let's put it this way: Xiao Lu knows about the things you have done, but she doesn't know how to talk to you about them," Zhang Ran said slowly.

As these words of his fell, the expressions of Sun Lin and some others became somewhat pale and ashamed.

Just as Zhang Ran said, it wouldn't matter if Liu Lu's hospital went bankrupt, but they couldn't afford it; once they lost the hospital, then...

Looking at them, Zhang Ran continued, "Before I came, Liu Lu even told me not to blame you too much.

Actually, I don't care either; this bit of money really means nothing to me. I'm just afraid that in the end, you will really become more and more greedy, and eventually harm others and yourselves."

"Of course, since Liu Lu has pleaded for you, I won't do anything excessive, and I will even give you some benefits.

I will make an agreement with you: within five years, if you achieve certain results within five years and no similar incidents happen again, then I promise to give you some share rewards.

Of course, the form in which these share rewards will be given to you will depend on your own efforts."

"If it goes well, by then you can pay to purchase shares, and these shares will be yours from then on.

If it's just average, then it will only be dividend rewards from the company's shares; there will be nothing else. If I want to take them back, it's just a matter of a single sentence, and once you leave the company, they will be taken back accordingly."

Zhang Ran did not beat around the bush with them, and they were not qualified to make Zhang Ran do so, so everything was very direct.

This was also a method Zhang Ran had come up with; this could bind them together, and at the same time, it could make them supervise each other, so there would be no need for Liu Lu to play the bad guy.

By then, there would naturally be someone to play the bad guy.

Finally, Zhang Ran said in a somewhat cold tone, "The last point, which is the absolute bottom line, is that you must never be blinded by greed and bring inferior products into the hospital. This is absolutely not allowed to happen. Once I find out, then no matter what, I will make that person pay the price they deserve; no one's pleading will work."

These words from Zhang Ran made the moods of Sun Lin and the others feel like a roller coaster—first excited, happy, and incredulous, and immediately after, nervous and afraid.
