Chapter 950: 945. Arguing Based on Reason (Please Subscribe and Vote)

He Qing's situation was indeed something Zhang Ran hadn't expected, but as the saying goes, being a little proud and arrogant is nothing, as long as her true nature hasn't changed.

However, it was clear that this discussion had dealt He Qing a bit of a blow.

Although she is now very capable and has had excellent conditions for growth, coming into contact with high-end business affairs,

she is still very young and lacks experience. Coupled with the fact that she has Zhang Ran as her backing, everyone treats her with great courtesy; even if she makes some mistakes, most people pretend not to see them.

This has made He Qing a bit conceited, and she thinks too highly of herself.

Now, when comparing herself with young business elites like Sicheng and Meng Mingxuan, she feels the gap.

Don't look at how Sicheng and Siyan owe all their current achievements to Zhang Ran; in reality, they are still different from He Qing.

From the very beginning, Zhang Ran has been cultivating their ability to be independent. For the Biaoxue Company, Zhang Ran only helped with certain business matters from the start to allow them to develop smoothly.

Afterward, he didn't manage much, and everything was handled by Sicheng himself.

The same goes for Siyan; Huo Zhiyuan taught her hand-in-hand at the beginning, but later also began to slowly let go.

This is also the reason why both of them have been studying frantically; otherwise, they would never have been able to reach their current level.

When eating breakfast, Zhang Ran saw that He Qing was feeling down, and her complexion didn't look good, as if she hadn't slept all night.

"Xiao Qing, what's wrong? Why so listless?" Zhang Ran asked with a chuckle while sipping his porridge.

He Yong, on the other hand, acted as if he knew nothing and buried his head in his porridge.

There is now a whole group of people living in Zhang Ran's courtyard, and everyone was originally accustomed to exquisite breakfasts.

But after coming to Zhang Ran's place, it's like eating from a communal pot every day.

However, it must be said that it really has a unique flavor; after all, no matter what, the taste of the food at Zhang Ran's place is definitely not bad.

He Qing said with a dejected face, "Zhang Shu, I'm fine."

"What's wrong? Tell me, what is it about?" Zhang Ran asked with a smile.

But He Qing clearly didn't want to say it; after all, there were so many people around, how embarrassing.

"Zhang Shu, I'm really fine, I just couldn't sleep last night because I was thinking about things," He Qing said.

"Oh, I see. By the way, how did your discussion go last night?" Zhang Ran acted as if he knew nothing.

He Qing opened her mouth but ultimately didn't say anything.

"Alright, then you can join in today as well. I'll have someone take over your work for now," Zhang Ran said.

Before He Qing could speak, He Yong, who was on the side, shouted, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you thank your Zhang Shu?"

He Qing said gloomily, "Thank you, Zhang Shu."

She had already guessed that Zhang Ran probably knew the reason, but this was actually for her own good.

He Qing could also understand Zhang Ran's painstaking efforts.

So she said, "Thank you, Zhang Shu."

"Hmm, it's alright. You are younger than them, and they also came from your age group. Don't be discouraged," Zhang Ran still offered a word of encouragement, hoping she wouldn't be truly crushed.

He Qing feigned enthusiasm and said, "I will."

But in her heart, it was still hard to accept. She had thought she was already quite good, but now it seemed she had been too arrogant.

After finishing the meal, Zhang Ran took the group to the Huamei Headquarters. Without any extra nonsense, they continued the discussion from yesterday.

This time, Zhang Ran also listened very carefully, as some things needed to be finalized.

And those old men also brought out all their skills; this was a matter of fighting for their own interests, so who would dare to be careless?

Don't look at how these young guys are still young; they are not easy to deal with.

In fact, starting from today, the tone of the discussion had changed, or rather, both sides had confirmed their respective representatives.

Sicheng and the others represented Zhang Ran's interests, while these people from Huamei represented the interests of Huamei.

In other words, today's discussion was no longer like yesterday's, which was purely a theoretical argument.

This time, it tested everyone's ability and level even more.

"When middle management from each company receives an order from the Headquarters, they are not allowed to delay for more than two days and must report to the Headquarters," Sicheng spoke first.

"This is, firstly, to establish the authority of the Headquarters. Since we are establishing a Headquarters to integrate the resources of each company, the Headquarters must possess authority in the minds of the employees; otherwise, it would be better not to establish it at all," Sicheng's words were sharp.

At this moment, he had a bit of a sharp edge, which was somewhat different from before.

The Sicheng of the past had a bit of a "nice guy" vibe, but now, Sicheng knew he had to establish his own impression among these people.

And this opportunity was also very rare.

"Two days is not much, but President Zhang, you also have to consider the actual situation. Moreover, the Headquarters needs to notify middle management through our group; the Headquarters cannot bypass us. If that happens, there would be no need for our group's senior management to exist," the other side also argued based on reason.

Although they would subconsciously restrain themselves when facing Sicheng, after all, Zhang Ran was still watching from the side—did they really think he didn't exist?

However, what needed to be fought for still had to be fought for.

"I agree with this point, but we need to stipulate one thing: once this middle management is involved in violating company regulations, we have the right to bypass the group's senior management directly," Siyan also refused to give an inch.

"Impossible. If that happens, what prestige would our group's senior management have left?" The other side would never agree to this.

Suddenly, both sides started arguing about this topic again. Originally, everyone's mood was relatively calm in the morning, but now, one by one, they were red-faced.

"Do you think they can reach a consensus on this issue?" Zhang Ran asked Huang Lin, who was on the side, with a smile.

Neither he nor Huang Lin had participated.

Actually, Huang Lin wanted to participate, as this could also be considered representing his own interests.

But he was afraid that the person he would be arguing with would be his own son, and if he couldn't win the argument, it would be a huge embarrassment.

"I think Sicheng's proposal is a bit inappropriate. Once the Headquarters can bypass authority and give orders at will, many things will become chaotic," Huang Lin expressed his own point of view directly.

Zhang Ran said indifferently, "Didn't Sicheng and the others say it? This requires certain conditions.

And I think you should understand what Sicheng means. He doesn't want to truly bypass authority, but rather to have this right in cases where there is suspicion of shielding.

Otherwise, after going through one procedure after another, no one knows what the final result will turn into."

Huang Lin remained silent; he still didn't want the Headquarters to obtain such power.
