Chapter 190: The beginning of workplace struggle
Zhang Caidong said calmly: "I think you should understand one thing. Since Lord Shen Mu has arranged for Sun Zhiru to be one of our executives, we must respect Lord Shen Mu's arrangement. For the remaining two places, I hope Sun Zhiru will make the choice, and you must respect this arrangement."
At this time, Zhang Caidong directly brought up Shen Mu's name, and in fact this was also a means of winning over people for himself under the banner of Shen Mu.
After all, Shen Mu did not ask Sun Zhiru to choose two people to add to the quota.
"Okay, there's no need to say more now, let's do it this way." Seeing that all these people were unwilling but couldn't say anything, Zhang Caidong sighed and told them: "We all follow Lord Shen Mu, and we listen to Lord Shen Mu in everything. We will have to eat meat in the future, just like now."
Zhang Caidong comforted them under the pretext of something, but in fact he was using Shen Mu's name to suppress them.
This is also a small means.
"We understand." The group of people finally nodded, and without saying anything, each of them took their Swadian civilians towards their own offices.
At this time, only Sun Zhiru was left standing there awkwardly, unable to even defend himself.
At this time, Sun Zhiru also nodded to Zhang Caidong: "Thank you, Brother Zhang Caidong, I am indeed a little embarrassed here." As he spoke, Sun Zhiru also sighed and added: "Why don't you just take all these places, I don't need them here. After all, I don't know anyone here at all, and I don't know how to arrange these things as a general manager. You are more familiar with me, so I will choose to listen to you."
Sun Zhiru still expressed his modesty and humility, as well as his absolute respect for Zhang Caidong.
However, Zhang Caidong smiled at this time and said nothing more: "I know you have friends and family, so just give it to your friends. If there is anything, it is more convenient to have your own people among the senior management. After all, I know that you were a director of the board of directors before, and you should also understand that if you don’t have a few people supporting you on the board of directors, it will be difficult to do anything."
Zhang Caidong comforted Sun Zhiru for a few more words, then left and walked towards Zhang Bo.
Only Sun Zhiru was left here, frowning slightly and sighing helplessly.
Sun Zhiru actually understood this principle very well.
However, seeing Zhang Caidong being so polite and caring towards him, he felt something strange in his heart.
"I never thought that in just one day, he had figured out all my background. He knew that I used to be a director on the board, and he also knew that I have family and friends." Sun Zhiru pursed his lips but said nothing.
Just as Zhang Caidong said, he really needs two friends who support him, so that he can carry out any work he wants.
And within his small group of seven or eight people, he really needs to take the lead in developing.
Moreover, looking at the 10 expressionless Swadian civilians following behind him, he felt the amplified strength and physique in his body, as well as the combat experience that emerged in his mind.
Still clenching his fists, he smiled: "Sure enough, it was the right thing to hand over that special holy weapon to Lord Shen Mu. Now I am not only a senior executive, but I can also cultivate my own power."
Whether he cultivates his own power or not actually doesn’t matter that much. After all, the people he needs to support now are still his friends from that time.
These families had known each other before the disaster and had been supporting each other until now without any foul play. Instead, they were still supporting each other. It could be said that they knew each other well and trusted each other quite a lot.
With such a good opportunity, of course we have to consider them first.
So Sun Zhiru didn't think much about it and turned around and walked towards a town residence on the edge.
After all, he had become a senior manager and belonged to Dehrim's management, so he also had his own separate town house, and he also brought his friends and family in.
And when he returned at this time, he immediately caused exclamations.
"My Zhiru, what happened to you? Why do all the equipment on you look the same as the creations from the spirit world? They don't just look the same, they are clearly creations from the spirit world."
"Wait wait, wait, you didn't get any extra gifts from Lord Shen Mu, right? Look at the clothes you're wearing, and the weapons in your hands are all from the spirit world!"
"Could it be that you have obtained the inheritance of the spirit world and become a spirit world commander under Lord Shen Mu?"
As soon as he entered the room, his four good brothers looked at him with wide eyes.
Including the four wives and four or five children who came out from the side, they all exclaimed in surprise.
Because when Sun Zhiru left, he was just like an ordinary Blue Star human, wearing modern clothes. But when he came back, he was obviously wearing the robes of ancient people, holding a long-handled sickle in his hand, carrying an old wooden shield, and dressed like a human from the spiritual world. How could we not guess that he had received some special gifts?
"Yes, Lord Shen Mu was very generous this time, allowing me to obtain the inheritance of the human race in the spiritual world." Sun Zhiru had a smile on his face and did not hide anything. He told them clearly what happened in the conference room.
At the same time, he clapped his hands and asked the 10 Swadian civilians who came back with him to come in.
They all wore linen robes and held wooden sticks or sickles. Although they looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, they had determined eyes.
It's really frightening.
"He really became the commander of the spirit world, and was also rewarded with ten followers from the spirit world. Lord Shen Mu is really too generous."
"Sure enough, the decisions we made at that time were all correct. This Lord Shen Mu is indeed not a stingy person, and he is not the same as the unruly regular employees of the Diesel Company."
"In fact, the Diesel Company was already stratified at that time. It would be useless for us to join them. It would be better for us to join the new forces directly, and then we would have the opportunity to move up, just like now."
The four middle-aged men from Blue Star in the room looked at each other and smiled.
This is exactly what they thought at the time.
They joined Shen Mu, this new human force, and indeed got a perfect speculative opportunity. Especially with the special statue emitting white light that they found at that time, they really reached the position which can be said to be the peak of their lives.
Moreover, they had already listened to Sun Zhiru's words and asked them to choose two more people from the four of them to follow him to Lord Shen Mu's noble mansion tomorrow to become the commanders of the spirit world, and also to obtain the loyalty of 4 people in the spirit world and become their followers. This was simply the subsequent opportunity they had obtained after the online protection, so how could they not seize it quickly?
But even when they were happy, a middle-aged man, who was usually the most thoughtful among them, couldn't help but frown and said, "Brothers, shouldn't we take a long-term view on this matter? After all, the interests involved in this matter seem to be a bit too big."
This sentence immediately made everyone in the room silent. The happy smiles on their faces suddenly occurred to them, and they all closed their mouths and their faces gradually calmed down.
Just as what the middle-aged man said, the interests involved here seem to be really too huge.
They all run their own companies and are group CEOs. After thinking about it, they all realized that something was wrong.
After all, just think about it and you will understand that being able to become the commander of the spirit world is thanks to the gift from Lord Shen Mu, and having spirit world followers or spirit world human soldiers, these spirit world creatures that are basically no different from their Blue Star humans.
Why should we give up two places for no reason to Sun Zhiru, who has just joined the management of Dehrim?
Sun Zhiru is equivalent to a newcomer.
According to their previous experience of working in a group or company, it means that a leader who is parachuted in directly has no foundation at all, which is equivalent to a blank leader.
If these people below could unite, they could even directly sideline Sun Zhiru.
And you have to know that Zhang Caidong and the other 15 senior managers who have a very good relationship with him have all worked together under Lord Shen Mu, and only then did they get their current status and identity.
That's why they are quite united.
But now Sun Zhiru, who was parachuted in, has obtained power, identity and status second only to Zhang Caidong.
Now when they analyze it, they feel pleasantly surprised, but also a little shocked in their hearts. After all, this kind of status is not something they can easily achieve, not to mention that they think they have only given an ordinary holy object.
"Could it be that Lord Shen Mu wants to break up the relationship and power between Zhang Caidong and the 15 senior managers, and then support us to form a new competing group?" Another middle-aged man spoke slowly.
They all have very clear experience of workplace struggles.
So when he explained this situation, they all fell silent, then raised their heads and looked at each other.
They also saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
This is what happened next, but they couldn't say much. After all, they all knew that even if they didn't want to compete, there was nothing they could do. After all, Shen Mu had already supported Sun Zhiru to the position second only to Zhang Caidong. He also gave him two places, obviously wanting to help him up.
It's completely too late to retreat now.
Besides, they had no way to retreat, and they were reluctant to give up Houcun's status, which was second only to Zhang Caidong. They could all become commanders of the spirit world, have followers in the spirit world, and have human soldiers in the spirit world loyal to them. They were reluctant to give up the opportunity to climb up and quickly complete the class leap.
"When a man dies, the birds fly up to the sky. Let's do it! Isn't it just an opportunity to fight in a competition? Isn't it just to become a knife in someone else's hand? What's wrong with us becoming this knife?"
Another middle-aged man with a reckless personality spoke in a deep voice at this time, and waved his hand fiercely in front of him, clenched his fist and said loudly: "This is a good opportunity, we can't give up easily, we brothers slowly unite and develop steadily, will we definitely lose to Zhang Caidong and his men? Moreover, since Lord Shen Mu wants to divide them, then they will definitely split again internally. When the time comes, it will be convenient for Lord Shen Mu to control them if they split into small groups, and we will also be heroes by then."
They have all been through workplace struggles, and they are all smart people. As long as they return to the field of workplace struggles, they believe that they will definitely not be weaker than others.
"Yeah, I knew that was the case, so I agreed." Sun Zhiru nodded gently with a smile on his face.
They all understood that a force that was too powerful could easily undermine the top leadership.
Even if it is not fictional, as long as a few words are concealed at the critical moment, the top leaders can be turned into a deaf-mute vegetative state, unable to hear, see, or speak.
Therefore, fresh blood needs to be injected into it so that the top level can know what is happening below, or in other words, to maintain the smooth flow of information.
They all understand this.
So they started based on this point and thought about it very seriously.
After all, if they develop, they will definitely squeeze the living space of others, and also squeeze the rights and interests of others. So they should discuss how to cleverly avoid this method and still allow them to become the core management at the same time.
Then they will attract a group of people of their own.
But while they were thinking about it, Zhang Caidong had already brought the 10 Swadian recruits to the door of another town residence.
"Just wait for me here. If anything happens, I will come down myself." Zhang Caidong instructed the 10 Swadian recruits behind him, and then asked them to guard the door.
"Understood." The 10 Swadian recruits also fought very hard. They lined up at the entrance of the town residence and stood there as if on guard.
This made Zhang Caidong more and more satisfied.
These are his followers in the spiritual world, these are his soldiers in the spiritual world. Before, those jackals carried out his orders reluctantly and lazily. Even if they were asked to wait here, they didn't know how to stand or sit. They either squatted or leaned against the wall, which made people feel annoying.
Now these people in the spiritual world are really not much different from the humans on the blue planet.
It makes people feel relaxed just by looking at it.
"What's up? Brother Caidong, you look very happy?" Zhang Bo happened to open the door and saw Zhang Caidong coming in. Seeing the smile on his face, he also smiled: "And the clothes you are wearing and the weapons in your hands are really extraordinary."
"Lord Shen Mu was quite generous in rewarding me. They were all creatures from the spiritual world." Zhang Caidong explained the reason with a smile.
