But when Zhang Bo said this, Zhang Caidong's face was slightly stunned. He looked at Zhang Bo in surprise. He asked with some confusion: "Brother Bo, do you mean that you also gave some help to those middle-level managers when they were collecting the lists?" This made him quite puzzled.
After all, he knew Zhang Bo's character very well before. He was not keen on politics and did not care about Lord Shen Mu's attempts to win him over. Even when he wanted to submit Zhang Bo to become the commander of the Spirit Realm of this new human territory, Zhang Bo declined.
Now he was told that Zhang Bo had secretly fanned the flames and that those middle-level managers had collected the names. This was really hard for him to believe.
"That's true. I arranged for those middle-level managers to be able to squeeze onto the lists easily." Zhang Bo was sitting on a chair and told Zhang Caidong the truth. "And it was my suggestion that those middle-level managers submitted their lists and wanted to gain favor with Shen Mu. After all, some of them asked me. Then I spread the news and gave them this suggestion, so that they could be the first to become the commander of the spirit world."
"Brother Bo, I don't quite understand. To be honest, I really don't understand why you do this." Zhang Caidong frowned at this time, but he didn't log in. Instead, he thought about it seriously, but couldn't figure it out. Then he looked up at Zhang Bo and asked, "Brother Bo, if you want to harm me, you wouldn't tell me the truth, so I think you must have a reason."
After all, this is the truth. Zhang Bo left a very deep impression on him before and saved his life many times. Now he suddenly told him that he had an ignoble side, which was a betrayal to him to a certain extent.
Even Zhang Caidong himself didn't believe that this betrayal was true.
After all, Zhang Caidong's trust in Zhang Bo is extremely high, and it can even be said that they are close friends for life, at least that's how he thinks.
In his opinion, Zhang Bo had no reason to betray him.
Of course, Zhang Caidong had no idea about Zhang Bo’s background, nor did he know what a true performer was. He would definitely take action at the critical moment, and this is also a standard quality of a politician.
"Of course I definitely don't mean to harm you." Zhang Bo shrugged his shoulders at this time, looking at Zhang Caidong who was puzzled, and said: "In fact, I think you should understand that the current situation is a bit embarrassing for you, especially with your current status, the power is a bit too concentrated."
"That's true." Zhang Caidong pursed his lips. He understood what Zhang Bo meant by saying this. After all, he also understood it, because all the power he had in Dehrim was basically the highest among all humans on Blue Star.
It can even be said that his influence among the humans of Blue Star is greater, more powerful, and more authoritative than that of the human lord Shen Mu.
It was even because Shen Mu did not care about the development of those Blue Star humans. He only asked him to lead those Blue Star humans, and let them provide the food shares and the list of spiritual world commanders themselves. It can be said that the power was basically delegated to these Blue Star humans for self-governance.
The premise of this autonomy is from senior managers headed by Zhang Caidong to middle-level managers, and then to the lowest level managers.
They completed it all by themselves.
As the highest-ranking human on Blue Star, Zhang Caidong certainly understands the extent of his power.
When Zhang Bo said this, he also said thoughtfully: "Brother Bo, what you mean is that my power is too great, and I have to give some of my power to those middle-level managers to avoid unnecessary trouble, right?"
"Yes, that's what I wanted to say." Zhang Bo nodded and looked at Zhang Caidong, who was obviously thoughtful, with an expression of approval on his face. However, he didn't think so in his heart, because he was now trying to sow discord between Zhang Caidong and Shen Mu.
So Zhang Bo continued, "Think about it. You have so much power. The senior managers have a very good relationship with you. The middle managers are on the same page with you. In addition, the lower managers obey you completely. It can be said that the entire Blue Star human race of Dehrim is one with you. Who can tolerate this?"
What he said now was the truth, and it was also realistic, which Zhang Caidong also understood. However, thinking of Shen Mu's expectations of him and the rights he had given him, Zhang Caidong couldn't help but explain: "Maybe it's because I'm too busy, so I want to find someone to share my pressure." However, Zhang Xiaodong's words became much smaller when he spoke, after all, he also knew that such convenience seemed very weak, just a self-perfect excuse that was almost self-deception.
"And before, why did Sun Zhiru become the second in command after you? Haven't you ever thought about this?" But Zhang Bo ignored what he said. Instead, he analyzed it seriously again: "You also understand that Sun Zhiru is a new small force independent of you and your previous small circle, and he is directly supported to be the second in command after you. In the future, he can also grow up by your side to form a small circle that can compete with you. This is some precaution against you. After all, if your power is too great, it will be easy to sideline Shen Mu. You should also understand that it is quite uncomfortable to be sidelined."
"Even though I said that, I still believe in Lord Shen Mu, and I still respect him very much." Zhang Caidong said this in a weaker tone, of course he still looked a little helpless. But he also understood that what Zhang Bo said was the truth, and it was all very real truth.
"Of course I didn't say that the adult was bad. Besides, it's because he was so good to you. So you should understand that sometimes you can't use personal feelings to measure the relationship between you and the superior. This is why I have always kept myself alone and tried not to get involved in politics." Zhang Bo also spoke at this time.
He also gave an example of himself.
"That's true, Brother Bo, I still have a high opinion of you, and I think you are a very wise person." Zhang Caidong nodded. Zhang Bo has indeed always shown his aversion to politics and has little contact with it. He has always wanted to concentrate on studying his own spells and magic structures.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Caidong was so confident in Zhang Bo. After all, a person who only wanted to do academic work had such a good relationship with him and had a bright future. Why shouldn't he get in touch with him? Seeing how convinced Zhang Caidong was, Zhang Bo smiled slightly, looking a little proud. However, only he understood that this was a mocking smile to a fool.
But he didn't show any of it at all. Instead, he analyzed to Zhang Caidong with a considerate look: "That's why I encouraged those middle-level managers to take the initiative to find Shen Mu to give them the list, so that they can play a greater role. In this way, your power can be gradually diluted, and there will be some psychological barriers between you and the senior management."
As he spoke, Zhang Bo added: "To be precise, it should be to share the power of you senior managers, so that these middle-level managers can be closer to Shen Mu's power circle and have a greater say."
After saying this, Zhang Caidong seemed to be thinking: "In this way, after the power of us senior managers is shared, it will effectively alleviate Lord Shen Mu's suspicion of me."
"Yes, that's right." Zhang Bo nodded. At the same time, seeing that he had indeed led the topic to the suspicion between Zhang Caidong and Shen Mu, he became a little excited in his heart. His differentiation was obviously successful.
What he wants is to make the relationship between the two people become more and more acute due to suspicion, or even to the point where both sides distrust each other, thus causing some conflicts.
In fact, what he had to do was to replicate the suspicion he had towards the general manager of the diesel company, other ministers, and the policy managers under them when he was at the diesel company.
It was precisely because of the suspicion between the two sides that the diesel company looked quite powerful, but in fact there were quite a lot of barriers inside. In the end, when the general manager was besieged, not many people came to rescue him.
It can even be said that the reason why Shen Mu destroyed the Diesel Company so easily was largely because of Zhang Bo's instigation. It can also be said that it was because Zhang Bo fanned the flames in the Diesel Company at that time that the general manager and other people became alienated, and the relationship between the two sides became irreconcilable and rigid, and Shen Mu eventually took the blame.
If it weren't for the stalemate in the Diesel Company, it would not be easy for Shen Mu to launch a successful sneak attack. After all, once they reacted and everyone concentrated their strength and started attacking Shen Mu's troops, with the advantage in numbers, they would soon be able to completely overwhelm Shen Mu's troops.
By then, General Manager Xue Zhigang would not be able to solve the problem, but he would be surrounded. Then his retreat would be cut off, and the whole army would be wiped out.
Therefore, Zhang Bo has always believed that the demise of Diesel Company was actually caused by his own reasons. If it were not for himself, it would be very difficult for Shen Mu, the new human lord, to destroy Diesel Company.
It can be said that Shen Mu picked Zhang Bo's peach. Just thinking about it made Zhang Bo feel very annoyed. After all, he prepared this peach for the Green Leaf Group.
As a result, Green Leaf Group didn't get the profit, but Shen Mu got it instead. He was very angry now, so based on this successful experience, he began to continue to add fuel to the fire in Dehrim, dividing the relationship between these people like the Diesel Company, and messing up this new human force.
"And you know what?" Zhang Bo said to Zhang Caidong at this time: "In fact, many people think that you and I are one. I helped those middle-level managers to submit the list, and then gave them the opportunity to become spiritual world commanders. They will be very grateful to me, but their feelings for me are also equivalent to gratitude to you. And later I will also tell them that this is what you agreed to."
"In this case, although those middle-level managers are out of the control of the senior managers, they have more power and some of them have the final say. But in fact, based on this relationship, they will be very grateful to you. In this case, your power is not actually reduced a lot, but more concentrated in your hands. It's just that the circle of senior managers has divided up the power for this reason, and it seems a little worse than before. So you won't blame me, right?"
"Brother Bo, you and I are one. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago. You have also helped me a lot, and we are both from the same Zhang family. I can't thank you enough now, so how could I have any opinions about what you do." Zhang Caidong was quite moved after listening to Zhang Bo's explanation.
Just by thinking about it this way, he could understand that Zhang Bo was doing this entirely for himself.
Moreover, judging from the purpose of Zhang Bo's actions, only Zhang Caidong benefited from it. Other senior managers directly shared a lot of power, and at that time, the middle-level managers instead sidelined the senior managers.
As for whether the senior managers would be disgusted by this, Zhang Caidong didn't care at all. After all, the senior managers also understood that they had too much power. And why Sun Zhiru appeared was because they all understood that this was also a small reminder given to them by Lord Shen Mu.
Now that their power has been shared, they can only accept it with gritted teeth. As for Zhang Caidong's relationship with Lord Shen Mu, they also think that this may be the tacit understanding formed between Lord Shen Mu and Zhang Caidong. None of them can say anything.
"Brother Bo, I really appreciate your dedication to me." Zhang Caidong's face was filled with emotion when he thought of this.
"We are all from the Zhang family, and we all came from the village in the city, so let's not talk so much." Zhang Bo also shook his head and smiled, encouraging Zhang Caidong: "You can thank me when you are in a high position. Besides, the better you do, the better I do, it's the same."
However, in Zhang Bo's heart, seeing Zhang Caidong so moved, he showed an even more contemptuous smile.
The prices of all the items were agreed upon secretly, but unfortunately Zhang Caidong didn't know that he had already marked the price for him. (End of this chapter)
