Neither the representatives of senior management nor the heads of middle-level management expressed any objection to Zhang Bo's statement.
Obviously they all agreed with what he said.
"If it weren't for your invitation, Zhang Bo, I would never come here to negotiate with these remnants of the diesel company and the guys who have mixed up with them." The representative from the senior management snorted coldly and glanced at the head of the middle-level managers with an expression of contempt and disdain on his face.
"It's just like what you said. We are also willing to negotiate with you lackeys. It's all because of Brother Zhang Bo's face." Of course, the leader of the middle-level managers also had a cold look in his eyes. He glared at the representative of the senior management and rolled his eyes fiercely.
The verbal conflict between the two sides has been fully revealed.
Zhang Bo saw this and gently reached out and squeezed his chair. There was no expression on his face, only fatigue in his eyes. If you look closely at his eyes, you can find that there is a look of secret joy in the depths of his eyes.
After all, this was the scene he wanted.
"Okay, okay, I know you are very angry, but now is not the time to be angry. You should also understand that the Dehe mission still needs to maintain a peaceful state. This is Lord Shen Mu's expectation of us, and it is also a requirement of Manager Zhang Caidong." Zhang Bo tried to persuade them in a very earnest tone, but this kind of persuasion, which was meaningless, only added fuel to the fire.
I can't explain anything clearly. Can things be settled just by talking and trying to dissuade people like this?
It can only intensify the conflict.
As expected, when Zhang Bo said this, the head of the middle-level managers was the first to get angry, especially the senior management representative who was still sneering beside him clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the table in front of him: "We must talk about this matter first. Don't blame me for being too blunt. It's really these running dogs of senior management that are really infuriating."
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, let's talk it out." Zhang Bo quickly stretched out his hand to signal him to smash it in front of him. There was something wrong with the sound of a bang on the table. But his tone was still quite earnest: "You tell me what happened first. If we don't say anything, how can we adjust it? How can we calm down calmly? Talk about the matter first."
When he said this, the sneer on the face of the high-level manager's lackey next to him became even more intense. In particular, the leaders of the middle-level managers followed Zhang Bo's words and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just tell us what the situation is. You can't betray the Dehe mission and become the remnants of the diesel company. You don't allow others to say such things, right? How dare you, the betrayers, stand here and mediate with us, saying things like innocence?"
Of course, these senior managers knew that these middle-level managers were in the same boat with Dehrim.
It has nothing to do with the so-called diesel company. And it is impossible to say that it is the remnant of the diesel company.
But why would the representative of the senior management say this? He wanted to completely infuriate the leaders of these middle-level managers and make them completely lose their minds, so that they would start to make judgments and fall directly into the misunderstanding of self-defense, which would give them more excuses to make their own decisions.
As expected, the leader of the middle-level managers immediately fell into this trap. The representative of the senior management slammed the table again and stood up, "Do you think you can slander us as the remnants of the Diesel Company by saying this? We are all a group of loyal middle-level managers. We are all the most loyal Blue Star humans of Dehrim, and we are also the most loyal subordinates of Lord Shen Mu. On the other hand, you guys who were still involved in the Diesel Company at that time are the remnants of the Diesel Company!"
"Oh, that's an interesting statement. I have to say, it's really interesting." The representative of the senior management immediately smiled. After all, he was a senior executive of a small company before. He was quick-witted and eloquent. He immediately caught the loophole in the words of the middle-level manager and pointed at Zhang Bo. With a grim smile on his face, he slowly asked, "So what you mean is that Mr. Zhang Bo is also a remnant of the diesel company. Isn't that what you mean?"
This sentence immediately caused a higher level of verbal conflict, which made the middle-level manager's face slightly stunned. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhang Bo with a helpless expression on his face. His heart suddenly jumped and his heart began to beat rapidly. He quickly stretched out his hand to explain to Zhang Bo: "No, no, no, I don't mean these Mr. Zhang Bo. I mean these senior managers are likely to be the remnants of the diesel company. And they have nothing to do with you, Mr. Zhang Bo. We still trust you very much, Mr. Zhang Bo."
"What about Mr. Zhang Caidong? Do you mean that Mr. Zhang Caidong has a problem too?" The senior management representative next to him immediately asked the question again, and at the same time looked directly at the head of the middle-level management with a serious tone: "I see that you are taking photos so recklessly, are you trying to mess up the situation? Do you want to drag both Mr. Zhang Bo and Mr. Zhang Caidong into the water?"
"Wait, wait, wait." The head of the middle-level managers immediately fell into confusion. He subconsciously looked at Zhang Bo and then at the lackey of the senior manager in front of him. He was speechless. His lips trembled, his heart beat violently, and his chest rose and fell rapidly, but his mind could not form an effective inference to form a complete sentence.
"Bang!" Then the senior manager slammed his hand on the table. He also stood up and pointed at the nose of the middle-level manager and shouted angrily: "I think this is a plan of you diesel company's remnants to mess up the situation and drag Mr. Zhang Bo and Mr. Zhang Caidong into the water. Then you diesel company will purge us, the true loyalists of Dehrim, and it will be over! Is that right?!"
"That's not the case, that's not the case. It's absolutely not the case." The middle-level manager took a half step back subconsciously with panic on his face. He turned his head to look at Zhang Bo, but didn't know how to start. He just muttered and refuted incoherently: "That's absolutely not the case. We are obviously the loyalists! You running dogs are the remnants of the diesel company!"
"It's really interesting. Now you are saying that we are the remnants of the Diesel Company. Now I want to ask you, can you produce evidence that we are the remnants of the Diesel Company? I demand that you produce evidence now, otherwise we will never give up." The senior manager pressed on aggressively, not giving the middle-level manager any time to react. He even took a half step forward and came in front of the middle-level manager, saying viciously: "You have been blaming us before, and even those people behind you have been blaming us. Do you really think we don't know? You don't believe that we are the business of the Diesel Company at all. In fact, you are doing this now to overthrow us! Overthrow the system of us senior managers, and then take the position yourself! Want to replace us in the power struggle!"
"No, no, no, it's not like that. It's not like that." The middle-level manager took several steps back, his mind going blank due to the aura of the senior manager in front of him.
In fact, he or everyone at that time, when they were gathering in the open space, whispered about this idea, which was to overthrow these senior managers and let them become the new senior managers.
But no one said it clearly at that time.
Now, these senior managers took the opportunity of mediation to speak out, and they were exposed in their momentum. After these so-called loyal managers lied that they were not simply trying to find out the remaining thoughts of the diesel company, but actually wanted to seize power by mistake, they didn't know what to say because they couldn't defend themselves.
Just because they did have this idea, just because they did lie, and just because there is darkness in their hearts, the representatives of these senior managers occupied the moral high ground to accuse and force them.
In fact, the senior managers also had the same idea. They also lied and deceived the middle managers. They didn't even care who the remnants of the diesel company were. They just wanted all the middle managers who betrayed them and handed in the list and wanted to replace themselves to die.
If there is no way to kill them all, then marginalize them all, make them all ordinary people, let them no longer hold power, let them no longer possess power, let them live in poverty and hardship, like rats in the gutter.
This can also deter other humans on Blue Star and let them know what will happen if they offend these senior managers.
As for whether they are the remnants of the diesel company or not.
They don't care at all.
Anyway, now they just want to punish the whole group and eliminate these new forces that are trying to undermine them.
Now standing on the moral high ground, the representative of the senior management showed a scornful smile at the corners of his mouth, and there was even more disdain in his eyes, because he had experienced this kind of situation countless times as a senior executive of the company. He had to control the other party with words and momentum, and then the other party would follow his rhythm. Now the other party has entered his rhythm and has entered the stage where he needs to prove himself, which means he has fallen into a trap.
"Knock, knock, knock." But at this moment, a crisp sound of knocking on the table came from the front, interrupting the atmosphere of confrontation between the two sides.
It was Zhang Bo who made the sound. At this time, he was reaching out to help the two people who were still confronting each other and knocking on the table with his knuckles to indicate that they should take a liking to him. At the same time, his tone became more helpless, and he tried to persuade them earnestly: "Why are you two arguing here? We are here to solve the problem, not to intensify the conflict. Look at what you two look like. We are all human beings from Blue Star. There are undead monsters outside forcing us. Moreover, everyone's life is pretty good now. Compared with the days when we were in danger every day, now it is like heaven. Why do we have to fight among ourselves?"
This sentence sounds very high-sounding, but it still has no nutrition. Just because life is getting better and better now, and life will get better and better in the future, we need to quickly gather power so that we can eat more in the future. After all, when we become bigger and stronger, it will be time to divide the cake. Who gets the cake, who gets more, and who gets less, that is decided by those in power. If you don’t have power now, how can you get a big piece of cake for yourself when the time comes?
The senior managers are obviously experienced managers, so they understand the importance of this. For the middle managers, most of whom are just ordinary people, their political sensitivity is quite sharp.
Of course, at this time, the senior management representative also realized that Zhang Bo was deliberately taking sides. After all, he was now standing on the moral high ground, and was aggressively forcing the head of the middle-level management team to lose his balance and his psychological defenses were almost broken.
Wouldn't it be biased to mediate now?
But thinking about the relationship between Zhang Bo and these middle-level managers, he could also understand the morality and right and wrong here. Out of respect for Zhang Bo, he sighed and shook his head in his heart, without saying anything more, he took two steps back: "Since Mr. Zhang Bo said so, it is indeed true. We are all human beings, and we should indeed unite and work together."
"Thank you very much." Zhang Bo understood that the other party wanted to give him face, so he smiled and nodded, acknowledging the other party's face and friendship this time.
But this is exactly the effect he wants, so that both sides do not escalate the conflict.
The situation has eased now, but the conflict will be at its peak in the evening or at night.
Moreover, Zhang Bo knew clearly that even if he mediated, would both parties really listen?
Especially for those senior managers who have the upper hand, they will never let go of those middle managers who pose a direct challenge and conflict of interest to them.
So Zhang Bo looked at the two of them and tried to persuade them earnestly again, asking them to calm down their anger first, and then let them find their own groups, and not to go too far for the time being.
Zhang Bo has more details in this small plan. (End of this chapter)
