51: Chapter 51 The Struggle Between Managers_1 51: Chapter 51 The Struggle Between Managers_1 News of Wu Qiuyan’s resignation had spread throughout the project before the end of the workday.
Reasons for her resignation were speculated by Wang, Song, and Yezi, but they remained unsolved.
Bai Xiaosheng sat at his desk, not participating in the discussion.
This unusual behavior made Yezi highly suspicious, convinced that Bai Xiaosheng knew sothing insider.
Unfortunately, under the relentless questioning of this young lady, he remained tight-lipped.
Before leaving work, Bai Xiaosheng received a package.
Upon opening it, he found a coffee mug, a VIP gift from Island Coffee’s anniversary celebration.
Besides that, there was also a scenic postcard in the package.
Only a few delicate words were written, “Thank you, goodbye!”
It seed that Wu Qiuyan had probably left the city.
Bai Xiaosheng looked over the postcard and smiled knowingly.
“A mug, a postcard, what era is this?
People are still giving these,” Yezi glanced over and muttered as she packed up to leave work.
Bai Xiaosheng set the mug in a prominent position, perfectly upright.
He stood up and headed ho.
At this mont, a storm was brewing in the project departnt.
With Wu Qiuyan gone, it was just more gossip among the employees.
But for the complex situation of the project team, it ant the balance of power was disrupted.
Additionally, with the opening event imminent, the promotion departnt couldn’t be without a head, and work could not be delayed.
After work, leaders above the manager level at the Teleis Square Project Departnt were called to the eting room.
It was ti to select a head for the promotion departnt.
The argunts began.
“I think newcor Bai Xiaosheng is more than capable of taking on this role.
Everyone witnessed his performance that day,” Chen Daya said excitedly as he put forth the nomination.
Honestly, Wu Qiuyan’s departure had shocked him.
That woman was Li Mingtong’s right-hand person, and her relationship with Li Mingtong was muddled at best.
For Chen Daya, she was a thorn in his side.
A thorn that couldn’t be moved, could not be pulled out!
Yet now, this thorn had left on her own!
Chen Daya didn’t know what to say.
Curious and itching to know more, he asked persistently, but Bai Xiaosheng didn’t utter a word, leaving him with no choice.
Chen Daya reported to Shang Wenshu, and Shang’s reaction was inscrutable, almost as if he thought it was normal.
This made Chen Daya think that even Mr.
Shang was involved.
However, this was definitely an opportunity!
Chen Daya, of course, was not going to let it slip by.
“I disagree!” Li Mingtong’s face darkened as he opposed on the spot, “That kid’s only been here for a few days.
What qualification does he have to be a manager?
Who here doesn’t have more experience than him?
We can’t just let him be manager because he was brought by Mr.
Shang!”
The managers from various departnts started to whisper amongst themselves.
“Mr.
Li, since when do we look at seniority for selecting a manager on our project?
If we talk about seniority, old Wang the gatekeeper has been here longer than you and ; can he be the project manager or even deputy manager?” Chen Daya wouldn’t back down this ti, retorting sharply, “It’s not about being brought in by leadership, it’s about Bai Xiaosheng having the capability, which everyone has seen!”
Li Mingtong sneered, “Did he co up with and execute those ideas himself?
I think that’s the hard work of the entire promotion departnt.
I believe it’s the forr manager Wu Qiuyan and Wang who deserve the credit, not Bai Xiaosheng who rely followed instructions.
What’s so praiseworthy about that?”
“If you can find another person who can, just like Bai Xiaosheng did that day with the project, even parrot back the overall promotional strategy, then I would agree to consider it,” Chen Daya said calmly but firmly, adding with a smile, “But don’t just randomly assign soone.
This position requires professionalism!”
Li Mingtong was at a loss for words, but he was still not agreeable, “Even so, there are other issues!”
The eting lasted a full hour, and Chen Daya found Li Mingtong’s ability to find fault incredible.
But he also stood his ground.
The situation suddenly beca tense, and even the managers couldn’t get a word in.
It had been a long ti since Chen and Li had faced off like this, and why did Wu Qiuyan resign?
Managers who had heard so rumors began to murmur among themselves.
They were not clear about the outco of the eting, but each had inexplicably reached a consensus—
At all costs, they must not provoke Bai Xiaosheng from the Marketing Departnt!
He was sent by Mr.
Shang, not to ntion that.
It was said that Wu Qiuyan tried to make things difficult for him, and in just a few days, she inexplicably left, not even Li Mingtong or Wang Ye could protect her?
And now, because of him, the top two were about to co to blows!
So, if it’s nothing, don’t bother this person.
If there’s sothing though, it’s better to push it onto the leaders!
Bai Xiaosheng could never have imagined that he had inexplicably beco the third most intimidating person in the project, right after Chen Daya and Li Mingtong!
The eting was noisy for quite a while, with Chen Daya and Li Mingtong each stepping out to take a call.
When they ca back, both of their attitudes had suddenly changed.
“Since Mr.
Li insists on questioning Bai Xiaosheng, I can reserve my opinion.
You can choose soone from the Marketing Departnt, and we can discuss it again,” Chen Daya conceded.
In the Marketing Departnt, the one who has the ability and seniority is Wang.
Wang is neutral and can be promoted.
Chen Daya had reported that Mr.
Shang’s intention was that the position doesn’t matter; it’s rely a formality.
However, once Bai Xiaosheng makes any requests, Chen Daya must fully cooperate and support him!
After this call, Chen Daya began to recognize Bai Xiaosheng’s status even more highly.
“Actually, it’s not that we can’t use Bai Xiaosheng.
I’m only thinking of what’s best for the project!”
Surprisingly, Li Mingtong’s attitude took a complete 180-degree turn.
This turn was so abrupt that it caught a group of managers off guard, almost leaving them in the dust.
“Then, shall we let Bai Xiaosheng act as a temporary manager?” Chen Daya tentatively put forward the proposal.
This was a compromise.
“No need for ‘temporary’—making him a manager is enough.
Adding ‘temporary’ seems like we don’t trust him, which could hurt his work enthusiasm,” Li Mingtong compromised quickly and thoroughly.
Even Chen Daya was stunned.
“Since Vice Manager Li says so…” Chen Daya looked around, and no one else objected.
“The HR departnt will issue a notice tomorrow.
Bai Xiaosheng is promoted to Manager of the Marketing Departnt!”
The eting ended.
Li Mingtong quickly packed up his stuff.
Without greeting anyone, he hurried back to his office.
Arriving at his office, Li Mingtong threw his things down and sat heavily in his chair, lost in thought.
Indeed, Vice General Manager Wang Ye had called him.
Wang Ye, sohow inford, told him not to act rashly, especially regarding Bai Xiaosheng!
To be cautious, even more cautious!
Restrained, even more restrained!
Why would such a domineering vice general manager appear so wary of a green youth?
Li Mingtong didn’t understand.
But he had his own considerations!
“Bai Xiaosheng, oh, Bai Xiaosheng.
Even Mrs.
Wang has ordered not to touch you, but the resentnt in my gut isn’t going away!” Li Mingtong revealed a cold smirk, talking to himself, “Old grudges and new, I was almost driven mad by anger.
If you weren’t the manager of the marketing departnt…”
“How would I deal with you then!”
