Zhou Tao could tell that Li Wei was implying something, constantly reminding him about the video and urging them to cooperate well.
Once again, Zhou Tao looked over at Lin Tianjiao, who was pouting and looking at him with an aggrieved expression.
They communicated with their eyes, Zhou Tao gesturing for her to endure a little longer; after he had stabilized Li Wei, he would definitely find a way to deal with him.
Subsequently, Lin Tianjiao began to massage Li Wei's shoulders with great effort.
While enjoying the massage, Li Wei turned to Zhou Tao with a smile and asked, "Elder Zhou, you called me in such a hurry to talk about what? I didn't get enough rest working overtime last night, and I'm still sleepy."
Zhou Tao looked at Li Wei coldly and said, "How do you want to handle the video issue?"
"Haven't I already discussed it with Director Lin? Didn't she report to you? In the company, on the surface, I listen to you, but you have to listen to me behind the scenes."
"What can we listen to from a mere salesperson in the marketing department?"
Zhou Tao's implication was clear to Li Wei; he felt that Li Wei was not at their level.
Upon hearing this, Li Wei's face immediately darkened as he stared coldly at Zhou Tao and retorted, "I secured the exclusive agency rights in Lu Bei Province for Fields within a month of joining the company, and then I was the sales champion for three years and also served as the sales manager for two years. I admit, bringing in substandard parts was my neglect, but that doesn't negate my abilities. If it weren't for your constant suppression and exploitation over the years, do you think you could still hold your position? In my eyes, you're nothing!"
Although Fields's parts shipments in Lu Bei Province weren't substantial, Lu Bei, as a third-tier province, was seeing significant annual growth in shares.
As long as Prosperous Technology could maintain these distributors in Lu Bei, future revenues were guaranteed to increase substantially.
Seeing Li Wei becoming more agitated, Zhou Tao quickly interjected, "Don't get worked up, let's not talk about the past. I called you here to discuss current issues. As long as you can ensure that only the three of us know about the video and that your requests do not contravene the company's interests, we can consider them."
Zhou Tao, the old fox, spoke ambiguously with not a single direct word.
"I'm not asking you to consider it now, but to agree!"
Seeing Li Wei's resolute look, Zhou Tao had no choice but to nod in agreement for the moment.
In fact, both he and Lin Tianjiao were very clear about Li Wei's capabilities.
Those substandard parts bought from Wang Juan's brother were manageable, but it was Zhou Tao who, fearing Li Wei's strength and his quick rise could threaten his position, schemed behind his back.
Over the past three years after the incident, Zhou Tao and Lin Tianjiao had variously suppressed and exploited him.
Li Wei had thought about switching jobs, but the incident had left a bad mark in the industry, and his attempts at several companies failed, not to mention Wang Juan's constant complaints about him earning too little. If he resigned and couldn't find work for a while, his conflicts with Wang Juan would only worsen.
After much deliberation, Li Wei chose not to leave and continued to endure being treated like a subordinate at Prosperous Technology.
Li Wei stood up, smiled at Lin Tianjiao, and said, "Ah Jiao, you really need to practice your technique more!"
"I can't be bothered with you!" Lin Tianjiao dismissed him with a disdainful glance.
Li Wei then turned to Zhou Tao with a mischievous smile and said, "Elder Zhou, you need to train Ah Jiao more in massage skills! Don't spend all your time making her sing and play instruments. I mean, you're not getting any younger; you know exactly how much energy you have left. You should go home and take care of your wife more. With her size, one meal would last Ah Jiao half a month!"
