In the evening, when Chen Hansheng attended the preparatory meeting for the debate competition of the Finance Institute, Zheng Guanti's message of accountability finally came.
"Li Xiaokai is the deputy factory director who I appointed to be responsible for the second round of MP3 production and sales. In the conference room this afternoon, if you can help him say a word, he won't be so depressed now."
The message contained blame and disappointment. Chen Hansheng didn't expect Li Xiaokai to be so withdrawn, but he felt that his approach was not wrong.
His "brave" standing up actually did not help the matter at all. At most, Li Xiaokai's mood would be better. It turned out that he was not fighting alone.
Chen Hansheng: Brother Ti, let's be realistic. My words are useless because I am insignificant. It is very likely that one person's withdrawal will turn into two people's withdrawal.
Zheng Guanti: Why do I feel that you are not serious at all?
Chen Hansheng couldn't help but laugh. He didn't intend to stand on Li Xiaokai's side, so his words were inevitably a bit playful.
"Ahem."
Guan Shuman, the teacher of the Youth League Committee, coughed in front, reminding Chen Hansheng not to be distracted.
Now there will be no such fool as Zuo Xiaoli, pointing at Chen Hansheng's nose to make him concentrate during meetings. Even Chen Tianyu, the president of the college student union, did not dare to do so.
However, Chen Hansheng was also much more honest. He sat up straight and listened to Guan Shuman's speech. Even when he was sending messages to Zheng Guanti, he became serious.
Chen Hansheng: In fact, you are still too hasty. Deputy Director Li is not qualified enough to coordinate. Only you can go back to Jianye to complete the second round of MP3 production.
Zheng Guanti: When I go back, the market foundation that I have laid with great difficulty will be lost.
Chen Hansheng: Then there is no way, unless...
Zheng Guanti:?
Chen Hansheng: I have a bad idea. It depends on whether you agree or not.
······
The next morning, Li Xiaokai called Chen Hansheng: "Consultant Chen, General Manager Zheng said you have a bad... so nice idea?"
Chen Hansheng thought to himself, awesome, he is indeed raised in the United States. We wanted to cover up that we could only exchange Chinese homophones, but Li Xiaokai even included English. It turns out that knowing a foreign language gives you more ways.
"Brother Kai, let's meet and talk. It's hard to explain over the phone."
"Okay, then come quickly."
Chen Hansheng was in the classroom and was planning to go there immediately, but the teacher of this course was Tao Lisong. After talking for a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that our class is a little different recently. I can see a most familiar stranger for several classes in a row."
"The Most Familiar Stranger" is a song from Elva Hsiao's 1999 album. Now the hair salon in Yiwu Commodity City often plays it on repeat.
Tao Lisong was looking at Chen Hansheng when he spoke. The class was laughing, and Chen Hansheng himself was laughing, which meant that he was willing to come back to class.
Tao was still good to Chen Hansheng, probably because last year Shen Youchu brought the mustard chili he made to the classroom, but was coldly received. Chen Hansheng publicly supported him from the perspective of class monitor, which made a good impression on Tao Lisong.
So in the final exams of several teachers, only Tao Lisong's "Organizational Behavior" gave Chen Hansheng a passing score.
Occasionally, one or two such teachers will be encountered in college. They don't need to please anyone, nor do they need to curry favor with anyone. They just teach their own classes and appreciate students with personality.
So Chen Hansheng simply didn't skip the morning class. Anyway, it wasn't him who was anxious.
After arriving at the New Century Electronics Factory at noon, Li Xiaokai took Chen Hansheng to the cafeteria for lunch. Chen Hansheng smiled and refused: "Brother Kai has been promoted, why are you still so stingy? Take me out for a meal."
It was not until they sat in the hotel's private room that Li Xiaokai suddenly realized: "You don't eat in the cafeteria. Are you worried that others will see us?"
"Yes, it will have a bad influence."
Chen Hansheng admitted it readily.
Li Xiaokai nodded silently, thinking that a college student thinks more carefully than me. There is a reason why some people always say that I have low emotional intelligence.
Chen Hansheng did not intend to discuss these social experiences with Li Xiaokai. He said straight to the point: "The key to this matter is that when the second round of MP3 production was carried out, Brother Kai wanted to reform, but Director Lin and others disagreed, so we just had to find a way to get them..."
Chen Hansheng made a downward cutting motion with a knife.
Li Xiaokai was shocked: "Are you kidding? How can you commit illegal acts?!"
"What are you thinking, Brother Kai? How can I, a college student of the new era, engage in violent acts?"
Chen Hansheng explained: "What I mean is, since they don't approve, why not send them all away? Out of sight, out of mind, they won't bother you, and they won't disturb your correct thinking."
"Are you sure sending them away doesn't mean killing them?"
Li Xiaokai was still a little hesitant.
"Of course not."
"Other people are not fools, how can they listen to your orders."
"Hehe."
Chen Hansheng smiled: "This is the essence. Director Lin and his team think that the first round of MP3 production and sales performance is good. You can sign up for a tour group. On the surface, it is to reward everyone for their hard work in the past period of time. It happens to be close to the end of the year. They will definitely not doubt it."
Li Xiaokai's brain reacted a little: "The tour group will gather them together, so where should they be sent?"
Chen Hansheng replied: "Of course, the farther the better, overseas is the most suitable. Then you will be the only one in the factory, and it will be your stage."
"What if they know and rush back immediately?"
Li Xiaokai thought this idea was too radical and there were loopholes.
Chen Hansheng was prepared: "That's why I said abroad. You can go with me when the time comes. Find an opportunity to collect all the ID cards of Director Lin and others on the pretext of booking air tickets. How can we return without ID cards abroad?"
"Damn!"
Li Xiaokai seemed to meet Chen Hansheng for the first time, and kept looking at him: "If Director Lin and others knew that I hid the ID card, they would hate me to death?"
"Who asked you to admit it."
Chen Hansheng couldn't help shaking his head: "Just say that the luggage with the ID card was stolen. It's normal to lose something when traveling. When you return to China, you can use the reason of helping them to reissue their ID cards. Maybe those managers will thank you."
Today, Chen Hansheng completely opened Li Xiaokai's eyes. What is the real chain of events?
"What if they find out in the end that the ID card is not a reissue?"
Li Xiaokai still has a question.
"Just find a reason."
Chen Hansheng thought this was not a problem at all: "You can just say that the local police helped to find it. Did they go to the police station to verify it?"
"Besides."
Chen Hansheng continued: "After these leaders leave, you can take the opportunity to promote and win over a group of people, and let them help to support the second round of MP3 production tasks. This will also be your team. You will never be alone like yesterday."
Li Xiaokai felt uncomfortable when he thought of how he looked at the meeting yesterday. He really pondered the rationality of it in his heart.
"After all, things can't be covered up." Li Xiaokai still couldn't help worrying.
Chen Hansheng smiled: "By then, you had already proved yourself in the second round of MP3 sales. You had achievements and a team. Who would dare to do anything to you?"
There was suddenly no sound in the box. Only the clock hanging on the wall was "tick-tick, tick-tick" swinging. Li Xiaokai stared at the red lacquered table quietly.
Chen Hansheng knew he was thinking, so he didn't urge him.
"I can gain a lot by doing this, what about you?"
Finally, Li Xiaokai raised his head and asked, he didn't believe that Chen Hansheng had no ulterior motives.
Chen Hansheng thought to himself, if I tell the truth, will it scare you so much that you won't dare to eat?
In fact, he is not greedy, and his wishes are very small. He just wants to take over the whole factory in a few years.
