Chapter 178: Trust those you employ, and those you employ will not doubt you

A black Audi parked in front of a Chinese restaurant on California Street in Palo Alto, attracting the attention of many passers-by. This car is undoubtedly the new means of transportation that Zhou Ming bought after arriving in San Francisco.

Zhou Ming and Tang Ran are both in the car, and the bodyguard is checking the general condition of the car. This is the standard for bodyguards. After all, the car is new and does not have any bulletproof or blast-proof effects. As a bodyguard, he cannot help but check the car for safety every time before starting it. At the same time, he also has an electromagnetic detection device on him. If there is a suspicious electromagnetic signal , he can even directly block it to ensure that it is not a radio signal that triggers the bomb. After all, only a pure heart can ensure safety. By this time, the dinner party was already over.

Recalling the situation at the dinner just now and after the dinner when Cheng Qian refused to accept their offer, Tang Ran could not help but frown: 'Brother Ming, it seems that you trust that Cheng Qian very much?'

'Why do you ask? Do you think there is something wrong with that Cheng Qian?' Zhou Ming looked at Tang Ran with some surprise and asked, 'It's okay, you can ask whatever questions you want, it's fine.'

Tang Ran shook her head: 'Actually, I'm not going to get specific, I just feel that today our conversation with Cheng Qian was too relaxed. Whether it was earlier when you asked him about about the problems with Jieke, or when you later invited him to return to Jieke and continue working there, everything went very smoothly, as if it were being played out according to a pre-existing script...'

And finally Tang Ran added, 'Even Cheng Qian prepared the performance documents beforehand. This is really strange. Although Ming's words are very convincing and make people feel enthusiastic, I still feel that Cheng Qian's answer was too quick, as if he didn't have any psychological activity.'

Tang Ran while also paying attention to Zhou Ming's expression. She immediately explained, 'Brother Ming, in fact, this is just one of my feelings. My feelings may not be accurate. I just...'

Zhou Ming rubbed Tang Ran's head and smiled at her, 'So you felt it too.'

Tang Ran subconsciously froze at these words and asked Zhou Ming in a daze, 'I felt it? Do you feel the same way as me, Ming Ge?'

'Then Of course. Even if I am the protagonist, this book is not the kind of white text that exudes a kingly aura that can make the other person bow to you at once. At least not entirely. There is a reasonable explanation for most things. And now Cheng Qian has so easily accepted my invitation and even told me where the company's problems lie. This kind of smoothness always makes people feel strange.' Zhou Ming.

'So You feel the same way, Ming? Then why did you do it? 'Tang Ran asked, guessing, 'Could it be that he was deliberately sent by the Tang family to cause trouble for you?'

Zhou Ming thought for a while and said, 'I think he belongs to one of the heirs, not the elders of the ancestral hall clan.'

'Even if that's the case, it's still very dangerous, and his actions are basically those of a spy sent to you by someone else! So we'd better get rid of him!' Tang Ran said anxiously.

'Get I don't think there is a need to do so.' Zhou Ming shook his head and replied to Tang Ran. Before Tang Ran could think of anything to say, Zhou Ming continued, 'If you were Cheng Qian, what would you want to do at Jieke?'

Tang Ran stunned. She couldn't understand why Ming suddenly asked this question. Ming continued, 'It's nothing more than spying on me or trying to find a way to sabotage me, right? If really is the case, we just need to catch him in the act and fire him directly. It's not difficult. I don't think even you want to keep him, do you?'

'But by then it will be too late if he really does it,' Tang Ran asked again.

'Maybe so, maybe that's true, but we have no choice because the Jieke company that was handed over to us was a problem in itself, so now instead of slowly figuring it out ourselves one by one, it's better to keep him here, he can help us in some way, can't he?' Ming Zhou.

'So So Ming, are you just being stubborn? Tang Ran asked blankly.

Zhou Ming shrugged and said, 'Sort of.' Tang Ran was very concerned: 'But Ming, you'll be very tired having to use him and guard against him at the same time.'

'I I think you must have forgotten one thing: you can't trust everyone. Since I have kept him, I will not be suspicious of him. The reason is very simple: his surname is not Tang!'

After that, this, Zhou Ming continued: 'This means that at most there is only a cooperative relationship between him and the heir behind him. This relationship itself is not solid, and it is very similar to my relationship with him. I find it hard to believe that he will be loyalty. So instead of guarding against him, it is better to give him trust and wealth to draw his loyalty to our side and make him work for us. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?'

Tang Ranten immediately suddenly understood: 'Yes, Ming, you're absolutely right. That's what I call a king's style. The other approach, where you want to use someone but are afraid they'll betray you and so put up countless obstacles, is just human.

Faced with Tang Ran in praise, Zhou Ming embarrassed scratching his head and said: 'In fact, I'm not as good as you, I just simply think that our situation is already very disadvantageous, if at this time we go on to suspect someone who may be of great help to us, then things will definitely not work out.'

'Yes, If we let a process like this scare us now, what will happen to all the other people at Jeco? We can't doubt everyone. Even if we could fire them all, we would still have to recruit new employees, and would we have to doubt them too? If we did, we would be caught in a vicious circle! That's why Ming's approach is the best!' Tang Ran.

Zhou Ming felt a little surprised. He hadn't expected that she would have thought of all this just from the start, and it seemed that her intellectual potential was still very high!

At this time, he had been checking the car and sat back in the driver's seat. Under Zhou Ming's instructions, he started the car and drove directly to the hotel. And as Zhou Zhou Ming's car left, and in the alley not far away, Cheng Qian walked out. He watched Zhou Ming's car leave and heaved a heavy sigh. It felt like the stone that had been weighing on his chest had finally been removed, and he could finally catch his breath.

Cheng Qian knew that it was the pressure Zhou Ming had put on him. That was why he couldn't understand how someone who was clearly a young man under the age of thirty could give him such a feeling.

Cheng Qian couldn't understand. He took out the cheque for one million US dollars that Zhou Ming had given him and stared at it for a long time, until his mobile phone suddenly rang. Cheng Qian took it out and answered it, then frowned and said, 'Boss, I'm sorry I didn't call you immediately, but you don't need to insult me like this, do you? And you even my family. This is too much!'

Cheng Qian then fell silent, but his fists clenched, and then finally relaxed. He said, 'Boss, don't worry, I've already successfully made him accept me. He really wants me to stay at Jieke and help him. I'm not being doubted . Everything is going very well. Tomorrow he will treat everyone in the company to dinner. I will report back to you after it is over. Don't worry. He didn't give me any money. Even if he did, I would burn it.

After a few more words before he hung up. He looked down at the cheque in his hand, and with a determined look, he carefully put it back into his jacket pocket.

The next morning morning at 9, Zhou Ming and Tang Ran drove to Otto Building, which was the time agreed with Cheng Qian the day before, and as the elevator door opened, Cheng Qian was indeed waiting here with several company executives.

Seeing Zhou Ming and Tang Ran walked out of the elevator. Cheng Qian said first, 'Dear Ms. Tang Ran, Mr. Zhou Ming, good morning. Ms. Tang Ran is even more beautiful than yesterday, and it makes me believe even more that you are indeed the new president of Jieke, and it makes me believe that Jieke will be even more brilliant in your hands!'

In fact, Cheng Qian wasn't exactly a compliment. After the dinner last night, Zhou Ming took Tang Ran to buy new clothes, and even when they left the hotel this morning, Zhou Ming took Tang Ran to get a makeover, all for today's meeting. After all, she is the CEO of Jieke, and even if she is twenty years old, she has to act like a powerful woman of forty.

With Cheng Qian the compliments, and the others applauded. Tang Ran, a girl who obviously hadn't experienced this kind of battle before, subconsciously glanced back at Zhou Ming, who also looked at her to give her confidence. Tang Ran then waved her hand: 'No need for unnecessary words. Let's go to the meeting at the company first. I believe that Mr. Cheng Qian has already made all the arrangements for the meeting, right?'

'That's right. please, President Tang and Mr. Zhou Ming go to the meeting room.'

Cheng Qian led the way, first taking Zhou Ming and Tang Ran to the meeting room, and then going out to call everyone from the company to the meeting room.

Jieke Company The meeting room is very large, large enough to accommodate dozens of people in a meeting. It seems that in the past, when Jieke held company-wide meetings, there were still many people standing in this meeting room. But now, even the meeting table is not full.

In front of Zhou Ming eleven employees of the company sat idly around the meeting table, either with their legs crossed and leaning back in their chairs, slouching over on the table, and one of the female marketing staff was even fixing her makeup in the mirror. In short, none of them took the meeting seriously.

I think because since Jeco was acquired by the Down family, there have been many changes in leadership, so these people are used to changes in leadership. Not only that they are the 'best' who have survived the many layoffs when the company was declining, and they have absolute confidence in their own existence in the company.

It's just a formality, it will be over in a flash, and this CEO has definitely not been here as long as they have, so why take it so seriously?

This is what the thoughts of these Jieke employees at the moment, which made Zhou Ming frown, because this kind of lazy work style is fatal to any company. It seems that Cheng Qian's analysis yesterday was very reasonable, and employees are indeed the biggest problem in Jieke.

However, no matter how, it is still necessary to face it, so let the storm rage on!

Zhou Ming thought to himself, but to his surprise, these problems were only the beginning. As Zhou Ming glanced at Tang Ran in preparation for starting today's meeting, someone's mobile phone suddenly rang.
