Chapter 3444: Chapter 3436: Shifting the Blame

"What do you plan to do?" Wang Heng asked curiously.

"I haven’t thought it through yet, and you guys shouldn’t pay too much attention to it."

"After all, this matter is related to my rice bowl, how can I not pay attention." Wang Heng said with a laugh.

"Then I can only say sorry, it’s likely your interests will be somewhat affected."

"It doesn’t matter, at worst I’ll just change jobs, I’ve got that bit of confidence." Chen Lin said.

"Then go ahead and do it boldly, we don’t have the right to stop you."

"Cheers."

The three clinked glasses and downed their drinks.

Their drinking session lasted until a little past ten at night.

Lin Yi called for a designated driver and left, Wang Heng and Chen Lin walked alone.

This was intentional on his part.

"Is the store expansion related to Lin Yi?"

"Probably not, even if he’s impressive, he can’t have that much influence."

"I remember you said that after the meeting that day, a call came from the construction site saying the work was halted, right?"

"It was indeed quite a coincidence, I hadn’t thought about it at the time either."

"So what are your plans now?"

"Keep my eyes open for suitable jobs, might just leave one day."

"You really want to go?"

"Just thinking about it, depends if anyone messes with me, if I’m in a bad mood, I’ll definitely leave."

"No need to act out of anger, it’s your fault if you go against money."

"That’s why I’m still working here, preparing for two outcomes."

"You’re completely not handling the new store issue?"

"If it were you, what would you do?"

"Same as you."

"So talking again is pointless."

"I’m not worried about you, mainly worried about Lin Yi. He’s more powerful than you." Wang Heng said:

"If he leaves, it’ll be a huge loss for the company."

"Not just a loss, if this isn’t handled well, our outcome may be worse than the other two companies."

Chen Lin said:

"With his smarts and methods, if he acts recklessly, he can surely make headquarters feel the pain."

"You saw his attitude, we can’t manage this."

"Leave it to fate, after all, we’re just out working."

"Indeed."

"Let’s not discuss Lin Yi’s matters, seeing the current conditions, that plot of land can’t be developed anytime soon, how is headquarters handling it?"

"Tomorrow I’m going to the zone office for a meeting, let Zhou Zhixue handle it himself, if he can’t solve it, he won’t be the director of the zone." Wang Heng said:

"I guess he might ask you to come tomorrow, best to bring Lin Yi too."

"I’ll try, depends on his mood."

Wang Heng smiled helplessly, "Worked for so many years, first time seeing an employee like this."

...

Early next morning, when Lin Yi arrived at the 4S store, he was called aside by Sun Youtian.

"I’ve pulled out all the data." Sun Youtian said:

"Four cars proactively came to check their transmissions, all had similar issues, initial judgment is that there’s definitely a problem, just waiting for the professional certification to be released."

"I’ve already found people to work on this, should have results soon."

"Damn, not fighting for bread but for dignity, must pull off something big this time."

Lin Yi nodded, he had similar thoughts.

But before the professional assessment report comes out, he must keep his composure.

Finished talking to Sun Youtian, Lin Yi went to change into work clothes.

Soon, a message from Chen Lin appeared on his phone.

"Join me for a meeting at the zone office this afternoon, have time?"

Lin Yi didn’t think much, replied with an OK gesture.

After lunch, Lin Yi drove, taking Chen Lin to the zone office.

Meanwhile, Xu Fang arrived early at Zhou Zhixue’s office.

They both understood Wang Heng’s purpose for coming.

If this matter isn’t resolved, they’ll definitely be implicated.

"Boss Zhou, I’ve tried contacting friends in the circle these days but nobody can help, what should we do?"

"I’m more anxious than you, if no solution is found, I’ll bear the main responsibility."

Suddenly, Xu Fang’s eyes lit up.

"I thought of a way."

"Let’s hear it."

"Push this matter away." Xu Fang said:

"I’ll continue doing my original work, hand over the new store issue to Chen Lin, this way if anything happens, I won’t be responsible."

"If that’s the case, you won’t have any opportunities."

"It’s not about opportunities anymore, if this isn’t solved, I might lose my job, better to offload quickly, clear my ties, let Chen Lin take the hit."

"This could work, things will need someone to take the fall."

"That’s what I think, let Chen Lin take the blame, don’t involve me."

"Let’s do that then." Zhou Zhixue checked the time, "Time’s about up, let’s go to the meeting."

"Alright."

Meanwhile, Lin Yi and Chen Lin drove to the building downstairs.

Upon entering the meeting room, they found not all 4S store managers were present.

It was more like an internal meeting, attendees included Wang Heng, Zhou Zhixue, Wu Jinrong, Lin Yi, Chen Lin, and Xu Fang.

Seeing who was present, Lin Yi knew what today’s talk was about.

"Called you all here today mainly to discuss the store expansion." Wang Heng initiated:

"Headquarters has sent word to quickly handle this for the Zhonghai District, Boss Zhou, you’re the director for Zhonghai, you need to arrange these matters."

At this moment, Zhou Zhixue was like an ant on a hot pan, if he had solutions, he wouldn’t have delayed until now.

At this point, he could only push responsibility outward.

"Chen Lin, Xu Fang, headquarters intends to merge the two stores, as direct responsible persons, you should handle this matter."

"Boss Zhou, I have a proposal." Xu Fang said.

"Go ahead."

"Actually, our store still has a lot of work, every day we have many customers to serve, if the stores truly merge, customer choice rights will decrease, daily maintenance and consultation will face changes due to travel distances, I think it’s better not to merge, follow the original plan, that’s best for both our stores."

"You have a point."

Zhou Zhixue looked at Wang Heng and Wu Jinrong.

"Director Wang, President Wu, what do you think?"

"Although headquarters intends to merge, if conditions here don’t allow, they won’t enforce it." Wang Heng said calmly.

Xu Fang’s expression showed happiness.

"Director Wang, why don’t you talk to headquarters, suggest not merging, just continue separately, I think that’s good."
