Chapter 1360: Fight with Both Open and Secret Means / The Branch Company’s General Manager

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

“Liu Zheqiao and Liu Huamei, my brother and sister, are actually fighting because of power struggles. The old man saw it with his eyes, but he didn’t interfere. Why?” Liu Zhenan spoke and paused here, “That’s because we are all confronting each other directly rather than telling on someone behind their back! Indeed, you said that Liu Jifei raped your wife with incense. However, how is the recording on your mobile phone evidence? It seems voluntary in the way I heard it, let alone our grandpa! Do you think that Grandpa will bother after listening to it? Wouldn’t he think that you and Wang Lixia will work together to scam Liu Jifei!?”

Xu Xiaobin was surprised after hearing it. He just heard that Grandpa Liu did not interfere in the struggle for power of Liu Zhenan and others, but he did not expect that such a rule on a deeper level existed! Although he didn’t know the truth, looking at Liu Zhenan’s expression, Xu Xiaobin had to believe it.

After all, thinking about it carefully, the evidence on the phone was really not much evidence! Liu Zhenan was right. What Wang Lixia said on the mobile phone recording was all to please Liu Jifei. If she pretended to please him, who would believe it?

Anyone who listened to this recording would think that these two were willing, not that one party was forced! Even if Liu Jifei did it with incense, from Wang Lixia’s words, she seemed to have agreed to be Liu Jifei’s mistress! There was no evidence at all. It seemed that if Grandfather Liu Jiangyan heard it, he would definitely not support him!

Xu Xiaobin didn’t think about calling the police, but if he did so, the evidence would be insufficient. Secondly, he was afraid that Liu Jiangyan knew that he would have an opinion on him after he called the police. It was alright to fight using both open and secret means in the family, but not to spread the shame out!

Now that he heard Liu Zhenan said this, Xu Xiaobin was also discouraged. “Then, in this matter, I should just let it go?”

” Hehe , if you have great achievements in the future, are you afraid that you will not have the opportunity to settle the score?” Liu Zhenan said with a smile, but he thought deep down in his heart. Liu Jifei is now my underling. Will I give you a chance to settle the score? Just because of your attitude in front of me, I have to teach you a lesson. Otherwise, having someone like you who will play tricks behind people’s back at any time is like keeping a time bomb.

Liu Zhenan had an idea in mind and thought of a plan, but on the surface, he said calmly, “This time, I can recommend you to be the general manager of the Song Jiang branch. You should also know that this position is popular now. There is no shortage of people in the group who wants to compete for this position. Liu Zheqiao is from the Human Resource Department. It is very safe to insert a confidant in, but this time, I’ll talk to my father, and I can give you compensation!”

How would Xu Xiaobin know that Liu Zhenan was just giving empty promise? Seeing what Liu Zhenan said seemed all right, he believed it! He used to think that he could be promoted to be the general manager of Song Jiang branch smoothly, but he did not expect so many people to compete for this position!

But, after thinking through it, there was such a possibility! The Liu Family’s immediate children must be dismissive of this position, but there must be some confidants under them. It was not impossible to arrange for them to be in this position! After all, the branch company and the company were two concepts.

“What about this contract…?” Xu Xiaobin knew he could not help with Liu Jifei for the time being, and had to shift his focus to the contract.

“Since this contract has already been signed like this, it is not something that I can change, so I’ll discuss it with my father and give you a reply.” Liu Zhenan said, “You can leave this contract with me first.”

“Alright, Vice President Liu, I’ll go back first.” Xu Xiaobin quickly got up and left. As Liu Zhenan said so, he also gave up the idea of ​​holding Liu Jifei accountable now. It was still himself not being capable in the end. After he became strong, it would not be too late to deal with Liu Jifei.

After Xu Xiaobin left, Liu Zhenan’s face became gloomy. He picked up the phone on the desk and dialed Liu Jifei’s mobile phone number.

Liu Jifei was proud. Not only did he retaliate against Jing Xiaolu, but he also just got his hands on Wang Lixia. In his opinion, this life had become infinitely better. Hearing the ringing of the mobile phone, he picked it up and took a look at the caller ID above. His expression turned serious after catching a glimpse. “President Liu, this is Jifei. Do you have anything you need?”

Liu Zhenan wanted to scold Liu Jifei badly, but every time he heard Liu Jifei’s charming and humble voice, he had an indescribable soothing feeling in his heart! This brat really knows how to talk! In this case, Liu Zhenan found it inappropriate to scold, but his tone was still awful. “Liu Jifei, where are you?”

“I’m in Song Jiang. President Liu, do you need something from me?” Liu Jifei was somewhat inexplicable. This Liu Zhenan seems to be angry!

“After you signed the contract, what are you still doing in Song Jiang? Why didn’t you come back and report to me?” asked Liu Zhenan.

Liu Jifei was surprised deep down in his heart. How did Liu Zhenan know that I had signed the contract? Moreover, he seemed to be angry because of this matter . Liu Jifei was startled and quickly said with a grin, “Mr. Liu, this is the case. It is true that I just finished signing the contract, but I thought about buying you some Song Jiang specialties. Then, I will return to Haicheng to report to you!”

After listening to Liu Jifei ‘s explanation, Liu Zhenan couldn’t help but be a little amused. Aren’t you lying blatantly? However, this lie made people feel very comfortable. Liu Zhenan snorted, “What do you mean by buying specialties? I think you’re just there to seduce someone’s wife.”

“Ah!” Liu Jifei’s hand that held the phone suddenly froze, and the sweat on his head fell down. How did Liu Zhenan know what I did? Did he guess it, or did he really know it?

“No need for it! Do you know that Xu Xiaobin has approached me to complain about you?!” Liu Zhenan snorted coldly, “Hurry up and come back! Otherwise, you, little brat, will die unknowingly!”

“Okay, okay! I’ll go right now. President Liu, rest assured. I’ll definitely drive the car like an airplane. Otherwise, I won’t be called Liu Jifei!” Liu Jifei quickly promised.

“This brat!” Liu Zhenan shook his head helplessly and hung up the phone. If it weren’t for Liu Jifei’s loyalty to him, and his likable words, Liu Zhenan wouldn’t care about him.

“Motherf*cker, how did this Xu Xiaobin know about it? He went to Liu Zhenan so quickly?” Liu Jifei cursed, somewhat inexplicably, but he didn’t dare to delay in his pace. Hence, he hurried to his car and went straight to Haicheng.

On the highway, Liu Jifei and Xu Xiaobin’s car went past each other, but none of them paid attention to the opposite car. Liu Jifei was now shocked and angry with some nervousness in his heart. He didn’t know if Liu Zhenan would deal with him. On the other hand, Xu Xiaobin felt vexed in his heart with a hint of resentment, but he could not do anything about it.

Liu Jifei had recently become a regular guest of the Jiangyan Group. The reception lady at the door also knew that he was now the fair-haired boy in front of Vice President Liu Zhenan, so she smiled and nodded, “Mr. Liu, are you looking for Vice President Liu?”

Liu Jifei nodded, “Yes, President Liu just called me and asked me to come over.”

The receptionist lady nodded, called to confirm, and then said to Liu Jifei, “Mr. Liu, Vice President Liu is waiting for you in the office on the upper level.”

Liu Jifei took the elevator to Liu Zhenan’s office, knocked on the door, and heard Liu Zhenan’s voice coming from inside, “Please come in!”

“President Liu, I’m here to beg for forgiveness!” Liu Jifei lowered his head as he entered the door, appearing as someone who made a mistake. His tone was quite sincere. “I’ve caused you trouble!”

“Fine, you little b*stard!” Liu Zhenan looked at Liu Jifei as though Jifei was a slave, with a smile on his mouth. “If it weren’t for me covering you from here, Xu Xiaobin, that fellow, might stir up the matter in front of Grandpa!”

“Thank you, President Liu for solving it!” Liu Jifei said quickly, “I will definitely work hard for President Liu!”

“Never mind those useless remarks. Let me ask you this. Is the incense thing Xu Xiaobin mentioned true?” Liu Zhenan asked after he waved his hand.

Liu Jifei did not dare to hide from Liu Zhenan, and explained carefully, “Yes! It is true. I used incense on his wife…”

“I didn’t ask you this sh*t. I asked whether you used this incense when you signed the contract.” Liu Zhenan glared at Liu Jifei and asked.

“Yes, when I signed the contract, I also used incense!” Liu Jifei heard that Liu Zhenan had no plans to hold him accountable to Xu Xiaobin’s wife, and he felt relieved. The matter seemed to be over.

“En, Xu Xiaobin figured it out. He came to me and wanted to sign the contract again,” said Liu Zhenan.

Chapter 1476: The Branch Company’s General Manager

“What?! Sign the contract again? How can that be!?” Liu Jifei was startled. “It took me a lot of effort to sign the contract as it is now. How can I sign the contract again?”

“To tell you the truth, if this contract was signed normally, you’ve made a great achievement. Why did you sign the contract like this?” Liu Zhenan frowned. Previously, when Xu Xiaobin took the contract out and explained everything to him, he began to wonder why Liu Jifei signed the contract as it was now, but he didn’t ask because he didn’t think Xu Xiaobin would know.

“It’s because Jing Xiaolu of the Ming Yang Security Company and I have a bit of a private grudge. This time, she is in charge of negotiations, so I thought of such a way to teach her a lesson. Anyway, the final signed contract is also beneficial to our company!” said Liu Jifei.

“Beneficial my *ss!” Liu Zhenan glared at Liu Jifei. “Xu Xiaobin told me before. After you take advantage of them, will they really cooperate sincerely? There will be a gap between the two sides. This newly established company won’t be able to go far.”

“This…” Liu Jifei didn’t really think of this. He had thought about making Jing Xiaolu suffer a short end, and felt that the contract was very beneficial to the company. He didn’t even consider the feelings of the Ming Yang Company. With Liu Zhenan’s lecture, he suddenly came to his senses. Cooperation was two-sided. It wasn’t about having one side to direct everything.

Liu Zhenan sighed. Liu Jifei was great in conspiracies, but he didn’t know enough about the business world. However, it didn’t matter. There was no shortage of talents in his own company. What he lacked was a conspiracist that could help him to defeat his opponent.

“Well, you don’t have to worry about it anymore, I have figured out a way to back out for you!” Liu Zhenan said, “For the matter of you using incense, except for Xu Xiaobin who already knew about it, don’t tell anyone. It will also keep Xu Xiaobin silent.”

“Thank you, President Liu!” Liu Jifei quickly thanked him.

“After this time, I will transfer you back to the head office and be a finance deputy director or human resource deputy director.” Liu Zhenan said, “Leave the mess on your side to Xu Xiaobin and let him be a branch company general manager. If something goes wrong with the company, everything will be blamed on him!”

“President Liu is wise!” Liu Jifei said quickly. In fact, he thought the same way. In the future, he would pass the bad things to Xu Xiaobin, and it had nothing to do with him.

“If you don’t disclose the incense, it still seems that you have done a great job. After all, you see the benefits of the contract. You are the hero of this negotiation. As for how this branch company will develop in the future, you should not participate,” said Liu Zhenan. “Alright, you go back first.”

“Yes, President Liu!” Liu Jifei responded.

“Right, that Wang Lixia is not a good thing. She promised you upfront and recorded what you said behind your back with her phone. She gave it to Xu Xiaobin to tell on you. If I didn’t delete the recording, you would suffer a bad end!” Liu Zhenan informed, “You need to be careful in the future! Don’t mix with that Wang Lixia. How can you be fond of that? Are you short of women? Why did you have to provoke Xu Xiaobin’s woman!?”

“Please rest assured, President Liu. If I touch Wang Lixia again, I will castrate myself!” Liu Jifei promised.

Liu Zhenan was immediately delighted after he heard Liu Jifei’s promise and waved his hand in dismissal.

After Liu Jifei left, Liu Zhenan hesitated a moment. He picked up the phone and dialed the phone number left by Xu Xiaobin before.

“Xu Xiaobin? This is Liu Zhenan,” said Liu Zhenan.

“Hello, Vice President Liu! This is Xu Xiaobin!” Xu Xiaobin had just returned to the office. Before he took off his coat, Liu Zhenan’s phone call came over. He secretly thought that Liu Zhenan’s efficiency was fast.

“Xu Xiaobin, I discussed my ideas with my father, but he refused sternly,” Liu Zhenan said. “The company’s contract is a big deal. Once it is signed, how can it be changed randomly? If it is broken, this will be a precedent. All companies that have signed a contract with our company will come to ask for a new contract. Isn’t that a mess?”

“Ah, but …” Xu Xiaobin did not expect that the request to resign the contract would be rejected. “But this time, the situation is different! This time, the contract is signed under unfair circumstances. How can it be considered the same as a normal contract?”

“Yes, I know the difference you said, but what about others? Others wouldn’t think so!” Liu Zhenan said, “I believe about the incense you mentioned, but my father and grandfather do not believe it. For such weird reasons, they won’t take it seriously. I can’t help it!”

“Vice President Liu, is there any way to turn things around?” Xu Xiaobin asked unwillingly.

Liu Zhenan thought, If you didn’t call me “Vice President Liu,” if you can be more humble and serve me, maybe I can still help you. However, obviously, you are not on track, and you still expect me to help you? Just be Liu Jifei’s stepping stone.

“No, this is a big group, a big company. It’s not that whatever you say counts,” Liu Zhenan said. “After the contract is signed, you can change it if you want to change it. Isn’t that just a joke? Okay, just leave it at that.”

“Wait …” Before Xu Xiaobin’s words were finished, Liu Zhenan had hung up the phone. Xu Xiaobin had to smile helplessly.

“Xiaobin, how’s it going?” Wang Lixia had taken a bath, dressed, and sat anxiously waiting for Xu Xiaobin to return. However, Xu Xiaobin was answering the phone as soon as he got home. When he finished the call, Wang Lixia hurriedly asked.

“Ai, don’t mention it …” Xu Xiaobin’s face showed a painful look. “Your matter was covered up by the group’s Vice President Liu. He didn’t let me continue, saying that he would give me the Song Jiang Branch Company General Manager position as compensation.”

“How is that compensation?! Wouldn’t you have taken over as general manager of the Song Jiang branch company?” Wang Lixia was anxious as soon as she heard it.

“I thought it would be possible, but Vice President Liu analyzed the situation. I really don’t have much hope.” Xu Xiaobin sighed.

“What’s going on?” asked Wang Lixia.

“The Liu Family, Liu Zhenan, Liu Zheqiao, and Liu Huamei are all fighting for power. Now Song Jiang’s office has been upgraded to the Song Jiang branch company, and the general manager of this branch has become a desired position. All three of them want to put their own confidant in this post.” Xu Xiaobin explained, “Especially Liu Zheqiao, who is the director of the group’s human resource department. It is more convenient for him to put a confidant in, so it is tough to say if I can get this position!”

“What now?” asked Wang Lixia.

“With Liu Zhenan’s recommendation now, it should not be a problem.” Xu Xiaobin said up to here with a bitter smile, “However, I don’t have any roles. It doesn’t make much sense now. I might as well not be the general manager!”

“Why is this so? Why should we reject it?” Wang Lixia was surprised after hearing Xu Xiaobin’s words.

“Since Liu Jifei got in the way and signed the contract like this…” Then, Xu Xiaobin told Wang Lixia in detail about Liu Jifei signing the contract with incense.

“Why is it this incense again?” Wang Lixia frowned after hearing it. “So, the relationship has become worse before the two sides have cooperated. What you said is true. The position of general manager of this branch company is good, but now… I’m afraid no matter who it is, they won’t have an easy time with this position.”

“Indeed…” Xu Xiaobin said, “Anyway, I will first study the countermeasures with Vice President Jing of Ming Yang. After all, we caused all of it. We can’t ignore the other party…”
