Chapter 727: Chapter 727: Three-Month Agreement

Leng Ruobing nodded at these words. The executive made a valid point. The entertainment market looked like it was booming with fervent activity, but beneath this prosperity lurked a crisis. A misstep could lead to disastrous losses.

If they were just getting in to make a quick buck, then it would be no big deal if they lost, as the loss wouldn’t be significant. However, Leng Ruobing had decided to treat this project as the main act of the company’s future development. Should it fail, the consequences would be unimaginable.

With this thought, Leng Ruobing glanced at Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng chuckled, then began to speak, "Ladies and gentlemen, there’s absolutely no need to worry about this issue."

"Hmm?"

As soon as Xiao Zheng spoke up, many of the company’s executives frowned. They knew of Xiao Zheng’s mysterious background, but this was a meeting concerning the company’s future trajectory. It wasn’t appropriate for Xiao Zheng to interject here.

"President." Thus, an executive spoke up, calmly stating, "This meeting is to discuss the crucial future development strategies of the company. Those participating have all fought through the business sea for many years and have abundant experience. Mr. Xiao, though of no ordinary status, isn’t quite appropriate for such a meeting, wouldn’t you say?"

The crowd nodded slightly.

There was a touch of pride in their eyes.

Xiao Zheng had indeed made a splash a few times at Qianqiu Group, but that didn’t necessarily mean he had exceptional business acumen. These individuals were confident in their own expertise and did not think Xiao Zheng had the right to chime in.

They were polite in their speech because of Xiao Zheng’s background, but the arrogance in the depths of their eyes was unmistakably evident.

"Hehe, no need for concerns," Leng Ruobing interjected at that moment with a slight smile, "The company’s development strategy that I’ve laid out has been done in collaboration with Xiao Zheng. He is well-versed in this area and fully qualified to speak here. Moreover, I have already appointed him as the project’s chief planner!"

At these words, the crowd’s frown deepened.

"President, I feel... this isn’t quite proper?" one executive frowned at Xiao Zheng and then said gravely, "The company’s future is a matter of great significance, and now it’s being entrusted to a mere sales department employee. This borders on the absurd! Has our company’s personnel system completely lost its function?"

In any big company, taking up a key position is not something that can be done capriciously; there are rules to follow.

Xiao Zheng had neither climbed the ranks within Qianqiu Group nor boasted an extraordinary work history, and yet he had been suddenly promoted by Leng Ruobing, which was bound to cause dissatisfaction.

"Moreover, such a decision could have endless repercussions," another executive also said coldly, "President Leng, if you want to place a few of your confidantes in the company later on, we have no objections. As President, you have every right to do so, but appointing a confidante with no proven track record to a crucial position related to the company’s future development? Isn’t that a bit autocratic? This could bring disaster upon our company!"

"Or are you saying, President Leng, that you wish to consolidate all control within the company into your hands, and Xiao Zheng is just the first puppet you are putting forward?"

This statement caused a stir in the room.

The words were rather alarming. Qianqiu Group, being a large conglomerate, had many directors. The company’s power was jointly controlled by these directors. Leng Ruobing was the one they had put forward to govern.

To draw an analogy, if these directors were emperors of ancient times, then the president was the prime minister beneath the emperor.

The prime minister would govern the country, while the emperors listened to the state affairs behind the curtains.

Of course, there were differences.

The Leng Family, backing Leng Ruobing, was indeed the largest director of Qianqiu Group.

And now the prime minister seemed to be making a power grab, which was bound to alarm these emperors.

Even Leng Ruobing’s expression changed as she sharply admonished, "Zhang Ruoting, mind your language!"

If such an idea were to take hold among the people, it could greatly threaten her current position.

Zhang Ruoting just smiled faintly, saying, "I am but stating the plain truth."

Zhang Ruoting.

He was a very powerful director within Qianqiu Group and also held a significant position.

He harbored faint ambitions of taking over Leng Ruobing’s current position, which was why he spoke so bluntly at this meeting.

"As the company’s president, appointing someone is within my rights," Leng Ruobing said, giving Zhang Ruoting a penetrating look before scanning the room with her gaze, speaking calmly.

The many executives had a look of dissent in their eyes, ready to speak, but Leng Ruobing raised her hand to silence them and continued, "However, I do not use people without good reason."

"Although Xiao Zheng does not have a history to prove his strength, I dare to guarantee with my position as president that he indeed has the capability to do well in managing this project."

"Such a significant matter is not to be decided lightly, of course. We must first test the waters to see the actual results and how it performs in the market."

"Therefore, please give me three months. During these three months, the company will dedicate resources to fully support Xiao Zheng, and then we shall see the outcome."

"What do you say?"

The crowd listened and fell silent, deep in thought.

Zhang Ruoting, however, showed a trace of mocking amusement in his eyes, thinking, "It seems that all women are the same after all; completely devoid of intelligence once they’re charmed by a pretty face. Hmph, if this project fails, your prestige in the company will take a massive hit, and then I can successfully take over."

With that in mind, Zhang Ruoting laughed and said, "Since the president has already thought everything through so thoroughly, what reason do we have to disagree? I consent."

Seeing Zhang Ruoting state his position, the others hesitated no further and expressed their agreement one after another. Among these directors, many were Leng Ruobing’s loyal supporters, so naturally, they had no issue with the matter.

As for Xiao Zheng, he looked at Leng Ruobing somewhat surprised.

"I didn’t expect this young woman to trust me so much," he thought with a chuckle.

"Well then, since you’re willing to gamble on such an important matter with me, I shall grant your company an incredible success," Xiao Zheng decided internally.

The revered Evil God, undertaking a mere project, would naturally find it a piece of cake.
