Chapter 1175: What Right
Leng Qirui looked up. “Vice President Leng, I hope that you can refer to me as Chairman in the company. This is the last time I’ll personally bring up this issue. If you still can’t learn from your mistakes, then I can only ask our CEO to train you personally. Once you understand basic etiquette, then you can finally work for the company again.”
Leng Jinchen, “…”
Without Leng Jinjie’s help nor any of the company’s shares, Leng Jinchen could only swallow her anger.
After taking a deep breath, she expressed what she wanted to say.
“Chairman.” Leng Jinchen started in a business-like tone, “The staff holding the top and middle management positions are mostly collateral relatives of the Leng family. Our Leng Group was able to expand our business so much and become a second-tier wealthy family in Camino because we, the Leng family, worked together.
“Don’t you think it’s a little inappropriate for you to suddenly make a stranger the CEO of the company? You should know that your grandfather… the old chairman has always shouldered the responsibility of being both the chairman and CEO of the company. Only then will he be able to manage the company properly. He’s an outsider. Before we discuss whether he’s actually competent, making people trust him is already an unknown. Moreover, you let an outsider be the CEO, but your families remain in the middle management or upper management of our other branch companies. This will only disappoint everyone. Let me ask you this—if everyone’s disappointed, how are they supposed to work? Thus, I’m suggesting—of course, this is per the collective wishes of all leaders in the upper management of the company—that Luo Cheng resigns from his position as CEO because we’ll never acknowledge him as the CEO.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Leng Qirui gave Leng Jinchen a piercing glance. All of a sudden, Leng Jinchen felt a chill surging up her spine.
This was the first time Leng Jinchen took his nephew seriously.
Internally, she had always thought that this nephew of hers was a useless lump of mud that would not stick to the wall even when thrown. However, when did the lump of mud start having such a piercing gaze?
“Is everyone in agreement with Leng Jinchen and determined not to acknowledge CEO Luo’s existence?”
“Vice President Leng is right. Luo Cheng is an outsider after all. What right does an outsider have to lead all of us from the Leng family’s branches? Although I’ve already sold my shares to Ye Hai, I’m still the vice president of Green City Group under Leng Group. I’m in charge of all the real estate businesses in Leng Group. I’ve been in Leng Group for 32 years. Do you expect me, a senior member of the company, to listen to a 40-year-old young man? To put it bluntly, what right does he have to lead us?”
Everyone else in the upper and middle management nodded in agreement.
They were all relatives of the Leng family or had relations.h.i.+ps of similar nature. They started from the bottom and slowly gained the old chairman’s trust until they climbed to where they were today.
Of course, they were more than willing to listen to the old chairman. After all, most of these people were the old chairman’s trusted aides. Otherwise, they would not have become people with great power.
Although Leng Qirui was the old chairman’s grandson, he was a hopeless case. He held the Leng Group’s lifeline in his hands, but no one believed that he could manage the company well.
In fact, everyone present felt that if Leng Qirui continued to toy with Leng Group, it would eventually close down.
