Chapter 1459: Ice and Fire

Chen Ran is a veteran of the company and a high-level executive. Without conclusive evidence, it would be troublesome to move him.

Do it in Zhang Shaoyang's style, just fire him without giving any reason, and let him know what he thinks and says.

But doing this would easily arouse dissatisfaction from others, and it would be better to be gentler, so this kind of thing was always left to Lu Xiaoqiang.

Lu Xiaoqiang does have this ability, even if he shoots someone, there will be no adverse effects.

This is the result of different people's styles of doing things.

When Lu Xiaoqiang returned to the office, he had already thought of a countermeasure and called Chen Ran to come over.

Chen Ran knocked on the vice president's door with a happy face. He was really happy that such an important project in Yanjing was entrusted to him. The meaning of Mr. Zhang and Mr. Lu was obvious. After so many years, they finally had hope.

"Mr. Lu!" Chen Ran said politely.

"sit down!"

Lu Xiaoqiang walked out of his desk, poured him a cup of tea himself, and placed a box of soft drinks.

Chen Ran was flattered and quickly thanked him.

There was no expression on Lu Xiaoqiang's face. He sat behind the desk again and didn't say anything. He seemed a little embarrassed.

Chen Ran's heart beat. Logically speaking, it should be a good thing, but looking at Mr. Lu's appearance, it didn't seem to be a good thing.

Although I was suspicious, I didn't dare to ask anything.

Lu Xiaoqiang took a few puffs of cigarette, impatiently put half of the cigarette in the ashtray, looked at Chen Ran and said, "Do you believe me?"

The unclear words confused Chen Ran, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

But he was just stunned for a moment, and Chen Ran nodded immediately, "Mr. Lu, of course I believe you."

Lu Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "What if you compete with the chairman? Who do you trust more?"

Chen Ran was a little confused by the question just now. When this question came out, he was immediately dumbfounded.

There is a first-in-command and a second-in-command, and the relationship between them is very good. Why do you ask this?

After thinking for a while, Chen Ran decided to take a gamble, "Mr. Lu, since you asked, let me tell you straight away, you are the one I respect the most in the entire company, and you are the one I trust the most!"

If this issue involves taking sides, Chen Ran decided to temporarily side with Lu Xiaoqiang, because he has been following Chen Ran for so long and has not been promoted, so he has always had some opinions in his heart.

Lu Xiaoqiang's expression suddenly became solemn, "I'm not kidding!"

Chen Ran said solemnly: "Mr. Lu, how dare I joke with you?"

Lu Xiaoqiang lit the cigarette again, took a few puffs slowly, and began to talk about the key points.

"The chairman suspected that you were the traitor in the treasure chest. Wrong. To be precise, he concluded that you were the traitor there, but there was no evidence, so he asked me to fire you!"

Chen Ran's mind was buzzing, and he stood up suddenly and stammered: "Lu...Mr. Lu, no...I'm not a traitor! How...how can I become a traitor?"

Lu Xiaoqiang raised his eyebrows and said, "Keep your voice down!"

Chen Ran sat down on the sofa and looked at Lu Xiaoqiang with pleading eyes, "Mr. Lu, you...you have to make the decision for me!"

Lu Xiaoqiang said: "If you believe my words, just follow my arrangements!"

At this time, what other opinions can Chen Ran have? He immediately said: "Mr. Lu, tell me what to do, I will listen to you!"

Lu Xiaoqiang said angrily: "Smoke a cigarette and drink some water first to stabilize your mood."

Chen Ran lit the cigarette with trembling hands and took a few puffs. After smoking one, his mood improved, but in the end he only had a confused look on his face.

I thought something good would happen, but I didn't expect such a bad thing to happen. This was a disaster falling from the sky.

Lu Xiaoqiang said: "To be honest, there is indeed a traitor in the company, but I don't believe it is you. I am more inclined to think that Jiang Tao is the traitor, but the chairman has already said it is you, and there is nothing I can do."

"So, you leave the company first, and leave the rest to me. I will find out the traitor and clear your grievances. When you return to the company, I promise to arrange a suitable position for you."

"But remember, don't make the matter a big deal, let alone tell others, otherwise no one can help you."

Chen Ran smoked silently, thinking carefully and not in a hurry to express his position.

In fact, he doesn't believe anyone. After working in the workplace for so many years, the leaders' promises are just bullshit. They say nice things when you need them and throw them aside when you don't. Those people don't have any good things.

But if there was a choice between Chen Ran and Lu Xiaoqiang, as he said before, he would definitely choose Lu Xiaoqiang, not because of how good he is, but because Chen Ran is too useless.

More importantly, if you make a big deal out of it and get no good results, you will not only lose this slim opportunity, but you will also incur pressure from the company, which will have an impact on your future employment.

After thinking about it, Chen Ran nodded and said, "Mr. Lu, I will do as you say."

Lu Xiaoqiang snorted: "It seems you don't believe me?"

Chen Ran quickly put on a smile and said, "How can I? I believe you!"

This kind of insincere laughter is simply uglier than crying.

Lu Xiaoqiang said: "Chen Ran, actually we don't have much contact. It's normal for you not to believe me. I don't praise Haikou. You give me more than half a year, until next summer at the latest. If I don't clear your name, what do you think?" You can make trouble as much as you want, you can play as much as you want, and you can beat me and scold me when the time comes.”

Chen Ran quickly stood up and apologized: "Mr. Lu, I am a villain. I'm sorry. I know this matter has nothing to do with you. No matter whether it succeeds or not, can I return to the company? I appreciate Mr. Lu's great kindness." Never forget."

Lv Xiaoqiang said: "I don't like to hear nice words, I like to see actual actions. You write a resignation letter first and go to the personnel department to handle the formalities. We'll see what happens later."

Chen Ran walked out weakly. He was in high spirits when he came, but he was in despair when he left.

Zhang Xiaobai sent a WeChat message to Zhang Shaoyang.

"It's done!"

"How did you do it? Are there any sequelae?"

"There won't be any sequelae. Chen Ran took the initiative to resign. It has nothing to do with us."

"Great! You have so many ways!"

"Thanks to the chairman for praising you."

Zhang Shaoyang didn't reply to the message. Lu Xiaoqiang pulled the corners of his mouth and raised them unconsciously.

These things have been done really well recently.

More importantly, everything is under control.

A woman suddenly appeared in his mind. Chen Ran immediately stopped smiling and picked up his phone to make a call.

"You are so brave. You dare to contact me with this number. Is your phone broken?" Fu Xue sneered.

"I can't hide anything from you. Yes, I smashed the phone into pieces." Lu Xiaoqiang said.

"You think you're a steamroller, and you smashed it into pieces." Fu Xue said.

"When will you see me?" Lu Xiaoqiang asked.

"Five days later, at the same place!" Fu Xue replied.

Lu Xiaoqiang sighed and said softly: "It won't take long, just hold on!"

Fu Xue hung up the phone.
