92: Chapter 91 Justice Will Prevail, Promotion
"What are you arguing about? Aren't you supposed to be working?"
An abrupt voice came from behind the crowd. Everyone turned around, their faces showing shock, and one by one, they lowered their heads and quickly dispersed.
Manager had been furious, ready to make an example of someone and kick Chen An out.
However, when he saw the person who had arrived, his pupils constricted, and a look of fear clearly flashed across his face.
"Manager Wang, why are you here?"
He was terrified. This was the General Manager who oversaw the sales offices from the headquarters; he had never heard of him personally visiting a sales center.
Usually, whenever there were policy-related orders, his assistant would come instead.
This was a genuine high-level executive of the group.
Manager felt a bit uneasy, but the thought quickly vanished.
A big shot whom he couldn't even meet, would he really rush to the store to hold someone accountable just because of a complaint call?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
He quickly squeezed out a flattering smile and scurried over.
"Um, are you Manager Wang from the group?"
As it turned out, the man didn't even look at him and walked straight to Chen An's side.
When he brushed past Lin Feng, he glanced at him, and their eyes met.
Manager Wang revealed a kind smile and gave Lin Feng a very subtle nod and smile.
"Hello, my name is Wang Guomin, and I am the General Manager of the Sales Department of the Wansheng Group Real Estate Division."
Chen An swallowed hard. He looked very nervous, but he still gathered the courage to reach out and shake the other person's hand.
This scene stunned all the other employees in the sales center.
Manager felt ice-cold all over, his limbs stiffened, and his mind went buzzing blank.
How could a big shot like Wang Guomin come to the sales center and shake hands with Chen An?
No, it wasn't right; the two of them couldn't possibly have any connection.
Could it be that the complaint call from earlier had worked?
But that didn't explain it; he shouldn't need to come personally to handle an internal report.
Could Chen An have some background, or was he a relative of some major shareholder on the board?
Manager thought about it, but that didn't seem reliable either.
The statuses of the two were too disparate; they couldn't possibly have any intersection.
Stay calm, don't panic, there must be something else.
The kid's heart was already in a mess, and he stood there at a loss.
"Xiao Chen, you don't need to be nervous. We received your complaint call, and the higher-ups take it very seriously."
"Some management personnel have used their authority to facilitate their own work, harming the interests of lower-level employees. We will not sit idly by."
"Manager... Manager Wang, are... are you really here to stand up for me?"
After Chen An calmed down, he also found it incredible.
He hadn't expected that the big boss of the department would come personally to handle an internal complaint.
It seemed impossible for him to have such influence.
However, he didn't attribute it to Lin Feng; if Lin Feng really wanted to use connections to buy a house, he wouldn't have come to him.
"Hehe, Xiao Chen, don't be afraid, I will handle this for you."
"There aren't many employees as upright as you in the company nowadays. Some people like to use their power to pressure others, using their position as leaders to bully people."
"Don't they know who gave them their status in the first place?"
Wang Guomin turned around, his gaze cold as he looked at Manager.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
"Manager Wang, what do you mean?"
He couldn't even speak clearly, trembling uncontrollably.
"I heard that you can represent the company now?"
"What kind of big client made you force other clients to give up their houses?"
Manager swallowed hard and said with a crying tone, "I... I was also thinking about the company."
"I... I..."
"What do you mean 'I'? It was your own friend who wanted to buy the house, right?"
How could a major client of the company possibly look for someone like this to buy a house?
If they wanted to pull strings, they would at least find someone at Wang Guomin's level; they wouldn't look for Manager.
It was nothing more than some boss with a bit of money entrusting him to secure the best-positioned house at the lowest price.
It just so happened that he ran into Lin Feng, who was also coming to buy a house, and that's how this scene unfolded.
"I... I..."
"Manager, you don't need to come in tomorrow. The company will compensate you according to the contract. We don't need parasites like you."
Manager's mind exploded with a boom, and he collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning.
"No... please don't. I have elderly parents and young children to support. Manager Wang, please give me another chance, I beg you."
"I promise I won't make this mistake again. I'll change, I'll change."
Wang Guomin looked at him coldly, not saying a word.
This kind of workplace cancer wasn't begging for mercy because he felt he was wrong, but because he knew he was about to be fired and was afraid.
If this incident hadn't occurred, Manager would indeed have been fine, at most receiving a reprimand.
Unfortunately, he had provoked someone he shouldn't have.
"Go on, pack your things. Let's keep things dignified for everyone."
"Manager Wang, you should at least give me a chance to change. And even if you fire me, I need to hand over my position to someone."
"No need. There's no need for a handover. Just leave."
"Security, take him away."
Half an hour ago, he was the person with the highest authority here, but now he was being dragged out by two security guards like a dead dog.
"Xiao Chen, rest assured, the company will stand up for the grievances you've suffered."
"Yes, I knew it. This is China; how could it be impossible to reason?"
"Justice prevails."
He looked excited; the sense of justice in his heart had been upheld, and he was in a very good mood.
Lin Feng also felt happy for him.
Although society is dangerous, he had experienced too little of it.
If that fire in his heart were extinguished at this point, it would be easy for him to be discouraged and fail to recover.
The path ahead can only be walked by himself; this was all Lin Feng could do to help.
"Ahem, Xiao Chen, right?"
"Yes, my name is Chen An."
"Very good. You have principles. How long have you been employed here?"
"About two years."
"How many houses have you sold?"
"It's not much for two years; I've sold six."
A look of surprise flashed in Wang Guomin's eyes. Six houses in two years was already quite good for a newcomer.
"Good, not bad. How about this: you will temporarily be the store Manager of this sales center, replacing Manager's position."
"Ah... this... this... me as the store Manager?"
"Well, are you unwilling?"
"No, no, no, I... I am willing, but... but do I deserve this?"
"Alright, young man, have some confidence. I believe in you."
Wang Guomin glanced at Lin Feng, gave a kind smile and a nod, then walked toward the door.
From beginning to end, he did not show any signs of knowing Lin Feng, which was also what Wang Jun had instructed him to do before he came.
As for the promotion, even Lin Feng hadn't expected it.
Because of what was said on the phone, Wang Jun firmly believed that Chen An was a talent, so he promoted him in advance; in the future, he could also become one of his trusted aides.
"Congratulations."
"This... I didn't expect this either."
"This is what your sense of justice has earned you. Now we can go sign the contract."
"Oh... right, right, right. I almost forgot about that. Mr. Lin, please..."
Watching Xiao Chen take Lin Feng and Tian Xue to sign the contract, the group of employees was dumbfounded.
This was just too magical. In less than an hour, Chen An had actually become the person in charge here.
These employees were all ordinary people, and their hearts gradually began to burn with hope.
They all solidified one belief in their hearts: as long as one has principles, everyone has a day to get ahead.
