After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 308 Elected as Deputy Director
Friday, weekly meeting.

Zhou Haoran went to work early in the morning.

They discovered that Jono had already arrived.

"Come so early?"

Zhou Haoran closed the door to the private office, walked over, and stroked her hair.

Qiao Nuo raised her head and said with a grin, "Today is a big day!"

"No matter how big or small the matter is, from now on, the sales department will be our territory!"

Zhou Haoran lazily went to sit down behind another desk.

There are two desks here.

From now on, it will belong to the two of them, master and disciple.

Zhou Haoran looked around the office and said, "Next week, go to Director Meng to hand over the sales department's slush fund. We've provided the leaders with two cars and given out a large bonus at the end of the year. I estimate there's still six or seven hundred thousand in the slush fund. After we get it, we'll get a desktop computer here first."

Jono suggested, "It would be best to put another safe here, so I can keep my mail."

"Alright, the secret stash is yours to manage. You decide what to buy!"

Zhou Haoran spoke with great energy.

The sales department's slush fund belongs to all the sales staff in the department.

This is only in name.

In reality, whoever controls the distribution power owns the slush fund.

Before this, Meng Xuemin was the sales manager, and he controlled the slush fund. After sales performance improved, he first bought a car for Zhan Yushan, and later bought one for himself.

From now on, the right to allocate this resources will belong to Zhou Haoran and his apprentice Qiao Nuo.

As long as you find a good name and prepare the invoice properly.

Buy whatever you want!
Qiao Nuo made a mark on the note with an invisible pen, and said without looking up, "Master, so many new people have come, and they've never seen your power before. What if you don't get elected if everyone votes?"

"If we can't be selected, we'll force it and let these newcomers learn the rules of the sales department."

Zhou Haoran wouldn't start a vote for no reason.

Qiao Nuo said with a grin, "Anyway, this will be our territory from now on."

"Correct!"

Zhou Haoran took out his laptop and began planning how to write his thesis.

He writes papers very quickly.

For him, new ideas and approaches that others struggle to come up with are simply a matter of typing away common technical theories. This is especially true in the internet field, where the technological gap is enormous.

An hour later, everyone had arrived.

The sales department's weekly meeting begins.

This was the first weekly meeting chaired by the new sales director, Liu Zebin.

You could tell he was somewhat nervous.

Fortunately, he had been a team leader for many years.

With all the troublemakers gone and no one causing trouble, he can more easily take control of the situation.

The sales department currently has only 16 people and is still recruiting.

Some newly hired salespeople are very cautious.

They were afraid that during the probationary period, they might offend the newly appointed sales manager and be punished for not acting as a new leader.

Little did Liu Zebin know that this was exactly what he was worried about.

They were afraid that the powerful figure behind them would use them as a scapegoat to establish his authority.

Just in case, he had to make sure the voting went well!

He recited his general policy of maintaining the status quo after taking office, and then it was time to nominate and select candidates for deputy director.

"Last year, Comrade Zhou Haoran achieved a series of outstanding results for the sales department and is our star salesperson. My suggestion is to invite him to serve as the deputy director of our department."

Liu Zebin was worried that some new recruits might not know the rules and vote randomly.

So let's make things clear.

"Of course, this is just my personal suggestion," Liu Zebin said, not wanting to be too certain. "To ensure fairness and impartiality in the selection of the deputy director, we will conduct an anonymous vote. You can vote for anyone, even yourself. Whoever receives the most votes and more than half will be the deputy director of the sales department!"

The scene became somewhat agitated.

"Quiet!"

Liu Zebin looked serious.

It looks very imposing.

"Vote seriously and be responsible for yourself and your company. Although this is an anonymous vote, it must still comply with our sales department's principles. We need to elect a credible and influential deputy director who can lead everyone to good development!"

Liu Zebin made a further statement.

That's when they asked Jono to hand out notes to everyone.

Just write down the name of your preferred deputy director candidate.

Zhou Haoran also received a slip of paper and, without any modesty, wrote down his name.

Liu Zebin was the most nervous one at that moment.

This is a test for him.

If you can't even do this simple thing well or control the situation, you might be considered to have poor management skills and could lose your position.

"When voting, you must be serious and attentive! You must make a careful decision and ensure it conforms to organizational principles!"

Liu Zebin repeatedly reiterated this.

It's practically a demand that everyone vote for Zhou Haoran.

And the results were indeed evident.

A single round of voting.

The selection of the deputy director was successfully completed.

Zhou Haoran was successfully elected as the deputy director of the sales department with 10 votes.

Liu Zebin let out a long sigh of relief. The smile on his face was as if he had achieved a major victory.

Zhou Haoran, on the other hand, was quite casual. He stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you all for your trust. This deputy director position is really just symbolic. For any specific work, you still need to report to Director Liu. I hope that under Director Liu's leadership, our sales department can achieve even greater success this year!"

After the routine meeting.

Jono took the voting slip and returned to his office.

Take out the ultraviolet light and shine it on.

The marks then appeared.

On the front were the names written by the salespeople in anonymous voting; on the back were marks made by Jono with an invisible pen, having already written the names on each slip of paper.

It's said to be anonymous, but it's not anonymous at all.

It's obvious who voted for whom!
The sales department currently has 16 people, excluding Liu Zebin, the sales director. Zhou Haoran received 10 votes, while 6 people did not vote for him.

Who didn't choose?
It's highly likely that he's a veteran employee in the sales department.

Liu Zebin had already made his point clear, so the new sales staff were all cautious and generally didn't dare to confront him directly. They would usually vote according to his suggestion.

A seasoned veteran is different.

Everyone has their own ideas.

Keep your receipt handy, and you'll understand at a glance!
Of the 10 votes Zhou Haoran received, 5 were from newcomers and 5 were from veterans, namely Zhou Haoran, Qiao Nuo, Ye Hongyun, Zhu Zhuo, and Liu Chi.

Other old acquaintances such as Wang Jun, Deng Gang, and Wu Lue did not vote for Zhou Haoran!

"That Wu Lue is really shameless, he even voted for himself!"

Jono saw the result and was somewhat indignant.

“That’s not important. What’s important is that he doesn’t obey orders.”

Zhou Haoran cleared his throat.

Because he also voted for himself.

Qiao Nuo said angrily, "Master, you can only know a person's face but not their heart. Take Wang Jun for example. He and you were in the same group, but he didn't vote for you when it came to voting."

Zhou Haoran said dismissively, "I never thought highly of him anyway."

"So what do we do now?" Qiao Nuo asked, somewhat troubled. "Besides the two of us, the only people we can vote for are Ye Hongyun, Zhu Zhuo, and Liu Chi. But the team leader needs to nominate four people, and I don't want to be the team leader."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "It's simple. Ye Hongyun will be the leader of Group 1, Zhu Zhuo will be the leader of Group 2, Liu Chi will be the leader of Group 3, and Liu Zebin, as the sales director, will also serve as a sales team leader."

"Ah? Is this okay?"

Qiao Nuo covered her mouth and chuckled.

Zhou Haoran remained calm and composed. "Write down the list and give it to Director Liu. To achieve results, we must appoint people based on merit; to consolidate power, we must appoint people based on personal connections. The sales department is our territory, so this is settled!"

……

"Master! Master!" Hu Xiaochen bumped into Zhou Haoran by the elevator, her eyes sparkling with affection, and said while standing on tiptoe, "Kiss! Kiss!"

"How can we kiss like that? There are people coming and going."

Zhou Haoran thought she was being ridiculous.

Sure enough, when I turned around, I saw Ye Hongyun walking towards me from a distance.

Hu Xiaochen also caught a glimpse of it and said unhappily, "Then you can come find me tonight."

"Okay, I'll come over tonight."

Zhou Haoran had no choice but to agree.

Since he shared a bedroom with her during his trip to the United States and developed a closer relationship with her, she has become somewhat addicted to it, always clinging to him and wanting kisses.

Now, I can kiss and touch her freely, just waiting for her to be fully prepared and complete the important life transformation from a girl to a young woman.

Hu Xiaochen was satisfied, and only then did he adopt a cold and aloof attitude.

She raised her chin, like a proud white swan.

Zhou Haoran waved from afar, "Brother Ye!"

Ye Hongyun said, "Thank you! Thank you!"

"Huh? What are you thanking me for?"

"Director Liu just told me privately that I'm going to be the team leader. As soon as I heard that, I knew it couldn't have been him who arranged it; it must have been you."

How did you guess that?

Zhou Haoran thought to himself that this person was quite sensible.

Ye Hongyun laughed and said, "I don't have much contact with Director Liu, and my performance isn't that great. If he wants to promote a team leader, why would it be me? Only you would think of me when there's such a good thing."

Zhou Haoran said in a low voice, "Brother Ye, you better do a good job and get some results quickly. I'm not sure if Liu Zebin can handle this sales manager position. If he's not suitable, I'll make you the sales manager in the future."

"what?"

Ye Hongyun was taken aback.

It wasn't his arrangements that surprised me, but his power.

"You..." Ye Hongyun finally realized what was going on, narrowed his eyes, and slowly said, "I was quite puzzled just now, but now I see!"

"What's weird?"

Zhou Haoran didn't understand.

Ye Hongyun said, "Just now, Director Liu called me, Zhu Zhuo, Liu Chi and I over and said he would nominate the three of us to be sales team leaders. The process will be completed next week and we can officially take office. I don't understand yet, he is the leader of the fourth team, but not a single member of the fourth team has been promoted."

Deng Gang and Wu Lue, the two veteran salespeople who didn't vote for Zhou Haoran, were both from Group 4.

If someone is disloyal and alienated, they will naturally not be given important responsibilities.

Zhou Haoran nodded, "The most suitable person is definitely the team leader."

Ye Hongyun said with a hint of excitement, "Did you draft the list of team leaders?"

Zhou Haoran smiled.

I won't say more.

Ye Hongyun gave a thumbs up, "Awesome! Alright, from now on I'll follow you! Hehe, I knew it, Director Meng got promoted, this sales department should have been handed over to you anyway. What does that Liu Zebin have that can't compare to you?"
