According to Pan Jiuhu's understanding, Wei Zheng is even more supported by the middle management of the company.
Coupled with the support of the Chu family and the Wei family, even the Bai family and the Kuang family stood behind Bai Zhuo.
However, Bai Zhuo was highly appreciated by the older generation back then, which added a few variables.
If there really was a fight back then, Wei Zheng definitely had a great chance of winning!
Of course, according to Pan Jiuhu's guess, there may be another reason why Wei Zheng retired that year, and that was that there was no peace abroad.
Some organizations that are considered competitors are ready to take action and have touched the bottom line more than once!
Especially in the Northeast at that time, there were several turmoils, and only Wei Zheng himself could turn the tide.
If there is a quarrel between the two, the company will definitely fall into chaos.
It is precisely because of this that Wei Zheng chose to retreat bravely, thus preserving the company's strength.
Although Wei Zheng lost, in Pan Jiuhu's eyes, he was a real man!
Otherwise, the company's strength will be reduced by at least 30%!
Within the entire company, not only Pan Jiuhu, but also all the centrists who knew the truth back then, whenever Wei Zheng was mentioned, everyone would give a thumbs up!
It is precisely for this reason that the calls for Zhao Dong to take over are so high.
On the one hand, he is Bai Zhuo's apprentice, both his teacher and his father.
On the other hand, he is Wei Zheng's godson.
Coupled with the fact that Zhao Dong has inherited the mantle left by his senior brother, the various factions in the company have reached a perfect balance.
Zhao Dong ascends to the throne, which can best balance all parties, and is also an outcome acceptable to all parties!
If someone else were to take the position, it would definitely cause quite a stir!
When something happened to Zhao Dong, he chose to retire. Otherwise, no one would have dared to do anything to him!
Of course, these are all things for later.
Pan Jiuhu closed the door with his front foot and left with Zhao Dong with his back foot.
Outside Zheng Xiyun's room, Pan Jiuhu stopped again.
In the room, Zheng Xiyun took out a thick portfolio and handed it directly to Zhao Dong.
Zhao Dong asked in surprise, "Godmother, what does this mean?"
Zheng Xiyun explained, "When you returned to Tianzhou, I sent someone to register a private equity company there, and the beneficiary was your name."
"Originally, I wanted to wait until you figured it out in the future and leave it to you to rely on, but then I changed my mind!"
Zhao Dong teased, "Godmother, are you feeling distressed?"
Zheng Xiyun raised her hand to strike, "You bastard!"
"You think I don't know your virtue? I have never liked doing business. If I really gave you the shares, it would be a waste."
"Originally, I wanted to find a professional manager to help you manage it secretly, and then hand over the company to you when the opportunity is right."
"Later I discovered that the goddaughter-in-law you found for me was not an easy one!"
Speaking of this, Zheng Xiyun's eyes lit up obviously, "Sophie, right?"
"I know something about this kid. Although he comes from a merchant family, he has a good nature and is very smart."
"The most important thing is that she is very talented in business!"
"If this company gives it to you, it will be a waste of money."
"But if you give it to Sophie, it will be even more powerful and she can help you better!"
"Originally, I thought you would bring her here this time, but I happened to meet her too. By the way, I will personally hand over these shares to her."
"Since she didn't come, you can just hand it over for me."
"Tell her that in addition to the Zhao family, she also has a mother-in-law in the Northeast. If she encounters any trouble, she can come to the Northeast to find me!"
"I, Zheng Xiyun, have no other abilities. If I want to use money, it only takes one word!"
Zhao Dong gave a thumbs up, "Godmother, you are so domineering!"
"I thank you for your kindness on behalf of Xiaofei, but you may not know her temper. Sometimes even I don't dare to make the decision for her."
"Why don't you wait until she comes next time and give it to her yourself?"
Zheng Xiyun held Zhao Dong's ear, "You brat, outsiders said that Zhao Dong had a wife and forgot about his mother, and became a rake of ears. I didn't believe it at the time."
"I really didn't expect that your kid is better than his master, so how come he's not even as good as your godfather?"
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, "Godmother, are you praising me?"
Zheng Xiyun rolled her eyes angrily, "Praising you? I'm praising my goddaughter-in-law, whom I haven't met yet, for being able to control this brat like you so well!"
"If you ask me, Chu Wei is too soft-hearted. If she could be ruthless back then, she would not care about the status of those senior brothers."
"I'll just fly to Tianzhou to beat up the mandarin ducks and snatch you away from that doctor. What's the matter with the girl from the Su family?"
"It's fine now. I made a wedding dress for someone else in vain!"
Seemingly knowing that this topic was inappropriate, Zheng Xiyun stopped in time and said, "Okay, just pass it on for me and say it's my intention. I believe she will accept it."
"If she really doesn't want it, I will never force it!"
Zhao Dong was full of surprise, "Godmother, you don't know her, how can you be so sure that she will accept her?"
Zheng Xiyun narrowed her eyes, "Although I don't know Sophie, I have known her mother for a long time!"
Before Zhao Dong could speak, Zheng Xiyun interrupted in advance, "I know what you want to ask. You are not qualified to know what happened back then."
"Remember, Sophie is a poor child, don't let her down!"
"Okay, dinner is ready, grandma is still waiting for you, go and eat!"
"Besides, I also know a little bit about the purpose of your coming to Northeast China. If you need help, just tell me."
"All of Godmother's resources in the Northeast are available to you!"
Zhao Dong didn't say anything, but he was extremely moved in his heart.
Although my godmother has a relatively straightforward personality, she never hides anything she has to say.
An investment company worth one billion yuan will be given to the daughter-in-law if it is given to her?
There are probably not many such generous mother-in-laws in the country!
In the dining room, the Wei family had two tables in total.
One table is for the elders, and the other table is for the women and juniors.
There are some feudal habits, which means that when Zhao Dong comes, if other guests come, the Zhao family's female family members will even go to the inner hall to avoid taboos.
At the dinner table, Grandma Wei sat at the head table, Wei Zheng accompanied his mother, and Zhao Dong was the only junior qualified to sit at the head table.
During the first half of the trip, while chatting while eating, Grandma Wei reminded Zhao Dong to eat more meat from time to time.
Grandma Wei was in a good mood today. She not only drank a small bottle of white wine, but also ate half a bowl of rice.
Perhaps because of his age, or perhaps because he was aware of his presence, the younger generation couldn't let go and got off the table after dinner.
Wei Zheng and Zhao Dong exchanged cups. During this period, Wei Xiaozheng also brought several younger members of the clan over to toast. By the time dinner was finished, it was already an hour later.
Wei Zheng also knew that a group of juniors had other arrangements, so he did not drag Zhao Dong to reminisce about old times.
When all the elders were walking, Wei Xiaozheng sneaked over and said, "Brother Dong, how are you? Didn't you have enough to eat tonight?"
"Let's go, I'll take you to a nice place to relax!"
