Chapter 347 - My Duty, Loyalty And Priority Is To Serve President Feng.
At Zheng Industries, things were a lot better than it was before. To solve the raising voices and forces to crack a deal with a country's biggest business organization about which none has doubts, Zheng Wenting has worked really hard in the past few weeks. He has pulled all his thoughts to make it possible.
The Feng Internationals!
Though the deal cracked was not that profitable but still getting the name of Fengs attached, soon all the losses will be paid off with the double amount of profit and then he would ask back what he had lost. He needed time and an opportunity to make people forget about the useless investment he made to support Sying and this bait was perfect to make the shareholders come back in his support.
Zheng Wenting was panegyrizing his own capabilities for getting the contract from the mighty Fengs. It was not an easy say. He has really worked hard by himself on that project file, modifying all the details again and again on the guidance of Mr Tang Daozhi, Supervisor General of Feng Internationals.
But it was his hard work that paid off at the end of the day. Now all the praises and good words around was his to enjoy. His ego was, again and again, getting boosted up hearing the people around him.
"Mr Zheng, we knew you would do something in our benefit. But never thought that your doing will be this great."
"Yes, yes, CEO Zheng! Now with this contract, our share price will definitely rise and so will the profits. You really brought a big deal for us to cherish"
"Definitely! The profits will definitely rise" One of the shareholders exclaimed in excitement and then joyfully turned to look back at Wenting and asked, "So what percentage did CEO Zheng expect in the first quarter".
Zheng Wenting's face instantly paled as his moment before confident eyes wavered. "That …" he was about to answer but right at the moment when he was about to say, a voice interrupted from behind. "Profits should always be left for future analysis. With the name of Feng Internationals connected, do you think your Zheng Industries will ever be at loss?"
Everyone's attention instantly went to focus on the man who has come up with an amiable smile on his face. Dressed in a well-fitted suit, he was giving an image of a clean look.
Zheng Wenting lips curled to give a smile of relief as he addressed all formally and politely. "Ah! Mr Tang, you are here. I was not expecting you to see it here, especially on the weekend".
Greeting him, he turned a little towards his people behind and introduced, "Gentleman, this is Mr Tang Daozhi, the Supervisor General from Feng Internationals. The praise of getting this contract partially contributed to this great man's help. If it had not been him then maybe we would have not been able to understand what a great company like Feng International has in its requisites".
Zheng Wenting said with a smug. It was clearly written on his facial expressions that he was proud to build such a great connection without anyone's help. And his show of pride did not go waste as the people around him believed the same.
In Chiboa, Fengs were the mighty names with whom not everyone can become associated with. Only a few families stand the chance of amiability with them based on the position they share in the society and friendship they built for ages. Some of those few were still living in the country while few have left to settle abroad but were still in touch.
Their business relations of Feng Internationals were mainly established internationally but still, the Big Boss of the country was known to have control over the economy that included hundreds of nouveau grown companies like Zhengs.
"Haha … I deserve no praise from people. It has been your CEO's hard work to bring you this hard deal. I can simply not take the blame; after all, I am still the employee from Feng Internationals. My duty, loyalty and priority are to serve President Feng and his company, not your Zheng Industries". Tang Daozhi said, pulling his lips with a mysterious smile
Blame? Zheng Wenting was sure to hear it properly but still, he did not dare to mind it thinking that might be it was just a plain, simple jest by the man who always loves to keep a friendly smile upon his lips.
Shrugging his words lightly in the air, Wenting looked at everyone surrounding him. Without any doubt, they have heard that odd word too. Suspicions were written over their faces. To ease them a little, he said, "Thanks to everyone for taking out some time to come here on the weekend to hear my future plans for Zheng Industries today. I am contented enough to know that you all are finally getting back the faith in me now. I will try my level best to not lose it again"
"Now, I would like to excuse myself. I still have a friend to attend. Hope you all would not mind" He added, addressing the title of a friend for Tang Daozhi.
The people around instantly nodded as they said in synchronicity. "Not at all, CEO Zheng. We would not remain here to hinder your conversations". Saying that everyone left in tow.
Zheng Wenting turned to present a smile to the man. "Mr Tang, please this way", he said politely, gesturing him towards his office.
Tang Daozhi smiled as he nodded and walked along with him to the office. "Mr Zheng, I hope you don't mind my sudden presence here. It's weekend and I know that you would have plans in your directory, so I would not keep my visit long. I was just here to congratulate you. Yesterday night, I got to know that you have finally got the contract with Feng Internationals".
"Though the cost was huge for you to bear, selling half of your owned shares to us at a tripled price, I am sure price was not any low for you to regret. I have tried my level best to bring you a good price for your shares along with the contract".
Zheng Wenting smiled and nodded to his words. The price he received was really not regrettable but what he cared for was the shares he has sold. For some reasons, he was just not feeling it right. "Yes, definitely Mr Tang. I know you had my goodwill in mind and I really appreciate that. I …"
"CEO Zheng, are you sure that I had your good in my mind?" The man suddenly interrupted. His words are enough to make Wenting's nerves clench tight with anxiousness.
"Mr Tang …"
"Haha … Chillax! CEO Zheng. My words are nothing serious but it is definitely not wrong too". Tang Daozhi said, bursting a peal of soft laughter at Wenting's stiff face.
