Restarting 16 Years Old, the Champion is Tiger and Tea

Chapter 266 Zhao Guanghui's Request

Zhao Guanghui frowned slightly and began to speak.

"Lao Tan, I was one of the original three partners, so why am I just the head of the technical department in the end?"

"Can you handle Ma Jun's job? Being the head of the technical department was your own choice at the beginning, wasn't it?"

Zhao Guanghui paused, feeling uneasy, but still argued anxiously.

"But so many years have passed, and I am no longer the same person I was back then."

Tan Mu's face turned cold.

"You're right. You're not the Zhao Guanghui of the past. Just tell me what you want to express today. Be straightforward and don't beat around the bush."

Zhao Guanghui lowered his eyelids, mustered up his courage, and spoke in a somewhat dull tone.

"Mr. Tan, I am indeed dissatisfied with my current situation in the company. I will make it clear that I have two demands."

"First, I want shares in the Heavenly Sword Legend project. I want a long-term profit margin instead of a bonus. Second, it's time for me to be promoted. I can share some of Mr. Ma's internal affairs."

Tan Mu looked at him quietly, his eyes were calm, but seemed to have substance, which made Zhao Guanghui feel a little flustered.

"Old Zhao, I will give you a clear answer now. First, you are not the investor or the main creator of "Legend of Heavenly Sword", so you absolutely cannot have any shares."

"But you have shares in the company, and you have made a lot of money there, far more than an ordinary technical director. If you are still not satisfied, there is nothing you can do."

"Second, regarding your position as the company's vice president. Let's first look at your recent performance. Doing private work, being late and leaving early, and pushing your own work to Feng Kun, have I wronged you in these ways?"

Zhao Guanghui's face flushed and he began to refute: "That's because..."

"I didn't ask you the reason, I only asked if it was true. If it was true, how do you think you are qualified to be promoted to vice president? How can you convince the public? You are already in danger of being the director of the technical department."

Zhao Guanghui was not good at speaking and was speechless after hearing what Tan Mu said.

"Guanghui, the division of labor among the three of us was something we all reached a consensus on at the beginning, and it has been running smoothly for so many years."

"You've always known that your weakness is that you're not good at socializing, so Ma Jun and I will be in charge of marketing, external relations, and overall coordination. You can focus on building the technical department."

"So, both of your demands are unreasonable and cannot be achieved. Are there any others?"

Zhao Guanghui finally found his voice, and he felt much less confident than before.

"Lao Tan, if the company can't meet my demands, then I will have to leave. This job is really too unpleasant."

Tan Mu nodded:

"Then, Guanghui, I won't discuss this issue with you directly. Since you are a shareholder of the company, there are many issues involved. I will let the company's legal department discuss this with you."

Zhao Guanghui felt very disappointed and a little resentful when he saw that he agreed so readily without any attempt to persuade him to stay.

"Old Tan, have you been waiting for me to leave for a long time, so you have been squeezing me out on benefits?"

Tan Mu looked at Zhao Guanghui with a coldness in his eyes that he had never seen before.

"Guanghui, when you said this, did you feel guilty? Have I, Tan Mu, ever treated you unfairly since I started my business?"

"You know what people in your position are like in other companies, right? Guanghui, whether we are separated or reunited, we must be decent and respect the facts when speaking."

Zhao Guanghui's face turned red, he pushed his chair and walked out, looking humiliated and angry.

Tan Mu picked up the phone on the table and called Ma Jun's office.

......

Ten minutes later, Zhao Guanghui sat in Ma Jun's office.

"Have you really decided to leave?"

Zhao Guanghui glanced at Ma Jun angrily.

"Did you all agree to kick me out? Otherwise, why aren't you surprised at all that I'm leaving?"

Ma Jun laughed angrily.

"Guanghui, don't you know how you've been doing these days? Being late, leaving early, doing private work, shirking your responsibilities. These are enough to get you fired in any company."

"Lao Tan was kind enough to you. He kept forbearing because of our old friendship and wanted to give you a chance. But what about you? Guanghui, don't you feel that you have become too outrageous during this period of time?"

Zhao Guanghui jumped up as if he had been stabbed in the butt.

"Old Ma, how am I so outrageous? I was too honest before and didn't know how to fight for myself. Now that I want to fight for myself, you guys start to make irresponsible remarks. No wonder Ningning said that you guys are bullying honest people."

Ma Jun was completely speechless.

"Guanghui, you don't have to be so excited. Tan Mu and I have acted in accordance with our conscience in the way we treated you."

"There's no point in arguing any further. Let me tell you, if you leave, are you planning to go to Fengyun?"

Zhao Guanghui was stunned again.

"Who told you that?"

Ma Jun sighed: "It's such a small circle. If there is a little disturbance, everyone will know it very quickly. Who else needs to tell it?"

"Guanghui, Old Xing from Fengyun is not a good person. Are you sure you can handle him and won't suffer at his hands?"

There was a flash of confusion in Zhao Guanghui's eyes, but he calmed down again.

"He gave me very favorable conditions. I also had more autonomy there and could get the lion's share of the money from the projects I worked on."

Ma Jun was speechless: "Guanghui, you should know the situation yourself. I'm afraid you can't go to Lao Xing's place. Let the company's legal department talk to you about the specific situation."

Zhao Guanghui raised his eyebrows:

"I know exactly what I am doing. I will go wherever I am valued. Who says I can't go? I really don't believe it. You guys are controlling everything. Can you stop me from eating?"

Ma Jun felt that he had completely fulfilled his work and moral responsibilities, and contacted the legal department for Zhao Guanghui.

In a few minutes, the conference room was filled with roars.

Zhao Guanghui crumpled the documents in his hand into a ball and threw them to the ground.

"Why? I've worked so hard for so many years. I've put so much into building Tanxin from scratch to where it is now. Why should I take back my shares unconditionally?"

Legal lawyer Zhang looked at Zhao Guanghui quietly.

"Boss Zhao, all partnership-based companies have these rules. This is not something Tan Xin came up with."

"Partners' shares cannot be transferred at will. If a partner changes jobs to a competitor or starts a business that competes with the original company, the shares must be taken back."

"This is the agreement you signed back then. It wasn't changed recently. Mr. Zhao, all companies constrain their partners in this way."

"It's impossible to keep your partner's shares while watching him become your rival. If you were another shareholder of the company, you wouldn't agree to it either."

Lawyer Zhang and Zhao Guanghui have known each other for many years, and they still have some feelings for each other, so their words were much calmer.

He also wanted to handle this matter smoothly and efficiently for Tan Mu.

Seeing that Zhao Guanghui had temporarily stopped, Lawyer Zhang took out another stack of documents and continued to add to his pressure.
