Chapter 51 51: Fawning and Flattery
"Alright, although this matter is quite difficult and not something an average person can accomplish. But, you know, I, Zhang Ming, have some capabilities, so I'll figure something out."
Zhang Ming pretended to be a little troubled, but the proud expression on his face was unmistakable.
As soon as Zhang Ming finished speaking, a chorus of compliments erupted.
"Look, Vice President Zhang always has a way!"
"Yes, Vice President Zhang is young and capable. It's such a blessing for Qiuyun Company to have a young talent like him."
"So true, ever since we've had Vice President Zhang, Qiuyun Company's performance has been soaring. Vice President Zhang is truly talented."
Zhang Ming's face was aglow with pride, and he raised his head proudly while pretending to be humble, "Oh, not at all, I'm not as great as everyone says, just a bit skilled."
Even though Qiu Qianyu was a bit dissatisfied with Zhang Ming, she had to rely on him at this moment.
"Then, please Vice President Zhang, try to think of a solution," Qiu Qianyu requested again.
"No problem, no problem."
Zhang Ming smiled smugly at Qiu Qianyu, then took out his phone and dialed a number.
At the same time, he boasted, "Actually, I'm not that capable, just have some connections with President Zhao Weide of the Zhao Group. I think if I make a call, he'll give me some face."
This guy, he actually has connections with Zhao Weide from the Zhao Group?
Qiu Qianyu was shocked, and there was a hint of hope in her beautiful eyes.
"President Qiu, rest assured, as soon as I make the call, there won't be any issue with this matter."
While dialing, Zhang Ming spoke to Qiu Qianyu.
But, the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering.
"Huh? How come no one is answering?"
Zhang Ming dialed again, but still, no one picked up, and he couldn't help but become a bit anxious.
"Vice President Zhang, don't worry, maybe President Zhao didn't hear it."
"Yeah, perhaps President Zhao is busy, he'll call back once he notices."
Seeing Zhang Ming's anxiety, the surrounding flatterers immediately offered comfort.
Zhang Ming nodded, self-assured, "Yes, that's definitely the reason."
"But I think Zhao Weide doesn't even know you!"
Just then, a discordant voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Zhang Ming turned his head in the direction of the voice and noticed someone sitting in a corner next to Qiu Qianyu.
This guy, dressed casually, was lounging lazily in the corner, and that remark had come from him.
"Who are you? How did you get here? Why don't I recognize you?"
Zhang Ming had been on business trips recently and truly hadn't noticed when the company gained someone like this. What was this person doing?
"I'm President Qiu's driver and bodyguard, Vice President Zhang is usually busy, so naturally wouldn't notice me."
"Driver? Part-time bodyguard? What right does a driver or bodyguard have to be in this conference room? Get out!"
The words from Jiang Chuan just now clearly displeased Zhang Ming, so he immediately snapped.
Jiang Chuan chuckled and looked at him, saying calmly, "I'm President Qiu's bodyguard and driver. I don't think Vice President Zhang has the authority to kick me out, right?"
Jiang Chuan's words left Zhang Ming speechless.
Helplessly, he could only glare fiercely at Jiang Chuan and then continue dialing Zhao Weide's phone.
But even though Zhao Weide's phone was ringing for a long time, no one answered.
At this moment, that annoying voice spoke up again.
"Vice President Zhang, I think you should stop trying. It's likely that he doesn't even know you well, which is why he's not answering your call!"
"Nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ming angrily jumped up.
He pointed at Jiang Chuan and shouted discontentedly, "I'm an old friend of President Zhao Weide of the Zhao Group. As long as I, Zhang Ming, say a word, no matter how difficult the matter, President Zhao will definitely give me some face."
"You, just a little driver and bodyguard, what the hell do you know!"
Angry, Zhang Ming even cursed.
And those flatterers who surrounded Zhang Ming immediately followed in agreement.
"Exactly, what kind of person is our Vice President Zhang? Of course, he knows influential figures, there's no way he isn't familiar with President Zhao Weide. This guy clearly hasn't seen much of the world, what does he know?"
"Exactly! President Zhao Weide will definitely give Vice President Zhang face. Maybe Zhao Weide just hasn't seen his phone yet."
"For sure, otherwise President Zhao would definitely answer Vice President Zhang's call. After all, they're old friends! This driver really lacks manners, he should be kicked out!"
The conference room was filled with the sound of chattering, with everyone seemingly targeting Jiang Chuan.
