Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Luo Chen's Scheme
Chen Wei wasn't entirely sure about the relationship between Wang Wentao, Zhao Yang, Sun Chong, and the others. However, considering that these people had been with Wang Wentao for so many years, and Wang Wentao was adept at winning people over, it should be reliable.
Chen Wei didn't believe that Luo Chen could easily sway Xu Changjie and Wu Fei over. Perhaps the reason for inviting the two was more about sowing discord between Wang Wentao and them.
Chen Wei sneered.
Luo Chen seemed to be overestimating others. He seemed to think everyone was as suspicious as he was.
Admittedly, Wang Wentao was quite suspicious, but there was one thing Luo Chen definitely couldn't compare to him: the ability to judge people.
Wang Wentao's ability to trust and utilize people, evident in his long-term use of people like Xu Changjie and Wu Fei for ten years, showed that he trusted them greatly.
In this situation, Luo Chen's attempt to use this petty trick to drive a wedge between Wang Wentao, Xu Changjie, and Wu Fei was wishful thinking.
Perhaps, instead of achieving his goal, he had inadvertently exposed some of his own details to Wang Wentao.
In a low voice, Zhou Yi said, "Boss, Luo Chen really has some tricks up his sleeve. Apart from Zhao and Sun, he managed to get all the other group leaders on his side! Isn't Wang Wentao now just an empty commander?"
Chen Wei shook his head and said, "Trying to lure all these group leaders over in such a short time? That's not so simple! Unless he promises significant benefits, but even then, not everyone values material gain."
Associating for profit—when profit is gone, so is the bond; associating for power—when power is lost, so is the relationship; associating for authority—when authority is lost, so is the alliance; associating for affection—when affection is severed, so is the injury; only by associating with the heart can it be lasting.
Luo Chen had no power or authority, and certainly no affection or heart, so only the promise of profit remained.
There were indeed many people in this world who pursued profit alone.
Like Zhou Yi.
But not everyone was solely interested in profit.
Moreover, those who pursued profit could be divided into two types: the less intelligent who only saw immediate benefits and the more intelligent who considered long-term gains.
Zhou Yi was the latter.
Luo Chen could probably only offer a vague promise, perhaps offering shares or promising greater investment from Chu Zhaoyun, painting a rosy picture of the company's prospects, and so on.
Maybe some people would be tempted, but certainly not everyone.
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Makes sense. So Luo Chen probably called those group leaders over to play the game of sowing discord."
Chen Wei smiled and said, "This kind of trick won't fool Mr. Wang."
"I think so too. Mr. Wang is a fox with a thousand years of experience. It's too naive for Luo Chen to play the discord game in front of him."
Zhou Yi also smiled.
"By the way, ask Jia Qi to pay attention to what they all say," Chen Wei instructed Zhou Yi.
"I've already told her," Zhou Yi replied, nodding.
Chen Wei forwarded the list to his phone.
Zhou Yi went back to drink with the others, while Chen Wei continued to silently contemplate the list.
In addition to the group leaders and core team members, there were a few traders who had a good relationship with Luo Chen, as well as a few traders who had performed well.
Chen Wei wouldn't consider the group leaders, regardless of whether they were swayed by Luo Chen or not. He didn't plan to recruit them.
As for the risk control team, Wang Fang didn't attend today. It seemed that Luo Chen didn't trust Wang Fang anymore.
Chen Wei wasn't too concerned. With Xue Jiaqi in charge now, it was enough for the time being. After Xue Jiaqi reconciled with Meng Xiaofan, even if she left, she could still obtain some information.
Besides, there was still Xu Lin.
Chen Wei believed that Wang Wentao would definitely get this list, and he would definitely ask Xu Lin to find a way to secretly contact these risk control members. Perhaps, among these risk control members, there might even be Wang Wentao's people.
So Chen Wei didn't need to bother recruiting risk control members.
At the moment, Chen Wei's focus was still on the core team members and those traders who had performed well.
Except for Yuan Tong and his few close friends in the core team, there weren't many conflicts with the other members.
He could try to recruit them.
Of course, before recruiting, he needed Xue Jiaqi to pay attention to those who had a good relationship with Luo Chen and forget about them.
In another restaurant.
Luo Chen raised his glass and looked at the people in the private room with a slight smile. He said, "The success of Meta is the result of everyone's joint efforts. On behalf of Mr. Chu, I thank everyone for their contributions to Meta and hope that we can continue to work together in the future to create brilliance together!"
Luo Chen immediately brought up Chu Zhaoyun!
He was aware that to truly win over these people, his own efforts alone were not enough.
He had to bring out Chu Zhaoyun, the force behind him, to add weight to his words!
Sure enough, after Luo Chen finished speaking, the expressions of the people in the room varied.
Some people looked eager, some remained expressionless, some frowned, and some whispered to each other, asking who Mr. Chu was.
In Meta, there weren't many people who knew about Chu Zhaoyun. Even fewer knew about the relationship between Luo Chen and Chu Zhaoyun.
Although the news had spread a bit recently, only a few people knew.
Now, those who knew the situation explained it to those who didn't in a low voice.
Soon, everyone in the room knew.
Most people's eyes began to light up.
The young master of the Chujiang Group!
Unexpectedly, the backstage of Meta was so big!
But some people detected something was off.
Wu Fei sat quietly in his seat, not raising his glass with everyone else, but calmly looked at Luo Chen and said lightly, "Luo Chen, it's not appropriate for you to bypass Mr. Wang and call us here to say these things."
Xu Wenjie, sitting next to him, held a glass of wine in his hand and slowly swayed it, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Oh, Lao Wu, you're overthinking it. I'm just here on behalf of Mr. Chu to express our gratitude and encouragement to Meta. This has nothing to do with whether Mr. Wang is here or not, right? Meta has grown, and Mr. Wang must be happy about it, right?" Du Yanchao said.
Luo Chen also smiled faintly and said, "Brother Chao is right, Lao Wu. I really didn't mean anything else, and besides, I originally wanted Mr. Wang to come with us. It's just that Mr. Wang said he had something to do and couldn't make it. He suggested that we go ahead and eat without him."
Wu Fei looked quietly at Luo Chen for a while before giving a faint smile, raising his glass, and saying, "I did indeed overthink it. Let's have a drink together and wish for the continued prosperity of Meta Investment!"
