Chapter 1671: Chapter 1699: The Capable Ones Rise

When Tobia Armstrong saw the complex expressions on everyone’s faces, he nodded silently. These were savvy individuals, and by now, they must have realized some key points.

"Comrades, there’s no longer any doubt about Peter Brown’s capabilities. This comrade has knowledge as well as a pragmatic spirit. Everyone still remembers the open examination last time, right? At that time, so many units were vying for Comrade Wang Xiaofei, but what happened? Comrade Wang Xiaofei didn’t leave our group company. Instead, he focused on his work, not making any noise until he did something spectacular. Also, he earned a project worth a hundred million without resorting to any underhanded methods, which itself served as an exemplary effect."

Now, everyone knew that Tobia Armstrong’s goal was to set Peter as a model to be followed.

However, upon remembering that the two major powers had fallen, everyone’s hearts still trembled, becoming more cautious about matters that were not clear, not daring to provoke someone who might have the backing of a superpower.

It would be better to maintain good relations!

Now, everyone’s thoughts were clear: do not become an adversary of Peter Brown.

Seeing no opposition to his views, Tobia Armstrong felt proud. Leveraging the matter of Peter Brown had also allowed him to further enhance his own prestige.

Peter Brown was someone he had promoted. Everyone might also speculate whether he had relations with that significant personage, which of course, would be a good thing for himself.

Picking up his teacup, he took a sip of tea and continued, "You all are aware of the situation in their branch office. Now, the manager Henry Carter has run into trouble, the deputy manager Azrael Richardson has also run into trouble, and just today, I received news that the deputy manager Rush Jones has also encountered a problem. Now tell me, what is the situation with their team?"

Slapping the table with his hand, Tobia Armstrong said, "The current situation is that the entire branch office has fallen into disarray; we must reorganize their team."

At this moment, the secretary said, "Indeed, an adjustment must be made. It’s only by reorganizing the team that we can orderly carry out the work of the branch office."

Tobia Armstrong slightly nodded and said, "The Riverwater Valley Reservoir Project is a hundred million project. After winning the bid, we need to organize personnel to enter the site. This is a project worth one hundred million, and according to past rules, it should be directly managed by the group company. However, considering the situation of the branch office, I have an idea about adjusting the team. What if we have two sets of teams with one set of personnel?"

There was a discussion on this matter among everyone.

After the discussion, Tobia Armstrong continued, "Shouldn’t that real estate project be close to completion?"

A vice president replied, "Indeed, it has entered the final stages now. The project will be almost over upon completion, and now with this Reservoir Project, we could also relocate the personnel there."

Another vice president added, "Mr. Armstrong’s idea is correct. Now that the real estate project is almost finished, once it is completed, those people will basically have no work. In such a situation, we need to consider these people’s livelihood. We should take some people back and invest others into the new project, as the reservoir and real estate are two different projects. We need to do work related to the reservoir and thus must find professionals. The company should transfer people who are knowledgeable in this area to the Reservoir Project. Although Comrade Wang Xiaofei has done a lot of work in this regard, he is not very knowledgeable in this area, so it would be rather forced to place him in that project."

After so much discussion, it turned out they were all waiting for his input!

Tobia Armstrong then looked towards this vice president, understanding clearly that the vice president intended to misinterpret his words to sideline Peter Brown.

Sitting there, Tobia Armstrong thought carefully, but he also knew in his heart that Peter Brown, being someone who had jumped into this career midway and came from a migrant worker background, might be a bit risky to place as the manager of the reservoir. He wasn’t even sure if Peter could manage the work well.

At that moment, the leaders were discussing the project team’s matters.

It was clear that Matthew Clarkson also was not suitable to be the manager since he had never managed a first-level project. Therefore, finding another project manager had become inevitable.

After considering it for a while, Tobia Armstrong thought it would be better for Peter Brown to gain experience, it would be more beneficial to his development to place him as the Executive Deputy Manager. He slightly nodded and said, "I’ve considered everyone’s views, and here’s what I think: the current real estate project is not yet finished, let Comrade Wang Xiaofei serve as the manager there. However, considering Comrade Wang Xiaofei’s capabilities in the Reservoir Project, let him take on the role of Executive Deputy Manager of the Riverwater Valley Project. This way, we can take care of both sides and also aid his development. What does everyone think?"

Hearing Tobia Armstrong’s words, everyone knew that they had to agree, and they all slightly nodded, saying, "Yes, I think this will work."

"Hmm, that makes sense, it’s beneficial for the growth of our merit-worthy Peter Brown. Mr. Armstrong has considered it thoroughly."

"I agree as well."

"Alright then, the matter of Comrade_Wang_Xiaofei’s appointment is settled for now, let’s now look at Comrade Matthew Clarkson’s position."

Tobia Armstrong, seeing that his proposal had earned everyone’s support, felt quite pleased.

When they brought up Matthew Clarkson, there wasn’t as much support. A vice president said, "This comrade has just been promoted and hasn’t really achieved anything. Anyway, since the real estate project is not yet finished, my opinion is to leave him as is, let him stay as the secretary. He doesn’t need to get involved with the Reservoir Project."

"With this suggestion, supporters increased. Everyone knew the Reservoir Project was a major undertaking and naturally had their own personnel arrangements. Even a leader who might have wanted to support him eventually gave up on the idea. Thus, everyone reached a decision: keep the real estate project as it is for the time being, with Peter Brown as manager and Matthew Clarkson as secretary, recruiting a person named Kye Jenkins as the deputy manager, with the main responsibility resting with Peter Brown, who actually had the real authority.

As the battle for the Reservoir Project continued, the members of the team were appointed from various sides, and soon the team for the Reservoir Project was established.

Tobia Armstrong was satisfied with this outcome; the manager he proposed was a person named George Bridge, with Peter Brown serving as the Executive Deputy Manager, effectively keeping the project under his control.

After the meeting concluded, numerous phone calls were made, and news of this meeting spread quickly.
