AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 52
by VolareThe two social positions that the Empress gave him could be considered lucrative positions with a lot of power and high social status.
If he could hold them steady, he would rise rapidly; if he couldn’t, he would fall from the clouds…
The Omega Protection Association was a mess within the Empress’s countless branches of power. It had been decaying for a long time, and if it wasn’t cleaned up, it would rot and stink, affecting the reputation of the Empress’s main forces. Throwing Ruan Tang here as chairman, the Empress wanted Ruan Tang to help her clean up this mess and test Ruan Tang’s strength again.
Ruan Tang knew this very well. Sure enough, he ran into trouble less than two days after becoming chairman.
In Dias’s aristocratic circles, the work of the Omega Protection Association was a position that every aristocratic Omega yearned for. Ruan Tang was young and parachuted into this position. Even the veterans of the Omega Protection Association who hadn’t done anything substantial, just hanging a false title to get by, were quite unconvinced by Ruan Tang and were extremely unfriendly to him.
Ruan Tang had many ideas in his heart, and he also knew that the current Omega Protection Association was a decaying place. He knew that the Empress supported him here to let him achieve something, do something practical to add luster to the Empress’s wings.
Therefore, for the management of the association and other improvements, Ruan Tang put forward many improvement suggestions as soon as he entered the association.
“Chairman, it’s not that we’re disobedient, it’s just that I really don’t know how to start… In the past, we never explicitly recorded our reimbursement accounts. It’s not a big amount of money, is it necessary to do this?”
“It’s just working at the association, who isn’t just muddling through? We don’t have much to do, why be so strict?”
“Chairman, I really can’t do this job. Why don’t you make a copy of what you require for me to see first, as an example…”
“Chairman…”
Those mixed up in the association were all Omegas with power, influence, and background, and they were also old hands who had been around for a long time, and had long formed their own faction.
They respectfully called Ruan Tang chairman on the surface, but in reality, no one took Ruan Tang seriously.
Although Ruan Tang had a reputation as a ‘black-hearted lotus’ in the circle, those who really mixed in the power circle didn’t take him seriously at all, and even thought he was actually a fool.
After all, Ruan Xi had ruined Ruan Tang’s reputation like that before, and Ruan Tang couldn’t do anything about it?
If Ruan Tang really had that ability, how could his reputation have been spread to this point, and for so many years?
And the fact that Ruan Tang was so infatuated with Auston, knew how to please his Alpha, and was quite favored, was even less of an ability in the eyes of this group of self-righteous Omegas.
Seeing that these people were procrastinating and disobeying his orders, Ruan Tang didn’t have much extra expression on his face, and immediately took a deep breath: “Reimbursement accounts based only on oral statements or a record, without corresponding data and vouchers recorded, are not compliant, and even people from the Imperial Finance Department can come to investigate and put you all in…”
Having stayed in a meticulous place like the Research Institute for a long time, Ruan Tang actually hated the attitude of these high-level Omegas in the association who were just waiting to die.
“But who would investigate us? And who would let us in?” That Omega’s husband was a general, and his father was a count, so he didn’t take it seriously and his face was full of indifference.
The Omega Protection Association was a place for the Imperial Star dignitaries to place their families, and it was indeed a place where even the Imperial Finance Department had to give some face, knowing that there was muddy water inside, and wouldn’t come to investigate.
Ruan Tang glanced at him: “Whether or not they investigate is one thing, and whether or not you do it is another.”
“But in the past…” That Omega immediately frowned in dissatisfaction, wanting to tell Ruan Tang about the rules of the association.
Ruan Tang didn’t give him a chance to finish his words, and directly interrupted him: “You also know that was in the past?”
“Now I am the chairman of the association, and all management, work arrangements, rules and regulations of the association must be in accordance with my requirements. My requirement for you is just to complete your job, I think this should not be difficult, right?”
“But I don’t know those things at all.” That Omega didn’t expect Ruan Tang to speak to him like this, his face immediately turned extremely ugly, and he said with a justified tone.
Anyway, Ruan Tang couldn’t fire him.
“If you don’t know, go learn. If I remember correctly, your major in university was this, if you can’t even do this, and you still want me to give you an example, I suggest you go back to school and retake the course.” Ruan Tang didn’t want to offend him, but in this situation, he had to prove himself, so he had to kill the chicken to warn the monkey first.
Therefore, he didn’t leave any face for this person.
That Omega directly confronted Ruan Tang: “When we aristocratic Omegas go to university, isn’t it just to gild ourselves and get a good reputation? Who would really go to learn things? Chairman, don’t you think so?”
He himself was unlearned and incompetent, so he thought that others were also unlearned and incompetent.
“I’m really not like that.” Ruan Tang sneered: “If you can’t complete your job and treat going to work as muddling through, and your family doesn’t lack this little money, I advise you to go home and muddle through, you don’t need to continue working here.”
That Omega didn’t expect Ruan Tang to say this, and his face immediately turned blue: “You—”
“Now is working time, I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you, you can do the work if you want. If you don’t want to do it, send your resignation report to my office later!” Ruan Tang had no intention of getting entangled with him, and didn’t want to waste time arguing with him here, and directly ignored that Omega and walked into his office.
At the moment he closed the door, the Omega who had been humiliated immediately complained angrily to his colleagues, and said with uncontrollable anger: “He—how dare he ask me to resign? What is he, who does he think he is, he wants to break the balance that we’ve had here for so long as soon as he comes, he really thinks he’s something.”
“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, it’s really not certain who will leave the association first between you and him.” Another colleague with a good background immediately patted his back and comforted him, and mentioned Ruan Tang with a tone full of disdain.
They were all quite dissatisfied with Ruan Tang becoming chairman. Among them, Vice Chairman Della was the leader, and he had already questioned and resented him from the moment Ruan Tang became chairman.
He had always felt that the old chairman’s retirement was because the parachuted Ruan Tang had snatched his position.
And now most of the people in the association had a good relationship with him…
Then, Ruan Tang, the newly appointed chairman, was isolated.
Although these people had been disobeying him in the past, this time they didn’t even pretend to obey, and directly collectively went on strike and turned a blind eye to Ruan Tang, the chairman.
“Chairman, they are all young masters with bad tempers, they are really disobedient, and you can’t completely offend them, so they are not easy to manage. Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, aren’t you angry?” Vice Chairman Della had never shown any malice towards Ruan Tang, and ran to Ruan Tang with a gentle smile to pretend to persuade him.
Ruan Tang was not surprised by the current situation. His arrival represented a reform of the association, and reform meant touching the interests of these people who were just waiting to die, increasing their workload, and touching their cake. It was too normal for these people to unite and mess with him.
“These people are really, I am wholeheartedly for the good of the association, but they…” Ruan Tang knew this for a long time, and also knew that it was the person in front of him who was stabbing him in the back, but he still made an angry look in front of Della, as if he regarded Della as a good person: “Mrs. Della, now only you are willing to say a few words to me, and don’t treat me as air.”
“Chairman, I know that you came by the order of the Empress, and I also understand your desire to achieve something, but the people in the association are all deeply rooted, and can’t be touched or scolded, you must not be too hasty…” Della comforted with the appearance of a good old person.
Ruan Tang bit his lip, with a look of being taught: “I know, you are right, I am new here, and I have a straightforward temper, maybe there are indeed some problems with my way of working, and I have offended people and made them unhappy, this is all my fault…”
“My words are useless, the Empress… In the future, the affairs of the association will depend on you, please take more care and teach me more.” Even if he knew that he was stabbing him in the back, Ruan Tang still said good things and flattered him.
Della smiled secretly: “It’s easy to say, easy to say, if there is anything in the future, you can tell me, and I will convey your instructions for you.”
Della thought that he had solved Ruan Tang, and Ruan Tang would be emptied by him from now on. In the future, Ruan Tang would only be the chairman in name in the association, and the real power of the chairman would be in his hands.
Even Ruan Tang would follow his lead.
When it was time to get off work, the Omega who had quarreled with Ruan Tang before immediately raised his eyebrows provocatively at him, and said triumphantly: “Didn’t the chairman want me to write a resignation report? I just won’t write it, what can you do to me?”
“If you have the ability, you can sue to the Empress, sue to Duke Auston, I want to see what you can do to me?”
Ruan Tang sneered, didn’t say a word, turned his head and left.
As for the idea of suing to the Empress and to Auston, he didn’t have any at all. Not to mention, the Empress sent him here to see his ability and wouldn’t help him. Even if Auston was willing to help him, in Ruan Tang’s view, the forces behind these people were deeply rooted, and Auston would have to provoke a lot of trouble and trouble even if he broke their legs.
Ruan Tang wholeheartedly wanted to lead Auston on the right track and didn’t want to do this, and he also felt that this little thing was too naive, and there was no need to bring it up and trouble Auston.
Since he had decided to enter this circle, he was ready to deal with all the storms.
From the moment he decided to enter the game, Ruan Tang had become a sharp sword out of its sheath, and didn’t allow himself to turn back at all.
His choice was to find another way, seize the handles of these thorns who were disobeying him, and instead of finding them, he directly found the people behind them who were supporting their arrogance and truly held the power, and politely analyzed the pros and cons with them, and combined the Empress’s meaning with the ministers’ meaning and linked it with the current needle and their family’s relationship, and politely said a few words to persuade them.
The aristocratic Omegas in the association who were just waiting to die may be fools who didn’t seek to improve, but the people in their families who really held the power were not fools. No one wanted to tarnish their future and the future of their family because they were used to their Omegas not doing this little thing.
Ruan Tang thought that he had some political sensitivity, and he was also quite eloquent. He just lightly beat these powerful people, and these people immediately understood and went home to restrain and warn their Omegas.
In just a few days, many of the association’s staff who had been on strike before didn’t need Ruan Tang to say anything and obediently resumed work, and every job requirement was in accordance with Ruan Tang’s requirements.
Della was shocked. He just wanted to test Ruan Tang and didn’t take him seriously, but he didn’t expect that Ruan Tang was no longer what he used to be, as if he had changed into a real black-hearted lotus.
However, because of Della’s existence, although most people in the association resumed work because Ruan Tang went to their homes one by one, there were still some idiots whose families in power were also idiots who extremely protected their Omegas.
They were still thorns in Ruan Tang’s work process, and they still didn’t take Ruan Tang seriously.
The second step that Ruan Tang did was to talk and laugh with Della on the surface, and secretly form an alliance with Della’s enemies in the association, establish a good relationship, and directly attack Della.
He directly grasped the evidence of Della’s embezzlement and bribery and embezzlement of public funds during his tenure and presented it to the Empress, and also revealed Della’s affair to his husband.
At this time, the Emperor and Empress were fighting, and the Empress needed to kill a chicken to warn the monkey and pull down a confidant to establish her prestige and express her fairness and justice. Although Della’s husband played his own game with him, this kind of thing was embarrassing after all, and most of the Alpha in Imperial Star were direct a cancer, even if they spent their time in pleasure, they hoped that their Omegas would keep their bodies like jade… Ruan Tang accurately grasped the subtle psychology of the Empress and Della’s husband, and directly let the Empress dismiss Della and send him to prison.
And Della’s husband and family reached a consensus—
None of them came forward to protect him.
Following closely, the people who aimed at Ruan Tang began to have bad luck one after another.
Della’s other position was the president of the Imperial Omega Union Committee. As soon as his position was vacant, Ruan Tang took the lead, and several old people who were extremely trusted by the Empress echoed, and they all recommended Ruan Tang’s new ally to go up.
Both the Omega Protection Association Chairman and the Imperial Omega Union Committee were washed once because of Ruan Tang’s joining.
Seeing this, the Empress immediately looked at Ruan Tang with admiration, and said a few words to remind Ruan Tang, and then supported a person who was extremely unhappy with Ruan Tang to be the vice president of the committee, but she did not withdraw the position of the president of the person who had a very good relationship with Ruan Tang, and Ruan Tang’s Omega Protection Association Chairman was also placed by the Empress with a person who had a bad relationship with Ruan Tang, but was not as smart as Della to be the vice president.
As a superior, she was not happy to see her subordinates dominate.
So far, the Empress’s power network maintained a balance. Half of them had a harmonious relationship with Ruan Tang, and those who remained neutral and those who were unhappy with Ruan Tang each accounted for a quarter.
Ruan Tang deeply understood that it was not appropriate to be too hasty, and that he should learn to stop when necessary, to give a stick and a candy, and seeing this, he immediately stopped attacking those who had a bad relationship with him, but chose to take the initiative to apologize and shake hands with them.
Although these people were still dissatisfied with Ruan Tang in their hearts, they did not dare to directly target Ruan Tang after looking at the current situation…
They temporarily ceased fire with Ruan Tang and maintained a false harmony.
So far, Ruan Tang had completely gained a firm foothold in the Empress’s power network.
“Not simple, not simple, this Omega is really not simple. It’s simply a natural material for playing with power. In the past, I misread it.” Looking at Ruan Tang’s entry into the Empress’s power, and stirred up such a big storm without showing his face, many Dias high-level figures in the Empress’s power sighed.
—They only felt that they had misread it before. This black-hearted lotus may really be a black-hearted lotus. It didn’t show its face before, but its scheming and methods were really very profound.
