Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 586 - 201: The Grand Gift for Zhong Liying (Part 2)
"However, I know that whatever you’re doing, you must have your reasons."
No doubt, a gold-medal secretary knows exactly how to make people feel comfortable with their words.
Zhong Liying didn’t mind.
Who wouldn’t want a secretary who knows how to get things done and say the right things?
Li Wen is just that kind of considerate person.
"To be honest with you, I released this news just to see how the sneaky and deceitful folks in the company would react, usually they all keep a low profile, they’re all seasoned old foxes; without pushing them a little, it’s impossible to reveal their true colors."
Zhong Liying’s words seemed a bit profound.
But as her personal secretary, Li Wen immediately caught the implicit message: "I get it, you want to see which of the two vice presidents is suitable to succeed you?"
"Exactly, President Sun instructed me to find a good successor. I can’t just walk away and leave the car sales company in a mess."
"Tell me all the news you’ve gathered outside." Zhong Liying said calmly.
Li Wen is someone who loves learning and knows that a good memory is not as reliable as a bad pen.
She took out her beloved notebook and noted all the news she had gathered outside.
She said while flipping through her notes: "Vice President Wang was calling everywhere, who knows to whom. In any case, several people saw him making calls in the company restroom, and reportedly, when he came out, his legs were numb from crouching; he almost fell on the ground."
"Vice President Chen, on the other hand, was just as usual, doing his usual work as if the commotion outside had nothing to do with him, only minding his own business."
"Hmm, noted." Zhong Liying nodded.
"Who do you think is more suitable?"
"Huh? You’re asking me? Can I even say this?" Li Wen looked up.
"Go ahead, think of it as just chatting casually." Zhong Liying nodded.
"If you ask me, Vice President Wang seems to be more ambitious, but he is more proactive and enthusiastic about his work; Vice President Chen seems calm and collected, like a leader, but only focuses on his own duties and seems to take a passive approach of ’working for the day’."
Li Wen’s insight made Zhong Liying look at her differently.
No wonder she’s been by her side for so long, her perspective is different from the average person.
Zhong Liying clapped: "Very well said, it’s pretty much what I thought."
Li Wen happily said: "Boss Zhong, so you also think Vice President Wang is suitable to succeed you."
Yet Zhong Liying shook her head: "No! I actually prefer Vice President Chen."
Huh?
What kind of move is this?
Didn’t you say, your opinion is the same as mine?
Seeing Li Wen looking utterly bewildered, Zhong Liying stood up with a smile: "Wen Wen, you are indeed a very smart girl, you can often see beyond the surface, but you missed one thing."
"What thing?" Li Wen asked instinctively.
"That is Vice President Chen is a classmate of our big boss, President Sun."
KO!
Zhong Liying’s remark was a knockout blow.
Oh my.
There’s actually this layer of connection, she didn’t know it.
Something’s not right, it doesn’t add up.
If Boss Zhong knew, then why spread the word?
"You’re wondering if I’m overdoing it?" Zhong Liying seemed to know what she was thinking.
Li Wen nodded like a chick pecking rice.
Why?
"Of course, it’s to see who’s jumping around in front of Vice President Wang, to clear obstacles for our Vice President Chen’s succession."
Zhong Liying’s words, unexpected but reasonable.
Li Wen listened, her legs involuntarily pressed together.
Cold sweat broke out on her back.
....
Sun Dasheng sat in the Rolls-Royce Phantom with his eyes closed, relaxing.
After he got rich, he avoided classmates who tried to curry favor with him.
Later, as the numbers in his account grew, money became just a symbol to him.
He came to terms with it.
He extended some care to those classmates with whom he once had a good relationship.
Chen Yuan from the car sales company was one of them.
He once enjoyed a great reputation post-graduation: a senior manager in P2P, leading a team that duped old men and women into depositing money, earning millions annually at one point.
Even at his peak, he didn’t forget his classmates, warmly inviting many classmates over to make money together.
Among them was Sun Dasheng.
But he politely declined.
Because he knew that stuff was no different from loan sharking, the risk was too great.
Even though it was a legitimate business at that time, he didn’t want to earn money against his conscience, he couldn’t get over his personal moral hurdle.
However, he did appreciate Chen Yuan’s good intentions.
Later, when it was banned by the government, Chen Yuan went from being in the spotlight to being publicly condemned.
Old men and women came in droves to demand repayment.
His colleagues naturally fled.
The phone call goes unanswered, and he doesn’t go home.
But he’s tough enough that he emptied his savings to pay for the compensation.
Of course, as a result, his wife, not wanting to burden him, ran away with the child.
.....
For classmates like Chen Yuan, who have some kind of friendship, Sun Dasheng arranged good jobs.
Those who can manage, he promotes well; those who can’t, sitting around doing nothing doesn’t cost much anyway.
Because he has enough companies under his belt.
To him, it’s neither here nor there.
But this move significantly improved his reputation among classmates.
President Sun: A good man!
...
A few days later.
Good man Sun Dasheng arrived at Weima Company in a Rolls-Royce.
The purpose today is, of course, to support Zhong Liying.
After all, she’s a newcomer, and moreover, a woman.
If she doesn’t have the strong backing of a big boss, who knows how long it will take her to find her footing in the company.
Sun Dasheng certainly doesn’t want her zeal worn down in this power struggle.
In the company meeting room.
Looking at the large and small, round and flat heads below, he said:
"You’ve all received the news about Weima Automobile changing hands, right?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
The response below was lazy and listless, weak and dispirited.
Weima Automobile’s former Deputy General Manager Fang Dashan was suddenly a bit anxious, got up and shouted to the back: "Did you all not eat? The boss is here and you’re all acting like this, lifeless, do you want to be optimized away?"
His words had some effect, the response below became a bit more enthusiastic.
Effective, but limited.
"President Sun, sorry for making a fool of ourselves, the company’s two bankruptcies have robbed them of their spirit."
He chose to speak the truth.
Sun Dasheng looked at this tall man, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Instantly, his information appeared in his mind.
Fang Dashan, Deputy General Manager of Weima Automobile, also serving as the company’s Technical Director, graduated from the best school in the country, Tsinghua University, furthered his studies at MIT in America, with a PhD.
He once worked at Nissan Automobile in Japan, greatly valued by the Japanese, and finally, seeing the thriving state of the domestic new energy vehicle market, he resolutely chose to return to China, recruited by President Shen of Weima Automobile, deeply trusted by him.
Shen Hui wasn’t good at making cars, but he was pretty decent at judging people.
Everyone else in the meeting room was lifeless, but only his eyes still held spirit.
Not bad, truly not bad.
At least he left me with something good.
"Manager Fang, please sit down! I can understand why everyone is downcast, after all, the bigger the hope, the bigger the disappointment."
Sun Dasheng waved his hand, asking the other to sit down.
Fang Dashan followed suit smoothly.
Sun Dasheng looked at the crowd of heads below: "I understand you all, it’s said that a person can’t fall into the same ditch twice, but... you managed to do it."
This sounded a bit off.
Some below were not convinced: "President Sun, you can’t blame us for the company’s bankruptcy."
"Oh? Then whom should I blame?" Sun Dasheng asked with a face full of curiosity.
"Blame President Shen who left despondently? Or blame the short-sighted consumers?"
The place fell silent.
Zhong Liying eased the tension with a few words.
Then the meeting adjourned.
In the General Manager’s office.
Three people sat.
"Let’s have a small meeting."
Sun Dasheng looked at Zhong Liying and Fang Dashan and said.
Fang Dashan hesitated.
Sun Dasheng waved his hand to stop him.
"I know what you want to say, but better not say it."
"Uh..."
"I know the company’s issues aren’t caused by one person, the reasons for failure are complex, what we need to do now is cut the Gordian knot."
"Do you mean to cut it all at once?" Fang Dashan seemed to get his idea.
"Yes, instead of struggling in a mud pit, push it all over and start anew." Sun Dasheng said with certainty.
He looked at Zhong Liying.
Zhong Liying immediately responded: "Starting over is indeed the best and most pragmatic approach now."
"But..." Fang Dashan’s face was full of concerns.
