Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce-Chapter 681 - 248: Tian Xiwei in High Spirits

Sun Dacheng wore a bitter face, "Who knew those damned copyrights were so expensive."

"I barely made a move, and the money in my hands was gone like water."

"Oh you, you..." Da Sheng was at a loss for words with this guy.

It’s a well-known fact, even to outsiders, that copyrights are costly.

The three major video platforms are all losing billions each year, all because of copyrights.

"Brother, I’m sorry, I’ve messed up for you." Sun Dacheng immediately apologized.

"Why don’t you just replace me."

"Find someone more efficient."

Sun Dasheng studied his expression seriously; it seemed he wasn’t trying to advance by retreating; he was speaking sincerely.

Then he patted his shoulder: "We have plenty of money; money isn’t the issue, but do you know where you went wrong in this matter?"

Sun Dacheng looked up, shook his head blankly.

His mind was filled only with his brother’s dominant phrase, "money isn’t an issue."

"Your mistake was in getting carried away. When people get carried away, they easily make mistakes; it’s hard for anyone to overcome their inherent flaws."

Sun Dasheng spoke with some emotion.

Especially in today’s internet age, those web celebrities at their peak who earned tons of money—how many are still active online now?

They soared high, then vanished without a trace.

And why?

Because success came too easily.

And then they got carried away.

Once people get carried away, it’s very easy to make mistakes.

Some are even quite naive mistakes.

Like those three sheep that recently caused a stir, isn’t that the case?

A giant on Douyin collapsed without any warning.

Did they get carried away at some point?

Of course.

Sun Dasheng also admitted he hadn’t escaped this fate.

But in his heart, there was always a voice of caution, reminding him several times.

Those moments were when he went out to unwind.

Did he really just want to unwind?

Shanghai City is so big, with all sorts of scenic spots around.

Did he really need to run around by himself?

It was all about wanting a quiet space to reconnect with the real-life hustle and bustle.

To pull himself out of that carried-away state.

It was, in essence, a journey of self-rescue for his soul.

So he didn’t overly blame his cousin in front of him; after all, throughout these years, his progress has been evident.

He’s also made remarkable contributions to his career.

So after pondering for a moment, he said: "I’ll still keep your position as General Manager, but for now, let the vice managers handle the company’s affairs."

As Sun Dacheng tried to interject, he interrupted him.

"Don’t rush to object; I’m not taking away your power nor am I playing some ’cup of wine to release power’ game."

"But I’m giving you a long vacation, whether it’s spending time with your family and children or traveling and unwinding, it’s all fine—adjust your mindset, summarize your recent personal gains and losses, and when you’re ready, come find me. Once you pass my assessment, you’ll still be the top person in charge of the company."

Seeing his continued hesitance, Sun Dasheng reassured him, "This company is your hard work, and the management team consists of your handpicked trusted aides. What are you worried about?"

"I won’t substitute other management personnel while you’re away, so rest assured."

With Sun Dasheng’s assurance, Sun Dacheng finally spoke up, "Brother, I’ll listen to you."

Perhaps worried he’d fall apart, Sun Dasheng patted his shoulder in comfort: "Well, making mistakes isn’t scary; reflection is key—knowing and improving upon one’s mistakes is invaluable."

"I’m expecting your triumphant return."

Hearing his brother’s sincere words, Sun Dacheng was moved.

He knew his brother was looking out for him.

If it weren’t for family.

If it were another company, making such a mistake, there would be no place for him.

He’d surely have been kicked out long ago. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

After sending Sun Dacheng off.

Sun Dasheng was lost in thought.

You see, when a company grows big, it often develops big-company problems.

These problems, frankly, are almost inevitable for every large company.

But the sooner they’re identified and addressed, the better.

So he called his capable apprentice who recently took a position in the headquarters’ supervisory department, Ouyang Jiani.

He chatted with her about Star Point Company’s situation.

He knew that this incident surely wasn’t only his cousin Sun Dacheng’s problem.

But rather, the entire company had developed a sense of ’arrogance.’

So when faced with some basic errors, there should have been a robust inspection mechanism.

He promised Sun Dacheng not to introduce other management personnel, but didn’t say they couldn’t clear out those who were idling and promote the company’s foundational staff, right?

He emphasized this point with his capable apprentice.

On the call, Ouyang Jiani confidently said, "Master, rest assured, I’ll take this opportunity during the correction period to weed out the unqualified personnel and replace them with outstanding people."

"Yes, running water doesn’t rot, and a door hinge doesn’t decay—our company’s promotion mechanism mustn’t be a decorative pillow; it needs to be effective so the company can grow healthily."

"Oh, Master, I think I’ve discovered your secret."

"What secret?"

"Hehe, is establishing this supervisory department a way of leveraging anti-corruption to facilitate personnel changes?"

"..."

Did I have this idea?

Today’s events were indeed coincidental.

Sun Dasheng seemed not to have meant to use anti-corruption as a pretext for any internal struggles.
