Chapter 421: Chapter 421 Nuannuan, Let’s Elope (2)

How many people really know?!

"Wife, what are you thinking?" Xiao Yebai suddenly lifted his head, lightly raising his eyebrows toward Gu Nuan.

Gu Nuan seriously replied, "President Xiao, we should keep personal matters separate from work in the office."

The child pouted, and upon receiving a cold glance from her, he quickly composed himself, portraying an image of an exceptionally calm and excellent boss. He said, "Yes, I was just testing you, Employee Gu."

Zhong Qiaohui struggled to hold back, so as not to burst out laughing. Sitting opposite her, Fu Yubo’s expression was also barely holding back a smile.

No wonder people outside say that Master Xiao is crazy; it seems to be true.

Gu Nuan had grown accustomed to his ever-changing face at home. Those who didn’t understand him, like Zhong Qiaohui and Fu Yubo, were definitely in for a tough time.

Seeing her husband sitting in the chair, twirling a cheap office ballpoint pen, totally unlike Chen Jiaming, who always kept a pricey fountain pen neatly tucked in his pocket, anyone who saw this would undoubtedly underestimate him.

Gu Nuan smiled slightly to herself, thinking about how, when a crocodile hunts, those selected as targets almost always perish from taking it too lightly.

"Please speak, Employee Gu."

"I personally think that money is not the issue. The problems in the world that can be solved with money are not real problems. The hardest problems to solve are always people."

Gu Nuan’s words not only made Fu Yubo and Zhong Qiaohui fall into deep thought.

Just this simple opening remark undoubtedly redirected the entire team’s mindset to a completely new direction and path.

Zhong Qiaohui raised her head and smiled at Xiao Yebai, saying, "President Xiao, you’re right, I think—I understand what you mean now. Neither speed nor profit should be our primary considerations; the first thing we should explore is the value of people. Only by doing so, we might discover the greatest treasure. Often, the greatest treasures are those that are most hidden."

In response, Fu Yubo appeared more practical and shared his own view: "However, during initial screening, all we have on our hands is data, no people. Ultimately, we have to dig something out of the numbers first."

"You’re right," Xiao Yebai pointed at him with the pen, "So, how do you plan to dig treasures out of these numbers then?"

Fu Yubo was again shocked, certainly not expecting to be questioned so quickly. One could say Xiao Yebai’s mental agility was something he had never encountered before.

He was left speechless in an instant.

"To be honest, if we include the very early stage planning proposals, our company’s ratio of failed projects to successful ones should be at least one thousand to one, which is quite low for a successful company. With tens of thousands of failed projects, how are you going to find them? By looking at numbers? That would be more like reading tea leaves."

Ah, indeed as venomous-tongued as the rumors say. Zhong Qiaohui, clutching her chest, felt genuinely a bit scared, leaning closer to Gu Nuan, she then said, "How is he scarier than I imagined?"

In Gu Nuan’s mind, the image of the child at home asking for candy reappeared.

They really seemed like two different people.

Xiao Yebai when not serious is one thing, but once he becomes serious, he is like an avatar of death.

After being continuously questioned, Fu Yubo’s head hung so low it could almost reach the floor; his self-confidence was probably almost completely drained.

Being defeated so thoroughly was beyond doubt.

Xiao Yebai also felt it was time to stop; after all, they are financiers, investment specialists, educated with so much textbook knowledge and experienced in the ways of the world. If they really treated the world like a textbook and only focused on numbers, they should have said goodbye long ago.
