Any choice that’s not absolute enough often leads to internal strife.

“What will you do if you can’t find a suitable COO?”

Rarely, Zhao Hongjin took the initiative to change the subject, and she had finally learned not to nitpick.

Perhaps this was a good thing?

“I’m too tired today and haven’t thought about this problem.

Let’s just get through these few days of live streaming, and if all else fails, just hire more headhunters.”

The great Hayek, his hands gave birth to so many useful services, Cheng Daqi had plenty of options.

“You’re really amazing, Daqi.”

Zhao Hongjin adjusted the backrest of her chair and lay down in the passenger seat.

Cheng Daqi didn’t feel tired until he mentioned it, and the girl with the peach blossom eyes felt tired too.

“Eh?

Is that a compliment?” CEO Cheng answered with a laugh.

“Of course, you’ve gained the recognition of CEO Sun, and that of so many netizens, including your sensitivity to topics, which is very impressive.”

MOST people’s talents don’t vary much, but CEO Cheng’s abilities and talents were clearly far above average.

“Not clever enough with the praise, I kind of like it, hahaha.”

“Kind of like what?”

“Like you praising me, CEO Zhao.”

“The title of executive assistant you’ve given me is quite strange, considering I haven’t really done anything.”

“It’s branding, can’t exactly introduce you as just a college student, can I?”

“But I am just an ordinary college student.

After meeting you and CEO Sun, I realized just how much I lack.

Today, CEO Sun…”

“What about CEO Sun?”

“emmm, nothing…”

The charm of CEO Sun’s kick is something Zhao Hongjin will never forget in this lifetime, splendid!

“Growth isn’t linear.

When you’ve accumulated enough foundation, that’s when you take off.

And once you soar, you’ll realize not everyone is that impressive.

I have my woes; CEO Sun has his, and even the most successful people have moments of helplessness.”

“CEO Sun has things he’s helpless about?”

Zhao Hongjin really couldn’t imagine a man as successful as Sun Dongxin having anything to worry about.

“Do you know about the richest family on Heron Island?” Cheng Daqi glanced at the enormous advertising screen outside the car window and asked with a smile.

“I don’t know much about Heron Island…”

“Look, over there.” Cheng Daqi pointed to the billboard outside the window.

“Anta?” Zhao Hongjin seemed to understand.

“Yeah, during Dongxin’s first attempt at diversification, we deeply explored the domestic retail channel construction and cooperated with that family.

Later, CEO Sun got badly tricked by them.

Result, hahaha, now CEO Sun avoids them whenever he’s at business meetings on Heron Island.”

“Got tricked badly?”

“Their diversification was too successful, their asset scale is many times that of Dongxin Group combined.

Just think about it, doesn’t that make CEO Sun look foolish?”

“But wouldn’t normal business cooperation not impact these things?”

“Actually, it does affect things.

Perhaps whenever CEO Sun sees a member of their family, he might end up sleepless that night.

Dongxin has been trying to reform for years, but as you know, it’s very difficult for even the strongest of people to take drastic measures like cutting off a limb.

Resolve, resistance, timing, means, you need all of them.”

—————–

The next day, in the morning, in the chairman’s office of Dongxin Group, Gu Chaofei entered with a tablet in hand.

“Chaofei?

What’s up?”

Sun Dongxin had slept well last night, so he looked quite spirited.

“Last night’s live stream was a hit, take a look.” Gu Chaofei tried to hand over the tablet, but CEO Sun didn’t take it.

“I saw it, Xiao Cheng’s team is extraordinary; they edited so many videos overnight.”

Gu Chaofei sat opposite at the tea table, adeptly brewing tea for Sun Dongxin.

“As for looking for a COO for Shanhaiguan, why not find someone from within Dongxin?”

These words were very interesting; Sun Dongxin just shook his head in response.

When Cheng Daqi had asked him to find someone, he made it very clear: he hoped to introduce some fresh blood from outside the group, and Sun Dongxin also had that kind of magnanimity.

But just because he had that magnanimity didn’t mean his subordinates did.

To the people inside Dongxin Group, Shanhaiguan was part of the Dongxin system, having accepted Dongxin’s investment and operating out of the Dongxin Building – if they weren’t insiders, then what were they?

“CEO Sun, we have a lot of talents at Dongxin.

It shouldn’t be difficult to find someone who meets CEO Cheng’s requirements.

I’m not saying that live recruitment is bad, but I worry that it might bring in unreliable people.”

Smart people even make a grab for resources in the most dignified way.

Although Gu Chaofei was the crown prince of Dongxin and might even initiate a new round of reforms for Dongxin in the future, this didn’t mean he was anything special; he was just another self-interested creature.

As one of the most important figures in the Dongxin system besides Sun Dongxin, he represented the future and interests of a group of people and would do his utmost to secure benefits for his own within reasonable bounds.

“The main goal is publicity.

As for who the final COO will be, it’s not important.

Shanhaiguan is a cultural media company; the live event is really for promoting Shanhaiguan.”

Sun Dongxin knew what Gu Chaofei and the others were thinking, but he didn’t wish to take a stand, deflecting the comment with a kind of evasive skill.

Speaking of which, Sun Dongxin was somewhat disappointed with Gu Chaofei’s attitude.

Xiao Gu only cared about his own turf, forgetting that he should be the successor, the one to carry the bowl steady and level.

He still needed more polishing!

“So, CEO Sun, will you go to the live broadcast tonight?”

Xiao Gu didn’t know that his small move to probe for resources extended his probation period in Sun Ge’s eyes considerably.

“Of course, I’m going.

The netizens are quite interesting.

Just last night, in just three hours, I came to understand a lot of what young people think.

To run a business, they say you need to respect the market environment, conduct proper research of the environment, but the environment is made up of people.

I now also need to interact more with various young people to understand their thoughts.”

This attitude of continuous improvement and constant adjustment was also a key reason why Sun Dongxin had come this far.

“CEO Sun, why don’t you take a look at this?”

In the end, Xiao Gu handed the tablet over to Sun Dongxin.

Dear_露微凉（Lu）”Help, CEO Sun’s gaze at Cheng Daqi is so tender, like a domineering CEO looking at his sweet little wife.”

Lan Ahlan（Wan）”Sisters, I’m thinking of a forbidden book where on the surface, the domineering Cheng Daqi is actually a little puppy, longing for the embrace of CEO Sun.”

(Reply to the original poster) “Oh my God, is there any artist willing to draw this?

I’ll definitely buy it if it’s drawn.”

Bo Bo Xiao Wanzi (Qing) “I suggest not to joke about this; they’re not celebrities to be pursued.”

These comments came from Weibo, fervent fangirls using the most intense words to bomb Sun Dongxin’s heart.

As someone with sense, Gu Chaofei shouldn’t have shown his boss these things; his boss probably knew about them already but just didn’t want to bring it up, yet Gu Chaofei still did.

How much of it is out of loyalty, trying to protect their boss’s reputation, and how much is to sow discord?

It’s unclear, totally unclear.

This was the embodiment of the dilemma Sun Dongxin faced.

Gu Chaofei seemed well-intentioned, and logically it was also well-intentioned, but was he really?

Of course, he wasn’t!

Sun Dongxin was well aware of this, but could he say Gu Chaofei’s intentions were not good?

These ridiculous comments wouldn’t affect even a single hair on Cheng Daqi or Sun Dongxin.

But by laying them out openly, Gu Chaofei might bring about consequences, especially for Cheng Daqi.

Unable to respond to such seemingly well-intentioned scheming, Sun Dongxin wouldn’t develop any subjective prejudice against Cheng Daqi because of this incident.

But the brilliance of an overt strategy lies in this: from now on, whenever Sun Dongxin saw Cheng Daqi, he would be reminded of this incident – like a thorn, slowly accumulating influence over the bigger picture over time.

In the office politics of Dongxin Group, most of the upper echelons are professional.

Sun Dongxin was already “enlightened” enough, but even he didn’t know how to handle this matter.

CEO Sun, this is tough.
