Chapter 1396 Everyone Has to Grow Up

The night was already deep.

After her frenzy, Fan Baobao fell into a deep sleep. The moonlight poured its gentle silver radiance into every corner of the room. Though no lights were on, under the moon's gaze, the room exuded a soft, tender atmosphere.

Zhao Fusheng leaned against the headboard, gazing at the night outside the window, silent.

They say a man's sage moment is when he is most clear-headed. There is some truth to that; at least now, Zhao Fusheng's heart was at peace, as if immersed in his own world.

Everything came naturally, without any tension.

A plain life always relaxes and delights the heart. Over time, one's senses seem to merge completely into every detail of such a life, no longer desiring any change or upheaval.

Zhao Fusheng actually enjoyed this tranquil life, but he knew it wouldn't do. There were things he had to do; he couldn't stay like this forever.

Of course, he also knew that if one's desires were too strong, they would cloud one's reason. Focusing too much on certain things would prevent one from grasping the whole picture and its subtle changes. Attracted by a single leaf, one could not see the entire forest.

If ambition is too great and actions too ruthless, there is no room for turning back.

This is what is meant by 'what is too rigid easily breaks, and going too far is as bad as not going far enough.'

This was life experience Zhao Fusheng had summed up from countless failures and lessons in his previous life. He had thought he would never need to use these experiences again in this life, but now he suddenly found that some things truly exceeded his expectations.

Future Group had developed too fast, so fast that Zhao Fusheng himself hadn't even mentally prepared.

It was like planning to buy an old car, but accidentally turning it into a Bumblebee. The problem, however, was that the driver wasn't an experienced old hand but a novice just starting out. Then problems came one after another.

The only saving grace was that although Zhao Fusheng was a low-level newbie who hadn't delved deep into the business world, this newbie retained some experience from his previous life, which could help him turn danger into safety at critical moments.

This was very important!

…

…

The next morning, as soon as Fan Baobao opened her eyes, she saw Zhao Fusheng dressing to go out. Somewhat surprised, she asked in astonishment, “Where are you going?”

As Zhao Fusheng's wife, she had the right to ask.

But strangely, Zhao Fusheng, who was usually polite to her, brushed her off with a bizarre excuse and finally said, “It's like this: I have some matters to attend to.”

Fan Baobao was taken aback. Her woman's sixth sense told her that Zhao Fusheng was most likely hiding something from her.

Feeling an itch in her heart like a cat scratching, Fan Baobao blinked and said to Zhao Fusheng, “If anything happens, remember to tell me, okay?”

Zhao Fusheng smiled and nodded, “Don't worry, if necessary, I'll definitely tell you.”

Since they were already married, Zhao Fusheng naturally wouldn't have any secrets to hide from Fan Baobao, except for the biggest secret of his rebirth.

Seeing that Zhao Fusheng didn't intend to say more, Fan Baobao didn't press further. The two left the house one after the other.

In the following days, Zhao Fusheng seemed to have time on his hands and actually began to review the entire company's personnel work.

Zhao Fusheng waited until Fan Baobao had left before getting into the car and driving away from home.

Soon, the car stopped at Future Technology.

"What brings you here?" Seeing Zhao Fusheng get out of the car, Dong Guoxiang, who had been waiting at the door after receiving a call in advance, asked Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng smiled. "Come on, let's talk in your office."

Arriving at Dong Guoxiang's office, after the secretary served tea and withdrew, Zhao Fusheng said to Dong Guoxiang with a smile, "So, has the game project started?"

Dong Guoxiang nodded. "Yes, I've already assigned people to take charge of this matter."

After all, the company's scale was no longer what it used to be; he had more than just a handful of programmers under him now. For developing a game, a dozen or so people were enough.

"Do you have anyone trustworthy under you?" Zhao Fusheng asked Dong Guoxiang.

Dong Guoxiang was taken aback. "I do. Do you need them?"

Obviously, Zhao Fusheng's question had a reason; he wouldn't bring this up for no reason.

Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment and said to Dong Guoxiang, "What do you think about taking on a part-time role managing the company headquarters?"

"Me?"

Dong Guoxiang was startled, then shook his head. "No, I don't have the ability."

He knew his own limitations well; his skills were barely enough for Future Technology. If he went to the group headquarters, Dong Guoxiang was sure that the myriad of complex affairs would leave him completely disoriented.

"What, is there a problem at headquarters?" After a pause, Dong Guoxiang asked Zhao Fusheng.

In his view, unless there was a problem at headquarters, Zhao Fusheng wouldn't think of using him.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head. "It's like this: I'm considering whether the company should set up a supervision department to check internal issues. After all, with so many things going on in the group now, there are bound to be shortcomings here and there. The existence of the supervision department is to prevent certain people from coasting through the days or embezzling."

Clearly, in plain terms, he intended to establish an internal investigation department.

In a big forest, there are all kinds of birds. Even Zhao Fusheng couldn't guarantee that Future Group had no dark corners. He hadn't thought about it before, but this time he planned to conduct a thorough rectification.

And the person Zhao Fusheng thought most suitable to head this supervision department was Dong Guoxiang.

After all, whether in terms of seniority or personal integrity, he was the most appropriate candidate.

After hearing Zhao Fusheng's words, Dong Guoxiang remained silent for a long time.

He wasn't stupid; he naturally understood that this soon-to-be-established supervision department would undoubtedly be the most thankless position in the entire group. Though it carried high authority and power, it also meant that all the unpleasant tasks would fall on him.

And as Zhao Fusheng said, among the people he trusted most, Dong Guoxiang was undoubtedly the most suitable for this position. Others, like Dong Chenxi or Bai Jie, were women, and they inherently had shortcomings for this role.

"I know that putting you in this position will definitely make you enemies, so I won't force you. I just hope you'll consider it." Zhao Fusheng looked at Dong Guoxiang seriously. "If you're willing, you can continue to serve as the general manager of Future Technology concurrently."

"That's not necessary!"

After a long silence, Dong Guoxiang suddenly gritted his teeth and said.

Clearly, he had made up his mind.
