Chapter 1415: A New Chapter

There is a habit within the system. To put it metaphorically, if a plan has been drawn up, under normal circumstances, a sensible person would certainly follow the plan and get the work done as quickly as possible. But in officialdom, many cadres often like to artificially create some difficulties, as if encountering no difficulties in their work would be insufficient to showcase their wisdom.

Zhao Fusheng really disliked dealing with officials.

Because in Zhao Fusheng's view, many leading cadres always treated the common people as if they were idiots, using them again and again, and finally cutting them off like leeks.

Sometimes Zhao Fusheng felt that if every ordinary person had the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood, then the ambitious people in this world would have nowhere to hide and would end up as rats crossing the street, beaten by everyone.

That scene would surely be wonderful.

Of course, Zhao Fusheng also knew that could only exist in his dreams.

Some things were not something he, a commoner, could change.

Such was the national condition; one could only choose to adapt.

As the saying goes, life is like rape; since you can't change it, you can only choose to adapt and enjoy it.

The reason for such reflections was that recently, after Future Group ventured into the real estate industry, it encountered many problems. As CEO, Zheng Yao relayed the feedback to Zhao Fusheng, and he felt a bit emotional.

But Zhao Fusheng knew that such matters were beyond even the Heavenly Emperor himself, let alone him. After all, the Chinese government departments had always been this sluggish.

"The official-standard ideology is a沉淀 formed by thousands of years of history," Zhao Fusheng said into the phone, laughing to Zheng Yao on the other end. "It's not something any one person can change, so there's no need for you to get angry. Just do what you need to do. As for this matter, let Xue Yuanfang handle it. He's the company's public relations director; he's the most suitable person to deal with this."

Blinking her eyes, Zheng Yao on the other end of the phone laughed silently.

She naturally understood Zhao Fusheng's intention. Xue Yuanfang's identity as a princeling was undoubtedly a formidable weapon for many people. As Zhao Fusheng said, as the head of Future Group's public relations department, Xue Yuanfang was indeed very suitable for such external liaison work.

Zheng Yao couldn't wait to see what those so-called leaders, who always put on airs and sought kickbacks, would dare to say in front of Xue Yuanfang, a true-blue official scion.

This wasn't because Zheng Yao had a dark mentality; it was simply that recently, due to the real estate company's affairs, she had been severely harassed and was on the verge of exploding.

Hearing Zhao Fusheng's arrangement, Zheng Yao's mood suddenly became cheerful.

"He will definitely agree," Zheng Yao said to Zhao Fusheng with a smile.

Zhao Fusheng nodded, said nothing more, and hung up the phone.

Recently, because Fan Baobao was not at home, Zhao Fusheng spent most of his time taking care of Fan Beibei. After all, the little girl was studying here alone and had never had her father by her side since childhood. Many times, Zhao Fusheng actually played the role of a parent.

Although Fan Beibei was usually very well-behaved and said nothing, Zhao Fusheng actually knew that the girl was very sensitive inside. Seeing that other children had their parents with them, she kept silent but felt inferior in her heart.

In this world, a blade is actually gentle, because it can peel an apple for the one you love. What is truly sharp is the human heart.

Only when a person has no worries about food and clothing are they qualified to use time to complain about fate.

Zhao Fusheng did not want Fan Beibei to become a bitter person; he only hoped that the girl could grow up happily.

Perhaps this was one of his obsessions.

After all, since his transmigration and rebirth, Fan Beibei had embodied Zhao Fusheng's beautiful hopes for the future. He truly wished that the girl could live a carefree life forever.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

At that moment, Fan Beibei's voice sounded, interrupting Zhao Fusheng's thoughts. Looking down, he saw Fan Beibei hugging his leg, tilting her head, blinking her big eyes, and asking curiously.

"Nothing," Zhao Fusheng chuckled softly, stroking the little girl's head. "Beibei, why did you come downstairs?"

Originally, when he was on the phone, Fan Beibei was sleeping upstairs. Zhao Fusheng deliberately went downstairs to make the call, but unexpectedly, after finishing the call, the little girl had woken up.

He thought he had woken Fan Beibei up.

"I woke up and couldn't see my brother, so I came downstairs," the little girl said with a smile.

She wouldn't say that she had groggily come looking for him because she opened her eyes and didn't see him accompanying her.

"Beibei is a proud girl," the little girl thought to herself.

…

…

Children are actually easy to coax; as long as you can satisfy all their reasonable and unreasonable demands, then to them, you are their best friend.

That was how Zhao Fusheng was. In Fan Beibei's perception, no matter what request she made, even if sometimes she was scolded by her sister and mother, Zhao Fusheng would still help her fulfill her wishes.

Under such circumstances, Fan Beibei naturally regarded Zhao Fusheng as her best and closest person.

During the days when Fan Baobao was not at home, the little girl needed Zhao Fusheng to coax her to sleep every night, and the first thing she did when she opened her eyes in the morning was to look for Zhao Fusheng.

To be honest, Zhao Fusheng felt particularly happy about this feeling, as if he had raised a daughter.

In the blink of an eye, the day arrived at the end of November. With 2005 about to pass, Zhao Fusheng knew that China's internet and even the entire society would enter a fast track of development.

"Be prepared. This is the best of times, and also the worst of times," Zhao Fusheng said seriously at Future Group's board meeting, facing the company's shareholders and middle and senior management. "Saying it's the best of times is because a company worth only hundreds of thousands today might be worth tens of billions in a few years. Conversely, saying it's the worst of times is because a company worth tens of billions today might, if careless, file for bankruptcy protection in a few years."

As he spoke, Zhao Fusheng's gaze swept around the conference room, passing over everyone's face. Finally, he slowly spoke: "How far Future Group can go is entrusted to all of you here!"

For a moment, the entire conference room fell silent. Everyone knew that this was the legendary chairman's genuine entrustment.

From today onward, Future Group would officially begin a new chapter.
