Chapter 1663 Personnel Changes

When Zhao Fusheng spoke with Zhang Qian, he did not appeal to personal feelings.

Business is business, and personal is personal. The saying that loyalty and friendship are priceless is truly hollow; everyone has their own demands, and no one can allow others to squander their goodwill without limit.

Even though Zhang Qian was just a poor kid fresh out of the army when he first followed Zhao Fusheng, now he was no longer that destitute man.

He had his own loved ones, his own future. Even if everything he had was given by Zhao Fusheng, Zhao Fusheng was unwilling to use that to dictate Zhang Qian's actions.

He would only, as chairman, tell Zhang Qian, his subordinate, where he hoped Zhang Qian would go.

“Why do you care about that…”

Zhang Qian shot Zhao Fusheng a glare and asked bluntly.

They had just been discussing business; now naturally they were talking about personal matters.

“Look at you, I only heard it from my wife,” Zhao Fusheng said with a chuckle to Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian snorted, clearly not intending to entertain Zhao Fusheng, obviously unwilling to say more.

With a few light laughs, Zhao Fusheng stopped teasing Zhang Qian and waved his hand: “Enough of that. I’ll be going now. You take care of things here, no problem?”

“No problem.”

Zhang Qian nodded.

After all, the person taking over was Hu Donghai, so there was no need to worry about any issues.

That was the advantage of old acquaintances: the entire Future Security, from top to bottom, came from the military. They were comrades-in-arms. Hu Donghai had originally been a company commander. The reason Zhang Qian could run the company was because of his relationship with Zhao Fusheng. Now that Hu Donghai was taking over, there would be no discontent.

“Alright then.” Zhao Fusheng said no more and left the company.

…

…

“Old Hu, make preparations to take over Zhang Qian’s position.”

Zhao Fusheng sat in the car and said to Hu Donghai, who was in the passenger seat.

Hu Donghai was startled: “Me?”

He was genuinely taken aback. Why, out of the blue, was he supposed to take over Zhang Qian’s position?

“Yes, you,” Zhao Fusheng nodded. “Zhang Qian is going to the Supervision Department. You go to Future Security as general manager. They’re all your men anyway, so it should be fine, right?”

“No problem, but will the military-style management work?” Hu Donghai said with a wry smile.

He didn’t mind it; for him, this was undoubtedly a promotion, showing that Zhao Fusheng regarded him as a confidant to make such a decision.

But the issue was, Hu Donghai felt that since they were all discharged veterans, if he still used military management methods, the subordinates might not be convinced.

“What’s wrong with that?”

Zhao Fusheng didn’t care and said flatly: “If anyone is dissatisfied, let them leave.”

By now, he was certainly qualified to say such things.

“Uh, alright then.” Hu Donghai nodded.

Zhao Fusheng was the boss; he would do whatever he was told.

“You notify President Zheng later to follow up on this,” Zhao Fusheng then instructed Wu Sijie.

As the chairman’s assistant, it was his duty to follow up.

Wu Sijie quickly nodded: “Yes, Chairman, I understand.”

This was his responsibility, so he dared not be negligent.

And in his heart, Wu Sijie was quite excited!

Yes, excited!

He was a smart man, exceptionally clever, and he could naturally understand that if even a bodyguard driver like Hu Donghai could be entrusted with an important task by Zhao Fusheng, then as Zhao Fusheng’s trusted assistant, he would surely have a good arrangement in the future.

No one doesn’t want to advance, especially someone like Wu Sijie, who had ambition in his bones and hoped to go further.

As for becoming an enemy of Zhao Fusheng or betraying him, Wu Sijie had never even considered it.

What a joke!

As Zhao Fusheng’s assistant, Wu Sijie knew better than anyone how much wealth Zhao Fusheng now possessed.

It was a figure beyond ordinary imagination!

Often, if a person’s status and position are too far apart from yours, you won’t have thoughts of rivalry.

That was the truth. For example, Ma Xiaoyun and Ma Huateng, or Bill Gates—once we know how much wealth they have, it’s hard to think about doing anything to them.

Because you can’t turn all their wealth into your own; even if they gave you one percent, it would be enough for you to live several lifetimes.

“By the way, after you take office, arrange to donate money and supplies to the border troops,” Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment and said to Hu Donghai.

Hu Donghai was taken aback: “Where?”

“For the forest police, donate some vehicles. For the southwest region, give whatever they need. The money will come from the group’s accounts. Keep it around a hundred million.”

Zhao Fusheng said to Hu Donghai: “In the name of Future Security.”

To be honest, he had only made this decision on a whim.

He had always had great respect for the military, especially the soldiers guarding the borders.

He understood a truth: there has never been a time of peace and quiet; it’s just that someone else carries the burden for us.

Without experiencing it, few know what hardships those soldiers stationed at the borders endure.

On plateaus and snowy lands, among high mountains and steep ridges, sometimes hundreds of kilometers of desolate wilderness, yet for those boundary markers, they still have to patrol constantly.

Hu Donghai was naturally very happy about this and quickly nodded.

Having arranged these matters, Zhao Fusheng let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

Last night, his daughter had cried for half the night, exhausting both him and Fan Baobao. He had to admit that raising a child was an extremely difficult task. Only now did he understand how much hardship his parents had endured in raising him.

Subsequently, Hu Donghai left Zhao Fusheng’s side and officially became the general manager of Future Security.

The outside world was not surprised by this. Future Security’s current business, aside from providing security services for some celebrities, mainly involved providing security for various subsidiaries of the Future Group.

In other words, the company was more like the security department of the Future Group.

Under these circumstances, who the general manager was didn’t matter to the outside world.

On the other hand, Future Security’s donation of a hundred million to support the construction of border troops pleased the authorities.

They were happy to see enterprises willing to accept discharged veterans, provide them with jobs, and in turn give back to the military.

As one leader put it, this was a company with a sense of social responsibility.

Even Zhao Fusheng himself didn’t expect that his casual gesture would earn Future Security extremely high praise from the authorities and even bring in a lot of business.

But that was a story for later.

…

…

Time passed quickly, and soon it was Children’s Day.

For his daughter’s first holiday, Zhao Fusheng had Fan Baobao carry the baby while he held Fan Beibei’s hand, and the family happily spent a day at the amusement park.

“Brother, when are we going out to play?”

On the way back, Fan Beibei asked excitedly.

Clearly, the little girl had been looking forward to Zhao Fusheng taking her out.

Zhao Fusheng smiled: “When you’re on summer vacation, okay?”

“Great! Great!”

Fan Beibei clapped her hands, full of excitement. Children love to play; for their age, playing is the most important and most attractive thing in the world.

Reasoning with young children is very difficult, so it’s best to go along with them and then get them to listen when they’re in a good mood.

This was a principle Zhao Fusheng had figured out after years of dealing with Fan Beibei.

Although he wasn’t very good at taking care of children, people always have to improve.

“Are you serious?”

After they got home, Fan Baobao asked Zhao Fusheng curiously: “Planning to take Beibei out during summer vacation?”

Zhao Fusheng nodded: “Yes, she’s still young now and doesn’t have a heavy study load. When she’s older, she won’t have time to go out.”

“That’s true.” Fan Baobao agreed with Zhao Fusheng’s view.

They had a consensus: no matter the family’s circumstances, children must study; otherwise, life will be very difficult later.

Knowledge changes not only a person’s fate but also the person themselves.
