Chapter 2219 The Candidate

The general manager of Sina resigned!

This news caught everyone off guard.

Even Zhao Fusheng himself hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

"Zhou Nianzu?"

Zhao Fusheng stared wide-eyed at a resume in front of him, then at Zheng Yao sitting across from him: "Are you kidding me?"

"No."

Zheng Yao was quite calm: "Why would I be kidding?"

"If you're not kidding, why are you showing me his resume?"

Zhao Fusheng said helplessly: "You're not really planning to hire him as the general manager of Future Technology, are you?"

"After much thought, he's a very qualified professional manager."

Zheng Yao said seriously to Zhao Fusheng: "If Future Technology wants to develop better, he's undoubtedly the most suitable candidate."

"..."

Zhao Fusheng was speechless.

To be honest, he had long been considering using professional managers to replace the people around him.

But he hadn't expected Zheng Yao to set her sights on Future Technology.

Admittedly, professional managers are good.

A qualified professional manager plays a crucial role in the development of a company.

This is no joke; in Zhao Fusheng's view, a good professional manager must first have team leadership skills and the ability to quickly integrate into a new team. As a professional manager, competence is a prerequisite, and possessing exceptional leadership will earn the respect of the business owner.

And as the core leader of a team, one must also have the ability to quickly integrate into a new team; otherwise, a prolonged磨合期 will greatly diminish one's authority.

Facing an unfamiliar team, others are often on guard; how to dispel their concerns depends on your handling ability—and this is an inevitable process before you prepare to make changes for the company.

Furthermore, professional managers must also be more efficient than others and logical in handling problems. Speed is a manifestation of ability and a spirit of striving; for matters within your职责, you naturally need to make quick decisions and communicate quickly. Before others have even thought of it, you've already completed the action.

And this is just the beginning.

It's also the bare minimum.

In the eyes of many bosses, a professional manager is essentially an employee brought in to manage the company's daily affairs. If a manager is arrogant, the outcome is predictable.

As for other aspects, those involve personal cultivation, which in Zhao Fusheng's view, are not as important.

But regardless, a good manager is undoubtedly very beneficial to the overall development of the company.

However, the problem is that directly hiring Zhou Nianzu as the general manager of Future Technology and making Dong Guoxiang the deputy general manager in charge of R&D seems inappropriate to Zhao Fusheng.

"I think it's better to restructure Future Technology."

Zhao Fusheng thought for a moment and said to Zheng Yao.

At the end of the day, he was still the same old Zhao Fusheng who cherished old ties.

He couldn't bear to let Dong Guoxiang lose face all at once.

"Restructure?"

Zheng Yao frowned slightly; clearly, Zhao Fusheng's words surprised her.

Although she wanted to consider Dong Guoxiang's面子, in Zheng Yao's view, Dong Guoxiang was truly unfit to be the leader of a company—a fact proven several times over.

To be honest, if it weren't for Dong Guoxiang's身份 as an old-timer who had followed Zhao Fusheng for years, she would have even considered replacing him.

After all, his business skills weren't top-notch either.

Friends are friends, but Zheng Yao knew well that her position determined that when considering issues, she couldn't just look at relationships but also had to consider the overall development of the company.

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "Yes, restructure."

With that, he laid out his ideas.

In fact, restructuring was just a formality: let Dong Guoxiang serve as the president of Future Technology, and let Zhou Nianzu take the position of general manager.

Zheng Yao smiled, but upon reflection, she understood Zhao Fusheng's intention—he was clearly trying to save Dong Guoxiang's face.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yao sighed.

Zhao Fusheng, though glib, was still someone who valued old friendships.

...

...

Of course, this was just Zheng Yao's wishful thinking.

"You mean, you haven't contacted him yet?"

Zhao Fusheng stared wide-eyed at the serious-faced Zheng Yao and asked.

"Yes."

Zheng Yao nodded: "I only came up with this idea after hearing about his resignation, so I contacted you right away."

Zhao Fusheng slapped his forehead, at a loss for how to praise Zheng Yao's actions.

This woman was truly overconfident.

Although in fact, Zhao Fusheng also felt she should be this confident.

But the problem was, you should at least contact Zhou Nianzu; otherwise, what if he had already made other arrangements? That would be awkward.

"Contact him quickly."

Zhao Fusheng said helplessly to Zheng Yao: "Contact that Zhou Nianzu and tell him we're planning... no, you contact him and say I want to see him."

On second thought, it might be more appropriate for him to handle it personally.

Zheng Yao naturally had no objections; she nodded and left Zhao Fusheng's office.

Soon, Zhou Nianzu, who was about to go on vacation abroad, received the news.

"Zhao Fusheng of Future Group wants to see me?"

Zhou Nianzu was stunned when he heard the news.

He really hadn't expected Zhao Fusheng to want to see him.

The matter with Sina Weibo had nothing to do with him anymore; Weibo had been rectified, and Sina's stock price had gone through a roller-coaster ride.

Logically, this matter was over by now.

But instead of dealing with those Sina executives, Zhao Fusheng wanted to see him.

What did that mean?

Regardless, the fact that such a big shot would condescend to see him was undoubtedly a great honor for Zhou Nianzu.

After all, Zhao Fusheng's status was such that not everyone was qualified to be invited to lunch by him.

Especially since this man was famously low-key.

It was said that he had even declined invitations from the Great Hall of the People several times.

To be honest, after hearing that Zhao Fusheng wanted to see him, Zhou Nianzu felt a secret delight.

Could it be that his talent had finally been recognized?

With this in mind, Zhou Nianzu changed his flight ticket and took a car to the headquarters of Future Group.

He thought the meeting with Zhao Fusheng would be over in an hour or so.

But clearly, he was wrong.

A few hours later, Zhou Nianzu decided it was better to just cancel his ticket.
