Chapter 1166: We're Rich!

Zhang Qian was a man who appeared dull but was actually wise; there was no doubt about that. Even Zhao Fusheng had to admit that sometimes the guy had an indescribable cleverness.

Zhao Fusheng actually envied Zhang Qian for being like that, but unfortunately, he himself couldn't live that way.

"You, you just can't be more diligent," Zhao Fusheng said helplessly to Zhang Qian. The guy had always been so lazy. Although he had ability, Zhao Fusheng could also see that Zhang Qian simply didn't want to leave his side to work.

Zhang Qian shrugged, not intending to answer Zhao Fusheng at all.

"Let's go, let's go. To the company." Zhao Fusheng shook his head helplessly. He had no way to deal with it and could only let Zhang Qian decide for himself.

Driving to the headquarters of Future Group, taking the executive elevator upstairs, Zhao Fusheng said to Zhang Qian as he walked, "Notify Dong Chenxi and Zheng Yao to come to my office for a meeting."

Zhang Qian nodded and started making phone calls as he walked.

He also had his own position in the group company, officially titled Director of the Chairman's Office of Future Group. Usually, when Zhao Fusheng came to the company, he would go directly to the office, and Zhang Qian naturally acted as the office director.

As for secretaries...

Well, there was a saying: when there's work, the secretary does it; when there's no work, you do the secretary. Although Zhao Fusheng liked this saying, unfortunately, he had too many and too varied tasks, and he wasn't used to having a female secretary by his side. Apart from Zheng Yao placing a secretary at the door of the chairman's office, the only person Zhao Fusheng usually had with him was Zhang Qian, his steward.

Soon, Zheng Yao and Dong Chenxi arrived together at Zhao Fusheng's office. The two came in together, still chatting about something as they entered, clearly in the middle of a conversation.

"What's up? Is there something?" Seeing their serious expressions, Zhao Fusheng found it a bit strange and couldn't help asking.

"Nothing, we were just discussing what kind of cosmetics are suitable to use." Zheng Yao looked a bit puzzled, glanced at Zhao Fusheng, and replied.

At that moment, Zhao Fusheng felt utterly speechless.

Imagining the two of them seriously discussing cosmetics, Zhao Fusheng found it weird no matter how he thought about it. But then he smiled wryly, because regardless, he had indeed forgotten that besides being formidable businesswomen who could command the market, they were also unmarried single women.

"My intuition tells me you're thinking something disrespectful." Zheng Yao rolled her eyes at Zhao Fusheng and said irritably.

Zhao Fusheng shrugged, looking innocent: "How could that be? You're mistaken. Do I seem like someone with such deep thoughts?"

"Heh, you don't seem like it; you are." Dong Chenxi unceremoniously exposed Zhao Fusheng's true nature and said irritably, "A guy like you, who can ruin people without paying compensation, who would believe you're not someone with deep thoughts?"

The expression on Zhao Fusheng's face instantly stiffened, and he looked helplessly at Dong Chenxi.

In the end, Zhao Fusheng sighed, glared at Dong Chenxi, and said to Zheng Yao, "Now I really regret calling the two of you over together."

Dong Chenxi and Zheng Yao exchanged glances and then burst into laughter.

Compared to the tense and serious atmosphere in other companies, the atmosphere among Future Group's top management was relatively harmonious. The reason was simple: these people had been through the grind together since the days of the small advertising studio.

Now, within Future Group, many people were discussing that there were actually factions within the company.

The most obvious were those middle-level managers who graduated from Ninghai Normal University. Most of them were veterans who joined the company when Future Advertising was still in Ninghai. Even if they didn't become high-level executives like Dong Chenxi, they at least secured middle-level positions.

Then there were the people Dong Chenxi recruited after the company moved to Binzhou. Those individuals played a significant role in the process of market expansion, helping the company become one of the three major advertising companies in the northern region.

After that came the factions of the various subsidiaries that had been carved out.

For Zhao Fusheng, this was actually a normal thing, and he didn't bother to inquire, because as long as he, the boss, was still around, and as long as people like Dong Chenxi and Zheng Yao didn't cause trouble, the company's operations wouldn't have problems.

"Alright, tell us, what's the matter calling us over?" Zheng Yao sat opposite Zhao Fusheng and asked curiously, "There doesn't seem to be anything major happening in the company lately."

As the CEO of the group company, she naturally knew all the company's situations. In Zheng Yao's impression, there really wasn't anything important in the company recently.

She paused, looked at Zhao Fusheng suspiciously, and said, "You're not going to pull some stunt again, are you?"

There was no helping it; that was the impression Zhao Fusheng gave. He always liked to make decisions on a whim. But since he was the boss, once he made a decision, the people below had to find ways to carry out his plan.

On this point, Zheng Yao was actually quite helpless.

After all, how could such a thing happen in a proper company?

But every time Zhao Fusheng made a decision on a whim, the results proved it right.

That was really frustrating!

"What do you mean by 'pull a stunt'?" Zhao Fusheng looked helplessly at Zheng Yao and waved his hand: "I want to tell you that if there's a suitable project recently, you can consider starting to push it forward. Future Investment Fund has relatively ample cash on hand."

"Is that so?" Zheng Yao raised an eyebrow and looked at Dong Chenxi.

Although Dong Chenxi didn't know what was going on, she still subconsciously nodded: "Yes, we do have quite a bit of funds on hand."

That was the truth. Previously, Zhao Fusheng had secured a loan of 300 million US dollars from PanGu Bank, and then Tong Zhenbang gave another 100 million US dollars, plus the recent income of Future Investment.

It had to be admitted that the current Future Investment Fund indeed had plenty of resources and didn't need to panic.

So the moment Zhao Fusheng said that, Dong Chenxi was quite calm.

"How much?" Zheng Yao frowned and asked.

After all, although Future Investment Fund was a subsidiary of Future Group, because it involved the financial field of venture capital, Zheng Yao rarely inquired about matters over there.

Besides, with Dong Chenxi's ability, Zheng Yao felt reassured. Even if she wasn't someone who could navigate the financial world without obstacles, she was at least a very steady person. Without full confidence, Dong Chenxi wouldn't easily invest in a project.

And in Zheng Yao's view, when it came to financial investment, having a stable mindset was essential.

At the very least, she herself had to admit that she wasn't suited for finance.
