Chapter 1662: A New Candidate

People need to communicate, because only through communication can relationships become closer.

And for those who are already close, being open and honest with each other, sharing what's on their minds, can increase intimacy and trust.

Take Zhao Fusheng, Zheng Yao, and Dong Chenxi for example. They were already good friends and business partners. In such a situation, being candid was undoubtedly beneficial for advancing their careers.

Even Zhao Fusheng himself had to admit this.

Sometimes, the more you hide things and keep secrets, the more likely cracks will appear in the relationship, gradually widening until one day they become the fuse for a split.

Zhao Fusheng didn't want that to happen, because he truly cherished the friends around him.

Now it was fine. After a pleasant chat with Dong Chenxi and Zheng Yao, Zhao Fusheng finally felt relieved and could continue to steer Future Group forward according to his original vision.

He was in such a good mood that he wore a smile on his face when he got home.

"Why are you in such a good mood?"

Fan Baobao was walking back and forth in the room, holding their daughter and trying to get the little girl to sleep. Seeing Zhao Fusheng's expression, she asked curiously.

"I accomplished something big."

Zhao Fusheng smiled, leaned over, kissed his daughter on the cheek, and said cheerfully to Fan Baobao.

But the next moment, the little girl started crying!

"You!"

Fan Baobao's eyes instantly widened. She glared at Zhao Fusheng and said irritably, "The child was almost asleep. Why did you scare her?"

Zhao Fusheng smiled sheepishly and rubbed his head. "Well, I didn't mean to."

"Clumsy."

Fan Baobao shot him a look, full of disdain.

To be honest, though she said that, she actually found it quite amusing.

All along, Zhao Fusheng had given her the impression of being omnipotent, succeeding at everything. But now, when faced with their daughter, he was always clumsy and didn't know how to take care of a child. This gave Fan Baobao a sense of accomplishment—at least her existence had meaning.

Otherwise, Zhao Fusheng—he made money, wasn't bad-looking, had a good personality, could cook, and succeeded steadily at everything he did.

A man like that, Fan Baobao felt, was simply perfect.

She even felt a bit inferior.

But now, discovering that Zhao Fusheng couldn't take care of a child, she found it quite interesting.

"No, no, no. I'm leaving, I'm leaving." Seeing Fan Baobao looking like she wanted to eat him alive, Zhao Fusheng quickly turned and left.

At times like this, women were definitely not to be provoked.

He would rather wait until she was asleep to talk to Fan Baobao than provoke her now.

……

……

Back upstairs, Zhao Fusheng turned on his computer and started reading documents.

Dong Chenxi and Zheng Yao's trip to South Korea had resulted in a formal agreement with Samsung. Zhao Fusheng naturally wanted to review the details himself.

To be honest, at this point, he was more cautious when considering problems or making decisions than before, because these were no longer deals of one or two million, but transactions worth several billion.

Although Zhao Fusheng wasn't short of money now, that didn't mean he wasn't afraid of failure.

"Online games..."

Looking at the report sent by Future Technology, Zhao Fusheng frowned. Future Technology had been asking him to increase investment. But the problem was that although the domestic online game market had great potential, very few were actually making money. Zhu Yushi's "Zheng Tu" was indeed profitable. Han Bin had once hesitated between Jingdong and "Zheng Tu" and ultimately chose the latter, which was now making money too.

It was for this reason that Zhao Fusheng learned from him that "Zheng Tu" had already begun to decline.

The online game industry had a time-effect issue.

For example, an online game might take five years from development to launch, but if it was accepted by the market and became popular, it might only last three years.

To put it bluntly, the money-making period was only during the initial boom.

After that, most online games actually lost money.

Of course, there were some that barely survived, but as time went on, the final outcome was never pleasant.

This might seem unbelievable. Some people would say, "So-and-so game has been popular for ten years."

Well, that depends on the company's background and investment in the game.

For example, Shanda's "Legend" would definitely have lost money if not for the endless stream of private servers that emerged later.

But even so, the company had to keep going, losing money for the sake of publicity. The reason was simple: to retain users.

Because for internet companies, no matter the product, users were the most important.

Whether it was the Big Three of Zhao Fusheng's previous life or foreign companies like Twitter and Facebook, in the end, the users of internet products were people. If you couldn't capture users, the path of any product would eventually narrow.

Shaking his head and sighing, Zhao Fusheng forwarded the documents from Future Technology to Dong Guoxiang.

At the same time, he was considering whether to send Dong Guoxiang back. After all, within Future Technology, the person who best understood his thoughts was probably Dong Guoxiang.

"In that case, the Supervision Department..."

He muttered to himself, feeling a bit troubled.

After all, for Future Group, the supervision department was also very important. If he didn't put someone he trusted there, Zhao Fusheng wouldn't feel at ease.

After thinking it over, Zhao Fusheng's eyes suddenly lit up. He had a new candidate in mind.

……

……

"What did you say? You want me to go to the Supervision Department?"

In the general manager's office of Future Security, Zhang Qian stared blankly at Zhao Fusheng. "Me?"

"That's right, you." Zhao Fusheng nodded matter-of-factly. "Because I really can't find a suitable person. After careful thought, you are indeed the right fit."

He had thought about it for a long time yesterday, and after much deliberation, he still felt that Zhang Qian was suitable for the position.

"Reason."

Zhang Qian looked at Zhao Fusheng and asked.

He also wanted to know why Zhao Fusheng thought he was right for that role.

"Dong Guoxiang needs to go to Future Technology to take charge. As for Future Security, you can hand things over to Hu Donghai. After all, this department mainly handles security work. As for you, you used to work closely with me. People throughout the group and its subsidiaries know you and know your relationship with me..."

Zhao Fusheng looked at Zhang Qian and said calmly, "So after careful consideration, you are very suitable for this position."

Zhang Qian was momentarily speechless.

But on second thought, Zhao Fusheng's words did make some sense.

"I agree."

Zhang Qian nodded to Zhao Fusheng.

"Huh?"

This time it was Zhao Fusheng's turn to be stunned. "You agreed just like that?"

"Yeah, isn't this just a normal job rotation?" Zhang Qian said.

People grow. Originally, he was taciturn and steady in character. But after years of experience, he had gradually come to understand many aspects of human relationships and was no longer the clueless bodyguard he used to be.

"Alright."

Zhao Fusheng nodded. Zhang Qian's quick agreement, though somewhat unexpected, was actually a good thing. At least he wouldn't have to waste his breath convincing him.

To be honest, before meeting Zhang Qian, he had thought of many reasons to persuade him. But the guy actually agreed directly, making all his preparations useless.

"By the way, how are things between you and Yang Panpan?"

After finishing the business, Zhao Fusheng suddenly remembered something and asked Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian blinked, then lowered his head. "If you have nothing else, I'll get back to work."

"Hey, hey, hey, is this how you treat your boss?" Zhao Fusheng immediately became agitated, glaring at Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian chuckled but completely ignored him.

What kind of boss gossips like that!
