Chapter 2034 Boss and Employee

Not everyone can be Fang Xiaoru.

Faced with Zhao Fusheng's dominance, whether it was the siblings Li Zaixian and Li Meizhen, or the old foxes Kim Young-min and Lee Soo-man, they could only bow and obey.

Because they knew very well that Zhao Fusheng had the ability to overturn the table.

Once Zhao Fusheng overturned the table and stood against them, what awaited them would not be good.

“Eat, eat.”

Zhao Fusheng smiled and urged everyone to eat.

For Lee Soo-man and Kim Young-min, this meal was like chewing wax.

They really couldn't understand what Zhao Fusheng wanted to do.

Could it be that he planned to enter the Korean music industry?

But the question was, was that necessary?

Samsung and CJ were both his partners, and in the Korean film and television production circle, Hanxing Investment itself had a huge say.

In short, as long as Zhao Fusheng was willing, he could get much more than many people thought.

Under such circumstances, would he care about the meager profits of the music industry?

To be honest, Kim Young-min didn't believe it, and Lee Soo-man didn't either.

Not to mention them, even Lee Boo-jin and Liang Jingyu and others didn't believe it.

After the meal, Kim Young-min and Lee Soo-man took their leave. Zhao Fusheng had Park Sun-young see them off on his behalf, and comforted Song Qian and Choi Jin-ri a few words, telling them not to be afraid, that no one would trouble them in the future.

Only then did Zhao Fusheng look at Lee Boo-jin.

“Sister Boo-jin, I think through this incident, Ms. Li should stay quiet for a while.”

“Hopefully.”

Lee Boo-jin smiled bitterly and nodded.

To be honest, she didn't know if Li Meizhen would back down because of this and give up certain ideas about the Shilla Hotel.

But regardless, Zhao Fusheng had helped her out.

She had to remember this favor.

Doing business is like being a person; debts of gratitude are often the hardest to repay.

Because many times, what others give you is goodwill, which cannot be measured by material things.

Therefore, what you give back to them must also stand up to scrutiny.

This is a very troublesome matter.

At the very least, in Lee Boo-jin's worldview, she was unwilling to owe favors.

But many times, some things are not up to her.

“Alright, I'll go rest now.”

Zhao Fusheng smiled at Lee Boo-jin and turned to enter the elevator.

By his side, Wu Sijie and Liang Jingyu naturally followed.

Lee Boo-jin also knew that they would have matters to discuss. Watching the elevator doors slowly close, she sighed helplessly.

Sometimes she felt that perhaps being born into an ordinary family was actually a very happy thing.

……

……

Zhao Fusheng naturally didn't know what Lee Boo-jin was lamenting. Even if he did, he would say that woman was too pretentious.

Everyone has their own destiny.

Being born into a wealthy family might not be what Lee Boo-jin wanted, but from another perspective, if she weren't the eldest daughter of Samsung, her life might not be as comfortable and安逸 as it is now.

People are like that; they always like to be pretentious, always feeling that their lives are not smooth enough.

In fact, most people who are dissatisfied with life are just whining without reason.

Because those who have difficulties in life have neither the time nor the mood to lament; they are busy trying to survive.

Only those idle rich are so bored that they post on their Moments or Weibo, lamenting that they bought nothing on Double Eleven this year, or how the stars outside are.

“Chairman, you today…”

As the secretary who had followed Zhao Fusheng the longest, Wu Sijie had a deep understanding of Zhao Fusheng's character.

He could be one hundred percent sure that Zhao Fusheng's actions today definitely had other moves in store.

Or to be more precise, his boss's target could not be CJ or Samsung, or SM Entertainment.

The reason was simple: the first two were partners, and Lee Kun-hee and Lee Maeng-hee were still alive, so Zhao Fusheng wouldn't take risks. As for the latter, it was purely because its exploitable value was too small, completely failing to pique the boss's interest.

Glaring at Wu Sijie, Zhao Fusheng said, “Think you're smart, huh?”

Zhao Fusheng chuckled but said nothing.

He actually knew that Zhao Fusheng wasn't angry. If he really minded being asked that, he wouldn't be scolding him now but would remain silent.

“Let's talk when we get back.”

Liang Jingyu spoke up at this point.

Although he knew that Wu Sijie and Zhao Fusheng had a good relationship, this topic was clearly not something to bring up here.

Everyone nodded, naturally understanding what Liang Jingyu meant.

After returning to Zhao Fusheng's residence, several bodyguards first checked the security of the room before inviting Zhao Fusheng and the others in.

“Everyone, sit.”

Zhao Fusheng sat on the sofa and pointed to the sofas on either side of him: “You sit too. Let's talk.”

Wu Sijie and Liang Jingyu exchanged a glance, almost simultaneously realizing that this was the real reason the boss had called them over.

“Chairman, are you planning to integrate the cultural industry here in Korea?” Wu Sijie hesitated but still asked Zhao Fusheng.

“What are you thinking?”

Zhao Fusheng glared at him: “Don't overthink things. You're too fond of speculating, and too much speculation leads you astray.”

“Hmm?”

Liang Jingyu and Wu Sijie exchanged a look, both somewhat surprised.

Clearly, since Zhao Fusheng had denied Wu Sijie's words, it meant he had no intention of making a move on the cultural and entertainment industry here.

“That's good, that's good.”

Wu Sijie, not at all bothered by Zhao Fusheng's criticism, said with a smile: “I was just afraid you might be upset about today's incident. Actually, let me tell you, this is normal in Korea. In recent years, several actors have committed suicide due to exploitation.”

Zhao Fusheng naturally knew what he meant.

But after thinking it over, Zhao Fusheng waved his hand: “Try to control it. At the very least, in our crews and such, don't let such things happen. We are Chinese, different from Koreans. If a scandal breaks out, it will hit us hard.”

This was true. Koreans love double standards.

For the same thing, if their own companies do it, they turn a blind eye. But if it happens to a Chinese company, it will definitely provoke backlash.

Moreover, in Korea, demonstrations are common, so Zhao Fusheng felt they should be cautious.

Liang Jingyu and Wu Sijie quickly nodded in agreement.

They weren't fools; they naturally understood Zhao Fusheng's intention.

“You two, don't let your minds wander here.”

Seeing their reaction, Zhao Fusheng smiled and said: “I know the situation at home is different from here, so I won't make excessive demands of you.”

He paused, put away his smile, and said seriously: “But there is one thing I want to tell you. First, we must not harm our compatriots. Second, always remember that we are Chinese. Abroad, Hanxing Investment represents not just me, Zhao Fusheng, but the face of all Chinese enterprises. Understand?”

“Chairman, rest assured, we know what to do.”

With things put so plainly, Liang Jingyu and Wu Sijie naturally gave their assurances.

They had just been worried that Zhao Fusheng, unfamiliar with the situation here, might give reckless orders out of momentary anger.

Now it seemed their boss was as shrewd as ever and had no intention of overstepping.

For subordinates, having a boss who doesn't meddle unnecessarily is extremely fortunate.

At the very least, you don't have to worry about suddenly facing some inexplicable problem or enemy.

If that happened, it would be the most headache-inducing thing.

This is why professional managers dislike family businesses.

Having said that, Liang Jingyu cautiously glanced at Zhao Fusheng and asked in a low voice: “Then who was today's show for?”

“Of course, for Lee Kun-hee and Lee Maeng-hee.”

Zhao Fusheng didn't hide it from his two confidants and said slowly: “What do you think Lee Kun-hee and Lee Maeng-hee are up to?”

Hearing this question, Liang Jingyu and Wu Sijie exchanged a look but neither spoke immediately.

As the boss, Zhao Fusheng asking such a question at this moment was clearly testing them.

After all, the Future Group was huge, with numerous subsidiaries, but Hanxing Investment was the largest and earliest established among the group's overseas subsidiaries.

Now, as co-representatives of Hanxing Investment, Wu Sijie and Liang Jingyu were highly sought after in many people's eyes.

“Princes, generals, ministers—is there a seed for them?”

For many middle managers in the Future Group, the significance of Liang Jingyu and Wu Sijie's existence was often to inspire these people to keep striving.

Because they knew that one day, if their abilities were recognized by the big boss, a similar opportunity would come to them.

In other words, opportunities, in a sense, were equal for everyone.

Under such circumstances, neither Wu Sijie nor Liang Jingyu dared to relax for a moment.

Because they knew that if they didn't perform well, not only could the other replace them, but there were countless people in Future Investment and Future Advertising waiting for this chance.

“Take your time thinking.”

Zhao Fusheng was satisfied with their reaction.

As the controller of a company, if he rashly expressed his opinions and casually spoke his mind, that would be a worrying thing.

Not showing one's emotions is the minimum requirement for an excellent entrepreneur.

As for deeper things, one needs insight to achieve them.
