Chapter 2223: Happy Dong Guoxiang

Zhou Nianzu's reaction was very excited, but Zhao Fusheng thought it was normal.

If it were himself, he estimated he would be the same, after all, opportunities like this do not come to a person every moment.

"How about this: later you contact President Zheng, and she will tell you the specific operations."

Zhao Fusheng stood up and said to Zhou Nianzu.

"Okay."

Zhou Nianzu quickly nodded in agreement. He naturally knew that from now on, this person would be his direct boss.

As for that President Zheng, naturally it referred to Zheng Yao, CEO of Future Group.

Zhou Nianzu had read the materials on Future Group before and certainly knew that Zheng Yao and Zhao Fusheng had a close relationship; when they started the business, the two were partners.

Zheng Yao had even been Zhao Fusheng's college counselor, and the two could be said to be both teacher and friend.

Such a relationship meant that within the entire Future Group, no one could replace Zheng Yao's position.

Even Zhou Nianzu himself knew clearly that at most he could only wield power in the subsidiaries under Future Group; entering the core decision-making layer of Future Group would not be so easy.

This was the crux of the professional manager's problem.

After all, they hired him to help them make money; the two parties, in the final analysis, had an employment relationship.

But Zheng Yao and others, besides being employment partners with Zhao Fusheng, were also his friends.

After leaving, Zhao Fusheng got into the car and said to Liu Yiming, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Contact President Dong and ask if he is at Future Tech."

President Dong naturally referred to Dong Guoxiang.

Because when Zhao Fusheng mentioned Dong Chenxi, he would say Miss Dong.

That was his habit.

Having followed him for a long time, Liu Yiming naturally knew this.

...

...

The reason Zhao Fusheng wanted to see Dong Guoxiang was naturally simple: he needed to talk with Dong Guoxiang.

Zhao Fusheng cherished every friend around him.

This point was beyond doubt.

Over the years, Zhao Fusheng had always adhered to the principle: if others do not wrong me, I will not wrong them.

Dong Guoxiang was not only his friend but also someone who had worked tirelessly alongside him to start the business and conquer the world for many years.

One must know that when he first followed him, he never imagined the glory he would have today.

Therefore, regarding Zhou Nianzu's matter, Zhao Fusheng felt it necessary to tell Dong Guoxiang personally, rather than having Zheng Yao, the CEO, say it.

Although in fact, in normal procedures, having Zheng Yao talk to Dong Guoxiang would be most appropriate.

But in Zhao Fusheng's view, that kind of impersonal management model was not suitable for him.

Or rather, Zhao Fusheng felt that Dong Guoxiang and he had not reached that point.

Soon, Dong Guoxiang received notice from Liu Yiming.

Even though it was already this late, he was still working overtime at the company. Zhao Fusheng drove directly to the headquarters of Future Tech.

"Why haven't you gotten off work yet?"

Seeing Dong Guoxiang at the door, as the group walked inside, Zhao Fusheng casually asked Dong Guoxiang.

"There are a few new features I plan to test."

Dong Guoxiang smiled honestly: "I wasn't at ease, so I followed along to take a look."

Zhao Fusheng was taken aback, then helplessly sighed and shook his head.

To be honest, normally this was not something a general manager of a tech company should do. What general manager would neglect company management and instead devote himself entirely to program development?

Putting the cart before the horse!

The group arrived at the general manager's office. Zhao Fusheng asked the others to leave, and he and Dong Guoxiang sat down in the office.

"Why come so late? Something up?"

Dong Guoxiang asked Zhao Fusheng with concern.

He knew very well that Zhao Fusheng would not come specifically at this time without reason, and Liu Yiming had also said on the phone earlier that he was coming specifically to see him.

Having followed Zhao Fusheng for quite some time, Dong Guoxiang knew Zhao Fusheng's character all too well.

Zhao Fusheng did not beat around the bush and said directly to him: "Zheng Yao and I discussed it and plan to hire a CEO for Future Tech. You will be transferred to Chief Technology Officer. What do you think?"

"Restructuring?"

Dong Guoxiang was stunned, somewhat surprised, but his reaction was not as strong as Zhao Fusheng had imagined.

On the contrary, Zhao Fusheng even saw a hint of relief on Dong Guoxiang's face.

"Yes, restructuring Future Tech."

Zhao Fusheng candidly told Dong Guoxiang the result of his discussion with Zheng Yao, and even informed him of Zhou Nianzu's identity.

For him, Dong Guoxiang was not only a subordinate but also a friend. Zhao Fusheng did not want this matter to cause any rift in their relationship.

After all, within Future Tech, the person he trusted most was still Dong Guoxiang.

This point was beyond doubt.

After all, Zhou Nianzu was just a professional manager; in other words, he was an employee who would not live or die with the company.

But Dong Guoxiang was different; he was truly Zhao Fusheng's own person, someone who would follow him to the end.

That was the difference!

In fact, many people have this confusion: in a company, some people have clearly fallen behind the company's pace and are no longer the company's business backbone, yet why does the boss always trust that person?

Even knowing that the person's ability does not match their position, the boss still chooses to trust them instead of a business backbone like themselves.

Actually, the reasoning is simple.

Because in the boss's heart, that person is trustworthy and can go through ups and downs with them.

Just like in Zhao Fusheng's eyes, no matter how capable Zhou Nianzu was, in his heart he was a piece that could be discarded at any time, because in Zhou Nianzu's heart, he had no so-called loyalty to Future Tech or Sina.

Professional managers work for a salary.

Once the company encounters difficulties that they cannot solve, many professional managers choose to resign.

Bosses choose subordinates, and subordinates also choose bosses.

Especially for senior managers like this.

But conversely, people like Dong Guoxiang would not. They may lack ability, but their loyalty is unquestionable. You don't have to worry about them leaving you when the company is in trouble, because in the mindset of such people, there is no such thing as betrayal.

That is why Zhao Fusheng consistently trusted Dong Guoxiang.

"Chairman, I have no objections."

After Zhao Fusheng finished explaining his arrangements, Dong Guoxiang smiled and said to Zhao Fusheng: "Finally, I don't have to deal with those operational matters. To be honest, if you hadn't insisted, I would have quit long ago."

Zhao Fusheng was speechless, but he knew that Dong Guoxiang was definitely speaking his mind.

This person was not the type to say one thing and do another behind your back.

He called a spade a spade.

That was Dong Guoxiang's character.

If he said he didn't like management, then he really didn't.

It was just, as he himself had said before, because it was Zhao Fusheng's order, even if he was unwilling, he would conscientiously fulfill his duties.

"Alright then."

Zhao Fusheng nodded and said to Dong Guoxiang: "After President Zheng finishes briefing him on the situation, she will bring him here to take up his post. From now on, he will be responsible for the company's daily operations and management, and you will be in charge of technical work."

Then Zhao Fusheng smiled: "Going from general manager to technology officer, you won't feel uncomfortable, will you?"

"Ha, don't you know me?"

Dong Guoxiang shook his head indifferently, looking relaxed: "I wish I could write code all day. To be honest, that's the job that suits me."

Zhao Fusheng was stunned, then laughed himself.

Having known each other for so many years, he really couldn't understand Dong Guoxiang's mindset.

To be honest, given his close relationship with Zhao Fusheng and the degree of trust Zhao Fusheng had in him, if Dong Guoxiang had even a little ambition, he might not be in his current position.

But obviously, he was not that kind of ambitious person.

Being content with the status quo was Dong Guoxiang's biggest trait.

But that was fine; perhaps this was the best outcome for him.
