Chapter 2290: The New Secretary

For Zhao Fusheng's approach, the reaction across Future Group was not significant.

After all, apart from Future Film, none of the other subsidiaries were listed, which meant Zhao Fusheng had absolute control over the company.

This was something other enterprises could not have.

For a company, the more voices there are, the more people have a say in decision-making.

Many family-run businesses often fail to develop because they mix too much personal emotion into the process.

Some companies have complex relationships where a single move affects the whole.

But this situation did not exist in Future Group.

The reason was simple: Zhao Fusheng was too strong-willed.

Moreover, although Zheng Yao and others had good relationships with Zhao Fusheng, they did not place many family members in the company.

Thus, Future Group's development structure was generally very healthy.

Under these circumstances, Zhao Fusheng's adjustments to the company became opportunities for promotion in many people's eyes.

After all, everyone knew the chairman promoted people based solely on merit.

In this situation, many people began to look forward to it.

Zhao Fusheng himself felt helpless about this.

But he knew it was a good thing.

At the very least, it meant that Future Group, in the hearts of many employees, was a company with great room for advancement.

Running a business is like governing a large country.

The existence of upward mobility is very important for the grassroots.

Think about it: if you see no hope of promotion, would you still stay in a company and work like a beast of burden?

If you see no hope of rising from commoner to middle class, would you continue to be content with poverty?

Obviously, you wouldn't.

No one likes being the oppressed.

Everyone desires success.

"Chairman, here is the list."

Liu Yiming handed a list to Zhao Fusheng. It was the list he had drafted for transferring personnel from Future Group headquarters to the Chairman's Office.

Zhao Fusheng nodded. "Put it down."

Then he said to Liu Yiming, "Yiming, I plan to send you to the Strategic Planning Department."

"Ah?"

Liu Yiming was startled. "Then here..."

Obviously, he would have to let go of his work here.

Zhao Fusheng nodded. "Find me a new secretary candidate."

He had few reliable people around him. Liu Yiming's abilities were not top-notch, but he had self-awareness and was steady in his work. Sending him to the Strategic Planning Department to lead that group of proud and fierce talents was undoubtedly suitable.

Of course, Zhao Fusheng was not sending him to make decisions, as that was not his forte.

Liu Yiming himself knew he lacked that kind of mind.

His task was to gather the ideas from those geniuses and then present them to Zhao Fusheng for decision-making.

When it came to making choices, Zhao Fusheng's talent was quite good.

...

...

In the end, Liu Yiming did not oppose Zhao Fusheng's opinion.

Not only because Zhao Fusheng was the boss, but because he knew Zhao Fusheng was actually acting in his best interest.

After all, staying by his side, he would forever be just a secretary.

And Liu Yiming himself was not without ambition to advance further.

To be honest, Zhao Fusheng really welcomed ambition in those around him.

After all, no matter how hard they tried, they could not surpass him.

For him, this was a good thing.

Ambition meant a desire to climb up, which inevitably led to hard work.

And as a boss, Zhao Fusheng naturally wanted to see his employees work hard.

Soon, Liu Yiming took up his new post.

And the secretary he found for Zhao Fusheng turned out to be a woman.

"Chairman, hello. My name is Chen Qiuyan. I am a graduate from Peking University this year."

A tall girl stood before Zhao Fusheng, looking nervous.

Her face bore a clear sign of immaturity.

"You chose her?"

Zhao Fusheng glanced at Liu Yiming.

Liu Yiming nodded. "She was one of the college recruits the group hired in the capital this year, ranked first in both interview and written exam."

Clearly, he selected people based on ability, not gender.

Zhao Fusheng nodded and said nothing more.

She looked like a young student; he would try her out first.

"Hand over the work, and later tell her all the precautions." Zhao Fusheng instructed Liu Yiming.

Liu Yiming naturally nodded repeatedly. He would make sure everything was explained before taking up his new post.

However, because Chen Qiuyan was too young, she could not serve as the head of Zhao Fusheng's secretarial office.

So, the director of Zhao Fusheng's Chairman's Office became another person named Su Xinghe.

He was also transferred from Future Group headquarters, but he was older, already over forty. Zhao Fusheng did not prefer him as a secretary, so he made him the office director.

Leaving Zhao Fusheng's office, Liu Yiming naturally had to hand over the work to Chen Qiuyan.

After all, for Zhao Fusheng, the secretary was very important, and Liu Yiming knew that since he had chosen this person, any problems would affect his standing in the chairman's eyes.

Therefore, he valued Chen Qiuyan highly.

"You must remember: the chairman's requirements come first."

"The chairman likes to read briefings, so you need to compile the briefs sent by the group's subsidiaries the previous day from the office."

"Also, you need to keep track of the chairman's schedule for the next day and even the coming days."

"And the chairman's family situation..."

Liu Yiming patiently explained every detail to Chen Qiuyan without getting tired.

Chen Qiuyan listened attentively, jotting down notes as Liu Yiming spoke.

She was not stupid. Getting this opportunity to become the secretary of Future Group's chairman was, in many people's eyes, a meteoric rise.

This man was a globally renowned super-rich; working by his side was a dream opportunity for countless people.

Just like her predecessors, who were now senior leaders in Future Group.

Under these circumstances, Chen Qiuyan naturally understood what her current opportunity meant.

Those who could get into Peking University were not fools; that was beyond doubt.

So she listened very humbly.

She even occasionally asked Liu Yiming about Zhao Fusheng's preferences and such.

Liu Yiming was naturally very satisfied with her attitude.

His biggest worry was that his successor would not meet Zhao Fusheng's requirements, but seeing Chen Qiuyan so diligent, he was certainly pleased.
