Tang Qingzhong’s face was as red as that of Guan Yu.
Fang Yongxing swept a glance at him indifferently and said, "So, you’re preparing to suck up to someone for a promotion? But have you considered, once the ’big leg’ you’re clinging to can’t even save themselves, do you think they can save you?"
"Group leader, sticking together is always better than going it alone."
"If that’s the case, why have you followed me up until now?"
At heart, Tang Qingzhong was just like Fang Yongxing, thoroughly despising those idlers who didn’t do any work and only knew how to linger around their superiors’ behinds, relying on their glib talk to pick and choose their tasks.
They came to work, to find passion and dreams in their work, not to become parasites. But the environment was getting more and more difficult, making them seem isolated, now forcing them to consider their own livelihoods.
A man must always consider whether his wife and children will have food on the table.
Tang Qingzhong pouted, "Group leader, but we’ve persisted up till now, all for nought, our futures are bleak—"
"Who says the future is bleak?" Fang Yongxing’s gaze suddenly turned to Gu Nuan. "You ask her—since she entered the company she has been kicked to the most unregarded place in the entire company, does she feel her future is bleak?"
Tang Qingzhong turned his head, looking towards Gu Nuan.
In their distinctly different looks, Gu Nuan actually saw the same thing: impatience, restlessness, the hope to quickly find a breakthrough.
Perhaps Tang Qingzhong was concerned about Fang Yongxing’s safety, which was why he suddenly changed his attitude tonight and spoke these words that went against his conscience. Gu Nuan believed that Fang Yongxing was also clear about this in his heart.
Without the need for contemplation, what they were thinking had already been considered countless times in her, Gu Nuan’s, own mind. Because she was deaf, the setbacks and unfair treatment she encountered from childhood were bound to be more than theirs.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Nuan said, "I believe, the group leader’s words are correct. If you want to cling to someone’s ’big leg,’ you must first gauge your own weight. Can you say that even if that ’big leg’ fails you, you can still hold your own? Therefore, the most important thing is self-improvement—your own capabilities are what speak for you. If you are indispensable to the company, whoever takes the helm won’t be able to touch you." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙
Tang Qingzhong hesitated, "Is this, easy to achieve? In a large corporation with talents emerging one after another, all kinds of talents are available, would they really be threatened or intimidated by a mere ordinary employee like you?"
"That depends on how many resources you control," Gu Nuan said, "From the perspective of finance, something valuable in essence will be able to preserve its value to the maximum in any phase. It’s the same with human talent. If your talent can maximize the company’s value preservation, any leader with insight would not bear to see you wronged and would ensure that you are retained with courtesy."
Tang Qingzhong studied marketing in school and had only slightly touched upon finance—merely scratching the surface—so as he listened to Gu Nuan, he was sporadically following along. He always felt that what Gu Nuan said was what really sounded—sophisticated and high-level.
Fang Yongxing was thinking even farther ahead.
Finance, honestly, was dominated by large capital and those from the top echelons of society—those who had the luxury to dabble in it. From another perspective, it was a field concentrated with highly intelligent economic professionals.
From this, it was already apparent that even with his many years of seemingly rich practical experience, his intellect probably couldn’t compare to that of this young newcomer Gu Nuan.
"If you compare your talent to gold that preserves its value, no matter whom you sell yourself to, you won’t depreciate in value."
