Chapter 525: Chapter 527 Design (2)
And Qin Zhiyou’s office was located on the highest floor.
At first, Lu Weixi came over with the intention of scolding him, but after she saw the operational view of Hanhai, a bit of heroic aspiration unexpectedly surfaced within her.
Qin Zhiyou was by her side, witnessing her transition from initial curiosity, then to surprise, excitement, and finally seriousness. He didn’t know what Lu Weixi was thinking at the moment, but every time his aunt and uncle came to his office on the top floor, they would always feel a bit discontented. His other subordinates were excited to be recognized – after all, only those favored by the CEO could reach the top level, and their status was self-evident.
His wife had ambition and capability, so he naturally hoped that she could succeed and move forward with him.
When Qin Zhiyou arrived, he had obviously already given Secretary Wang a heads up.
At this time, Secretary Wang had cleared out all the surrounding people. The original assistant who was receiving them in front of the CEO’s office was asked to leave, leaving only him present. Upon seeing Lu Weixi, he respectfully approached her, “Young Madam.”
Lu Weixi quickly responded, “Secretary Wang, I’ve brought some work with me today.”
Secretary Wang looked at her with a questioning expression, then turned his attention to Qin Zhiyou. It was no wonder he was puzzled. Lulu, a small company, wouldn’t have much necessary work. Even when seeking tasks, it would usually be directed to the project branch downstairs—they wouldn’t need to come to the CEO’s office for that.
Qin Zhiyou nodded solemnly, “She really did come to work. She’s here to redecorate my office.”
Five years ago, when Qin Zhiyou seized the CEO’s position from his uncle, his office hadn’t been renovated since. It wasn’t because he was stingy or anything similar.
At that time, he was only 24. He started his internship at the company when he was a junior in college, and by the time he challenged the status quo, he had already been with the company for four years. When his aunt and uncle agreed to step down, besides admitting their own mistakes, their main intention was to let him take their place as a form of punishment. They wanted to prove that this inexperienced young man didn’t have what it took to lead the company. The moment he made a mistake, they would have all the justification they needed to drag him down from his position!
But contrary to their expectations, not only was Qin Zhiyou well-prepared, but he also worked hard enough to steady the nerves of the internal company during the transition period. He calmly replaced his predecessors with his own personnel, gradually changing the company’s philosophy, and implementing his policies and strategies.
His approach achieved remarkable results over the past five years. Though his aunt and uncle still had influence in the company, their influence was gradually diminishing. Even though some people on the board still opposed him whenever there was a problem, almost everyone in the company looked up to him for leadership. The occasional oppositions could serve as necessary warnings, which he didn’t mind.
The cold war between Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi, other than the problem between the two of them, was related to Qin Zhiyou’s heavy workload, which left him no time to divide his focus. When he took over the company, it coincided with the most severe period of their dispute. He was so busy with work every day that when he came home to continue their cold war, he was even more disheartened.
By the time he stabilized the company, it was already one or two years later. Initially, there wasn’t much affection between the two of them, but experiencing that incident made things even worse, not to mention the cold period that lasted for a year.
He wanted to get closer, but the rift between them wasn’t easy to bridge. Having to keep an eye on his aunt and uncle, he accidentally distanced her further, sought company from several women, and their situation gradually worsened.
