Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1273: Seeing Boss Zhao’s Nature At A Glance

The two people who had been looking forward to Boss Pei’s praise did not hear the praise they wanted to hear.

Boss Pei was not very happy. His expression was as usual.

That made Eric and Zhao Xuming suspicious.

What the hell was happening?

Why did Boss Pei have such a reaction and attitude?

Could it be that our event this time seemed to be very successful, but there were actually loopholes and flaws? It did not even meet Boss Pei’s expectations for us?

Both of them had jumped over from their own companies. In the past, they had dealt with Boss Pei as competitors. They had only been Boss Pei’s subordinates for less than half a month. They did not know Boss Pei’s temper.

He only knew that Boss Pei was a meticulous person and was very good at planning.

What’s more, Boss Pei was very good at discovering the advantages of his employees and nurturing them judging from Tengda’s talent pool.

Sometimes, these employees did not even realize that they had been trained by Boss Pei.

Thus, both of them calmed down and wanted to hear what Boss Pei had to say.

They would definitely not think too much if it was Dayak Corporation or Long Yu Corporation.

The event was very effective and very successful. If the boss did not reward him, he would definitely be crazy.

However, in Tengda, Boss Pei’s image was already indestructible. Thus, the two of them began to examine their own problems.

Pei Qian pondered for a moment and looked at Zhao Xuming. “Eric came up with the idea for this event, right?”

Zhao Xuming nodded immediately. “Yes, that’s right!”

“I actually only did a little work and cooperated a little.”

“I’m ashamed. I even felt that this event was a little risky. At first, I tried to dissuade him.”

Zhao Xuming was not someone who would fight for credit because there was a risk that he would be blamed. This was a double-edged sword.

This was especially so for new companies that had yet to stabilize their footing. They had not figured out Boss Pei’s character yet. It was even more impossible for him to fight for credit.

The key was that Boss Pei had always given people the impression that he was extremely smart and had a flawless plan. It was meaningless to play these tricks under Boss Pei’s nose. The best outcome would be that Boss Pei would not expose him on the surface but remember him in his heart.

Eric asked, “Boss Pei, is there a problem with the event this time?”

Problem? There was a huge problem!

You can’t wait for IOI to die.

Pei Qian actually had a lot of opinions on this event, but he could not express them clearly.

I can’t possibly say that you guys were too ruthless, right?

After a moment of silence, Pei Qian said, “There’s nothing much to say about the event itself.”

“However, I realized that you don’t seem to be very active, Boss Zhao.”

“You’re the person-in-charge of GOG’s domestic server now. You’re on the same level as Eric. You can’t just be in charge of being an assistant.”

Pei Qian felt that he had to suppress the energy in Eric’s body.

If he had to choose a less dangerous person between the two of them, it would be Zhao Xuming.

Zhao Xuming looked shocked after hearing that.

What was going on?

Could Boss Pei have seen my true colors in less than half a month? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . ꜰire

What’s more, he had not even come to GOG’s project team. He had not even taken the initiative to ask about the work here.

That was too fast!

Indeed, the one who understands you the most is your opponent. Boss Pei is indeed an insightful person…

Previously, Zhao Xuming had always been in such a working mode in Long Yu Corporation. He had achieved remarkable results and hid it perfectly.

The person-in-charge that Finger Games had sent to IOI’s China region had been changed from Eric to Chrétien. However, no matter what, Zhao Xuming’s position was stable.

The main reason was that he never took the blame.

Even if he was the one who suggested the plan, he would definitely not fight for the lead credit. Instead, he would help Eric or Chrétien after telling them the plan.

That way, even though he would give away the main credit, he would have some credit as long as it succeeded. What’s more, it would show that his ideas were very constructive and effective.

If the plan failed, the person in charge of the decision would be the first to bear the responsibility. Zhao Xuming might also be responsible but most of the time, he was always dealt with lightly.

In fact, many smart strategists in the ancient times had done this.

In any case, strategists only had to come up with ideas. The one who made the final decision was the master.

There was going to be a war. A wave of strategists said that they wanted to fight, and a wave of strategists said that they should not fight. After that, the lord hesitated for a long time and decided to fight. If they lost, the strategists who said that they should not fight would seem very wise. The lord would appear very stupid.

Zhao Xuming had also learned from the ancient people.

However, this set of ideals seemed to be a little difficult to play in Tengda!

Zhao Xuming was very shocked that Boss Pei said this at this point in time.

On one hand, it was because Zhao Xuming had only joined Tengda Corporation for a short period of time. On the other hand, it was because the plan had succeeded this time.

Ordinary leaders would only knock Zhao Xuming down after he joined for at least half a year or a year and his work stabilized.

However, Boss Pei was not. He chose the critical juncture of the plan’s success and pointed it out directly.

Zhao Xuming carefully read the meaning in Boss Pei’s words.

Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with his non-stick work mode!

There was nothing much to say about the event itself. What it meant was that it was completely normal in Boss Pei’s opinion. Any person-in-charge would have done that, let alone Eric and Zhao Xuming.

It would be very disappointing if he did not see this opportunity.

What made Boss Pei unhappy was that Eric was doing something, but Zhao Xuming himself was not active enough. He was obviously on the same level as Eric, but he was just standing behind and shouting.

Zhao Xuming understood.

Boss Pei’s warning was so clear. It would be stupid if he did not understand it.

Zhao Xuming looked a little awkward. “Boss Pei, you’re right. In the future… I’ll definitely take the initiative to think about the plan.”

The environment of every company was different, and so was their way of survival.

A true non-stick contributor could perfectly integrate into the environment and achieve non-stickability in any environment.

In Long Yu Corporation, as long as he used the same method, he could continue to push the blame. Why not?

However, it was obviously not possible in Tengda.

That was because Boss Pei saw through this at a glance!

He definitely could not use the previous method. Otherwise, he would definitely want to not stick to the blame. However, the blame would fly over and be firmly held onto his head.

Zhao Xuming’s way of working was to satisfy his superior’s requirements as much as possible and complete the tasks assigned to him. That would protect his position as much as possible and gradually promote and increase his salary.

He did not need to walk very quickly. He only hoped that every step would be steady.

Now that he had a new boss, he naturally had to get used to it.

Eric nodded silently.

Boss Pei was indeed very clear. He immediately saw the key problem!

Pei Qian was a little surprised to see both of them nodding repeatedly.

Eh, it was fine if Zhao Xuming agreed. Why did Eric not have any objections at all?

Did he really have no objections or was he keeping them in his heart?

Yes, perhaps he did not have any room to refute what I said just now. After all, they were on the same level in terms of work. Eric would not go so far as to go against his boss and challenge the company system.

However, as work progressed, their differences would definitely be revealed. The seed of internal strife had already been planted.

Pei Qian was beginning to regret poaching these two people. However, poaching people was easy, but sending them away was difficult.

It had only been less than half a month since he started poaching Eric. However, he could still observe Zhao Xuming.

Perhaps IOI’s failure was mainly due to Zhao Xuming?

“There’s nothing else. Continue your work.” Pei Qian decided to call it a day after some thought.

He could not expect this to happen overnight. He had to take it slow.

Eric and Zhao Xuming sent Boss Pei off and returned to their seats.

After some consideration, Zhao Xuming said softly, “I have an idea about Boss Pei’s request.”

“The process from now on will be the same as before. You’ll decide on the plan, but I’ll hand it to Boss Pei later on. We’ll split the plan slightly. Of course, if something goes wrong when it’s my turn to submit the plan, I’ll take the main responsibility.”

Zhao Xuming thought of a solution the moment Boss Pei left.

Since Boss Pei had already told him to take more responsibility and come up with more plans, he could not hide behind like before.

However, in order to prevent a conflict between their opinions, they could always discuss upfront.

At that time, Eric would not do the plan that Eric did not agree to. The plan that both of them felt that there was no problem would be assigned to Zhao Xuming. At the same time, Zhao Xuming would also bear some responsibility.

This was a huge change for Zhao Xuming.

Eric frowned and immediately shook his head. “How can that do?”

“Haven’t you realized, Boss Zhao? Boss Pei values every employee and hopes that every employee can show their potential. Otherwise, he would not have replaced Min Jingchao.”

“Do you think this little trick can hide from Boss Pei’s eyes?”

“I might as well be direct, Boss Zhao. Tengda is not a place where you can just do your job and slack. Boss Pei obviously hopes that every employee can shine here.”

“Your previous method might not have any problems in Long Yu Corporation, but do you think it’s still applicable in Tengda?”

Zhao Xuming was a little awkward. “But… I’ve always been like this. How can I change it overnight?”

Eric shook his head. “You belittle Boss Pei.”

“I believe you can feel it as well. Tengda’s atmosphere is completely different from other companies. It’s very special. Here, everyone can be extremely malleable because they have a lot of freedom in their work.”

“Perhaps your cautious character limited your career development?”

“Boss Pei actually wants to change your character and show your true potential.”

Zhao Xuming was a little conflicted. “What if our plans conflict?”

Eric smiled. “What’s there to worry about with Boss Pei around?”

Eric knew Zhao Xuming’s non-stick nature very well.

How could he not know after working together for so long?

However, Eric did not care before this because he needed someone who was obedient enough to be his assistant. He did not want opinions to be divided and cause the plan to fail. All the resources would be wasted on internal consumption.

Thus, Eric would not have many opinions on Zhao Xuming like Chrétien even though he knew that he was not sticking to the blame. This was a two-way choice.

However, after hearing Boss Pei’s words, Eric realized that the situation in Tengda was different.
