Hearing this, Xie Zhuzhou inwardly groaned. He had thought he was just there to go through the motions, but he hadn't expected his older brother to actually push him to the forefront. What kind of job was this? Was he, a mere assistant, supposed to move the entire world and be a donkey pulling the millstone for the Ji Family?
He subtly adjusted his posture, trying to look more energetic, but in his mind he was already plotting how to escape unscathed without angering his older brother. After all, his mouth wasn't exactly blessed; he didn't know how many people at Chuangfei were involved.
The senior executive was clearly unwilling to let the matter drop and continued to press, " Mr. Xie has no prior experience working in the company. Won't his sudden entry into management cause dissatisfaction among other employees?"
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." What did he miss while he was daydreaming?
Ji Wangchen slightly, and once the surroundings fell silent, he casually said, "What the company needs is innovation and breakthroughs, not stagnation and conservatism. Although Xie Zhuzhou is young, his way of thinking and international perspective are exactly what we need right now. I believe that under his leadership, the group will have new developments."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Holy crap, stop bragging, stop bragging.
As expected of his brother, what he said made him want to laugh, but also feel really embarrassed!
I can't take it anymore, it hurts so much.
My older brother did this on purpose! He's hoisted him up so high, how is he supposed to get down?! Damn it, it seems like he's been tricked by my older brother!
He rubbed his forehead to calm his tormenting emotions, his fists hardening as he desperately wanted to hit his brother.
"Then, Mr. Xie, please say a few words."
Xie Zhuzhou had no choice; everyone had forced him to do this.
He leaned forward, extending a long, slender, fair hand to slowly bring the small conference microphone in front of him closer to his mouth. "You're all right. I lack experience as an employee, so of course it will cause dissatisfaction among other employees."
The subtext is: Labor and management are born to be in a superior position; what can you do if you're not satisfied?
Everyone: "..."
Then someone else asked, "What achievements have you had before?"
Xie Zhuzhou chuckled softly, his gloomy face and chilling smile making everyone present gasp.
"Nothing much to show for it; he's only been home for less than half a year and he's already raked in billions."
Xie Zhuzhou's words are true; several billion is probably an understatement!
Those of them who closely followed the Ji Family's activities also knew about Xie Zhuzhou's affairs. After all, it was common knowledge within the entire wealthy family, so it wasn't difficult for them to find out.
Leaving aside how much wealth Xie Zhuzhou himself possessed.
Upon returning to the Ji Family, he took nearly 1.7 billion yuan in assets from Master Elder Ji and several uncles and aunts.
During World Ling Family II, Ling Zhenhe, the eldest son of the Ling family, suffered a crushing defeat when his opponent tried to take advantage of him. Not only was he bedridden for months, but he also had to pay compensation for all of his assets, including his house, car, and company, totaling nearly 2.5 billion yuan.
Ji Wuwei lost money twice in the three battles against his Ji Wuwei, so the amount must be at least a billion!
This doesn't even include Xie Zhuzhou's own assets.
So, can this guy really be an employee of the group? What a joke! This guy's just here to have fun; how many people would dare say that?
"If anyone has any further opinions or suggestions, let's bring them up all at once, so I don't have to explain them one by one later." Xie Zhuzhou said coldly, leaning on the armrest with one hand, his gaze fixed on the people who had just questioned him.
The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became delicate. Several executives exchanged glances, seemingly weighing the pros and cons. Although Xie Zhuzhou's words were arrogant, they were all true, and no one dared to easily refute them. After all, in the circles of the wealthy, strength is the only true measure of success.
" Mr. Xie is indeed young and promising." An older shareholder broke the silence first, his tone tinged with a hint of probing, "However, the management of the group does not rely solely on personal wealth and background; it requires experience and wisdom even more. Is Mr. Xie confident that he can adapt to and excel in this position in a short period of time?"
Xie Zhuzhou raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips. He wondered to himself, "Does a mere assistant really have to go through so many hurdles to stay by President Ji Wangchen's side? Or did he miss something important while he was daydreaming?" He felt like a student picking up a pen in math class, only to find the teacher had already filled a whole page with mathematical formulas and calculations by the time he did.
After a little thought, he could understand what these old foxes were thinking; they were simply trying to test his capabilities. Sigh, can't relationships between people be a little simpler?
Look how innocent and adorable Chu Little Yan is; he's the most amazing and the best in everyone's eyes.
He spoke slowly and deliberately, "Experience can be accumulated, but wisdom is innate. Since I'm sitting here, I naturally have plans for my father and elder brother."
His subtext seemed to be saying: If you all are dissatisfied and keep envying, resenting, and complaining about the unfairness of fate, you might as well go and be reborn into a better life and pray that you will be like me in your next life.
Everyone: "..."
"Oh, the guy in seat 13 on the right, the one who just asked me, may I ask you what your biggest achievements were when you were in your first job?"
The person chosen was Gao Weixiao, a high-ranking official and also from the maternal family of Ji Ershu's wife. He had climbed the ranks to become the head of the comprehensive department over a decade, using money and connections to secure the position.
The General Affairs Department is primarily responsible for overall coordination, document and seal management, meeting management, government information management, external liaison and reception management, and logistics management.
This is also a crucial department within the group, and Ji Wangchen has his own reasons for not removing this person.
Most of the people present knew about Gao Weixiao's affair. Those who remained silent just wanted to watch the show, but at the same time, they felt something was off, as if Xie Zhuzhou was subtly implying that they were also being targeted.
"What? Can't I say?" Xie Zhuzhou appeared nonchalant and bored, but he was actually quite nervous.
However, there are many ways to deal with these people; he is simply using their own methods against them.
For some reason, Gao Weixiao felt a chill when he looked into Xie Zhuzhou's eyes. "I... I really didn't. You're right, but I didn't just come in and get into the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office! I started as a junior officer! I worked my way up from the bottom!"
Good heavens, his brother not only made him his assistant, but also gave him a temporary job in disciplinary inspection! Some groups do have this department. Disciplinary inspection staff are usually people with specific qualifications and conditions. Although he had absolutely no connection to it, that didn't stop his father and three brothers from nominating him as the candidate for the four members of the board of directors.
This job, if done properly, would be that of a high-ranking official in the group. But what's the difference between a slacker like him and any other layabout in the group? Generally, this position is very rigorous, so why does it feel so carelessly done?
However, Xie Zhuzhou felt it was alright considering that the job didn't require him to sit in an office all the time.
Facing Gao Weixiao's questioning, Xie Zhuzhou was in a relatively good mood. "Oh, you don't have a powerful father, so you can't blame me?"
The people in the conference room were speechless. This guy is really something else! Is this something you can just say casually?
Xie Zhuzhou didn't care about all that. If he became a rule-abiding person, it wouldn't fit his persona, and he would be easily bullied.
Besides, even his brother doesn't care about him, so what are those people?
Gao Weixiao was speechless after being rebuked. He never expected Xie Zhuzhou to respond to him from such a tricky angle. He was truly a tyrant from a wealthy family!
His face flushed with anger, and in the end, he remained silent, uttering not a word.
His relatives were the most looked down upon in the Ji Group; their status and abilities were considered mediocre at best.
Being the first to stick one's neck out has indeed been very damaging. His brother-in-law Ji Wulin, even instructed him to make things difficult for Xie Zhuzhou. Now it seems he can no longer do something so conspicuous.
