Chapter 328: The Battle Between Heaven and Man

Whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, internal factional struggles are inevitable.

For example, this situation also exists in companies like the Five Big Families that use family members as the backbone, not to mention companies like Datang.

Tang Shuo also knew that after a company reached a certain level of development, such problems would inevitably arise. He just didn't expect that this problem would happen so early in Datang's case.

At the beginning, when Datang Pharmaceutical was just starting out, perhaps because everyone had the same goals, or perhaps because everyone was aware of the relationship between Fang Shirou and him, such a situation basically did not exist.

However, Datang has now stabilized and has found its own sales channels, and everything is back on track.

At this time, some problems that have never existed before will naturally arise.

Without even asking, Tang Shuo could guess that there must be a conflict between Jia Ting and Chen Xuan. One was a newly minted career woman, while the other was a veteran from the founding of the Tang Dynasty, so it was perfectly normal for them to have disagreements.

However, Tang Shuo had no intention of intervening in this matter. Instead, he was very happy to see this scene.

First, both Jia Ting and Chen Xuan were exceptionally capable, and this sort of thing wouldn't affect the development of Datang. However, the opposite was true; this temporarily healthy competition was likely to be entirely beneficial to Datang.

Secondly, if you analyze it carefully, you will find that this situation was deliberately created by Tang Shuo. However, Tang Shuo did not expect the problem to occur much earlier than he planned.

In fact, when he sent Jia Ting over, he did not specify her position, and later he just asked her to take the position of deputy manager.

At that time, Chen Xuan's position was also deputy manager. In the absence of anyone responsible for mediating, conflicts would inevitably arise once the two had disagreements.

This should be considered as Tang Shuo's backup plan. He simply cannot take care of so many industries under his control. If he has to do everything himself, he will probably pass away within a month.

Although Chen Xuan hadn't shown any signs of abnormality and had been very dedicated in his work, Tang Shuo wasn't completely reassured. Especially after Fang Shirou left Kuncheng, Tang Shuo began to think about how to deal with this matter.

The subsequent transfer of Jia Ting and Yu Xiaolei's current position were all for the purpose of weighing these issues.

Tang Shuo nodded to Yu Xiaolei and said, "I understand."

Seeing that Tang Shuo didn't ask any further questions, Yu Xiaolei didn't continue his description. In fact, what he had just said was already very obscure. Telling tales behind people's backs was a major taboo in the workplace, so it was completely fine to stop at the point.

Tang Shuo then chatted with Yu Xiaolei about his work issues. After lunch, he talked about project issues with Wu Gang and others.

In the evening, he took Jesus back to Mingzhu.

…

After arriving at Mingzhu, Jesus went directly to the Southern China Convention Center. He had already made an appointment with Elsa on the phone to have dinner together.

Tang Shuo went to Xinghai International Community alone.

After meeting at the Southern China Club, Tang Shuo also noticed that Lu Xiangrong's attitude towards him had changed a lot.

Although the other party did not say anything explicitly, at least he was no longer speaking ill of him like before, so he boldly went straight to his house.

After ringing the doorbell, the door was quickly opened.

When Lu Wanqi saw Tang Shuo, she jumped into his arms with a look of surprise. She complained, "Why didn't you tell me when you were coming?"

"I just arrived at Mingzhu."

After Tang Shuo answered, he put the man down seriously and whispered, "Be careful, don't let your dad see it!"

"My dad isn't home."

Lu Wanqi smiled and replied, "He went to the resort with my mother and won't be back until tomorrow at noon."

"You'll be back tomorrow at noon? Then I'll be relieved."

Tang Shuo let out a long sigh, walked into the room and asked, "Have you had dinner?"

Lu Wanqi pointed to the fruit on the table and said, "I'm the only one who's too lazy to cook. I'm also too lazy to go out, so just eat some fruit."

"What should we do now?" Tang Shuo said, "I haven't eaten yet. Should we go out to eat?"

"No need." Lu Wanqi said, "I learned a new dish these past two days. Let me cook it."

Tang Shuo was still haunted by the stir-fried crab roe Lu Wanqi had made. When he heard she was planning to cook a new dish, he grinned and quickly stopped her, saying, "How can that be? Go and have a rest first. Leave this little thing to me. You can wash the pot later."

Without waiting for Lu Wanqi to retort, Tang Shuo rushed into the kitchen and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Lu Wanqi chuckled and said sweetly, "Just do whatever you want."

…

After dinner, Lu Wanqi went to wash the pot as agreed.

Tang Shuo leaned on the sofa and watched a boring soap opera on TV, constantly changing channels.

After Lu Wanqi finished cleaning up, she sat next to Tang Shuo, rubbing her bloated belly and complaining, "I have to film tomorrow. I was planning to eat less tonight, but it's all your fault."

"You'll have the energy to shoot only if you're full!" Tang Shuo replied with a smile.

Lu Wanqi ate half of the dishes by herself, and Tang Shuo couldn't stop her even if he wanted to.

However, he absolutely didn't dare to ask this question, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Did the launch conference go smoothly?"

"Not bad," Lu Wanqi replied, shaking her head. "I thought it would definitely make the headlines the next day, but I didn't expect someone to donate 30 billion to the Hope Project. The internet is flooded with this news."

After a pause, Lu Wanqi continued, "Although there is some impact, it's not a big problem. It's considered lucky that this kind of news grabbed the headlines."

Tang Shuo knew that Lu Wanqi's press conference was held that day, but he never thought that this incident would affect it. He smiled angrily and said nothing.

"How's Xiao Ran's new song?" Tang Shuo suddenly remembered the new song that would be played at the press conference and asked, "Do you have a CD?"

That piece of music was truly outstanding, and Tang Shuo naturally hoped to hear a song that matched it.

Lu Wanqi chuckled and replied, "Xiao Ran even called me at noon to complain about you."

"What's wrong?" Tang Shuo asked puzzledly.

This was a purely friendly performance, so it would be fine if he didn't get any money, but it would be too unfair if he didn't get any benefits.

"Originally, according to the plan, this song was going to be played at the press conference," Lu Wanqi said. "But even though the music was done, we were delayed for several days on the lyrics. Finally, we managed to finish the lyrics, but there were some issues with the performance, so we ended up playing only the music at the press conference."

Tang Shuo shook his head and said, "This is not my problem at all. I have already taken care of the accompaniment." Lai Hongzhuang died.

"They said it was all your fault for playing this song so perfectly. Ordinary lyrics not only failed to carry the song, but actually affected it." Lu Wanqi said, "Now Xiao Ran and Teacher Xie have gone to the music company in Yanjing. The equipment there is more professional, and they are planning to re-record it."

“…”

Tang Shuo smiled bitterly. Was it good or wrong?

The two chatted casually for a while, looked at the time, and Lu Wanqi whispered, "It's getting late, you should go take a shower first. I bought you a set of clothes two days ago, please change into them."

"ah……"

Tang Shuo was startled, then asked, "Wash here?"

Lu Wanqi's cheeks flushed red all the way to her ears. She rolled her eyes at Tang Shuo and asked, "Are you still going back?"

In fact, Tang Shuo really planned to go back. There was something very important tomorrow night that needed to be arranged in advance.

But since Lu Wanqi has already said so, how can he leave?

As if he had made some important decision, Tang Shuo stood up and said, "Okay."

When Tang Shuo came out of the shower, he saw only a brand new men's pajamas outside. Tang Shuo put on the pajamas and walked out.

Seeing that Tang Shuo had finished his shower, Lu Wanqi pursed her lips and whispered, "Let's go to bed."

After saying that, he walked straight towards his bedroom. Tang Shuo instantly fell into a state of conflict between his conscience and his desires. Was this inappropriate?
