You know what I'm trying to say.

Gong Yi's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and he asked Liu Shang a question in return.

"The person is already gone, what's the point of saying all this?"

Liu Shang knew exactly why Gong Yi had come. He had just asked Zhang He to file for resignation, and Gong Yi called to ask him what else he wanted. Although Liu Shang was somewhat indifferent to Zhang He leaving, it wasn't unacceptable.

After all, the company is here, and I don't believe that those capable people won't come and work for me. I'm just as indifferent to Zhang He's departure as I was to Lei Yansheng's departure.

"I told you last time I came that you've changed so much that you're a stranger to me, becoming more and more like Gu Hai—cold and ruthless!"

Gong Yi, equally unable to tolerate Liu Shang's actions, knew what Liu Shang was like in the past, which made him even angrier at the current Liu Shang, and he shouted at Liu Shang.

Are you telling the truth?

If anyone else had said such a thing, Liu Shang would have fired them on the spot. But after Gong Yi said it, Liu Shang had to think carefully about his own problem, and then asked Gong Yi with some disbelief.

"Brother Shang, your previous brotherhood and meticulous care for the people below, leading us who were suppressed by Gu Hai, drove away Gu Hai who didn't treat us as brothers. Wasn't it because you treated us as true brothers? Now you are exactly like Gu Hai before. I believe that there will definitely be Liu Shang like before who will stand up. At that time, Gu Hai's old path will be your warning!"

Gong Yi, now free of any reservations, spoke excitedly to Liu Shang about what he had always wanted to say but hadn't yet.

"So what you said back then was true."

Liu Shang leaned back in his chair, as if he had suddenly lost his soul. He recalled what Gu Hai had said when he left, that he would become like him sooner or later. Liu Shang had no idea that he had already changed without anyone noticing.

"What else could I do? You know how I ended up in this chair. If I hadn't done this, I'd be in the same situation as Gu Hai by now, wouldn't I?"

Ultimately, Liu Shang couldn't bear to give up his position, which is why he made so many changes. He wanted to avoid repeating Gu Hai's mistakes, only to find that the more he didn't want to become someone else, the more likely he was to become one.

Not knowing what to do, the bystander asked Gong Yi.

"Be yourself again, that's the only way to gain the trust of employees and give them hope of staying with the company."

From an outsider's perspective, Gong Yi didn't know what to say to Liu Shang, so he could only explain to Liu Shang why Zhang He and Lei Yansheng had left.

"You gave me this to tell me why Lei Yansheng and Zhang He left, right?"

After listening to what Gong Yi said, Liu Shang understood why Gong Yi had brought this up, and sighed as he spoke.

“That’s right. Right now, no one in the company can carry the banner of the business department. Even though Da Xiong has been working here for a long time, he’s still in the process of growing up. As for the second boss, I don’t need to say anything more. The business department is a bridge for the company to the outside world. If this bridge is a shoddy project, nothing will be accomplished.”

Gong Yi then told Liu Shang about some of the problems that had arisen in the business department after Zhang He left.

"You're absolutely right! Now that Zhang He and Lei Yansheng are both gone, they're definitely not coming back. Who else can I use in the company now?"

Liu Shang was well aware of his younger brother's abilities, but to show his remorse, he couldn't refuse to let Liu Gong become the manager. He thought of someone else in the company who could handle the job, but couldn't think of anyone after a long time. Then, looking at the HR manager, who would surely know the company's employees better, Liu Shang frowned and asked Gong Yi.

"There really aren't any in the company, because those who are capable saw that there was no room for advancement, so they all submitted their resignations and left."

After listening to Liu Shang's words, Gong Yi thought of the employees who had left one after another and felt very sorry. He truthfully told Liu Shang what had happened.

"Is it possible that the entire company can't find a single capable person?"

Hearing that none of his company's hundreds of employees were capable of handling the job, he asked Gong Yi in surprise. If what Gong Yi said was true, then his company was a failure.

"Just because you don't have any more in the company doesn't mean you don't have any people you can't use."

Just as Gong Yi was about to say that he really didn't, a person's image suddenly came to mind, and he said to Liu Shang in a mysterious way.

"Speak your mind now, who is it?"

Hearing that they were still being deliberately mysterious at this point, Liu Shang was getting impatient and eager to know who else they could use, or someone he couldn't think of.

"It's your younger brother, Liu Shuang!"

Gong Yi hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and said to Liu Shang.

Do you know what you're saying?

When Liu Shang heard that Gong Yi was referring to Liu Shuang, his expression changed instantly. He wondered if he had misheard. Someone he trusted wanted him to give important responsibilities to someone who wanted to rebel. He asked again in disbelief.

"I'm talking about Liu Shuang. Think carefully about his previous performance. No one else dared to act like that before. When everyone came to the company to question and cause trouble, he handled everything in an orderly manner. If you ask me to choose someone else, please forgive me for not being able to think of anyone else."

Gong Yi was unaware of the conflict between Liu Shang and Liu Shuang, nor did he know whether Liu Shuang was responsible; he simply acknowledged Liu Shuang's abilities.

"I understand. All the new employees have been hired. You need to carefully screen them and see who we can focus on developing. The company is currently facing a talent shortage."

Liu Shang's mind was in turmoil. Instead of immediately answering Gong Yi's question, he changed the subject to the new employees.

After Gong Yi's explanation, a potential problem within the company was discovered.

We can only start by focusing on new employees and cultivating those who are wholeheartedly dedicated to the company.

"Okay, it's my job to keep quiet about these things."

Not hearing a reply from Liu Shang, Gong Yi could only say something helplessly before turning and leaving Liu Shang's office.

After all, Liu Shuang was the one who imprisoned him. If he were to release Liu Shuang now, who knows what Liu Shuang, who has been imprisoned for so long, would be thinking? Liu Shang was also afraid that he would not be able to control him and would not solve the problem, but instead shoot himself in the foot.

After a busy night, Zhang Xinlei and the others returned to the villa.

"Big Sister, the young master hasn't been found yet."

"Could it have been Young Master Tu who did it?"

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense without evidence!"

...

Everyone was sharing their guesses, while Zhang Xinlei sat on the sofa.

He sat on the sofa, listening to them talk, his face expressionless.
