Just as Chen Yu was struggling to make a decision after listening to Liu Menghan's long speech, Liu Menghan changed the subject and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, don't you think what I just said makes a lot of sense?"
"What?" Chen Yu was pulled back to his senses by Liu Menghan's sudden question and was slightly taken aback.
"People always like to hear what they want to hear. If we can judge whether someone is sincere and trustworthy based solely on their words, isn't that too arbitrary?" Liu Menghan shook her head.
Chen Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Good heavens, he had actually been tricked by Liu Menghan. This woman is no simpleton!
"Liu Menghan, what exactly are you trying to say? Or rather, what do you want?" Chen Yu asked in a deep voice.
If Liu Menghan only wanted to join Tianyu Base, then she wouldn't have needed to say so much to him. With her abilities, joining Tianyu Base would be no problem at all under normal circumstances.
But she insisted on being so unconventional in front of him. Just when she was about to convince Chen Yu, she suddenly changed the subject, overturning all the groundwork she had laid, leaving Chen Yu unsure of how much of what she said was true and how much was false.
“It’s very simple. I want to join Tianyu Base, but not as an ordinary member.” Liu Menghan smiled confidently. “I want to become a partner of Tianyu Base, someone who can truly participate in the core decision-making of the base.”
Chen Yu sneered upon hearing this: "You do have quite the ambition, but do you remember what I just told you? I hate scheming people the most. Letting such a person become a high-ranking member of the base will only lead to internal strife and division."
Hearing Chen Yu say this, Liu Menghan remained calm. She smiled slightly and said, "Everything in this world has two sides. So-called scheming is nothing more than the insight and utilization of human nature. The key lies in how to use this ability. I believe that Tianyu Base needs more than just loyalty and enthusiasm; it also needs wisdom and strategy. I have the ability to bring new perspectives and solutions to the base."
Hearing Liu Menghan say this, Chen Yu was speechless. It was true that Tianyu Base needed to develop, but he needed stability even more. If someone as scheming as Liu Menghan were to join Tianyu Base and enter the core decision-making level, who knew when Tianyu Base might change hands to Liu?
"I think you can see that Tianyu Base has management problems. But that's understandable; managing a large organization, especially in this chaotic world, is not easy. And I am confident that I can integrate my experience and wisdom into Tianyu Base, help it solve its current predicament, and lead it to a more glorious future." Liu Menghan's eyes shone with sincerity and determination as she continued, "I don't want to replace anyone, nor am I here for personal gain. I know that a strong base cannot exist without the cooperation and joint efforts of the team. I am willing to be that bridge, connecting different voices and ideas, and working together for the prosperity of the base."
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu had to admit that Liu Menghan's words made some sense.
However, upon further reflection, he realized that he couldn't make a decision based solely on the other party's words. Moreover, if he were to give such a person an important position, it would be tantamount to playing with fire. If the other party had any ulterior motives, it might not be enough to make him burn himself, but it could also plunge the base into unnecessary turmoil.
Chen Yu frowned, his gaze scrutinizing Liu Menghan intently, as if trying to penetrate her words and reach her heart.
However, Liu Menghan's scheming was so deep that Chen Yu could not easily discern her true thoughts.
Even now, he doesn't know how much of what the other person said was true and how much was false.
Chen Yu even suspected that the other party's initial approach to him was a deliberate attempt to reveal her weaknesses in order to better understand his reactions and attitudes, paving the way for subsequent negotiations. Once this thought surfaced, it grew wildly in his mind like weeds, making him even more wary of Liu Menghan.
If that's true, then this woman is terrifying.
If it were based on his usual style of doing things, he would have rejected such a person without even thinking about it, and it wouldn't be impossible for him to find a reason to kill him.
He doesn't trust such people, but if such people aren't used by him, they might become his enemies in the future. Wouldn't letting them live just cause trouble for his future self?
However, today, he has developed some interest in Liu Menghan.
While others scheme in secret, Liu Menghan did the opposite, openly displaying her scheming as if she were showing it off to him.
It must be said that the other party is ambitious and audacious. This kind of blatant display of cunning is undoubtedly a gamble. If they win, they will soar to great heights; if they lose, they may very well lose their lives.
With their methods so openly displayed, Chen Yu really couldn't find fault with them.
He was at a loss for what to do.
Shaking his head, Chen Yu decided on a compromise.
He spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "Very well, Liu Menghan, I'll give you a chance. Didn't you say there were problems with the new member interview mechanism at Tianyu Base? It just so happens that the base needs to reorganize its internal personnel during this period and will suspend new member interviews. If you can optimize the interview mechanism to be both fair and efficient during this time, and ensure that the selection of talents who truly meet the values and needs of Tianyu Base, then I can consider officially letting you join Tianyu Base and giving you important responsibilities."
Upon hearing this, Liu Menghan's eyes flashed with surprise and excitement, and she nodded repeatedly: "No problem!"
Chen Yu waved and instructed a militiaman, "Go and call Qi Xiaowei here."
Not long after, Qi Xiaowei arrived in a hurry.
"Mr. Chen, such a serious oversight in the management of the Haidu branch base is due to my dereliction of duty. Please punish me, Mr. Chen." Qi Xiaowei apologized solemnly as soon as he saw Chen Yu, clearly already aware of what had just happened.
Chen Yu waved his hand, indicating that Qi Xiaowei didn't need to blame himself too much: "The responsibility doesn't lie with you alone. The problems at the Haidu branch base are complex and far-reaching, and we need to face and solve them together. Now, I have a new task for you."
As he spoke, Chen Yu turned his gaze to Liu Menghan and continued, "This is Liu Menghan. From now on, she will be the temporary management consultant for the Haidu branch, specifically responsible for optimizing our new member interview mechanism. I hope you can fully support her work and ensure that this reform can proceed smoothly."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaowei glanced back and forth between Liu Menghan and Chen Yu before finally nodding in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Chen. I will fully cooperate with Consultant Liu to ensure that the reform of the interview mechanism is effective."
Liu Menghan smiled and extended her hand to Qi Xiaowei: "Chief Qi, hello, I look forward to your guidance in the future."
Qi Xiaowei politely replied, "Advisor Liu, you're too kind. Let's work together to contribute to the future development of Tianyu Base."
