Chapter 42 I Want to Be Absolutely Safe
"Shi Shi, come in and take a look." Qian Duoduo ran into the inner hall. Shi Shi was attracted by him and stepped inside. Long Wei couldn't stand in the way of the child, so she leaned aside and followed the adult in shamelessly. She was angry that her son treated his toys as treasures and wanted to be admired by others. She didn't want to accompany them to see the treasures, but stood with her back against the entrance cabinet, waiting for them to finish viewing quickly. He didn't go in, but put the drone he gave to Qian Duoduo on the ground and pointed it at her. Even though there was something like sincerity flowing in his eyes, she felt oppressed, uncomfortable with the sequelae, and moved her feet to check on the people in the living room. "Wait a moment." He pulled her elbow, then immediately released it, looking her straight in the eye with a sincere tone. "I came here to apologize. It's my fault. There were some damn misunderstandings that caused so much trouble. You shouldn't bear the loss. I'm sorry." She had been poisoned by his rants before, each flare-up bringing a wave of pain and resentment. Now, he offered an apology as the antidote. Whether it would ease the resentment, she didn't know yet; it would depend on whether it flared up again later, but she knew at that moment, she had no fondness for him at all. She needed to be allowed to refuse more than to be apologized to. "It doesn't matter. Whether you misunderstood or not, no one cares," she responded flatly. Qian Duoduo then urged, "Where's Mom? Where's Uncle?" He ran to the entrance to check. "Uncle, come and see!" He glanced down at her, then immediately followed Qian Duoduo's call. Qian Duoduo's Buzz Lightyears were arranged from largest to smallest. There were several of them. They were rewards from Li Huaigang's order, newly purchased two days ago, new favorites. He played along with the child's boasting, making exaggerated comments, thanking him for sharing. He asked her for a few minutes, and he really only wanted a few minutes, as he had to rush to the office. As they were about to leave, he wandered over to her and said, "Qian Enming is amazing, very well-educated." "Just a rough upbringing." "Thanks for the skateboard. They both said they wanted to learn together. Qian Enming said he has a coach. Could you please send me the coach's WeChat?" He pulled out his phone. "I don't recommend it. They're too young, it's not safe. Their bones aren't fully developed yet, and their coordination isn't great. Qian Enming is just playing around. The coach doesn't want to help." She refused, and that was the truth. He pulled Shi Shi closer, "Shi Shi, thank you, Auntie. Please do me a favor." Shi Shi, moved by him, said softly, "Thank you, Auntie." He flipped through his phone, found "Qian Enming's mom" in the class group, and sent her a friend request. This awful skateboard she gave him. She smiled at Shi Shi, "You're welcome. Wait a minute!" She quickly went to her room to get her phone. She came back with a piece of paper with the coach's WeChat ID she had just copied down on her phone. She handed it to Shi Shi, "You can add..."
"Shi Shi, come in and take a look." Qian Duoduo ran into the inner hall.
Shi Shi was attracted by him and stepped forward.
Long Weihe couldn't block the child's way, so she leaned aside, and the adult followed in shamelessly.
She was angry that her sons treated their toys as treasures and wanted to show them to others. She refused to accompany them to see the treasures, but stood with her back against the hallway cabinet, waiting for them to finish viewing them quickly.
He didn't go in. He put the drone he gave to Qian Duoduo on the ground and stared at her.
Even though there was something like sincerity flowing in his eyes, she still felt oppressed, and she felt uncomfortable with the aftereffects. She moved her feet and prepared to go see the people in the living room.
"Wait a moment." He pulled her elbow and then immediately let go, looking her straight in the eye with a sincere tone, "I came here to apologize to you. My problem, there were some damn misunderstandings, which caused a lot of trouble. You shouldn't bear the loss. I'm sorry."
She had been poisoned by his rants before, each time a flare-up would cause her to burst into pain and hatred. Now he offered an apology as the antidote. Whether it would relieve her hatred or not, she didn't know yet; it would depend on whether it flared up again later. But she knew at this moment she had no feelings for him at all. She needed to be allowed to say no more than to be apologized to.
"It doesn't matter. No one cares whether you misunderstood or not." She reacted calmly.
Qian Duoduo urged at this time, "Where's Mom? Where's Uncle?" He ran to the entrance and took a look, "Uncle, come and see!"
He lowered his eyes to look at her, then immediately followed Qian Duoduo's call.
Qian Duoduo’s Buzz Lightyears are arranged from big to small, there are quite a few of them, they are rewards for Li Huaigang’s order, they were newly purchased two days ago, they are my new favorites.
He catered to the children's desire to show off and made exaggerated comments. Thank you for sharing.
He asked her to give him a few minutes, and he really only wanted a few minutes as he had to rush to the company.
Just as he was about to leave, he walked over to her and said, "Qian Enming is really great. He's a very good educator."
"Just rough breeding."
"Thanks for the skateboard. They both said they wanted to learn together. Qian Enming said he has a coach. Could you please send me the coach's WeChat?" He took out his cell phone.
"I don't recommend learning it. They are too young and it's not safe. Their bones are not fully developed yet and their coordination is not good. Qian Enming is just playing around. The coach doesn't want to take them." She refused and she was telling the truth.
He pulled Shi Shi and said, "Shi Shi, thank you, Auntie. Please help me."
Shi Shi was moved by him and said softly, "Thank you, Auntie."
He flipped through his phone, found "Qian Enming's mother" in the class group, and sent her a friend request.
This is a terrible skateboard. She smiled at Shi Shi and said, "You're welcome. Wait!"
She quickly went to the room to get her cell phone.
She came back with a piece of paper with the coach's WeChat ID that she had just copied down on her phone. She handed it to Shi Shi and said, "You can add this WeChat ID and ask him."
Being blocked for more than two years was like being locked up in a dark room. He could block her or release her whenever he wanted. Who did he think he was? She looked at him and said, "Sorry, I'm running out of time. I have to go to work."
He smiled, put away his phone, squatted down and said to Shi Shi, "Goodbye to Auntie and Qian Enming. Let's go skateboarding together next time."
As soon as they left, Long Weihe called Lin Yao, who had been following the situation and had even sent a message on his way to work to inquire about the situation.
Long Weihe told her about Shi Zhenglin's visit to her home to apologize, saying that there was nothing special going on and that the matter should be considered closed and that they should not bother asking about it anymore. She then asked her about her trip back to her hometown.
"What do you want to take back? I'll prepare something for grandma."
"I'll be back in two days. Everything is already prepared. Don't worry about it."
Lin Yao's grandmother is turning 90 next week. Tang Ruifen called two months ago to discuss the matter, saying she'd be hosting a banquet and asking if she'd be back. She returns to her hometown for the Lunar New Year holiday mainly to visit her grandmother, but she didn't go back this year. She'd wanted to go back and see her grandmother, and she'd discussed this with Long Wei last night.
Long Weihe had accompanied her to her hometown and was particularly fond of her grandmother. Every time Lin Yao came home, she would prepare some things for her to take back.
After hanging up, Qian Enming asked her why she'd lied and why she didn't go to work with Lin Yao. She scratched his nose and said that Shi Shi and the others had delayed her and were late, and that someone else had canceled. She told him not to bring anyone home casually anymore, as it would affect her work. If he didn't make enough money, he wouldn't be able to buy him new toys. There was no point in showing off. Qian Duoduo stuck out her tongue at her.
After Shi Zhenglin left Long Wei's family, he returned to the company. Fang Siyu found him to report on yesterday's meeting, and he asked him to find Jiang Lingli.
"I didn't attend yesterday's meeting. I want to hear your thoughts on the core issues discussed with the agency. Mr. Jiang, please tell us about human resources." Shi Zhenglin gestured for Jiang Lingli to sit down.
Fang Siyu felt strange because he had just reported everything to him.
"There's no problem with human resources. Yesterday, I mainly discussed the listing risks associated with human resources compliance and team stability with the agency. There are no compliance issues, and unless there are any special emergencies, the risk of our team's stability impacting the listing is extremely small. This is my own assessment report," Jiang Lingli handed him the document. "President Yu Si has reviewed it and provided it to the agency for evaluation. It's basically consistent with the human resources section of the agency's due diligence report."
Jiang Lingli had adapted to his style during this period, and he saw through all her attempts to rebel, but he dealt with things objectively and never made things difficult for her. He even adjusted the salaries of her team, and she also cooperated a lot, gradually leaning towards him from the old school.
Fang Siyu continued, "I've read the report. There aren't any labor risk loopholes. The structure meets listing requirements, and the supporting systems are standardized. Regarding the team, core personnel have undergone compliance reviews upon joining and signed integrity pledges. Stability guarantees are comprehensive. The public consultation on the equity incentive plan has concluded, and everyone agrees. We've also signed service period agreements and non-compete agreements. The agency gave this area high praise in their due diligence report. Currently, the human resources preparations for the listing have met standards."
Shi Zhenglin was not unaware of the situation; he had signed a bunch of documents himself.
He nodded with a satisfied expression, "The human resources integration capabilities exceeded my expectations. Mr. Jiang is professional and efficient, and he did an excellent job."
Jiang Lingli really enjoyed receiving praise from her boss. It was rare for her to receive such high praise. She smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Mr. Shi's guidance. I've learned a lot from him during this time, and I think I've figured out how to go public."
"Did the agency give any other listing risk warnings or contingency plans regarding human resources yesterday?" Shi Zhenglin asked.
Jiang Lingli thought for a moment. "Oh, yes, there's the risk of core staff suddenly leaving. However, with our IPO situation so good and the current environment, no one will leave, right?"
She keeps an eye on internal human resources dynamics every day, and she is most sensitive to stability.
Fang Siyu continued, "It's hard to say if someone suddenly resigns due to special circumstances."
Jiang Lingli paused, "Do you mean the kind caused by family factors or health problems?"
Fang Siyu responded, "Yes, it's not a normal career development choice. But it's a matter of probability. Listing regulations primarily consider executive stability to ensure the continuity of a company's governance structure and strategic direction. Quantitatively, there's no specific, unified standard. In our case, a turnover rate under 20% should be safe. Qualitatively, unless the departures involve the CEO, CFO, or head of R&D, if there are no mitigating measures to prove that there's no impact on the continuity of the company's governance structure and strategic direction, it could be considered a major change."
Shi Zhenglin didn't need to ask any more questions; he knew all too well what the intermediary would suggest. He'd just dragged them into the topic and listened to their discussion, avoiding any potential irritations. Having left a job at a listed company, he was incredibly familiar with the rules and procedures.
"The main issue is personnel reserves and transition. Also, to avoid a chain reaction of resignations, I'll just make a contingency plan."
Jiang Lingli actually took the initiative to take on work for him.
Having achieved his goal, Shi Zhenglin smiled and said, "Excellent! You should think more carefully according to the listing regulations and communicate more with the intermediaries. The contingency plan should at least deal with regulatory inquiries after the application to ensure there is no impact. I want the listing to be foolproof."
After the discussion, Jiang Lingli left the office first, while Fang Siyu stayed.
"The business and financial data are almost ready. I want to complete all the preparation work for the listing by September," Shi Zhenglin told him.
“The schedule is to be completed in October and enter the application period in November.”
"The application period plan remains unchanged, and the preparatory period work is completed a month ahead of schedule. Wouldn't it be safer to give us an extra month to check for any deficiencies and fill any gaps?"
"I understand. Let's give it a try. We can definitely finish it by September."
"Thank you for your hard work. Go ahead and get busy."
Fang Yusi was about to leave. He rested his elbows on the desk and rubbed his forehead repeatedly with his fingertips.
Leaving was incredibly complex, and he needed to carefully plan his departure. Jiang Lingli was just one small part of the equation. He wanted his departure to be a rationally planned, controllable change, not a volatile, IPO-like event. Before he mentioned it to his boss, he wanted to lay out everything, including his replacement.
The hardest part was finding a replacement. Finding one that would be a good fit for the IPO was incredibly difficult. He could control everything else, but this one was subject to immense uncertainty. His brow furrowed in frustration.
