The first person to put righteousness before family
Bohoo Technology Co., Ltd.
Xiao Wei, Xiao Tianqi's daughter, was studying in Europe and America. Her original plan was to gain experience abroad for another two years before returning, but unexpectedly, her family company ran into trouble, forcing her to rush back to take over.
The matter is largely settled.
The company's previous strategy was to try to persuade Tang Yue to drop the lawsuit, but this had little effect and even backfired. Xiao Wei decisively stopped wasting time on this matter and instead focused on controlling the losses as quickly as possible to minimize them.
Xiao Tianqi was too busy with his own affairs to manage the company.
Before Xiao Wei returned, the company's middle and senior management were already in a bit of a mess.
The company was not listed and had always been managed by Xiao Tianqi, so it was very easy for Xiao Wei to take over and reorganize it, especially those middle and senior managers with rigid thinking.
As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean.
The first step was to publicly apologize to Tang Yue and netizens on the official Weibo account of Bohu Technology Co., Ltd., while also releasing an internal rectification statement.
The second measure was to quickly optimize the bottom-ranking elimination system after issuing the rectification statement.
They brought the bottom-ranking elimination system, which had been distorted by Xiao Tianqi, back on track, and also showed some leniency towards newly recruited fresh graduates.
Once the shadow of "being laid off" is removed from employees' heads, the next step is to strengthen employee training.
The impression he made was that he was deeply aware of his mistakes and actively correcting them.
The statement also implied that Bohoo has a new leader.
This undoubtedly slightly improved Bohu's already low public image, and most people supported the change.
However… it's rather embarrassing for a father to be lectured on his mistakes by his daughter. Especially for Xiao Tianqi, who has always considered himself a successful person, it's even more unacceptable.
The moment he saw the new Weibo post, he forgot all about his conversation with his lawyer and immediately called Xiao Wei to question her.
However, the student surpasses the teacher.
Xiao Wei, especially after so many years of experience abroad, had long surpassed her father: "Dad, don't you realize you're wrong?"
“From the very beginning of this matter until now, you have had countless opportunities to correct your mistakes, but you insisted on going down a dark path, which is why you have ended up like this.”
"If only you had promptly provided Tang Yue with the financial compensation, hadn't been so impulsive as to speak out on Weibo, and hadn't pressed her so relentlessly afterward."
"How many times did I tell you when I was abroad not to do anything illegal, and not to exploit your employees too much? Employees are people too. But you just wouldn't listen, you wouldn't turn back until you hit a brick wall. Now you've hit a brick wall and you still won't turn back?"
"I'm helping you stabilize the situation right now."
Xiao Tianqi's anger immediately subsided; it really was him...
Xiao Tianqi had been in power for many years, and understanding the people's sentiments was completely ineffective for him.
As the de facto controller of the company, every penny he squeezed out from the market and employees ended up in his own pocket.
Who could remain true to themselves and not be greedy under such circumstances?
But Xiao Wei is different. During the crucial stage of her life when her values were fully formed, she saw more foreign culture than local culture.
These ideas that migrated to Central China were also slightly modified to suit local conditions.
Her philosophy of leadership is based on treating people as human beings.
Especially in this day and age.
Xiao Wei made no attempt to hide the fact that she felt her father's views were outdated. After calmly finishing her scathing remarks, she hung up the phone decisively: "You should think about it carefully. Maybe if you sincerely apologize to Tang Yue and the employees you've hurt, you'll have a better chance of escaping legal punishment."
However, these words were merely words of comfort.
It's obvious that the authorities want to use this incident to establish their authority.
Xiao Wei had been abroad before, and when she suddenly returned to China, she was still an outsider to the situation. She understood many things much better than her father, who was deeply involved in the situation.
The third spark, however, spread quietly and slowly—the implementation of the fundamental principle of treating employees as human beings.
Those who disagree with us can be gradually dismantled, packaged, and optimized to produce talent for society.
Bohoo, this old-fashioned company, should also be revitalized in the new era.
Xiao Wei is ambitious and doesn't try to hide it much.
If Xiao Wei continues down this path, frankly speaking, after Xiao Tianqi resolves his immediate crisis, it's uncertain whether he'll still be able to control the company as freely as before three months later.
"Mr. Xiao, the basic information on the personnel transfer is out." The secretary knocked on the door and brought in a document.
Xiao Wei took the opportunity to pull herself out of her thoughts about the past.
According to Jiang Chuan's fixed time management schedule, he would leave work on time at 4:30.
Actually, the normal time to leave work is 5:00 PM.
However, in order to avoid meeting his own company's employees as much as possible, Jiang Chuan usually leaves half an hour early.
The freedom to be a boss is best found here.
Because I traveled during off-peak hours, I avoided the evening rush hour traffic jams. I arrived home exactly half an hour later, at 5 o'clock sharp.
After a short rest, I started cooking at 5:20.
Today's ingredients were ordered in advance and delivered to my doorstep.
Jiang Chuan glanced at the time before taking off his watch to officially start cooking. The perfect timing gave him a subtle sense of comfort.
The count watched silently as the man busied himself in the kitchen.
These days, the Earl has been seeing a new world on the internet, and every night he is pushed some food videos by evil big data, but this is the first time he has seen a health food blogger like Jiang Chuan.
He is a homebody adult male.
This style seems rather rare, and the Earl quietly added it to his human collection encyclopedia.
Tonight's simple meal is stir-fried beef with celery, followed by a beef rice bowl that the Earl insisted on adding.
We finished eating at 6:30, and then took care of some household chores as well.
Jiang Chuan checked the time again.
I don't have to go out for the night shift tonight, and I still have 4 hours until bedtime. After some self-improvement study, it's 8:00 PM sharp.
There was plenty of time. If it were Jiang Chuan in the past, he would probably choose to go out for a walk around this time.
However, people change a lot in a short time, and now he no longer limits his walks to the garden downstairs in his apartment building.
Jiang Chuan changed into a more casual outfit suitable for going out, and then stood in front of his display case looking for something.
Where are you going again?
The count was somewhat helpless. From the word "again" in his words, one could tell that Jiang Chuan had been neglecting his duties at night many times—in fact, only twice, and this was the third time.
How should I put it? He seems like a total shut-in, but he actually seems to really enjoy wandering around.
Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka is a small island nation in the Indian Ocean, known as "God's Tear" and "Pearl of the Indian Ocean" because its land area is shaped like a teardrop.
Sri Lanka is a small country with abundant resources and tourism. The peak tourist season in Sri Lanka is from November to March every year.
Jiang Chuan did not hide his destination. As the magical guardian whose identity was bound to him, the count would automatically follow him no matter where he teleported.
"Was this something you planned long ago, or was it a spur-of-the-moment idea?" The count pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but ask.
"the latter."
He never expected that this human would have a sudden impulse. He had always thought that this man was the type who would never take the first step without a plan.
Seemingly sensing the Earl's thoughts, Jiang Chuan turned his face away, pretending not to know.
After becoming a human with magic, traveling at night became extremely easy. So he had planned his nighttime schedule in advance, specifically setting aside time to wander around the world.
The location is never fixed.
It wasn't until 8 o'clock that I started randomly thinking about where I should go.
Jiang Chuan grabbed his things right on time, and at exactly 8:15, he teleported directly to a small hill in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lankan time is 2.5 hours behind that of China. While it is already night in China, it is still sunset here.
He landed in a deserted place and then watched the exotic sunset, which resembled an oil painting.
The fire turned the entire orange sky red, and the people and boats placed against the light in the oil painting were slightly underexposed, showing only clear silhouettes without any specific details.
Birds, too, are shadows that cannot be colored; in the field of vision, they become small, varied landing points, high and low.
Everything was bathed in the warm light of the sunset.
Dusk was falling, but life was still vibrant.
Jiang Chuan adjusted his angle, then seized the opportunity to capture this frame with his camera. His hand was pale, with strong, well-defined knuckles, creating a striking contrast with the inorganic nature of the camera.
In his early years, when he neither worked nor went to school, he taught himself photography.
I've bought a lot of equipment; I'd call myself an enthusiast in the circle.
However, due to social anxiety, or perhaps a deeper fear of getting too close to people, his photographic works never feature specific people.
They are all observing from a higher, more detached perspective.
The kitten remained silent for a moment, then, somewhat bored, squatted down to Jiang Chuan's right and started looking for a topic of conversation. It curiously asked about a note it had seen on Jiang Chuan's computer desktop document that afternoon.
"What does it mean that the dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself?" That annotation was for Xiao Wei, who returned to China to take up the post of president of Bohu, and was followed by a question mark indicating "unknown".
Jiang Chuan didn't give any response.
The count had no choice but to raise his voice and ask again.
Jiang Chuan seemed to hear him then, tilting his head: "What did you say?"
It was just a small topic, but the Earl repeated it three times.
"This sentence comes from a fairy tale, which should be quite common in your magic test, so I won't go into details. However, the ending may be a little different."
"In the end, the warrior defeated the dragon and rescued the princess. However, he was then dazzled by the treasure left behind by the dragon, and dragon scales began to grow on his body, making him the new dragon."
Jiang Chuan patiently explained.
Although the count doesn't usually like to use his brain, he can still quickly grasp the meaning of a story with such obvious implications.
"I feel that the ending of this story is a stigmatization of true warriors. The ending of the story on the magic side is not like that. True warriors will not be swayed by their own inner desires."
"It could even be said that their own desires are not in these external things."
It's rare to see such a cultured earl.
"So that's just a story from your magical side; in the human world, it's much more complicated."
Jiang Chuan described the differences between the two worlds.
After all, in the Magical Girl Management Bureau, someone like Chen Rui could be considered extremely vicious.
Magical creatures are still mostly simple.
"Would Xiao Wei be like this too?" — Xiao Wei, who was specially "invited" back to China by Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Chuan shook his head, then nodded: "I can't say for sure, but there's a probability."
"But in the real world, I have also seen real warriors." The count profoundly refuted Jiang Chuan's theory that there were no warriors in the real world, and then bestowed a halo upon Jiang Chuan.
"I think you are an unchanging warrior."
As soon as the count finished speaking, Jiang Chuan seemed to notice something. He pulled his gaze out of the viewfinder and looked the count up and down.
This elegant and already plump cat has become quite fat and is almost out of shape after arriving on the real world and being captivated by the wide variety of human delicacies it offers.
If before, elegance could be equated with grace, now she's just a little lump of coal.
Moreover, the pads on all four feet are pinkish-brown like coal lumps.
The count didn't realize he'd made a fool of himself with flattery. He was still wondering why Jiang Chuan was suddenly looking at him, and he shifted slightly, a little embarrassed, and struck a pose.
Have we finally seen His pure and flawless heart through His elegant and noble appearance?
Or were they moved by His sincere confession?
Jiang Chuan did not press the matter further.
The count forgot about it immediately, and then inappropriately brought up the KPI at this moment.
He felt that Jiang Chuan had been on vacation for a long time, even though it was only a few days in the real world, but... it was time to get back to work!
It's almost been a short holiday of one and a half months.
"Oh right, I forgot to ask you, this so-called magic wand, Miss Anivea, is...?"
If the Earl were to bring this up during his vacation, Jiang Chuan wouldn't hesitate to pursue the questions he hadn't finished asking before.
"Hmm... it's actually an item that increases the success rate of magic spells and helps the user to calm their mind, but this effect doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."
After all, the ability itself is magic.
As if afraid that Jiang Chuan would find it unappealing, the Earl hurriedly added another function: "Whenever the power of this wand is fully charged, you can use the remaining power of prayer to designate a logical event to happen within the next month, and this event is bound to succeed."
Jiang Chuan listened, looking thoughtful.
He summoned Miss Anivea, and sure enough, he could see that after the Bohu incident, there were very girly little starlight dots inside this fire stick.
It flutters and blinks, like the trembling wings of a butterfly.
However, it's not much; compared to the entire wand, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Jiang Chuan stared in a daze at the magic wand that could grant wishes in the future. Such power was almost comparable to that of a god. Could it be that magic could influence reality in such a way?
Looking at the young man's expression as he stared at the magic wand.
The count immediately recalled the dangerous question Jiang Chuan had asked when he first learned of his magical abilities.
He quickly added, "Please note that this is also logical; otherwise, it would violate the basic laws of the world, especially since death and rebirth are impossible!"
You guys are really mean! In just one day, you owe one update in the comments section and two updates in the nutrient solution section.
How can there still be people exploiting bugs to check in and make up for lost points every chapter? I know it's normal, but "How can there still be people exploiting bugs?" (Tears welling up) QAQ
So young and already burdened with debt... It's heartbreaking.
Let me calculate, there will be two updates over the weekend, and the update on Tuesday will be to make up for the comments.
No matter how much more, even the donkeys in the production team couldn't write it all. Everyone should restrain themselves a little.
The latest detailed rules for the update are now available in the text section.
The comment count has changed; I really can't keep up with updating the photobook every 200 comments (terrified big eyes) (terrified, weak, and helpless tendonitis paws).
