But it was difficult not to answer the president's question, so the assistant answered in a roundabout way:

"As for Vice President He, I don't know how to evaluate him. He has the ability and experience, but he works very hard and is so competitive that he would drink himself to death to get a project!

That would be fine, but he would personally review each project before starting it, and also list all the precautions for his subordinates. I have worked with him several times, and basically I don’t have to worry about anything.”

When Shen Boyue mentioned the project, he had a question, "In this case, where did we fail in the Nancheng Military Industry project?"

With so many projects, how come you only remember this one that didn't work out? The assistant's smile froze, "Vice President He can't really be blamed for the Nancheng Military Industry project.

This project is more of an internal decision-making process than a bidding process.

The Nancheng military industry project is a key project in Beijing. Not only does it require a large investment and will earn a lot of money, but once it is successful, the company's brand effect will also increase.

We regard this as a priority, and so do other companies, especially Yu's. I heard that they had established connections with the person in charge before the project was put up for public bidding.

More than once, people said that they saw Mr. Yu of Yu Group eating and playing ball with the person in charge arm in arm.

The project has already been decided by Yu Shi, we are just running along, no matter how hard we try it will be useless."

This kind of thing is normal in the business world, but normal doesn't mean acceptable. Shen Boyue, who hates the unspoken rules in the business world the most, couldn't comment on it for the moment. He couldn't curse this dark world in front of his assistant and little niece!

Are you stupid?

His silence was seen as unhappiness by his assistant.

Fearing that the president would be angry with Vice President He because of this, the assistant tried to make amends, "After knowing the inside story, Vice President He was also very angry. In order to win this project, Vice President He did not even go back to see his mother who was seriously ill."

The assistant sighed, "The doctor diagnosed that she would not live for more than twelve hours. The old lady waited for Vice President He to come home for three days and three nights, and finally she died because she could not hold on any longer.

He couldn't close his eyes until he died. Vice President He cried for several days because of this."

"..." Shen Boyue frowned even deeper, "Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"

The assistant touched his nose awkwardly, "Didn't we fail to get the Nancheng Military Industry project? Mr. He felt ashamed and didn't say anything.

Not only did he not say it, he also didn’t allow us to say it. President, please don’t say that I said it.”

"Work is work, family is family. Work is to give family a better life. He didn't even see his old mother for the last time because of work. This behavior is unacceptable."

The assistant originally wanted to take credit for Mr. He, but he didn't expect that the new president would not buy it at all and even felt that he had messed up.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The assistant quickly echoed, "I said the same thing to him at the time, but Vice President He is a very grateful person.

He was admitted to the city from a small rural area. He was so poor that he couldn't even afford the tuition. It was the chairman who took pity on him and gave him an internship opportunity.

At that time, he had just entered university and was from the countryside. Not only did he have no skills, but he also didn't understand the ways of the world. What could he do?

To put it nicely, it's an internship, but in fact it's just giving him money in various ways so that he can complete his studies.

Mr. He told us more than once that if he were not the chairman, he would not have been able to finish college and would probably have his back hunched and his waist bent over from exhaustion working in the fields in the countryside.

Thanks to the help and promotion of the chairman, he can now live a good life in the city with a car, a house, a wife and children.

Therefore, he has deep feelings for the chairman and the company, and even feels that the chairman is his adopted parent and the company is his second home.

You have just taken office and what you need to do is to achieve results. If you can get the Nancheng Military Industry project, the company's GDP will quadruple this year.

After much deliberation, he decided to stay and focus on this project despite his seriously ill mother.

Unfortunately, the project was not successful and Vice President He was more sad than when his mother passed away.

Shen Boyue didn't quite understand Vice President He's approach, but he was inexplicably moved.

I was thinking about how to reward him with something that would both thank him for his dedication to the company and apologize to him for not being able to see his mother for the last time because of the company.

Shen Yue started to curse.

[No wonder Shen's went bankrupt. The employee's mother was not allowed to go back to see her for the last time. Where is human nature? ]

[They are just employees of the company, not slaves of the company. Shen deserves it for treating them like this! ]

Shen Boyue: ...

After observing along the way, Shen Boyue felt that the assistant might not be able to hear his inner voice. He began to think about how to express tactfully that it was Vice President He who took the initiative to do this and it was not a requirement of the company.

After thinking about it, I feel it’s difficult to say it, but fortunately there is a system that makes sense.

System: [Can you please read the question carefully? This is because Vice President He wanted to show off his ability and take credit for the project from your uncle, so he kept it a secret and that’s why it happened.

Didn't you listen to what your uncle said? He didn't know anything about it and thought it was unacceptable.

What did your uncle do wrong? 】

[How is my uncle not wrong? If my uncle hadn’t put too much pressure on him, would he not go back to see my mother for the last time because of the project?

If you have never been a human being, or have never been the financial breadwinner of a family in middle age, you will not understand.

Vice President He told the company about this, and the company will approve his leave, and then what? 】

System: [Then he won’t have to regret not seeing his mother for the last time.]

[So naive, so young! ]

Shen Yue spoke in an old lady-like tone, which made Shen Boyue laugh and cry.

[The leave was approved, but the boss was still unhappy, because in the boss's mind, the company's affairs were related to his interests and were more important to him than anything else, even if someone in his family died.

The employee put aside the most important things and took a few days off to go home. If the project is successful, it's fine. If the project fails, the responsibility will be all on him.

He will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the company in the future, especially at the level of vice president, who already earns the highest salary but does the least work.

Not only did he not devote himself to the company until his death, but he also caused losses to the company by deserting the battlefield. The boss will definitely find a way to fire him!

When people reach middle age, they have elderly parents and young children to take care of. They need money for mortgage, car loan, wife's cosmetics, children's schooling... all of them cost money.

Being unemployed means the whole family will starve to death, how dare he do that?

Now, even if the project fails, the boss will not fire him, but will reward him, considering that he did not even see his mother for the last time for the project and that he put the interests of the company first. 】

Shen Boyue, who was about to reward Vice President He, touched his nose guiltily.

I felt guilty but also thought it was unnecessary.

He is not the black-hearted boss that Shen Yue said, he really didn't know about this.

If he had known, he would never have allowed this to happen.

But Shen Yue still refused to give up her rumor-mongering attacks.
