"That's impossible!"
Du Chen's answer dashed Li Dewen and Xiami's expectations. They looked at Du Chen with a hint of grievance. Why was he breathing heavily when he spoke? If it wasn't allowed, then why bother asking them so much?
"Brother Li, it's impossible to completely retire, but if you just want to relax a little, then it's still possible!"
Du Chen looked at the two people's aggrieved eyes, chuckled, and then gave them a sweet treat.
"How?"
Li Dewen and Xiami asked Du Chen expectantly at the same time, eager to know what good ideas Du Chen had.
“You can learn from me!”
Du Chen took another sip of Jianlibao and reminded the two of them.
"Learn from you?"
Li Dewen was talking to himself in confusion, while Xiami's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have an idea.
"Chenchen, do you mean to learn from you and become a hands-off boss?"
Before Xiami could say anything, Li Dewen asked Du Chen in confusion.
“…”
Du Chen looked at Li Dewen depressedly, and wanted to spray Jianlibao all over his face.
Xiami also looked at Li Dewen in confusion, not understanding what his boss's train of thought was and why he could come up with such an outrageous answer.
"Brother Chen, do you mean that we two should also train a few people to replace us?"
Because Li Dewen was his boss after all, Xiami held back what was in his mind and then asked Du Chen.
"Yeah, that's right! You two can also train some successors!"
Du Chen looked at Xiami and nodded with satisfaction.
“Can it be reliable?”
Li Dewen expressed different opinions. First, he didn't believe anyone could do the job of him and Xiami. Second, he felt a little uneasy. After all, it involved so much small amount of money, and Li Dewen was still a little worried.
Du Chen did not answer Li Dewen's question, but looked at Xiami instead.
Xiami looked at Du Chen's eyes and understood that Du Chen didn't want to explain to Li Dewen and was going to let him and his boss explain in person, so he organized his words and then spoke to Li Dewen.
"Boss, there's nothing wrong!"
Li Dewen looked at Xiami, waiting for Xiami's explanation.
"First of all, we don't have to train two people to take over our jobs. We can train multiple people, with one person responsible for a part of our work. This way, the requirements for the trainees are not particularly high!"
"Also, if there are multiple people, their power won't be so concentrated. We don't have to worry about their ambitions growing and us being unable to control them. Furthermore, if there are multiple people taking over, we don't have to worry about them becoming too powerful to be controlled!"
Xiami carefully explained to Li Dewen, "Isn't that basically what Du Chen is doing now? Everyone has their own responsibilities, but they also check and balance each other. And who knows how many of them are Du Chen's hidden backups!"
What Xiami knew about Chen Yang's backup plan included himself. Du Chen had personally instructed him to keep an eye on Li Dewen to see if he had any tricks. Chen Junfeng and Du Bin were also among the backup constraints trained by Du Chen. This was what Xiami knew, and there were countless other things Xiami didn't know.
“Oh, I see!”
Li Dewen said with sudden enlightenment.
"To put it bluntly, it means breaking down the tasks we have into smaller pieces and assigning them to each person. They can only be in charge of the areas within their responsibilities. Furthermore, everyone can monitor and check each other, preventing them from becoming a community of shared interests. Is that what you mean?"
Li Dewen asked Xiang Xiami and Du Chen.
Du Chen looked at Li Dewen with a small smile. Although Li Dewen didn't react at first, the final summary was really good and very accurate! It seemed that all these years of leadership were not in vain.
"Well, Brother Li, you're right. This way, you two can relax. You don't even have to go to the office very often. You can just go over occasionally and check on the work. You can do whatever you want. It's not retirement, but it's almost like retirement!"
Du Chen said to Li Dewen and Xiami.
Du Chen's words startled Li Dewen and Xiami, then instantly excited. That's right, if Du Chen said just like that, things would be much easier for them! Du Chen was a prime example, wasn't he? Even though he seemed to be indifferent, the entire company was under his control!
"Haha? That's fine. After the New Year, I'll go back to the capital to make arrangements!"
Li Dewen said excitedly that he couldn't wait for his semi-retirement life!
"Brother Li, I'm not afraid of arranging people, but you must keep your eyes open! Remember to choose the right people!"
Du Chen looked at the excited Li Dewen and couldn't help but remind him.
"Well, I understand, don't worry!"
Li Dewen said to Du Chen happily.
"Brother Chen, don't worry, we will select the personnel carefully! Nothing will go wrong!"
Xiami also said that he was going to keep a close eye on his boss Li Dewen. Normally he was a bit careless, but this matter could not be taken lightly. The ability of the selected person would affect the stability of the company, which would involve their income.
So Xiami will also think carefully about the successor they choose.
"Haha, by then I'll move back to Yuncheng and not stay in the capital anymore!"
Li Dewen said happily.
"Boss, you're not going to stay in the capital anymore?"
Xiami asked Li Dewen in surprise. He had not thought about returning to Yuncheng to live yet. Even though he was in a semi-retired state, he still focused on work. So Xiami was still thinking about Beijing and had not considered returning to Yuncheng.
"Well, the pace of life in Beijing is too fast, I'm still not quite used to it! I guess I can just go back to Beijing once every two weeks from now on!"
Xiami looked at his boss helplessly. This matter was not yet decided, but his boss had already thought about the future arrangements. Suddenly, Xiami felt a little regretful, because according to Li Dewen's plan, his burden in the future would definitely be heavier, and maybe not as easy as it is now.
"Brother Chen, Du Bin and Miao Miao are engaged. When are they planning to get married? Also, will Du Bin stay in Beijing from now on?"
Xiami wanted to persuade Li Dewen, but gave up the idea because he knew that Li Dewen was in an excited state and it would be useless to persuade him. So Xiami asked about Du Bin's movements. After all, Du Bin was a good tool and Du Chen's biological brother. Wouldn't it be better to let him take over the company?
Du Chen immediately understood Xiami's little thoughts. He felt like laughing. Others were afraid to give up the power in their hands, but Li Dewen and Xiami were different. They just wanted to distance themselves from it as quickly as possible. Thinking about his own back-up plans, Du Chen couldn't help but feel that he was a little ridiculous.
However, Li Dewen and Xiami had such thoughts, which were completely influenced by Du Chen. After all, those who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black...
