Jiang Xiaoyan's greatest strength is her tolerance. She's not sharp-tongued and will never confront someone head-on. Whether you call her a nice person or an honest person, who wouldn't want to spend more time with someone like that?
Su Yourong is rich, but her inner world is as empty as an endless black hole. There is a saying that when you are hungry, you know that you are in pain because of hunger, but when you are full, the pain of hunger comes out of nowhere.
On the phone, Su Yourong talked about her life over the years, and then she burst into tears. Lu Feng could tell that she was genuinely crying. No one can be strong enough to bear everything, not even him. Even though he knew what the future held, he still needed to come back to Jiang Xiaoyan's side occasionally to cook and chat.
Life isn't just about money; it also needs warmth, human connection, and a sense of community.
Jiang Xiaoyan comforted her, while Lu Feng smoked outside the door. The New Year was over.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the board of directors approved the change of Lu Feng's position. After the board stamped the document, Lu Feng officially changed from CEO and executive president to honorary director, no longer holding any real power position, and no longer responsible for any projects.
After the company approved it internally, it was announced to the public by randomly publishing the announcement in two small newspapers. The original intention was to handle the matter quietly, but it still caused a huge uproar in the industry.
The first thing CEOs of major companies say when exchanging New Year's greetings is, "Did you know that Lu Feng has been sidelined by capital?"
Among the people at Jiafeng Electronics who are most familiar with the industry, Zhu Lidong is probably the one. Huang Hongsheng can't understand why Lu Feng was suddenly removed from his post, and he's afraid there might be some risks involved.
Despite their usual bitterness towards Jiafeng Electronics, many companies cooperate with Jiafeng, and some core components are much cheaper from Jiafeng than imported ones. If something really goes wrong, and foreign companies raise prices, the domestic electronics industry will suffer.
After thinking it over, Huang Hongsheng decided to call Zhu Lidong to sound him out. After the call was connected, Huang Hongsheng said with a smile, "Happy New Year, Mr. Zhu. Congratulations on your promotion."
"Mr. Huang?" Zhu Lidong was a little surprised to hear the voice on the other end of the phone. He then teased, "Your New Year's greetings are a bit late, it's already past the New Year."
"Good things come to those who wait, so I'm calling to wish you a Happy New Year. I've heard that your board of directors has been making quite a fuss lately. When is President Lu coming to work?" Huang Hongsheng asked indirectly.
Zhu Lidong laughed when he heard this and said, "I'm not too sure. Xiao Lu's affairs are not my responsibility."
"Xiao Lu? Oh, oh, oh!" Huang Hongsheng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is there some internal strife? Is he planning to cash out his shares and leave?"
"I really don't know."
"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just worried that your circuit board prices would go up. If you change bosses, who knows what kind of person they'll be? Lu Feng may be a bit of a jerk, but he's a really good person." Huang Hongsheng rarely praised Lu Feng like that.
"Really? Don't worry, the price of spare parts will definitely not increase. Market price fluctuations are normal. I have something to attend to, so I'll hang up now. Happy Chinese New Year, and may the Year of the Pig bring you great fortune!" Zhu Lidong said politely.
"OK!"
After hanging up the phone, Huang Hongsheng sat at home, looking at the relatives who came to pay their respects for the New Year, and smacked his lips and said, "Look at this, a company worth tens of billions, just handed over to someone else like that. These days, it's better to keep the company and the money in your own hands."
In Fusang, a group of companies held a meeting to further block related technology patents and to promote national legislation in this area. They argued that if Jiafeng Electronics did not make any substantial progress in integrated circuits, they would not be able to sustain such a large investment for more than a few years.
As for the struggle in overseas markets, Lu Feng will not confront these people head-on. With only a few small overseas markets, there is not much they can do. Moreover, Lu Feng will enter the European market next year, where the Schroder Group will be backing him. Neither side will gain any advantage.
Therefore, this year's focus is on containing and suppressing Jiafeng Electronics in terms of research and development.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, businesses gradually resumed operations, and the Huasha factory also began to reopen. Jiang Xiaoyan and Zhang Fengxia needed to go back, and Lu Feng also had to start a new job.
After nearly a month of vacation, Lu Feng felt as if he had regained his energy. He parked his car downstairs at the company headquarters and stepped through the gate. Along the way, many people saw Lu Feng and whispered among themselves about his resignation.
The nameplate on the chairman's office door had been changed to "CEO" just a few days ago, and now even that nameplate has been removed. Lu Feng arrived at the door and tried to push it open, but found the office door locked. He turned to the office next door and asked, "Why is my office door locked?"
The office manager came out and hurriedly said, "President Lu, the administration staff locked it up. Since you're no longer... you know... so according to procedure, this office is now vacant."
"Emptying out?" Lu Feng frowned slightly, sensing that something was wrong in the company, especially after the board of directors was established. The core executives seemed normal, but some of the lower-level managers felt that Lu Feng was not up to the task.
The group headquarters now has a thousand people, with many managers at all levels, including some seasoned veterans who look down on Lu Feng, the young founder. They don't have much contact with him on a daily basis, but when they do go down to visit, the staff just give him a perfunctory reception.
Now that I hear you're down on your luck, isn't this a good opportunity to kick you when you're down?
"What did I do?" Lu Feng asked the person in front of him. "What's your position?"
"I'm the deputy director of the president's office. My daily work involves coordinating the work between the presidents. You'll have to ask the administration about this. I'll go and inquire for you." As someone from the president's office, he naturally had a much better understanding of the information than the rumors spread by his subordinates, and he knew that Lu Feng still controlled the company.
