He took it and looked carefully, then praised Hu Jiasheng profusely.
It was like kindred spirits meeting, like Boya meeting a confidant, a feeling of mutual appreciation.
"You finally remembered to use him. I always felt it was a waste for him to stay at the real estate company. I wanted to suggest he go to the electrical company, but I was afraid you'd be unhappy, so I held back."
"To be honest, Deputy General Manager Gao is diligent and hardworking, but his innovative spirit just can't keep up anymore."
"If he leads the electrical company, the company's development pace is bound to be limited."
"But Hu Jiasheng is different..."
Zhan Beijue felt quite uncomfortable.
Yesterday, Ah Zhong praised him to the skies, and today Jiang Nanfang was also showering him with compliments.
It turned out that in their hearts, Hu Jiasheng had always been this outstanding, and they had just held back out of consideration for Zhan Beijue's pride.
Zhan Beijue felt a sense of betrayal, his heart aching.
Jiang Nanfang had said a lot. Seeing that he wasn't responding and his expression was not good, she quickly got out of bed to appease him.
"Don't you like watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Speaking of the heroes in the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, which one of them isn't stronger than Liu Bei when singled out? Yet everyone supported him as their lord and was willing to be subordinate to him. Why is that?"
If it weren't for her pregnancy, Zhan Beijue would have liked to disown her.
To treat him, Zhan, like Liu Bei, and Hu Jiasheng like Guan Yu or Zhao Yun, hmph! You really are my wife!
"Why?" he asked, suppressing his anger.
Jiang Nanfang spoke in gasps.
"Because Liu Bei knew how to recognize and employ talent, strategize, and command the overall situation."
"No matter how capable Hu Jiasheng is, if he lacks the talent to be a leader, and doesn't have the right time and place, he can only support you as his lord for a lifetime and dedicate himself to you, remaining subordinate to you. What else are you angry about?"
"Do you want your subordinates to be a bunch of incompetent fools who can't even stand on their own, and for people to only know Zhan Beijue when they mention the Zhan Corporation?"
Jiang Nanfang said he knew how to recognize and employ talent and command the overall situation, and was born to be a lord.
Zhan Beijue was no longer angry.
He was just still bothered by her openly praising another man.
"Answer me a question."
Jiang Nanfang clasped her hands: "My lord, please speak."
"If you had met Hu Jiasheng before me..."
"No, absolutely not!"
Before he could finish his question, Jiang Nanfang eagerly declared her loyalty.
Zhan Beijue looked at her as if to say, "How can you be so sure?"
She explained, "Because you are not only talented, but also handsome. A man like you, who possesses both talent and beauty, is one of a kind in this world."
"If it weren't for you, I, Jiang Nanfang, would remain single for life and never fall for anyone else. Therefore, I thank you for appearing."
Zhan Beijue was satisfied.
He proudly kissed her forehead, gave her some instructions, and then took his laptop to work.
Jiang Nanfang watched the retreating figure of this poor man, whose temperament had drastically changed due to pregnancy hormones, and couldn't help but complain in their group chat.
"My little darling just acted spoiled with me again and asked me a fatal question, almost killing me."
"Sisters, being a husband is really difficult. Please be merciful in the future and don't cause too much trouble."
Zhan Beijue didn't allow Zhou Jinbei and Chen Jiaojiao to visit Jiang Nanfang, so the three of them chatted in the group every day.
All of his embarrassing behavior was exposed to the other two by Jiang Nanfang.
Zhou Jinbei enjoyed the gossip in the group every day.
"I really want to see what my second brother is like now."
"Ah Zhong told me yesterday when he came back. He praised Hu Jiasheng a few words in front of him, and his expression was so awful, hahaha!"
"And now he's eating the pregnant women's meals my father-in-law makes for me every day. I'm so afraid he'll turn from a proud figure into a delicate rose."
"This child is tormenting his father so much. Sister-in-law, are you worried he'll be a little devil when he's born?"
Jiang Nanfang was indeed worried.
After just over a month, her domineering CEO husband was turning into a little wife. If he was like this for another six months...
"Please quickly ask your father-in-law how to make this symptom disappear."
"I'm trembling with fear trying to appease him every day. It's too difficult."

The project Zhan Beijue assigned to Hu Jiasheng this time was related to new energy vehicles, specifically the installation of charging stations.
New energy vehicles were a globally popular industry in recent years, and their future development was bound to be prosperous.
However, it had only just begun in China, and the普及 of charging stations was not yet sufficient.
This was the first project related to this area that Grei Electric had undertaken.
The work content seemed simple, just installing charging stations at designated locations.
But the workload involved behind the scenes, as well as coordination with local government departments, was quite complex.
Fortunately, new energy had been around abroad for some time, and Hu Jiasheng had coincidentally encountered such projects before.
After a brief meeting and discussion with everyone at the electrical company, he decided to personally lead the team and undertake the installation himself.
In the workplace, the greatest motivation was nothing more than promotion and salary increases.
With the former superior retiring, the subordinates thought they had a chance for promotion.
Who knew that they would recruit someone from outside.
When Hu Jiasheng first arrived, first, he had no emotional connection with everyone.
Second, he was unfamiliar with past history.
Therefore, everyone disliked him, and they did not cooperate well with him at work.
During meetings, he was almost the only one speaking, and not a single one of the old hands in the technical department was willing to engage with him.
When he specifically requested people to go on business trips, they all used excuses like summer arriving, the weather being too hot to go, or having various family situations, and were unwilling to go.
Hu Jiasheng used the bait of applying for high-temperature subsidies and 1.5 times the travel expenses to forcibly select three engineers, thus organizing the team.
On the third day, the four of them set off together, starting from Suzhou, the production base of new energy vehicles, and traveling along the route.
Suzhou city had over 200 charging points distributed throughout the urban area.
All matters required Hu Jiasheng to personally handle communication, supervision, procurement, installation, debugging, testing...
After working on one point, he was practically doing all the work himself.
The others were completely like errand runners, playing no significant role.
Earning such high salaries, four engineers, eight days to complete one point.
At this rate, just working through Suzhou city alone would take them a year.
If they were to popularize it nationwide, it would take more than half a lifetime. What could they even do?
Although he usually presented himself with a gentle and amiable demeanor, it did not mean that Hu Jiasheng truly had no temper.
After the first point was completed, he invited everyone to dinner. After two drinks, he couldn't help but lose his temper.
And he issued a military order.
All the points in Suzhou must be completed within a month.
From now on, the four of them would each be responsible for one district: east, west, south, and north.
Within a month, whoever failed to complete it or whose quality was not up to par would be fired.
Although they were unconvinced in their hearts, they did not want to lose their jobs because of this.
