He just hadn't found a suitable position for himself, and moreover, he didn't have a clear idea of what he could actually do.
"Actually, I've already discussed this matter with Old Master Li, and he respects my opinion, seeing what I am capable of doing and undertaking tasks within my ability. It's also because of this that I won't attract the attention of others."
"Yeah, now that you put it that way, shouldn't you be reconsidering your plans? Besides, you want to follow this clue and investigate further, which is fine, but you need to find an identity to temporarily settle into first, right?"
"Alright, then wait until tomorrow, after dawn, and I'll take a good look at the general development of this city to see what suits me best."
"There's no need for you to look further, our company already has the perfect place for you. Why not just go work at the company?"
"Are you saying that I should go to the company?"
"Yes, I have already informed Li Fu about this. The reason why you're here is to assist Zhenyu. Also, to remove the gaps in the company and all the stumbling blocks so that the company can develop stably. Only then can I retire from my position with peace of mind."
"But I have never done such a thing before, Old Master. Isn't it inappropriate for you to assign this task to me?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. I've thought it over and over, and I believe that no one other than you is suited for this job."
"If we are to find these people's vulnerabilities, just me alone may not be enough. I think Anying is better than me in this area, and Uncle Ada is involved in this kind of work, too, isn't he?"
"I'm telling you, it's because Ada does this kind of work that everyone in the company is very aware of him, so it's not convenient for him to show his face. If he does, won't that attract the attention of these people?"
"Hmm, but if that's the case, it does make sense. Uncle Ada's identity is quite sensitive, and it really isn't convenient for him to appear at this time."
"So, I think you are the most appropriate candidate. If you think Anying is also suitable, then we can also insert Anying into the company. With one on the left and one on the right, you both can take care of your own affairs inside."
"Yet I feel that this will take time, including integrating into the company and getting familiar with the various aspects of its environment. Don't all of these require careful preparation?"
"That's not a problem, we still have plenty of time. There is about half a year left until the company's chairman is decided, so we must accomplish these things within the next six months. Otherwise, I may not be able to keep control in my hands in the end."
When Guo Tao said these words, truthfully, Ye Chen found it somewhat difficult to accept.
He had always thought that Guo Tao was both capable and powerful.
But he had never considered that Guo Tao could encounter problems.
So, was everything he had seen before all just a facade?
Ye Chen carefully pondered and realized that might not be the case. Strength is just that – strength is evident and cannot be faked.
Thus, Ye Chen seemed to have realized that there must be a "tiger" in the company with capabilities far beyond those of Guo Tao.
Otherwise, Guo Tao wouldn't have gone to such lengths to bring him back to assist, and then to clear the obstacles in the path.
"Is it hard to believe that there are people in the company I cannot deal with? Let me tell you, just as with running a company, I am not autocratic and can't make all decisions alone. I have been in control of the company for nearly 30 years, which was not easy, but the power behind the scenes is growing, so I have no choice but to step aside."
"You mean there are people aiming for your position, whose strength greatly surpasses yours?"
"Exactly, that's the case."
"I want to know their information and some specific details of their background."
"I can't give you that now. I tell you if I give it to you, then you won't be able to touch base with that person. What I'm thinking is that you go to the company, gradually contact these people, and even if you don't, I believe it won't take long for them to emerge. Gradually, you'll find out who you are dealing with."
After saying this, he didn't speak but just nodded gently, seeming somewhat perplexed by everything.
However, since the Old Master had specially arranged this, there wasn't much he could say. Even if it meant putting all his affairs in order, he still had to continue pursuing the clues.
"Alright, I understand. I'll arrange this as soon as possible. By the way, when would it be convenient for me to start work? What will my position at the company be after I get there?"
"At that time, a dedicated person will arrange it for you. If it's convenient, you can report to the company tomorrow."
"I don't think I'll be able to go tomorrow. I have some other things to arrange. The earliest I can go is the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, no problem. You can go whenever you decide. Just notify Zhenyu, and he will have someone in the company ready to meet you."
"Got it, I understand."
"Additionally, I want to remind you of one more thing. I know that after coming here, you intended to tackle the tasks handed to you by Sixth Master. But whether these people have come to this city, or whether they have followed, all of this is unknown. Therefore, you need not only people but also significant financial resources. Take this card for now."
