I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 713: Obedience in Public, Opposition in Private
After finishing the conversation, the two of them stood up and left from here.
It turned out that President Huang was dawdling here for his meal, actually, his motive was to wait for Guo Hongyu.
Finally, he saw Guo Hongyu coming out from inside.
Since he is at the president level, he usually has his own private dining area, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter and exit freely.
After seeing him come out, President Huang hurriedly gulped down the last two bites of his meal and then rushed over there.
"Hey, President Guo, what a coincidence, have you just finished eating?"
He just pretended it was a chance meeting, but in fact, he had been waiting here for a long time.
"Hey, President Huang, why are you eating so late today?"
"Nothing much, there were some issues upstairs that held me up, so I came down a bit late, have you just come out?"
"Oh, I see, hey, by the way, Ye Chen came to the company for work today, have you seen him yet? Probably not, otherwise, let me take him up this afternoon to meet you."
"No need, no need, I just happened to meet him while I was eating, so I was actually sitting at the same table with him, and I probably got to know him a bit."
"Oh, really? That's quite a coincidence, how is he, do you think he's alright?"
"Yes, from the surface, he is young and capable, and he speaks logically and persuasively, I suppose overall, he should be quite competent."
"I guess so, after all, he was hired by grandpa, I don't know much about him, just took him to get familiar with my department today, other things, President Huang, please help me to keep an eye on him in the future."
"Don't worry, absolutely no problem. Oh, by the way, after he arrived today, he first brought up some reasons for changing the equipment, and you know, if we were to change the equipment throughout the entire building, it wouldn't be a small expense, I think, we should hold off on spending this money for now."
"What? Changing equipment? Why change it just after he arrived? And weren't these equipment just replaced last year? I heard they are among the most advanced currently."
"That's what I'm saying, it might just be his own idea, feeling that this equipment still doesn't meet his standards and requirements, but I think these things should be more than sufficient for us, so I said we'd discuss this matter later."
"That won't do, if we have to update all the equipment according to his philosophy, that would be a significant expense, and now, the company is just balancing expenditures, so we definitely need to be cautious about spending right now."
"Rest assured, I strictly scrutinize every penny, and I tell him to wait on places where money shouldn't be spent urgently or necessarily, but since he has already proposed it, I just agreed first, then we'll study it later."
"Okay, if you're in control, I'm quite relieved about that."
"You can't let everything be controlled by me, and besides, President Guo, now that you have fully taken over the company's operations, you also need to occasionally audit the spending mechanisms and expenses, only by reducing our budget, then can we see the real intentions."
"Yes, I know, don't worry, I will look into it carefully later, just, Uncle Huang, you have really worked hard during this time, I heard the company has had a very, very high volume of orders recently, it must have been overwhelming for you."
"Hehe, no worries, I've been accustomed to this for many years, so there is no problem at all, if necessary, I just won't sleep at night, I can catch up with all the work, there won't be any delay."
"Uncle Huang, you are getting older now, not like before, so you can't keep going like this, and if we continue to overload you, honestly, I really can't bear it in my heart, if grandpa asks, I can't explain it."
"It's okay, it's okay, I know my own situation best, if you really let me lie in bed and sleep, I might not even be able to sleep."
"That won't do, if we think about it in the long run, your idea and approach are absolutely inappropriate, why not consider finding a suitable assistant, maybe two or three, let them gradually take over some of your responsibilities, and then slowly reduce your workload."
"That, I've mentioned before, matters involving finances are best not handled by outsiders, otherwise they might greatly impact the company's interests, I've watched this company grow step by step, I really don't want to do that."
"Uncle Huang, you really don't need to handle everything personally, and now, the entire company is fully institutionalized in management, basically, there are no loopholes, how could they possibly create conflicts of interest from here? So, I advise you to let go a bit."
"Okay, I understand, since you, President Guo, have already spoken, then let me think about how to delegate these tasks, do you have any suitable candidates on your side?"
"There are two candidates, only, I'm not sure if you would be satisfied with them."
"As long as you recommend them, then there's absolutely no problem. Okay, I will think about how to finely divide the work, and then we can make other arrangements."
"Okay, I understand, Uncle Huang, please do take good care of your health during this time, okay? If you feel uncomfortable at all, you must tell me in time."
"Okay, I understand, well, I'm going upstairs now, President Guo, goodbye."
After finishing speaking, he just smiled and greeted Guo Hongyu, but as he turned around, his face immediately darkened.
He could see that Guo Hongyu had deliberately arranged this meeting and also, specifically wanted to weaken his authority.
It is known that previously when he had full control of financial power, how much money the company wanted to spend was completely up to him.
