Chapter 1019 - 782: The Company’s Brand-New Future
In his past career, he had seen too many who had their ideals shattered and turned to reality.
Many times, this situation happened right in front of him.
Even though Nan Zhubin’s moment of "ideal breaking" was unusually long, Boss Wang thought there wouldn’t be any surprises.
However, Boss Wang waited and waited, but Nan Zhubin’s expression never changed.
Even Mo Kai and Chonghui, who were showing rich expressions next to him, gradually calmed their stormy faces, becoming just like Nan Zhubin.
What... is happening?
Boss Wang blinked.
Before he could say anything, Nan Zhubin, who had remained silent throughout this long discourse, suddenly trembled as if electrocuted.
He didn’t wait for Boss Wang’s puzzlement.
Nan Zhubin suddenly spoke.
"Are you finished?"
"Is that all?"
Nan Zhubin said.
"Just... that?" Boss Wang responded in confusion.
What does this person mean?
Nan Zhubin sighed, feeling he had wasted a lot of time.
Boss Wang invited so many people today, which indeed surprised Nan Zhubin; surprised him enough to act cautiously, listening to Boss Wang for so long in case he had more tricks up his sleeve.
Only now, certain that Boss Wang had vented enough, did Nan Zhubin let his heart settle.
—Just this?
"Sigh."
Nan Zhubin sighed, looking at Boss Wang with a very disappointed expression.
"Then let me speak."
"First. You think the future of our EAP industry is in your hands, so you feel victory assured, right?"
Boss Wang opened his mouth, just about to respond.
Nan Zhubin skillfully blocked the opponent’s words, "But this project was originally just a sideline expansion for us; even if it’s gone in the future, it won’t be a big problem."
Boss Wang’s eyes widened and he was speechless.
"Second, you think I’m trying to bring down your company? You think my collecting evidence is to confront you?"
Boss Wang seemed not to have processed the recent information and didn’t respond immediately.
"Okay, I understand someone of your age and status might have a sense of the world being against you."
Nan Zhubin shook his head, suddenly took a big step forward, and put his hand on Boss Wang’s shoulder.
"On the contrary, I want your company to survive, President Wang."
This information was completely beyond Boss Wang’s ability to process.
For the first time since entering this small room, Nan Zhubin smiled.
"You thought that inviting the CSRC inspection team and EAP Association experts over was a surprise for me."
"In fact, before you told me all this, I had been troubled about how to help you keep your company afloat," Nan Zhubin sincerely said, "But now, I’m not worried."
"They are here to help you, but actually, they’re also helping me."
"I’ve changed my mind; I’m going to stay with the EAP Project Team, I want to help you," Nan Zhubin looked into Boss Wang’s eyes.
He lowered his voice, extremely sincere in once again emphasizing, "I want to help you."
"You... what nonsense are you talking about? What trick are you playing?" Boss Wang shook off Nan Zhubin’s hand like he was electrocuted, "How I run my business is none of your business!"
Nan Zhubin gently shook his head.
"Not up to me, but up to them." Nan Zhubin raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the meeting room.
Nan Zhubin smiled again, "In the eyes of the CSRC inspection team and EAP Association experts, you have already presented an image of valuing employees and operating in compliance. You..."
Nan Zhubin made a gesture of stacking a tower, "You have set their expectations for you so high."
"In front of these key figures from the CSRC inspection team and EAP Association, you have established a positive image of ’valuing employees and operating in compliance.’ Once your subsequent behaviors contradict this image, like continued illegal layoffs, forcing employees to work overtime, or issuing false certifications—"
Nan Zhubin blew on his hands that formed a high tower, which then collapsed as a result.
"Then, a sense of betrayal will arise."
"Their trust in you and your company will completely collapse, and they may even suspect that your previous non-violating actions were also deliberate camouflage."
Nan Zhubin suddenly showed a regretful expression.
"If nothing unexpected happens, your perfect image might have already shown a crack. Their suspicion towards you has already arisen."
"But no worries, as long as you explain well, use your power, fight for benefits, and involve a bit of relations, you might be able to salvage a little, allowing the company to survive."
"As for afterward, listing the company might no longer be a consideration," Nan Zhubin sincerely stated, "But I will help you. I will help you make amends for all this."
"I will help you become the good boss and entrepreneur in their eyes."
He enunciated every word forcefully.
"I want you to actually be that kind of boss thereafter;"
"A boss who cares about employees’ mental health and no longer exploits them;"
"A boss who values employment norms, with all operations legal and compliant... a good boss."
"After all, if you don’t do this, you might be facing even greater losses next."
Despite being sincere, Boss Wang inexplicably found Nan Zhubin terrifying at this moment.
Boss Wang’s expression became increasingly absurd, "What are you talking about?"
Could it be that the huge psychological disparity has driven this young man crazy?
Nan Zhubin shook his head, also surprised by how smoothly things went.
He originally thought about how to counter Boss Wang’s tricks but didn’t expect that Boss Wang essentially stabbed himself, putting himself in chains.
Nan Zhubin was about to say something more.
Knock, knock, knock—
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound from the small room they were in.
The door had already been locked. Before Boss Wang could react, Mo Kai and Chonghui exchanged a glance, stepping forward to open the door first.
The face of the man in a suit, who had been sitting in the center of the conference table, appeared in everyone’s sight.
"Ah, you were here... I’ve been looking for you everywhere."
The man in the suit looked at Boss Wang, "You have some things you need to say to me."
"...What things?" Boss Wang looked bewildered, "Brother Zhang... how come you’re here?"
"I just finished listening to your ’outstanding employee’s’ speech, very impressive." The man in the suit said expressionlessly, "Apart from me, everyone else is looking for you."
