I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 767: Life of Intrigue and Manipulation

"Grandfather, of course I've thought about this matter, but I think when it comes to whether Brother Ye Chen leaves the company, this is really nothing significant. What difference does it make whether I am the chairman or not? If I can keep Brother Ye Chen here, then, I would consider it a success."

"You foolish child, I know that you rely heavily on Brother Ye Chen for everything and trust him greatly. But if you leave the company, what meaning would Ye Chen's presence in the company hold then?"

This remark by Guo Tao truly woke Guo Hongyu up; initially, he hadn't considered this point at all.

He just thought that keeping Ye Chen would mark his complete victory, and Guo Hongyu really hadn't thought much about anything else.

"Grandfather, I indeed hadn't thought that much at the time, but that's all in the past now. I think we can set it aside for the moment. Don't worry, next time I will definitely consult you in advance."

"Alright, just leave other matters aside. Continue to do your regular work well in the office, and also pay close attention to the moves of those vice-chairmen, to see what their main intentions or actions are after being influenced by some people, especially each individual."

"Grandfather, are you trying to find out what these people are really thinking through this?"

"It's too early to say now, so I think we just have to proceed tentatively."

"Okay, Grandfather, I understand. I will go handle this matter right now. If there's anything you need, just let me know."

"Alright, I understand. Remember to keep a low profile in the company. Hardly confronting others brings you no good. Do you understand?"

In fact, the words Guo Tao said to Guo Hongyu are indeed very beneficial.

But young Guo Hongyu can't quite grasp all of this yet.

He just thinks that the entire group's market offline should belong solely to the Guo Family's industry, and they can dominate here alone.

Wanting to do something, shouldn't he be the one calling the shots? But why does it feel so cautious to act here, as if he had no connection to all these properties?

In fact, Guo Hongyu had had this thought more than once before, feeling that their position in the company was entirely different from what he imagined.

He remembered that when he was very young, his grandfather had already been the chairman of the board, and that time was completely different, and nobody dared to contend what his grandfather said.

Yet now, as the company grew and expanded, more and more changes have indeed started to happen.

In fact, Guo Hongyu knows that the situation is gradually changing, and their position in the company can be said to be precarious.

After all, from solely owned assets, it has developed into a joint-stock limited company, now also a listed company.

If you want to do something, it's not just the chairman who has a say, even the chairman has to obey others.

Sometimes when he thinks about it, Guo Hongyu really feels that being this chairman is quite disheartening.

But Guo Hongyu's thoughts had not been expressed timely; he only knew that being young, gaining experience here was of utmost importance.

No choice, after all, Guo Hongyu is the only heir of the Guo Family, and if he really wants to take over the family's mantle, then he must personally experience all these matters.

"Okay, Grandfather, I understand. I will work diligently here, and also handle some of the regular business of the company well. Rest aside, I won't handle any other matters."

"That's good, Hongyu, and during this period, you have started to get a handle on the company's business. I have inquired with several veterans in the company and they say you understand it quite well, so Grandfather is not worried about your capability in handling the business. It's just the internal strife that you're still not quite accustomed to."

"Forbidden schemes, I haven't lived in such an environment since I was a child, so I am quite unfamiliar with this term."

"That's why I arranged Ye Chen in the company, to help you cope with these schemes and to clear out all the obstacles for you. After that, you can advance smoothly within the company, sailing straight to the top without any more threats, understand?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Okay, Grandfather, I understand."

"That's it then. I have to take care of some other matters now, just do your own work in the company, and don't bother about anything else for now."

After finishing the conversation, Guo Tao hung up the phone. Guo Hongyu held the phone, sighing deeply.

Originally, he had thought to plan for the long term regarding Ye Chen's matters and also to quickly get Ye Chen out.

But now, it seemed that Guo Tao had completely taken over the issue.

This reassured Guo Hongyu somewhat, as when it comes to personal connections and status, there is still a big gap between him and Guo Tao.

Now that Guo Tao is involved, a lot of things should be smoothly resolved and well confronted.

Ye Chen was brought directly to the interrogation room, and in that moment, he just looked back once at this small room, which indeed felt ice-cold.

When had he ever suffered such humiliation? But was there no choice but to make a big issue this time? Moreover, those people came fully prepared.

On the way here, in Ye Chen's mind, thoughts constantly flashed as to who was targeting him, and what the real intentions of the person behind the scenes might be.

These were matters Ye Chen had to figure out, and now he even began to suspect that he had touched the interests of some people.
