370 Wise self-preservation
Wei Nanzhi sneered: "Mr. Chu, I know what you want to say. However, how can you, the high-ranking CEOs, understand the sorrow of our small employees. If I don't choose to take sides as soon as possible, then I will be the first innocent sacrifice to be sacrificed in the power struggle. I don't want to be taken to the heavens, I want to live my life well, it's as simple as that. β
"Then why don't you choose Mr. Gu, who is more in line with your philosophy, but choose Qian Cheng?"
"Mr. Chu, I'm not a fresh college student who just got out of school, I've been in the workplace for so many years, if there's anything I've learned and remembered, it's that I always have to choose to stand on the side of a more powerful force. Because in reality, it is impossible to preserve oneself with ideas alone. Although Mr. Gu has a great idea, his strength is not enough to compete with that person, so I will choose to stand on Qian Cheng's side. This is all for self-preservation, not for Mr. Gu. I hope Mr. Chu can understand. β
"So you think that person is a more powerful force, and sooner or later he will kick Mr. Gu out of the FY company. β
"Yes. Wei Nanzhi said categorically.
Then she added: "At least before you came, Mr. Chu, it was like this." β
Chu Yunji hooked the corners of his mouth: "Then do you still think so?"
Wei Nanzhi sighed softly: "I don't know how you did it, Mr. Chu, but you are too powerful...... In less than half a month, the wind direction in the company has completely changed. The people who originally supported Qian Cheng fell to you one after another. So, I'm sure I'm no exception...... In fact, there is no need for this conversation to happen, you have already won over Qian Cheng's biggest backer, what reason do I have to continue to stand on Qian Cheng's side? I am not stupid. β
"You're not stupid, but you're cowardly, Wei Nanzhi. β
Chu Yun said in a deep voice: "Because you are afraid, you would rather become Xingjian's enemy than fight for him." He used to look up to you so much and gave you all his resources because he thought you were worth it. Yes, he is naΓ―ve and sometimes unrealistic, but that's where his strengths lie. It is because he is naΓ―ve that he is able to treat you so sincerely. Wei Nanzhi, if there is anyone in this company who is the least qualified to betray Xingjian, it is you. β
Wei Nanzhi's face was feverish when Chu Yunzhi said this, and he lowered his head in shame.
Chu Yunjian was right, Gu Xingjian was indeed very good to her, very good.
"If you were willing to let go of the fear in your heart and fight against Qian Cheng's forces with Xingjian, Xingjian would not have been defeated so quickly. The reason why he is desperate is not because he saw your betrayal. Wei Nanzhi, do you know what you have done? You threw a heart that was once so sincere to you into the bottom of the icy river. A large part of the reason for being simple and self-defeating is because of you. β
Wei Nanzhi swallowed his saliva with difficulty.
She couldn't think of any words to justify herself.
"Mr. Chu, I'm really sorry......"
"Sorry, don't say that to me. I just want to ask you: what do you plan to do in the future?"
Wei Nanzhi raised his head blankly: "What does Mr. Chu mean......?"
"Do you want to continue to be a person who can get by, and once something happens, he immediately chooses a strong force to stand in line, completely ignoring the old friendship, or is he a person who lets go of the fear in his heart and goes with Gu Xingjian, no matter what problems he encounters, he will go through with him?"
Wei Nanzhi was speechless.
Such a simple question, she should have been able to answer easily.
But she opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak for a long time.
She couldn't pat her chest with a high momentum and said that when she encountered problems in the future, she would definitely be able to move forward bravely.
She had long been accustomed to protecting herself.
But she now understands that the so-called self-preservation of wisdom can sometimes deeply hurt others.
Now that the situation is very good, Wei Nanzhi can show her loyalty on the spot without hesitation, anyway, when Gu Xingjian comes back, no one will be able to compete with Gu Xingjian, her loyalty, whether she shows it or not, does not have much practical significance.
But Wei Nanzhi is too cautious.
When Chu Yunji asked this, she couldn't help but worry: whether there were still some undercurrents in the company's power struggle that she didn't see, and whether Chu Yunji was hinting at the near future, she was going to fulfill her promise and throw herself into the battle.
Wei Nanzhi didn't dare to answer rashly.
"Mr. Chu...... Can you let me think about how to answer?" Wei Nanzhi said softly.
Chu Yunjian nodded: "Yes." You have two days to think about it. In two days, I'm going to hear your answer. But remember, your answers are about your future in this company. This is not an opportunistic question, and I can ask that, and I have a point. β
Chu Yunjian said this, Wei Nanzhi was even more sure in his heart that the company's power struggle had not completely calmed down, and it was estimated that before Gu Xingjian came back, Chu Yunzhi was planning to use her to do something.
Maybe it's to use her as a shield, maybe it's to use her to offend some people...... In short, Chu Yunzhi was forcing her to make a statement: she either sincerely stayed by Gu Xingjian's side, or left as soon as possible.
After all, she was the head of the design department, if she couldn't be with Gu Xingjian, Chu Yunjian would never tolerate her staying.
But if she agreed to stand on Gu Xingjian's side, then Chu Yunji would use her as a weapon, as for what kind of weapon would she lose in the process of killing the enemy...... Chu Yunji didn't say.
It depends on whether Wei Nanzhi dares to gamble.
Wei Nanzhi naturally couldn't answer immediately.
When her life is at stake, she must think carefully about it in order to make the best answer.
So after getting Chu Yunji's consent, Wei Nanzhi left his office full of concern.
ββ
After Wei Nanzhi left, Chu Yunzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He leaned back in his chair, pinched the sides of the bridge of his nose with two fingers, and gently rubbed it.
The designer department has finally reached the final stage.
By this time, the dust had basically settled.
What answer Wei Nanzhi would give him two days later, Chu Yunzhi probably knew it.
Wei Nanzhi is a person who is extremely fond of weighing the pros and cons, and in her eyes, anything can be weighed on the scales. And she will always pick the heavier side, which has nothing to do with feelings, no favors, only naked trade-offs.
So she will definitely choose Gu Xingjian in the end.
Because only by standing on Gu Xingjian's side can she have the possibility of winning.
