Chapter 384 — An Unexpected Call
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
At Guan Xuewen's home, Wei Zhao gave Kang Xiaofeng a rough outline of the matter concerning the pharmaceutical company. But Kang Xiaofeng, excited as he was, was also worried—after all, he had not the slightest experience in business management. He did not want to let this fine opportunity slip, yet neither was he a fool, and he knew what came of muddling along blindly. "Boss, I don't know the first thing about running or managing a business. You've got to give me time to learn..."
Once his excitement had passed, Kang Xiaofeng calmed down again. He was a man of easy enthusiasm, but once the enthusiasm passed, he could consider matters coolly.
In the rooftop brawl and the matter of Xiaofen, Kang Xiaofeng had shown an impulsive temperament beforehand, yet afterward he could settle his mind and weigh the gains and losses.
Kang Xiaofeng's words put Wei Zhao in a bit of a bind. Guan Xuewen was a scholar and naturally had no experience running a business, and Wei Zhao himself needn't even be mentioned—send him to assassinate someone and he was fine, but managing a company was out of the question.
What Kang Xiaofeng said now was not without reason; he truly had no relevant experience!
Only at this moment did Wei Zhao realize that some things he had taken too simply—it was not as though having a prescription in hand meant one could open a company! Yet he did not want to let just anyone he did not trust take part in running the company at will.
First of all, Wei Zhao was a secret existence; he did not wish to expose himself to the public and let everyone know the prescription had come from his hand! After all, Wei Zhao was still in the middle of carrying out a mission, and it was not the time to be distracted by other matters.
"Xiao Yi, my thinking is this: we find a trusted professional manager, and on my end, I'll mainly serve as an honorary vice president, or hold the title of director of the R&D department—just enough to cooperate with publicity and promotion!" Guan Xuewen suggested. "As for the company's affairs, Xiaobo and Xinxin can serve as directors of the company, involved only in decision-making, not in operations!"
"That's a good idea too. The key is finding a trustworthy manager." Wei Zhao nodded. "But such a person won't be easy to find."
"There's no rushing this!" Guan Xuewen shook his head. "I'll ask around some more."
And so the matter was shelved for the time being. Wei Zhao drove Kang Xiaofeng out of Guan Xuewen's villa. He had intended to take him straight home, but Kang Xiaofeng said he wanted to go to a bookstore to buy a few books on business management!
Though it smacked a little of cramming at the last minute, Wei Zhao was rather gratified that Kang Xiaofeng had the mind for it. What he feared most was a lack of ambition; so long as he was willing to work hard, that was enough.
Wei Zhao dropped Kang Xiaofeng at the bookstore without going up with him, and drove straight back to Gu Mengyao's villa. He had been gone two days now—he wondered whether the young lady would bear a grudge. Though he had told her beforehand that he was accompanying Kang Xiaofeng to his second granduncle's birthday banquet, and Gu Mengyao had said nothing about it, who knew whether that little minx Shen Yushu had been stirring up trouble?
Just as he neared home, Wei Zhao's phone rang. He had assumed it was Kang Xiaofeng or Tang Zhi calling, but when he saw the caller ID on the screen, he could not help but freeze!
Because the person calling was none other than Wang Xinyan!
