Ten minutes later, Zhai Jing came out of the meeting room. His expression was unclear, which disappointed the people who were secretly observing him.

In the meeting room, the assistant reminded Ren Rong,

“It’s about time for you to leave.” Ren Rong suddenly asked,

“Do you think I did something wrong?

Without waiting for his assistant to answer, Ren Rong shook his head again.

“Forget it, we have to come to this step eventually.”

Meanwhile, Zhai Jing, who was waiting outside for the elevator to descend, wasn’t as calm as he appeared on the surface.

In the conference room just now, Ren Rong said that he wanted him to go to Jing City to take over a company that he had just acquired. That company was currently not within Dahong’s business territory.

Zhai Jing carefully thought for a few seconds before shaking his head and refusing.

“I’m sorry, President Shen. I don’t want to.”

Facing his rejection, Ren Rong didn’t show any displeasure. Instead, he asked, “Why?”

The eighteen-year-old Zhai Jing still had the edge of a young man. He said,

“I don’t want to be a tool. After working hard, I’ll be kicked away.”

Regarding Lin Hui’s scheme and today’s meeting, he didn’t believe that Ren Rong wouldn’t know about it, but he didn’t stop him.

As such a big boss, Zhai Jing naturally knew that he wouldn’t do everything himself. He also knew that in the workplace competition, the winner was king and the loser was a bandit. Everything depended on ability.

But when Ren Rong chose to sit on the sidelines, it also showed that he didn’t object to certain matters, such as kicking away meritorious officials or killing a donkey after it was done grinding, and even approved of it.

Zhai Jing wasn’t too obsessed with the game, so he could accept the current outcome. There was even a part of the reason why he let it go. But at the same time, this also meant that he had lost his basic trust in Dahong, Ren Rong, and the rest.

After Ren Rong heard his words, he was stunned for a moment. After that, he laughed for a while and sighed before saying.

“Zhai Jing, when you sit in my position, I reckon that you will have many different views on many things.”

Zhai Jing thought to himself, what kind of insight could he have? It was nothing more than a matter of balancing the interests.

From a small company, Dahong Company had developed into such a big ship. Naturally, it was due to Ren Rong’s hard work and also the reason why he had delegated power to his subordinates who had fought together with him back then. That was why everyone had banded together and worked hard to advance.

Therefore, in just 20 years, Dahong had grown into a domestic internet giant. The people who had fought with him in the past had also become the people who shared the cake.

This was supposed to be a happy occasion. After all, everyone had worked so hard in the past just to reap the rewards now.

However, as time passed, these people had slowly become a burden to Dahong.

Firstly, the internal division was intense, and the factional struggles were serious. This led to serious constraints between the various platforms and departments. Not only did it slow down administrative efficiency, but it also prevented many projects from being launched.

The second was that the shareholders and higher-ups felt that they had worked hard and now only wanted to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. They had lost the will to improve. However, the Internet was an industry that was changing with each passing day. It needed companies to constantly inject new blood and constantly create new ideas.

However, not only were these old heroes unable to keep up with the energy and physical strength, but even their thoughts and horizons were gradually lagging behind the general trend of the entire industry. Not only did they become complacent, but they also tried their best to suppress the newcomers.

It was precisely because Zhai Jing understood this point that he rejected Ren Rong’s suggestion. His reason was simple. He didn’t want to be a tool.

For Ren Rong to be able to conquer such a large territory in such a short

period, it was sufficient to prove that he wasn’t a person who would be content with the status quo. Instead, he was a person who was very aggressive and strived to be the best.

In addition, he was only about 50 years old and was still in the prime of his life. Therefore, when he discovered the predicament that the group was facing, he had already begun to think about how to break out of the situation, and this situation needed a knife.

At this moment, Zhai Jing walked up to him. He had the ability and courage. He was a very suitable candidate.

Unfortunately, Zhai Jing was no longer a lone warrior.

If it was before he met Le Wan, when his mother was still struggling on the hospital bed, he might have become the knife.

However, things were different now. His mother had recovered from her illness and he had Le Wan as his weakness. In addition, his financial situation wasn’t tight now. He had more time to do what he wanted to do.

Hence, there was no need for him to go all out to be a knife in Ren Rong’s hands, and a knife that would eventually be discarded..
