Chapter 108 Child Psychology
Holland was, after all, a pampered young lady, and even after entering the business world, her thinking was still different from Xie Junfei's.
She and Huo Shen were alike in some ways; their powerful families gave them the confidence to have the final say.
Xie Junfei, on the other hand, prefers to operate in a roundabout way within the scope permitted by law.
After hearing Xie Junfei's explanation in the meeting room, Huo Lan thought she would directly use the recording to threaten the executive and force him to resign.
But Xie Junfei didn't think so.
When the executive came to the old house to plead for him, Xie Junfei had already instructed his public relations team to tell the story of the bet in the name of "Tia's internal employee". He also made a special statement that the executive was a "straightforward" and "daring" artist. Now that the executive had made a bet in advance, he would leave willingly and accept defeat according to his usual habits.
Meanwhile, another group of people were making sarcastic remarks about Tia's current boss, Xie Junfei, in the comments section.
[I'm not saying this to be mean, but Tia's current boss is probably out of his mind. He's a high-level executive who's been with the company for so long, how could you, the newcomer, possibly know more than him?!]
[I support this executive starting his own business. Tia isn't the same Tia anymore; even if he stayed, the boss would make things difficult for him.]
[I feel sorry for this "talent scout." It's so tough being a wage earner; they make so much money for their boss, but one failure and they're discarded.]
The comments below are all expressing sympathy for working people and support for this executive who is starting his own business with artists.
Amid such public opinion, the hashtag "Tia's boss is an idiot" quickly became a trending topic within half an hour.
Having handled the Qin family's assets before, Mrs. Huo naturally knew who Tia's boss was, and immediately sent a message to Xie Junfei:
[Mommy Huo: Baby, I saw Tia trending on social media. Do you need Mommy's help?]
Xie Junfei was walking hand-in-hand with Huo Lan to the main house when she saw the message and immediately replied:
[Xie Junfei: Mom, don't worry, I'm fine.]
[Xie Junfei: I bought that trending topic myself, so you don't need to worry about me.]
Knowing that her daughter-in-law was decisive, Mrs. Huo understood the situation after hearing the news. She then gave her a few more words of advice and then went to play mahjong with Xie's godsons.
Xie Junfei's idea was very simple.
She wanted to persuade the executive to voluntarily leave with the artists she had nurtured at Tia and start their own business.
In this way, he can get rid of himself and take all his cronies and influence with him. With the management positions in Tia vacant, he can not only purge the management without firing a shot, but also make it easier for Xie Junfei to place his confidants.
On the other hand, those troublesome artists who were cultivated by this executive and who ganged up to bully newcomers also left, no longer needing to occupy Tia's resources, making it easier for Xie Junfei to cultivate more outstanding new artists.
Finally, if those in leadership choose to start their own business, they will certainly not forget their old profession—
"Star-Making Project".
At that time, the new gallery will have nothing to do with Xie Junfei, and her second brother and Uncle Zhu won't have to worry about accidentally hurting Xie Junfei when they make their move.
When he falls from grace, those connections he has will inevitably turn to his former employer, Tia, once they see he has no further use.
At that time, Xie Junfei will be able to effortlessly benefit from his network of connections.
As for the wealth he amassed in Tia over the years, to exaggerate, it's not even as much as the auction price of Huo Shen's toilet-shaped He Zun. It's gone, it's gone, it's nothing.
What Xie Junfei really wanted was Tia's connections and influence, as well as her status in the art world.
This executive is cunning; he doesn't just rely on public opinion, he also needs some "industry authorities" to fan the flames, otherwise it's not easy to be fooled.
And Xie Junfei had naturally arranged for the person who "stirred up the fire".
Xie Junfei turned off her phone, carefully reviewed the plan, and after confirming that everything was in order, she and Huo Lan stepped into the main house with peace of mind.
Huo Shen was waiting in the main house early on. When he saw Xie Junfei arrive, the expression on his face visibly improved.
The younger members of the second branch of the family all got along very well, and seeing their eldest brother like this, they all teased him:
"The head of the family is truly in love. He misses us 'as if it were three years' after just a few minutes apart. He was even distracted while we were chatting just now."
"But it's also because the young mistress is so charming that she has our patriarch completely under her thumb!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Junfei smiled and looked at Huo Shen, who was sitting in the main seat.
I originally thought that Huo Shen would at least have some face in front of the younger generation, and would definitely be embarrassed and annoyed by being teased like this.
Who knew that this shameless guy would pull her into his arms in front of everyone and, amidst the cheers of the younger generation, openly kiss her.
Xie Junfei's face immediately turned pink, and she punched Huo Shen in the chest with a light but firm punch.
The second master of the house laughed heartily as he watched the younger generation laughing and joking.
Great, great, this is true family bliss.
He used to scheme and plot against the fourth branch of the family, which really shortened his lifespan.
Unlike the harmonious relationship between the first and second wives.
Knowing they couldn't fit into the circle, the fifth and sixth wives directly claimed they were unwell and refused to attend.
The two families exchanged a few words, then each packed their things, preparing to meet again at lunchtime.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to return to their room with Huo Shen, Xie Junfei took off her business-style shirt, which she wore when meeting guests, and asked Huo Shen:
"Didn't you say that Huo Lan was the only person of your generation in the second wife's family? How come so many of them have come back now?"
Seeing her confusion, Huo Shen stepped forward and explained as he helped her unbutton her shirt:
"The Second Madam's family is in Europe, and the Second Master stayed there during his early years of studying abroad. Over time, they settled there."
"The Huo family's businesses in Europe are also managed by the Second Master and his eldest son."
"As for Holland, Venus's headquarters are in the country, so she has to stay. Besides, the Second Master is getting old and is living in the old house, so she has to visit him from time to time."
Upon hearing this, Xie Junfei nodded thoughtfully, then immediately remembered something and turned to ask Huo Shen:
"Do you have any resources related to my fourth brother's research area? He's about to graduate and is thinking of pursuing a PhD abroad."
Huo Shen thought about it carefully for a moment, and then immediately realized something:
“I remember that Holland’s second brother and your fourth brother were colleagues. They had a very professional laboratory in Germany, and their mentor was also a big name in the industry.”
“If needed, I’ll have someone write a letter of recommendation for your fourth brother, and have him meet with that professor with the letter of recommendation.”
Hearing this, Xie Junfei nodded, picked up the clothes on the sofa, and said as she put them on:
“You know how capable Fourth Brother is. He told me the last time we met that the experimental environment in China is not top-notch enough, and his master’s supervisor recommended that he go abroad to pursue a doctorate.”
"I feel relieved that you gave him a push."
Huo Shen helped her put on the cloak and pinched the fluffy ball of fur attached to her chest:
"That's right, don't you even know who your man is?"
After finishing their business, the man started to joke around. Xie Junfei, having gotten the better deal, reluctantly played along and kissed him on the cheek.
"Yes, yes, my man is really amazing."
As it turns out, child psychology applies to even the most capable men. Huo Shen was coaxed by his little girl's "perfunctory" attitude, and his mood visibly improved.
