At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

Until the very end of the meeting, Hu Shuo had not figured out why Gu Yu had suddenly entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility.

It wasn't just him; everyone else was also in the dark.

Hu Shuo was capable and had been with the company for a long time, but he had always been on the fringe of the management team. This time, he inexplicably became the core of the entire company.

This left everyone unable to comprehend why Gu Yu would make such a decision.

However, seeing Gu Yu's uncompromising expression, everyone wisely chose not to ask.

Since Gu Yu had decided this way, there must be his reasons.

Watching everyone leave the conference room, Gu Yu should have been happy with their reactions, but at that moment, he felt a bit troubled.

It was because everyone really trusted him, to the extent that they didn't even question any of his decisions.

He even felt that if he announced today that he was going to sell the company, everyone would still support him wholeheartedly!

This kind of behavior, although it could be seen as cohesion, could also be seen as the management losing their ability to think.

This wasn't the army, where only obedience was required.

There should be an atmosphere of active discussion. Everyone should question the decisions of their company leader, or at the very least, ask for the reasons!

But no one asked him, not even Hu Shuo, who simply silently agreed to his arrangements without even asking why he had made them.

"The situation of the company is somewhat worse than I thought,"

Gu Yu pondered for a while, then spoke in a low voice to himself.

Lin Xinyue, who had not left, heard his words and her expression also became somewhat grave; she was not the kind of foolish woman without brains.

On the contrary, her management skills were even slightly stronger than Gu Yu's from a professional perspective.

What Gu Yu could sense, she naturally could too.

"I also think that they might be relying on you a bit too much."

Lin Xinyue looked at the partially obscured conference room glass door and shared her concerns with Gu Yu.

Her words struck right at the heart of what Gu Yu was pondering.

"Xinyue, you've noticed it too?"

Gu Yu was not surprised that Xinyue could detect this issue. Although he phrased it as a question, he actually wanted to get an answer or a solution from Xinyue.

"Yeah, at first, this problem wasn't very severe, but as time passed, I've noticed that the problems with the management are getting worse,"

"Although everyone is taking their responsibilities seriously, they aren't truly engaging with the company's management matters,"

"Most of the time, it's only after you've issued orders that everyone starts to act! This is a very unhealthy management ecosystem. If the management lacks thinking capacity, it will inevitably collapse sooner or later,"

Lin Xinyue voiced her inner concerns straightforwardly.

Gu Yu was still managing the company well, and even if he left the company for a short period, it wouldn't be a big issue. But if one day, Gu Yu had to leave the company for an extended period for some reason,

and the sense of security that Gu Yu provided to the management team disappeared, the company's management system would quickly collapse.

This kind of situation had happened before in history,

but it was a country located in the northern part of Huaxia.

The departure of a leader, revered by all, even led to the disintegration of a country.

The current situation at Ideal Paradise somewhat resembled a miniature version of that country.

"You're absolutely right. Do you have any solutions?"

"Did you notice what I meant by appointing Hu Shuo to act on my behalf today?"

Being understood by someone close to him made Gu Yu pretty happy.

This kind of tacit understanding was truly rare.

"Of course, I understand what you mean, you want to dilute your own power a bit, and through this opportunity, reduce your own voice in the company."

Lin Xinyue's beautiful eyebrows gently raised, as if guessing Gu Yu's thoughts was effortless for her.

Gu Yu's face exhibited both a smile and a hint of bitterness.

He smiled because Xinyue had once again guessed his thoughts, but the bitterness stemmed from the fact that his decision was made out of necessity.

After all, which corporate leader would willingly want to dilute their own power, to diminish their voice?

Only a fool would do such a thing, right?

It is often about centralizing power, not relinquishing it, and too much delegation can lead to being replaced.

Although he knew it was somewhat inappropriate to act as he did, he had no other choice.

The choice to appoint Hu Shuo was made after much consideration.

In terms of seniority, Hu Shuo had entered the company around the same time as Kang Jia and could be considered a veteran.

In terms of loyalty to the company, there essentially weren't any issues.

After all, despite being neglected for so long, Hu Shuo had not left the company.

Moreover, Hu Shuo's managerial abilities were not lacking; he had been a product manager at Sword Barrier Network and had even organized his colleagues to protest against Bi Jian.

It could be said that he also possessed leadership skills.

Furthermore, he didn't have any major work assignments at the company currently, nor did he have any direct followers.

This meant he couldn't form factions to control the center of power within the company.

Given all these factors, Hu Shuo had the capability and time, and posed the least threat to him, making him the most suitable candidate.

It's not that the eldest, second, and third brother were inadequate, but their influence was nearly the same as his.

If any of those three were to take over the overall management of the company, it was very likely history would repeat itself.

And create another "autocracy."

That was certainly not a result he wished to see.

As for Yu Xiaochuan and Cai Hui, although their abilities were commendable, Gu Yu had not observed any notable managerial talent, plus their experience was lacking.

Even if they were forcibly placed in the position, it would cause dissatisfaction among many.

Thus, Hu Shuo entered his line of sight.

And without Hu Shuo's knowledge, he forcefully placed this responsibility upon him.

This too was a measure borne out of necessity.

"I don't really have a better solution. If Ya were here, actually handing it over to Ya would be the best."

Seeing Gu Yu seeking her opinion, Lin Xinyue shook her head.

She thought of her best friend Hu Xiaoya, but Ya couldn't come out of her house, and was therefore completely unreliable.

Otherwise, Hu Xiaoya would obviously be the most suitable choice.

"Well, let's go with that then, after all, we're only going away for a month or two, there shouldn't be any problems."

Gu Yu optimistically said.

As long as Ideal Paradise maintains its status quo and doesn't face any external interference, it's essentially impossible for anything to go wrong.

It would take one to two months to perfect the tasks he had arranged for everyone.

"Perhaps my concerns are unnecessary."

Gu Yu looked at a painting hanging on the wall of the conference room, filled with dense code, which was a gift from a technical manager from Shengda Game who had come over for technical support.
