Let's talk about Donald. When he first took office, he wanted to nationalize the Innova Group. Now, he had brought along an enigmatic person. Who knew what his intentions were?Regardless, anyone who wanted to join the Innova Group had to follow the proper procedures. But who was Jack?He was a strategist! A mastermind capable of devising plans from a distance and ensuring victory from afar. Did such a person need an interview?Jack felt that an interview would be beneath him.He said, "Ms. Williams, Mr. Johnson, I did not come alone this time. Many of my seniors and juniors, as well as our mentors, have all emerged to save the world from turmoil. We must rise to the occasion!"The Innova Group, as a large corporation, should shoulder more social responsibilities!""Oh?" Eric's curiosity was piqued. "So many people have come out? Were you all living in seclusion in the mountains before? And who are these mentors of yours?"Jack smiled. "We call ourselves 'strategists', and our
'Are you pulling my leg? The selection process for talent has a complete set of procedures and mechanisms. Even a large company like the Innova Group needs to follow the managerial interview processes. Do you think I would want someone that the Innova Group doesn't even want?' Donald cursed inwardly.Donald was quite clear-headed. He looked at Jack with skepticism. "Do you think you can turn Salt City into the number one city in the country?"Jack stared directly at Donald, brimming with confidence in his abilities.Donald awkwardly smiled and said, "Let's discuss this in a few days. I'll first fire that secretary and make room for you."Jack was overjoyed. "Rest assured, Mr. Ford. I will make you shine brightly!"Donald didn't take Jack's words to heart. His team was already quite capable, and he believed the development of a city depended more on its inherent potential.In Donald's view, Salt City had almost reached its peak unless a revolutionary industry decided to settle the
Upon returning home, Sylvia made a point of checking the gold stored in their safe. She had accumulated a considerable amount, ensuring that even if the global economy were to collapse, she and Eric wouldn't have to worry about money.Despite their preparations, both continued to work as usual. The development of the vaccine attracted widespread attention, and neither Eric, Sylvia, nor Andy had to concern themselves with it.-After a few days of not seeing Lora, she appeared again. She balanced her work with visiting Eric."Not busy lately?" she remarked.There was a hint of reproach in her tone. Those unaware of the situation might think there was something more between her and Eric.Eric shrugged. "I'm human, not a machine. After being busy, I need to rest. Is something up?"Lora smiled. "Why? Can't I visit you without a reason? After all, I've been devoted to you. Can't I come to see you?"Eric had nothing to say. Emotions didn't shift at will, but familiarity could breed f
"Good! Wonderful! Brilliant!" Eric applauded with admiration. "As they say, 'He who wins the people's hearts, wins the world'. If we win the people's hearts, why would we worry about not conquering the world?"Jack's face lit up with joy. It seemed his persistence had finally paid off. Otherwise, how could Eric praise him so highly?Overjoyed, he asked, "Mr. Johnson, do you agree with my view? When can I join to assist you?""No rush," Eric replied. "I can see you have a heart for the world, but you also understand the situation well. Although our Innova Group is strong, the power of a single company is always limited."In fact, besides our Innova Group, there's another powerful company in Salt City—Frontier Tech. If you can unite this high-tech company with our Innova Group to achieve great things, won't that be a grand success?"Jack understood Eric's implication. "Mr. Johnson, you're right. One tree branch breaks easily, but two, three, or even 10 or 20, are hard to break!"Fr
Several men lunged at Jack. In the next instant, Jack raised his hand and repelled them effortlessly. "Mr. Ford, I'm trying to help you out of goodwill, and you act like a dog biting the hand that feeds it?"Themos stood there, dumbfounded.'Good grief! Who is this guy, and why won't he leave me alone? What have I done to deserve this?'Thankfully, Jack wasn't completely unreasonable. "Since you don't appreciate my help, there's no point in me staying. Goodbye!"With that, Jack walked out.Themos finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Jack had continued to bother him, he wouldn't have known what to do.Call the police? Even if they came, could they handle this guy?"What a weirdo!" Themos muttered.-Downstairs, Jack glanced back at the Frontier Tech building and snorted. "A CEO of a billion-dollar company, so crude and unreasonable! Mr. Johnson is much more civilized. No wonder he built a three-figure billion-dollar company while you're stuck with a few billion."The differ
Jack, the troublemaker, had finally been dealt with. If he harbored any ill will toward the Innova Group, Eric wouldn't have tolerated him. But the guy was just a fool, weaving grand dreams of creating a perfect world. Who could achieve such a thing?Wherever there were people, there were complications. The world wasn't just about fights and struggles. It was about human relationships and myriad personal interests, desires, and benefits. The nature of the human heart ensured that perfect dreams and perfect worlds exisedt only in pure imagination.Eric found Jack to be quite the oddity, a real headache. At least for the next few days, it seemed Jack wouldn't be around, giving Eric some peace.But it wasn't long before Andy came in, sighing deeply."What's wrong, Andy?" Eric asked.Although there were many issues with the Innova Group, not much usually troubled Andy.Andy sighed again. "I just don't get it. My parents are driving me crazy. My son is almost ready for kindergarten, y
Lora sighed. "It's surprising that such a large company like the Innova Group lets you leave early. Aren't tech companies supposed to be obsessed with overtime?"Sylvia smiled. "That's other companies. We're different. If we don't need to work overtime, why should we?"Of course, when there's a tough challenge, we do put in extra hours, but the overtime pay is always fair."Lora nodded repeatedly, thinking the Innova Group was truly great.Sylvia asked in a low voice, "By the way, do you know why your dad invited us to dinner?"Lora shook her head. "I'm not sure. He just told me to arrange a meal with you all."They soon arrived at her home, where the food was already prepared. Tobias had even brought out a fine wine he had been saving for over a decade, clearly valuing this meal highly.After a couple of glasses, they chatted about everyday topics.As the conversation turned to children, Tobias sighed. "Our hair has turned white, and we only have Lora. In recent years, we've b
In the afternoon, Jack made a rare offer to treat Eric to a meal. Jack considered Eric one of his own, or at least he believed so.Eric initially declined, but Jack personally visited the Innova Group, determined to ensure that this meal took place.Eric was curious, "I've heard you live deep in the mountains and forests. Where did you get the money to treat me to a meal?"Jack's face showed surprise, "Seriously, Mr. Johnson? You thought we lived in the deep mountains and forests? Who told you that?""Did I... guess wrong?" Eric was also puzzled.Jack laughed. "Of course you did. We also live in big cities. Otherwise, how would we stay informed about the world's situation and development? We just aren't as profit-driven and don't participate in most conflicts."As for money, we do have some. We operate a few small companies, so while the money isn't much, we certainly have enough for expenses."For the first time, Eric's perception of so-called sages and strategists began to cha
