Yu Zhou found himself in a rather awkward position, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Firstly, it was a matter he absolutely had to get involved in.
Secondly, he had already handed this responsibility over to Liang Xiaohai.
Interfering now would clearly indicate a lack of trust in Liang Xiaohai.
However, upon further reflection, it wasn't an insurmountable problem. He could handle the negotiations himself, and then have Liang Xiaohai take the lead. After all, he no longer intended to personally liaise with television stations after this.
Entrusting all other television stations to Liang Xiaohai was undoubtedly the best choice.
What Yu Zhou needed now were managers who could independently handle tasks and even make their own decisions.
In this regard, the current "Three Horses" company was, to some extent, still lacking.
Upon hearing that Yu Zhou had finally agreed and even proposed a viable solution, Liang Xiaohai breathed a sigh of relief.
He harbored ambitions and aspired to fully utilize his talents and abilities within the "Three Horses" company. However, there were certain matters that individuals like him were not in a position to decide.
It wasn't a lack of authority, but rather that making such significant decisions carried an immense psychological burden.
Just over a year ago, Liang Xiaohai was merely a small dried fruit factory manager. Now, he had reached a position he wouldn't have dared to imagine in his entire life. If he made a grave mistake in this role, even if Yu Zhou said nothing, would he still have the face to remain with "Three Horses"?
In his eyes, he was an early follower of Yu Zhou, benefiting from his veteran status in many aspects. If his current capabilities were insufficient to be a decision-maker for a large corporation, he could only help Yu Zhou identify and rectify shortcomings.
Everyone knew this was a difficult task, but at this point, Liang Xiaohai had no choice but to brace himself.
"Don't worry, I'll handle everything properly during this period, so you can relax a bit."
"Then you can properly spend time with your sister-in-law and your family."
Liang Xiaohai's words were utterly sincere. It wasn't that he was particularly power-hungry. In fact, as long as the entire "Three Horses" company developed well, whether he held power or not was inconsequential to him.
However, not holding power didn't mean being merely a figurehead.
At least, in Yu Zhou's opinion, while this person might still need to learn a bit about strategic vision, Liang Xiaohai was undeniably the strongest person in the entire company when it came to day-to-day management and systems.
It could be said that without Liang Xiaohai in this aspect, with such unchecked expansion, even with Yu Zhou, "Three Horses" would have been rife with problems.
Yet, this individual had a knack for turning seemingly impossible tasks into realities.
In this regard, Yu Zhou admitted to admiring him greatly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have considered giving Liang Xiaohai more responsibilities.
"Yes, after going to the television station, I'll need a period of rest."
"Jiang Jie is due soon. At least during this period, I can't come to the company or handle these matters."
As soon as Yu Zhou mentioned his wife, a smile graced his lips and his heart. Clearly, in his eyes, the greatest pride of his second life would never be founding a food company or entering the electronics industry.
Instead, it was being able to stay with Jiang Jie in this lifetime. He had prevented the tragedy of his previous life from recurring. This was the primary reason Yu Zhou felt content, even if his current life wasn't as prosperous as his previous one.
It was no wonder people said that heaven had favored him. Knowing his greatest regret in his past life and allowing him to rectify that mistake. Without this, even if he had successfully been reborn and become the world's richest man, he would still have been alone.
For Yu Zhou, nothing was more important than his own happiness. If he felt content, then having money or not was irrelevant. Conversely, even with inexhaustible wealth, one could only use it to numb oneself and purchase happiness. Therefore, fundamentally, it was still about making oneself happy and content, wasn't it?
Seeing Yu Zhou's expression, Liang Xiaohai couldn't help but smile. He had come to understand that for his boss, nothing outweighed his wife and children. If, one day, someone were to ask him to trade his wealth for his wife and children, Yu Zhou wouldn't even need to think before answering. Of course, he would choose his wife and children.
He felt a certain envy for this state of mind. Only those who didn't have to worry about money or life could exhibit such an attitude, right?
"Beep beep, beep beep!"
Suddenly, as the two stood in silence, unsure how to continue the conversation, the mobile phone in Yu Zhou's briefcase rang. The phone's ringtone immediately broke the awkwardness between them.
Yu Zhou smiled apologetically, picked up his mobile phone, and answered it.
"Mmm! Huh? Going to the hospital now?"
"Alright, alright, I'm on my way immediately!"
"What?"
"What did you say?"
"Okay! Okay! I understand! I'll be there right away."
Initially, Yu Zhou's face showed a blissful smile, as if he were a child, his joy almost unbearable to witness.
However, upon hearing the latter part of the conversation, his entire demeanor instantly turned pale. The expression on his face sent a wave of dread through Liang Xiaohai, who had followed Yu Zhou for so long.
What was happening? Had something happened to the boss?
Before Liang Xiaohai could react, he heard Yu Zhou, his face etched with anxiety, issue an urgent command from behind him.
"You drive me to the provincial hospital now, immediately!"
"Jiang Jie is in labor, and the doctor says it's very bad..."
These simple words, "very bad," caused Liang Xiaohai, who had been prepared to offer congratulations, to immediately frown. Without hesitation, he sprinted towards the parking lot. He moved with such urgency, it was as if he ran the entire way.
