Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 846: Praising Ting

That night, none of them stayed over.

Qin Lin had to go home to deal with a troublesome blind date arranged by his mom; Zhou Yu had training the next day and a match in a few days, so he couldn’t stay long either.

Gu Shiting personally escorted Sheng Tang.

Along the way, the two of them casually chatted about various topics.

When Gu Shiting talked about his laboratory, he would say a lot; but when it came to company matters, he would summarize everything in one sentence, clearly not wanting to dwell on it.

"If you don’t like it, you could leave it all to your brother-in-law," Sheng Tang said, "How much of Huishi Group do your family currently own?"

Gu Shiting replied, "77%."

Sheng Tang was amazed, "After all these years, your family’s shares still haven’t been diluted. Holding such a high percentage, that’s impressive!"

"This aspect is mainly due to my uncle’s current status. My uncle’s status determines our family’s control in the business world," Gu Shiting explained honestly.

Then, he clarified his stance: "If you ask me, it would be better to throw off another ten percent of the shares, become a major shareholder, and not get involved in the company’s operations.

This way, just collecting money annually, my sister enjoys acting, she can act; I like physics, I can research it, everyone is happy." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Sheng Tang thought of Mrs. Gu.

She laughed, "If Mrs. Gu heard this, she’d definitely scold you for lacking ambition."

"My mom does have that tendency," Gu Shiting admitted.

He really didn’t want to manage the company personally.

What era are we in? Huishi is not a family business; holding onto so many shares is pointless.

Nowadays, it’s the age of professional managers where everyone collaborates, hiring a competent CEO to manage the company. It’s enough for the Gu Family to have a voice at the shareholders’ meeting.

Insisting on managing everything personally is exhausting and not worthwhile at all.

"I’ve been persuading my mom to give five percent of the shares to my brother-in-law, then strongly back him to become the group’s president; the remaining five percent could be saved for my future daughter-in-law," Gu Shiting said.

Sheng Tang chuckled.

"Don’t you want to be the president of the group?" Sheng Tang asked him.

Gu Shiting: "This is not a child’s play. Although the shareholders’ meeting is dominated by our family, how can I convince others with my qualifications and capabilities? If the company incurs a loss, our family would suffer the most.

Why should I be at odds with money? Selecting a capable person to take the position to earn us more money, isn’t that better? My brother-in-law could do it."

Song Chen’s abilities were recognized by everyone.

If Mrs. Gu was not confident in hiring an outsider as president, Song Chen could be promoted first.

Gradually diluting the shares in the future, the Gu Family could withdraw from the management, only controlling the shareholders’ meeting, choosing suitable managers to ensure the company remains profitable across generations.

Sheng Tang greatly appreciated it: "Ting, I’ve always felt that you are actually more clear-headed than anyone else, with a very strategic foresight. I support your ideas."

Gu Shiting laughed lightly.

While driving, he reached out and gently touched Sheng Tang’s hair.

Sheng Tang felt the warmth of his palm.

The car arrived outside Gu Jiahui’s apartment, and Gu Shiting pulled over, Sheng Tang put on sunglasses and a mask, trying not to reveal even the slightest bit, then got out of the car.

When she returned to the apartment, Gu Jiahui and Cheng Lichuan were already asleep.

Sheng Tang lay on the bed, recalling the events of the day, still feeling very warm inside.

Her heart, cold for several years, was gradually coming back to life.

She had a good night’s sleep, waking only by noon the next day, went to the company to work out in the afternoon, and then continued sleeping at night.

After resting well, she embarked on a hectic and busy promotional season.
