Chapter 812: Chapter 340 In the Blink of an Eye, It’s New Year’s Eve_2

"And we at Xingyu just don’t actively do evil, we’re not completely against collecting a fee for breaking a contract."

Su Huai patiently talked with the branch manager about the core operational philosophies and certain standards.

"Some of these donkeys and nags out there, they rush in when there’s a benefit, and throw a fuss at the slightest dissatisfaction, always with an attitude that ’I’m weak so I’m right’, or ’I’m a woman so I must be respected.’

For such people, as long as we’re on solid ground, then we should deal with them decisively.

I’m entrusting you with the authority on this matter: sue if you need to sue, claim damages if you need to claim damages.

There’s just one thing, our base of hosts is large, and there must be no shortage of similar people and incidents, so you must ensure that evidence is in place, be rational and transparent, and aim to maintain our good reputation, not destroy it, understood?"

"Yes! Mr. Su, I will definitely do a good job."

Manager Dai was quite excited, sitting in this position not only came with a high salary but also bonuses from the net profits of the branch—do well, and the future was immensely bright.

Having dealt with this last bit of business, Su Huai went back to enjoy a quiet New Year.

And then... quiet my ass!

Every day brought an endless stream of guests, with greetings and small talk that were beyond handling.

Those who’ve made a fortune should understand, once the holiday season came around, there was endless hustle and bustle specifically coming your way.

Su Huai was like that, not getting a break all the way up to the 30th of the new year.

A common question was, "What are you doing now?"

Whether you respond or not, there was trouble.

Ignore them, and they’d chuckle dryly, lamenting, "You’re aloof now, back then you were blah blah blah..." babbling on about the era of the Shaolin Five Ancestors.

Or they would go, "Oh, you’ve struck it rich now, everything’s changed, oh my goodness..."

If you respond, then immediately they’d climb up the conversation: "Could you maybe take care of your little bro/some big brother/niece or nephew or someone?"

Su Huai was new to sudden wealth; he had no idea it would be like this.

But people with high emotional intelligence adapt quickly and know how to play Tai Chi—pushing away, hanging upside down, going along with the conversation or asking against the grain, talking less about oneself and more about national affairs, yada yada, like those Big Horse Monkeys around us...

Learn people, it’s all about technique.

On the 30th of the new year, the house finally quieted down, and then the internet was noisy again.

Su Huai played on his main account on the platform all day, repeatedly rejecting discussion requests from Gou Star’s executives, and as a result, Pei Shuyu’s live session experienced glitches and started lagging.

Being a good girl, she simply stopped streaming and chatted with Su Huai as if nothing happened.

"When am I going to Panda?"

"Maybe in March, I’ll give you a break in the meantime."

"I don’t need a break." Realizing she sounded a bit harsh, she added, "I’ll just go over when my contract expires."

Su Huai smiled wryly, "The main issue is, there’s still some unfinished business on Panda’s side."

"Still unfinished? How long has it been?" Pei Shuyu’s eyes widened.

With matters this big, as long as she asked, Su Huai wouldn’t hide anything, thus he meticulously explained the reasons and the aftermath.

"Wang Siming celebrated his birthday in January, he didn’t invite me, but he had Tara go, and afterwards, he put out a series of press releases; I reckon, it’s likely the agency in South Korea gave in and conceded some benefits to him, starting to mend their relationship.

Since that day, Panda’s negotiation team seems to have ideas about raising their offer, the talks are very tough.

Based on my analysis, it might be that MBC in South Korea has pulled some strings for Panda, not ruling out the possibility of idols, hosts, and esports players starting to stream on Panda.

Their higher-ups clearly have differing opinions, thinking that if they wait, Panda’s valuation might go up, giving them more negotiating power..."

Pei Shuyu understood and asked the crucial question, "So, they still need us, they just want to cite a higher price?"

"Exactly," nodded Su Huai.

Pei Shuyu got annoyed, "How can they be like this? Flipping back and forth... I’m not saying changes of mind are forbidden, but how can they be so indecisive about such major decisions affecting development?"

Su Huai couldn’t help but chuckle, "That’s just how Wang Siming is, you’ll understand once you’ve dealt with him more."

"I don’t want to deal with him, I don’t want to bother, I don’t want to see!"

Su Huai could sense that this wasn’t entirely driven by Wang Siming’s own ideas; clearly, someone was behind the scenes stirring things up.

But as a leader, if one’s will isn’t firm, if they are easily swayed, and if they aren’t resolute when they need to be, choosing to be stubborn when they shouldn’t be, that’s the biggest issue.

Pei Shuyu pondered and then suddenly caught on, "Since Wang Siming is like that, do we need to keep tying ourselves to him? I’m not feeling confident about Panda anymore."

Su Huai laughed, "If he was particularly wise and capable, we’d collaborate well and make money together. If he can’t control his underlings, and anyone thinks they can jump around, why shouldn’t we turn the tables?"

"Dizzy! Have you been eyeing Panda Platform all this time?!"

You can’t say the girl isn’t sharp; she’s never been part of the scheming, but she could see right through it after hearing just one sentence.

"It’s not about who I’m eyeing, I can work with any company on equal terms."

Su Huai patiently taught her the logic at the core of business behavior.

"We just must have all our contingencies in place first, being open to any possibility.

When no surprises occur, we focus on our own, making advances in our main business. Once a surprise does happen, we react swiftly, doing what needs to be done.

Business competition isn’t about ruthlessly plotting against someone who won’t falter on their own; no amount of planning would work.

A good competitive strategy is to foresee who’s going to falter and then, while focusing on ourselves, wait patiently. When an opportunity arises, we take a bite and then joyfully retreat, staying true to ourselves."
