Gale nodded when he saw Dean finally
understood.
“So, I will still go back to that problem. If
you were me, how would you solve this
issue?”
Dean thought for a while as he looked at
Gale’s calm face. He knew very well that
Gale had already decided what to do in his
heart.
This question seemed casual, but it was
actually an inspection.
Gale had no heirs, and he only adopted
many orphans like Dean until he was old.
That was why not a lot of people could call
Gale their grandpa.
Because of Gale’s deliberate training,
many of them were able to be
independent and take charge of matters
themselves.
Dean was originally one of the best, but
after he messed up the last matter, it
greatly reduced Gale’s good impression of
him.
Although he could still stay with Gale and
help him now, Dean could clearly feel that
Gale’s attitude towards him was not as
good as before.
This test was a rare opportunity.
Dean knew Gale too well. Gale was not
stingy in giving opportunities to others,
otherwise, he would not be able to be here
today, let alone be asked this question.
However, Gale had a very distinct
personality.
What he really needed was not a talented
successor, but a successor who
maintained a high degree of consistency
with him and could implement the
Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s
management philosophy even a hundred
years later.
Gale was too conceited. In his opinion, his
ideas and opinions were the most suitable
for the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, s
o he would not allow others to change
them.
Even if it was someone he cultivated, he
would not allow them to influence the management philosophy no matter how good the person was. It just so happened that Dean was the best
candidate among the successors that Gale
had cultivated thus far.
That was why he could get a second chance.
Hence, in the face of this test, Dean’s answer could not indicate how he would solve the problem most appropriately, instead, he needed to guess Gale’s attitude. If he guessed right, he would win. However, if it was wrong, he might really be over.
It was a matter of life and death, so Dean did not dare to waste any time.
He took a deep breath and put himself in Gale’s shoes to think about the problem and weigh all the pros and cons.
He did this for an extremely long time.
Dean did not say anything, and Gale did not rush him.
Just as Dean understood him, Gale also understood Dean well.
He was sure that Dean would realize what
he meant.
He did not mind the people below him
trying to figure out what he meant
because this was exactly what he wanted.
He was over eighty years old, so no matter
how energetic he was, he would still need t
o count his days. Moreover, over the past
two years, he had clearly felt that his
energy and physical condition were not as
good as before.
As his age and influence began to decline i
In the Haddock Chamber of Commerce,
factions separate from his own had begun
to appear.
