Chapter 296 The Company's "Intrigue and Backstabbing"
We arrived at Akemi Miyano's office. The new office was completely renovated, simple yet elegant!
Now, sitting in her office, Akemi Miyano no longer looked tired with dark circles under her eyes. She appeared much more energetic and capable, and exuded an aura of dominance... well, perhaps a kind of domineering aura from the business world?
It's clear that Akemi Miyano has truly become a powerful businesswoman!
"Oh, the big boss finally knows to come and inspect the work?" Miyano Akemi joked as soon as she saw Li Muyang.
But you could hear the resentment and helplessness in his tone. Such a big company, just handed it over to her like that, Li Muyang didn't even look at it, he really trusts her! You know, when Miyano Akemi was first appointed as the manager, even the official authorities were wary and not very optimistic about the person Li Muyang found from who-knows-where.
This is also normal.
After all, the scale of "Dianmi" is destined to be huge! It's not something an ordinary person can manage!
Fortunately, Li Muyang didn't misjudge her... Well, actually, it's Miyano Akemi who proved herself!
Li Muyang really acted like a hands-off manager, only providing technical support and communicating with the company through communication tools, and completely neglecting his responsibilities!
Indeed, the company didn't encounter any problems that required Li Muyang's personal intervention. With the support of Li Muyang and the official support, Miyano Akemi resolved most of the issues. The company's product quality is just too good! It's hard to criticize them.
The main reason is that Li Muyang is not short of money! When he started his company, he was prepared to lose a lot of money in the early stages. Even in the later stages, he didn't expect to make much money. As long as he didn't lose too much, he would be considered a victory! He handed over his secret stash of money in China to Miyano Akemi, and that batch of armor he sold was a continuous cash cow!
Another reason is that "Dianmi" is not listed on the stock market! Whether Lao Li makes money or loses money is his own business. He doesn't need to consult with anyone when he executes orders. Miyano Akemi can do whatever she wants, unless it's a decision that determines the direction of major developments, in which case she needs to report to Li Muyang. Otherwise, it's all a one-man show.
This series of combined moves actually propelled "Dianmi" into a period of explosive growth! They carved out a lucrative market share in the global electronics market, and no one else could touch them!
Li Muyang isn't following their usual routine!
Ahem, getting back to the point, Li Muyang, feeling embarrassed and guilty after being teased by Miyano Akemi, immediately changed the subject: "...I just saw that you've been working hard for a while, so how about I give you a break?"
Akemi Miyano rolled her eyes: "Come on! Give me a vacation? Who's going to handle the work? If I take a vacation, all the work that piles up will end up being mine to deal with. Isn't that just making things difficult for myself?"
Li Muyang could only chuckle awkwardly and scratch his head, not knowing what to say, because Miyano Akemi was right.
What? Him?
Actually, it’s not impossible…
"Didn't I find you someone to help you?" Li Muyang said, pointing to Himeko Murata, who was curiously looking around.
Himeko-sensei and Miyano Akemi both fell silent.
The atmosphere became a little strange for a moment.
Akemi Miyano's mind raced through a series of scenarios. Had she done something wrong? Or was Old Li distrusting her as the company grew, and thus hiring someone to keep an eye on her? Or perhaps there were other reasons...
Himeko Murata thought to herself, "Isn't Li Muyang's emotional intelligence a bit too low? Who talks like that? Isn't that hurtful?"
Li Muyang, seemingly unconcerned, continued, "Let me introduce you. This is Himeko Murata. She comes from the world of Honkai Impact 3rd. The armor I developed originated from that world, and she was also a user of the armor there."
Miyano Akemi was taken aback. Of course she knew about the armor Li Muyang was talking about! The company made its fortune from it, and she even had a set of armor specially made for her by Li Muyang, tailor-made to be the most suitable for her in every aspect.
She just didn't expect to meet a local.
Because... Honkai Impact 3rd... even Akemi Miyano knows it's a game within this world!
"Also, don't overthink it. I brought Himeko here just to give her something to do, and incidentally, to let her practice your combat skills." Li Muyang continued leisurely, "Mingmei, you've been a decision-maker in the company for too long, and you're starting to overthink things too! Work isn't everything in life!"
“I’ve already investigated on the way here, and you only have one secretary! Is this a joke? Such a big company, and you’re handling almost everything yourself? Sister! If your sister finds out you’re working so hard, won’t she blame me for exploiting you? Now that the company is on the right track, it’s time for you to try to relax a bit!”
"Also, don't overthink it. All that backstabbing and infighting in the company has made you a little suspicious! I definitely trust you. If I didn't, why would I bother inviting you from all over the world? What's yours is yours, and no one can take it away. I don't want our friendship to be affected by having you manage the company for me, nor do I want our relationship to be just a transaction..."
That's a rather ambiguous statement.
Ms. Miyano Akemi blushed... Don't misunderstand, she wasn't embarrassed by Li Muyang's words, she just realized that she had overthought things.
Teacher Himeko remarked, "Oh my, no wonder you have so many girls in your little world, Old Li, you really know how to sweet-talk people!"
Li Muyang glared at Himeko-sensei, then looked at Miyano Akemi seriously and said, "You understand what I mean. If Ai knew you were working like this, she'd probably kill me. You really should take a break!"
"There's one more thing! I've never told you, but actually the company's AI Bodhi Tree... is my incarnation."
Miyano Akemi blinked in confusion. What did that mean? Didn't Li Muyang leave a clone in the company? But that clone didn't have much autonomy; most of the time it was just for show, serving as a stamp and signature.
It's definitely not going to be used for official business.
In fact, Li Muyang knew that the development of artificial intelligence must be restricted. Therefore, his restriction was to restrict himself. After obtaining the Bodhi Tree, Li Muyang refined it into an avatar, similar to the method of carrying the three corpses, but not the same type, because Li Muyang planted the Bodhi Tree in his own body and made it a part of his body.
The Bodhi Tree, a dignified innate spiritual root, is far more than just a processor! That would be a huge waste of its potential. Its functions are far more numerous! What Li Muyang has shown so far is merely a drop in the ocean!
Therefore, aside from Miyano Akemi's own efforts, Li Muyang never stood idly by regarding company matters. His absence during this period was also a way of observing Miyano Akemi, examining her character and abilities. Similarly, the incarnation of the Bodhi Tree was also learning, studying the company's handling methods.
Now that she knows about this, Miyano Akemi doesn't seem too disappointed. She had a feeling before that even with official help, it was a bit too easy for her to stay in the top position of the company. Even the business tactics she encountered seemed a bit rudimentary. Now that she understands that Bodhi Tree was helping her in secret, she is relieved.
As expected... I'm not that amazing after all!
As for Li Muyang observing her, she didn't care at all, because the company originally belonged to Li Muyang!
If Li Muyang completely shirked his responsibilities and left Miyano Akemi to shoulder all the burdens alone, and now suddenly wants to parachute in someone to keep an eye on her, Miyano Akemi will definitely have objections. After all, if she has worked hard to build everything she has now, and now that things have developed, they want to poach her.
But the current situation is that Li Muyang had taken precautions from the beginning. Now he trusts himself more in terms of both character and ability. He brought Himeko Murata along not to replace him, but to prevent himself from becoming a complete slave to work and to give her a break. Therefore, Miyano Akemi naturally has no objections.
"Wow, you're really good at nesting dolls!" Himeko Murata was shocked when she learned the truth!
Li Muyang shrugged: "Don't misunderstand, I don't have any deep thoughts. I can only make up for it with my methods. Some company secrets are of great importance. I have to keep a backup plan. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it if something goes wrong!"
Akemi Miyano nodded, which was one of the main reasons she had no objections. As the apparent manager, she was also aware that many things Li Muyang had left behind in the company could potentially shatter many of the existing situations on Blue Star.
Because many of them are related to weaponry! Many of those designated as "Terminators" are quite powerful!
If even a few leak out... it will be a huge problem!
Moreover, although Dianmi appears to be a mobile phone seller, it actually sells accessories! It also has official partnerships, which are practically unique in China!
After seeing the bizarre and wonderful equipment in the laboratory in Li Muyang's direct connection to the small world, Himeko Murata fell silent... She seemed to understand!
She suspected that if she used some of these things to deal with the Honkai, even the Honkai might not be able to withstand it!
Originally, there weren't that many; most remained at the blueprint stage because Li Muyang didn't have that much time to build them. He would just draw a few diagrams to relieve the pressure when he had too many ideas in his mind.
Unfortunately, an extra science and engineering rabbit appeared... That's right, it's Putin Rabbit! This big shot, the second brother rabbit! He was bored in the lab and deeply grateful for Li Muyang's appreciation, so he spent his free time realizing a bunch of blueprints from the lab.
Second Brother truly lives up to his name; he independently corrected some of the impractical issues in Li Muyang's design drawings! He even significantly improved performance!
After some reasonable persuasion, Akemi Miyano decided to take a vacation. She'll go traveling with Himeko Murata! Of course, it'll only be within the country; she doesn't plan to go abroad because there's no need.
Of course, it's impossible to just leave now; there must be a meeting to let them know. Secondly, Li Muyang also has some other things to take care of.
Yes, it's about "internal issues" within the company.
