Chapter 1479: Chapter 1478: With More People, There’s Always a Breakthrough
When there are more people, there will always be a breakthrough.
Once one person is found, a series of issues crop up.
Their target is national treasures, the so-called ’regaining honor,’ which means retrieving those treasures and returning them to Longxing Country.
If Gong Qingwan acts like a cornered animal and destroys these inherited treasures, then their mission would be completely terminated.
Gu Tong probed, "I guess... regarding solutions, you’ve thought of part of it, right?"
Indeed, they are a couple who understand each other profoundly.
"Yes." Li Yan did not deny it, saying, "I’m considering long-term solutions. But I am weighing both personal and public interests. Besides this case, I’ll surely return to the Academy in the future. By then, the Li Group will need someone to manage it; Gong Qingwan is certainly not possible, so we must select new successors in advance."
Actually, this is also an urgent matter. Perhaps one day, when the ’regaining honor’ mission is completed, they’ll all return to Academy Pavilion, leaving the huge Li Family and its numerous businesses for someone to manage—it’s certainly a difficult task.
Therefore, they must now implement a dual strategy and plan everything thoroughly.
Only then will they have a way to escape from danger in the future.
Focusing only on the present is certainly not feasible.
Gu Tong pursed her lips and said, "Hiring new staff is also fraught with difficulties. Recruiting large numbers may allow Gong Qingwan’s people to infiltrate, so you’ve been cautious, avoiding rash actions, right?"
She understood Li Yan so well that she could even accurately guess his innermost thoughts.
Li Yan did not deny it, saying, "Yes, that’s my concern. But more important is that the people attracted are unreliable, and there’s currently no way to clear them. Both sides are at an impasse, which is indeed a problem."
Gu Tong chuckled lightly, saying, "Actually... there’s another way to solve the current situation. The post-service placement for trainees is a major affair for the Academy. If our Li Group proactively invites and offers placements to these individuals, without needing clearing, pure and reliable personnel—wouldn’t this kill two birds with one stone?"
The solution she proposed was not something Li Yan hadn’t thought of, but precisely because he had thought of it yet hadn’t acted, it led to the current situation.
Li Yan had once led trainees, naturally understanding their post-service placement difficulties. If he could address this issue, he could indeed solve some of the trainees’ post-service problems.
"But the regaining honor mission is extensively connected, and we can’t inform them, so only leaving them in danger—I can’t bear it!" Li Yan finally expressed his thoughts.
Once trainees retire, they’re no longer trainees. Li Yan wants them to have stable lives.
If he recruits them, it may involve safety issues.
Gu Tong thought for a moment and said, "We lack personnel. Offering them better treatment and recruiting them is to replace non-pure elements within the company. We need reliable persons, not trainees for combat. The two don’t conflict."
As long as these points are distinguished, with reliable insiders and properly placed talents, the company can get on track, beyond anyone’s control.
There’s no need to entwine two separate tasks forcefully.
"What you said makes sense."
Li Yan’s concerns were not special things but his responsibility as an officer, an inherent affection for trainees that’s unchangeable.
Li Yan again tucked Gu Tong in the blanket, laughed, "Then tomorrow, I’ll talk with Qiao Chenyi, see if he has any new ideas, and we’ll proceed from there."
Indeed.
Many matters are resolved through communication.
Initially, Li Yan didn’t have the ultimate method for handling.
Now with a clear plan, execution can begin.
"Okay." Gu Tong mischievously reached out from under the blanket, grasped Li Yan’s large hand, and said, "You should sleep early too."
