Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 948: Chapter 948: Comrades, Move Out!

Zhao Gushen’s lips twitched.

"Alright, proceed as planned," Zhao Gushen said.

"Yes." Xiao Ruofeng left happily.

Fortunately, Zhao Gushen had foresight and predicted that Laixifu Company wouldn’t just admit defeat quietly.

So he had already issued orders within the company.

All departments were prepared.

They were just waiting for Zhao Gushen’s command to catch Laixifu Company off guard.

Right now, they were betting on Laixifu Company being completely unprepared.

Laixifu Company probably never dreamed that Changping would strike so quickly.

They thought Zhao Gushen was just bluffing and wouldn’t really do anything to them.

Even if Zhao Gushen was to take action, it would be a future concern and impossible to react so quickly.

Thus, Lucas and his team weren’t worried.

Little did they know, Zhao Gushen had foreseen their thoughts and had been prepared well in advance.

If Lucas actually admitted defeat, the preparations would be wasted, which wouldn’t matter.

If they could get the benefits they wanted without giving anything, that would be perfect.

But if Lucas didn’t admit defeat, then they could strike the opponent in the fastest possible manner.

Whenever Zhao Gushen stirred things up, he was fast, accurate, and ruthless, never leaving the enemy time to prepare.

Xiao Ruofeng sent a mass email to each department, from department heads to department employees, everyone received a copy.

Not only Changping Group’s headquarters but even the subsidiaries under Changping Group, including Zhao Dingli’s Changlin, all received the same email.

Xiao Ruofeng:

Comrades, take action!

A very frivolous email, yet it stirred everyone in Changping into action.

Even Zhao Dingye’s company didn’t miss this email.

Although Zhao Dingye often opposed Zhao Gushen,

in the end, he still had to follow Zhao Gushen’s orders.

In the big picture, even if he didn’t want to, as long as Zhao Gushen was the president of Changping, he had to follow his commands.

At most, he might slack off a bit.

But if Changyi, which he was responsible for, really dragged behind, in the end, when companies settle their results, they find Changyi falling last.

Not only would Changyi look bad, but Zhao Dingye’s capability would also be questioned.

This is what Zhao Dingye currently wants to avoid the most.

So even if deep down he was unwilling, Zhao Dingye had to obediently follow orders.

Zhao Gushen also accurately predicted Zhao Dingye’s mentality.

And once everyone at Changping received Xiao Ruofeng’s email, they began to roll up their sleeves and prepare to act swiftly.

What?

Asking them if Zhao Gushen is abusing his power and integrating private feelings into work?

Doesn’t anyone at Changping have any objections?

Employee 1: "(Beep—) The president is our boss, Changping isn’t a company I own, no matter how things go, (Beep—) the president still pays my wages as usual, what opinion can I have? If something goes wrong, it’s not my responsibility."

Employee 2: "(Beep—) Although the president is (Beep—), he is reliable in important matters. He wouldn’t act just because of personal feelings; we trust him. After all, he is our boss."

Employee 3: "What nonsense (Beep—) are you talking? They’re bullying us on our doorstep; are we not allowed to fight back? How weak does one have to be? We at Changping aren’t someone who can’t retaliate!"

Employee 4: "They were the ones who provoked first. If Changping doesn’t take action, wouldn’t we be looked down upon? Do you look down upon us? Do you?"

Employee 5: "I say the best outcome is if we can have the International Cooking Competition hosted by Changping from now on. Why should the power be handed over to Laixifu Company?"

Employee 6: "I’ve watched the previous International Cooking Competitions, and there’s a lot of shady business, not fair at all. It’d be better to have us at Changping host it; we guarantee it’ll be done soundly."

After the fight breaks out, should a reporter come to interview, they’ll hear the employees’ responses.

A journalist: "..."

How has the conversation turned to hosting the International Cooking Competition?

Does Changping actually want to take over the hosting rights?

The journalist was dumbfounded.

The official blog of the International Cooking Competition’s host, facing several questions from Changping, did not provide any answers and pretended not to see.

Maintaining the original resolutions unchanged.

Lucas’s secretary contacted Xiao Ruofeng, but the other side did not reach back.

The executives of Laixifu Company unanimously thought Zhao Gushen was just bluffing.

They believed their decision was correct.

Then, on the fourth day after the incident, the secretary rushed in again, looking visibly unsettled and distressed.

Lucas frowned at the secretary: "What’s wrong?"

It seemed like there were quite a lot of matters happening recently.

The secretary said, "Our previous sponsorship for the International Cooking Competition was already settled."

Lucas nodded.

So, is there a problem?

"However, from title sponsors to embedded advertisers, kitchenware, stoves, refrigerators, ovens, and other small appliances, most brand sponsors have pulled out," the secretary said.

"Why?" Lucas was shocked and his mind buzzed, becoming a chaotic mess due to this news.

"Which brands are involved?" Lucas asked.

The secretary directly handed over the meticulously arranged list for Lucas to review: "They are all brands from Hua Country."

"We recruited so many brands from Hua Country?" Lucas was dumbstruck.

He was certainly aware of this to some extent, but as the president, he couldn’t possibly be detailed about everything.

Naturally, once each department completed their tasks, they would report back to him.

The secretary gloomily remarked, "Companies from Hua Country have money; haven’t we always said they are naive with deep pockets? Plus, they especially believe in the prestige of anything international."

"We promoted the International Cooking Competition well, and indeed it is famous in the culinary world. They’re eager to enhance their international recognition and have money, so they essentially ended up competing for ad slots and title rights among themselves."

Many of these brands have already expanded overseas.

Perhaps their recognition abroad isn’t high yet, and their market share isn’t large.

But no problem—a vast domestic market supports their overseas expansion.

The consumer base is large, market demand is high, enough to support their overseas pursuits.

Moreover, the economic growth in Hua Country is always on the rise, demand is perpetually high.

Contrasting with the economies of developed western countries, which have plateaued.

With a small population, their market is scarce.

Everyone is eager to enter Hua Country for expansion, indicating their markets are saturated, even shrinking.

Thus, the brand owners from Hua Country often overspend beyond actual value in international promotion.

Lucas, upon seeing this, realized the title sponsor was from Hua Country, kitchen sponsors were from Hua Country, refrigerators branded Hua Country, ovens branded Hua Country.
