Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 202. 200. Winning Hearts and Minds is Paramount
"what?"

"You're just leaving?"

Inside the top-floor office of Jieyou Media, He Min was standing in front of a drip coffee machine, skillfully operating it while glancing at Zhou Mingyuan not far away with a half-smile.

The water was clear and crisp. She washed a small blue-and-white porcelain cup, poured coffee, added half a piece of sugar, and used a milk jug to add an extra spoonful of milk. The silver spoon jingled incessantly.

The jet black and milky white gradually merged and swirled, blending into a silky and soft brown.

"Why not?"

Zhou Mingyuan immediately understood He Min's implication and raised an eyebrow.

"I really couldn't have imagined you were like this, boss."

After finishing her coffee, He Min stood in front of the full-length mirror by the pool for a few seconds, shook her hands, smoothed her hair, carefully tidied her appearance, and walked towards Zhou Mingyuan.

"They really respect their teachers."

The assistant deliberately drew out her words, pursing her lips as she added.

To most outsiders, their boss, Zhou Mingyuan, is probably best described as someone who upholds law and justice.

Young and promising, exceptionally talented, and full of integrity.
Choosing to start a business in the legal consulting field is like having a natural shield cast on yourself, protecting you from the struggle for fairness and justice for life.

The boss has wildly imaginative ideas, takes a unique approach to entrepreneurship, and makes money at a rate that's truly unmatched.

Moreover, he is incredibly kind to his employees.

Just as he had told himself before, Zhou Mingyuan almost completely relinquished control over daily management and only focused on the results.

The junior staff were incredibly happy working under him.

Even his other MCN company operates in the same way, always considering the needs of its employees.

Not only were the operations team offered top-tier salaries in the live streaming industry, but Du Jianuo's contract was also reportedly meticulously crafted to achieve a win-win situation.

Anyone who has ever dealt with Zhou Mingyuan has nothing but praise and compliments when talking about him behind his back.

But He Min knew that these were all personas deliberately created by the boss.

It's just a persona.

A good boss, genuine and down-to-earth.
These labels, it's not fair to say they're fake.

But these days, which capitalist who makes money looks so simple?
Perhaps only by spending time together day and night can He Min learn more and see another side of successful people.

For example, Zhou Mingyuan's way of dealing with both overt and covert rules, his skill and discretion when dealing with administrative departments, his decisiveness and ruthlessness when demanding benefits, and his cold-blooded ruthlessness in suppressing competitors.
For example, his womanizing.

In matters of the heart, Zhou Mingyuan made no attempt to conceal his philandering.

He wanted all the girls who were close to the boss!

He wants them all!

No one is missing!
That's right.

He Min had tentatively asked Zhou Mingyuan this question several times, and each time he gave the same answer.

It wasn't until a deeper level of trust was established, and Zhou Mingyuan even entrusted her with his daily schedule, that He Min realized he was serious.

Scumbag!

damn thing!
Huge radish!
He Min was constantly tormented by his conscience. He knew the schedules of the several beauties by heart. Whenever they went on a date, he would either book a restaurant for them or arrange the time to avoid them clashing.

This incident alone prompted the assistant, who held traditional values, to secretly complain a lot.

Despite her initial complaints, He Min gradually came to understand and accept the situation as her knowledge and social circle expanded.

Capable men will inevitably acquire more resources and women; this is a social law.

Not to mention their own boss Zhou Mingyuan, even several middle managers in Mingli Company went to KTV to celebrate and drink with girls after completing their monthly targets ahead of schedule.

No wonder everyone is so excited, considering that only two-thirds of the month has passed!
With the traffic running smoothly and official endorsement, the company's inquiries and sales are increasing at an astonishing rate.

When placed on a pivot table, it looks like a clean, straight bullish candlestick, very neat and tight.

He Min quickly realized that once a man has money, or is about to become rich, he's pretty much the same person. So, based on the assistant's understanding of her boss, nothing happened after she and Shen Yunrong went out drinking late at night and got completely drunk.
This is not so reasonable.

Perhaps this would be understandable for an ordinary college student, but this is Zhou Mingyuan.

Zhou Mingyuan is someone who disregards identity and stance, completely disregards rules and regulations, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

As her personal assistant, He Min was well aware of the rapidly growing physical relationship between her boss and Du Jianuo.

He's not some herbivore!
You should know that the boss has helped Shen Yunrong so much behind the scenes.

Even He Min herself wouldn't believe that she had no interest in her and was only helping out of respect for her teacher.

Isn't it because Sister Yun has an outstanding temperament and is beautiful?

"Come closer."

He Min placed the coffee cup in the center of the adjustable computer desk, and Zhou Mingyuan smiled and waved to her, leaning closer.

"Yeah~"

"That'll teach you to be sarcastic and sarcastic towards the boss."

The man bent his middle finger and flicked the assistant's forehead lightly.

"Well, I just find it strange."

He Min covered her forehead, squinted her eyes, and pouted her aggrieved little mouth.

"It's obvious you're not the kind of honest male college student who would back down just because Sister Yun is a counselor."

"Sister Yun and you were both so drunk, and you didn't do anything, which is one thing, but you actually..."

"They left early?"

"I really don't understand this."

The assistant blinked, her eyes filled with the irrepressible curiosity of a girl.

"I think, even if you had reservations at the time, if you stayed with Sister Yun until she woke up early in the morning, there would definitely still be a chance, right?"

"Superficial, you're still too superficial."

Zhou Mingyuan crossed his arms, took a small sip of his coffee, and snorted coldly.

"Keep an eye on that one thing!"

"But you."

He Min hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Sima Guang said in the Zizhi Tongjian: "Winning hearts and minds is the best strategy, while attacking cities is the worst; psychological warfare is the best strategy, while military warfare is the worst."

As he spoke of these things, the man seemed to gain more patience, leaning back and crossing his legs.

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it too much. Just go."

"Go and pack Weiwei's birthday present for me."

".oh."

He Min straightened her shirt collar, obediently turned around, and looked somewhat confused.

She didn't quite understand the implication of Zhou Mingyuan's words.

What does "winning hearts and minds is the best strategy" mean?

Could it be Shen Yunrong?

But how is this possible!
Winning hearts and minds? What hearts and minds are you trying to win?
Shen Yunrong was ten years older than him!
If, with her eyes closed, something happened under the influence of alcohol and impulse, it's understandable that a 28-year-old woman like He Min would have physiological needs, given that she is also a girl.

But if we're talking about winning hearts and minds...
Are we asking for too much?
