485: Chapter 485 Zhao Fusu Offers Another Proposal

"I have a proposal regarding the management system of our Pioneer Group."

The voice of Zhao Fusu rang out in the conference hall, steady and powerful.

In an instant, the gazes of everyone in the hall seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, all focusing directly on him.

Every time Zhao Fusu made a proposal, it was like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves in everyone's hearts and causing a massive impact.

Therefore, whether it was the calculating Xiang Liang or the brilliant strategist Fan Zeng, they could not help but perk up their ears, their eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation, eager to know what astonishing proposal Zhao Fusu would throw out this time.

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."

Zhao Fusu spoke slowly, his words concise yet resounding.

"Hmm!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng could not help but exchange glances.

A trace of surprise flashed in their eyes; clearly, neither of them had expected Zhao Fusu to say such a thing.

In their understanding, since Zhao Fusu was currently occupying the position of leader, it would be logical for him to employ methods to suppress potential rivals like them in order to solidify his own position.

However, judging by the meaning of Zhao Fusu's words just now, it seemed he was not suppressing them at all, but rather encouraging them.

This filled Xiang Liang's heart with doubt; he truly could not understand the intention behind Zhao Fusu's actions.

After all, the more outstanding they performed, the greater the impact it would undoubtedly have on Zhao Fusu's leadership position.

Meanwhile, the First Emperor's gaze was fixed on Zhao Fusu like a hawk's, revealing a hint of inquiry in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through to the depths of Zhao Fusu's mind to see what unexpected move he was about to make.

Recalling the past, at the time of his faked death, Zhao Fusu had launched a military coup and seized control of the world with lightning-fast methods.

At that time, the First Emperor had fully expected Zhao Fusu to naturally ascend the throne and rule over the world.

He greatly admired this decisiveness in Zhao Fusu.

Back in the day, he had also seized the throne through force.

To the First Emperor, not designating a Crown Prince was because he hoped all of his twenty-plus sons would compete for the throne together.

Only the most capable one would be worthy of the Great Qin throne.

However, the development of events had greatly exceeded his expectations; Zhao Fusu had actually voluntarily given up the throne and handed it over.

When the First Emperor heard this news at the time, he only felt that his ears must have misheard.

What made the First Emperor's jaw drop even further was that Zhao Fusu not only gave the throne to Hu Hai—a fellow he viewed as a pig—but also bestowed upon himself the title of "Supreme Leader."

This series of maneuvers was like an absurd and bizarre dream, bringing an unprecedented shock to the First Emperor's worldview.

In the eyes of the First Emperor, given Zhao Fusu's lineage and strength, his ascension to the throne would have been legitimate and proper; he was fully qualified to sit in that supreme position.

Yet Zhao Fusu had made such an inconceivable choice, which truly made it hard for him to understand.

He mused to himself that if it had been him, he would have sat on the throne without hesitation, grasped power firmly, and ruled until the very last moment of his life.

In fact, throughout the long history of feudal dynasties, most emperors were like this; only when their lives were nearing the end and they knew there was no turning back would they reluctantly hand over the power in their hands to the Crown Prince.
