Chapter: 6460

People were even more gloomy at this point, and Steve seemed to be giving up on them.

At this moment, Steve looked at Knight and said, "Of course, as your boss, it's not very bright for you to use such tactics to control your employees. From now on, I'll try my best to avoid it."

Knight was taken aback, and Steve's words seemed to be a scathing critique of his own behavior. "You're right, Mr. Rosenthal!" Knight exclaimed hastily. "I'll definitely pay more attention and not make such unglorious moves from now on!"

Steve nodded slightly, looking at him with a genuine smile. "Knight, I actually appreciate your capabilities. If you can expand your horizons, give yourself fewer restrictions, and not leave too many loopholes behind, you have unlimited potential in the American judicial and political spheres."

Knight's eyes widened in surprise and excitement. "Mr... Mr. Rosenthal... Do you really think so?"

Steve nodded again. "To be honest, many outstanding politicians in the United States are lawyers by profession. In this regard, you already possess a tremendous head start. Moreover, no one knows better how to utilize or destroy laws than lawyers, which is your trump card. Plus, you have achieved exceptional success in the legal field. Under such circumstances, why not look up and out instead of down?"

Knight asked cautiously, "Mr. Rosenthal, do you mean..."

Steve said, "I mean that you are clearly capable of seeking a broader future and a brighter tomorrow, but you're mistakenly focusing on your subordinates, on how to bind them like slaves, making them forever serve you. You're like a 19th-century plantation owner who keeps a gun pointed at his farmhands, preventing them from escaping. But you haven't thought about what would happen if you aimed that gun outside your estate - you could have immense opportunities to expand your farm, even tenfold or hundredfold."

Knight instantly grasped Steve's intention and looked embarrassed. "Mr. Rosenthal, you're right. I shouldn't limit my scope to these employees..."

Steve nodded again and continued, "As for this matter, I can give you the best solution. However, whether you'll accept it depends on your own judgment."

Knight eagerly exclaimed, "Mr. Rosenthal, please go ahead!"

Steve said, "These people are already distant from you. You think you still have a chance to win them over? It's better to let them do something else. Take your board members back to the United States and think carefully about how to climb up another level. As for these people, just leave them here in China to help me out a bit. It just so happens that I also need some lawyers' help here. In the future, you two can maintain a good relationship across the ocean, without bothering each other - what do you think?"

Steve didn't give Knight a chance to think deeply, and his mind was filled with Steve's suggestion of going up another level. The others finally let out a sigh of relief because Steve had finally started talking for them, wanting everyone to get along and not bother each other. This also meant that Knight couldn't take out evidence to reprimand them.

When Steve finished speaking, he looked at Knight and asked him, "Knight, how do you feel about my proposal?"

Then Knight said, "Mr. Rosenthal, since you've said that, I definitely have no opinion. Just let them stay here to help you, as long as they work hard for you, I won't bother them."

Steve nodded and said, "Since it's like that, we'll make a decision this way. I'll let Jimmy select ten people from inside, and these ten people will stay in Jinling to help me later. If their salary is inconvenient on your side, I'll take care of it."

As soon as Knight heard this, he hurriedly said, "No, no, Mr. Rosenthal, how can you bear the cost of their salary? Shouldn't I take care of it instead?"

After a while, Steve had developed an understanding with Ye Chen several times and realized the art of governing people in the East.

Sometimes, advancing is advancing, retreating is retreating, but sometimes, advancing is retreating, and retreating is advancing.

Just earlier, he had voluntarily proposed to take on the salaries for these people, which was a standard case of retreating as a means of advancing. He was just pretending with Knight, but Knight's request to bear all costs was genuinely intended.

At this moment, Knight's heart can be said to be extremely excited.

The reason was none other than Mr. Rockefeller's esteemed treatment towards him and his willingness to speak up for him, which had already won him over like a thunderbolt.

Not to mention that Rockefeller didn't understand the intricacies of Chinese social norms, but he was too good at flattery.

No one is better at flattery than the Rockefeller family; when they butter someone up, even the President of the United States would be moved. How much more so for just Knight Ellis?

Steve knew that Knight's ambition was not limited to being a top-ranked law firm in the entire country. JrNovels.com
