Li Xiaoman smiled and said, "But do you know how old Chen was when he retired at the peak of his career?"
"Not even fifty?"
"More accurately, he was just over forty. Chen has said that his peak period was too mythologized. If he didn't step down, it would be very difficult for those after him to truly rise. Once people have a little dependency, they tend always to look for others to solve their problems, or they always think that with Chen around, the sky won't fall.
"Until that day, when he announced his long-planned semi-retirement and stopped handling any group affairs, handing over all group powers to us, it gave us three years of rapid growth. Three years later, the group did not experience any major crisis, and we finally held up our own sky. Only then could we understand Chen's painstaking efforts and his unfathomable vision.
