A major frustration with this novel is the MC's excessive dependence on the Li Family. While using them as an initial stepping stone – like selling the distribution of the t-virus and setting up an offshore company – makes sense, the reliance never stops and it gets ridiculous when he keeps relying on them for EVERYTHING—hiring employees, buying buildings, even market research. Why?!
Here’s the problem: HIRE YOUR OWN DAMN PEOPLE. MC posts job ads but when applicants responded, the MC acts clueless about what to do next. How hard is it to recruit a competent and top-tier assistant first? Someone with industry connections, experience, and loyalty to him to handle the stuff he doesn’t understand. . Instead, the MC hires this girl, his inexperienced classmate from the Li Family as an assistant. Really? Her only qualification is... what, working for the Li Family's company because she is the DAUGHTER of Li Family??
