Chapter 627 Invitation
One o’clock in the afternoon.
Zhongcheng Group Headquarters Building, Food and Beverage Division.
Ding Furong hummed a song, holding a cup of Luckin coffee in his hand, and walked briskly into the semi-open office in the corner.
He warmly put the coffee on the table and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, the raw coconut latte you want is hot."
"Well, put it there."
Gao Junfeng did not raise his head, still staring at the data report on the computer screen intently, his tone was calm.
Ding Furong didn't care, and quickly returned to his work station, tore open a pack of instant three-in-one, and made himself a cup of coffee.
Then he leaned happily on the ergonomic chair and started to watch short videos.
Zhongcheng Group is not particularly strict in management, especially for their sales-oriented positions. As long as they can get customers, their daily work status is relatively free.
What’s more, he has the big tree of Gao Junfeng behind him, so he has a promising future.
Thinking of this, Ding Furong felt more and more comfortable.
It’s approaching two o’clock in the afternoon.
“Ding dong one by one” the notification on Enterprise WeChat rang.
[HRBP-Li Xin: "Ding Furong, please come to the conference room 3 on the 6th floor now. We have something to communicate."]
Seeing this news, Ding Furong's heart skipped a beat. What is this going to do? Is there any contract that has not been signed?
He adjusted his collar and knocked on the door of the conference room with a sense of ambition and expectation.
What catches the eye is the face of HRBP Li Xin who always has a professional smile.
After a brief greeting, Ding Furong sat down carefully: "Sister Li, what do you want from me?"
Li Xin looked at him, without any extra foreshadowing, and went straight to the point: "Ding Furong, after the evaluation of the business department and your direct leadership, we believe that there is a big gap between your comprehensive ability and the job requirements of our channel business specialist. So I am sorry to inform you that you have failed to pass this probation period."
The smile on Ding Furong's face solidified instantly, and a chill came from the soles of his feet.
"How is this possible?! Sister Li, are you mistaken? "This is a decision made by the company after comprehensive consideration." Li Xin's tone was unequivocal, "You can submit your resignation application here. We will provide relevant severance compensation in accordance with the labor law -"
A few minutes.
Ding Furong walked out of the conference room in a daze, his mind filled with confusion.
Immediately, he seemed to have remembered something and rushed towards Gao Junfeng's office.
There was no one inside, and "big backer" Gao Junfeng was not there.
Ding Furong immediately took out his cell phone and dialed.
“Beep beep—” The phone rang twice and then was hung up.
If I call again, there will be no answer.
Ding Furong was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and paced back and forth in the small office area.
I waited anxiously for more than ten minutes.
Gao Junfeng’s figure finally appeared outside the office door.
His face was pale, he walked unsteadily, and his overall condition was worse than Ding Furong.
However, Ding Furong did not notice these details and immediately greeted them.
He said in a hurried voice: "Brother Feng! Something happened! I just received a notice from HR saying that I failed my probation period and was laid off! Please help me quickly. Before he could finish his words, Gao Junfeng suddenly turned his head and interrupted in a hoarse voice: "Shut up!"
Ding Furong was startled by his appearance, and his aura instantly weakened, but he still said soft words without giving up: "I'm sorry, Brother Feng, I was too anxious. Mainly because you know that I finally got into the middle school. Cheng, you—you have to help me—""
Gao Junfeng took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Help you, I'm going to get out myself!"
"What?" Ding Furong's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "You were laid off too?"
Gao Junfeng clenched his fists, his face full of humiliation and anger And blushing, "I just received the notice that all work handovers must be completed within this week."
When he heard that Ding Furong had also been laid off, he had already vaguely guessed the reason.
It’s definitely because of Zhang Lei.
He never thought that such a trivial matter would become such a big deal.
The 26-year-old assistant to the vice president of the group has a certain right to make personnel recommendations and has a bright future.
He originally thought that his life had just begun to take off.
But now all this has become a joke.
Both Su Ping and Qin Hua have completely changed their faces now.
Ding Furong's expression changed for a moment, and then he immediately thought of something more important, "Junfeng, should you pay me back the 20,000 yuan in benefits you collected from me before?"
Gao Junfeng said angrily: "I have already completed your onboarding for you, and I have done everything I promised you, and you still ask me for money?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Furong's face turned completely cold.
Step forward and grab Gao Junfeng’s arm.
"Fengzi, don't even think about defaulting on the debt! If you don't return this money to me, neither of us will be able to live well!"
TC Private Club.
After finishing the full-body essential oil SPA, Xie Shuyu put on a soft silk bathrobe and went to the tea break area nearby.
Next to the exquisite bone china tea set, freshly cut fruits and low-calorie yogurt mousse are placed.
Just sat down on the sofa.
"Ding-ding-ding-" The phone's ringtone suddenly rang.
[Meng Ran]
After answering the phone, Xie Shuyu said softly: "Hey, Ranran, what's wrong?"
"Shu Yu, are you disturbing your rest? There is good news, I must be the first to inform you." From the other end of the phone, Meng Ran's capable and excited voice came.
“Oh? What’s the matter?”
"Weren't you always having a headache, with the national expansion of Shimmer Coffee, how difficult is it to secure high-quality cold chain dairy suppliers in the Southwest?" Meng Ran didn't give in, and went straight to the point, "At the end of the month, our Southwest Business Department of China Business News, together with other institutions, will hold a closed-door private meeting in Chengdu. I just got the final invitation list, and the group vice presidents of New Hope and Jule, two southwest dairy giants, will personally lead the team here. 》
After hanging up the phone, Xie Shuyu’s fingertips tapped lightly on the smooth phone screen, with a sharp light shining in his eyes.
[Shimmer Coffee] Most of the current stores are mainly concentrated in North China with Yancheng as the core.
In first-tier cities like Imperial Capital and Magic Capital, they only strategically set up signature flagship stores to establish their brand image and did not carry out large-scale expansion.
After detailed market research and data analysis, she targeted the southwest region as the next strategic location for cluster expansion.
The southwest region, especially Sichuan Province and Yunnan Province, is one of the highest quality dairy and coffee bean producing areas in China.
Her plan is to use Chengdu as the core base to intensively open at least 20 stores covering three different types: Youxiang, Cache, and flagship stores.
Radiating to surrounding core cities such as Jiangcheng and Spring City.
Moreover, [Shimmer Coffee] is about to reach an in-depth strategic cooperation with the top coffee supplier in Yun Province under Smile Holdings.
This major benefit has further strengthened her determination to delve into the southwest.
At this moment, Zhao Yaqian and Zhang Yurong, who had also changed into bathrobes, came over with a smile.
Xie Shuyu quickly restrained her exposed edge and returned to her elegant and calm posture.
The three of them were leaning on the sofa leisurely, chatting about anecdotes from all over the world.
Of course, Xie Shuyu and Zhang Yurong were mainly chatting.
After a harmonious lunch and a SPA together, the atmosphere became more harmonious and intimate than ever before.
After taking a sip of soothing chamomile tea, Zhao Yaqian seemed to suddenly remember something.
He tilted his head and said to Xie Shuyu: "By the way, Sister Shuyu, I just remembered that I seem to have a friend who works at your Shimmer Coffee.
But she is part-time."
"Oh? Who is it?" A trace of real surprise flashed in Xie Shuyu's eyes.
I didn’t expect that a woman like Zhao Yaqian would actually know a part-time employee of their company.
"Qian Lele, a student of Yancheng Normal University, I wonder if I know Sister Shuyu."
"Lele?" Xie Shuyu raised his eyebrows, with a bright smile on his face, " She is indeed a part-time front-end developer in our company,
The world is really small, I didn’t expect you to know each other.
"Actually, I used to be a regular customer of your Shimmer Coffee, and I especially like the baked cakes made by Lele." Zhao Yaqian smiled with crooked eyebrows. "I got to know her as soon as we went back and forth. I heard her say that your Shimmer Coffee has now built its own central kitchen, just outside the East Second Ring Road in Yancheng, right?"
"Yeah." When it comes to her career, Xie Shuyu's eyes instantly became bright and focused, "The production just started last month, mainly to ensure the standardization of the quality of baked and light snack products, and to better control costs.
Now in all our stores in Yancheng, including new branches throughout North China, the core products will be uniformly produced and distributed by the central kitchen."
After listening to her explanation, Zhao Yaqian rubbed her hands nervously and organized her words.
Turned to Zhang Yurong and said: "Sister Yurong, haven't we at Yisha Beauty always had an afternoon tea business? But the supplier we cooperate with feels that the taste is just average.
“Since Sister Shuyu has a ready-made central kitchen with such high quality, why don’t we cooperate with Shimmer Coffee?” After hearing her words, Xie Shuyu sat up straight and her eyes brightened.
"Qianqian's suggestion is great! To be honest, Yurong, I have always had this idea, but I just haven't figured out how to say it yet.
Our shimmering central kitchen can specially customize a set of healthy, low-calorie "beauty theme" afternoon tea for Yisha Beauty, ensuring the exclusivity and high-end quality." The plan is to expand the business from simple store retail to toB enterprise customization and supply chain output.
But this plan is still imaginary, and it will take a long time to persuade a smart businessman like Zhang Yurong to cooperate.
Zhao Yaqian’s move is a timely help.
Isa Beauty is the most high-end chain of beauty clubs in Yancheng. Now it has invested heavily in medical beauty projects. Its brand value and customer spending power are impeccable.
Is her ideal first "model customer"!
Zhang Yurong’s eyes flickered on the two people’s faces, her expression was slightly awkward, but it was quickly replaced by a hearty smile: "Qianqian, if you think it’s okay, then I definitely have no objection!"
At present, the cooperative supplier of Isa Beauty is her nephew.
But Zhao Yaqian spoke in person, so she definitely couldn’t refute the opponent’s face.
"That's great!" Xie Shuyu stood up excitedly, "I will contact the person in charge of the central kitchen now and ask them to come up with a product list and cooperation plan immediately. Let's finalize this matter as soon as possible!"
After saying that, he nodded to the two of them, got up and left directly.
Looking at this high-spirited and resolute female CEO, Zhao Yaqian felt envious in her heart.
In fact, this proposal was actually given to her by Xiaoxue last night.
According to Xiaoxue, this is called "interest bundling." She also said that President Xie is very powerful and a truly self-made strong woman.
There are many places where she can complement her and help her in the future.
Zhao Yaqian was confused at the time, but now she gradually understands.
“Buzz buzz—” The phone suddenly vibrated.
[Xiaoxue: "Qianqian, how is it?"]
Zhao Yaqian quickly typed a reply: "It went very well, we are now friends, and then the cooperation has been finalized."
[Xiaoxue: "Well, that's good. By the way, there's one more thing. How about you come and stay at my place tomorrow night?"]
Zhao Yaqian: "(.) Okay, I'm following Bei Yuwei's new drama recently. It's super good. Let's watch it together."
[Xiaoxue: "Well, you can do it anytime after you watch the show. I'm going to London soon, and I have to leave for a while. What I mean is, let's drink, chat and play games with Tang and Song."]
Seeing this news, Zhao Yaqian's cheeks turned red instantly.
She guiltily turned down the phone screen and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Yurong not far away.
He bit his lip and then secretly replied with a 0K emoticon.
The heartbeat couldn’t stop but began to accelerate.
The 19-year-old beautician’s hormones were at their peak.
For her, she was both nervous and full of unspeakable expectations.
Block A of Yan Provincial Financial Center, accommodating capital flow.
Lin Muxue leaned on Herman Miller's office chair, her slender legs unconsciously pinched.
Exit the chat interface.
I took a look at the schedule.
There are only 3 days left before she leaves for London.
November 16th, which is this Thursday.
She will officially start her "Golden Journey to Imperial College".
Thinking of this, she became more and more excited.
Anne Kate’s generous “Ocean Horse” had boldly stated when they last met that she would lend her her own Gulfstream G650ER private jet and arrange an ultra-high-standard private reception throughout.
That was the handiwork of the Kate family, and the scene was absolutely shocking, enough to make the rich second-generation friends who were traveling with her speechless.
This is awesome!
And she can also take the opportunity to go through the entire international travel process.
After all, she is Tang Song's personal assistant. When she helps Tang Song plan her itinerary in the future, she will appear more calm and professional.
Of course, Anne Kate’s generosity comes at a “price.”
That is the event tomorrow night carefully planned by the other party.
“Dong-dong-dong-”
A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
Lin Muxue quickly sat up and said in a clear voice: "Please come in."
The door of the office was pushed open, and Shen Yuyan walked in with elegant steps, holding the folder.
"Luna." With a perfect professional smile on her face, she gently placed a document on Lin Muxue's desk, "This is Mr. Tang's final investment agreement document for the future of Smart Chain. Please take a look."
She didn't want to come either, but Lin Muxue was her nominal superior, and the "general assistant" was very motivated recently.
Required that all the documents she submitted to the Tang and Song Dynasties must go through her first and give her a copy at the same time.
Lin Muxue glanced at the document and said casually: "I know, let's leave it here."
Her tone was neither light nor serious, with a sense of casualness from a superior to a subordinate.
Shen Yuyan did not leave immediately.
She adjusted her clothes slowly, and said in a concerned tone with a smile:
"I heard that you are flying to London this Thursday, and will be there for several days. Don't worry, you won't be there. I will take good care of Mr. Tang during this period. I will help him plan all his schedules in advance. Just go and enjoy your rare vacation."
Lin Muxue's eyes twitched as she heard the hint in the other person's words.
He chuckled and said, "Then it will be hard on you, Shirley. But when I go to London this time, in addition to attending the alumni association, I also have many work matters that I have to report to Mr. Tang in real time. The adjective "holiday" you use is too inaccurate." 》
Shen Yuyan’s smile did not change and she said, "Oh? What kind of work is it? Do you need me to help you with some preliminary information sorting? After all, having one more person can make it easier for you."
"No need, these are all internal secrets."
"Haha, okay, then I won't bother you. By the way, I have already agreed with Mr. Tang that we will inspect the two tomorrow. Investment project,
“So I won’t come to the company tomorrow”
Lin Muxue chuckled, picked up the pen on the table, and pointed. Jian made a circle gracefully and said, "Okay, I understand. I have an appointment with Mr. Tang tomorrow night, and we will most likely have dinner at my house. Remember to report Mr. Tang's itinerary to me at any time. I have to prepare it in advance."
The smile on Shen Yuyan's face froze slightly, but she soon adjusted it.
“Okay, no problem.”
Return to your workstation.
Lower your head, take a deep breath, there is always a breath of air holding in your heart.
Shen Yuyan lowered her head, looked at the delicate face reflected on the computer screen, took a deep breath, and exhaled forcefully.
But there was always a feeling of depression lingering in her heart, which made her feel depressed.
She thought of the warmth in Yangcheng, Tian Jing, Lin Muxue, and even Qingqing.
Since when did you start to care so much about it, or even be jealous of it?
It probably started after kissing him that night in Hong Kong, under the bright lights of Victoria Harbor.
After all, this was her first kiss, and it was also the first time she had such strong throbbing towards the opposite sex.
But could this be considered love?
Shen Yuyan smiled mockingly and put away his pretentious self-pity.
Night shrouds the magical city.
No. 1 Courtyard on the Bund.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the Huangpu River flows quietly like a dark silk satin.
“So what is Tang and Song’s final opinion on Su Yu’s entry into the family office?”
Ouyang Xianyue was wearing a simple white cashmere home suit and holding a cup of warm Rooibos tea in his hand.
The smooth and medium-short hair is scattered freely, with an elegant and noble posture.
She did not wear makeup, her skin was still firm and delicate, and there seemed to be no traces of time on her face.
In Mo Xiangwan’s mind, he recalled the conversation with Tang Song on the terrace.
With a slightly unnatural expression on his face, he said, "Mr. Tang said that I can join in first."
"Oh, haha." Ouyang Xianyue let out an almost inaudible chuckle, and gently rubbed the glaze of the warm tea cup with her slender fingertips, "Zhi is still so smart. It seems that Zhi really cares about Miss Smile's opinion."
"Well, the importance of Director Jin to Mr. Tang is beyond question)."
Ouyang Xianyue looked at her and suddenly said: "Besides, you should be very happy to hear Pei say that."
Mo Xiangwan's eyes twitched and he lowered his head to take a sip of tea to hide his emotions.
One of the core purposes of her visit to Tian Jing's birthday party this time was to test the attitude of Tang and Song Dynasties.
However, the final result was beyond her expectation, and at the same time, it also filled her heart with unprecedented joy and complex emotions.
Since 2019, under the leadership of her Tang Zong Yuheng, this seemingly huge and glamorous Yuheng empire, Yuan has almost no real sense of existence in the entire "Tang Jin System".
No matter how hard she and Su Yu worked, what they finally created was only a market value of more than 80 billion.
Not to mention compared with companies such as Tangyi Precision and Jingwu Capital, even against Guyu Biological and Meigou Technology, it is dozens of times worse.
Therefore, as the "alchemy man" used to train Su Yu in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
She never expected that one day she would really be able to enter the "family office" that represents the highest power.
Her biggest purpose in going there this time was actually to help Su Yu win.
It is conceivable that by some mistake, this position actually fell on him.
Moreover, Wu Kezhi and others also knew about this matter, which means that she had actually obtained the promise of Tang and Song Dynasties.
This is undoubtedly the highest personal recognition of her in the Tang and Song Dynasties.
However, in this way, she felt very sorry for Su Yu in her heart.
Mo Xiangwan raised his head and said, "Mr. Tang has already asked to attend the shareholder meeting of Smile Holdings. What should we do next?"
Ouyang Xianyue put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up slowly, and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Looking at the bright night outside the window, he said slowly: "My grandfather is in the hospital. He may not survive this winter. I really want to see Tang and Song again. I plan to invite him to accompany me to Chengdu at the end of the month. Do you think he will agree?"
Mo Xiangwan was busy with the certificate and was about to say some words of comfort.
Ouyang Xianyue suddenly turned around, shook his head and chuckled: "π I don’t know if Jin Xiaoxiao will think that I want to steal a man from her after knowing this."
