Chen Rou first meets Nie Zhao because of an anti-terrorism case involving Hong Kong's wealthy elite. He is the richest man in Hong Kong for many years, and a renowned powerful figure. Even thou...
Nie Zhao paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "Mrs. Dai manages the hotel exceptionally well."
Mrs. Dai is the head of all the star-rated hotels under the Nie family, and she was also promoted by Han Yuzhu.
She is currently the only woman on the board of directors, and also a woman that even Liang Lisheng fears.
She had a husband who had passed away, and two adopted sons, a son and a daughter, but severed all ties with them after they came of age. She was known for being difficult to deal with at Nie's company, and Nie Zhao was often given the cold shoulder by her.
But in fact, all things considered, she is the most reliable and trustworthy among all the directors.
Therefore, although the Nie family was male-dominated, Nie Zhao was also accustomed to using men in his work.
Overall, however, women actually outperform men in management positions.
Just like Liang Lisheng and Mrs. Dai, when Nie Zhao asked them to do the same thing at the same time.
If Liang Lisheng does it, he has to worry about 50% of the work; but if Mrs. Dai does it, he only needs to worry about 10%.
Of course, if Chen Rou were to make the suggestion to Nie Rong, he would only say one thing: don't even think about it.
But Boss Nie is not only capable of maintaining the status quo, but also of expanding the Nie family's billion-dollar business to a hundred-billion-dollar one. The moment Chen Rou mentioned Nie Han, and the moment he saw Nie Han, he agreed to the matter.
He turned to look at Song Yuanchao: "Give Uncle Ming a call and tell the kids to wait for me at the breakfast table at 7:30 tomorrow morning. I need to hold a meeting with them and announce a resolution."
Song Yuanchao stood at attention: "Yes, sir."
But Nie Zhao looked at him and suddenly frowned: "What about the things I asked you to do? Why haven't you done them yet?"
Song Yuanchao glanced at Chen Rou, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "I've been busy these past few days, I'll go tomorrow."
It seems there must be something that made him unhappy, but he had no choice but to do it.
Nie Zhao turned to his wife with a smile: "The meal was pretty good today, wasn't it?"
Chen Rou said, "Everything else is fine, but it's just that it's cooked in a small pot, and there's not enough oil."
Boss Nie frowned: "Is it because it doesn't taste good?"
Although Chen Rou grew up in the south, she had been to military posts all over the country and her favorite food was Sichuan cuisine. Of course, she had studied it. She picked up a piece of spicy chicken and said, "Try it."
Since his wife fed him, Mr. Nie naturally had to eat.
In his opinion, this dish was like a bomb, exploding on his tongue; besides the spiciness, he couldn't taste anything else.
But Chen Rou said, "Its skin should be crispier and the meat should be more tender, but that would only happen if we kept getting more and more menus coming in, the kitchen was on high heat, and the oil was sizzling. Next time, let's not book the whole place. Sichuan cuisine is best enjoyed together."
The owner would definitely be happy to book the entire Sichuan restaurant; for the same amount of money, you only need to serve one table of people.
However, without intense heat and meticulous stir-frying in a small wok, the flavor of Sichuan cuisine would be lost.
Nie Zhao didn't want to book the whole place, but if he didn't, there were no private rooms, it was just a roadside stall, and if he ate there, he would be surrounded by a large crowd. What could he do?
Okay, just as he was feeling a little unhappy that his efforts to please his wife hadn't quite succeeded, his wife hooked his leg under the table and winked: "You're not... Come on, let's go home."
Why did Boss Nie like this woman and try to please her? He often asked himself this question. The answer was her free-spiritedness and straightforwardness. She never hid her desires and would get whatever she wanted. How could that not be considered a virtue?
...
Now, Mr. Nie was filled with passion. Just thinking about his wife sitting in the boss's chair, pointing at his tie, made him even more eager. Tonight, he was determined to take the lead and be the master.
He did indeed do it. Tonight was the first time that Mrs. Nie actually asked him halfway through if he could be a little gentler.
For others, those words might be easy to hear, but Mr. Nie had been married for so long and only heard his wife say them today. He softened his movements and felt immense satisfaction.
It's like taking an exam; on a 100-point test, he finally got 60 points, which is considered passing.
By the way, although he was really into it at the time, Mr. Nie only ate two bites of chili peppers as a symbolic gesture. But after finishing the business that night, he felt a burning sensation on his buttocks and knew something was wrong. When he woke up the next morning, it was a nightmare. His hemorrhoids had relapsed because of the chili peppers.
However, he couldn't ask Kuangzai to help him get his medicine right away, because he got up a little late today. It was already 7:20. Nie Han had already arrived at the restaurant, and Nie Jiayu and Nie Jiajun were also running around in the corridor with heavy footsteps.
He should go to a meeting with some children.
Nie Han never imagined that one day she, an outsider, would become the No. 3 in the family. At this moment, she was chatting with Chen Rou about the upcoming Spring Festival, about sending gifts to various relatives and about returning gifts. Although Uncle Ming and the male servants were responsible for purchasing everything, Nie Han remembered that Mei Lu would write a greeting card by hand when sending gifts to each family. She was considering whether Chen Rou should write one as well.
If not, then she should write it for him.
Chen Rou was also thinking about this issue, because the situation would eventually stabilize, and she wouldn't need to focus all her attention on Nie Zhao's safety in the future. Although she didn't want to, since she lived in this house and was Han Yuzhu's daughter-in-law, even if she hadn't used the money, she was managing it and had to do what Han Yuzhu should do.
But does she need to lower herself to please others like Mei Lu?
The answer is, of course, no.
