Chen Jingwen looked at the bouquet of sunflowers, jasmine, and lavender that Su Tiantian had placed on the table, then at the champagne roses in the vase, and said, "Su Tiantian is so lucky to have received two bouquets of flowers in one day. But both of them are a bit small."

Su Tiantian said calmly, "The size of the bouquet has nothing to do with you. Just report on your work first."

Chen Jingwen sat down at her desk and, after reporting her work, was reluctant to leave Su Tiantian's office. She rested her chin on the desk with her right hand, her big eyes full of envy: "Manager Su, what does your fiancé do for a living? He's so handsome."

Su Tiantian said: "Don't talk about personal matters during working hours."

Chen Jingwen blinked her eyes and said, "I'm just curious. Many girls in the company envy Manager Su. Manager Su, you're such a nice person. Tell me."

Su Tiantian chuckled, as if mocking him: "If you say so, then I'm not a good person if I don't tell you? You should go out first. I still have a lot of work to deal with."

Chen Jingwen's expression gradually became gloomy, and she left the office unwillingly.

During these three days, Su Tiantian was busy handing over work. When she returned to the apartment at night, she would send messages to Liu Jingze and chat. Their relationship was getting better and better, and they finally understood what it meant to miss each other so much after just one day.

The day before the Lantern Festival, at four o'clock in the afternoon, there was still an hour before getting off work. Many people's minds were not on work. Valentine's Day was coming, and although the company was not giving a holiday, it still couldn't stop everyone from being happy.

Liu Jingze texted Su Tiantian that he was on his way to her office and that she could see him after get off work. Su Tiantian had already packed her luggage and brought it to work, having already handed over all her work that morning. Then Assistant Li called: "Good afternoon, Su Tiantian. Please come to Mr. Lai's office for a meeting."

After entering Mr. Lai's office, Su Tiantian felt the atmosphere was a bit tense. Deputy Xu, who usually loved to smile, had a stern face. Mr. Lai said, "Manager Su, please come and sit down."

After Su Tiantian sat down, Vice President Xu handed her a document. After opening it, Su Tiantian asked, "We used to be responsible for this client. Why did you give it to Dingxing Company this time?"

Mr. Lai said, "It was Mr. Luo from Dingxing Company who snatched it away. The head office said it didn't matter which company did it, they were all ours, but Dingxing's costs were lower than ours."

Bai Rongchang was a little annoyed. "This is really not comparable. You have to know that due to geographical location, the salary levels of our two companies are not the same. When the head office opened Dingxing Company, wasn't it because the land price there was lower, so the salary was also lower?"

Vice President Xu said, "I estimate that more and more customers will transfer their business there in the future. Then our sales department will have fewer orders, our production department will have fewer orders, and everyone's salary will be reduced."

Mr. Lai said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Dingxing's factory area is much larger than ours. We used to have preferential policies here, and our proximity to the port gave us certain advantages. We also have an advantage in R&D personnel."

Bai Rongchang said, "Then what should we do? Without the orders transferred from the head office, our sales and production figures will definitely be low, and our business commissions and the salaries of the production department employees will also be less." At this point, the atmosphere in the office became a little cold.

Mr. Lai stroked his chin and said hesitantly, "If I am transferred, will you follow me?"

Vice President Xu and Bai Rongchang remained silent. They hesitated, but Su Tiantian's eyes were calm. "Boss Lai, it depends on the salary. Dingyao is in a first-tier city, and Dingxing is in a second-tier city. The difference in employee benefits is huge. What will the salary be for those transferred there?"

Mr. Lai leaned back in his large office chair and spoke with resignation, "I may not be transferred to Dingxing Company. The most likely option is to transfer to Dinghui Company."

"Dinghui Company?" Even Assistant Li, who was sitting next to Mr. Lai and had little presence, was shocked. It was the first time he heard of it, and his expression was full of surprise.

Mr. Lai said, "Dinghui Company is in Yanfu Town, Zongxiao City. It's probably not far from Manager Su's home. The office building and factory area are larger than Dingxing Company's. I heard the labor costs there are lower. We're preparing to apply for a business license and have tentatively decided on the name Dinghui."

Vice President Xu stared at President Lai intently, his voice slightly apprehensive, "President Lai, why haven't I heard any news about this before?"

Mr. Lai said, "Dingwei's major shareholder isn't our Lai family, it's the He family. He Yiyuan, the young master of the He family, came here for an internship last year. You all met him."

Bai Rongchang said, "Mr. He's investment is quite large. Is his business scope similar to ours?"

Su Tiantian said, "This seems like a bit of competition among peers, right?"

Mr. Lai said, "I don't want to argue, so we have to cooperate. We agreed this morning that my eldest sister will take a 30% stake. I'm telling you this news first. If there are any new arrangements, I'll let you know. It doesn't matter whether you come with me or not. Don't tell anyone. If you're willing to go, you can negotiate the salary and benefits first. I haven't seen the conditions there yet, but it's definitely not as prosperous as here."

The other four people in the office all said, "Understood."

Mr. Lai said solemnly, "Tiantian, the newly established company is in your hometown. If you are interested, you can consider it. I won't force you three. After all, men and women may have different work positions and ideas."

Su Tiantian said, "Thank you, Mr. Lai. Do you have the specific location of Dinghui Company? Can I know it?"

Mr. Lai said, "I'll post it in our group chat later. The office building and factory were completed at the end of last year. I heard they're also trying to buy some surrounding land for expansion. The He family's business scope is wider than ours."

Bai Rongchang asked, "Will Young Master Yuan of the He family come to work there?"

Mr. Lai said, "I don't know either. Mr. He only has this one son, so he might not necessarily be assigned to such a faraway place. Actually, there's a high chance I'll be transferred. Another question is, who will be the general manager after I'm transferred? I told my eldest sister that if they really want to transfer me, she'd recommend you, Old Xu, for the job, but she said she can't guarantee that and can only do her best."

Vice President Xu was extremely anxious when he heard this: "Mr. Lai, thank you for recommending me. I am extremely grateful for your willingness to give me this opportunity."

Mr. Lai said, "Of course I hope you take over, but my own future is uncertain. My eldest sister said that if I go to Dinghui Company, my position may not be general manager, which is a demotion."

Vice President Xu said, "What about Vice President Huang?"

Mr. Lai said confidently, "Vice President Huang will not be the general manager. I can guarantee that. I'm just worried that the head office will send someone over."

Assistant Li's expression hardened, and he seemed to have made up his mind. He said, "Boss Lai, I want to follow you wherever you go, but the salary and benefits can't be worse than here."

Mr. Lai said, "Okay, I'll do my best to get it for you then."

Bai Rongchang said, "Will the He family let their people be the general manager?"

Mr. Lai nodded: "The He family owns 53% of the shares, so the decision-making power lies with the He family. Anyway, if there is any latest news, I will inform you, or you can find out for yourself."

Su Tiantian said, "Who are you asking, Master Yuan? What are you guys looking at me for? Why are you making me feel scared?"
