Before the New Year holiday, Su Tiantian was tricked into returning home by a 200,000 yuan promise. The village distributing land money was real, but the desire to trick her into coming home early ...
That afternoon, Su Tiantian felt like time was passing slowly, perhaps because she was eager to get home. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Assistant Li called to tell her to go to Mr. Lai's office. She was greeted by six gifts: from the three Lai sisters, Mrs. Lai, and Gu Yiyuan. One gift was surprisingly from Ms. Lin, the head office's business director. The first five gifts were within Su Tiantian's expectations, but the last was truly baffling.
Mr. Lai spread his hands and said, "I'm just helping to bring the gifts. I don't know the reason. You can call and thank Miss Lin. The other five people don't need to call. I'll convey the thanks."
Assistant Li showed Su Tiantian a screen on his phone. Su Tiantian saw that it was a report on the signing of Jingyang Logistics Park. She had seen it last night. Liu Zhaosheng, Liu Liangjie and Liu Jingze all attended the signing ceremony. In her eyes, Liu Jingze was the most handsome. He was wearing a well-ironed black suit and showing a decent smile as he faced the camera.
Mr. Lai said, "Congratulations, Mrs. Liu! Your husband is truly photogenic. The Jingyang Logistics Park project is a massive 230 million yuan investment, the largest investment project in Yanpu Town in recent years and the second-largest logistics park in Zongxiao City."
Su Tiantian said: "I checked the information from two years ago and found out that Dinghui Company was the largest investment project in Yanfu Town at that time. No investment project in the past two years has exceeded this amount. It covers an area of 180 mu and is now undergoing a second phase of expansion. The future is promising."
Mr. Lai said, "When we first invested, the Lai family didn't participate in this project. Now we're making additional investments, and the company's plans have changed. I sent you a message the day before yesterday, and I was very happy to receive your positive response. I'll discuss the specific work situation after you return from vacation, and Young Master Yuan will also talk to you in person then."
Su Tiantian said, "Thank you for the opportunity. I will go home after get off work this afternoon. Thank you, Mr. Lai, for taking the time to come to the wedding. See you on Sunday."
Mr. Lai said, “See you on Sunday.”
Su Tiantian received a message from Liu Jingze in the morning, saying that Jiang Sihui and bodyguard Azhi would come to the company to pick her up after get off work. Her luggage had been prepared last night and had been brought to the company when she went to work today. When she got off work, she could just take her luggage to the company gate and get in the car.
Su Tiantian was discussing the exhibition with Bai Rongchang: "Will you still be in charge of this year's exhibition?"
Bai Rongchang said, "This is the tentative plan. We're booking booths now, three this year, and we won't be exhibiting until June. I'm not sure what changes will happen at work by then, after all, we haven't even decided who the new general manager will be."
Su Tiantian said, "Brother Rong, when we participated in the exhibition last year, we designed and built the booth for Langtian Advertising. If possible, could you give them more opportunities? Zhang Xiuli from their company, whom you met last year, is the wife of Brother Jing's friend. However, Brother Jing has actually been at odds with her husband recently, but we are still friends. She is a good person and does things well."
Bai Rongchang said: "If I were in charge, I would ask them to make a plan and quote a price. They did a good job last year."
Su Tiantian said, "Thank you, Brother Rong. She will also be there on the wedding day. I guess she will deal with you and Vice President Xu then."
Bai Rongchang said, "I understand. We'll be off work in half an hour. Happy Mrs. Liu! Mr. Liu will be here soon, right?"
Su Tiantian said: "He is not coming today. We have a custom where the man and woman cannot see each other three days before the wedding. He sent someone to pick me up."
Bai Rongchang said, "It's true that every village has its own rules. You don't accept red envelopes. Assistant Li said the amount of red envelopes depends on your feelings. He said you said you don't accept gifts."
Su Tiantian said, "Relatives do accept gifts, but the amount isn't much. It's a matter of reciprocity. Friends generally don't accept gifts. This is the custom in our village, so my mother said marrying off a daughter would be a loss. The gift isn't much, but the banquet alone is quite a lot. In addition to the wedding day, we also have to set up several tables the day before, the second and third days. We have a saying here, which is to eat for four days, but these are only for close relatives."
Bai Rongchang said, "That banquet will cost quite a bit."
The phone on the desk rang, and Su Tiantian answered it: "Hello, this is Su Tiantian."
"Hello, Assistant Li, what can I do for you?"
"Okay, I'll be there now."
After hanging up the phone, Su Tiantian said with a puzzled look on her face, "Assistant Li said that President Lai asked me to go to the reception room immediately and entertain a guest with Vice President Xu. I wonder who the guest is?"
Bai Rongchang said, "Hurry up and go. You can't leave work until you have dealt with the matter."
Su Tiantian hurried to the reception room. There were several people who looked like bodyguards at the door. Secretary Fan, Vice President Xu's newly hired secretary, was also at the door. Seeing Su Tiantian, she was surprised and said, "Manager Su, you're here. Please come in."
