Chapter 87 Company Manager Gu Yurou

The girl's naturally beautiful face possessed an indescribable elegance, and her beautiful eyes sparkled with the slight trembling of her eyelashes, adding a touch of alluring charm to her delicate features.

It's easy to tell from her appearance that she is a woman with abundant talent.

Li Churan stood up and smiled, "Old classmate, you two are late. Tell me, how should you be punished?"

"How you punish my old classmate is up to you." Dong Qing paused for a moment and said, "But I must remind you, don't address her as 'old classmate' indiscriminately. You may not know, but Yu Zhu and I have been divorced for over two months. She is now just a business partner of mine."

Li Churan genuinely didn't know that Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu had divorced. After the divorce, the other party was quite careful about what they said, and if she had known, she definitely wouldn't have said that.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know you were getting a divorce!" Li Churan paused for a moment and said, "Getting back to the point, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Gu Yurou."

"Hello, my name is Dong Qing, and this is my ex-wife, Li Yuzhu. I'm sorry we're late."

Gu Yurou smiled and said, "It's alright, don't listen to my cousin's nonsense, we just arrived."

After they sat down, Gu Yurou took out her resume from her bag and handed it to Dong Qing, saying, "Let's get back to the main topic. Here is my resume, take a look!"

Gu Yurou, female, Han nationality, born on February 23, 1959, entered Shanghai University of Finance and Economics in 1978...

After reviewing the resume, Dong Qing handed it to Chen Yuzhu and asked, "Your resume clearly states that you will be working at a bank after graduation. Banking is a very good career. Why do you want to work for a private company?"

Gu Yurou said, "I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll just say it directly."

First, my family is not well-off, and my parents are in poor health, requiring a lot of medical expenses.

The bank's salary is low, only a few dozen yuan a month, which is not enough to support my family.

Secondly, I am a newcomer, and the bank is a place full of talented people, making it difficult to showcase my abilities.

Third; perhaps your company is where I can utilize my talents. Are you satisfied with my answer?

Gu Yurou is straightforward and exudes a woman's composure and maturity. Dong Qing said, "I greatly admire your honesty in what you just said. If your talent is sufficient to qualify you for the position of manager in my company, with a monthly salary of three thousand yuan, it will be enough to solve your family's immediate financial problems and relieve your worries."

Dong Qing's salary was indeed very attractive; no girl could refuse it. Gu Yurou asked, "My cousin told me that your company hasn't been officially established yet. Could you tell me about your company's future development prospects?"

Dong Qing said, "I don't need to tell you about the current situation of our company. I believe your cousin Chu Ran has already told you. You should know some of the later developments. Two months ago, I bought 1,000 acres of land in Sucun. The first phase of the project is to build a large-scale department store wholesale market, street-front shops, and office buildings. I will tell you more about the second and third phases after you take office."

Gu Yurou said, "I can only say that your company's development prospects and salary are very attractive. Of course, I am no exception. I am willing to work for your company. The probation period is one year. If you think it is feasible after one year, I will stay. If not, I will leave."

Gu Yurou may seem gentle, but she is decisive and efficient in her actions and words, never dragging things out. This is what Dong Qing admires about her; a company manager should have this kind of boldness.

Dong Qing asked, "Yu Zhu, what do you think?"

If Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu were husband and wife, he wouldn't need to ask for her opinion. But at most, they are business partners, and she has a share in the business, so decisions must be made with her consent.

"I have no objection. If you think it's okay, then sign the contract!"

After Li Yuzhu finished speaking, she took out a contract from her bag and handed it to Dong Qing. Dong Qing took the contract and placed it on the table in front of Gu Yurou. He said, "This is our printed employment contract. Take a look at it. If there are no problems, sign it. After signing the contract, you will be the manager of my company."

After reading the contract, Gu Yurou picked up a pen and signed her name on it.

Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu then wanted to sign their names.

After signing the contract, Dong Qing took out three thousand yuan in cash from Li Yuzhu's bag and placed three bundles of ten-yuan bills on the table in front of Gu Yurou. He said, "You just said that your family situation is not good. We will give you an advance of one month's salary to settle things at home first. You can start work the day after tomorrow!"

Gu Yurou looked at the three thousand yuan with envy. She worked at a bank and it would take her several years of hard work to earn three thousand yuan. She said excitedly, "It is my good fortune to meet a boss like you. I know very well that the salary you give me is more than five times the salary in the industry. Don't worry, I will work hard to repay you. I will not let you spend your money in vain."

The position of company manager is very important. First, you must choose the right person. Second, you must satisfy her with her salary and benefits. Only in this way will she serve you conscientiously.

Dong Qing said, "Thank you for your trust in our company. I will serve as the general manager, and Li Yuzhu will serve as the deputy general manager. You can report any issues to either of us directly. Come with me to take a look at the office space."

In companies without a board of directors, the highest-ranking executive is the general manager, who is usually the owner.

This is simply a matter of job title. Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu are actually the company owners, and their company manager title actually refers to the company general manager. It's just a difference in the way the titles are called. Otherwise, how would the bosses' titles be arranged? You can't just call them "boss" every day; that would sound too awful.

“Okay, I’ll go with you now.” Gu Yurou said to Li Churan, “Cousin, are you busy? If you are, you should go back first.”

Li Churan said, "I really have something to do. I've already completed my task, so I won't accompany you."

Dong Qing laughed and said, "I was planning to treat my old classmate to a big meal tonight, but let's do it another day. I'll treat you another day!"

"Alright, I'll definitely eat this meal. See you another day!"

After Li Churan finished speaking, she stood up, said goodbye to Dong Qing and Li Yuzhu, and turned to walk out of the coffee shop.

After Li Churan left, Gu Yurou put the money and work contract into her handbag, and the three of them walked out of the coffee shop together towards the company.

Dong Qing rented six storefronts in the bustling downtown area of ​​the county town to use as a temporary company. When they arrived at the company's door, a large sign hung above the door: Yusheng Co., Ltd.

Li Yuzhu only then realized that Dong Qing had already chosen a name for the company, which was named after their son. She really didn't need to complain about this. Although they were divorced, their son was theirs, and she had no objection to it.

There was a job posting sign in front of the door, with the application dates written below.
