Chapter 196 Did he hug you?
After Liang Jishen was promoted to general manager, the position of deputy general manager became vacant. Then, Deputy Director Meng was arrested on suspicion of economic crimes, and the situation completely turned upside down.
At the appointment meeting held in the morning, six candidates for deputy general manager were nominated, with an average age of 45 and ranks ranging from deputy section chief to director.
Liang Jishen had the power to appoint and dismiss people, and the most popular candidate, who was clearly a clique, was transferred directly to the marketing department. The marketing department was a low-paying job, with tough work, involving daily field inspections, and even in the scorching heat of July and August, one would get sunburned.
The one with the weakest support was named Jiang. He was promoted from the Tongzhou branch to the headquarters last month. He had an excellent resume, but the key was that he had no foundation and had not formed a small group. Liang Jishen nominated him to succeed as deputy general manager and made a quick decision and reported to the provincial government. Lao Zhang believed in his vision and naturally had no objection.
At this moment, the new Vice President Jiang was visiting Liang Jishen in the reception room next to the living room.
He Sang held a wooden tea tray with three cups of tea on it. She gave the middle cup to Liang Jishen and the second cup to the man on her left. "Vice President Jiang, your Biluochun." She gave the third cup to the man on her right. "Manager Fan, your Pu'er."
Vice President Jiang was surprised. "Mrs. Liang knows I like Biluochun?"
"I asked Secretary Cheng about this. You only drink Biluochun tea and no other tea. Luckily the old house has some, otherwise you would have to drink plain water. But I will add a drop of honey, a black date, and a piece of purple ginseng to make the plain water taste less bland."
Vice President Jiang nodded. "Mrs. Liang is very clever and skillful. I'd really like to try this cup of water. It's very nourishing."
Liang Jishen leaned against the sofa, smiling relaxedly, "We're out of Pu'er tea. What do you want to add?"
"Manager Fan likes sweet and sour dishes, plain water with strawberry puree, rose tea, and rock sugar."
Manager Fan also laughed, "Mrs. Liang actually knows my taste?"
"You assist Mr. Liang and are the future heroes of China Overseas Group. Your colleagues will all fawn over you. I have done so in advance, and I think you will be impressed."
They looked at each other and laughed.
"Don't talk nonsense." Liang Jishen's smile grew wider. He put his arm around her and gently patted her waist with his fingers. "Is dinner ready?"
"Keep it warm in the pot until Director Liang comes home."
The man rubbed her stomach again and said, "Eat something first."
"How can I steal food when the elders are not at the table?"
He Sang pried his hands apart and left the living room.
Vice President Jiang also withdrew his gaze. "No matter how beautiful a vase is, you'll get tired of it after looking at it for a long time. The most important thing for a woman is intelligence and tact. Mr. Liang married a virtuous woman, not a beautiful woman. You must have a discerning eye to lead the China Overseas Group. We are determined to follow you."
He Sang closed the kitchen door, turned on a low fire, and simmered the medicinal food.
Previously, Liang Jishen was second in command, with limited power and responsibility. Now he was the top boss, responsible for the success and failure of the entire China Overseas Group. He didn't want to place his confidants in positions of power, or else he would be blamed and punished if there was any internal chaos.
In politics, one needs skill and a good reputation, even if they're not sociable, to be respected by their subordinates. In the business world, one can't just stand alone; subordinates will collude to undermine them. Over a dozen departments and hundreds of executives and directors control over half of Hebei Province's projects, as well as the channels and prices for bidding. With subordinates harboring ulterior motives and selling business intelligence, the group suffers immeasurable losses.
Liang Jishen was responsible for protecting public property and creating benefits for the province. He had to adapt to the local customs, give up fighting alone, and use the tactics of checks and balances in the business world.
He promoted Vice President Jiang and Manager Fan, one in the Commerce Department and the other in the Finance Department. He won over these two people and basically strangled the lifeblood of the group.
The executives were unable to make any money and were resentful, and they were also afraid that Liang Jishen, due to his high position and power, would become arrogant and believe the slander of villains. They were even afraid that his wife would be bribed and persuade him.
The decline of the Zhou family, one of the four great families, stemmed from Madam Zhou's greed for wealth. The Zhou Group was then dominated by two factions: one good, one bad. The bad faction sent their wives to lavish Madam Zhou with sweet nothings: money, jewelry, and handsome men, taking turns enjoying her company and currying favor. After Madam Zhou's downfall, the wives resorted to playing the sympathy card, playing the friendship card, framing and squeezing out the good faction, and goading her into seeking justice. Consequently, the good felled, the bad rose to power, and the group was nearly emptied of its assets.
Vice President Jiang and Manager Fan came to the old house today to report on their work, but in fact they were trying to find out more about He Sang. Everyone in the industry knew that Liang Ji doted on her deeply, and her "private words" were definitely effective.
These veterans in the shopping malls have seen many ladies from famous families and wives of powerful and wealthy people, and no matter what kind of people they are, they can see through them.
He Sang is a simple and peaceful person, not impetuous, so they follow Liang Jishen without any worries.
At eight o'clock, Liang Yanzhang called and was on his way back to the old house.
They stood up to say goodbye. Liang Jishen personally saw them out the door, went into the kitchen, and hugged He Sang from behind.
She struggled subconsciously, but the struggle was too intense. Liang Jishen frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
When he heard it was him, He Sang stopped struggling and said, "You scared me."
"You are so timid. I am worried about you being alone at home." The man hugged her again, "I will take you to work at the company."
He Sang pursed his lips and smiled, "Can I bring my family?"
"Family members are not allowed." Liang Jishen leaned against her, "Staff are allowed."
“What position is suitable for me?”
"security guard."
She was unhappy, "Are there any women applying for security guard positions?"
Liang Jishen laughed, "Cleaning?"
He Sang drooped his face, "The medicinal food is ready, get up."
"How about being the cleaning team leader?" He couldn't stop laughing. "You take care of them."
"It's burnt!" She raised her butt and pushed Liang Jishen away. "It's been stewing all afternoon."
The man lifted the lid of the earthenware jar and leaned over to take a sniff. "Madam's cooking skills, it would be a shame for me to keep them to myself. How about applying for a job as a cafeteria auntie?"
He Sang held the heat-insulating cloth as a cushion and was about to pick up the soup pot when Liang Jishen grabbed her and held it for her.
"Your burn hasn't healed yet, are you going to burn me again?" He said with a serious expression, "Stand still."
She leaned against the stove, the window was dark, the light was dim,
It is said that Liang Jishen has a bad temper, especially during office hours. If his subordinates make mistakes or neglect to do something, or if a partner breaks an appointment, it would not be a big deal. Rejection of rectification or delay of the date could be a solution. However, he is very serious and merciless. He loses his temper on the spot, which makes Lao Zhang afraid of his stubbornness.
In He Sang's memory, Liang Jishen was quite straight-laced. He didn't like to smile, didn't understand romance, and seemed aloof in their interactions. However, he never lost his temper with her or hit her. Zeng Mingwei did hit Li Zhen once. He had texted his secretary too intimately, and when Li Zhen confronted him about it, he got impatient and pushed her.
Even when he was drunk, Liang Jishen still maintained his remaining rationality, not swearing or using violence. Except for occasionally failing to control his strength during lovemaking, as a man, he was impeccable in every way towards women.
He is powerful and decisive outside, but gentle, accommodating and tolerant at home.
He Sang looked at him and said, "I'm a public relations officer."
"PR who?"
"Client." She looked up. The kitchen was hot, and her cheeks were rosy. "Isn't Xin Xin the PR manager? This position is the closest to you. She once stuffed stockings into your passenger seat."
Liang Jishen suppressed his laughter and stood in front of her, "Bringing up old grudges, huh?"
His eyes accidentally swept across the countertop of the disinfection cabinet, where a mother-of-pearl button was placed. Under the dim light of the wall lamp, he couldn't tell whether it was yellow or white, but he could tell it was white mother-of-pearl. In the Liang family, only Liang Chihui's shirt used white mother-of-pearl.
Liang Jishen guessed why He Sang behaved abnormally.
"Liang Chihui has been here?"
She froze.
The man didn't say anything for a long time.
He Sang turned around.
Liang Jishen's eyes were dim, "Did he hug you?"
