Future Boss Lady
I handed over my business card and before we could say a few words, Aunt Zhao's friend came. Chen Jin didn't have much to talk about with Aunt Zhao for the time being, so he tactfully said goodbye.
Aunt Zhao tapped the business card on the table with her fingertips and said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, come out and play more often next time when you have time."
Chen Jin said yes and walked out with Shen Baichuan one after another.
Aunt Zhao's friend who had just arrived looked back and said, "Whose girl is that? I don't think I've seen her before." But the boy next to the girl looked quite familiar.
"I met a friend at the beauty salon. She's quite an interesting girl. Look, the company that Yuhua mentioned last time, Baiyou, which has some potential, is run by this girl."
"She opened it? Did she open it herself, or did she invest in it?"
"Look at you, you look down on people."
When she first started to see Chen Jin, she thought of him as a well-behaved and likable junior. After all, Chen Jin would just say hello to her every time he met her and had never contacted her or the previous wives' group. She's a very sensible girl.
Later, when she saw Chen Jin getting close to Yang Qian and Shen Baichuan, she felt that this girl was quite good at making friends. However, judging from the situation, the girl might not be someone who climbed up the social ladder. Judging from her lazy and relaxed posture, she didn't look like someone who was trying to curry favor with others.
Today, I have a new understanding of this little girl Chen Jin. He started the company without making a fuss. It looks like it's going pretty well.
After leaving the beauty salon, Shen Baichuan said to Chen Jin: "The lady who just came, Wanmin Plaza is owned by her family."
Chen Jin exclaimed, but his focus was: "That's amazing. I don't want to open a big shopping mall, I just want an old department store."
She didn’t want it that much before, but now that she owns the Nan’an Furniture Company, her desire to buy the old department store has reached its peak. In this way, clothes can be sold on the bottom two floors and furniture can be sold on the top two floors.
She has already thought of the name of the building.
All that’s left is to buy the building.
Seeing Shen Baichuan stunned, Chen Jin laughed and said, "I know you want to remind me that I can get along well with that aunt. However, I am just a small shrimp now, and it is not interesting to get close to her. Maybe we can cooperate in the future, so let's deal with each other later."
She also advised him: "You make money to make yourself happy, don't think too much. I'm not good at dealing with people, so don't make it difficult for yourself."
Shen Baichuan raised his eyebrows, “Are you not good at dealing with people, or do you not want to?”
"It's almost the same idea. Just don't make things difficult for yourself." Chen Jin looked so happy, he didn't seem to be worried about the company's development at all.
If you ask her, she will definitely say: "I have already given out one-fifth of the profit to hire someone to do the work. This money cannot be wasted."
Chen Jin's car was approaching from a distance. Uncle Wang recognized it at a glance and opened the door.
After saying hello to Uncle Wang, Chen Jin asked Shen Baichuan to put Daju down.
As soon as he got off the car, Big Orange ran straight to Big Yellow like a 100-meter sprint, and then meowed like he was cursing at his good friend.
Chen Jin parked the car here and then crossed the road to the furniture company across the street.
The venue here is not much different from the Baiyou across the street, but it looks more spacious.
"The old workshop is still there, but one of the two rows of bungalows in the middle has been demolished."
The buildings here are not as well preserved as those in Baiyou, so some unnecessary houses have been demolished.
But when I bought it, there were not as many buildings as in Baiyou. There are absolutely no buildings like auditoriums, let alone activity areas.
Four workshops, a whole row of warehouses, a two-story office building and a canteen. The two rows of bungalows that were demolished were previously used as dormitories for employees. They are no longer needed and they also block the space.
"When I first bought it, I came to see that the grass inside was taller than me. In addition to the grass, the road surface inside was also repaired, and it looks much newer."
When the furniture company was listed, Chen Jin did not hold any opening ceremony. He just lit a few firecrackers, invited people from both companies to have a meal at a restaurant, and called it a day.
She didn't call her family or friends to support her. The salary of Baiyou employees in recent months is transparent, and new employees in the furniture factory can find out by asking. With Baiyou's people standing there, the people in the furniture company can rest assured: the boss will not run away without their wages, so they can work with peace of mind.
Those from furniture factories still have the advantage. My uncle's company has taken on housing reform projects, and there are also real estate projects built by his own family. Who doesn't need furniture when moving into a new home?
She asked Director Gao to discuss the contract with her second cousin. If nothing else, at least there would be a guarantee of sales.
As business is business, she didn't show up to avoid making her second cousin feel embarrassed to quote a price to her. I will be happy only when everyone makes a profit.
Unlike the Baiyou across the street, the office building here is on the left side when you enter the gate.
Chen Jin wandered over and took a look. Everyone seemed busy, so she didn't go in to disturb anyone.
The administrative departments here are almost the same as those of Baiyou. Except for the Finance Department, Chen Jin lets Director Gao make the decision on recruiting for other departments. Unexpectedly, most of the people who came in were former employees of Baiyou Garment Factory.
Director Gao must have asked Geng Xin for help in making the recommendation.
"Boss." Director Gao had seen the people a long time ago, but seeing Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan talking, he didn't feel comfortable going up to disturb them. He waited until the people finished talking before going over to say hello.
This was the second time he had met Shen Baichuan, the last time was in Chen Jin’s office in the office building across the street.
At that time, he thought that this person was here to discuss cooperation, but Chen Jin called him and Geng Xin over to learn about the company's situation and did not avoid people at all, so he felt something was wrong.
After reporting his work and leaving, he asked Geng Xin who the man sitting on the sofa was.
When Geng Xin told him that she was the boss' girlfriend, he understood: No wonder.
Later, I went to a small restaurant next door to eat at noon, and heard from the employees of Baiyou that the future boss's wife had gone to see the boss again.
He understood again. To put it simply, this is indeed the future boss lady of their company!
But when he looked at Shen Baichuan's face and her temperament, the title of "Future Boss Lady" sounded awkward but seemed quite appropriate.
This is strange.
Chen Jin and Director Gao were talking as they walked towards the workshop, and suddenly she noticed that Shen Baichuan beside her was staring at her, so she turned her head and asked him what was wrong with her eyes.
Shen Baichuan said helplessly: “Did you forget to introduce me and Director Gao?”
"Didn't I introduce him?" Chen Jin was shocked. How could she remember introducing him before?
Director Gao took the initiative to extend his hand and said, “Although I have never introduced you, I have heard of your name for a long time, Mr. Shen.”
Chen Jin touched her nose awkwardly. She almost immediately understood Shen Baichuan's "demand", and formally introduced the two of them, adding one more sentence: "My partner."
Director Gao smiled and said, "Yes, everyone in the company knows."
Many people in the furniture company here have never seen Shen Baichuan, but it does not prevent them from hearing about the “future boss lady” from the employees of Baiyou across the street.
"Well, you guys continue talking about work, don't bother with me."
"...Well, Director Gao, where were we just now?"
"Oh, speaking of submitting an application to participate in the Canton Fair next spring..."
There are four production workshops, but only two are in use now. One workshop is equipped with equipment, which is second-hand equipment that Director Gao bought from others.
The furniture company needs more workers and now has three times as many employees as Baiyou.
A lot of people will be needed for tomorrow's exhibition, and Director Gao has borrowed some people from Baiyou to help.
The two companies are not in competition with each other and are both owned by the same boss. Director Gao and Geng Xin are old acquaintances, so when the employees of the two companies met in the small restaurant outside, they could at least greet each other in a friendly manner.
The workers' uniforms here are all designed by Baiyou, and then taken to the cooperating processing factories for order making.
Chen Jin was a complete layman in furniture making and had no suggestions to offer. When passing by a workshop with equipment, he emphasized again the importance of paying attention to production safety.
"I'm just taking a walk. Director Gao, you can do your own thing. You don't have to accompany us. I'll also go to the exhibition early tomorrow."
After walking away, Shen Baichuan raised his doubts, “Do you want to change these names?”
"No, they said calling me factory director is more intimate. I think calling me boss makes me look richer." So they called her boss, but she still called them factory director.
The name is a small matter, the key is that everyone is happy. When you are happy, you will have less worries at work.
Shen Baichuan: “…”
What kind of boss brings out what kind of employees, that's good.
When they circled back to Baiyou, they saw a cat and a dog, Daju and Dahuang, lying in the sun, looking lazy.
Uncle Wang was also sitting next to them with his hands behind his back, listening to the radio at his feet.
Chen Jin also went over, found two small stools in the guard room, and chatted with Uncle Wang.
Shen Baichuan often felt that Chen Jin's company was indeed a makeshift team like what she said. At least in his company, there would not be such a lazy time for the doorman.
If it were still a state-owned factory, he would think it was normal, but this is still a private company after all.
But if it is Chen Jin’s private company, it seems inexplicably reasonable.
"Uncle Wang, have the factories around here been snapped up like crazy recently?"
Uncle Wang turned off the radio and said, "Really?! The third factory we went down to, a very small one, was haunted before, no one wanted it even if it was given away for free, and now even if you offer 800,000 yuan, you may not be able to buy it."
Chen Jin's eyes widened. "800,000?! There's nothing in there!"
If I use 800,000 to buy that small piece of land, the price is almost as high as the price of commercial land. Why bother?
"Hey, if you want to buy it and rebuild it into a building, if it can really be used to build a building, wouldn't it be profitable?"
Uncle Wang's expression at this moment was quite similar to Aunt Zhou's expression when she was counting the gossip.
"There is also a factory behind the furniture company, which is almost twice the size of the furniture factory, but they only asked for 500,000 yuan. They said that the factory was an asset of a state-owned factory, and now it has been sold to a factory leader. Now it has been reported to the authorities, and I don't know if there is any problem."
"It was definitely okay to buy it this way before, because it was all abandoned and no one wanted it. But it's not possible now. Once the East Station is built, the location here will be so good, we definitely can't just sell it at that price."
"Boss, you have good vision and acted quickly. If you were slower, how could you have bought these two plots of land?"
"Oh, there's another lucky guy. They bought all the land behind us. The price is almost the same as buying Baiyou. They made a lot of money. They can even rent out the factory in the future."
Chen Jin asked: "Could the lucky guy be the one who went to the factory across the street earlier?"
"That should be it. That guy has visited all the factories in Changhe Town. I think it's him. To do business, you still need a good eye."
Chen Jin smiled without saying anything. This was probably not just about having a good vision, but also about getting news quickly, having strong connections, and having enough money on hand. Otherwise, can you buy a large factory cheaply?
There are so many rich people. Chen Jin sighed in his heart.
Changhe Town might be another industrial park.
"People from the clothing factory's family compound have come to inquire about our situation recently, asking when we will start using the workshop and when we will recruit workers."
Chen Jin smiled, "Next time someone asks, Uncle Wang, just tell them that the future is uncertain and we won't be setting up a processing plant within three years, so Baiyou is not hiring production line workers. If you are suitable, you can go and check out the job posting of the furniture company across the street."
"Although we are not hiring production line workers, we are expanding rapidly now and we still need salespeople in the store."
When Uncle Wang heard that the processing plant would not be set up within three years, he was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said that he would come back and ask next time.
The boss and the factory manager are responsible for the development of the company. They have a long-term vision and all he needs to do is guard the door.
To put it bluntly, as long as everyone gets high salaries, how can the company develop? !
Ever since the boss opened another furniture company, several former leaders in the staff quarters who had been bullying others in private have now kept silent. They have a large family and a big business, and if we really take action to deal with them, they really won't be able to withstand it.
Chen Jin had no idea that such a beautiful misunderstanding could occur. While chatting with Uncle Wang outside the guard room, he ran into Geng Xin coming back on a motorcycle.
"Changed the car? This car looks very impressive." Chen Jin stood up and put his hands on his hips and said, "Director Geng, if you work harder, you can change to a car next year."
Here comes another big promise for her.
Geng Xin doesn't care whether her current means of transportation is a motorcycle or a car. Her mind is now full of the old department store.
"Boss, when are we going to buy the building?"
Chen Jin's heart sank, he rolled his eyes at her and said, "If I had money, I would want to buy a house every day."
No one has the money to join in buying land.
Believe her lies.
Geng Xin said: "Then I will sort out the plan and try to get it to you tomorrow."
It just so happens that she also wants to go to Director Gao’s furniture exhibition tomorrow to learn a little. In March next year, Rong City will hold a provincial fashion exhibition, and Baiyou will definitely participate in it.
Chen Jin said, "Okay, whether to buy or not is one thing, but it's always good to have a plan first."
If there is no refusal, it basically means that the boss also wants to buy it.
Geng Xin saw through her.
The thought of buying the old department store made Geng Xin full of energy. He did not stay to bask in the sun, but rode his motorcycle back to the company.
Chen Jin stayed here until half past five, then told Daju to get up, "Don't be lazy, I'll treat you to a delicious meal."
Daju looked up at her with dissatisfaction, then lay down again. But Dahuang was eager to follow her out.
Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan walked back to the car, gritting their teeth and saying, "I really want to beat it now."
Shen Baichuan chuckled, "It's still young now, please give way to it."
“…I want to beat you up right now too.” Having said that, he still resigned himself to driving over and coaxing the cat into the car, and Shen Baichuan was driven to the back seat.
Chen Jin glanced at the big orange boy who was proudly looking up his little head, and then glanced at Shen Baichuan who was sitting diagonally behind him and was not very happy...
"I only have this cat. I will never have any more cats or dogs in the future."
I wasn't angry at people, but I was angry at a cat that couldn't speak human language.
Chen Jin said this casually, and the big orange cat's little ears moved. It began to lie lazily on the passenger seat, sweeping its tail and staring at Chen Jin.
It was also from this day that Chen Jin discovered that her dog had returned to his childhood state of being gossipy and clingy. Occasionally, he would suddenly hit her with his paws in a mean way, and would not get angry even if she hit him back.
Chen Jin felt relieved thinking that the cat had grown up and become sensible.
After walking around, I found that the old gold shop was closed, so I could only come back tomorrow.
I didn’t dare go to a random restaurant for dinner that I had never been to before, for fear of eating something bad again.
A good day off should not be ruined by a meal.
However, there are so many people on holidays...
After waiting for half an hour before being able to go in for dinner, Chen Jin sighed, “Hey, I should have let Mr. Shen book the place.”
"Who said this is a waste of money?"
"Who? It's not me."
